Hu Bugui kept walking forward, his attacks ever faster, blocking every one of Shen Mu's strikes. The afterimages he left grew more numerous, and the power erupting from his physical divine ability grew stronger and stronger.
Shen Mu had been holding back the force of his moves, but he soon felt Hu Bugui's counterattacks rising sharply. His eyes lit up, and his own strikes grew fiercer and fiercer as he continued to press Hu Bugui, determined to squeeze out more of his latent potential!

She walked out through the ruined back door of the hall and gazed up at the lofty Lingxiao Treasure Hall. "He too has no Divine Bridge. The martial path has an insurmountable mountain — and he is that mountain. He is the foremost man of the martial path!"
