Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm - Chapter 482
Chapter 482: Chapter 481: Merely Possessing Skills
Jiang Li felt that this battle was completely meaningless. What would it mean if he won? And what if he lost?
The other Jiang Li was brimming with a fighting spirit. Ever since he defeated Jiang Yixing in Qingcheng, he had never lost a single battle. No matter how difficult the tasks that the system assigned, no matter how formidable the enemies he faced, he was able to complete the tasks smoothly and defeat his enemies.
Having never lost a single battle, this was his confidence.
The other Jiang Li, during his time in the Sword Tomb, used the system to increase his sword Dao talents, and was able to grasp twelve types of swordsmanship from the twelve sword Dao steles.
These twelve types of swordsmanship represented the lifelong endeavours of the Sword Sovereign.
Later, he even received personal guidance from the Sword Sovereign, leading to a rapid advance in his swordsmanship abilities.
As he completed more and more tasks, the points he added to his sword Dao talents also increased more and more, eventually completely surpassing the Sword Sovereign and Bai Hongtu, the two top figures of the sword Dao in Jiuzhou, becoming the number one in the sword Dao.
All Sword Cultivators in the world recognized him, Jiang Li, as their superior.
Jiang Li made a magnificent immortal sword appear. The sword was extremely sharp, capable of cutting through space with a gentle swing.
This was a reward from the system.
In reality, he often used this immortal sword in battle. It was both elegant and lethal.
In his dreams, he could only make this immortal sword appear.
“The Yellow River’s Water came from the heavens!”
With a swing of the Immortal Sword, he showcased a sword Dao that surpassed Bai Hongtu and the Sword Sovereign. The sword Qi was like the waters of the Yellow River, flooding from the sky to the earth.
“Rushes away, not to return again!”
The sword Qi converged into a torrent, going straight towards Jiang Li.
The other Jiang Li took his opponent seriously. In the past, he had never used this sword move before. Even when facing the Heavenly Demons from beyond the domain, he did not use it.
“I told you, this is pointless for the fight.” As the other Jiang Li was gathering his Qi to swing the sword, Jiang Li appeared behind him, delivering a kick.
This peerless sword move fell on an empty space.
Jiang Li measured the Immortal Sword, gave it a gentle flick, and the Immortal Sword issued a sound like a phoenix crowing. It then disintegrated into dust due to the high-speed vibration.
“Do you actually have the gall to use such a weak weapon for battle? You are definitely more robust than this Immortal Sword.” Jiang Li could not comprehend the other Jiang Li’s thought process of using the immortal sword in battle.
“Heaven and earth as a furnace!” shouted the other Jiang Li angrily. An immortal flame ignited at his forehead and spread across the entire dreamscape.
This Immortal flame was also a reward from his system. He used this flame to show his divine skills at the Alchemy Convention. His flame control technique shocked many old masters in the alchemy field, and he even captured the heart of a beautiful female alchemist.
His talent in the alchemy Dao surpassed Su Wei of Alchemy Peak and the Red Crow Furnace, reaching the ultimate realm of alchemy where the heaven and earth served as the furnace.
Using the heaven and earth as a furnace, he forged his body, taking its strength up to another level.
The alchemy Dao could not only be used for making pills, but could also be used to fight enemies.
The raging Immortal Flame felt like a transparent glaze, spreading across the sky. It looked as if a lid of an alchemy furnace had appeared above Jiang Li’s head and was about to engulf him.
“Refine!” The other Jiang Li shouted. This trick was capable of refining the world. According to commentaries of ancient immortal sages, even an immortal being would perish under this move.
“Refine? Start from Qi Cultivation all over again for me!” Jiang Li made a gathering motion with one hand, absorbing the Immortal Flame that was sprawling across the sky into his palm and extinguished it immediately.
“Is this a battle or a performance, with such an illusionary effort?”
“Even if the method of alchemy can be used for battle, how can it be compared to the martial arts and body cultivation techniques that are purely for fighting?”
“You can take your time to deal with fancy moves when facing someone weaker than you. But you still fight like this even when facing an opponent whose strength you have not yet gauged. Do you really think I won’t be merciless?”
Jiang Li did not want to waste time in a chaotic battle with his other self. He engaged in close combat, delivering heavy blows with every punch. The other Jiang Li did not even have the capacity to block.
“Don’t give an indirect punch. Extend your leg, extend your leg!”
“You know my strength surpasses you, yet you dare to fight against my fists. This is the wrong place to try your bravery. You pretend to not know how to use the opponent’s force against them, but I don’t believe you haven’t learned how to deflect punches!”
“Finesse, do you know how to apply finesse?”
“Your battle techniques have to be coherent. It is not about mindlessly copying moves. You need to learn how to dismantle, integrate, and apply those moves.”
“One moment it’s your flame-controlling skill, another moment it’s some battle formation. Can you not combine both? Use the flame to set the battle formation.”
“The same goes for the sword Dao. Don’t you know how to use your countless sword Qi to form a battle formation, rather than just gathering them all into one stream of sword Qi?”
“Where is your battle awareness? You’re far inferior to Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin now.” Jiang Li was referring to Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin in his world. He was still unaware of how Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin in this world performed.
“Impossible, impossible, impossible, how can I not defeat you?”
“I also want to ask the same question. Your power is comparable to Chu Di’s, but in terms of battle awareness, Chu Di outclasses you.”
The other Jiang Li did not know who Chu Di was. He was currently on the defensive and would like to regain control, but his opponent kept him suppressed.
If his opponent was from a parallel world, how could the difference be so huge?
He could not understand it. In the Ring Universe, he learned martial arts and fought against the Twelve Kings; in the Ancient World, he learned to calculate and helped YuFeng reach the Nascent Soul Stage; in the Lingxi World, he analyzed the demonic race’s bloodlines, learned various demonic skills, and stopped a nation-ending beast tide; in the Eira World, he learned to use the power of faith and soul, becoming the eighth God…
He had also completed all the tasks released by the system – optional tasks, obligatory tasks, and tasks with the recommendation not to give up. He had even completed the side task of gaining source points, and maxed out the attribute points on the system panel. He had also learned all the Cultivation techniques in Jiuzhou.
He asserted with confidence that he had pushed the system to its limit. Even if he met another version of himself from a parallel world, at most they would just draw. There would not be this kind of total domination.
Could it be that the system of the other party was more advanced?
“Do not be distracted during a battle.” Jiang Li’s voice sounded like a devil in the ears of the other Jiang Li. It reminded him when he was weak and undergoing the Sword Sovereign’s devilish training.
Jiang Li had no intention to be polite to the other Jiang Li, and had him on the ropes, hitting him like a punching bag.
The battle ended. The other Jiang Li did not think about regaining his honor anymore.
“It was indeed my fault to disturb your private moment. I did remind you to put on your clothes, and since we do not often meet, why would you think that I saw everything?”
“Be rational, don’t get carried away by lust.”
The other Jiang Li wanted to nod, but when he heard Jiang Li’s last statement, he forcibly stopped himself.
Jiang Li helplessly said: “Alright, these are all up to you. Every parallel world has its way of living. You might not be as fun as Chu Di to beat up, but you don’t seem like the type who would kill at a moment’s notice.”
The other Jiang Li softly replied, “Well, I have a pretty good reputation in the world of Jiuzhou.”
The other Jiang Li wasn’t lying. Although he couldn’t beat Jiang Li, he was the strongest in their world.
He defended Jiuzhou, fought against the Heavenly Demons from beyond, and never slaughtered innocents.
“They can all testify.” The other Jiang Li pointed at his harem.
Jiang Li glared: “We are all from law school, those people should be disqualified from testifying!”
“Oh, it’s been such a long time since I’ve reviewed, I forgot.”
