Chapter 1226 - Time To Test Our Cultivation

"A-Average?!" Liana felt like her world was turned upside down. If that's average, just what kind of monsters could be found in their Turin Region? "I've always known that our Huring Continent was a weak and isolated continent ever since I joined the Tenke Kingdom's forces. However, I didn't think the difference between us and the top powerhouses was so big."

Rean shook his head in response, saying, "Our Turin Region is far from being a top power in our continent... plus I don't think our continent is anything that spectacular either. However, Roan and I lived in a remote region of our continent, so we don't know much about our own home outside of the area we lived in. We were still Nascent Soul Realm cultivators before we were sent to this place, after all."

'There you go! The perfect excuse!' Rean thought.

Roan, on the other hand, thought that Rean was getting into too many details about something that didn't exist. 'That's enough. More than that, and it might become more complicated than we would like.'

Rean looked back at him and nodded. 'Fine.'

Rean and Roan had successfully gone through their breakthrough. Going all out allowed them to jump two stages of power compared to the geniuses of the Huring Continent. If they used Elemental Exchange, fighting those at the Peak Stage would also be possible.

However, it couldn't compare to how they were in the Mortal Realm. Back there, they could jump more than an entire realm of cultivation and go even further with Elemental Exchange. But then again, they haven't started to cultivate a Body Cultivation Technique just yet. While the real top disciples, like Liana, definitely had. From Roan's analysis, after fighting ghosts up to this point, he and Rean could definitely defeat her at their actual level.

Yet, there was a catch. Liana was also an Initial Stage Saint. If she was a Middle Stage Saint, they would just be slightly stronger, and victory would be certain. If she was at the Late Stage, then she definitely would have the advantage, and defeat would be a given.

Roan was using Liana as a marker to analyze the twins' chances against those guys from the Blood Path Sect. 'She's definitely between the best we can find in Huring Continent. After all, that Pure Yin Body of hers is truly remarkable, and she herself has put a lot of effort into her training.'

Rean agreed with Roan. 'Truth be told, I don't think someone like Hedoi would be her match if they were in the same cultivation level. Hedoi would need to be one stage higher than Liana to fight her on equal terms. But then again, there are those guys from the Blood Path Sect that you believe to be their real top disciples, right?'

Roan nodded, telling him, 'Yes. One or two of them might really have the strength to match Liana in head-to-head combat if they were at the same level.' Roan was obviously talking about Granto and company. 'Let's suppose we're right about this assessment. If I use the Glittering Crystal to jump one cultivation realm and go all out, that means I could fight someone like Hedoi, who's at the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Of course, Hedoi is just at the Initial Stage. I'm also using him as a marker.'

Roan continued, 'If they have someone like Liana, then the Middle Stage of Elemental Transformation would be my limit. Unless, of course, I use our Elemental Exchange. In that case, fighting someone with Liana's average power would allow me to jump two stages once again. The Late Stage of Elemental Transformation is the limit once again. As for the Peak Stage of Elemental Transformation...'

Rean understood what he meant by that. 'At that point, it wouldn't be based on one's cultivation level anymore. Raw power alone, your enemy would have the advantage, but you have your skills... albeit temporarily. It would be hard to predict the outcome.'

Roan agreed with Rean's words. 'Yes, the issue here is the time limit. The Glittering Crystal would last ten minutes at the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, so I'm guessing it will only last half the time at the Saint Realm. So... five minutes. In five minutes, I would need to defeat my opponent.'

Rean couldn't help but ask, 'Is that enough?'

'I don't know,' Roan said in response. 'There are too many factors to consider. First of all, would their top disciple be alone? If not, how many people do I need to deal with at the same time? And things like that...'

Kentucky looked at Rean and Roan while they were talking. He was obviously receiving the same messages. Eventually, he could not help but tell them, 'Why do you two look so serious? Isn't our course of action pretty obvious in that situation?' Kentucky then pointed in the direction they came from. 'If that happens, jump on my back, and let's run!'

Rean and Roan looked in surprise at Kentucky. 'Well... that's true.'

Liana noticed their silence and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about between yourselves? Let me in as well."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, "We were just considering our actions if we find the Blood Path Sect people once again."

"What have you decided, then?"

"Run!" Rean answered straight away. "We're not their match, so why fight? We're a lot more confident in escaping instead."

Liana couldn't help but laugh after hearing that. "Hahaha! That's true. If it's just running away, then even I have the confidence to do so." However, her smile disappeared right after as the Yin Energy in the surroundings suddenly changed.

Roan didn't seem surprised, though. "Oh, he's finally here. Ghosts are surely slow."

*Wraaaaa!*

It was then that many ghosts appeared in the distance, heading in their direction. However, Liana, Kentucky, and Rean immediately noticed something different in the biggest ghost at the back of the pack. "A complete Yin Ghost Core!"

Roan nodded, saying, "I noticed his presence way before we started our breakthrough. Once we decided to go for it, I was pretty sure he would notice us as well." Roan then took his White Scythe out of his spatial ring. "Let's go. It's time to test our cultivation."
