I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 50: Applying the Pressure

"Steward, please arrange another Magical Combat match for me," Fang Yun said.

’Since I’ve already come all the way to Battle Peak, I should at least fight in two matches before leaving.’

"You still have the strength?"

"I do."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it for you."

After registering again, Fang Yun and Bai Chengyou walked over to where Wu Junxin was.

Before the Magical Combat match, Fang Yun had agreed to let Bai Chengyou accompany him to find Wu Junxin. However, how Bai Chengyou chose to act from then on was up to him.

Given Fang Yun’s current relationship with Wu Junxin, he wasn’t in a position to introduce others to him.

"I didn’t expect you to still have over half of your Spiritual Power left, Junior Brother Fang." Bai Chengyou was surprised to hear that Fang Yun was immediately jumping into another Magical Combat match.

Normally, one would find a place to recover their Spiritual Power before registering for another match.

The fact that Fang Yun registered again without recovering his Spiritual Power meant that the fight against him had consumed less than half of Fang Yun’s reserves.

’Excellent defensive capabilities, and low Spiritual Power consumption.’

’To be able to refine such a Middle Grade Magical Artifact... Fang Yun really might become a true Artifact Refiner in the future.’

Previously, Bai Chengyou’s words to Fang Yun had just been polite pleasantries; he hadn’t truly believed Fang Yun could become an Artifact Refiner. But now, things were different.

At that moment, Bai Chengyou seemed to understand why Fang Yun was on good terms with Senior Brother Wu Junxin.

’With that level of Artifact Refining skill, if I were Wu Junxin, I’d also be more than willing to befriend a junior brother like Fang Yun. There might be a chance later to ask him to refine a suitable Magical Artifact for me.’

"Mm," Fang Yun nodded in acknowledgment.

’It’s true that I have more than fifty percent of my Spiritual Power left, but to be more precise, it’s over eighty percent.’

After the two walked up to Wu Junxin, Bai Chengyou was the first to speak.

"Senior Brother Wu, regarding my Magical Combat with Junior Brother Fang just now, do you think there’s anything I need to improve on?"

For a disciple like him who frequently came to Battle Peak for Magical Combat, receiving guidance from a senior brother or sister in the top ten of the Inner Sect Ranking was an incredibly fortunate opportunity.

If Fang Yun hadn’t been with him, Wu Junxin might have just given him a look that said to get lost.

"Your techniques are too varied and not refined enough," Wu Junxin replied succinctly.

His combat philosophy was that no matter what fighting style one learned, it must be mastered.

In this regard, Wu Junxin felt that Fang Yun had done exceptionally well. His opponent had been helpless against him, all thanks to a single Middle Grade defensive Magical Artifact.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Wu."

After receiving Wu Junxin’s reply, Bai Chengyou knew he should leave. If he overstayed his welcome now, he definitely wouldn’t get more opportunities for guidance from the senior brother in the future.

’Now that I’ve made this connection, it shouldn’t be hard to exchange a few words with Senior Brother Wu when we meet in the future.’

With this thought in mind, Bai Chengyou quickly departed.

"Junior Brother, your performance was truly impressive," Wu Junxin said to Fang Yun sincerely.

He had never expected Fang Yun to perform like that, and for that performance to be so perfectly to his liking.

He enjoyed befriending junior brothers and sisters with potential. Fang Yun had just fought almost exclusively with a single Magical Artifact. Based on that fighting style alone, Wu Junxin would have been willing to get to know him, even if he lacked talent in other areas.

"I was also satisfied with my performance just now," Fang Yun said truthfully.

The boost from his Combat Talent was far better in a real fight than he had imagined.

Especially with the Profound Iron Shield in hand, it felt like an extension of his own body. With that feeling, controlling the shield was effortless.

"Hahaha, you’re a straightforward one, Junior Brother," Wu Junxin laughed. He had thought Fang Yun might be modest. "By the way, Junior Brother, did you just ask the Steward to arrange another Magical Combat for you?"

"Yes, while I’m still in good condition."

"It seems the match with Junior Brother Bai didn’t drain you much."

Just as Wu Junxin finished speaking, the Steward called Fang Yun’s name.

"Go on."

"Mm."

Fang Yun quickly left, and Wu Junxin watched him go.

But he wasn’t looking at Fang Yun’s back; he was looking at an Outer Sect disciple standing in front of the Steward in the distance.

That was Fang Yun’s next opponent.

"So it’s him. This match should be even more exciting."

While Wu Junxin was muttering to himself, Fang Yun had already reached the Steward.

The Outer Sect disciple the Steward arranged for him this time was also male. He looked tall and sturdy, and was also at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

"Dueling Platform Seven." The Steward assigned him the same platform as before.

As the two walked over, the Outer Sect disciple said nothing.

Given his opponent’s silence, Fang Yun didn’t take the initiative to greet him either.

And so, the two of them ascended the Dueling Platform.

"Fang Yun, Qi Refining Fifth Layer." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Sheng Qiyuan, Qi Refining and Body Refinement, both at the Fifth Layer."

After exchanging courtesies, they announced their names and Realms, then revealed their respective auras.

As soon as Sheng Qiyuan announced his Realm, Fang Yun knew the Steward was putting pressure on him.

A dual cultivator in both Qi Refining and Body Refinement, and at the fifth layer for both—such an opponent was extremely strong. He wasn’t someone an ordinary Qi Refining Fifth Layer Cultivator could handle; it would take someone at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer at least.

In his very first match, Fang Yun had defeated an opponent of the same Realm and still had enough energy for another round of Magical Combat.

Adding those two facts together would result in a very high evaluation.

So, it was understandable that the Steward matched him with such an opponent.

Within the Celestial Cloud Sect, Body Refinement Cultivators were rare. Body Refinement consumed far more resources than Qi Refining. Unless a disciple had a body with exceptional absorption capabilities, almost no one in the Celestial Cloud Sect would choose the path of Body Refinement.

Dual cultivators in both Qi Refining and Body Refinement were even rarer.

Wu Junxin had already arrived below Dueling Platform Seven, eagerly awaiting the start of the match.

"Isn’t that Junior Brother Wu? Are you interested in Junior Brother Sheng too?"

Hearing a woman’s voice, Wu Junxin turned his head to see a figure had landed beside him.

She was a tall female Inner Sect disciple, only slightly shorter than Wu Junxin. The contours of her face were the complete opposite of Song Qiaoqiao’s, giving her a heroic and valiant appearance.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Bai. I’m not very interested in Junior Brother Sheng. The reason I’m watching this Magical Combat is because of Junior Brother Fang Yun."

"Fang Yun... I’ve never heard of him."

Bai Qinying looked at the Dueling Platform, her gaze shifting to the Fang Yun that Wu Junxin had mentioned.

’Just a Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation... aside from being a bit pretty, there’s nothing special about him.’

In Bai Qinying’s eyes, Fang Yun’s appearance wasn’t handsome, but pretty.

"Just watch this Magical Combat match."

"I believe you’ll be interested in Junior Brother Fang after this match, Senior Sister Bai."

Hearing this, Bai Qinying grew even more curious. "It’s not often you’d say something like that, Junior Brother Wu. In that case, I’ll have to watch this match very carefully."

From what she knew of Wu Junxin, he rarely made such definitive statements.

Below Dueling Platform Seven.

Not only Wu Junxin, but now Bai Qinying had also appeared.

The presence of these two top-ten figures from the Inner Sect Ranking attracted many Inner and Outer Sect Disciples over to Dueling Platform Seven.
