Chapter 845: Admirable Perseverance

Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Admirable Perseverance

Three people, three figures, stood erect in the grand hall, enduring the terrifying and boundless oppressive force that sharpened them.

Among these three, the one who appeared to struggle the most was not Dugu Nian, nor Long Zhiming, but Fang Lin.

This was also a fact that Fang Lin himself found very helpless.

Long Zhiming was mighty in strength, and his physical body was also remarkably powerful. Although he was no longer as relaxed as before, he could still grit his teeth and persist.

As for Dugu Nian, unless the pressure of this place increased to an unimaginable level, she could stand here indefinitely.

Fang Lin had managed to hold on until now solely through his own capabilities. His physical body was strong, but it wasn’t necessarily much stronger than Long Zhiming’s.

The key was that Fang Lin’s realm was too low, lacking enough Inner Strength to help his physical body dissolve the oppressive force, and was essentially relying on his physical body to endure it.

As a result, the pressure that Fang Lin’s physical body had to bear was much greater than that of Long Zhiming, who could continue to stand not just by relying on his physical body, but also on his Inner Strength.

At this moment, Fang Lin already felt that he was gradually reaching his limit.

His physical body had undergone several enhancements and was above most Spirit Vein martial artists, but it still wasn’t formidable enough to be comparable to a Spirit Bone.

One could even say that Fang Lin’s physical body was still a long way off from the Spirit Bone realm.

Dugu Nian, seeing Fang Lin drenched in sweat, couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not going to last much longer, are you?”

Fang Lin bared his teeth and managed to curse, “Shut up!”

Dugu Nian snorted, her face showing a provocative expression, looking disdainfully at both Fang Lin and Long Zhiming.

“Alas, it seems I am the most formidable after all,” Dugu Nian said in an insufferably arrogant manner.

Long Zhiming’s expression twitched, while Fang Lin looked perplexed.

Time slowly passed, and the three remained standing in the grand hall, never giving up.

Those who had already given up gazed at the three with shock and admiration in their eyes.

“They are truly remarkable.”

“Long Zhiming is one thing, but that Fang Lin and the girl, they are the really frightening ones.”

“Nowadays, even a young girl can be so profound and inscrutable; does that leave any hope for the rest of us?”

····

Outside the Wuji Battle Temple, Elder Huang and the others also witnessed the situation inside the grand hall, each of them staring agape, taking quite a while to recover from their astonishment.

“That Dugu Nian, she can actually endure until now?” a Pill Alliance Steward couldn’t help but say, genuinely too shocked.

Not just him, even Elder Huang included, they all felt extremely shaken by Dugu Nian’s ability to persevere this long.

“This defies common sense,” another Steward said.

Elder Huang gave a wry smile: “Perhaps we’ve all been deceived. This lass might have had an extraordinary opportunity, which is why she has kept her true abilities hidden.”

“Just don’t know which of the three will last to the end,” someone said.

“Judging from the situation of the three, both Long Zhiming and the young girl have a chance. Fang Lin is probably approaching his limit,” said Elder Huang.

···

As everyone had expected, Fang Lin indeed reached his limit. The oppressive force inside the grand hall had become incredibly terrifying, as if invisible giant hands continuously slapped against the three of them, intent on beating them down.

Long Zhiming’s expression was incomparably solemn, sweat gradually beading on his forehead, but his form remained stable, without the slightest tremor.

Fang Lin’s figure had started to shake a bit, the violent pressure making it nearly impossible for him to stand straight.

Even so, Fang Lin chose to persist.

Even if he had reached his limit, Fang Lin wanted to break through that limit and push his flesh’s endurance to another level.

Of course, the process was excruciating, requiring perseverance.

“If you can’t hold on, just give up, don’t injure yourself,” Dugu Nian couldn’t bear to see Fang Lin like this and couldn’t help but advise.

Fang Lin no longer had the spare energy to speak, merely shaking his head slightly in response.

Seeing Fang Lin’s stubbornness, Dugu Nian did not say anything more; having gone through so much, she was very clear about what kind of person Fang Lin was, extremely stubborn and also very mad.

Long Zhiming was watching Fang Lin, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration. Even he thought the pressure at this moment was terrifying, yet Fang Lin was still clenching his teeth and persisting.

“You’ve already been eye-catching enough, why don’t you just give up? If your flesh is injured, it will be a loss beyond remedy,” Long Zhiming spoke. He still had spare energy and was able to talk at the moment.

Fang Lin smiled bitterly and once again just shook his head without saying a word.

Boom!!!

The pressure increased once more, causing Fang Lin’s figure to sway. As he staggered, it seemed as if he were about to fall.

Everyone thought Fang Lin was done for and silently sighed, but then they saw Fang Lin roar in anger, his feet rooting to the ground as though planted, and he somehow managed to stand firm once again.

This scene shocked everyone, even Long Zhiming showed a look of astonishment.

Blood seeped from the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth, dropping to the ground and splattering into tiny crimson droplets.

This was a sign that his body was injured, and although Fang Lin was still standing there, his body was definitely damaged.

“Don’t keep pushing yourself, you will be seriously injured!” Dugu Nian said, reaching out to stop Fang Lin.

But Fang Lin grabbed Dugu Nian’s hand, not using much strength, but enough for Dugu Nian to feel Fang Lin’s determination.

“No worry!” Almost gritting his teeth, Fang Lin spat out these two words.

Dugu Nian was frustrated to no end; how could this guy be so crazy? Yet Fang Lin’s persistence left her helpless.

Long Zhiming glanced at Fang Lin and then withdrew his gaze. In his view, although Fang Lin’s persistence to this point was admirable, people should know when to advance or retreat, understand moderation. Now, with Fang Lin already spitting blood, it was time he could have given up, yet he still persisted. While his willpower was commendable, it was also quite foolish.

Only Fang Lin himself knew the meaning behind his persistence.

The pressure inside the temple was indeed terrifying, but Fang Lin was also using this pressure to refine himself.

Fang Lin’s flesh had been tempered by the refining of three stalks of Sacred Medicine, along with the aid of Pills, that’s why it was able to ascend to this point.

But this rapid progress also caused some almost imperceptible flaws to emerge in Fang Lin’s flesh.

Just as the instability and shaky foundation resulting from advancing realms too quickly, Fang Lin’s flesh faced the same issue.

Fang Lin had long been aware of this situation, but hadn’t had a good solution.

Now, within the Wuji Battle Temple, Fang Lin was using the pressure of this place to temper and squeeze his own body. As long as he could persist, the issues with his flesh would be resolved.

Of course, this was also an extremely risky move. If he didn’t handle it well, it could cause even greater damage to his body.
