Without prolonged cultivation, one can only weaken, and cultivation implies the consumption of resources.
Just look at the masses of powerful figures in this Paradise World, indulging in a life of pleasure and oblivion.
Perhaps some of them entered this place as experts at the second level of Void Shattering.
But lost in dreams and neglecting cultivation for extended periods, their strength begins to decline, gradually reverting to the first level of Void Shattering.
The same goes for the people of the War God Path. If they don't engage in combat for a long time, their strength will also regress.
A large amount of resources is necessary to sustain these powerhouses and enable them to gradually grow stronger.
Small factions can only obtain limited resources in the end.
Ultimately, it still depends on the performance of the major forces.
The Sword Demon Sect had long been planning to join someone else's faction, but they haven't found a good option yet.
"I think a faction should at least have someone at the fifth level of Void Shattering to be considered decent."
"Without a fifth-level expert, they're just a bunch of ants gathered together, unable to accomplish anything."
"That's the reality for small factions. Without a fifth-level expert, they can only act according to others' whims."
The Three Sword Masters began to discuss.
They were debating whether it was feasible to merge the entire Sword Demon Sect into Jiang Wang's faction.
They quickly concluded that it was not, because there was no fifth-level expert within this faction.
Fifth-level strength is a watershed moment for the ninety million worlds.
It's also very important for factions.
The strength of a faction with a fifth-level expert is naturally different from one without.
Without a fifth level, it's just a small faction; with a fifth level, it's a medium-sized faction.
If there are enough fifth-level experts or those above, it can gradually develop into a large faction.
Although Jiang Wang has a promising future and his subordinates are incredibly strong, it's all potential.
But to entrust the entire Sword Demon Sect to Jiang Wang's command is a bit too reckless.
Unless Jiang Wang can break through to the fifth level of Void Shattering, only then will the Sword Demon Sect consider it further.
"I think there's still a good chance. The power he's currently displaying seems to be at the peak of the fourth level."
"Perhaps in this battle, he can touch the fifth level of Void Shattering."
"Directly breaking through and becoming a fifth-level expert is entirely possible."
The Three Sword Masters said these words.
They were very optimistic about Jiang Wang, believing that this boss had a great future.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, they understood Jiang Wang's character to some extent.
He's a genuinely practical person, neither exceptionally good nor bad, pursuing profits but not letting his subordinates suffer too much.
He's the type who makes a profit for himself but doesn't mistreat his subordinates.
Although he's not a god-like boss, he's not a devilish one either.
Who would have thought that Jiang Wang's "moderate" demeanor is already considered a high-quality existence in the ninety million worlds?
You should know that the bosses of other factions are all quite troublesome individuals.
Either they are excessively greedy, constantly exploiting their subordinates, or they are lunatics who enjoy slaughtering their subordinates.
An existence like Jiang Wang is actually a very rare type.
"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in this battle."
"What big thing? Isn't it just breaking through to the fifth level? Both of the combatants in this battle are at the peak of the fourth level."
"Regardless of who it is, they both have a good chance of reaching the fifth level. Whoever gets there first will win."
The Three Sword Masters said. At this moment, the battle had reached a stalemate, and for a while, it was difficult to determine the victor.
The truth is, both sides were very close in strength, resulting in this evenly matched feeling.
And their statement wasn't without reason. Whoever could break through to the fifth level would gain an advantage in the battle.
Without a doubt, Scar, the War God Path expert who was adept at seeking breakthroughs in battle, had a great advantage.
He was likely to break through to the fifth level of Void Shattering before Jiang Wang.
Chapter 722: Advantageous
How could Jiang Wang not know that this battle was more advantageous to Scar? But perhaps, that was what he wanted.
This was a super high-level battle, and for Jiang Wang, such a battle was actually very beneficial.
A series of secret techniques needed battle data to be improved, and Jiang Wang himself was eager for strong opponents.
He had a premonition that as long as he fought against strong enemies, his breakthrough would become easier.
The development of the Eye of God secret technique would probably take a long time if he slowly grinded it out.
But if the intensity of the battle was high enough to cause strong resonance and bring terrifying pressure, it might be accelerated.
Moreover, the most important point was that the War God Path's secret techniques had already touched the realm of the soul at the fourth level.
In fact, most secret techniques were like this: the fourth level touched the soul realm, the fifth level produced a qualitative change, and then it was a continuous ascent.
If the other party's soul power accelerated its operation and then reached the fifth level,
and the nanobots recorded the entire process, then the research on the soul realm could be more in-depth.
Jiang Wang was taking a risk...
The strength of the person in front of him was actually somewhat beyond his imagination. It was already so difficult at the fourth level.
If he broke through to the fifth level, Jiang Wang would probably have an even bigger headache.
But Jiang Wang didn't have many other thoughts in his mind. He didn't think he would lose.
The two sides had been entangled in close combat for a long time, constantly venting their own power at each other.
Fist against fist, rapid strikes against rapid strikes, each punch was thrown out with earth-shattering power.
Jiang Wang frowned. He felt that his opponent was very similar to him. This person seemed to never have a moment of exhaustion.
He himself would not run out of energy either.
"If his heart doesn't die, the battle won't stop. He can fight like this with me for a whole day."
Jiang Wang muttered, and then he began to try changing his moves.
"Heavenly Fire! Holy Judgment!"
Suddenly, he grabbed Scar's wrist. In an instant, the highly concentrated holy light turned into flames.
A huge fireball, like the sun, appeared in front of everyone.
Scar was swallowed by this fireball. Logically speaking, this was an extremely painful thing, but he didn't say a word.
Cracking sounds continued non-stop. He was frantically operating his lightning battle qi.
"Lightning Fist!"
He only knew this one move, an ordinary punch wrapped in lightning battle qi.
Thunder exploded, battle qi surged, and Jiang Wang, who was running the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, was actually directly blasted away.
"Seriously? I even locked his hands, and he can still punch? Is it a super armor with immunity to control!"
Jiang Wang complained for a while, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.
"Huff..."
It could be seen that the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment just now was not without effect on Scar.
There was a bit of fatigue in his eyes, and he began to pant heavily.
The clothes on his body were already tattered, and Scar's body was covered in scars.
Especially the burns, which were the traces left by the holy fire just now.
He propped up a battle qi barrier, but it failed to withstand it 100%.
The amount of damage had exceeded the amount of shield, and his body was naturally seriously injured.
"That punch, you're actually okay."
Scar said, feeling a sense of emotion.
"I developed a lot of offensive secret techniques, but at the same time, I also developed some defensive and even recovery secret techniques."
"The effect isn't very good, but it barely withstood your attack."
Jiang Wang said, revealing a smile.
Because he couldn't get the defensive and recovery-related secret techniques in the Holy Temple, he was just fiddling around.
The only application methods he could think of were just gathering the holy light in one place and turning it into a powerful defensive armor.
And recovery was even simpler, focusing on "large quantity and full satisfaction."
Holy light originally had the effect of healing injuries, just focus on this aspect and increase the output.
To be honest, these two moves were far from being called "secret techniques", they were just the purest energy operation.
Sure enough, he still had to rummage through the Holy Temple's secret technique library. There must be secret techniques for healing and defense.
"You are indeed a great opponent. You and that pair of twins arrived at the same time, right."
"You know our War God Path very well, and there is a famous saying circulating in the War God Path that I think is very reasonable."
"Fighting is more enjoyable than matters between men and women. I feel very good now, how about you?"
Scar said, the battle qi on his body becoming even more turbulent.
Growing stronger with each battle, that is the War God Path.
