Preparations

Wu Jian and Hou Jingshu spent the next few days either sparring or cultivating. They both knew that attaining greater strength in a matter of days was impossible, but that wasn’t an excuse to stop. Wu Jian firmly believed that it was important to keep pushing no matter what. Even if they didn’t grow stronger now, by continuously pushing themselves day after day, they would eventually achieve the strength they desired.

Hou Jingshu’s cultivation method allowed her to achieve greater strength at a quicker rate than Wu Jian. She was a vicious fighter with more tenacity than he had ever seen in a person before. Just like she had requested, he held nothing back, fighting her with every trick he had. This meant he won their spars almost every time. However, it also meant Hou Jingshu got just a little bit stronger, just a little bit better, after each spar.

And with strength came increasing amounts of destruction.
