Therefore, the word "effort" is merely a deception by the upper echelons of all walks of life to keep the lower classes obedient.
Because of this, Xie Wenren grew to hate Li Ping'an and Pei Yuanjing even more!
In his heart, he swore again silently that today, neither Li Ping'an nor Pei Yuanjing would escape death!
"This beast, Pei Yuanjing, has treated my brother Maha and me as mere experience packs, using us as stepping stones for his constant breakthroughs in Realm!"
Li Ping'an, witnessing Pei Yuanjing's cultivation continually increasing, couldn't help but curse and understood why Pei Yuanjing had been reluctant to deliver a deadly blow to the Defrocked Monk Maha.
Next, Li Ping'an saw the most terrifying and deadly thing, which was due to Pei Yuanjing's research into the Flame Cloud Sect's Cultivation Methods, presumably the Artifact Refining Technique; he could actually absorb Spiritual Essence while fighting the Defrocked Monk Maha!
