Speaking of which, he felt ashamed. How could he let someone so much weaker than him just escape like that!
Then…
With him as an example, except for a few who refused to believe it, the rest chose to proceed step by step.
A few who didn't believe it even became captives.
It was only when they later followed the squad leader's arrangements and began normal engagements that the disciples of Misty Immortal Palace truly found room to showcase their abilities.
Wu Zongshen, as the senior disciple, was currently in a duel with Jian Chen'an.
"Senior disciple brother, I've waited a long time for this day."
"Me too."
Wu Zongshen narrowed his eyes.
In the past month, besides himself, Jian Chen'an was the other person who had perfectly completed all the training in the Northern Territory.
Precisely because of this, he was curious about what level Jian Chen'an's strength had reached now.
He hadn't broken through, and neither had he, but he believed that Jian Chen'an, like himself, had gone ahead of everyone else, just one final push away from officially entering the Mingxin realm.
This step should be completed soon.
Their strength and foundation were there; it should be faster than they imagined.
The moment they clashed, both looked at each other and smiled.
Indeed!
As fellow disciples, they could naturally feel the changes in each other's internal energy and the different sensations brought by their moves.
That was the true beginning of comprehending what they had learned, and a step towards further advancement.
As for those outside the two of them… the Dragon King Army warriors from the Northern Territory were also giving it their all.
Special operations in complex terrain were barely a challenge for them; as long as it didn't escalate to troop command, they were the top in the Dragon Country.
Basically, everyone was in a stalemate, unwilling to let go.
Lin Xiao and Qi Tian arrived and saw all this.
"Data, it's all data!"
Qi Tian said as he picked up his notebook and started jotting down.
"Brother Xiao."
Ye Chen walked over, pointing at a few people sparring not far away.
"What do you think?"
"There's progress, but it's very small… and their warrior instincts haven't improved much. They're still stuck on moves and not focusing enough on efficiency." Lin Xiao shook his head, extremely dissatisfied.
How could these Misty Immortal Palace disciples feel so much like bookworms?
How could their comprehension be so poor!
They couldn't understand even this little bit?
Everything should prioritize efficiency! In a real encounter with an enemy, who would care about your moves? What's effective and practical is the best choice!
"Yes, I find it strange too. Their cultivation is so high, yet they seem stuck in a dead end." Ye Chen shook his head. This wasn't an isolated case; almost all the Misty Immortal Palace disciples had issues.
Except for those two.
Wu Zongshen and Jian Chen'an.
Only those two looked somewhat like proper fighters when they sparred.
Many of their moves were simplified, and they weren't stuck on them, beginning to have their own understanding.
This understanding was a good start and the key to entering Mingxin.
Ye Chen might not know, but Lin Xiao was well aware that Ye Chen, influenced by Lin Xiao from a young age, had long grasped this point. His entry into the Mingxin realm was a natural progression.
But these people hadn't broken out of their comfort zones.
