During the fight, Wang Yue noticed that while Xuan Ji's internal energy (Qi) quality was just average, his physical toughness was off the charts.
Even relying solely on raw physical strength, the monk could hold his own against most cultivators below Phase 3 of the Transcendence Realm. Toss his Qi into the mix, and even a peak Phase 3 powerhouse would have a hard time taking him down.
Dual cultivation of body and spirit!
Wang Yue was low-key jealous. Sure, his Qi quality was so elite that if he went all out, even a dual-threat like Xuan Ji wouldn't stand a chance—but as a martial artist, who's going to say no to more power?
Plus, as a total "alpha male" type, having a tank-like physique wouldn't exactly hurt his performance in the bedroom either.
The battle raged on for over two hours. Whenever they hit their limit, they'd drop down to the water's surface to catch their breath and recharge before jumping back into the fray.
