I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 817 - 619: You Deserve Half the Credit for My Breakthrough

This trial took a full month in seclusion.

The Thirteen Elders... Their strength indeed far surpasses that of ordinary members of the Demon clan.

The benefits Xu Lingjun gained from battling the Celestial Lizard were in no way inferior to those gained from the previous battle with the Earth Bear.

It's worth noting, after fighting with Xu Lingjun, the Earth Bear was nearly exhausted to death, seemingly seeking death with a mutual destruction strike...

However, the losses were too great; he would have collapsed from exhaustion even without fighting, hence he had to resort to the all-burn-together attack.

This suggests that in fact, he was forced into it.

But after the battle with the Celestial Lizard, it was clear there was still a considerable amount of strength left, and the gains were no less at all.

From this perspective...

"It seems, I can still win." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

A dozen days later, Xu Lingjun still hadn't shown up. The Celestial Lizard, fully recovered and restored to peak condition, self-assuredly thought to himself, "His defense power is indeed still a realm apart from Xuan Gui. He took so long to recover from his injuries afterward. It seems if he still agrees to fight me again, I will surely win!"

My biggest concern now is that he might realize the significant power disparity between us and suddenly back out... then, no matter how right I am, there would be no way to address it.

In other words, next time I might need to hold back a bit, making him think the power gap between us isn't that large so I can lure him into continuing this wager, and then seize a strong opportunity to win decisively?

The Celestial Lizard nodded with satisfaction, thinking it was a good idea.

Little did it know that Xu Lingjun, while in seclusion, was also contemplating...

The Celestial Lizard was far stronger than he had imagined, and if it weren't for him using the power of the bracelet to stun it directly, it wouldn't have been so easy to catch.

But such a strong enemy...

If I engage in this level of combat a few more times, the late stage of the Divine Soul could be within reach.

"It seems, in the future, I need to hold back a bit, not letting him discover the significant power gap between us, lest he gives up and refuses to fight me. Also, fighting more could reveal more problems from him."

Xu Lingjun sat cross-legged, pondering silently.

And so...

After absorbing and transforming all the power.

A significantly stronger Xu Lingjun entered the dungeon once more.

"Come, if you still dare to continue fighting me."

"Hahaha, I already know your secrets clearly. Challenging me now, it's impossible for you to win again!"

The two clashed together once more.

Xu Lingjun was still the one getting beaten... but the Celestial Lizard was shocked to find that the opponent's body had a few more degrees of resilience than before; each punch landing on him shook his own arm with a faint pain.

Not only was I not in full condition before, but this guy also wasn't going all out previously.

But I'm still stronger.

The Celestial Lizard let out a long roar, no longer holding back... unleashing blows like a storm upon Xu Lingjun, leaving him only able to defend, unable to retaliate.

Half an hour later.

The Celestial Lizard's legs inexplicably weakened, feeling somewhat exhausted.

He was startled, silently wondering why he was getting tired so quickly.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xu Lingjun rose and punched him to the ground...

Securing victory once more between them.

"Damn, it must be because I'm not accustomed to the Spiritual Qi of Blue Star, leading to a body weakness I wasn't even aware of. Next time, I will definitely win."

Xu Lingjun then asked the question he had long wanted to inquire about.

"Among over fifty members of the Demon clan, how many elders are under His Majesty Jianfeng's command?"

"Not counting His Majesty Jianfeng, there are seven people, but His Majesty Jianfeng is urgently contacting other elders, with two already close to being persuaded. After all, His Majesty Jianfeng values his compatriots greatly, willing to co-govern the Spirit Realm with them as long as he establishes his leadership, which fundamentally isn't much different from the earlier Blue Star, so the other elders do not reject it."

So, with Jianfeng included, eight of the Thirteen Elders have already gathered?

And likely, more might join in the future...

Xu Lingjun turned and left, his steps slightly unsteady, just like last time.

But the Celestial Lizard angrily shouted, "Remember, Xu Lingjun, next time... next time, I won't lose again."

"I'll be back in a month."

Xu Lingjun gritted his teeth strongly, speaking... with a somewhat strained tone.

And all these details convinced the Celestial Lizard even more that Xu Lingjun was really reaching his limit... although, in fact, Xu Lingjun truly was reaching his limit.

A month later.

"Why can Jianfeng transform his teeth like that?"

"His Majesty Jianfeng stumbled into the Spirit Realm by a rare chance back then and was taken as a mount by a certain human there... Later on, he took advantage of his master's inattentiveness and devoured him, gaining numerous inheritances from him. Then he contacted many of our kin, and together we managed to take over the Spirit Realm, and as for transforming his teeth into weapons, that was also one of the inheritances from his former master. In fact, His Majesty Jianfeng's power wasn't that much stronger than ours initially, but it was because of this coincidental inheritance that his strength soared, surpassing all elders and becoming the true leader of the Demon Gods."

Another half month later.

"Have you accessed those so-called inheritances?"
