Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 481

Tong Wudi felt a wave of emotion he had never experienced before. He tried to understand and deeply grasp it.

In the end, he finally realized that this emotion was what people commonly referred to as frustration!

That’s right.

Frustration!

Since his birth, gathering the luck of the Immortal Realm, he had been undefeated, dominating others without breaking a sweat.

This was also the reason why he was called Tong Wudi.

His heart was filled with arrogance, having never tasted the bitterness of defeat. He had always sailed smoothly and appeared to be the only favored child of heaven and earth.

But now, having been defeated by Ye Junlin, Tong Wudi truly felt the sting of frustration.

He couldn’t believe that someone could actually defeat him in this trial!

At that moment, hearing his teammates’ blame, Tong Wudi was even more furious. He shouted:

“Shut up! Just shut up! So I died once! Next time, I’ll definitely beat him! If you keep talking, I’ll just gift my head to him!”

Upon hearing this, Bao Nishuang and the others fell silent, not daring to refute.

After all, Tong Wudi was the core of the team; to win, they had to rely on him.

“Wudi is so lonely; just you wait, the show has just started!” Tong Wudi gritted his teeth.

A fiery rage of revenge ignited in his eyes.

As the Invincible Immortal Emperor, he had to reclaim his honor.

As for his strategy, he needed to level up quickly to gain an advantage and acquire more powerful Supreme Talent Cards to arm himself.

On the other side.

Although he had defeated Tong Wudi, Ye Junlin did not let his guard down, knowing he had only won by a hair’s breadth.

To maintain his advantage, he had to keep leveling up. That was the only way to enhance his edge and continue suppressing the opponent!

So, Ye Junlin began devouring the jungle, accumulating experience.

Upon reaching the sixth level, a special Supreme Talent Card caught his attention.

Its trait was quite peculiar; as long as he stayed at his altar for ten minutes, he would attain full cultivation level!

That meant reaching the maximum level, which was the twelfth level!

“To be honest, reaching max level in ten minutes seems like a pretty sweet deal,” Ye Junlin mused, stroking his chin with keen interest.

The later one got in levels, the more experience was needed. Relying on farming and killing enemy heroes to reach max level twelve would generally only happen towards the end of the match.

The time required? At least an hour!

So, reaching max level in just ten minutes—it was clear even to a fool what choice to make.

As for his match against Tong Wudi, they had to level up as fast as they could; the higher the level, the greater the advantage.

Instead of grinding endlessly in the jungle, it made more sense to chill at the fountain for ten minutes.

Because once those ten minutes passed, he would be a max-level powerhouse!

At that point, not just one Tong Wudi, even three Tong Wudis wouldn’t stand a chance against him!

Of course, he’d have to ensure that the opponent wouldn’t push his high ground in those ten minutes. If they did, it would get awkward.

But Ye Junlin thought again; Tong Wudi had just lost, and he definitely wouldn’t dare to play so aggressively—he would surely focus on leveling up, ensuring he had the strength to defeat him.

During this time, it was nearly impossible for him to launch an attack!

After mulling this over, Ye Junlin opened the teleportation scroll and decisively chose to go back to the fountain.

Swish!

Accompanied by a flash of light.

Ye Junlin appeared at the altar, sheathing his sword without hesitation, then sitting cross-legged to meditate.

In those short ten minutes, everything happening in the canyon was none of his business.

“What is happening…”

The cultivators outside felt perplexed by this unusual behavior.

How could they suddenly return while fighting?

Were they giving up?

At the same time.

After respawning, Tong Wudi either cleared minions or farmed the jungle, leveling up to the sixth stage as well.

Equipped with multiple Supreme Talent Cards, his strength became even more powerful than before.

But Tong Wudi knew very well that solely relying on this ability would make it quite tough to defeat Ye Junlin.

The reason was simple; he was working hard, and so was everyone else. He had to outwork them to have even a slim chance of winning!

Without any certainty, Tong Wudi decided to continue leveling up, trying his best to avoid direct conflict.

He didn’t want to be defeated a second time!

The next time they met, he had to win!

Suddenly, a notification chime echoed in his head:

【Congratulations! The most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm has successfully killed Luo Wuchou, the scum!】

In the top lane, a corpse lay in a pool of blood, while a busty fox girl stood nearby, hands on her hips.

Her face was filled with a mocking grin.

“Huh, with such trash, you thought you could fight me!”

Luo Qingwu scoffed.

Just moments ago, Bao Nishuang couldn’t take it anymore and bravely challenged her to a duel, but Luo Qingwu’s power was superior. Before she could retreat to the tower, her life was already lost.

Hearing the canyon notification, Luo Qingwu felt something was off.

“Master, are you okay?” Tang Yaoyao asked tentatively.

She knew that Bao Nishuang’s nickname was an insult aimed at Luo Qingwu; she had seen it at the start but didn’t mention it, fearing it would embarrass her master.

Now that the canyon notification had sounded, everyone was aware, and out of concern, Tang Yaoyao inquired.

However, Luo Qingwu showed a puzzled expression, “I’m perfectly fine! Didn’t you know I just killed that trash?”

“But her name…”

“Oh, you mean that? She was insulting Luo Wuchou, it has nothing to do with me, Luo Qingwu!” Luo Qingwu said, deadpan.

“That makes sense.”

Tang Yaoyao chuckled awkwardly.

It seemed she had underestimated her master’s thick skin.

“Ahhhhhh~”

At the altar, Bao Nishuang, in the revival phase, was going berserk with rage.

She could accept being killed by an enemy, but what she couldn’t tolerate was dying at the hands of Luo Qingwu’s supporter!

It felt like her dignity had been trampled on a second time!

“Stop screeching; I’m going to kill her on my way!” Tong Wudi set his sights on the top lane, moving swiftly through the jungle.

To quickly level up, it was not just about farming minions; defeating enemies also contributed significantly.

“Thanks for the help, fellow Daoist!”

Bao Nishuang was elated.

If it weren’t for the circumstances, she really wanted to give Tong Wudi a treat in return.

After all, she could genuinely make him feel ‘Nishuang’!

At this moment.

Luo Qingwu, carrying a wave of minions, destroyed the enemy’s first Defense Tower in the top lane and was about to push straight for the second one.

Suddenly.

A powerful aura spread like a tidal wave.

Luo Qingwu felt goosebumps rising on her skin, and chills ran down her spine.

Turning around, she discovered Tong Wudi had appeared behind her, radiating an overwhelming kingly presence.

Just at first glance, Luo Qingwu knew he was not someone she could mess with!

Despite not being able to win a fight, she could still make some snarky remarks, right?

“Wow, the Great Emperor of Defeat has come to kill me personally—what an honor!” Luo Qingwu said sarcastically.

“Great Emperor of Defeat?”

Hearing that name, Tong Wudi’s forehead bulged with veins as he angrily scolded, “Are you blind? I am the Invincible Emperor!”

“You were invincible before, but now you’ve got to call yourself the Great Emperor of Defeat since you lost to my teammate.”

Luo Qingwu continued with her taunts, “What’s wrong? Don’t like your new name? Just listen to it a bit more: Great Emperor of Defeat, Great Emperor of Defeat, Great Emperor of Defeat…”

Hearing this, Tong Wudi was so furious that smoke seemed to be coming out of his ears, raging:

“Demon girl, shut up!!!”

Boom! With a powerful Dragon Grab, he struck down, turning Luo Qingwu into dust.

【Congratulations! The Invincible Emperor has successfully killed the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm!】

Hearing this notification, Tong Wudi inexplicably felt even more furious.

The most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm?

Pfft!

What a shameless thing to say!

“Great Emperor of Defeat…” Remembering that title made Tong Wudi grit his teeth, feeling a profound sense of humiliation.

Why should he be called the Great Emperor of Defeat? Isn’t the title ‘Slight Defeat Emperor’ better?

At least it sounds more tactful.

“No! I am still the Invincible Emperor! As long as this match isn’t decided, I won’t give myself a prompt conclusion!”

Thinking this, a glimmer of determination shone in Tong Wudi’s eyes, gathering a renewed sense of invincibility.

After being slapped to death, Luo Qingwu returned to the altar of the Fire Clan.

“Hmph, that detestable Great Emperor of Defeat, and he got angry over it.” Luo Qingwu grumbled.

Suddenly, she noticed a Shamate Youth sitting cross-legged nearby, eyes closed and seemingly indifferent to the world.

“Hmm?”

Luo Qingwu exclaimed in surprise, “Ye Daoist, what are you doing? This duel isn’t over yet!”

Ye Junlin sat unmoving, eyes shut, stating blandly, “Can’t you see? I’m chilling at the fountain.”

Luo Qingwu: “???”
