Over the course of a year, Zhu Xiao had been managing the affairs of the Yuelai Inn, but her cultivation had not stopped.
During this time, she felt she was approaching her limit and was about to reach an impasse.
However, the improvement in her combat strength over the past year was something she clearly felt, so she wanted to test her combat abilities to see if a battle could help her break through her bottleneck.
"Real combat?"
"Naturally!"
The end result was the same as the previous real combats; there was no change, Wang Sheng won, and he won easily.
"As expected, you are still stronger!"
Zhu Xiao, however, was not discouraged at all, having lost many times, she was used to it.
Wang Sheng said nothing, but took out a secret book and said, "This is a Spiritual Cultivation Secret Book, tailored to your cultivation path. It should suit you well, and even if it can't help you breakthrough, it can still enhance some of your combat abilities."
