I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1869: Massive Self-Doubt

"Is this for real… Sect Leader An Lin only used one punch?"

"But… the Battling Buddha is the second most powerful being in the Buddhist Kingdom and a candidate to become a Heaven Crushing Sect heavenly disciple… How could he be unable to even take a single punch from our sect leader?"

The disciples knew that their sect leader was badass, but they didn't think that he would be badass enough to vanquish such a powerful enemy with one punch!

Weren't they supposed to have an epic, evenly-matched battle?

How had this battle been decided by a single punch?

Was the monkey too weak?

No…

The monkey's Myriad World Strike was extremely sensational.

This was not the monkey's fault.

It was their sect leader's fault for being too badass!

All of the disciples were astonished once again.

They were extremely embarrassed to find just how little they knew about their sect leader.

"God An, I'm so sorry! I'm just a f*cking idiot!" As An Lin's number one retarded superfan, Yao Mingxi was already shedding tears of remorse.

"Waah… Big Brother, I was wrong as well…" Yao Xiu was also sobbing, "To think that I thought God An would require more than ten punches to bring down the Battling Buddha. How could I underestimate our idol so much? I have sinned!"

All of the disciples were either astonished or in remorse.

Xu Xiaolan, Little Huang, Long Aotian, Bai Ling, and all of the higher-ups were also given a massive fright. They knew what this punch from An Lin entailed. He had clearly evolved during the short few days he had been away!

"Just what did An Lin experience in the West Sea?" Bai Ling murmured.

"Keeping up with him is proving to be an extremely difficult task…" Xu Xiaolan wore a vibrant smile. "I have to strive harder as well!"

At this moment, An Lin had already rushed over to the Battling Buddha before feeding him a regenerative immortal pill.

"I'm so sorry… I didn't think that this would happen! I'm having a bit of trouble gauging my own strength at the moment, I'm extremely sorry…" An Lin apologized over and over again with a guilt-ridden expression.

The Battling Buddha had already reverted back to his original size, but he was still missing an arm as well as half of his chest, and he was coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

He looked up at An Lin with a dazed expression. "Am… am I really that weak? I can't even take a single punch from you…"

"No, you're not weak; I'm just too strong," An Lin offered words of consolation.

Tears welled up in the Battling Buddha's eyes as he listened to An Lin's comforting words. "I'm so stupid, I really am…"

He should have never challenged An Lin from the beginning!

The last time they had fought side by side in the Divine Mirror World, An Lin's combat prowess was clearly comparable to his.

Even if he was slightly inferior to An Lin, this should have been a thrilling and satisfying battle.

However, they had only been apart for less than a year, so how was An Lin so much more powerful than him already?

He was trying to gain inspiration through this battle, not to completely crush his self-esteem!

The Battling Buddha was still wallowing in severe self-doubt.

The more An Lin tried to comfort him, the more emotionally unstable he became. In the end, Bai Ling had to step in in order to make the Battling Buddha recover some emotional stability.

Bai Ling transported the Battling Buddha to the healing formation to receive treatment.

After this battle, An Lin had a better gauge over his own combat prowess.

His regulation combat prowess had already transcended beyond the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage.

If he really had to compare himself to someone, he felt like his power was roughly equivalent to that of the Half-Step God of Creation Stage Ancient Fiendcelestial…

As for how powerful he would be after unleashing his trump cards and activating his Five Elemental Body, he didn't even dare to think about that.

An Lin's battle against the Battling Buddha created a massive stir throughout the Four Nine Immortal Sect, and he unintentionally gained some more retarded superfans. Countless disciples revered and worshipped him like a god.

However, this was actually not what An Lin wanted to see.

If things continued like this, the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect was going to become the headquarters for all of his retarded superfans!

An Lin had no choice but to gather all of the Four Nine Immortal Sect pavilion lords and elders for an important conference. During the conference, he recounted his experiences in the West Sea where he slew two Heavenly Gods, scared away two more, and then enjoyed a significant power boost. His recount was met with more astonishment and reverence.

Of course, he refrained from telling everyone about the Heavenly Sea God. It was not that he didn't trust his friends; he was only afraid that the other paramount Heavenly Gods would discover that something was amiss.

Two hours later.

An Lin made his way out of the conference hall in high spirits after a round of flexing.

He was planning to chill for three more months until the Heavenly Sea God descended upon the Tai Chu Continent.

Xu Xiaolan followed along behind An Lin, and she tugged on An Lin's sleeve with a curious expression. "An Lin, I feel like you've been very tense ever since you came back. You're already this powerful, what could be making you feel so much pressure?"

An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this before a warm smile appeared on his face. "You really do know me well… However… I can't tell you anything for now. The walls may have ears…"

Xu Xiaolan nodded with a serious expression. "I understand. Tell me if you need me to do anything."

An Lin tapped her on the nose with a smile on his face. "Then I want you to cook for me every day. I haven't had your cooking in a long time."

"That's easy! Pick any dish with any ingredients in any style you like! If you can state it, I can cook it!" Xu Xiaolan patted her chest with a proud expression.

The two of them returned to their living quarters together.

That night, An Lin was served with Xu Xiaolan's dinner of love.

The taste… It was the taste of true love!

After enjoying a delicious meal, the two of them went to the summit of the Full Moon Mountain to do some stargazing.

This was a rare quiet period for both of them, and they were making the most of it.

"Look, An Lin, the white moon is growing brighter and brighter while the red moon in the sky is becoming dimmer." Xu Xiaolan pointed up at the two moons in the sky with an elated expression.

The light of the moon shone down on her gorgeous features, making her appear as if she were an exquisitely beautiful holy maiden.

An Lin knew what it meant for one moon to be brighter than the other, and he was also very elated. "Chang'e has secured the upper hand? Wasn't she at a severe disadvantage last time?"

"That was because she is a human, so she was being targeted by the power of the Heavenly Dao… Otherwise, how could she be forced onto the back foot by a newbie?" Xu Xiaolan explained.

An Lin's interest was piqued. "So how did she secure an advantage now?"
