As their fists collided, Both were pushed back an equal distance. Pangu had a couple of burns, but he was relatively fine.
Both of them charged towards each other once again. This time, Pangu covered his fist with Fiend Qi.
In response, Dave did the same, adding the Fiend Qi to his fire Qi. As they collided again, Dave was pushed back a few more steps than Pangu was.
The outcome of the second clash was something they were both surprised at. It was even more surprising when one realized that Pangu wasn't using two affinities.
While he did have another affinity besides Fiend Qi, he was unable to use it in any good capacity at his current strength. That was also why he had omitted it during his fight with the all.
It was known as Sky Qi, but not that much was known about it by anyone besides Pangu. It was one of the rarer Qi's that did not follow a standard scale.
It was most closely related to wind Qi.
Before the cultivation reset, it had allowed him to fly much faster than anyone else and it also displayed a special strength when using his final move, SKY breaker.
Obviously, the sky part was named after his affinity.
When Sky Qi is added into the sky breaker, it ruptures everything near it as if the sky is falling down.
Unfortunately, it was unable to show any of its strength until the core formation realm when Pangu can fly.
Even then, he will have to wait until the nascent soul realm before it is able to be used in the sky breaker attack due to unknown reasons.
As the fight progressed, the playing field eventually evened out. Dave had still been unused to the foundation establishment realms power, but as the fight progressed, he got more used to it.
Before the cultivation reset, he had been the fiendcelestial with the greatest battle experience, which only added to his current combat power.
In the end, they tied again. It would take a while before Pangu could overwhelm Dave due to his battle experience.
Although Pangu walked back to his house disappointed, Dave was actually angry.
Although it had been closer to a casual spar than a full on battle, he should have won with ease.
Dave retreated into his house with humiliation apparent on his face. Luckily, there was nobody else to witness the battle besides Pangu.
As Pangu began to cultivate once again, Zhou Fan took a look at the rest of the galaxy.
Although it somewhat felt like a good amount of time had passed since he started observing Pangu, it had been less than a year.
As far as the galaxy was concerned, that was about equivalent to the time it took to sneeze. In other words, nothing had changed and nothing important happened.
After taking another glance at Pangu, Zhou Fan recalled the rules he had set in place. Due to Pangu's talent exceeding the maximum, his cultivation speed would once again be limited at 1 month per level.
That meant that, from the 1st level to the 2nd level of core formation would take Pangu 1 month. From 2 to 3, 2 months, and so on. Going from the 1st level to the 2nd was actually faster than going from the 5th level of foundation establishment to the 6th.
It was quite weird and unnatural, but cultivation speed was not supposed to be naturally suppressed regardless.
Assuming that Pangu would stop at the 5th level before going out exploring again and adding the time it would take to go from the 10th level of foundation establishment to the 1st level of core formation, Zhou Fan had a year and four months of free time.
That amount of time was not enough to do anything substantially important, so Zhou Fan thought of something unimportant to do. He could just silently watch Pangu, but that would unnecessarily waste time.
Zhou Fan thought of a bunch of things, but he eventually remembered the time when he had sat in the middle of a river on the Plant world. That period of time was pleasant and relaxing.
'I would like to do that again.' Zhou Fan said to himself.
Naturally, the best place to do that would be the elf world. It had the best nature, which included bodies of water.
Zhou Fan casually traveled to the elf world and reached it in around an hour. Since he had free time, he took his time on his journey.
As he reached the elf world, he cut off his senses and randomly let himself fall down. He only reactivated his senses after thirty minutes had passed.
As he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was in a crater. Naturally, it had been caused by his heavy body.
His weight had never stopped increasing as he broke through, and he had to use a fair, yet miniscule amount of Qi to limit it.
Despite limiting his weight, he was still able to create a sizeable crater.
Before doing anything else, Zhou Fan limited his divine sense so that he could enjoy his break time more.
It was limited to ten feet around him. Although the ground technically limited divine sense, Zhou Fans was so powerful that it easily passed through it. Zhou Fan didn't even need to put any sort of effort in.
Zhou Fan eventually got off of his back and walked up the side of the crater. Due to him limiting his weight, it was only ten feet deep and twenty feet wide.
As he exited the crater, he noticed two things. One, he was on elevated ground, most likely a hill of some sort, and two, there was a village not too far from him and there seemed to be a group of people walking towards him.
They had likely been attracted by the sound of his impact with the ground.
"Great. People." He grumbled to himself before walking out of the crater.
The elf group was only a mile or so away, and it seemed they would reach his location in around 15 - 20 minutes.
Although he could have gone somewhere else, Zhou Fan decided to go with the flow for the next year and 4 months.
