Dealing with one cultivator was different from dealing with two because the other side would cooperate. Although the other side still looked down on them, this made the cultivators suffer. Because they looked down on Zhao Hai's group, they had to pay a price.
As for Iron Bull and iron snake, they had also slowly accumulated experience through the many battles. Iron bull's realm had already completely stabilized, while iron snake had benefited even more than Iron Bull. This was because he had previously taken medicinal pills. After so many battles, those medicinal pills had slowly dissolved, and the medicinal power had become his strength. Thus, his progress was even faster. Now, he had already reached the middle level of the Qi refining transformation stage level 12 and was moving towards the peak of the level.
