After Su Xiaomo and Li Fei entered Lingyan Pavilion, they respectively obtained the Shadow and Force characters. From their just-displayed soccer performance, one could see the two’s characteristics were one with footwork flexible as shadows, one with leg techniques full of force!
Actually, their merit points had long reached requirements. Although Jun Changxiao only arranged them in now, the rewards before and after upgrading wouldn’t be less, so not only did overall strength skyrocket, they also benefited in realm.
Of course.
Those entering Lingyan Pavilion weren’t only Su Xiaomo and Li Fei. Because while traveling, Jun Changxiao discovered Lu Qianqian had also reached requirements, so he matched her in, sighing: “For my grand disciple to reach full points really wasn’t easy.”
“Buzz!”
The portrait gradually outlined lines. Lu Qianqian in white robes like snow stood before the sect. Surrounding areas were all dilapidated buildings—clearly right when she’d first joined Iron Bones Clanging Sect.
Jun Changxiao felt moved by the scene, recalling the difficult days after becoming sect master back then.
As for the just-formed Su Xiaomo and Li Fei portraits, one was passing the ball, one kicking it—quite fitting with their characteristics.
…
Nine Heavens Secret Realm, Ice Heavy Heaven.
Lu Qianqian sat cross-legged on a snow-covered ice mountain. Her entire person seemed to merge as one with the surrounding bitter cold environment.
Since ascending to the Upper Realm, she’d continuously cultivated hard. Her realm improvement was in no way inferior to Ye Xingchen’s. But because she rarely showed her face in the sect, she seemed to lack presence.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, flowing light emerged on the back of her right hand, gradually outlining an ‘Ice’ character.
Cold in personality and cultivating ice element—this character was quite suitable for her.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Strange memories flooded into consciousness. Layer upon layer of mist-like hazy aura gathered around her body, making her appear even more ice-pure and sacred.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Qianqian opened clear water-like pupils, looking in confusion at the text displayed on the back of her right hand.
At this time, if Ye Xingchen saw it, he’d definitely roar on the spot: “Why are everyone else’s characters on the back of their hands, with only mine imprinted on my forehead!”
Although she couldn’t figure out the situation, Lu Qianqian realized her understanding of ice element had grown stronger—she’d even touched the threshold of Martial Saint Great Perfection.
Thus, Lingyan Pavilion added three more core disciples. The characters imprinted on portraits hanging there were respectively—Steady, Stove, Wisdom, Shield, Attack, Shadow, Force, Ice.
“Only eight so far, still need sixteen more.”
Jun Changxiao traveling on the road clicked on He Wudi’s name again, discovering his merit points had reached requirements, so he unhesitatingly added him in.
He Wudi’s portrait showed him standing at the gate closing the door—quite fitting for a door-closing disciple’s identity.
Jun Changxiao looked at Tian Qi, Song Xuanzhou, Long Ziyang and other core disciples again, discovering they still fell a bit short, so he withdrew the system panel: “Wait a while then arrange them all together.”
The system complained: “Host will probably forget again.”
…
Before Su Xiaomo and Li Fei entered Lingyan Pavilion, they had no way to deal with Sun Mucheng. After becoming Twenty-Four Meritorious Ministers, they directly used powerful strength to score goals crazily. This showed strength improvement was very significant.
The question was—
What about Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji in adversity?
“Boom! Boom!”
In Demon King Cavern’s outermost areas, violent power erupted wildly, waves of aura sweeping forth.
The exhausted He Wudi’s expression gradually became dazed, collapsing internally: “What’s going on!”
Directly ahead, Xiao Zuiji held his shield like a bulldozer, directly sending dozens of attacking Ferocious Beasts flying. Then he raised his right hand. The Shield character imprinted on it flashed brilliantly, instantly enveloping his entire body.
“Crack crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack crack!”
The shield-holding right hand gradually gathered complex patterns, rapidly becoming substantialized and iron-ized.
Torso and legs also successively underwent巨 changes. When the brilliance gradually dissipated, his entire person seemed to transform into a mecha warrior!
“Swoosh!”
Xiao Zuiji pointed two fingers at his brow. His head was instantly enveloped by a mechanical battle helmet. In his field of vision appeared various complex data. Then he lightly raised his hand—a large futuristic high-tech sniper rifle appeared from nothing.
“Damn!”
He Wudi exclaimed: “What the hell!”
Readers present at the scene exclaimed: “Gundam! Iron Man!”
“Boom!”
Xiao Zuiji placed Yunzhou Xianyin before him, the sniper rifle mounted on top. Inside the helmet screen immediately floated densely packed data, dividing into individual crosshairs, locking onto Ferocious Beasts charging through the tunnel one by one.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Transformed into a Gundam warrior, he continuously pulled the trigger. Bullets rapidly shot from the Barrett-like gun barrel, then with space-shaking penetrating force blew off all targets’ heads!
“Splash splash splash!”
Nauseating blood and brains splattered in the tunnel.
Throughout the shooting process, though bullets flew with each shot, Xiao Zuiji standing in place didn’t move an inch. But… visible ripples spread wildly under his feet!
He Wudi completely stared dumbfounded.
This scene like an iron warrior fighting zombies completely exceeded his understanding and cognition.
“Roar! Roar!”
More Ferocious Beasts rushed out from the depths.
Clearly Purple Hall Master’s crotch hole was very large—simply unable to block them all inside.
“Swoosh!”
Xiao Zuiji waved one hand, slinging the high-tech sniper rifle behind him, raised Yunzhou Xianyin, and the mechanized foot soles spewed blue special effects as he charged over!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Ferocious Beasts were sent flying one after another. Because the impact force they bore was too strong, many had skin and flesh burst, internal organs ruptured on the spot from the collision.
“This is definitely not strength Peak Martial Saint should have!” He Wudi exclaimed in shock: “This is probably…”
He stopped thinking, because he simply couldn’t discern how strong Xiao Zuiji enveloped in technological power actually was!
“Move aside.”
Suddenly, a cold arrogant voice came.
Ye Xingchen walked forward step by step. The ‘Attack’ character on his face grew increasingly brilliant.
“…”
He Wudi collapsed: “I’m in the back not blocking anything!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, Ye Xingchen stopped, raised his hand and lightly waved behind him. A heavy war halberd appeared before him, six characters carved on the handle—Divine Modification, Sky-Piercing Halberd.
Good thing Jun Changxiao wasn’t at the scene. Otherwise, he’d definitely widen his eyes: “How does he have divinely modified equipment!”
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Ye Xingchen tilted his head back and roared. The ‘Attack’ character imprinted at his brow instantly released brilliance, enveloping his entire body, rapidly outlining complex patterns around him.
Seeing this, He Wudi collapsed: “Is he transforming too!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, Ye Xingchen walked out wearing a three-pronged purple-gold crown and red brocade hundred-flower war robe. That aura of sweeping away a thousand armies instantly erupted. His entire person seemed to transform into an invincible divine general sweeping all before him!
Having seen Xiao Zuiji transform, He Wudi not only wasn’t surprised but ‘hehe’ dry-laughed, then looked toward you outside the camera: “What have I witnessed!”
Very regrettably.
Chapter comments were closed again—readers had words but couldn’t speak!
“Swoosh!”
Ye Xingchen seemingly transformed into an invincible divine general proudly gripped the Sky-Piercing Halberd, saying coldly: “Trash, all must die!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
Holding the halberd, he departed—full of attack aura!
“Boom!”
Xiao Zuiji sent dozens of Ferocious Beasts flying, then subconsciously moved his body aside, making space for Junior Brother Ye to show off. Then he saw the latter stride greatly forward, the Sky-Piercing Halberd sweeping horizontally over!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wherever it passed, blood and flesh flew wildly!
“…”
He Wudi’s muscles violently twitched.
He similarly couldn’t judge from the powerful aura erupting around Ye Xingchen exactly how strong he was.
Strength didn’t matter. What mattered was—one transformed into an iron warrior, one into an invincible divine general. Their combat power was strong enough to crush continuously emerging Ferocious Beasts!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
One attacking, one defending—Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji staged a shocking slaughter in the tunnel with considerable space.
When Purple Scale Demon King blocked down the deepest Ferocious Beast swarm and rushed to the battle area, seeing one wearing mecha, one wearing war armor standing proudly, feet covered with slain demonic beast corpses, he blurted out: “Who are these two clowns?”
