Chapter 44 The Big Dipper Holy Son's Provocation!
Tianlan Domain, inside the Blue Fire Dojo.
Just as Lin Xuan was observing the Rising Dragon Platform, a sudden, immense sound came from one side of the dojo, like a giant rock weighing millions of pounds crashing to the ground.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
At first glance, everyone clearly saw the man. He was clad in black beast armor, his burly figure making him seem as if he had walked out of a wild tribal clan.
A giant hammer, half a meter long, hung from his waist. The iron chain extending from the end of the hammer was coiled around the strong man's right arm. His entire demeanor exuded a wild aura.
The moment this man in beast armor appeared, the pupils of all the Big Dipper Holy Land disciples shrank violently. They subconsciously took a step back.
"It's the Big Dipper Holy Son, Li Yifeng!"
Those who spoke were a few disciples from the Nine Heavens Holy Land who recognized Li Yifeng's appearance.
The disciples from the same Big Dipper Holy Land as Li Yifeng, however, did not dare to utter a word.
Li Yifeng was a baleful star in the Big Dipper Holy Land. Born with a Hegemon Physique, he possessed sixty thousand jin of strength since the Great Completion of Qi Refining, more than twice that of an average Holy Son.
With this talent, he himself had been gifted the Hou Tu Hammer by the Sacred Lord of the Big Dipper Holy Land. It was an eighth-rank magic treasure.
Combined with his own earth-element cultivation technique, its power was extraordinary. No one in the Big Dipper Holy Land dared to provoke him.
Of course, those who did provoke him ended up either with missing limbs or, in more severe cases, crippled.
"It's him, the third place on this Rising Dragon Leaderboard!"
The other disciples, upon learning that this person was Li Yifeng, couldn't help but stand on their tiptoes, wanting to see what the first-place holder from the Big Dipper Holy Land looked like.
Similarly.
Lin Xuan, before the Rising Dragon Stone Tablet, had an observant expression as he looked at Li Yifeng, the very name that made disciples of the Big Dipper Holy Land change color upon hearing it.
Next, Lin Xuan activated the system's inspection function.
Nickname: Li Yifeng
Race: Human Race
Level: Golden Core Realm Third Heaven
Several lines of information appeared before his eyes.
"So you're Lin Xuan, the one who got ten million points. I've been waiting for you for a while!"
Li Yifeng stared at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with fighting intent, and said arrogantly.
"I had heard of Qiu Tu before. With his Corpse King inheritance, he was already in his element on this ancient battlefield. It was within my expectations that he could be ranked above me.
But for an unknown kid like you to actually obtain ten million points has piqued my strong interest. I formally issue a challenge to you. Spar with me and let me see what you've got!"
Li Yifeng stretched his limbs, his eyes full of provocation as he stared at Lin Xuan, completely ready for a fight.
"I don't have time!"
Lin Xuan directly ignored Li Yifeng's challenge and said coldly.
He did not want to provoke a battle maniac. Who knew if this guy would keep challenging him if he couldn't win.
He then walked towards a pavilion outside the dojo, leaving Li Yifeng hanging.
"To be the first in the Nine Heavens Holy Land's trial, yet not even daring to accept a challenge. How laughable!"
Li Yifeng chuckled lightly.
"How dare you speak of Brother Lin Xuan like that!"
Zhao Ling'er, who was following half a step behind Lin Xuan, her beautiful eyes flared with anger as a dense aura of lightning suddenly appeared on her hands.
"Hundred Lightning Strike!"
As soon as Zhao Ling'er made her move, it was a killing blow. Hundreds of lightning snakes, as thick as a baby's arm, locked onto Li Yifeng a dozen steps away and shot towards him, their aura of violent destruction reaching its peak.
When Zhao Ling'er acted, all cultivators within a hundred meters of her were more or less affected. This forced all cultivators within a hundred zhang to hastily raise their spiritual energy shields and retreat beyond that range.
"Earth Dragon Armor!"
Seeing Zhao Ling'er make her move, Li Yifeng was not angry but laughed. After sensing the destructive aura contained within the lightning, he let out a low roar.
At the same time, a very rich, earth-yellow spiritual energy surged from the ground, enveloping his body. It then condensed outside his body into a thick, spiked armor.
Bang, bang, bang...
When the hundred lightning snakes fiercely charged forward, on the sixty-seventh impact, they tore a crack in the Earth Dragon Armor on Li Yifeng's surface. After the crack appeared, the Earth Dragon Armor shattered into small pieces of earthen armor, scattering to the ground.
"So strong!"
Li Yifeng's eyes widened in shock. He watched helplessly as several thick bolts of lightning struck his beast armor. After three lightning strikes, his close-fitting beast armor, like paper, was instantly shattered.
At the same time.
Li Yifeng used his body to withstand the lightning's assault and was directly sent flying, crashing heavily to one side of the Blue Fire Dojo like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing that the remaining twenty-some lightning snakes were about to devour Li Yifeng.
At the critical moment, under Zhao Ling'er's divine sense control, they all brushed past Li Yifeng on the ground and slammed into the stone slabs to the side.
Following dozens of explosive thunderclaps, the floor shattered, kicking up a cloud of dust that engulfed Li Yifeng, hiding him from view.
"Hiss!"
When the many disciples of the two Holy Lands saw Li Yifeng defeated by a single strike from Zhao Ling'er, everyone couldn't help but gasp. When they looked at Zhao Ling'er again, their eyes held a trace of fear.
Li Yifeng was the recognized number one young expert among the Big Dipper Holy Land's candidate saint sons, yet he was unexpectedly taken care of by such a seemingly well-behaved young girl beside Lin Xuan. This was truly an eye-opener for all of them.
At the same time, their reverence for Lin Xuan deepened.
After a long time.
When the settling dust had fallen, Li Yifeng, wearing his shattered beast armor, slowly stood up from the ground. After being struck by lightning, his entire body was numb, and he had been unable to stand up.
"What powerful lightning energy. This young lady must have inherited the legacy of a strong lightning controller!"
Afterward, Li Yifeng's gaze locked onto Zhao Ling'er's graceful figure.
For some reason, a hint of jealousy arose in Li Yifeng's eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan.
In Li Yifeng's eyes, a woman as powerful and beautiful as Zhao Ling'er was his dream woman. But this woman belonged to someone else.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had also walked into the pavilion.
He sat down with a graceful motion, waved his hand, and took out several pots of fine tea from his storage ring, looking as if he were thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I taught him a lesson for you!"
Zhao Ling'er sat down beside Lin Xuan with a smile on her face. After pouring Lin Xuan a cup of tea, she spoke as if seeking praise.
"It's best to provoke a battle maniac like that as little as possible. But it's good that you taught him a lesson. It will shut his mouth, and we can have some peace and quiet!"
Lin Xuan said with relish after taking a sip of the spiritual tea.
Although Li Yifeng, just dozens of steps away, was filled with fighting intent toward the still-unmoved Lin Xuan, whenever he saw Zhao Ling'er, he forcefully suppressed the impulse to charge forward. He walked to a corner of the dojo, very unwillingly, and began to recover from his minor injuries.
The atmosphere also eased up. The disciples of the two Holy Lands began to discuss amongst themselves again. Some started selling the spiritual materials they had obtained on the ancient battlefield, and the lively atmosphere returned.
