Chapter 907 - 730: The Strongest Shield Scavenger

Everyone’s expressions turned somewhat strange.

The Fearless Lion Seal Lineage is one of the most powerful factions today, known for its extremely tough approach, always favoring those who submit while destroying those who resist; no one dares to provoke them.

Has the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage lost their minds to dare to provoke them like this?

"Pfft..." Yun Jin didn’t hold back and laughed directly, which made her already beautiful face even more radiant.

"Damn it, you’re looking for death!!" Han Ping was so furious that his face turned red, and his nostrils seemed to be puffing out white steam.

As a leading figure of the younger generation in the Fearless Lion Seal Lineage, he is expected to break through to the Third Realm, with limitless prospects and deep background.

Even the Vein Masters of other major lineages have to be courteous when they meet him.

Now being insulted by a disciple from an underestimated declining lineage, how could the proud Han Ping tolerate this?

’Hoo!’

Han Ping acted without hesitation.

His two robust arms swung back and forth with extreme agility, almost turning into phantasmal shadows.

His fingers moved freely, contracting and releasing, forming the complex hand seals belonging to the Lion Seal.

"Ha... hah..."

Meanwhile, a deep roar like a beast in danger came from deep within his chest, carrying a certain rhythm and pace.

His enormous Qi-Blood mixed with Divine Sense soared into the sky, directly forming a gigantic lion over thirty to forty zhang long in the air.

The lion was entirely crimson silver, including its eyes, which appeared as if forged from pure metal, giving an indestructible feeling.

Its hair stood on end towards the sky, and the sharp claws on its front paws were like swords pointing forward, glinting coldly with murderous intent.

"Roar!"

The crimson silver lion stepped on the void and roared towards the sky, bringing about waves of visible white gas.

All nearby buildings and vegetation were completely destroyed, its furious momentum seemed almost capable of shaking the heavens!

The clouds above everyone’s heads became unstable, seemingly affected, and ready to burst open at any moment.

"With such ease causing storms, Han Ping truly deserves to be the strongest disciple of the Lion Seal Lineage, perhaps he is close to the True Martial Perfection!"

"I’ve seen several Vein Masters within the top twenty of the Martial Arts Tournament from previous terms, and their strength is no greater!"

"It’s said Han Ping is not even forty years old, which is quite gifted even in the history of the Lion Seal Lineage.

This so-called Vice Vein Master of the Treasure Vase Seal will likely face terrible trouble..."

Those present were experienced martial artists here for the Martial Arts Tournament, and they could tell with a glance how frightening Han Ping was, doubting Lou Yi’s safety.

"Roar!"

The crimson silver lion stomped on the void, roaring furiously towards where Lou Yi stood.

It was as if a metallic star suddenly descended from beyond the heavens, intending to crush all obstacles ahead with terrible force!

However, a Glazed Treasure Bottle emitting five-colored radiance appeared silently in its path, blocking it firmly.

The crimson silver lion swung its paws forcefully, with its claw tips like divine swords stirring the surrounding void, making it sway like flowing water, a state that could tear at any moment.

’Buzz...’

Just then, continuous and endless rings of five-colored auras spreaded from the Treasure Bottle.

With an awe-inspiring momentum capable of suppressing heaven and earth, it instantly calmed the previously vibrating space.

Five different-colored dazzling auras blocked before the silver lion.

Though seemingly insubstantial, no matter how it attacked, they stood unmoved, stable and solid enough to evoke despair.

If the crimson silver lion was like a star descending from beyond, then the five-colored treasure bottle is an immortal mountain from the Upper Realm, filled with the Power of Laws, unbeatable, firmly restraining the enemy.

"Oh, decent skills after all."

Seeing that he couldn’t overcome the opponent instantly, Han Ping’s angry mind became a little clearer, his pupils contracted sharply.

"The Lion Seal can never break the Treasure Vase Seal. Of course, your strength is quite average." Lou Yi commented dismissively, which made Han Ping’s eyes turn blood red once more.

"I’ll tear you apart!"

Stirred up, Han Ping’s momentum continued to climb, preparing to unleash more fearsome methods to rip apart this pesky opponent.

Suddenly, an icy voice devoid of any emotion echoed from not far away.

"Han Ping, Master is calling you to return immediately."

The voice belongs to a young man with an expressionless face, wearing the same styled martial robe, who abruptly appeared among his original group, ready to take Han Ping away.

"Let me deal with him first!" Han Ping roared.

"Master said for you to return immediately." The expressionless man’s emphasis on ’immediately’ intensified.

"...Alright." Though unwilling, Han Ping remained silent for a moment, but eventually agreed.

"I’ll let you off this time." He shot a cold look at Lou Yi.

"Thank you, orangutan."

"You!" Han Ping raged.

But after glancing at the expressionless man, he forcefully suppressed his anger.

The faint murmuring around him only made him want to cough up blood.

"Isn’t the Fearless Lion Seal claimed to be the foremost in attacking across the world, how come it can’t break through the Perfect Treasure Vase Seal?"

"The Perfect Treasure Vase Seal is reputed to be the best defense in the world and is also one of the five main lineages, not something easy to mess with!"

"Looking at it this way, the Treasure Vase Seal still has the upper hand..."

"What now, you’re not convinced?" On the scene, Lou Yi continued to provoke Han Ping’s emotions, "Then let’s compare again."

Han Ping forcibly suppressed his anger, turned around, and left, no longer wasting words with Lou Yi.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would be infuriated to death by the other party.

"This gorilla is really obedient to his master’s words," Lou Yi remarked.

"This further highlights the fearsome nature of the Lion Seal Vein Master, Wen Ye," Yun Jin said with a worried expression. "Ten years ago, he had already stepped into the True Martial Perfection Realm, with no equals in this realm.

Now, ten years have passed, no one knows what realm he has reached, he might even have one foot into the Third Realm."

The Vein Master of the Lion Seal, named Wen Ye, under a hundred years old, was already standing at the pinnacle of this world.

Since practicing martial arts, he has never been defeated, seen by all martial artists as an insurmountable peak.

Lou Yi didn’t feel much about the prowess of the Vein Master.

He was troubled because after just blocking the attack of the gorilla Han Ping, the surrounding spectators had no interest in fighting him.

This meant that the progress in collecting Martial Seals had fallen behind.

’After the Martial Arts Tournament starts, see if there are any opportunities,’ Lou Yi thought.

Although currently the Thousand Hands Divine Skill could only add two pairs of arms, it is always good to collect more Martial Seals in preparation.

This way, when the Divine Skill improves, his strength will explode exponentially.

After all, he will eventually return to the Vast Sea Realm, facing those formidable enemies, be it the Taiyi Sect, Liangyi Sect, or the Demon Clan, which this continent cannot compare to.

However, there was still one problem: how to improve the Divine Skill?

Apart from the entry-level Thousand Hands Divine Skill, he also possessed the Perfection Level Golden Body Divine Skill, and a Proficient Level Heaven-Shaking Divine Skill.

The Attribute Panel still hadn’t provided the conditions for its enhancement, how much energy is needed, or what kind of key material.

’Perhaps it’s not the right time yet, or the specific triggering conditions have not been encountered?’ Lou Yi thought.

He didn’t dwell on it too much, believing that when the time comes, the Attribute Panel will eventually reveal the conditions for the advancement of the Divine Skill.

The matter of the Martial Soul Book bout thus came to an end.

With the approach of the Martial Arts Tournament, various schools from the True Profound Continent flocked to the Fan Kingdom.

They prepared for the tournament, with various martial arts exchanges, sparring, and validations increasing dramatically, making the city bustling with excitement.

Simultaneously, young talents shone, and the reputation of each sect rose swiftly.

"Su Bai of the White Tiger Seal Lineage has cultivated the Martial Seal to the extent that it affects the void, and his combat power is probably not far behind that of his Vein Master!"

"Yu Yang of the Immortal Crane Seal Lineage successfully challenged several long-renowned figures, and will definitely be a dark horse in this year’s Martial Arts Tournament!"

"A rumored ancient inheritor of the Human King Seal has appeared, said to be on par in practical ability with the Martial Seals of the five main lineages, with even a more ancient origin..."

"The leader of the younger generation of the Lion Seal, Han Ping, claims that he will break into the Supreme True Profound Realm within ten years, and lead our realm to reclaim the Vast Sea, revitalizing martial arts!"

The young elites of each sect strived to showcase their skills before the Martial Arts Tournament, with the obvious aim to reduce the difficulty of the first Defending the Platform Stage.

This stage requires defending the platform for twenty-one rounds or three days without defeat, making it the hardest stage, with even the strongest sects struggling and losing a layer of skin over it.

By gaining fame before the Martial Arts Tournament, challengers would have to think twice before taking them on.

It avoided massive losses in the early stages due to information gaps and early clashes of strong contenders.

Lou Yi also took the opportunity to challenge some unsuspecting sect members who had just arrived, collecting several new Martial Seals.

However, as time went on, his reputation spread, and no one was willing to duel with him, making it impossible to continue picking up easy wins.

He even earned a name that wasn’t very flattering.

"Run, the Scavenger is coming!"

"The Scavenger has a very mischievous streak, using the Martial Soul Book as bait, specifically likes to challenge small sects to undermine their martial artists’ confidence."

"Damn, this guy is really something else!"

Lou Yi earned a new nickname, ’Scavenger.’

When he first heard this nickname, he was so angry that his nose twisted, thinking the name was too low.

He calculated and found that the Lion Seal Lineage had been stirring things up, intentionally smearing his reputation.

Obviously, the other side didn’t understand his purpose, didn’t believe he could learn anything from the Martial Soul Book, yet they didn’t want him to succeed easily, just disgust him.

"Lion Seal, very well, I will settle the score with you sooner or later."

Lou Yi’s eyes were deep, after all, he had joined the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage, and naturally, he had to contribute to his sect.

And the Lion Seal had been targeting him recently, blocking his efforts to acquire Martial Seals to boost his strength...

The saying goes, hindering one’s path is akin to killing one’s parents, he would certainly repay the favor someday.

Time flew by, and after a few more days, the Martial Arts Tournament was finally about to begin.
