99: Chapter 99 Martial Saint-Level Protective Jade Talisman

"How is it? Has Han Ming left Modu Martial Arts University during this period?"

In a luxurious study of the Li Family, Li Beixiong looked at the subordinate who came to report, his expression extremely ugly.

Their Li Family had expended vast resources to repair Li Tianci's Dantian, but he had no hope of breaking through to Martial God in this lifetime.

Although for most people, a Martial Saint was already an unreachable existence.

But that was their Li Family's hope! The seed of a future Martial God had been ruined just like that.

And it was his own grandson; how could he not hate this?

"No. I have arranged for people to watch the inside and outside of Modu Martial Arts University. As soon as he comes out, we will receive the news."

"During this time, he rented a high-grade villa in the school and has been hiding inside to Cultivate."

The person cautiously glanced at Li Beixiong and reported respectfully.

"Hmph, I don't believe you can keep hiding in the school forever without coming out to earn points."

"Continue to arrange for people to watch him twenty-four hours a day. Report to me immediately as soon as there is any movement from him."

Li Beixiong snorted coldly upon hearing this, his expression becoming even gloomier.

He wished he could tear Han Ming into ten thousand pieces.

Decades ago, he had trampled Han Tianxiong into the mud; he never expected that decades later, he would be outmaneuvered by his grandson.

He wanted to kill Han Ming not only to avenge his grandson but also because he did not want Han Tianxiong to make a comeback.

This Han Ming being able to defeat his grandson and cripple his Dantian proved that his talent was definitely not simple.

If he were allowed to grow up, he would definitely be a great enemy of the Li Family.

"Yes."

The man respectfully withdrew.

...

"Yongsheng, are there any movements from the Li Family?"

In the Han Family, in a study, Han Tianlin looked at his son, Han Yongsheng, and asked.

He handed over the management of all family intelligence and matters to Han Yongsheng.

"Replying to Father, the Li Family currently has no obvious actions targeting our Han Family. However, Li Beixiong has dispatched many people to watch Han Ming near Modu Martial Arts University, presumably waiting for him to come out to strike."

Han Yongsheng reported the situation he had learned.

"Hmph, wanting to touch someone from our Han Family is truly wishful thinking."

Han Tianlin sneered, then looked at Han Yongsheng and continued, "Besides Han Lie, arrange a few more people to protect him in secret."

"Additionally, this is a defensive jade talisman your grandfather had someone refine; it can block a full-strength strike from a Five-star Martial Saint. Have Qingyue take it and give it to Han Ming."

"With this jade talisman, even if Li Beixiong takes action personally, he won't be able to kill Han Ming in a short time."

As Han Tianlin spoke, he flipped his hand, and a jade talisman the size of two fingers appeared in his palm. It was warm and smooth all over; one could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

"What?"

Han Yongsheng took the jade talisman handed over by his father in shock.

It was actually a Heaven-Grade defensive jade talisman produced by the Tianbao Pavilion?

This was worth over a billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones! He didn't expect the Old Patriarch to bring out such a treasure for Han Ming's safety.

Han Yongsheng received the jade talisman with both hands and said solemnly, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely have Han Qingyue personally deliver it into Han Ming's hands."

Han Tianlin nodded and added another instruction: "Also, pay more attention to the Li Family's movements. Having suffered such a big loss this time, they surely won't let it rest."

"Yes."

Han Yongsheng withdrew from the study and immediately sent a message to Han Qingyue.

Modu Martial Arts University, detached villa area.

Han Ming took out a Grade 6 blood qi pill, about to swallow it to continue Cultivating.

Suddenly, his identity tag vibrated. He frowned, put down the Medicinal Pill, picked up the tag, and saw it was actually his cousin.

"I am outside your villa. I have something to discuss with you."

Han Ming was taken aback. Since meeting her last time, he hadn't seen Han Qingyue again. Why did she suddenly come to find him?

Han Ming put away the Medicinal Pill and got up to walk out of the Cultivation room.

He opened the villa's defensive Formation.

He saw Han Qingyue standing at the door, wearing a light cyan dress, her long hair like a waterfall.

"Cousin? Why are you here?"

Han Ming invited her in and asked curiously.

"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself, living alone in such a large detached villa."

Han Qingyue didn't rush to answer; she looked around at the villa's environment and sighed.

Although she had quite a lot of points, she couldn't bear to spend 10,000 points a month to rent a villa, and there was no need for it.

"Hehe... It's alright. With your strength, Cousin, wouldn't it be easy to rent one?"

Han Ming didn't know what she meant, so he glanced at her and smiled.

Han Qingyue was already a 3-Star Martial Ancestor. Although she hadn't grasped True Intent, her actual combat power was not weak.

Having passed fifty-six levels in the Trial Tower, plus other missions, her points should not be less than three million.

Han Qingyue rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not as extravagant as you. 10,000 points a month is enough for me to Cultivate for more than half a month."

She took a jade talisman from her storage ring and handed it to Han Ming, "Here, my father asked me to give this to you."

"It is said that Great-grandfather spent a great price to have the Tianbao Pavilion refine this Heaven-Grade jade talisman. It can block a full-strength strike from a Five-star Martial Saint."

As Han Qingyue spoke, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.

This was a Heaven-Grade jade talisman!

Not to mention that it could save her life at a critical moment, even if exchanged for resources, it would be enough for her to Cultivate to Martial Venerable.

Han Ming took the jade talisman. It felt warm in his hand, the texture as delicate as mutton-fat jade.

The jade talisman was only the size of two fingers, completely emerald green, with golden Spiritual Qi patterns faintly flowing inside. Each pattern contained unfathomable power.

As a Transmigration traveler, he knew all too well what a Heaven-Grade jade talisman meant.

In the entire Great Xia Alliance, the number of Artifact Refining Grandmasters who could refine Heaven-Grade jade talismans could be counted on one hand. One piece was worth over a billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones and was priceless.

Without some strength and connections, one simply couldn't buy it.

"This is too valuable; you should keep it!"

Han Ming handed the jade talisman back to Han Qingyue and said.

He already had one, refined by Teacher Xue Muhan. Although it was much worse than this one, it could still block a full-strength strike from a One-Star Martial Saint.

Moreover, he had the Cave Heaven World; even if a Peak Martial Saint wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be easy.

Honestly, the Han Family doing this much far exceeded his expectations.

"Keep it. Great-grandfather said that you are the future of the Han Family, and your safety is more important than anything else."

Han Qingyue didn't take it back, her gaze falling on Han Ming's face as she said seriously, a trace of envy flashing in her eyes.

"Alright, then I will accept it. Please thank Great-grandfather, Grandfather, and Uncle for me."

Seeing Han Qingyue's serious expression, Han Ming no longer declined and accepted the jade talisman.

When he becomes strong in the future, he would just help them out.

The two chatted a few more sentences, then Han Qingyue bid farewell and left.

Han Ming returned to the Cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and continued to Cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and the heat surrounding Han Ming at Modu Martial Arts University slowly died down.

After all, in the martial arts world, the strong are respected. They were all here to Cultivate, not to gossip.

Everyone had their own things to do; those who Cultivate, Cultivate, and those who earn points, earn points.

Li Tianci's Dantian had been repaired. Although the injuries on his body hadn't fully healed, he had returned to Modu Martial Arts University.

However, his personality had become much more sinister, as if he had become a different person.

In the villa area, inside the Cultivation room, Han Ming sat cross-legged. Dense Spiritual Qi surged, continuously gathering towards Han Ming.

With the operation of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, the three hundred and sixty-one major acupuncture points all over his body continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the outside world, converting it into his own True Essence, which flowed through the Meridians into the Dantian.

Just then, a System notification sound rang in the mind of Han Ming, who was concentrating on Cultivation.

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Nangong Li has broken through to Five-star Martial Ancestor. Blood qi + 1,000,000 points. Synchronized feedback: Host's blood qi + 1,000,000 points!]

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Ye Yunfeng has broken through to Four-star Martial Ancestor. Blood qi + 1,000,000 points. Synchronized feedback: Host's blood qi + 1,000,000 points!]

"Boom—"

As the System notification fell, two powerful streams of blood qi surged within Han Ming's body.

Instantly, Han Ming's face turned beet red, and the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture began to operate crazily.

Two million points of blood qi power were quickly refined and compressed, transforming into torrents of True Essence that followed the technique's operation and gathered into the Dantian.

"Boom—"

The Bottleneck of the original 8-Star Martial Ancestor Peak shattered upon impact, instantly breaking through to 9-Star Martial Ancestor. His Dantian and Meridians were tempered once again, becoming even broader and tougher.

However, this was not the end.

"Boom—"

Han Ming's body suddenly jolted, and an even more powerful Aura erupted, causing the Formation patterns in the Cultivation room to flicker slightly.

One-Star Martial General, he had finally broken through.
