171: Chapter 171 A Single Move to Defeat a Mid-Level Divine Intent! *Stare—*

Stare—

"Hmm?"

Zhou Hu's footsteps paused, and he turned his head sharply to look at the corner.

His gaze met Lu Qingyun's indifferent eyes.

Sensing the aura of merely Divine Intent Level 2 on the other party, Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, his face full of disdain.

"What? Kid, you're not convinced?"

As soon as the words fell.

Boom—!

Lu Qingyun's figure instantly vanished from where he stood!

His eyes were bright, as if he had been waiting for these words for a very, very long time!

Finally... someone had given him a reason to take action!!

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

His figure blurred directly, and his speed surged!

Even Zhou Hu, who was at Divine Intent Level 4, only saw an afterimage before a massive force struck his chest!

Bang!!

A dull, thunderous sound exploded!

Lu Qingyun's fist slammed solidly into Zhou Hu's chest!

Pure physical strength, without any flair!

Zhou Hu didn't even have time to fully condense his Divine Intent defense before he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the protective barrier at the edge of the arena with a loud clatter!

"Pfft—!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

The entire arena was deathly silent!

Everyone was stunned.

What was happening?

Divine Intent Level 1... sent a Divine Intent Level 4 flying with one punch?

Is this physical body a ferocious beast!

Zhou Hu clutched his chest, his face pale, his eyes filled with shock.

He could clearly feel that the physical strength of that punch was even more terrifying than a ferocious beast!

If his Divine Intent hadn't been inclined towards defense and protection, he feared that strike would have had him lying on the floor calling for his mother.

But soon, he suppressed his shock, floated back onto the arena, and stared at Lu Qingyun with a sinister gaze: "So what if your physical body is strong? In the Divine Intent realm, it's never about brute force!"

"Do you think you can be arrogant in front of me just by relying on these crooked ways?"

Everyone knew that the true combat power of Divine Intent Level experts always lay in their Divine Intent and Spirit Arts.

The physical body was nothing but a burden!

The crowd below also nodded one after another.

Indeed.

In the Divine Intent realm, no matter how strong the physical body is, it is limited. What truly determines victory or defeat is the strength of the Divine Intent and Spirit Arts cultivation.

This young man's physical body is terrifying; he must have been a Physical-type Awakened before.

But his realm is only Divine Intent Level 1, after all. If they really competed in Divine Intent strength and Spirit Arts, he certainly wouldn't be Zhou Hu's opponent.

But the next second.

Everyone's expression changed.

Lu Qingyun stood where he was, not moving an inch.

He only raised his eyes.

Hum—!

Jet-black Psychic Power instantly swept out!

Divine Will Storm!

A high-level Spirit Art at the consummate realm, driven by his pure-to-the-extreme Psychic Power, had a terrifyingly shocking power!

Zhou Hu had originally been condensing his Divine Intent to counterattack, but the moment that black storm swept over, his Divine Intent barrier was torn apart instantly, as if it were made of paper!

"No—!"

Zhou Hu's pupils constricted sharply, and he let out a terrified roar.

He could feel his own Divine Intent being frantically shredded!

If it were any later, his Divine Intent would shatter, and he would become a cripple!

"Stop!"

The referee on the side's expression changed drastically, his Peak Divine Will aura erupted, and he slammed a palm towards the black storm!

Bang!

The energy shockwave scattered!

The referee forcibly took the blow, his arm slightly numb, and he looked at Lu Qingyun with eyes full of shock.

If he had been half a second slower, Zhou Hu would have truly been crippled!

Zhou Hu collapsed on the arena, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes unfocused, unable to even stand up.

The entire arena was silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Fighting across levels?

You call this fighting across levels?

A Divine Intent Level 1 instantly defeating a Divine Intent Level 4, this is a cross-level kill!

"This... where on earth did this monster pop out from?"

"Divine Intent Level 1 crushing a mid-stage Divine Intent Level? Did I see that right?"

"Although it's hard to see what kind of Divine Intent that is, the quality... is purer than even an average Peak Divine Will! Moreover, his Divine Will Storm has definitely been cultivated to an extremely profound level!"

Gasps of cold air rose one after another.

Everyone's gaze was locked tightly on Lu Qingyun, frantically inquiring about his identity.

But searching through their minds, no one remembered such a person on the Powerhouse Group registration list.

The referee also frowned, flipping through the registration information in his mind, but simply couldn't find a matching candidate.

Lu Qingyun looked down at the system panel, his lips curling upward uncontrollably.

[Ding! Defeated LV44 Zhou Hu, Level EXP +2725411, Max HP permanently increased...]

"Awesome!"

Lu Qingyun felt secretly delighted.

This is what you call grinding for EXP!

If a few more like Zhou Hu, who had a big mouth but could fight, came along, his level could rise again.

Or...

He raised his eyes and scanned the crowd below, his gaze cold.

He spoke up: "So what if I'm at the initial-stage of Divine Intent? I, today, will stand right here, and I'd like to see who has the ability to chase me off!"

His aura was extremely intense, sweeping across the entire arena!

A crowd of Divine Intent Level experts subconsciously averted their gazes, and even their breathing became lighter.

Just kidding.

This guy is a madman!

He takes action at the slightest disagreement, and his attacks are vicious; who would go up there and look for trouble for no reason?

Even several high-stage Divine Intent experts frowned slightly and restrained their auras.

To be able to fight like this at Divine Intent Level 1, and looking at how young he is, what would happen when he grows up?

There was no need to make an enemy for no reason.

For a time, the entire Powerhouse Group arena became much quieter.

And the next moment.

A hand blocked Lu Qingyun's path.

The Peak Divine Will referee, with a dark face, said: "Is it your turn yet!? Get down here quickly, don't delay me from getting off work!"

"He provoked you first, so I didn't stop you when you took action. But if you linger here, then we're going to have to have a talk."

Lu Qingyun glanced at him, smiled contemptuously, and ignored him.

He only thought about someone coming up quickly to send him a few more waves of EXP.

Unfortunately...

The referee finally couldn't help but take action.

He grabbed Lu Qingyun by the collar, lifted him up like a little chick—while he was standing there motionless, cosplaying the Dragon King—and threw him directly down.

The competition then continued.

Afterward, match after match was fought on the stage, and no one dared to speak arrogantly again.

Everyone acted like good little babies; if they won, they smiled, and if they lost, they cupped their fists; it was absurdly harmonious.

Because below the stage, there was a guy staring at them longingly, wishing he could immediately come up and fight anyone with a loose tongue, keeping his eyes fixed on them; it was truly chilling.

"Boring."

Lu Qingyun pursed his lips, lacking interest.

After all, he couldn't just go up and pick a fight.

There were still old fogies from the Dharma Aspect Realm watching from above; being too flashy could lead to trouble.

Seeing that he really couldn't find an opportunity, he stood up, dusted off his bottom, and walked away in such a swaggering manner under the astonished gazes of everyone.

After discovering this scene, the entire arena fell into deathly silence again.

He left?

He just left like that?

"That's not right... is this guy even here to compete?"

"I felt it was strange just now; he's not on the registration list at all!"

"He didn't report a number either, just came up and started hitting people..."

Everyone looked at each other, the more they thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

Just then, someone in the corner suddenly spoke up hesitantly:

"Divine Intent Level 1... he doesn't look old either, could it be... he came over from the Prodigy Group?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire arena went quiet for three seconds.

Immediately afterward, it exploded!

"Prodigy Group?!"

"Divine Intent under thirty? And he can fight a Divine Intent Level 4 across levels?"

"How is this possible! When did such a monster appear in the Prodigy Group!"

"My god... then is there any suspense about the top spot for this Prodigy Group?"
