203: Chapter 203, the second one

Lu Qingyun spoke to himself. Qin Cang did not refute him, as if he had already acquiesced.

After all, for him, no matter how valuable the so-called star fragments were, he could never find the correct use for them.

However, the Legacy that Lu Qingyun obtained was a tangible, visible improvement. He naturally understood which was more important.

"The second condition, well, it's very simple..."

The corners of Lu Qingyun's mouth curled into an inexplicable smile, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

His gaze slowly moved away from Qin Cang and swept toward the four Dharma Form Grandmasters nearby, whose faces had turned pale.

Being swept by that gaze, the four felt their hearts sink violently. A chill shot up their spines, and the hair all over their bodies stood on end.

A bad premonition engulfed them completely like a tidal wave.

"You... what do you want to do!"

An elderly Dharma Form Grandmaster in purple robes forced himself to remain calm, pulling out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Young Friend Lu, let's talk things over. Everything is negotiable..."

Before he could finish speaking, hum—the space trembled slightly.

Lu Qingyun raised his hand, and that mountain-like heavy hammer of Cyan Extreme Gold appeared out of thin air. The pitch-black hammer body emitted a cold, dark blue light, and its spikes were menacing. Just by placing it there, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

"Young Friend?" "Negotiable?" Lu Qingyun sneered and lightly flipped his wrist.

BOOM—!!

The giant hammer descended with the force of ten thousand jun, slamming down ferociously!

There were no flashy Spirit Arts, no clash of Divine Intent—just the purest, most domineering brute force crushing everything!

"No—!" The four Dharma Form Grandmasters' expressions changed drastically, and they simultaneously activated the full power of their Dharma Forms.

Layers upon layers of light curtains blocked in front of them, their power surging to the extreme.

But in the face of absolute power disparity, all defenses were like paper.

CRACK—!! The light curtains shattered inch by inch!

The giant hammer's momentum did not decrease, slamming solidly into the chests of the four!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! The four muffled sounds almost merged into one.

The four Dharma Form Grandmasters, who usually sat in command of a region and could make three provinces tremble with a single stomp of their feet, flew backward like four kicked balls!

RUMBLE—!! The four slammed heavily into the rock wall behind them. The hard rock layer instantly cracked and caved in, forming four identical human-shaped pits.

They were neatly embedded in the rock wall, like four reliefs inlaid into it. Their Meridians were shattered, and they didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, with only their last breaths remaining.

They were lined up with Master Ming from before, the scene looking exceptionally neat and... bizarre.

"Cough, cough..." In the pit to the left, Master Ming, who had been barely breathing, was holding a belly full of fire.

Catching a glimpse of four fellow sufferers beside him in the same miserable state as himself, he was stunned at first, then couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, the sharp pain in his chest even easing slightly.

Being beaten alone was a supreme humiliation. But with a whole row of Dharma Form Grandmasters beaten, well... that wasn't just targeting him! It turned out this guy just hammered any Dharma Form Grandmaster he caught; everyone got a share!

Thinking this way, Master Ming's heart instantly balanced out, and he even had the leisure to turn his head and wink at his old friend in the adjacent pit.

The four Dharma Form Grandmasters: "..."

Laugh at what! They were beaten into such a state and still had the face to laugh! The four were both angry and aggrieved, their blood surging in their chests, almost passing out on the spot.

Below, the young Prodigies and Divine Intent experts collectively fell silent, not daring to even breathe loudly. Everyone's faces were pale, their eyes filled with terror.

Those were Dharma Aspect Realm Grandmasters! The pillars of the human martial arts world, each one a stabilizing force protecting a region!

Yet in Lu Qingyun's hands, they were like chicks; he picked them up and hammered them one by one, and they couldn't even withstand half a move.

Brutal! Too brutal!

[Ding! Defeated LV52 Master Ming, Rank experience +18124563, Maximum Health permanently +1032457!]

[Ding! Defeated LV51 Fang Xingzhou, Rank experience +12642189, Maximum Health permanently +987654!]

...

A series of cold System notifications rang in his mind. Adding up the five Dharma Forms, his experience bar grew by a long stretch. However, Lu Qingyun was not very satisfied.

Now that his attribute template had improved again, the experience required for leveling up had also increased.

"It's actually a bit meager." He shook his head and casually put away the giant hammer.

"The second condition can be considered completed, right?" Qin Cang's voice rang out slowly. His expression was calm, as if those hammered into the wall were not his colleagues, but just five insignificant ants.

In his view, Lu Qingyun had simply been wanted for so long and had resentment in his heart; beating a few Dharma Form Grandmasters to vent his anger was perfectly normal. The anger was vented, the grudge was settled, and it was time to talk about serious matters.

"The anger has been vented, you can give me the Legacy now, right?" Qin Cang's gaze fell on Lu Qingyun, carrying a hint of expectation.

However, Lu Qingyun directly shook his head, a look of surprise appearing on his face, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"How could it be just this requirement?"

"We've barely started." He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward two steps.

He raised his eyes to look at Qin Cang, his tone nonchalant, but the words he spoke made everyone in the audience's hearts stop.

"I've been wanted nationwide for so long, and everywhere I go, people are shouting to kill me. This account cannot just be settled like this."

"I can't be bothered to move against the small fry below the Divine Intent, it's beneath me."

"But every single Dharma Aspect Realm expert in the country cannot escape; they all have to come over and take a hammer from me."

Lu Qingyun tapped his shoulder lightly with his fingertips, his smile lazy, but his tone carried an unquestionable dominance:

"You can let them come and line up voluntarily, saving me from having to visit them one by one."

"Of course, you can choose not to agree. Anyway... I can assure you that I will definitely visit them one by one. It's just that when that time comes, the severity of my strikes... might not be certain."

"Whether you come to me voluntarily or I visit you one by one, you choose."

As his voice fell, the whole place fell into dead silence. You could hear a pin drop. The five Dharma Form Grandmasters embedded in the rock wall all widened their eyes, almost failing to catch their breath and passing out on the spot.

All the Dharma Form Grandmasters in the country... all come to get beaten?! Is this kid crazy!

Qin Cang also frowned, his fingertips tightening involuntarily. He lowered his head and glanced at the five half-dead unlucky guys on the rock wall, knowing that this guy's strikes were truly ruthless.

But on second thought, it was just a beating; they would recover after half a year of recuperation. What he would get in return was a complete, orthodox cultivation System, the hope for the future of human martial arts, and a top-tier combat force capable of going head-to-head with a Beast Emperor.

This deal... was a huge profit! Moreover, it was this group of Dharma Form Grandmasters below getting beaten, not him, Qin Cang. Sacrificing a few Juniors to exchange for the hope of human survival was reasonable and logical.

In just a few breaths, Qin Cang had made a decision. He nodded slowly, his voice steady: "Very well."

"I will send a message nationwide, ordering all Dharma Aspect Realm experts to rush to the capital within three days to await disposition."

As soon as these words were spoken, the five Dharma Form Grandmasters on the rock wall all trembled, their eyes filled with joy.

Although under normal circumstances, they should be heartbroken, they didn't know why... they just couldn't suppress the corners of their mouths!

So it wasn't just the five of them getting hammered, but that no Dharma Form Grandmaster in the country could escape?! This was really too... terrible.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyun showed a satisfied smile on his face. "Wouldn't it have been better if you were this straightforward earlier."

He didn't dawdle, tapping his fingertip lightly. A stream of glowing white information shot out like a meteor, precisely sinking into Qin Cang's glabella.

"This is the fifth and sixth stage Cultivation Technique of the Microscopic Grade, corresponding to Divine Intent up to the Peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm. It's enough for you to use."

Qin Cang's whole body jolted, and he closed his eyes to carefully comprehend it. In just a few breaths, his withered body trembled slightly, and an expression of incredible ecstasy erupted in his murky eyes!

Orthodox! Too orthodox! It was more than a hundred times more brilliant than the Cultivation Technique they had been deducing by feeling their way across the river for hundreds of years! Just a rough glance made the Qi and blood in his whole body vibrate!

"This... this..." Qin Cang's voice was trembling. He opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze looking at Lu Qingyun becoming frighteningly scorching, "Then the seventh stage... the Cultivation Technique corresponding to the Sage-Entering Realm..."

Just as he began to ask, Lu Qingyun waved his hand, interrupting him directly. "What's the rush."

"The stuff for the seventh stage, wait until the star stone is delivered to my hands, and all the Dharma Form Grandmasters in the country have finished taking their beatings, then we'll talk."

The youth glanced at him sideways, a half-smile curling the corners of his mouth. The meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer. If the items weren't delivered, wanting the Complete Manual? Forget it.

Qin Cang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He was not annoyed. He did not forcibly demand that Lu Qingyun hand over all the Cultivation Techniques. After all, even for him, re-cultivating the previous stages would require a considerable amount of time.

And just as the matter was settled. The moment the atmosphere in the whole place eased slightly...
