92: Sorry, I’m a little stronger [please subscribe]

A powerful shockwave swept out, causing the entire arena to tremble violently.

The arena barrier also glowed, with ripples constantly spreading.

Xu Qiulin's figure was blasted to the edge of the arena, her clothes partially torn, revealing her fair skin.

Her shield Spiritual Artifact was scorched black, her hairpins scattered, and the light in her eyes dimmed by three points.

A single strike of Thunder Gods Wrath had directly inflicted heavy damage.

"Senior Sister Xu!" Below the stage, the Disciples of Yuling Peak showed grave expressions.

Han Li stood still, the shockwave causing him no harm.

The lightning Incarnation vanished, and Han Li's expression was as usual, forming a stark contrast with Xu Qiulin.

"Junior Brother actually Cultivated a Divine Ability?!"

Chen Qi's eyes widened.

The power of that strike just now had already surpassed the scope of martial arts.

It had reached the Divine Ability level!

"This is Junior Brother's trump card!"

Several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were also very surprised.

For martial arts to reach Divine Ability, how strong a Comprehension Ability is needed?

To achieve this at the Vein Opening Realm stage is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

This scene also made other Disciples and Elders look on with interest.

The Disciple ranked eighth was beaten to such a state.

This dark horse is shining brightly!

"Cough, cough...!"

Xu Qiulin staggered to her feet, looking at the blackened Spiritual Artifact shield in her hand, her arm trembling.

That strike just now had already made her feel the dangerous aura of a Xiantian martial artist.

Han Li was only at the Late Stage Vein Opening Realm.

This gap was not insignificant!

Han Li looked at Xu Qiulin but did not press his advantage.

Since she wasn't a Tiandu Peak Disciple, he could spare her life.

If he knocked everyone out, it would inevitably draw hostility from the other peaks.

Martial Dao is not just about Cultivation; it also involves human relations.

"Senior Sister Xu, if you can still fight, you may continue."

Han Li's voice rang out, and Xu Qiulin's face twitched.

Continue... This strike had already heavily injured her, yet Han Li was completely unharmed, his aura robust; the difference was clear at a glance.

"There's no need, I concede." Xu Qiulin shook her head, conceding decisively.

Han Li reined in his aura, nodding slightly: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for the concession."

... The battle ended!

Han Li directly entered the top eight.

Late Stage Vein Opening Realm, entering the top ten!

"To be able to enter the top ten at this stage, could it be another Wu Wuji?!"

The eyes of the Elders and Disciples all fell on Han Li, and a thought emerged in their minds.

Based on Han Li's strength, it seemed he could even advance further without issue.

If so!

The possibility was very high.

Back then, Wu Wuji also swept aside all enemies.

In his first Mountain and River Tournament, he directly claimed the championship.

And this situation had only occurred once.

Today, would it happen a second time?

Damn it, why are all the Prodigies at Yuhua Peak?

The various Peak Lords muttered inwardly.

"What a sin, if I had acted first back then, Han Li should have been from my Pill Refining Peak."

"Stop talking nonsense, who knew he would be so abnormal? He doesn't have a special Physique, so no one could have predicted he could unleash such power."

"I misjudged, I should have snatched him back then..."

The Pill Refining Peak Peak Lord sighed deeply.

"Peak Lord, you said you wanted to snatch Chen Dongfeng back then..." An Elder whispered.

"..."

"Sect Leader, his potential is immense. If he reaches first place, he might be comparable to Wu Wuji in the future." The Grand Elder spoke, looking at Han Li in the distance.

"He is indeed good." The Sect Leader nodded.

"It's a pity the Sect Leader couldn't take him as a Disciple back then; Elder Feng took him away." The Grand Elder sighed.

The Sect Leader: "..."

"They are all Disciples of Qingyuan Sect, there's no difference. Geniuses don't necessarily all have to be under my tutelage." The Sect Leader said faintly.

"Peak Lord Feng has already passed away, Sect Leader, can I take him as my Disciple? Such a great talent, if he isKey Points Cultivated, he will definitely be even better."

The Grand Elder looked at the Sect Leader and said.

"Grand Elder, don't you not take Disciples?"

The Sect Leader glanced at him.

The Grand Elder: "...I see a connection with him, so I want to take one."

"Then you wait until Wu Wuji returns, and you can tell him." The Sect Leader said indifferently.

The Grand Elder: ""(Д*)"

"Sect Leader, you know that Wu Wuji won't be back for a while; this will delay things for a long time." The Grand Elder said.

"I cannot make this decision for you. Yuhua Peak already has few people; if you snatch another one, it will be hard to speak about it later." The Sect Leader said.

"...I, alright." The Grand Elder opened his mouth, but finally nodded helplessly.

---

A round of battles concluded.

The list of the top ten was successfully released.

Han Li's name was ranked eighth.

As a Disciple participating in the Mountain and River Tournament for the first time, he successfully made everyone aware of his name.

Among the top ten, his Late Stage Vein Opening Realm status also drew much attention.

Ranked eighth, he would receive a reward of 100,000Merits and some Spirit Pills.

However, this was far from satisfying his appetite.

He needed a large amount ofMerits.

And the first place reward was a whopping 5,000,000Merits!

Second place only received 1,000,000Merits.

Third place only received 500,000Merits!

The difference was huge, and this was just the difference inMerits rewards; there were other rewards, and the overall difference was exponential.

For his martial arts Cultivation, he needed Comprehension Pills. Although the effect of Comprehension Pills would diminish with continuous use, compared to his own Cultivation, the difference was still immense.

He also needed them very much.

He could not back down from this step.

The bell rang again.

Ten names appeared in the Spirit Mirror.

His opponent was a Disciple ranked fifth.

Han Li glanced at it and stepped onto the stage directly.

Soon, another Disciple also stepped onto the arena.

Their gazes met, and Han Li looked at this Disciple.

Ye Qing, a Disciple of Spirit Sword Peak.

A Disciple of the first peak among the thirty-six peaks.

This lineage was also a frequent visitor to the Mountain and River Rankings.

They primarily Cultivated swordsmanship, basically all Sword Cultivators.

Their strength was formidable.

"Spirit Sword Peak, Ye Qing!"

"Yuhua Peak, Han Li!"

The two spoke simultaneously, a polite introduction.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a sword hum emanated from Ye Qing's body, and a Spiritual Sword appeared behind him, radiating a formidable spiritual might.

This was a High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

"Your strength is very great, but who wins and who loses can only be known by trying. Junior Brother Han, my Great Sun Sword Art is an Earth-Grade martial arts. Today, I ask for your guidance!"

Ye Qing's voice rang out, the Spiritual Sword behind him hummed, and crimson Sword Qi permeated the air.

Han Li's gaze was solemn, he activated the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo within his body, a Dragon roar sounded, and the Overlord Body Golden Body was fully activated.

"Great Sun Overwhelms the Sky!"

Ye Qing said no more, the Spiritual Sword behind him vibrated, and a sword quickly struck out, crimson Sword Qi condensed, as if a great sun swept forth.

"Rumble—!"

Dragon Elephant roared in unison, Han Li raised his hand, infinite power gathered, activating the Dragon Elephant power within his body, and struck out with a punch.

This punch was like a galloping Dragon Elephant roaring at the heavens and earth, essence, Qi, and spirit converged at a single point, colliding instantly.

"Boom—"

The shockwave spread in all directions, shaking the arena barrier.

Striking with absolute power, a head-on collision, infinite Sword Qi diffused, shattered, and a portion of it rushed towards him, but Han Li remained motionless.

Overlord Body Golden Body easily shattered it.

With one Move, he shattered the Great Sun Sword Art. Han Li moved like lightning, thunder light flashing, Thunder Gods Wrath instantly erupted, forming a thunder seal, and blasted out.

"Great Sun Blazing!"

The High Grade Spiritual Sword in Ye Qing's hand hummed, and he struck out with another sword, like a blazing sun reflecting, Sword Qi surging and impacting.

However, it still couldn't block Han Li's thunder seal, shattering in an instant.

Ye Qing's body retreated to the edge of the arena, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"I lost."

Ye Qing suddenly spoke, and Han Li was momentarily stunned.

The lightning on his body disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Ye Qing had only suffered some minor injuries, not severe ones, yet he conceded so easily?

"This was my strongest strike, and Junior Brother Han was able to shatter it. There's no need for me to continue fighting." Ye Qing said.

Listening to these words, Han Li looked at Ye Qing; this demeanor had the air of a gentleman.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't concede so easily.

"Senior Brother Ye, thank you for the concession."

Han Li cupped his hands.

Ye Qing said nothing, turned, and stepped off the arena. Han Li also followed him off the arena.

Another victory, bringing him closer and closer to his goal... A round of battles concluded.

Han Li was ranked fifth.

In the Void Spirit Mirror, four Disciple names appeared. This time, Han Li had a bye.

The four Disciples stepped onto the stage, and the battles instantly began.

Han Li's gaze was fixed on Arena Number One.

One of them was the Disciple ranked first on the Mountain and River Rankings.

He was not from Spirit Sword Peak, but a Disciple of Xuandu Peak.

Among the thirty-six peaks, it was also one of the top ten lineages.

Zhang Yi of Xuandu Peak.

His strength was even comparable to a Xiantian martial artist.

Han Li also felt a certain pressure.

Watching the battle, Han Li was very focused.

The showdown between the first and fourth ranked Disciples.

Although the fourth-ranked Disciple was not as good as Zhang Yi, his strength was equally formidable.

Their exchange was also very exciting... The battle ended, and Zhang Yi's first-place strength was naturally not exaggerated; he easily secured victory.

On the other side, the victor was a Disciple from Tiandu Peak.

It was Yi Xuan, who was previously ranked third.

After the battles, the rankings of the two defeated Disciples didn't change much.

The fourth-ranked remained fourth, only the previous second-ranked became third.

Now, only Han Li, who had a bye, remained.

Ranked fifth.

If he won, he could achieve a higher ranking; if he lost, he would still be fifth.

This meant that to reach the top, Han Li had to fight both of these individuals.

Han Li looked at the Void Spirit Mirror, waiting for the intermittent time.

A moment later, the bell rang.

In the Void Spirit Mirror, Han Li and Yi Xuan's names appeared.

The final battle officially began!

Han Li stepped onto Arena Number One, and Yi Xuan's figure also stepped onto Arena Number One.

Although he had just fought a battle, Yi Xuan's recovery was very fast, quickly regaining his strength with the aid of Spirit Pills.

"I didn't expect you to reach this stage. Several Disciples from my Tiandu Peak have been defeated by you. It seems you are indeed the biggest dark horse of this tournament."

Yi Xuan's voice rang out.

"I imagine you won't be an exception." Han Li said calmly.

"Good strength, and not a small tone. Let's see if you have the ability." Yi Xuan spoke, and the next second, surging True Qi moved, and an aura swept over.

All his True Qi was mobilized, and a visibly condensed palm print instantly rushed towards Han Li.

Looking at the incoming palm print, Han Li instantly activated the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo within his body, surging power gathered, and the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist was instantly unleashed.

The punch collided with the palm print, and a fierce airflow instantly spread.

Ripples vibrated.

Thousands of gazes also turned towards Arena Number One.

Han Li met it with a punch, instantly shattering it.

Lightning burst forth, and a phantom of lightning appeared behind him. Thunder Gods Wrath erupted with full power, lightning crisscrossing, forming a thunder seal that directly struck out.

It locked onto Yi Xuan, leaving him nowhere to hide!

Feeling the aura of the thunder seal, Yi Xuan's face also showed solemnity.

"Heavenly Tablet Hand!"

He struck out with a palm, and majestic True Qi surged, causing the air to explode. It instantly collided with the thunder seal.

A violent aura spread and impacted.

"Swoosh—!"

Han Li instantly activated Divine Travel Eight Desolations, and the strong wind currents whistled, bringing him directly into close combat with Yi Xuan.

An elbow strike directly slammed into his chest.

"Bang—!"

A force of 33,000 jin erupted, directly sending Yi Xuan flying.

He crashed heavily onto the arena's barrier, his clothes tearing apart, and a spiritual light emanated from Yi Xuan's body.

It was a High Grade Spiritual Artifact spiritual armor.

Relying on the spiritual armor, Yi Xuan easily withstood the force of this blow, but his heart was also greatly alarmed.

Even with High Grade spiritual armor on, his blood and Qi still surged and churned. If he hadn't had the spiritual armor, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand Han Li's violent strike.

"Buzz!"

He raised his hand and grasped, and a slender long saber appeared.

It was also a High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

"Sky-Rending Slash!"

Holding the spiritual saber, Ye Qing slashed through the air, unleashing a tangible Saber Qi that tore through the air and swept towards him.

"Clang—!"

The tangible Saber Qi landed on Han Li's body, and a golden light erupted, accompanied by a sound like metal clashing.

The Saber Qi shattered, but Han Li was completely unharmed.

"What!"

Seeing this scene, Yi Xuan's pupils instantly constricted.

A strike from a High Grade Spiritual Artifact couldn't even break his defense?

What kind of body-tempering martial arts was he cultivating?

"Explosive Slash!"

Yi Xuan didn't believe it. The spiritual saber in his hand glowed, and terrifying Saber Qi erupted again, slashing towards Han Li.

The air seemed unable to bear it, leaving a trail.

As the second strike came, Han Li raised his hand, and a phantom of lightning roared, like the roar of a Thunder God.

Lightning converged, forming a thunder seal, which he directly slammed out.

"Boom—!"

The two strikes collided, a supreme clash that unleashed astonishing power. The air currents surged, and the arena's barrier glowed intensely.

It vibrated incessantly, as if it was about to shatter.

"Roar—!"

With a Dragon Elephant roar, Han Li moved like the wind, instantly closing in and punching Yi Xuan in the chest.

Spiritual light burst forth.

Dragon Elephant Divine Fist erupted, pushing his power to new heights.

With one punch, even the High Grade Spiritual Artifact spiritual armor developed a dent.

Yi Xuan's face instantly contorted, and he spat out blood.

"Do you think wearing a turtle shell makes you invincible? It seems everyone from Tiandu Peak is a turtle."

Han Li's voice rang out, but his movements didn't stop in the slightest. Dragon Elephant Divine Fist erupted with full power, Dragon Elephant galloping, and the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo within his body vibrated intensely.

Punch after punch, he gave Yi Xuan no chance to retaliate.

One force can overcome ten techniques!

In the face of an absolute power disparity, any Move seemed pale.

"Damn it, how dare he say such a thing!"

At this moment, the Tiandu Peak Disciples below the stage were all furious, looking at Han Li on the stage with sharp eyes.

"Turtle shell, Junior Brother said it well, hahahahaha..."

Listening to Han Li's words and watching Yi Xuan being violently hammered by Han Li on the stage, several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters instantly felt an incomparable sense of relief.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...The power contained in a single punch would be enough to trouble even an Innate First Realm Martial Artist, and the arena vibrated incessantly.

Blood continuously flowed from the corner of Yi Xuan's mouth, and the spiritual armor on his body completely dimmed.

Even the High Grade spiritual armor had lost its luster from Han Li's power.

"Bastard!"

A furious roar sounded, and Tiandu Peak's Peak Lord instantly stood up.

A terrifying aura permeated the air, and his face was ablaze with anger.

The other Elders and Peak Lords all looked at him, and many Disciples' gazes also turned towards Tiandu Peak's Peak Lord.

"Sit down!"

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and the Sect Leader spoke.

"Sect Leader, Han Li is trying to kill him, I must stop him!" Tiandu Peak's Peak Lord said angrily.

And at this moment, the arena vibrated, and Han Li suddenly stopped.

Yi Xuan, in front of him, had already completely fainted.

Seeing this scene, Tiandu Peak's Peak Lord became even more furious.

"It's normal for injuries to occur in a competition, sit down." The Sect Leader's voice sounded again.

Hearing this, Luo Xuan's face twisted, but he had no choice but to sit down, looking at the unconscious Yi Xuan on the arena, his fists clenched tight.

The battle ended, and Yi Xuan had been beaten unconscious by Han Li.

Without exception, Han Li successfully entered second place.

The entire venue erupted in applause, the only exception being Tiandu Peak.

The Peak Lord's outstanding Disciple had been beaten into a dog's head by Han Li.

"Comfortable."

Baili Changqing's face was beaming with a bright smile, almost blooming with joy.

The other few also smiled very happily.

And this scene made Tiandu Peak even more enraged.

"Peak Lord Luo, it's better to lower your head. Yuhua Peak has few people, but they are not to be trifled with. You see, otherwise, you wouldn't have been beaten so badly." A Peak Lord spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Xuan looked at the speaking Peak Lord, his eyes sharp.

But facing Luo Xuan's gaze, the speaking Peak Lord showed no fear, his expression normal: "Just stating the facts."

"You..."

Luo Xuan clenched his fists, and his aura fluctuated, but with the Sect Leader present, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

"Stop bullshitting!"

Finally, Luo Xuan managed to squeeze out three words, his face grim... After a moment, the bell rang again.

Han Li and Zhang Yi stood up simultaneously.

The final battle of the Mountain and River Tournament.

All eyes in the venue converged on the two of them.

They were the focus of attention.

The two stepped onto the arena simultaneously.

The barrier was activated, enveloping the arena.

"We are all fellow Disciples, but you were a bit too heavy-handed, weren't you?" Zhang Yi looked at Han Li, frowning slightly.

"Are you criticizing me?" Han Li asked.

"Yes, as fellow Disciples, you were so vicious. Shouldn't I speak up?"

Zhang Yi said indifferently.

"What kind of dog are you?" Han Li's voice rang out.

Suddenly, the entire venue was stunned and fell silent.

Zhang Yi looked at Han Li, slightly dazed: "What did you say?"

"I don't need a dog like you to criticize what I do. If you don't like it, then make a Move." Han Li's voice sounded.

Zhang Yi's face instantly became extremely contorted.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"I'm going to make you..."

"Boom—!"

Before he could finish speaking, Han Li directly attacked, throwing a punch that compressed the air, forming an air cannon that blasted over with immense force.

Zhang Yi's face changed dramatically. He ignored everything else, and the True Qi in his body instantly erupted, meeting the attack.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided, instantly stirring up a powerful wave of Qi. Zhang Yi took a step back, while Han Li's figure remained motionless. The next second, he closed in directly.

Zhang Yi's eyes narrowed, and the True Qi in his body converged, directly clashing with Han Li.

"Bang—!"

Upon contact, an overwhelming force surged in, greatly startling Zhang Yi, and his body flew out instantly.

Han Li unleashed all his power, the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo vibrated, a layer of divine light gathered, and he struck out with a punch.

"Roar—!"

A punch shot out, and the divine light transformed into a phantom of a Dragon Elephant, galloping and charging forward.

Zhang Yi had just stopped when he instantly felt a terrifying force. Without time to think, he struck out with a palm print.

The two martial arts collided, but Han Li's martial arts was a Heaven-Grade existence, instantly shattering the fist print, and the remaining power surged forward again.

Zhang Yi had just dispelled this force, but Han Li's figure had already arrived in front of him.

Bang!

A punch exploded his clothes, and a spiritual light emanated from all around Zhang Yi, revealing that he also had a High Grade spiritual armor.

"So you're also a turtle."

Han Li's voice sounded, his mockery reaching its peak.

Zhang Yi's face was extremely ugly, and he roared furiously, a towering red light emanating from his body.

He instantly unleashed aunique skills (unique skill), forcing Han Li back, but the next second, Han Li closed in again.

"Bang—!"

Infinite immense force slammed onto his spiritual armor, and spiritual light flashed.

Even the High Grade spiritual armor dimmed a bit.

Han Li, however, didn't stop in the slightest, unleashing both Ben Lei Fist and Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.

Zhang Yi had to retaliate, but the power gap was immense.

The martial arts fueled by True Qi were completely shattered by Han Li's Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.

Thunder Gods Wrath was immense, and endless electric light and lightning erupted, sweeping across the arena.

Loud tremors came from the arena.

Below the stage, the Disciples watched in stunned silence.

Even the first-ranked person was being suppressed and beaten by Han Li.

Even the former Wu Wuji was never this fierce.

This was more than just a replication; it was truly surpassing the original.

He didn't have a special Physique, but Han Li's Physical Body was in no way inferior. By cultivating Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art and continuously breaking through, he could completely crush any special Physique.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent tremor sounded, and the barrier on the arena instantly collapsed.

The barrier, which could withstand Xiantian martial artists, shattered directly, and powerful waves of Qi impacted all around.

A figure fell and flew out amidst the waves of Qi, crashing heavily onto the ground a hundred zhang away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the aura on his body fluctuated violently.

A pit was even smashed into the ground.

Shattered barrier!

What kind of strength was needed to break it?!

Was this the power that a Vein Opening Realm could unleash?!

The Mountain and River venue was silent.

The lightning disappeared, and on Arena Number One, only Han Li's figure remained.

And Zhang Yi was directly sent flying off the arena, instantly severely injured.

The situation of a shattered barrier had never happened in the Mountain and River Tournament before.

But today, it happened.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were also stunned.

Junior Brother was so fierce, he was practically a monster!

Even the Senior Brother who was once known as the strongest had never broken the arena's barrier.

But today, this scene appeared vividly.

This scene was truly dreamlike to witness.

"Elder, I'm sorry, I used a bit too much strength and couldn't control it, breaking the barrier. This should be fine, right?"

Han Li's voice sounded, and not far away, the faces of the several Elders in charge of the Mountain and River Tournament twitched.

Used a bit too much strength and couldn't control it... These words were incredibly arrogant!

But his strength was undeniable.

Han Li had not only replicated Wu Wuji, he had completely surpassed him.

"Pfft—!"

On the ground, Zhang Yi, who had just staggered to his feet, heard these words and instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fainted.

"Why are you standing there, save him!" Han Li said.

"..."

12,000, seeking support.
