165: Strength is respected

Lu Xingchen spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew in front of Li Hang, then drew his shadow sword.

Just then, Yun Yun rushed over, stood in front of Li Hang, and anxiously said, "Lu Xingchen, show mercy!"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "He tried to kill me, so I will kill him. This is only right."

Yun Yun's voice was tearful: "Li Hang and I grew up together. He took care of me a lot in Cultivation and life, like an older brother. I cannot watch him die in front of me."

"Lu Xingchen, for the sake of our past relationship, please spare him!"

Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then put away his shadow sword.

"Yun Yun, from now on, you and I owe each other nothing!"

With that, he bent down, took the Storage Ring from Li Hang's hand, and walked into the Library Pavilion.

Yun Yun nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you! Lu Xingchen, thank you!"

With that, she picked up Li Hang and fled the scene.

She was afraid that Lu Xingchen might change his mind if he was in a bad mood.

Upon entering the Library Pavilion, Lu Xingchen frowned.

The pavilion was covered in dust, clearly not having been cleaned for many years.

There were many books, but only a few scrolls of Martial Skill.

He spent an hour searching the Library Pavilion and only found one Spirit Formation diagram and one scroll of Martial Skill.

Spirit Guiding Formation: Engrave Spiritual Seal/Mark into a Puppet. When activated, it can gather the Puppet's power and enhance the Realm of a single Puppet.

It can control a maximum of five Puppets, and their highest Realm will not exceed Martial Emperor.

If the initial Puppet Realm is Martial King, the Formation rank is Fifth Grade. If the initial Puppet Realm is Martial Emperor, the Formation rank is Sixth Grade.

Martial Skill: earth rank high grade, Mountain Splitting Seal.

Condensing a Dou Qi Hand Seal can split mountains and peaks.

Although there weren't many items, their quality was excellent!

He happened to have five Puppets at the Martial King Realm, and with the "Spirit Guiding Formation," it was equivalent to having an additional enforcer at the Martial Emperor Realm.

This would be very helpful for his upcoming Immortal Cave trip.

Moreover, it could be continuously upgraded in the future.

As for the Mountain Splitting Seal, it was an even better item.

It was the only earth rank high grade Martial Skill Lu Xingchen possessed, and it could significantly enhance his combat power.

Lu Xingchen opened the Formation diagram and touched it. All the information about the "Spirit Guiding Formation" appeared in his mind.

He immediately summoned five Puppets and arranged the Spiritual Seal/Mark within their bodies.

This process took him half a day.

After completing the arrangement, Lu Xingchen attempted to activate the "Spirit Guiding Formation."

It succeeded on the first try, raising the Puppets' Realm to Two-Star Martial Emperor.

Lu Xingchen then put away the Puppets and continued deeper into the Immortal Cave.

After an hour, Lu Xingchen arrived in front of a majestic and grand tower.

The tower had three levels. The first level had four rooms, the second level had six rooms, and the third level had four rooms.

He guessed that entering different rooms would yield different rewards, and of course, the higher the level, the richer the rewards.

Below the tower, Lu Xingchen saw Yun Li and people from other forces.

Except for Li Hang and Yun Yun, whom he had defeated earlier, everyone else was gathered here.

Seeing Lu Xingchen appear, a look of joy appeared on Miss Yun Li's face, and she smiled, "Lu Xingchen, you're finally here! How was it? After such a long delay, you must have gained something?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I did gain a little, but it's not worth mentioning compared to your background. By the way, Miss Yun Li, why haven't you all gone in yet?"

Yun Li said in a deep voice, "We've tried. Fourteen people must simultaneously walk to the doors of the various rooms and activate the mechanisms with their blood essence for the doors to open. So we've all been waiting for you."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Now that I'm here, let's go in quickly!"

Just then, Wan Chen, the Saint of the Dragon Seeking Gate, said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is here, let's assign the rooms. There are only four rooms on the third level, and we have four factions in total, so one for each faction. As for the remaining rooms, everyone can compete based on their own abilities. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned and loudly said, "I don't think much of it. The Tianyuan Continent has always respected strength. How can we allocate rooms by headcount? I believe I also have the right to claim a room on the third level!"

Hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised.

They had not expected Lu Xingchen's appetite to be so large.

A Seven-Star Martial King actually wanted a room on the third level!

Did he not take the Martial Emperor powerhouses present seriously?

Wan Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, the Tianyuan Continent respects strength. If you want a room on the third level, you must prove your strength. According to my allocation, the rooms on the third level should belong to me, Yun Li, Li De, and Lin Lin."

"If you can defeat one of us four, you can obtain a room on the third level."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze to Lu Xingchen.

"This Lu Xingchen is quite bold, actually wanting a room on the third level. You know, there are five Martial Emperors here. What right does he, a Seven-Star Martial King, have?"

"Just a clown. Maybe he'll scurry away and hide behind Yun Li later. After all, a Martial King fighting a Martial Emperor basically has no chance of winning."

"Greed knows no bounds. Lu Xingchen's excessive ambition will cost him dearly sooner or later."

"If he really dares to challenge those four, I'll take off my head and kick it like a ball!"

Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Lin and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lin Lin, please enlighten me!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire arena became even more tense.

Everyone looked at Lu Xingchen as if he were an idiot.

Lin Lin sneered.

"Lu Xingchen, it seems I've become a soft target in your eyes."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "It's good that you know."

Hearing this, Lin Lin's expression darkened.

"You're really not being modest! In that case, I'll let you experience the power of a Martial Emperor powerhouse!"

Everyone scattered, making space for the two.

Lu Xingchen didn't probe at all and directly used the "Mountain Splitting Seal."

After all, the Realm gap was there. If he didn't use the "Heaven Swallowing Art," although he wasn't afraid of Lin Lin, he couldn't easily defeat him.

Therefore, it was better to decide the outcome in one move.

He would use "Jade Shatter" in conjunction with the "Mountain Splitting Seal" to defeat him in one move.

A brownish-yellow Dou Qi Hand Seal slowly condensed above Lu Xingchen's head.

Feeling the powerful force contained within the Dou Qi Hand Seal, Lin Lin was greatly surprised.

"A High-Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill! So this is your confidence!"

"However, even with Martial Skill, it still depends on the user's ability. Lu Xingchen, you're still a bit lacking."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Celebrate after you defeat me."

Hearing this, Lin Lin stopped talking nonsense and also condensed a greenish-blue Dou Qi Hand Seal.

His Martial Skill was earth rank mid grade, which was somewhat inferior to Lu Xingchen's.

But with the huge Realm chasm, he was confident he could defeat or even kill Lu Xingchen!
