443: Dharma Protector

“More importantly, during this past year, I absorbed a large amount of thunder-attributed spiritual energy from the Sea of Cloud Thunder and have gained its recognition.”

“As long as I am in the Sea of Cloud Thunder, I can mobilize all the power of thunder. Below a Saint, no one is my opponent. Of course, you are an exception, since you are a weirdo.”

“And the spiritual talisman I tore was actually a teleportation talisman, which could transport the power of thunder from the Sea of Cloud Thunder to my side.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was shocked again.

“Oh, I understand! You didn't consume your own Dou Qi when you released 'Thunder Prison Art' just now; instead, you directly mobilized the power of thunder from the Sea of Cloud Thunder. Our Yun Li is amazing!”

“However, to transport so much power of thunder, the requirements for making the teleportation talisman must be very high, right?”

Yun Li nodded slightly and said softly, “You are a smart person.”

“There are only three. Making a teleportation talisman that can transport the power of thunder requires many precious Materials. Even with the full power of the Thunder Prison Sect, they only made three for me. I already used one just now, so now there are two left.”

“Damn it! The competition only started five days ago, and I've already used one teleportation talisman. If this continues, it will be impossible to make it to the finals!”

Lu Xingchen stroked her head and said softly, “Don't worry! You just had bad luck, encountering one of the nine prodigies of the central continent right at the start of the competition, and they were even ganging up on you. From now on, let me protect you, and I will definitely get you to the finals.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Li pouted and slapped Lu Xingchen's hand away.

“Why are you touching other people's heads for no reason? I'm not a vase; even without a teleportation talisman, I can still crush a bunch of Prodigies!”

Lu Xingchen clapped his hands awkwardly.

“Alright, I believe you, you have that strength!”

“After more than a year of not seeing each other, your Archery Skill has improved again. You alone suppressed more than a dozen Martial Venerable Experts.”

Yun Li then smiled and said softly, “Of course.”

Immediately, she put away her smile, looked at Lu Xingchen seriously, and said in a deep voice, “Xingchen, I have a serious question for you. How strong are you really now? If I use the teleportation talisman, can I defeat you?”

A hint of seriousness also appeared on Lu Xingchen's face: “I always like to hide my strength and pretend to be weak to ambush others. But in front of Miss Yun Li, I don't need to worry so much. My answer is, no!”

“The power of your attack just now was enough to defeat an expert at the Ten-Star Martial Venerable Realm, but I can block it! I also have my trump cards; going all out, I can block your ultimate move, but I will also be severely injured.”

“As long as you give me a chance to get close, I can easily crush you.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Li pouted.

“I'm not happy.”

“Damn it! I Cultivated so hard for so long just to be able to show off in front of you. But even with cheating, I still can't defeat you.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Give up, Miss Yun Li. In our home, I will always be on top, and you will be on the bottom. (^ people^)”

Upon hearing this, Yun Li blushed again and punched Lu Xingchen.

“You, your head is full of dirty thoughts!”

“I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to absorb the energy of the thunder spirit fruit. You stand by and be my Protector!”

With that, Yun Li spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew towards the peak of the mountain.

Lu Xingchen also followed behind her.

Arriving at the mountain peak, Lu Xingchen finally saw the legendary thunder spirit fruit.

It was a small sapling with a small purple fruit at the top, and lightning flashed on the fruit.

Although its appearance was ordinary, Lu Xingchen could feel powerful spiritual energy from it.

This thunder spirit fruit had the same effect as the ice spirit grass he had obtained before; both could improve a Martial Artist's Aptitude and were rare Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Yun Li plucked the thunder spirit fruit, swallowed it whole, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb its energy.

Lu Xingchen guarded her side, acting as her Protector.

At the same time, at the Plaza of the Human Emperor Hall entrance.

Feng Jie and other experts from the Fenglan Kingdom landed on the stone platform.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Ruiyi and Ning Zhifeng both showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Zhong Ruiyi's small mouth parted slightly, and she said softly, “The competition has only been going on for five days, and one of the nine prodigies of the central continent has already been defeated? And they all returned to the starting point together, which means that person took them all out at once.”

Ning Zhifeng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “It seems that besides the nine prodigies of the central continent, our Human Race still has many powerful experts. This Martial Arts Convention has brought them all out.”

“The popularity ranking doesn't determine everything; the final competition results might surprise us greatly. Damn it, if only I could find him, I would definitely make my son participate! What a precious Opportunity!”

Feng Jie and many experts from the Fenglan Kingdom looked at each other, all seeing horror in each other's eyes.

“Holy crap, this Yun Li is too powerful, isn't she? The power of that attack just now was enough to contend with a Ten-Star Martial Venerable!”

“Exactly, exactly. The Young Lord being able to defeat an Eight-Star Martial Venerable expert from the Consecration Hall with a Five-Star Martial Venerable Realm is already strong enough. This Yun Li is even more outrageous than you. Not one of the Nine Elites, but even better than the Nine Elites!”

“It seems the quality of this Martial Arts Convention is quite high! That Yun Li didn't even make it into the top hundred of the popularity ranking, yet she can unleash such powerful strength, it's simply unheard of.”

“It will probably be quite difficult to break into the top hundred and enter the finals! Among us, only the Young Lord has a bit of hope.”

Feng Jie lightly coughed and said loudly, “Alright, stop boosting others' morale and diminishing our own. Everyone, quickly recover your Dou Qi, and we will re-enter the Liuxing Continent as soon as possible!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned.

A Five-Star Martial Venerable, also Feng Jie's right-hand man, said in a deep voice, “Young Lord, the life-saving spiritual talisman has already been used. If we encounter a strong enemy again, we will pay the price with our lives. Be cautious!”

Feng Jie snorted coldly.

“What else can we do? The Martial Arts Convention has just begun, and there are so many Opportunities inside, yet we haven't gotten our hands on a single one. If we leave dejectedly now, wouldn't we become a laughingstock?”

“Not only do I want to re-enter the Liuxing Continent, but I also want to get revenge on Yun Li! I hope by then her life-saving spiritual talisman has already been used.”

Upon hearing this, the Five-Star Martial Venerable was greatly surprised.

“What? You still want to provoke Yun Li? Her strength is not something you or I can contend with. Perhaps only Luo Chen can deal with her.”

Feng Jie snorted coldly again.

“Hehe! You think too highly of Yun Li. That move of hers must have usage restrictions; it's impossible for her to use it a second time. The Thunder Prison Sect wouldn't Cultivate a monster comparable to Luo Chen.”

“A mere Five-Star Martial Venerable, it's not time for me to be afraid yet!”
