71: SSS-rank [Star Shattering Ape]

Starfall City, Su Family.

“It seems the Li Family is quite lively!”

Su Yue, the elder of the Su Family, gazed in the direction of the Li Family, blue light emanating from his eyes.

This was a type of Spirit Eye, an ability inherent to his spirit seed.

As a Marquis-ranked expert, his Spirit Eye could penetrate the protective barrier, allowing him to see the scene inside.

The Star Pavilion was composed of powerful families from before the apocalypse; the Federal Army had always looked down on these people.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, these great families rapidly grew stronger relying on the ancient martial arts they possessed.

To solidify their status, they refused to make ancient martial arts public.

Commoners, without Cultivation Techniques, could only struggle in despair.

Fortunately, the Dean of Deep Space Academy emerged.

He opened the “Deep Space Library” to the public, which gave the Human Race its current Cultivation system.

Many Geniuses were born among the commoners because of this, gradually gaining a voice in the Federation.

Many people were dissatisfied with the Star Pavilion.

However, with foreign races eyeing them covetously, the Human Race could not afford internal strife.

They could only endure.

The Li Family, as a member of the Star Pavilion, was not a good thing either.

Over the years, they had done their fair share of bad deeds in Starfall City!

Although Su Yue would not act against the Li Family, he was happy to watch the show.

“Grandpa, can you see who is causing trouble in the Li Family?”

Su Yingxue looked in that direction, her face filled with worry.

She had just received news that Lin Xingyu’s house had been flattened.

This damned guy didn’t even tell her about such a big matter.

Was it that hard to say a few soft words to her?

She wasn't short on money… She had a premonition that the Li Family’s troubles must be related to Lin Xingyu.

“It’s a handsome young man.”

Su Yue clicked his tongue.

This young man was not simple; he was decisive and showed no hesitation.

“Is he in danger?”

Su Yingxue pressed on.

This was the question she cared about.

“No danger, he’s doing very well, playing the Li Family like a fiddle.”

Su Yue laughed heartily; he liked this little guy very much.

This little guy was born for battle.

He wondered if he could get him into the Federal Army?

...Outside Starfall City, in the wilderness.

“If you can’t find him, just wait to commit suicide!”

Li Xuance, the head of the Li Family, hung up the communication, his face gloomy.

He had only just led his team out when bad news came from home: the ancestral hall had been blown up.

This must be the Bai Family’s doing!

These bastards wanted him to retreat to Starfall City and give up the struggle—no way!

According to his subordinates’ report, there was only one opponent.

They were quite useless; they couldn’t even handle one person?

Once he returned, he would certainly make them pay.

“Alright, keep moving forward!”

Li Xuance waved his hand, preparing to lead his subordinates onward.

“Buzz—”

Just then, his wristband rang again.

Li Xuance stopped and looked at his wristband.

It was Wang Meng from the Steel Body Battle Group!

He and Wang Meng had always been at odds; why would Wang Meng suddenly call?

Li Xuance was a little puzzled but still answered the call.

“Old Li, you’re too ungenerous! You’re not informing everyone about the good news at home?”

“We heard your house was setting off fireworks!”

“And you even raised the protective barrier, not letting others see?”

“You’re too low-key; you don’t even mention good news. Are you afraid we can’t afford a gift?”

...As soon as the call connected, Wang Meng’s rough voice came from the other end.

Non-stop.

Li Xuance, his face ashen, hung up the phone.

This guy was here to gloat!

He shouldn’t have answered if he had known!

“What are you standing there for? Didn’t you hear me say forward?”

Li Xuance roared, urging his mount forward.

Subordinates: “...”

Watching Li Xuance ride away, everyone quickly followed.

However, they hadn't gone far when they saw Li Xuance stop in place.

On an open space not far from him, a figure stood.

“Marquis Lie Hu, why have you come?”

Li Xuance quickly composed himself and asked respectfully.

“I heard you guys engaged in a double-cross, wiping out our trading team?”

Marquis Lie Hu was in a very bad mood right now; he needed to vent… On the other side.

In the Inner World.

Lin Xingyu had recovered and was ready to attack again.

“Old Dian, another Curse of Misfortune!”

He shouted to Wang Ledian, who was beside him.

At this moment, Wang Ledian’s spiritual power had recovered, and he was waiting for Li Hongyang to complete his spirit shaping.

“Alright!”

Wang Ledian immediately cast a “Curse of Misfortune” on the Li Family.

A fully loaded version.

Lin Xingyu nodded; it was always right to have a few more of these things.

Immediately after, he flashed and appeared in the outside world.

Continuing the previous battle!

...The Li Family was now in an uproar.

Everyone was mobilized, searching for the cloaked man.

They had searched the entire Li Family but found no trace.

“Did that guy leave?”

“Impossible, we have a protective barrier, he can’t get out!”

“Then it’s strange, why can’t we find him with so many detection skills?”

“I heard the Three-Eyed Clan’s Imperial Son has very strong stealth abilities; do you think it could be him?”

While everyone was speculating, Lin Xingyu suddenly appeared and launched a barrage of attacks at them.

“Holy crap, he’s here!”

“Quick, hide!!!”

“Damn it, you tripped me!”

The scene was chaotic, and Lin Xingyu was happy with it; chaotic opponents were the easiest to fight.

He charged straight through, heading directly for the council hall.

This time, his target was the treasury; he planned to feint at the council hall first to attract the enemy’s attention.

“His target is the council hall, stop him quickly!”

“Hurry, hurry! We can’t let him succeed, or the Family Head will skin us alive!”

Realizing Lin Xingyu’s intention, the Li Family members became anxious.

They all rushed towards the council hall.

This cloaked man was too hateful; he was definitely deliberately disgusting the Li Family.

First the ancestral hall, then the council hall!

Lin Xingyu unleashed a barrage of attacks all the way until his spiritual power was exhausted before returning to the Inner World.

“He’s gone again!”

“I figured it out, he’s using an ‘explosive magazine,’ which requires a lot of spiritual power!”

“He must be hiding somewhere, secretly recovering his spiritual power!”

“We’ll split into two teams: one team will set up defenses around the council hall, and the other will search the vicinity!”

...In the Inner World.

After consuming a large amount of spirit shaping fruit, Li Hongyang finally awakened an Advanced spirit seed.

The spirit seed above his head shone brightly, rapidly transforming into an ape-like phantom.

The phantom rose from the ground, eventually turning into a giant ape covered in crimson-gold scales.

Its body was incredibly massive, comparable to the World Tree.

The giant ape stomped its foot, beat its chest, and let out a long roar towards the sky.

Invisible ripples spread out, sweeping through the entire Inner World.

Immediately after, the giant ape rapidly shrank, floating above Li Hongyang’s head.

Lin Xingyu happened to witness this scene, and the giant ape’s information also appeared.
