"Boom, boom, boom, boom~"
Lu Li swung his iron rod and hit at the boulders by the lake. He gradually increased his strength. Toward the end, he started to use Xuan Energy to increase his strength to more than 100,000 pounds.
He tried for more than 10 times, merely two of which did he smash the boulder open directly because he didn"t rein in his strength. For the other eight times, the boulders trembled and seemed fine at first. After a while, they began to splinter. Then the dust inside were stirred up and danced around in air.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li raised his head and laughed out loud. His voice was so sonorous that he alarmed several Cyan Phoenix Race warriors nearby. Lu Li was soaking wet, his hair covered in dust and his beard untrimmed. He was much like a savage or a homeless man.
"I finally understood it. I did it!"
After two months of trying, he finally stepped into the door of Soul Shattering skill. Lu Li was beaming with delight. He wished that he could use Dragon Roar to vent the depressed feelings from before.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
From the distance came a deep sound of footsteps. A giant walked from the mountains, stepping across a mountain. His bell-like eyes were filled with confusion.
He shouted from the distance, "Saint Lord, have you made another breakthrough? Why else would you be so happy?"
Lu Li looked over and saw it was G.o.d of Meng with Third Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race. Lu Li smiled. After some thoughts, he came to them and said, "G.o.d of Meng, I want to try out a new skill I learned on you to see its power."
G.o.d of Meng stopped on the spot. He was not worried, though. He was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior after all. t.i.tan Race was well-known for their defense. How could Lu Li hurt him?
Seeing Lu Li swinging his iron rod at him, G.o.d of Meng raised his hand casually to defend. Lu Li understood how powerful G.o.d of Meng"s defense was so he used 70 to 80 percent of his strength in this forceful action.
"Bang!"
A m.u.f.fled sound came out. G.o.d of Meng"s arm didn"t tremble a bit. But soon, he began to look awful and his arm started to shake. With a surprised look, he said, "How…"
Third Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race looked at G.o.d of Meng"s arm in surprise but didn"t see any wounds. He asked in confusion, "Lord, what is it?"
The corner of G.o.d of Meng"s mouth twitched. He started at Lu Li in a weird way and said, "Saint Lord"s attack was strange. His strength was pa.s.sed into my arm at my bones directly. If it were not for the fact that I have been refining my bones for so many years, they would have…been broken!"
"Eh?"
Third Patriarch looked at G.o.d of Meng"s arm more carefully but he didn"t even see a scratched skin. Third Patriarch was more stunned. He murmured, "No injury on the outside but one the inside. Is this…attacking across separated places?"
"Not powerful enough!"
Lu Li, on the other hand, was upset. He had used almost all of his strength and yet he could not break G.o.d of Meng"s bones. Even though it was a fact that his bones were strong, Lu Li felt disappointed all the same.
"G.o.d of Meng, can I attack your back and head and see if you will get hurt?"
Lu Li asked with aspiration. G.o.d of Meng thought about it and said, "I am with okay with you attacking my back but not my head. If my soul is hurt, it will be bad."
"Okay!"
Lu Li hopped up. His eyes glared in a sliver light as he released Burning Blood skill, ready to use his utmost strength.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li wielded his iron rod and smashed at G.o.d of Meng"s back forcefully.
"Buzzing~"
G.o.d of Meng was careful. His body glowed in a dark golden color as he used a skill unique to the t.i.tan Race to better his physical defense.
"Bang!"
A sound came out. G.o.d of Meng didn"t tremble a bit but he had an awful look. After a moment, some blood seeped out from his mouth.
"Are you hurt?"
Third Patriarch"s eyes were wide open. G.o.d of Meng, who was at the Human Sovereign Realm, was hurt by Lu Li after G.o.d of Meng used his secret skill to strengthen his defense?
"Pff!"
Spitting the blood in his mouth out and taking a healing pellet, G.o.d of Meng said, "Saint Lord"s skill is incredible. Defense, no matter how strong it is, doesn"t help. The strength was sent in and attacked at my internal organs directly. If I were not so strong, my internal organs would have been shattered."
"Shocking…" Third Patriarch pouted. If he was under Lu Li"s attack, he would have been killed now.
Lu Li became more excited. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "It"s fine. I hadn"t wasted the two months" time in cultivation through day and night."
"Saint Lord!"
G.o.d of Meng thought about it and said, "Your attacks are not powerful enough. Human Sovereign Realm warriors cultivate their internal organs as well and even their bones. Normally, you will not be able to kill a Human Sovereign Realm warriors. What was more…Human Sovereign Realm warriors have Force Fields. You will be killed easily before you can even get close."
"Yes."
Lu Li nodded. He must figure out a way to increase his strength. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to shatter the Soul Pond of a Human Sovereign Realm warrior, he would be killed instantly. As for the n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors, Lu Li could kill them with his current abilities without having to resort to Soul Shattering, a skill he had been cultivation in an attempt to kill Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Lu Li finally had some fundamental learning of the Soul Shattering skill. He was enlightened and inspired by the ripples and waves in the lake.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, strength was sent out through a point. From the point on the iron rod, strength burst forth, which was why in Lu Li"s initial trials, he had blasted the trees and stones in one move.
Inspired by the ripples in the lake, Lu Li had changed his way. He changed the strength into waves and send the strength in.
While concentrated strength could cause large-scale damage at once, waves would not. They travelled into the enemy like radiating ripples. After the strength extended in, Lu Li changed it once again and concentrated it in one point, which would exert influence on enemy"s internal organs or Soul Pond.
"Saint Lord!"
After some thoughts, G.o.d of Meng had some crude thinking. He said, "Your attack surged on like waves but too bad there is only one strand. If you can increase the number of waves and form continuous attacks for dozens of times, my internal organs would blast just now and I would die from that."
"That is a good point. I will go and study that. Thank you for this, G.o.d of Meng."
Being a powerful warrior at the Human Sovereign Realm, G.o.d of Meng could see through the appearance to perceive the essence. His words had been enlightening for Lu Li. But it would take some time. Lu Li could not master it overnight.
"Sure…"
G.o.d of Meng was quite satisfied with Lu Li"s att.i.tude. After some thoughts, G.o.d of Meng proposed again, "Your realm is too low and your attacks are slow. Even if you were to sneak up on Human Sovereign Realm warriors, they would react fast enough the moment they were about to be hit. They could dodge or kill you at once."
"Therefore, while theoretically speaking, your skill can kill a Human Sovereign Realm warrior in sneak attacks, in reality there is a 90% change that you are going to be slayed. If you have time, you should improve your realm or study the skill while you do so."
"That is right!"
Lu Li recalled when he was at the Demon-slaying City, he was right beside Patriarch Yang and was confident that he could kill Patriarch Yang. However, Lu Li ended up being smashed away. At this moment, the reaction of a powerful warrior was not something he could compete.
Lu Li nodded. He noticed Third Patriarch and asked, "Third Patriarch, have you found anything at the Serenity Plains? Are there anything about my sister?"
"Not at the Serenity Plains…"
Third Patriarch shook his head and said, "There is no powerful warrior cultivating Holy Light Profound Meaning at the Serenity Plains and I didn"t hear anything about Lady Lu Ling there. But I did learn—the Great Patriarch of the second largest force at the Clouds Plains, the Drifting Cloud Hall, seems to understand Holy Light Profound Meaning."
