This punch, accompanied by blazing Huoyan and a bird's cry, slammed towards Ling Yi.
"Damn it, is this guy trying to tear the house apart?" Ling Yi cursed under his breath.
Reaching forward, his fist, imbued with purplish-red cesium Profound Qi, met the opponent's fist head-on.
"Bang! Boom!" The immense force caused a shockwave that nearly collapsed the room.
"Mmm!"
The woman grunted and took several steps back, the Huoyan on her body flickering as if they were about to go out at any moment.
" Profound Qi?" After things stabilized, the woman exclaimed in disbelief.
"Damn it, sure enough, the house is destroyed. Are you out of your mind?" Ling Yi looked at the cracks in the wall, the Rift in the floor, the Shattering sofa, and the shattered television, and couldn't help but curse.
"You'd better watch your mouth." The woman was clearly angry after hearing Ling Yi's words.
"You fucking show up at my house out of nowhere, punch me right away, and then tell me to watch my mouth? I should just marry you already!"
With just one punch, Ling Yi's house was destroyed. How could Ling Yi not be angry?
He finally managed to redecorate the house in the afternoon.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have bothered with any of the planning!
The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, a modified version, with Profound Qi field—take control!
Instantly, the force field of the crimson cesium enveloped the woman.
"Stop! I'm not the enemy."
"You're hitting me even though you're not an enemy? So what if you're Martial Venerable? Get down!"
An immense pressure acted directly on the woman, causing her to groan, her body going limp, and she almost collapsed to her knees.
This enraged the woman, and the Huoyan on her body reignited, burning even more fiercely than before.
Behind the woman, the shape of a Huoyan rose up, resembling the Vermilion Bird.
"Send it to me!"
A terrifying, twisting force acted on the woman; the sudden shift in the force field caught her off guard.
The Vermilion Bird and Huoyan Bird behind them were also twisted into a pretzel shape under this distorted force field.
The woman, however, was sent flying backwards in a spinning motion.
But as the person was in mid-air, the force field changed again, and the body that had just flown out was pulled back.
To be honest, Ling Yi's cultivation level is only at the Sixth Tier Martial Venerable Realm, while his opponent is Seventh Pin Martial King.
Because Ling Yi is Limit Martial Venerable, their Power of Qi and Blood are roughly the same.
Logically speaking, even if the opponent was inferior, they shouldn't be in such a sorry state, but Ling Yi used Profound Qi.
Profound Qi is a higher level of Power of Qi and Blood, and it naturally suppresses the Power of Qi and Blood.
Furthermore, Ling Yi is currently using a modified version of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, which is why this Seventh Pin cultivator had no hope of winning and was completely crushed.
The woman is now feeling depressed, frustrated, and even ashamed.
She was being dragged around by the Profound Qi force field, like a tattered sack, completely powerless to resist.
But during this process, she could also sense that although this kid possessed Profound Qi, he was not Mystic Pin Martial Practitioner.
At least, his Profound Qi did not reach the strength of Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner. No, it wasn't just that he didn't reach it, but that he was far from it.
This seemed utterly unbelievable to her.
Just then, the force field reversed again, as if Gravity had been altered, and the unsuspecting woman was thrown to the ground in an extremely undignified position.
" Ling Yi!" the woman roared.
"What's all the fuss about? You got a problem with that? I'm telling you, I can make you stay in that position all day."
"I am Tang Rou's second aunt."
"Oh, so what? My house is ruined now."
"I deserve it. I'll compensate you with a villa."
"You should have said so earlier!" Ling Yi instantly withdrew the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth force field.
A moment later, the two sat on the sofa, separated by the coffee table.
The woman stared in disbelief at the walls and floor, now restored to their original state.
How did you do that?
Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?
"My name is Song Yun, a second-generation member of a collateral branch of the Tang Family. I am Tang Rou's second aunt. Because Tang Rou signed up for the Tang Family's Vermilion Bird Trial, I am Tang Rou's monitor and Dao Practitioner."
" Seventh Pin Martial King, it should be easy for you to avenge Tang Rou, right?" Ling Yi asked.
" The Tang Family has its Tang Family rules!"
"What rule? If you don't enter the core, you're left to fend for yourself?"
"Right!"
A flash of disgust crossed Ling Yi's eyes. This was the Tang Family of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital, a top-tier family?
"They really do have no humanity whatsoever!"
"Large families only care about interests, not kinship, let alone human warmth. Family resources are limited, and if someone has no value for development, they are left to fend for themselves."
After a pause, Song Yun continued, "Actually, during this past year, the person I truly protected wasn't Tang Rou, but you."
"Why?" Now it was Ling Yi's turn to be puzzled.
" Tang Rou didn't want to hurt innocent people. You were implicated because of the Bai Clan Mountain incident, so Tang Rou traded a year's advance to the trial for a condition."
"You want me to protect you?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, I'll protect you for a year."
This girl is actually quite nice!
"I just didn't expect you to grow so quickly, reaching such a level from the Martial Practitioner Realm in just over a month."
"The technique you just used, was it the Sage Master's technique?"
" Sage Master? Uh, yes!" Ling Yi almost didn't realize that the Sage Master was referring to himself.
He posted martial arts instruction videos under the pseudonym "Sage Master" at the Martial Practitioner Home.
"Was that force field just now... Heaven Pin martial art, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"
"Right!"
"Is Profound Qi Divine Pin Qi Refining Art?"
Ling Yi nodded again.
Song Yun gasped, " Divine Pin cultivation technique that directly cultivates profound Profound Qi! This is simply unbelievable! I wonder who that Sage Master is, and what level he has reached?"
"He's probably at least Mystic Pin Martial Practitioner."
The Sage Master sits right before you.
"What will happen if Tang Rou gives up the trial?" Ling Yi asked at this moment.
"It's just a failure in the trial, nothing serious. It just means you've lost the chance to enter the Tang Family's core."
"However, Tang Rou probably doesn't need this anymore. She has already reached the Sixth Pin Nian Master, and is even at the Limit Nian Master, with strength comparable to a typical Seventh Pin or even Eighth Pin Martial Practitioner."
"Will the Jin Family main branch intervene when Tang Rou goes to seek revenge?" Ling Yi asked again.
Song Yun shook her head. "Perhaps yes, perhaps no, it depends on whether the Jin Family's collateral branch in Qilin City is valued."
"So, what brings you here tonight?"
"Curious!"
"Curious? Are you sure you don't want to know my secrets?"
I can't beat you!
So, you still want it? What a bad woman.
"And now?"
"I'll join the Reincarnation Palace first."
"You should know the requirements for joining the Reincarnation Palace, right?"
"I know, the Life and Death Talisman."
Damn, this woman really has been following me the whole time. Does that mean she knows all my secrets?
"Then why didn't you make a move in the first place? You should know that just half a month ago, I was only at the Fourth Pin or Fifth Pin."
If Song Yun had made her move half a month ago, launching a Sneak Attack, I'm afraid I'd be strong enough to withstand it.
Even if they don't die, they'll be severely injured.
"At that time, Tang Rou was still undergoing trials, and I was on a mission. I could only protect you, not harm you. Now that Tang Rou has voluntarily given up the trials, my mission has automatically become invalid."
"You're quite principled?"
The next moment, Ling Yi directly cast a Life and Death Talisman, which landed in Song Yun's Dantian.
Ling Yi's sudden move left Song Yun speechless; this man was truly too cunning.
"The four major families are probably not as simple as they seem, are they?" Ling Yi asked.
"All four major families Martial Practitioner at the Half-Step Mystic First Pin."
"Only Half-Step Mystic First Pin?" Ling Yi was speechless. What was so impressive about that?
"Don't underestimate Half-Step Mystic First Pin. Half-Step Mystic First Pin already possesses profound Profound Qi within their body and can Instant Kill Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner."
That's quite impressive; at least Ling Yi can't instantly Instant Kill a Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner right now.
Although he possessed Profound Qi within his body, the amount was ultimately too small.
It takes at least 100,000 units of Profound Qi to Instant Kill a Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner.
Martial Practitioner's Qi and Blood can differ by a factor of ten by a single major realm. Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner possesses billions of Qi and Blood, which is no joke.
However, we are not afraid of the Martial God now. If we can't beat him, we can always run away.
Watch my Instant Transmission; who can catch me?
"All four families have Half-Step Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner?"
"Right!"
What about the capital city?
"The capital city... I don't know. It's said there are genuine Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner there, but nobody knows for sure. However, I suspect there are most likely, and probably more than one."
"Otherwise, given the four families' wolfish ambitions, they would have already taken over the capital, instead of besieging it without attacking as they are now."
Do other countries have any Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner or those at the Half-Step Mystic First Pin?
Song Yun shook her head. "No."
No?
"The reason why the Ancient Country has Half-Step Mystic First Pin is because of the Daoist School tradition left over from the ancient times of the Ancient Country, more than 10,000 years ago."
Good heavens, I've become a person from ancient times.
Ling Yi is a time traveler who traveled from 2024, but the current year is 11024 in the new calendar. He is a person from nine thousand years ago, which is the ancient era.
Of course, Ling Yi was well aware that this world was not the same as the original world.
And the Ancestral Star of this world has an area ten thousand times that of Blue Star.
"Whether it's the four major families or the forces in the capital, they all use semi- Divine Pin cultivation techniques derived from Daoist School traditions. Although the speed is relatively slow, they can indeed condense Profound Qi."
"Other countries don't have the Daoist School tradition."
Ling Yi nodded. "Old Tie, no problem."
But then he asked, "Since our Ancient Country Half-Step Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner, or even Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner, why have we consistently failed in the Four-Star Battlefield?"
According to the memories Ling Yi obtained from the original owner, the Four-Star Battlefield has never seen Half-Step Mystic First Pin Martial Practitioner; the strongest among them is only Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner.
"We can't reveal that someone on our Ancestral Star can cultivate Profound Qi!" Song Yun shook her head.
"Worried about the Divine Domain, the God Race?"
Song Yun gave Ling Yi an approving look. As expected of someone who could Spirit Refining technique and even develop Profound Qi, he truly saw things very clearly.
"Yes, the Divine Domain. The God Race does not allow anyone to cultivate Profound Qi within the Four-Star Land."
"From this perspective, the God Race of those Divine Domain aren't that strong after all. If they were truly strong, they wouldn't be afraid of Mystic Pin Martial Practitioner appearing in Four-Star Land."
"That means Mystic Pin Martial Practitioner possesses power that threatens the God Race."
Song Yun nodded. "That makes sense."
"One more thing, the reason why Ancestral Star keeps losing is that they are voluntarily admitting defeat, not because they are incapable of winning."
"Is that so? Why?"
