Bloodthirsty Awl
On the other side.
Gao Hu slowly opened his eyes, a One Flash of scarlet light disappearing from them.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging, condensed power within his body, and a smile of extreme ecstasy appeared on his face.
[Internal Force Realm... finally reached!]
He could sense that his current strength was several times greater than that of his arrogant older brother, Gao Long!
[Gao Long, do you see that? I am the true genius of the Gao Family!]
Just as he was getting carried away with his triumph, a hoarse and ancient voice resounded directly in his mind.
[Forget about internal energy; in the world you're about to enter, even the so-called martial arts grandmasters are only just beginning.]
"What?!" Gao Hu was shocked upon hearing this, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
[Gao Long went to the Central Continent. Although he didn't have the same opportunities as you, the cultivation techniques and resources there are far superior to those in this desolate land. His current achievements may not be inferior to yours.] The voice continued.
Gao Hu's expression turned somewhat ugly, but it was quickly replaced by a strong sense of pride. "Hmph, so what! With you here, it's only a matter of time before I surpass him!"
[Well said.] The voice on the metal plate seemed to carry a hint of approval. [However, before that, you have a bigger problem to solve.]
[Another fragment holder has arrived.]
"What?!" Gao Hu was shocked by this news once again.
[Actually, I and the other fragments all originated from a spiritual treasure of the ancient evil sect ' Blood Refining Sect,' named -- the Bloodthirsty Awl.]
"Bloodthirsty Awl..." Gao Hu muttered to himself, a tidal wave of emotions surging within him. [Just a fragment has given me such heaven-defying power; how powerful must the complete spiritual treasure be?!]
He suddenly realized an even more terrifying problem and asked nervously, "Then... won't the Blood Refining Sect come knocking on our door? And... what about the holder...?"
[Heh heh heh, congratulations, you've finally learned to be afraid.] The iron-clad voice carried a hint of mockery. [The Blood Refining Sect is one of the seven great evil sects of the Central Continent. Although it and the Silent Annihilation Sect occupy the last two positions, it is still a true super sect. Your so-called martial arts grandmaster, at best, can only be an outer sect steward there.]
Gao Hu was completely stunned. This news overturned all his understanding of the Martial Dao world!
[But you don't need to worry too much.] The iron plate continued, [The world is so big, the Blood Refining Sect could be searching in some corner of the world, they might not find this place. Right now, what you need to worry about most is another holder. He has already come to Great Xia, and he's coming for you... or rather, for me.]
"That... that's it!" Gao Hu's heart sank to the bottom. He knew that if the other party could find this place, their strength was definitely not to be underestimated!
"Don't panic," the iron plate reassured. "The core of the Bloodthirsty Awl is with me. I can interfere with his fragments to some extent. According to my perception, he shouldn't have reached the Grandmaster realm yet. As long as we strike first, kill him, seize his fragments, and complete myself, you'll ascend to the heavens! Then, it will be time for us to go to the Central Continent and stir up the winds of change!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Hu's breathing became rapid, and greed and ambition rekindled in his eyes!
He thought of Dongfang Yueming.
[What a pity, Dongfang Yueming.] He sneered inwardly. [I already know the vastness of this world, while you are still just a frog in a well, content with your current situation. We are no longer from the same world.]
"Are you ready?" The sound of metal plates clanging rang out again.
[The other holder is currently at the Great Xia Martial Arts Academy.]
[Wait a moment, I will unleash my power, and he will surely sense it and come to me of his own accord.]
Gao Hu took a deep breath, suppressing the tension and excitement in his heart, and his Spirit Transformation extremely ferocious.
Let's begin!
