Chapter 214 - 212: Update

Even the widely renowned master Meng Konghua showed a hint of shock on his face.

What they didn’t see was a faint layer of golden color appearing on the surface of Lou Yi’s fist.

This is the strongest state of the current Petrification Talent, which is also the fourth state.

The first state of petrification is jade-white, capable of withstanding Profound Iron attacks.

The second state, pale silver, can withstand the attack of Martial Artist’s Sword Qi and Blade Qi.

The third state, pure silver, had no reference, but Lou Yi estimated it could resist pure extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron.

As for the fourth state, even Lou Yi himself didn’t know how strong it was, but it certainly exceeded the limits of the ordinary!

Judging by the current test, blocking the Winged Tiger’s cyan light was no problem, which was within Lou Yi’s expectations.

After all, Meng Konghua’s Body-Breaking True Strength could cancel out the opponent’s cyan light.

And his True Strength was at most one level stronger than a regular Martial Artist’s Sword Qi and Blade Qi.

’Whoosh!’

After blocking the Winged Tiger’s cyan light attack, Lou Yi decisively activated his Swift Talent.

His legs thickened, his waist and back tensed, and twenty spiral muscles sprang from his knees, compressing and releasing, propelling him towards the Winged Tiger like a cannonball.

Meanwhile, the Winged Tiger’s gaze remained dazed, clearly not having recovered from Lou Yi’s unbelievable punch moments before.

’Bang!’

A head as large as a house immediately suffered a brutal punch from Lou Yi.

A dent appeared on its surface, and under the massive force, its muscles and fur began to shiver violently.

"Quick, let’s attack!" Daoist Xuanji exclaimed excitedly.

Numerous Martial Artists leaped off the city wall, charging toward the giant turtles.

With Lou Yi and Meng Konghua entangled with the Winged Tiger, the Martial Artists unleashed their full abilities.

The giant turtles were merely colossal and durable, but their attack power was average and posed little threat to Martial Artists.

And although they retracted their heads, their limbs were still exposed.

"Cloud Flipping Palm!"

Iron Palm Invincible Liu Dalong unleashed his iron fists, emitting a conspicuous red and black glow.

Like a meteor, they fiercely stamped onto the giant turtle’s column-like leg, causing it to roar thunderously.

"Flying Immortal Sword!"

One Sword Immortal Hu Niangzi, with a faint white glow underfoot, tiptoed in the air, her speed continuously escalating.

Finally transforming into a red light, she shot towards another giant turtle’s leg, swiftly slicing around it, and blood splattered like a fountain in all directions.

"Heaven-shaking Hammer!"

Overlord Chu Feng wielded a Golden Melon weighing over a hundred pounds with one hand, descending like a meteor.

Heavily pounding on the giant turtle’s shell top, creating a pit spanning several feet.

Though such an area wasn’t lethal to the giant turtle.

But repeated violent impacts would lead to a qualitative change from quantitative changes.

’Bang! Bang! Bang!’

Chu Feng vented with his hammer, delivering dozens of strikes in a very short time.

The giant turtle cried out continuously, with large amounts of blood seeping from the gap where its head retracted.

Meanwhile, the battle on Lou Yi’s side was even more intense.

Seizing the Winged Tiger’s moment of unending pain, he had already leaped onto its back.

Clinging to its fur, hacking with an axe, generating the metallic clash of ’clang clang clang’, sparks flying everywhere.

The Winged Tiger was furious, being a king among beasts, how could it let itself be ridden?

It flapped its wings to ascend into the sky, performing aerial dives and spins.

But Lou Yi clung to it like glue, utterly unshakeable.

In the end, it could only land on the ground, roaring wildly.

By now, numerous wounds adorned its body, with blood streaming freely.

However, its massive body and remarkable defense made it hard for Lou Yi to inflict lethal damage quickly.

"Hurry, shoot it!" Lou Yi shouted to Meng Konghua.

Meng Konghua shook his head, indicating that his True Strength was depleted, unable to help.

Lou Yi was helpless. Watching the Winged Tiger take flight again to crash land with its back,

he jumped off and began to retreat with Meng Konghua.

By this time, more than ten Martial Artists from Tai City had already successfully slain the two giant turtle beasts.

And they severely injured two more, crippling their legs, rendering them incapable of ramming the city wall again.

With that, the strategic objective was achieved, and everyone returned to the city wall, continuing the tug-of-war with the beast tide.

"Sect Leader Liu’s divine power is astonishing; it truly opened our eyes."

Upon returning to the city wall, Daoist Xuanji couldn’t help but praise.

"Indeed, had I not witnessed it today, I couldn’t have imagined a body’s capability could reach such levels; I’ve been like a frog at the bottom of a well," Iron Palm Invincible Liu Dalong also nodded repeatedly.

Being a Martial Artist focused on physical training, he understood how terrifying Lou Yi’s strength was.

"In a few more years, I fear I won’t be Liu’s brother’s match." Meng Konghua suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

Who is Meng Konghua? For many years, the recognized number one expert in Wangjiang County.

Decades ago, he could defeat powerful Martial Artists from the Central Plains.

If even he said this, wouldn’t that mean Lou Yi is destined to become the new number one in Wangjiang County?

"You seniors are too kind." Lou Yi clasped his fists humbly and said, "I’m just relying on brute strength.

For now, let’s focus on the beast tide; that Beast King is truly difficult."

Hearing Lou Yi’s words, everyone turned their attention back to the Winged Tiger.

Currently, the crisis is not yet over; they couldn’t afford to be distracted.

Fortunately, with the giant turtles that threatened the city’s stability dead or incapacitated,

and with the arrays left by the Immortal Master protecting them, Tai City’s city wall was safe for the time being.

"Kill, slaughter these beasts!"

"Roar... Roar!"

The human warriors and the creatures climbing the city walls began another repetitive and mechanical bloody battle.

And Lou Yi’s energy continuously and steadily increased, soon breaking through the thousand mark again.

As time passed, fifteen hundred, two thousand, twenty-five hundred, three thousand...

A week later, Lou Yi looked at his attribute panel, with the total energy reaching 3852, and his realm became Five Blood Warrior (440/600).

According to the Second Stage Great Success Breathing Technique, with a daily increase of forty proficiency points, he would reach Six Blood in a few days.

However, that day, an unprecedented change occurred in the attribute panel, capturing Lou Yi’s full attention.

At the very top, glaring red words appeared, flashing: Upgrading conditions met, update?

Could the Attribute Panel still be updated?!

Lou Yi felt a flicker in his heart, and without hesitation, replied in his mind:

"Yes."

The next instant, the flashing text turned into a progress bar capable of displaying percentages.

0%...1%...2%...

Minutes later, it passed 80% and above.

By this time it was deep into the night, the beast tide’s assault slowed, and the Beast King retreated deeper inside.

Based on observations from previous days, it should be resting.

Thinking of this, Lou Yi informed City Lord Li and temporarily descended the city wall, swiftly returning to his residence.

Just as he entered the house, the attribute panel update reached 100%.

A blur in his vision, a brand new panel emerged in the air in front of his eyes.
