[This guy… is he trying to completely drain Yi Buzui of all his Contribution Points?] Qin Yichen rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt he was getting to know Li Yuanba all over again.

Perhaps from the very beginning, many people had assumed Li Yuanba acted without thinking, that he was nothing but a brute. But now, what Qin Yichen witnessed was the shrewd Yi Buzui being played for an absolute fool by this so-called brute.

*Swish!* Li Yuanba’s Divine Jade swept across the crystal orb once more. The number two hundred appeared within the crystal orb.

“Boy, you’re asking to be tortured!” Seeing this scene, Yi Buzui’s expression changed, a gloomy look surging through his eyes.

“Big Brother, stop dragging your feet. Hurry up!” At that moment, Li Yuanba in the duelling platform was rubbing his fists together eagerly, wearing an expression of barely contained impatience.

Witnessing this display, several Outer Disciples in the surrounding area could not help but silently laugh. Wasn’t this a naked provocation against Yi Buzui? Being challenged so brazenly by a newcomer, the numerous Outer Disciples looking toward Yi Buzui all wore expressions tinged with mockery.

This fellow had frequently relied on his Senior Brother’s reputation to act tyrannically throughout the C and D areas. Who would have expected that today, such a fearless hothead would appear…

In truth, Li Yuanba’s demeanour contained not a trace of pretence, nor any deliberate intention to provoke Yi Buzui. His very nature was to crave battle. Whether in warfare between countries or at the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, he participated purely to seek the thrill of combat.

However, from Yi Buzui’s perspective, this was nothing less than a resounding slap across his own face!

“Good… very good!” Yi Buzui took a deep breath. Yet the volcanic fury within his heart remained utterly impossible to suppress. His gaze bore into Li Yuanba with such ferocity, as though attempting to tear him apart through sheer visual force alone.

“Daring to act so arrogantly before me! It seems you won’t be living well in the Sacred Land from now on!” Yi Buzui’s sinister voice gradually resonated. Immediately after, he also swiped his Divine Jade across the duelling platform’s crystal.

Regarding Yi Buzui’s threatening words, Li Yuanba’s face showed not the slightest trace of apprehension. Instead, he glanced at the crystal stone and couldn’t resist licking his lips. That expression suggested the Contribution Points within already belonged to him.

“Damn it!”

At that moment, Yi Buzui could no longer restrain himself. He stepped onto the platform in a single leap. Simultaneously, Yuan Energy surged violently around his body. Crimson Yuan Energy erupted forth, carrying an astonishing fluctuation as it blasted toward Li Yuanba with lightning speed.

Facing the crimson Yuan Energy that swept forward amidst billowing dust, Li Yuanba’s tiger-like eyes widened. Yet his hands made no defensive movements. He didn’t even show the slightest intention to dodge.

His demeanour appeared as though he simply hadn’t reacted to Yi Buzui’s lightning-fast assault.

“Despicable!” Witnessing this scene, the expressions of several newcomers who had been bullied earlier changed dramatically. Attacking without mercy the moment he stepped onto the platform. Yi Buzui truly possessed no semblance of a Senior’s bearing!

Although Li Yuanba had previously sent him flying from the platform with a single hammer strike, ultimately, no one truly knew the extent of his strength. In everyone’s estimation, the reason Yi Buzui had been knocked back likely had a significant connection to that enormous hammer.

But now, Yi Buzui was attacking in genuine fury. A real strike from a Late Stage Martial Emperor. Even those Late Stage Martial Emperors who had entered the Sacred Land together might not dare to receive it directly!

*Clang!* In an instant, that crimson Yuan Energy slammed into Li Yuanba’s bare chest. However, the expected scene of him being sent flying did not materialise. Instead, a sound like metal striking metal rang out from the duelling platform!

“Big Brother, use a bit more strength. That didn’t even hurt!” While everyone remained puzzled, a voice that seemed somewhat dissatisfied emerged from the dust. Immediately after, a massive hammer swept aside the rolling dust clouds, and Li Yuanba’s towering figure walked out from within.

What left the crowd somewhat horrified was that the skin on his chest, far from being injured, didn’t even bear the slightest trace of having been attacked!

“*Siii…* How is it possible he’s completely unharmed?”

“His physical body is far too formidable, isn’t it?”

“Wait, could he actually be a Humanoid Demonic Beast?”

Looking at the completely undamaged Li Yuanba, gasps of shock immediately erupted outside the duelling platform. Subsequently, murmurs of astonishment quietly arose.

“I could not tell you actually have some ability to back up your arrogance!” Seeing Li Yuanba completely unscathed, a trace of surprise also flashed through Yi Buzui’s eyes.

Although he had previously made excuses about being ambushed, he himself knew clearly that he had been slightly careless just now, then directly sent flying by this brute’s single hammer strike!

Now, witnessing the latter’s extraordinarily formidable Physique, an uneasy emotion began spreading from the depths of his heart.

“Don’t get cocky! I haven’t even gotten serious yet!” Yi Buzui roared angrily, taking a step forward. At this moment, his hair danced without wind. Immediately after, a crimson giant eagle suddenly materialised behind him, and an astonishing Yuan Energy fluctuation swept outward.

The crimson giant eagle’s feathers resembled sheets of burning flame. A scorching aura emanated forth, as though even the very air would be ignited.

Observing the red giant eagle behind Yi Buzui, Qin Yichen’s pupils also contracted slightly.

“That is… the Blazing Eagle Martial Soul?”

“To deal with a newcomer, Yi Buzui actually deployed his Blazing Eagle Martial Soul!”

Outside the duelling platform, the expressions of many Outer Disciples became somewhat grave with the appearance of this Blazing Eagle manifestation.

The Blazing Eagle ranked 120th on the Martial Soul Rankings within the Sacred Lands!

The Martial Soul Rankings constituted an evaluation list of Martial Souls publicly recognised by the Twelve Sacred Lands, possessing absolute authority throughout the Sacred Lands!

Every Martial Soul capable of entering the Martial Soul Rankings invariably possessed exceptionally outstanding qualities. Martial Souls ranked around the 120th position possessed formidable power beyond question!

Powerful Yuan Energy, resembling crimson flames, erupted violently from Yi Buzui’s body. Behind him, that massive crimson giant eagle spread its wings lightly. Instantly, even the air began to combust, and scorching heat permeated the entire duelling platform!

“Being able to make me deploy my Blazing Eagle Martial Soul! Even in defeat, you can take pride in that!” Having summoned his Martial Soul, Yi Buzui’s heart immediately settled. Regardless of anything else, the brute opposite him had displayed strength that somewhat surprised him. He absolutely would not allow himself to be knocked from the arena again due to carelessness before this crowd.

“Lose? That depends on whether you have that capability!” Li Yuanba’s eyes burned with intensity. He nearly couldn’t restrain himself from roaring aloud. At this moment, the muscles throughout his body began trembling. This was the battle he desired!

Outside the duelling platform, Qin Yichen rubbed his temples, inwardly muttering to himself. [Entering the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land alongside this battle maniac… was that really the right choice!?]
