I have been immersed in the Martial Master Realm for many years and have deep insights, which I can share with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These insights cannot be found anywhere in the Xu Family; they have always been passed down verbally,\" Old Master Xu was still struggling, making one last effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing the Red-haired Wolf King with great force, his current condition was extremely poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh on his right shoulder was a bloody mess, and his arm hung weakly by his side, unlikely to recover in just a few months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with one arm missing, his combat strength was less than half of his peak. How could he possibly fight this terrifying youngster opposite him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What insights, the insights from imitating pig calls?\" Lou Yi sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu’s eyes immediately turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of imitating pig calls earlier, and his handsome beard being cut off by Lou Yi, his lifelong reputation was utterly ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young brat, you’re courting death!\" he roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while Old Master Xu was mentally unstable, Lou Yi had already charged up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was filled with surging Qi-Blood, an unmatched will fused with the Qi-Blood, transforming into an invisible, magnificent momentum pressing towards Old Master Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu’s eyes shot out a sharp light, his body also surging with an aura as deep as the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was more profound and heavy than Lou Yi’s, instantly blocking the surrounding momentum coming towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were in a stalemate for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi broke through with force, swinging the Profound Iron Axe with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of breaking through the air was like a ghost’s scream, and even a faint white airflow was seen escaping, a manifestation of tremendous strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu, having witnessed Lou Yi’s majestic power when he killed Lin, the chief of the escort, was afraid to take the strike head-on. He dodged left and right, his clothes fluttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the space in the underground vault was too small, limiting the lightweight skill of a Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Old Master Xu understood well the principle that constant defense would eventually lead to a breakthrough, so he occasionally counterattacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul Shattering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, the blood-red scimitar suddenly glowed with a red light, as if a pair of eyes from the abyss were gazing at Lou Yi, causing his mind to stagnate and his eyes to involuntarily close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splitting Mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual deterrent wave was countering the same Soul Shattering Saber, this peculiar weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the white and purple Spiritual Pearls that Lou Yi obtained earlier emitted a faint light, further blocking the spiritual attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the Soul Shattering Saber had no effect, Old Master Xu unwillingly retreated, looking for another opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about a dozen moves, neither could overcome the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once lavishly decorated, oil lamp-lit massive underground vault, with numerous red-lacquered columns, was marred by their confrontation; the surface of stone pillars pitted and two even broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oil lamps extinguished one after another, plunging the vault into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, darkness was like daylight for the two of them, as they were not ordinary individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axe met saber again, weapons clashing fiercely against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu just wanted to leverage himself into the air when he unexpectedly heard Lou Yi softly chant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Armor-Piercing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Old Master Xu’s expression drastically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incomparably sharp energy was transmitted from his own Soul Shattering Saber into his body, spreading over his internal organs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if his internal organs were grasped by invisible hands, making his face contort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power in his left hand, which held the saber, noticeably stalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi seized the opportunity, using the Dragon-Piercing Secret Technique, his Qi-Blood surged, and Dual Strength flooding in like an avalanche!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu’s treasured saber was split apart by a single axe, flying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without the Soul Shattering Saber, how much strength was left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue web-like lines extended all over Lou Yi’s body, an icy aura enveloping Old Master Xu, significantly slowing his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lou Yi struck Old Master Xu’s left shoulder with an axe, nearly beheading him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu let out a miserable scream, white True Strength flashing all over him as he desperately unloaded the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi crashed into his arms, his two fingers turning pale silver, thrusting sharply into his chest and quickly pulling out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted from his chest, splashing all over Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a crazed expression appeared on Old Master Xu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his mouth, a blood arrow wrapped in white light shot out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pff!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a close range, Lou Yi couldn’t avoid it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His throat was pierced by the blood arrow, resulting in a visible bloody hole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s die together...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Xu displayed a venomous smile, but it froze on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloody hole on Lou Yi’s throat was healing at a visible rate, quickly returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if the rupture was just an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, Old Master Xu fell to the ground, eyes wide open, unable to die in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old fart, really hard to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi touched his throat, feeling some emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent had less than half the strength of his peak, yet still made him work so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there is a significant gap between Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Jiang Chi who just broke through was clearly the weakest type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patriarch Fang and Lin, the chief of the escort, were considered proficient among Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Old Master Xu, Tai City’s number one, could rank in the top five or even top three in Wangjiang County, a top-notch Martial Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lou Yi was confident that even if the opponent was at his peak state, he could still find a way to kill him, albeit with more effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to Old Master Xu’s side, energy +20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching the body, he found nothing valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet with Old Master Xu’s death, the Xu Family vault was now completely open to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the stone doors of several secret chambers had just been broken open, revealing densely packed boxes inside, likely containing countless treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was just about to head there when he suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him was a pure silver cage, crafted entirely from Profound Iron, housing a small pile of meat, scattered white beast hair, and fresh blood which caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What on earth is this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi instinctively reached out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Energy +20’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was utterly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small pile of meat, seemingly from a dead beast cub, could generate as much energy as Old Master Xu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Attribute Panel continued to show a prompt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Consume one hundred points of energy to slightly enhance the wind affinity, consume?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind affinity, what is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, it required a full one hundred points of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his knowledge, even talents typically only cost him ten points of energy at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was definitely something good, as the Attribute Panel would not deceive him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy reduced by one hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, it seemed that a weak energy entered his body from the void, making him feel comfortably warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation came and went quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi looked at the Attribute Panel, but there was no mention of ’wind affinity’ anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Lou Yi]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Age: 19\u002F80]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm: Five Blood Warrior
