Chapter 260

Some Jingyu student levels are actually based on this.

If you can skillfully use your own momentum, you have roughly reached the Deputy Team Leader level.

When you refine your momentum and initially learn a domain,

then you are a true powerhouse who can stand alone!

You are qualified to aspire to be a Some Jingyu Team Leader!

And Li Yao

has now reached the step of momentum application and, under Xue Xue Jiulan's guidance, is refining it.

This step is actually something one would only touch upon after learning a domain,

a place where those level 80 professionals focus their attention.

Compared to Li Yao,

Hong Ling is like a little girl,

still struggling

in the area of weapon skills.

The gap between them can no longer be bridged by time.

Cang Cang Wuqi said so much to Hong Ling

actually just to change her thinking,

from challenging Li Yao to repaying Li Yao.

Part of the reason

was also that he wanted a thread of connection

between Hong Ling and Li Yao.

Perhaps there might be a chance for them to become friends!

To become friends with a figure like Li Yao,

even Cang Cang Wuqi himself

felt a hint of temptation.

Early the next morning,

Li Yao came to the dungeon hall as usual.

No matter the time,

Some Jingyu never lacks students who work hard to level up.

People come and go in an endless stream.

For some popular dungeons, you even have to queue up to have a chance to enter the dungeon room!

Li Yao came to the fourth floor.

The 【Heavenly Crane Altar】 room was set up here.

Strangely,

when Li Yao entered the room,

he didn't find a single student.

Logically speaking,

the dungeon opens at eight o'clock,

so it should be packed with people by now!

Fortunately, this dungeon has no entry number requirement.

Li Yao didn't think too much about it.

Once the time arrived,

he stepped into the dungeon vortex.

A dungeon within the Sakura Kingdom—

just as Li Yao expected, the teleportation time was on the longer side.

A strong tearing sensation struck,

and when he opened his eyes again, the sunlight was a bit blinding.

The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the sky was clear for ten thousand miles.

The place he stepped on was a large square stone-tiled floor.

In front of him was a long, milky-white staircase, spotless and endless.

It was about fifty or sixty meters wide, with beige stone pillars neatly arranged on both sides, leading straight to the sky along with the staircase.

"No one?"

Li Yao scanned the area.

"No, people are here."

A teleportation vortex suddenly appeared behind him.

A group of more than a dozen people.

Sakura Kingdom professionals?

The attire on the others was normal professional equipment,

but the person in the lead—

Li Yao found him somewhat familiar.

Wearing a kimono, one could tell at a glance that he was from the Sakura Kingdom.

Li Yao rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes narrowing slightly as he watched the newcomer.

The Void Tiger Armor appeared at his side,

its jet-black exoskeleton emitting a chilling intent under the sunlight.

This person is not simple.

This was Li Yao's initial judgment.

"Moshi moshi? You must be Li Yao-kun, right?"

The young man in the lead walked up to Li Yao with a rather familiar air and extended his right hand toward Li Yao.

"I am Kujo Lu Zai, elder brother of Mise."

"Li Yao-kun, I've long admired your name!"

Li Yao didn't reach out, but looked at the other party indifferently.

Kujo Lu Zai withdrew his right hand

and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Li Yao-kun, you know, I have no malice."

"The level limit for this dungeon is 35 to 45."

"I couldn't have come in through normal channels; now that I'm in, I can't interfere with anything in the dungeon."

"Of course, you can't take action against me either."

"Is that so?" Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

"Zheng!"

A low hum—

【Space Tombstone】 activated!

A transparent barrier, with Li Yao as the center, rippled outward,

instantly enveloping Kujo Lu Zai and the dozen or so Sakura Kingdom professionals behind him.

"What about them? I can't take action against them either?"

Feeling the thick spatial aura within this barrier,

Kujo Lu Zai's expression changed slightly,

but he immediately returned to a smiling appearance.

"If Li Yao-kun wants to take action, what does it matter if you kill them?"

"Speak up; whether I take action or not depends on your purpose for coming to find me."

Li Yao said indifferently, not putting the other party's dozens of professionals in his eyes at all.

If it were truly a normal conversation,

the other party had many choices:

asking Kujo Mise to pass a message, or entering the dungeon alone.

Li Yao could have patiently listened to what the other party had to say.

But bringing so many people in now—

if his strength weren't enough,

presumably those professionals behind Kujo Lu Zai would have already drawn their swords against him, right?

A silence descended,

the atmosphere at the scene so heavy it was suffocating.

"Haha," Kujo Lu Zai chuckled twice to ease the atmosphere, "Li Yao-kun, aren't we friends?"

"I heard that my sister gets along quite well with you in the Dragon Kingdom, doesn't she?"

Li Yao didn't reply.

The aura on the Tiger Armor became increasingly sharp,

as if it were about to take action at any moment.

Kujo Lu Zai quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it."

"I came to find Li Yao-kun mainly for two things."

"The first one is your marriage with Mise."

"Mise has told me several times that she is very fond of you and hopes to form a good relationship with you."

"I can also guarantee that as long as you come to my Sakura Kingdom, I, Kujo Lu Zai," Kujo Lu Zai patted his chest earnestly, "will absolutely treat you as my own brother!"

"You must believe in my integrity on this point."

"Finished?" Li Yao's expression was as calm as an ancient well.

"Huh?" Kujo Lu Zai didn't react for a moment.

Li Yao continued: "What about the second thing?"

"Won't you consider it?"

"Uh..."

"Alright," Kujo Lu Zai showed a troubled look, "It seems it was my sister's unrequited love."

"The second thing is the National Border Trial."

"I hope that our Sakura Kingdom, relying on the relationship with Kujo Mise, can cast aside past grievances and conduct a cooperation."

"Cast aside past grievances and cooperate?"

Li Yao grinned.

In an instant,

a massive aura poured out.

"Swish!"

The Tiger Armor turned into a black shadow and shot directly toward that group of Sakura Kingdom professionals.

"Everyone is qualified to talk about cooperation with the Dragon Kingdom,"

"but the Sakura Kingdom alone has no such possibility."

Kujo Lu Zai's expression changed abruptly, becoming as cold as snow.

"Pfft!"

The Tiger Armor and a Sakura Kingdom professional crossed paths,

and a bloody head was gripped in the Tiger Armor's hand.

Little Master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

"This... what is this?"

There was no time to react.

A headless corpse appeared among these Sakura Kingdom professionals.

Everyone, as if unable to control their own bodies,

felt a strong sense of fear that made them take a step back.

Level 40 professionals—

in front of Li Yao,

didn't even have the qualification to resist.

The aura alone was enough to pin them down, unable to move!

Kha'Zix's figure appeared, and together with the Tiger Armor, they darted into the crowd.

Immediately after,

screams and wails continued incessantly!

"Why can't I use the escape scroll?"

"The Kujo family's teleportation items can't be used either!"

"No! What kind of monster is this!"

"Master, save me!"

"Attack! Hurry and attack! Help me stop him!"

The two main attacking chess pieces were like tigers entering a flock of sheep,

wantonly harvesting lives.

These professionals were no match to begin with,

and the terrifying pressure Li Yao poured out

made their movements sluggish, their limbs unable to keep up with their thoughts.

After giving the order,

Li Yao didn't even look at them,

walking straight toward the staircase.

These people couldn't cause any emotional fluctuation in him.

To him,

they weren't even as worthy of his attention as this dungeon.

In less than half a minute,

except for Kujo Lu Zai,

all Sakura Kingdom professionals were killed.

Kha'Zix and the Tiger Armor leaped to Li Yao's side,

consciously falling a step behind,

guarding Li Yao on the left and right.

Fresh blood stained the floor,

the pooling blood seeping to Kujo Lu Zai's side,

but it passed directly through Kujo Lu Zai's feet,

spreading to the surroundings.

Kujo Lu Zai just stood there, watching the two chess pieces slaughter his attendants the whole time,

his expression unchanged, not even blinking an eye,

as if these attendants were strangers.

After a long time,

Kujo Lu Zai's figure gradually disappeared.

Sakura Kingdom,

Nakagawa District border,

inside a shrine, dozens of purple vortexes were arranged in an orderly fashion.

Below the 【Heavenly Crane Altar】 vortex,
