I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 197. First Encounter

"This ’Internal Explosion’ technique should be enough to handle the upcoming ’Life and Death Arena.’"

Lu Li set that matter aside and called over the Flying Swords to begin studying "sonic sword control."

During the battle with Xie Junbai, Lu Li had realized the importance of speed, and he had been trying to achieve it for some days.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just about combat strength, "To manage objects faster than the speed of sound" was a sign of great success in the "Fetal Breath" stage.

Therefore, mastering "sonic sword control" was a must, but its difficulty... was far beyond imagination!

At this moment, Lu Li was controlling seven Flying Swords, taking turns flying them, even trying out Lian Wanqing’s "Blood-Drinking Sword."

Wanqing had not erased the spirit imprint Lu Li had left on the Flying Sword, and since they had become intimate, Lu Li was still able to control it without any hindrance.

The swords flashed coldly, and the sound of their movement was like a roar—an impressive sight to behold.

But their speed was only 320 meters per second, failing to reach the required 340 meters per second for the sound barrier.

It was close, but whenever the Flying Swords neared the speed of sound, Lu Li felt as if the air became viscous, akin to being underwater, and he just couldn’t break through that layer of resistance.

"It’s still not working..."

After a lengthy attempt, Lu Li stopped controlling the swords and pondered,

"It seems my cultivation is still lacking, and the strength of my spirit is not enough to stimulate sonic speed."

"Let the Kunlun Mirror continue to expand the Sea of Consciousness; my Martial Arts journey is about to undergo ’Marrow Cleansing.’ With both processes in play, I’ll try again."

Lu Li continually made calculations... while the group of Flying Swords, having trained for a while, gathered around their master, hoping for a treat of spirit energy.

"They get hungry so quickly~"

Lu Li chuckled and shook his head as he poked the "Blood-Drinking Sword," saying, "You already have an owner, yet you still ask me for more."

It was unclear if the "Blood-Drinking Sword" understood, but it stubbornly refused to leave.

Quality varied among spirits, and naturally, the spirit from the "Fetal Breath Mirror" was particularly delicious.

Lu Li did not treat them as outsiders and fed each of the Flying Swords seventy percent of his spirit.

Refining Flying Swords was an enormous drain, and managing seven at once, even with Essential Oil, just barely afforded enough spirit energy.

But precisely because of so many Flying Swords, Lu Li was unrivaled in Fetal Breath and Blood Exchange!

Against an enemy like Xie Junbai, even if three came at the same time, they would not be a match for the onslaught of seven Flying Swords.

This was also why Lu Li wasn’t too concerned about the "Life and Death Arena."

It was nothing more than bullying some ’Refining Internal Organs’ weaklings; if it wasn’t for the chance to kill some Chuyun people, he really couldn’t muster any interest.

However, Lu Li did not know that the event of the "Life and Death Arena" was far more sensational than he imagined!

~~~~~~~~~~

On her first day in the new position, Xiao Cha was busy until 10 p.m. before she returned home.

She was dressed in a dark, luxurious outfit, her cuffs and collar adorned with gold insignia of the Chief Constable’s uniform.

Paired with her stern demeanor and tall stature, she looked every bit the powerful and imposing young Chief Constable~

Lu Li nodded and praised, "Chief Constable Xiao Cha, that outfit gives off a unique flavor, very imposing~"

"I would look good in anything I wear~"

Xiao Cha laughed heartily, not the least bit modest. She then added,

"By the way, Lu Li, Sister Xia called and wanted to meet you tomorrow at the Martial Arts Association."

Lu Li’s expression shifted, "Xia Weiyun... is it about the ’Life and Death Arena’?"

"Exactly!" Xiao Cha’s eyes sparkled as she said,

"The event is causing quite a stir, with common folks wanting to see Martial Artists fight for their lives and peers in Martial Arts wishing to observe the combats... There might be tens of thousands of people attending! And there will be reporters and such~"

It was a significant event, so naturally, Xia Weiyun needed to meet with the participants.

Lu Li nodded and said, "This Master has helped me greatly before, I would actually quite like to meet her."

"Then let’s go early tomorrow~"

After setting the serious business aside, Lu Li suddenly remarked,

"I tasted grapefruit last night; tonight, I feel like eating peaches~"

Xiao Cha paused before realizing what he meant, and immediately began pounding him with her small fists,

"Eat your head! You big pig trotter~ what a lech!"

But even as the girl scolded him, she turned around to wash up.

Lu Li felt smug inside, a balanced diet required both peaches and grapefruit~

~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, they visited the Martial Arts Association as agreed.

This place had been bustling with people coming and going when he visited once before.

Now, an even longer queue stretched around the corner, with five or six hundred people winding their way along the street.

Xiao Cha said, "They’re all here to buy Calming Incense. The National Martial Arts Association in Jinmen is the only place selling it at the original price."

Lu Li nodded, recalling the entire seven tons of Calming Incense he had set aside on Blue Star.

With the essential oil, this incense was truly nothing more than "mosquito coils" to him.

"If the talk goes well today, I might as well give it to the Martial Arts Association," he thought to himself as he entered the dark-hued Western-style building of the National Martial Arts Association with Xiao Cha.

Meanwhile, Xia Weiyun and Nan Jiping were still unaware of the impending arrival of a formidable God of Wealth.

They were standing at the balcony on the second floor, solemnly looking over the bustling crowd queuing to buy the incense.

"The supply of Calming Incense sent by the Four Spirits is running low," Xia Weiyun spoke as she straightened her stunning face,

"Many of those inside are stooges from trading associations. Even with our rationing, we still sell off three kilograms a day."

Nan Jiping said distressedly, "Several Governors have joined forces to blockade the court, making it impossible to transport more from the south..."

"The Governors imposing an embargo on the court, that’s truly laughable."

Xia Weiyun had just sighed when her eyes suddenly lit up!

She saw a distinguished-looking couple arriving, adding a light halo to the disorderly hall.

It was Lu Li and Xiao Cha, who, upon looking up, locked eyes with Xia Weiyun and Nan Jiping.

"What a magnificent couple!"

Nan Jiping exclaimed in admiration and then added in surprise,

"Is this young man Lu Li? Wasn’t he said to be in Refining Spirit Meditation? He must have achieved Zuowang!"

Judging solely by sight didn’t provide much accuracy, Xia Weiyun also expressed her surprise, "Not many have seen him, it seems he has just had a breakthrough."

Nan Jiping revealed a deep lament, "Such a pity, with such fine talents and good looks, how did he end up with a crippled leg."

Xia Weiyun cursed, "Damn this world for its jokes! It just has to create tales of doomed beauty and fatal flaws!"

Nan Jiping reminded, "Fighting with his condition could be risky, and any injury would be a big loss."

Xia Weiyun nodded in agreement.

Cultivators were precious commodities in themselves, let alone one missing a leg; the risk was high when fighting in close quarters on the arena. freёnovelkiss.com

At that moment, Lu Li and Xiao Cha came up the stairwell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sister Xia, I have brought the person, this is Lu Li."

Xiao Cha took the initiative to introduce, "This is Nan Jiping, President of the Jinmen Martial Arts Association, and Director Xia Weiyun."

Meeting for the first time, Lu Li greeted them with a clasped fist and said aloud, "Pleased to meet you!"

Xia Weiyun returned the gesture with hands clasped together while Nan Jiping nodded with a smile,

"Young friend, at such a young age to possess outstanding Refining God Cultivation is indeed rare. Please~"

The group then proceeded to Nan Jiping’s office.

After seating themselves, Xia Weiyun got straight to the point,

"Young Master Lu, we appreciate your generous offer to help... but as a cultivator, entering the arena for hand-to-hand combat isn’t quite suitable."

Nan Jiping added, "The role of a cultivator is not to engage in conflicts but to pursue knowledge, to be a scientist. It’s better to think this through thoroughly."

Although the other party meant well, Lu Li simply nodded and calmly said,

"If it’s convenient... I quite enjoy killing Chuyun people."

Such straightforward words stunned Nan Jiping and Xia Weiyun on the spot!

Just like he had previously killed Xie Junbai, Fan Shouyi, and others, this era was filled with traitors and the harm of compatriots, and even those who kept their distance from politics were considered to have a conscience.

Someone like Lu Li, who was so outspoken about his "way," was indeed rare!

"What a fondness for killing Chuyun people!"

With every wrinkle on his face smiling, Nan Jiping said, "Young friend, with such determination, I have nothing more to say."

Xia Weiyun stopped with formalities, too, and laughed heartily as she patted Lu Li on the shoulder,

"At first, I thought you were a refined scholar, but it seems I judged you by your appearance."

In fewer than three sentences exchanged, the atmosphere was already warm.

Nan Jiping, the President of the Martial Arts Association, personally opened a pot of Spiritual Tea.
