As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Simply... too monstrous!

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The crowd withdrew from the Observation Platform, unwilling to watch Li Che savor the victory feast.

The sect masters of the Six Great Divine Sects were even more reluctant to watch, because every victory of Li Che meant they were one step closer to losing their bets!

Inside the Little Lingyin Institute.

A moment of silence.

Ning Caisen looked at Ning Cai, who was holding a Peach Branch and appeared dazed and lost, and sighed softly: "Gentlemen, our sect's heroes have done their best..."

"Next, we'll leave it to you."

"This Li Che... the Divine Embryo Secret Skill he practiced is indeed quite formidable."

Grandmaster Huang Mei chanted the Buddha's name, his eyes bright: "Amitabha Buddha, the Divine Embryo Secret Skill practiced by this child is somewhat similar to our Buddhist Vajra Dharma Image... Truly, this child has a connection with our Buddhist Sect."

Ning Caisen rolled his eyes, right, everyone has a connection with your Buddhist Sect, don't they?

Originally, Ning Caisen had only planned to send a True Successor to give Li Che a taste of water, but he did not expect Ning Cai to opt for a head-on confrontation. However, it's also good, experiencing the taste of failure can be beneficial for mental and physical health.

Ning Cai quickly recovered his spirit, although his face was pale, his eyes shone with excitement, then a hint of desolation: "Grandpa, Li Half-Saint is really strong..."

"I heard... Li Half-Saint is already married and even has a daughter?"

Ning Caisen looked at his granddaughter speechlessly.

"Alas, I was born but you were not, and when you were born, I was already old..."

Ning Cai sighed softly.

Ning Caisen's mouth twitched.

Ning Cai seemed to think of something, and the big eyes of the adorable girl brightened again: "I seem to still have a chance, Li Half-Saint's wife doesn't seem to have great cultivation talent, she might not live long!"

"I can outlive her!"

Ning Caisen no longer wanted to pay attention to his crazy granddaughter.

White Buxi from Haoran Academy furrowed his brows and interrupted the babbling Ning Cai.

"I once read in the handbooks of Confucian Saints... The Divine Embryo Secret Skill this child practices seems to be the rumored [Law of Heaven and Earth], a Three Pure Ranks Divine Embryo Secret Skill!"

"This divine secret technique... should come from the Miao Dao Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun Strange Temple, as recorded in the books of the Confucian Saints, that Erlang Xiansheng controls this secret technique."

"Coincidentally... there is exactly one Miao Dao Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun Strange Temple in the Qian Yuan Divine Sect."

White Buxi, well-read and insightful, revealed the origins of Li Che's secret technique.

"A Three Pure Ranks Divine Embryo Secret Skill... This child's divine talent is indeed terrifying!"

Grandmaster Huang Mei of the Little Lingyin Temple praised: "Amitabha Buddha, truly has a great connection with our Buddhist Sect..."

Suddenly.

Grandmaster Huang Mei's brow furrowed again.

"This child, has gone to the banquet again..."

This remark immediately caused an uproar among the disciples of the Six Great Divine Sects gathered in the Little Lingyin Institute.

Many heroic disciples also wore very serious expressions.

"Does he need no rest at all? After the battle with Miss Ning Cai, doesn't he even need a break?"

"Is he planning to... win against all of our six great divine sects' heroes in one day?! To achieve a seven consecutive victory?!"

"How arrogant!"

...

Many of the divine sect heroes were indignant, feeling that Li Che's actions seemed to disregard them.

But, one could not deny, mastering the Three Pure Divine Embryo Secret Technique, Li Che truly had the capital for such arrogance!

"Amitabha Buddha, Grandmaster, please allow this little monk to go..."

In the courtyard, a voice chanting the Buddha's name was heard.

Everyone turned their gaze over and saw a frail novice monk quietly standing there, with almost no presence. If he hadn't spoken up voluntarily...

Everyone might not have perceived his existence.

Grandmaster Huang Mei's gaze fell on the novice monk, his eyes showing no joy or sorrow: "Wukong, do you have confidence?"

The novice monk slowly raised his head, and the nine scars on his forehead seemed to shimmer with brilliance.

"This little monk... will do his utmost, willing to sacrifice himself for the Buddha and dedicate to Li Half-Saint."

Grandmaster Huang Mei clasped his hands together and nodded happily: "Good."

But just when Grandmaster Huang Mei was about to agree to let this monk named "Wukong" go to the banquet to face Li Che.

Huang Mei, Gu Changqing, Ning Caisen, and other divine sect masters all turned their heads toward the entrance of the Little Lingyin Institute.

The sound of armor clattering resounded continuously, and a strong and domineering aura surged in like a sea breach, causing the entire courtyard to fall into oppression.

The ground vibrated slightly.

Then, a robust figure clad in Mysterious Black Armor strode into the courtyard.

And following that robust figure was another one as hefty as a small mountain, with a lute hanging from the waist.

After entering the small courtyard, that towering figure resembling a small mountain removed his armor. His form shrank, transforming into a stout young man, his eyes flowing with a glazed crimson hue.

"Huang Mei, for this round, let my disciple take the stage."

Ji Moli stepped into the yard, his strong physique as upright as a mountain, a black cape fluttering, his gaze sweeping across the scene with dominance and ferocity.

Finally, his eyes landed on Grandmaster Huang Mei.

There was no room for doubt.

...

...

Lotus Pavilion.

National Master Xie Yushen, dressed in plain clothes, climbed a bamboo ladder step by step to a bronze cauldron where three lotus flowers were nurtured, looking at the reflection on the water's surface.

He watched with great interest.

Seeing Li Che elevate by twenty zhang using the Law of Heaven and Earth and crushing Ning Cai with one punch, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"The Divine Secret Technique of Miao Dao Xiansheng Erlang True Monarch Temple God... Law of Heaven and Earth?"

"Could it be that the Divine Monkey... truly isn't this person?"

Xie Yushen squinted his eyes, raised his hand to manipulate a lotus in the cauldron, causing ripples on the water surface.

Suddenly, the image re-formed.

Xie Yushen raised an eyebrow, leisurely stepping on the bamboo ladder, leaning on the cauldron's edge, continuing to watch.

"Ji Moli's third disciple... Zhou Chiguo?"

"Ha... this Zhou Chiguo seems to come from the Golden Light Prefecture. He was originally the senior disciple of the Qian Yuan Branch Sect's Nan Lihuo, and for the Temple God Resonance, Ji Moli changed his name..."

"What was his original name again?"

"Old age seems to have momentarily clouded my memory."

...

...

Qianyuan Institute.

A gentle breeze.

Li Che secured another victory, making it two consecutive wins. Within the small courtyard, everyone's eyes on Li Che burned with fervor.

So strong!

Elder Li is incredibly powerful!

He crushed his opponents with two swift victories!

Zhang Ya's eyes shone even brighter; her daughter and husband were so formidable, it filled her with pride!

Our family is terrifyingly strong!

Lv Taibai did not expect this battle to end so quickly either.

He gathered his thoughts, as Xi Xi's breakthrough was just beginning.

Li Che, grasping a Peach Branch, let his Divinity surge forth once more. Having just claimed a victory, he intended to continue attending the banquet.

Lv Taibai raised a silver eyebrow, saying: "Don't you need a rest? To recover your Divinity?"

Li Che smiled: "During the time they attacked me... I've almost recovered any Divinity I used by deploying the Divine Secret Technique."

Lv Taibai: "..."

"I aim to finish today, so I can head to the Qintian Observatory with Hong Jianzheng to complete the Special Class Guest Minister assessment. I've heard that completing the assessment at Qintian Observatory grants a piece of Four Imperial Rank Spiritual Wood..."

Li Che smiled gently.

Then, wrapping his five fingers around the Peach Branch, he vanished once more.

In the Divine Palace.

The White Jade Arena, previously lined with cracks from the last battle, was once again immaculate.

After the match, Li Che, infused with Divinity, appeared on the arena platform.

Hmm?!

Li Che could already sense an aura and pressure quite different from his previous formidable opponents.

On the White Jade Arena.

A young man with glazed crimson eyes slowly stood up, a palm-sized White Jade Pipa in his hand suddenly swelling against the wind.

The young man grasped the top of the Pipa, softly tapping it against the White Jade floor.

Looking at Li Che.

Slowly, he grinned, revealing a menacing mouthful of teeth.

"Formerly Zhou Daoyuan of Golden Light Prefecture, now of Peace Chaos Prince Mansion... Zhou Chiguo."

"Elder Li, my teacher has instructed me..."

"To kill you."
