Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

At the entrance of Li's Money Shop, a huge crowd had gathered around a fighting ring.

On the arena, two figures are locked in a fierce battle.

The first arena battle, a fight between two flesh-refining martial artists, has reached a fever pitch.

Suddenly, blood splattered on the arena, and Li Yunfei, the eldest son of the Li family, had one arm severed.

However, the sword in his hand also pierced the enemy's chest.

Li Yunfei staggered for a moment, then steadied himself, looked around, his eyes wide, and roared:

"If you want to harm the Li family, you'll have to gamble with your life!"

The roar echoed from the arena throughout the nearby streets and alleys, drawing everyone's attention.

As he left the arena, he addressed the family head, Li Mingyuan, and the others:

"If we win just one of the next two games, we've won."

He was then helped into the money exchange.

At this moment, a man leaped onto the arena, dressed in white, with a handsome face, and bowed to the four directions, proclaiming loudly:

"I am Guo Yuan from Weiyuan Escort Agency, and I will fight in the second match for you all."

Seeing that this person was not intimidated by the death of the first person in the previous battle, and stood calmly on the stage with an air of confidence, the crowd immediately came to their senses and cheered.

At the entrance of the Li family's money shop, all the members of the Li family were present. The head of the family, Li Mingyuan, was secretly praising Li Yunfei for his bravery despite his recklessness.

Upon suddenly seeing Guo Yuan come on stage, his expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Your father, Guo Zhengwei of Weiyuan Escort Agency, was greatly indebted to my late father; otherwise, he would have found it difficult to establish himself in Chiyun County!"

"Are you still just a disciple of the Martial Arts Department, and yet you're so eager to repay kindness with enmity and kick someone when they're down?"

Guo Yuan said sanctimoniously:

"Your Li family's money shop has already declined, yet you concealed this fact and disregarded the money of the people of Chiyun County."

"I have come here today for the greater good, so how can I talk about repaying kindness with enmity or kicking someone when they are down?"

"Enough with the nonsense, who does your Li family want to take the stage? Just bring them on."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise and doubt appeared in Li Mingyuan's eyes.

Why would the Weiyuan Escort Agency risk being branded as ungrateful just to deal with a weakened Li family? Were they eager to pledge allegiance to the Chen and Shen families?

Li Mingyuan was secretly furious. He glanced around and saw that his second son, Li Yunping, was not there.

Li Yunping had just helped Li Yunfei into the money exchange, and logically, the matter should have been resolved and they should have come out by now, but they still haven't shown up.

Disappointment flickered in his eyes. His second son was always quick to shirk responsibility; he hadn't expected him to be so pathetic in a crucial moment.

At this moment, Li Youning stood in the crowd and vaguely felt that her family members were looking at her, and some of their gazes clearly carried a hint of reproach.

If she hadn't wasted those two hundred taels of silver, the Li family could have recruited a martial artist who had mastered the Skin Refining Technique, which would have been just enough to handle this battle.

However, she wasted that money.

Her second brother, like her, was at the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. His absence clearly meant he wanted her to take his place, since she hadn't treated those two hundred taels of silver with care.

Sensing Li Mingyuan's gaze, Li Youning bit her lip slightly, drew her long sword from her waist with a clang, and rushed onto the arena.

"Ningning!" Li Mingyuan called out urgently, but a gentle breeze lifted Li Youning's long hair, and a few strands of black hair floated up, revealing Li Youning's resolute profile.

Once on the stage, she immediately unleashed the Li family's ancestral sword technique, the Frost Moon Sword Art. The chilling sword light was almost continuous as she attacked Guo Yuan.

"Well done!" A hint of confidence appeared in Guo Yuan's eyes. He didn't even draw his sword, but instead met the sword attack with the sword still in its sheath.

Ding Ding Ding!

The sound of metal clashing rang out repeatedly as Li Youning's sword moves continued unabated, yet he was utterly unable to harm Guo Yuan.

Despite being the one relentlessly attacking with her sword, she appeared extremely passive, and Guo Yuan could easily block her attacks with just a simple swing of his scabbard.

Occasionally, Guo Yuan would suddenly step forward and attack diagonally with his scabbard, which would make Li Youning uncomfortable and cause his offensive to slow down abruptly.

After several rounds of this, Li Youning could no longer hold back. He drew a circle with his sword and unleashed the killing move of the Frost Moon Sword Technique.

The shadow returns to the ruins!

"That's what I've been waiting for!" Guo Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw her use her killer move.

He then retreated without taking any countermeasures, allowing Li Youning to unleash his full power of Zhaoying Guixu move by move.

In the end, he retreated to the corner of the arena. Li Youning, who had unleashed a barrage of killing moves, reached the peak of his momentum and unleashed his final sword strike, which Guo Yuan had no way to dodge!

Just as Guo Yuan was about to die by her sword, a sharp clang was heard, and Guo Yuan drew his blade.

With a single, vertical slash, unstoppable and unstoppable, this is the Six Harmonies Knife Technique of Weiyuan Escort Agency!

Clang!

Swords clashed, air rippled, and a faint wave of energy emanated from them.

Suddenly, Li Youning's expression changed, and he retreated hastily, but it was too late.

Guo Yuan withdrew his sword and slashed out again. This time, she felt a tremendous force coming from him. Her tiger's mouth trembled, and she lost her grip on the sword, which flew out of her hand, leaving her defenses wide open.

Guo Yuan kicked out and struck her hard in the lower abdomen.

"Pfft!" Li Youning coughed up blood and flew off the stage.

"Hahaha... I've broken through! I've refined my flesh!" She vaguely heard Guo Yuan's loud laughter on the arena, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

It turns out that Guo Yuan was using her as a whetstone to hone his skills before the battle!

Having reached the level of Flesh Refining, Guo Yuan could now rank among the top ten disciples of this year's Martial Arts Division, with a bright future ahead!

Just as Guo Yuan used her as a stepping stone to break through, the Li family will also be destroyed and its members killed by the various forces in the city taking advantage of their misfortune.

Was all this because she wasted two hundred taels of silver? She lost, and the next opponent is just an ordinary leather-refining guard. This arena battle is truly going to be lost.

She let down the opportunity that her older brother, Li Yunfei, had fought for with one arm.

boom!

Suddenly she felt herself being caught, and a familiar voice said:

"Senior Sister Li, how are you?"

Li Youning suddenly woke up and opened his eyes to see a handsome man dressed in white handing him over to Li Mingyuan.

"Junior Brother Lu?" Li Youning said in disbelief, rubbing her eyes, only to find that it was real, Lu Ming was really standing in front of her.

"Ningning, who is this?" Li Mingyuan asked in confusion.

Seeing the wariness in Li Mingyuan's eyes, Li Youning quickly said:

"Father, this is my Martial Arts Division disciple, Junior Brother Lu Ming."

"I did write to Junior Brother Lu before, but I didn't expect you to come."

"But, but the battle at the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement is over, and I lost."

As Li Youning finished speaking, he suddenly sighed softly, indicating that the matter was already settled.

Moreover, even if Lu Ming has broken through to the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement, he will still find it difficult to defeat Guo Yuan, and may even lose his life in vain.

"Junior Brother Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but..." Li Youning wanted to say something.

Lu Ming interrupted her: "But I'm not at the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. I'm here to participate in the Skin Refinement Realm Arena Battle."

Li Youning was immediately stunned: "You haven't broken through to the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement? Then how did you get into the Martial Arts Department?"

"Let's talk about it later. I'll go and meet him first."

Lu Ming waved his hand, stepped onto a black hole, and entered the arena.

There stood a burly man with an extremely stable lower body, who seemed to be skilled in leg techniques.
