Demonic Demoness Training Project

Looking at the person in front of him, who continued to act so arrogantly, Lu Li wondered if True Lord Tui Huo had always been like this when he was young, or if this guy's character had been corrupted by the Tongxian Sect.

The two had such different personalities that, in the blink of an eye, a guess suddenly arose in Lu Li's mind.

Wait a minute, someone who mainly cultivates the Soul Path has changed his temperament and his appearance has become like a woman's... Could it be that...?

Was this done by the Lingtu Ancestor?

Or perhaps, True Lord Tuihuo also received the inheritance of Ancestor Lingtu?

Lu Li had already noticed the strangeness of the Lingtu Instrument. She was able to achieve what she had today not only thanks to the Qingling Puppet, but also because the Lingtu Ancestor had made an indispensable contribution.

Out of respect for the formidable reputation of the True Lord of Extinguishing Fire, Lu Li continued:

“I’ll keep the Flame-Swallowing Jade Marrow for when I need it. If you have any Ice Dao spiritual materials to exchange with me, I can give you the whole piece.”

Unexpectedly, Little Retreating Fire True Monarch raised an eyebrow and said impatiently:

"Why are you making so many demands? Do you think I'm discussing this with you? This is my order. Don't think you're so great just because you defeated that Little Ming Sword Emperor. If you're not satisfied, then have a go at me."

"Fine, then let's fight."

Little Tuihuo Zhenjun snorted coldly, and a pitch-black hand guard appeared out of thin air on his palm, which was originally in a soul form.

The gauntlets themselves are nothing special, but the back is inlaid with four spirit cores, all of which are fifth-level spirit cores with different attributes, corresponding to gold, lightning, ice, and wind respectively.

Besides the four level-five spirit cores, there is a reserved groove, indicating that there is still one spirit core missing. Clearly, this artifact is still missing one spirit core.

Only ten days have passed since the start of the competition, and in these short ten days, he has actually refined four fifth-level spirit cores. Such talent is something even Lu Li admires.

The moment the Lesser Retreat True Monarch revealed this gauntlet, those cultivators who had been observing the proceedings were already unsurprised, while the later-arriving cultivators were somewhat puzzled. So, the former explained to the latter:

"This gauntlet was specially prepared by True Lord Tuihuo for Little True Lord Tuihuo, and its name is—【Five Elements Gauntlets】!"

"The Five Elements, as the name suggests, refer to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. However, in the process of exploring blessed lands, it is not always possible to gather all the spiritual materials corresponding to the five elements."

"True Lord Tuihuo is a powerful being at the Integration Realm. His strength lies in this: he had already considered this situation and therefore improved this artifact so that it could be used with spirit cores of various attributes."

"I don't understand. This guy is only at the late stage of the Creation Realm, so how can he refine so many fifth-rank spirit cores? I just watched the replay, and he only made two mistakes in the middle."

Everyone gasped in astonishment. A fifth-grade spirit core was incredibly rare, and to succeed four out of six times was an astonishingly low success rate. Some speculated:

"Hmph, I reckon that before he arrived, True Monarch Tuihuo personally instructed each of them on how to refine spirit cores of various attributes."

No matter what kind of spiritual material you encounter, as long as it can be refined into a spiritual core, it can be embedded in it; it's practically a perfect match.

A puppet weapon enhanced by five level-five spirit cores... once forged, its power is simply unimaginable.

And this is the template for winning the championship that True Lord Tuihuo prepared for Little True Lord Tuihuo!

At this moment, someone in the heavens spoke again:

"Back then, True Lord was just a minor leader of the Tongxian Sect, and he didn't have nearly as many resources. He had the same talents as this Little True Lord. The resources that True Lord desperately sought back then, Little True Lord could easily obtain as well. If we consider the same period, Little True Lord is stronger than True Lord. True Lord himself was able to win the championship back then. I don't understand what others have to offer to compete with Little True Lord."

"Hey, to sum it up in one sentence, it's just two words."

Which two words?

"Guaranteed! Guaranteed to the top spot! Before, those rivals, the Little True Lords, either fled or were utterly defeated. No wonder they call him a silly roe deer. He doesn't run away when he's in danger; he just stands there dumbfounded. What else could he be but a silly roe deer?"

"This is just too much!"

"What? You're not convinced? Let me tell you, not only will he be guaranteed the top spot in the Human Group this time, but he will also participate in the Earth Group's grand tournament a hundred years later and be guaranteed the top spot in the Earth Group. Compared to the tournament's rewards, what the True Lord cares about more is cultivating an invincible and unstoppable Dao heart for his own son."

……

Lingxi Sect, in the Elder's Pavilion.

The elders stared blankly at the video of the conference. Not only was the wind in the sky unanimously in favor of Little Tuihuo Zhenjun, but even the Supreme Elders who were watching the battle did not think that Luli had any chance of winning.

Miaoyin Zhenren disliked Luli and wished for Luli's utter defeat.

Sect Master Yuanzi, however, was different. After all, Lu Li represented the interests of the Lingxi Sect. He scratched his head, wanting to contact Lu Li and urge her to run away as soon as possible.

Before the competition, they thought Lu Li had no chance of winning, but after witnessing Lu Li's skills, they regained their confidence in her.

With Lu Li's abilities, as long as she plays steadily and avoids direct confrontation with Little Tuihuo Zhenjun, she might actually be able to get a top-three finish. The sect reward for the top three in the Human Group is five fourth-tier mineral veins.

Since it concerned the interests of the sect, even Ren Yuanzi lost his composure.

"Run! You silly roe deer, why aren't you running? What are you standing there for? Hey, you only need to get five level-four spirit ores, why are you fighting with him for them?"

Ren Yuanzi racked his brains trying to contact Lu Li, but he suddenly realized that he didn't have Lu Li's contact information. He had no idea that there was actually a small disparate heaven in Lu Li's sea of ​​consciousness.

Left with no other choice, he could only contact Xuan Shu Tian and ask Mu Qing Que for help.

The Earth Group Conference had not yet started. Mu Qingque was lying in a makeshift summer resort on the banks of the Mengjiang River, leisurely watching the conference while sipping uranium water.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yuanzi contacted him through Xuan Shu Tian and immediately launched into a tirade.

"Didn't you emphasize this to her before the conference started?"

"What should we emphasize?"

"Little Annealing True Lord."

"I told you to tell her to be careful of that little True Lord."

"You, you, you, you have to make her run away as soon as she sees her. What do you mean by 'be careful'? She's the one who gets a guaranteed spot at the top, she can just aim for second or third place. Why is she going up there to join the fun?"

"No, I wanted her to win the championship."

"Oh dear, with Little True Lord around, how could she possibly win? Contact her now and tell her to run away quickly, or it will be too late."

At this moment, Mu Qingque glanced at the situation inside the Star Sea Cave, still looking relaxed and content. She picked up the teapot, poured another bowl of uranium water, and then slowly said:

"Oh, it's too late, they've already started fighting."

Chapter 340 is all about sweat and effort.

Xinghai Fudi, beside a volcano.

The Lesser Fire True Monarch looked down from his high position with a cold smile on his lips. He made a hand seal with one hand, and the four spirit cores on his Five Elements Handguards simultaneously burst out with dazzling light.

The four types of Dao patterns intertwined and flowed, and the space around Lu Li suddenly began to distort. An unprecedented sense of oppression came from all directions. Lu Li thought to himself that something was wrong, and he pushed off the volcanic rock wall with both feet and hurriedly activated the Cloud Threads Three Thousand Threads to dodge.

No sooner had Lu Li left than a tremendous shockwave erupted behind her.

Boom!

Lu Li turned her head and saw that the space behind her had turned into nothingness, as if a giant ladle had dug this space out of thin air.

The space within the blessed land was relatively stable. Shortly after Lu Li left, the space slowly closed up, but left smooth, flat cuts on the surrounding rock walls.

If such an attack were to land on her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the other party did not give her a chance to breathe at all. With a light pinch on her little finger, the golden spirit core behind her little finger lit up immediately.

The next moment, countless flying swords appeared out of thin air and swept towards Lu Li.

Then, Xiao Zhenjun pinched his ring finger, and a bolt of lightning exploded in front of Lu Li. Lu Li hurriedly changed direction, and three thousand strands of cloud-like energy sprayed downwards, causing her body to rise upwards.

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhenjun pinched his middle and index fingers in succession, and ice spikes and wind blades appeared at the same time, blocking Lu Li's path to rise.

With attacks coming from all sides and all escape routes blocked, Lu Li, seeing that she couldn't dodge in time, charged headlong into the direction from which the ice spikes were coming.

Boom!

Ice spikes exploded, the temperature plummeted, and a thick fog blanketed the sky. Rings of blue air currents spread out, completely enveloping the crater.

Seeing this, the crowd outside felt sorry for Lu Li, Ren Yuanzi was heartbroken, and Xiao Zhenjun's lips curled up even higher as he coldly snorted:

"Hmph, overestimating yourself. Even cultivators at the Heavenly Crafting Realm wouldn't dare to face this attack, so how could you possibly withstand it?"

At this moment, Mo Shuhan also entered the Lesser Heaven of Disparity and was watching the Midstream Weapon Forging Conference. Seeing Lu Li being suppressed by the Little True Monarch, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but comment:

"What kind of skill is it to bully a roe deer just because you have connections?"

Little Zhenjun happened to see this comment, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he crossed his arms and his face was full of smugness.

"I owe everything I have today to my own hard work! This young lady from the Blood Spirit River Spirit Tin Sect, is there something you're unhappy about? Hahaha..."

Little True Lord laughed loudly, but the next moment, his smile suddenly froze on his face.

A silver figure flew out from the cold mist, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight for Little True Lord.

"How is this possible? How could she be completely unharmed!"

Lu Li's chest rose and fell slightly, and a layer of light silver array patterns had appeared around her without her noticing. The Qi-Harmony Cauldron hummed, and the spirit core inside it was operating at its maximum.

[Six-Turn Golden Spirit Core - Diamond Sutra]!

The attack that Little True Monarch just delivered was clearly at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Crafting Realm. If Lu Li relied solely on her fifth-level physical body, she would certainly have had difficulty withstanding it. However, Lu Li's reliance was far more than that; she also possessed a sixth-level Golden Spirit Core.

Back then, Ying Wange used this spiritual core to activate the Three Phases Altar, not only fighting against five opponents single-handedly, but also forcefully breaking Lu Li's Blessing Return to the Void Seal.

Now, this golden spirit core is once again displaying its divine power.

Due to limitations in her cultivation level, Lu Li was unable to fully unleash the power of the golden spirit core when she first activated it.

Not content with this, Lu Li used the power of the unity of all people in the Divination Cave to deduce and improve this defensive divine power. Although it still could not fully exert its power, the defense of this move increased by a full 30%.

Right now, countless eyes are on this place. With the eyes of those powerful beings, they can surely see that she possesses a Golden Spirit Core.

Six-turn golden spirit cores with the suffix "Diamond Sutra" are rare, and using them directly would inevitably arouse suspicion. The pale silver runes around her body were actually a smokescreen, which is why she dared to use this move in full view of everyone.

As for the Guixu Seal, that thing makes too much noise and is highly recognizable. Lu Li will not use it in front of others unless absolutely necessary.

Since learning the protective qi, Lu Li has rarely used this move because there has been very little opportunity. Before, when she fought alongside the Qingmai Yan Clan, she mostly hid in the back and threw the Guixu Seal into the enemy ranks in front.

This is the first time I've used my protective aura in front of everyone.

This move shocked everyone, and Ren Yuanzi was completely dumbfounded.

"You...you're even willing to give her a sixth-level golden spirit core? What exactly are you trying to do?"

That's a sixth-level golden spirit core, a rare treasure even for cultivators in the Void Refining Realm.

Mu Qingque had not participated in the battle at Canglan Blessed Land, and even she did not know where Lu Li's sixth-rank golden spirit core came from. But since she had let Lu Li participate in the conference, she had long been prepared to be Lu Li's shield.

Therefore, it is only natural to say:

"Hmph, a mere sixth-level Golden Spirit Core, her goal is to win the championship."

"You're the first person to dare challenge the True Lord of Retreat."

"So tell me, should I send her a message now, telling her to run away?"

Ren Yuanzi remained silent for a long time. In the past, he thought that Lu Li had no chance of winning, but after Lu Li showed his sixth-level golden spirit core, his thoughts changed.

The reward for the leader of the Human Group is the right to mine ten fourth-grade spirit mines for a hundred years. The benefits are immeasurable. If used properly, it can definitely boost the power of the Spirit Tin Sect by a lot.

Let's take a gamble, what if it works?

As for the True Lord of Retreating Fire, everyone is a mid-tier power. Although the Tongxian Sect is slightly stronger than the Lingxi Sect, it is far from enough to make them fear it to the point of admitting defeat.

"Fine, go ahead and do as you please. It's good that young people are energetic, so I won't get involved."

Having said that, Ren Yuanzi ended the message transmission.

……

Meanwhile, in Xinghai Paradise.

The clash between Lu Li and Xiao Zhenjun intensified, transforming into two streaks of light that intertwined and collided repeatedly in mid-air, occasionally emitting thunderous roars.

Ordinary cultivators possess only a soul but lack a physical body, which severely impacts their strength. Furthermore, the souls of Heavenly Craftsmen are extremely fragile, and they are generally not used for direct combat.

The Tongxian Sect is proficient in the Dao of Souls, and the Tuihuo Zhenjun is a great master of the Dao of Souls. This little Zhenjun doesn't know what kind of puppet he used, but not only is his strength not diminished at all, but his methods are also extremely strange. His body can freely change between the real and the illusory.

Lu Li managed to land several punches with her little pink fists, but they were all neutralized by his ethereal soul form.

Lu Li remembered clearly that she had seen this guy from a distance before entering the Starry Sea Cave Heaven, and he clearly had a physical body at that time.

"He must have used some kind of supernatural power similar to astral projection; perhaps his true body is hidden somewhere?"

Chapter 341 Turning Point

Lu Li looked around, trying to find a weakness in her opponent.

Right now, she only has two ways to defeat her opponent.

Either find the opponent's true form, and the problem will be solved immediately, or use soul-path supernatural powers to slowly deplete the opponent's soul-path power.
