Main Protagonist
couldn't use his qi, his physique was sufficient to clash against a low-level Reincarnation Realm martial artist's all-out attack.
Of course, right now, he could only resist against a 2nd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist's attack.
His body was only left with around 800 strands of dragon elephant power.
Once his dragon elephant power was fully depleted, then Li Fuchen would only be able to defend the all-out attack from a 1st level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.
Despite the case, it was simply a pipedream for a regular peak level Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist to break his defense.
"This kid is a body refinement martial artist. Furthermore, he is that type of formidable body refinement martial artist that can ignore the full strength attack of a regular peak level Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist." Far away, the blue-clothed elder had witnessed everything and was silently in delight.
With this kid here, there would be no need to worry about Luo Yan's life. But he wondered about the strength of this kid.
"Lao Si, don't bother about that kid, kill Luo Yan!" The husky man yelled.
(TL note: Lao Si is literally mean Old Fourth, so it means no.4 in the seniority)
How could he not see that Li Fuchen is a powerful body refinement martial artist?
But body refinement martial artists had a weak point, and that was their monotonous attack methods. Furthermore, their strength might not be as powerful as their defense.
"Understood, Boss."
The stout man was extremely enraged, but he knew clearly what was the mission this time.
Swish!
With a flash, the stout man charged at Luo Yan and wanted to kill her as quickly as possible.
"Treating me as though I don't exist?"
The stout man was very fast, but Li Fuchen was faster. He didn't even activate the dragon elephant power and was merely using his qi. With an instant burst of speed, he obstructed the stout man.
"Such speed."
The stout man was appalled and he quickly slammed a palm strike at Li Fuchen.
"Die!"
Li Fuchen blasted a fist that had the formidable power of qi gathered on the fist.
Huff!
The palm force was penetrated and Li Fuchen's fist constantly expanded in the eyes of the stout man.
Exploding like a watermelon, the stout man's head burst open. Fresh blood and brains splattered towards the back and he was immediately dead.
"What? Killing in a single fist?"
The blue-clothed elder and the green-clothed man were astonished.
The husky man and the two other black-clothed peak level Heaven Dipper Realm men were also shocked.
Luo Yan was similarly stunned as well.
Li Fuchen might be disfigured, but from his looks, he couldn't be more than 30 years of age. Such talent and strength was even rare in the South Forest Martial Institution.
"Damn it. Retreat!"
The husky man made a prompt decision and announced for the retreat.
In just a short moment, the black-clothed men had all retreated, leaving behind a few corpses.
"Many thanks for saving my life. I wonder what is benefactor's name?" Luo Yan wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and expressed her gratitude.
"Li Fuchen."
"Young Hero Li, I am Luo Song, this is Luo Yu. Thank you for the assistance earlier." The blue-clothed elder and the green-clothed man walked over and expressed their gratitude as well.
If Li Fuchen wasn't here, Luo Yan would have certainly be killed and they would have no way to explain to the Clan Head and the Elder Clan Head.
"I simply couldn't ignore injustice when I encounter it."
Li Fuchen had rescued Luo Yan for two reasons. Firstly, it was to uphold righteousness. Secondly, he wanted to understand more about this unfamiliar continent.
If this Luo Clan could casually send out two peak level Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists, then they shouldn't be a minor clan. It would give him some help to understand this unfamiliar continent.
"I have no way to repay the favor of saving my life. I wonder if you are willing to be a guest at my Luo Clan. My Luo Clan will definitely treat you with hospitality." Luo Yan invited.
Hearing what was said, the blue-clothed elder and the green-clothed man had also nodded.
Li Fuchen was still young and had the strength to instantly kill a regular Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist. It meant that he wasn't a regular individual and if the Luo Clan could build a relationship with him, it would be a good thing.
"Sure." Li Fuchen intentionally hesitated a little and nodded immediately after.
He must be too obvious or people might feel suspicious.
Just like this, Li Fuchen joined the fleet and headed towards the Rush Current City's Luo Clan with Luo Yan and the others.
Along the way, Li Fuchen had short conversations with everyone and gotten to know some useful information.
Firstly, this was the Violet Flow Kingdom's territory.
Secondly, the South Forest Martial Institution is the South Forest Region's only martial institution. If one wanted to enter that place, one required at least a 5-star bone frame. They would only occasionally take in those students with inferior bone frames but had astonishing innate potential.
Thirdly, the Luo Clan was one of the three major clans in the Rush Current City. The clan had two Reincarnation Realm martial artists.
"Violet Flower Kingdom?"
After knowing that this continent had kingdoms, Li Fuchen was rather surprised.
The East Unicorn Continent once had kingdoms too, but they were all extinguished.
As experts, none of them wished to be governed by kingdoms. Furthermore, kingdoms were handed down in succession and would be inherited by the royal descendants. This was something intolerable for the experts.
"This Violet Flower Kingdom should be extremely strong right!? I wonder if they have any absolute experts beyond the Battle Spirit Realm?"
This continent must have Battle Spirit Realm experts and Li Fuchen reckoned that there must also be absolute experts beyond the Battle Spirit Realm too. But he didn't know if the Violet Flower Kingdom had any.
The existence of the Violet Flower Kingdom surprised Li Fuchen, but the existence of the South Forest Martial Institution didn't really surprise him.
Martial institutions exist in the East Unicorn Continent too. But they were generally weak and were basically there to nurture talents for the sects.
But the South Forest Martial Institution had several Battle Spirit Realm experts and their influence were extremely powerful.
The thing that made Li Fuchen the most surprised was that Rush Current City actually had three major clans and every clan had Reincarnation Realm martial artists. What was this concept?
Back at the East Unicorn Continent, with the influence of a Reincarnation Realm martial artist, one could already be a sovereign of a region. But on this continent, a clan that had two Reincarnation Realm martial artists was only one of the three major clans of the Rush Current City.
Furthermore from the tonality of these people, Li Fuchen could hear that the Luo Clan was nothing special even if they had two Reincarnation Realm martial artists and it seemed to be the norm.
"I came from a foreign land. The city that your Luo Clan is situated in, is it a large city?" Riding the horse, Li Fuchen asked Luo Yan.
Luo Yan opened the curtain on the carriage and shook her head." The South Forest Regio has hundreds of cities and Rush Current City is only an ordinary city."
Hearing what Luo Yan said, Li Fuchen's face remained indifferent but his heart was extremely shocked.
A single region had hundreds of cities and every city had clans with overseeing Reincarnation Realm martial artists. Didn't it mean that a single region of this continent had the same strength as the entire continent of the East Unicorn Continent?。
This was when he had yet to include the Battle Spirit Realm experts.
"This is truly a fearsome continent." Li Fuchen said in his heart.
Subsequently, Li Fuchen had unintentionally gotten to know that the horse that he was riding on was called the Unicorn Wildebeest
Unicorn Wildebeest were natural spirit beasts and not converted from demonic beasts.
As a class 3 spirit beast, the Unicorn Wildebeest weren't adept at combat as speed was their strong suit. Coupling with their extraordinary stamina, they weren't inferior to Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists in terms of traveling.
Rush Current City was very far and it took one whole week for the group to arrive.
Glancing from a distance, a majestic city was occupying a huge land. Li Fuchen reckoned that this city was several times bigger than the Cloud Mist City and might even be bigger.
From the looks of it, this continent's cities were basically around the same size and there weren't any smaller cities.
"Young Hero Li, we have arrived at Rush Current City."
The blue-clothed elder Luo Song and the green-clothed man Luo Yu let out breaths of relief.
During the trip, their minds were all tensed up and afraid mishaps might happen.
The Luo Clan weren't situated inside Rush Current City but on the outskirts.
The ones residing in Rush Current City was the top of the three major clans, the Su Clan.
A moment later, they arrived at a highland that was in front of the Luo Clan.
Li Fuchen was riding on the horse and overlooking the massive building complex ahead of him. There were mountains and rivers and the occupied area was gigantic. It was just like a small-scale city.
"Young Lady and Elder are back."
A group of Luo Clan's martial artists went over to welcome.
"Yan'er, you are finally back!"
A figure soared from the Luo Clan's complex and flew over rapidly.
It was actually a martial artist at the 1st level of Reincarnation Realm.
"Father!" Luo Yan revealed a joyous expression.
Once the figure landed on the ground, he immediately hugged Luo Yan.
Luo Yan somewhat resembled this yellow-clothed middle-aged man.
"Clan Head." Luo Song, Luo Yu, and others quickly greeted with respect.
This person was none other than the Luo Clan Head, Luo Zhan.
After letting go of Luo Yan, Luo Zhan took a glance at everyone and his eyes paused on Li Fuchen for a short moment. He then immediately asked Luo Song, "Luo Song, is everything fine along the way?"
When hearing the question, Luo Song narrated the situation during the journey to Luo Zhan and also introduced Li Fuchen.
"It must be the Zhang Clan that is doing all these. Hmph, they better not let me find the chance, otherwise, I will return them an eye for an eye." Luo Zhan gritted his teeth. If Li Fuchen wasn't around, the consequences would be unthinkable.
As Luo Zhan spoke, he cupped his hands towards Li Fuchen, "Young Hero Li, many thanks for your assistance. My Luo Clan owes you a favor. Please reside in our Luo Clan for a period of time, otherwise, I wouldn't feel good."
"Clan Head Luo is too polite." Li Fuchen cupped his fist too.
"Young Hero Li, this way please." Luo Zhan used his right hand to invite with a sincere attitude.
After Luo Zhan and the others entered, Li Fuchen followed behind.
The moment, Li Fuchen entered the Luo Clan, he felt his body passing through a layer of ripple and it felt mystical.
"There is actually a protection array?"
Li Fuchen finally understood how fearsome this continent was. Even an ordinary city's clan had protection array. Even if their foundation wasn't comparable to the Azure Water Sect, it wouldn't be that far off.
After entering the Luo Clan, there was concentrated heaven and earth qi which hit onto Li Fuchen's face. It seemed like the concentration was five times more than the outside world.
"Apart from the protection array, there is also a qi gathering array enveloping the Luo Clan."
On the East Unicorn Continent, only the top ten elite factions would have qi gathering array. It could gather the qi within the radius of dozens of
miles
2
miles
1 Chinese mile = 500 meters
to a hundred miles away.
The interior of the Luo Clan looked incredible. Along the way, Li Fuchen saw a small herb garden.
The herb garden was planted with mystic class herbs.
The East Unicorn Continent's land was barren and even mystic class low and mid-tier herbs were extremely rare. Mystic class high and peak-tier herbs were basically only found in hidden domains.
This small herb garden was filled with mystic class low and mid-tier herbs. Even though there wasn't a single stalk of high-tier herb, it was still astonishing.
"I feel like a country bumpkin." Li Fuchen let out a bitter smile.
After going through multiple pavilions, Luo Zhan paused and spoke to Luo Yan, "Yan'er, bring Young Hero Li for a stroll in the Luo Clan. I will also leave it to you for his residence arrangements."
"Yes, Father."
Luo Yan revealed a smile and said to Li Fuchen, "Li Fuchen, this way please."
"Sure." Li Fuchen nodded.
After seeing the duo leaving, Luo Zhan and the others headed to the Luo Clan's main hall.
The ambush this time wasn't a small problem and had to be treated seriously. Furthermore, repaying the favor to Li Fuchen was also another matter and they must let him be disappointed.
