Chapter 8

The matter of the Ice Abyss quickly faded from Lu Li's mind. As Lu Ling had said, with so many powerful experts from the super families, what could possibly go wrong?

Even if something did happen, there would be important figures to handle it. Wuling City was not just home to the third-rank family, the Liu Family, but also several second-rank families. In the worst case, there were tribal chiefs and warriors. The entire Wuling County had no shortage of Xuanwu Realm warriors.

Lu Li went to Broken Blade Ridge to continue pulling the ancient coffins. Today, Liu Wu didn't show up, and there were far fewer powerful guards. Miss Yi personally led the guards on patrol.

Miss Yi promised a reward for completing the task of pulling all the ancient coffins, which greatly increased everyone's enthusiasm. They all sped up.

Lu Li now had nearly 7,000 pounds of strength, and pulling a 3,000-pound ancient coffin was too easy for him. Ensuring the coffin didn't tip over, he ran at his fastest speed and had already pulled two coffins by the afternoon.

"Tonight, I'll refine two Body Tempering Pills. Tomorrow, I can pull three coffins!"

In the past, others chased after Lu Li, but now it was Lu Li chasing after them. Apart from a few peak Xuanwu Realm elders, no one else had finished pulling two coffins. Lu Li's strength was terrifying, and even mid-rank Xuanwu Realm warriors couldn't match him.

The rapid increase in Lu Li's strength left many of the coffin-pulling elders and the Liu Family guards in awe. However, the other elders only took Spirit Essence Pills and never considered Body Tempering Pills. In the eyes of all warriors, realm was always the foundation, and having brute strength alone was meaningless.

That night, after refining two Body Tempering Pills, Lu Li's strength increased by another 500 to 600 pounds. The next day, pulling the ancient coffins felt like pulling a small cart, and he ran at full speed, leaving many elders behind.

Three coffins!

Today, Lu Li pulled three coffins in total. Among all the coffin-pullers, only the three peak Xuanwu Realm elders could pull three coffins.

Many elders secretly sneered. There weren't many ancient coffins left, and if Lu Li continued at this pace, there might not be many left for them.

...

"The effect of the Body Tempering Pills is weakening!"

After refining three Body Tempering Pills overnight, he only gained 700 to 800 pounds of strength, leaving Lu Li somewhat disheartened. At the beginning, refining the first Body Tempering Pill had increased his strength by 500 pounds.

However, Lu Li's current strength was at least 8,500 pounds, and 10,000 pounds of strength was within reach.

His heart burned with excitement. Early in the morning, he prepared to pull four coffins today and then refine four Body Tempering Pills together to see how much strength he could gain.

"Three days!"

Lu Li calculated that in at most three days, he would have enough Body Tempering Pills to reach 10,000 pounds of strength, and then he could go to Wuling City to awaken his bloodline.

Bloodline Warrior!

That was the strongest warrior, and every bloodline warrior would be favored and recruited by major families. After awakening his bloodline, he could also cultivate Xuan Power, and the major families would surely vie to recruit him.

Finally, he could take his sister away from Dilong Tribe and no longer be bullied!

Thinking of this, a fierce fire burned in Lu Li's heart, and he felt incredibly invigorated. He hurriedly slung a sack over his shoulder and rushed out. As soon as he left the tribe, he sprinted forward.

"Huh? Someone!"

About three to four li away from the tribe, just as he was about to enter the mountains, he heard several hurried footsteps from the dense forest ahead. Lu Li immediately slowed down and stood aside to let the others pass.

"Whoosh!"

Three people ran over, turned a corner, and suddenly stopped, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Lu Li.

Dihu, Digu, and Diping!

What a small world. These three had delivered food and herbs to the outer area of the Ice Abyss for the Dilong Tribe a few days ago. It was so early, yet they still encountered each other.

Lu Li cursed his bad luck. These three had bullied him since childhood, beating him dozens of times. In the tribe, he least wanted to see these three.

It was just dawn, and the three seemed to have traveled through the night from the Ice Abyss, which was why they encountered each other.

Dihu had already walked over, his eyes filled with malice as he scanned Lu Li. "Oh, who's this? What's the little bastard doing up so early?"

Lu Li was in a hurry to pull the coffins and didn't want to cause trouble, so he forced himself to remain silent.

Digu, standing next to Dihu, chimed in, "What else? To pull coffins, of course. Hmph, this time, a few of our tribe members were bitten by mystic beasts, and it's all because this little brat is pulling coffins, affecting our tribe's luck."

At this, Diping's eyes turned red with hatred. "Right, my sixth uncle even lost a hand, all because of this little brat pulling coffins."

Lu Li's face darkened, but he didn't respond. Dihu felt a bit bored and was tired from the night's journey. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, ignore this omen of bad luck! He'll eventually kill his sister. But... that crazy woman's face is really pretty. If I could play with her before she dies, that would be great."

"Dihu!"

Insulting him was one thing, but Lu Li hated it when they insulted his sister. His face flushed with anger as he glared at Dihu. "Watch your mouth."

"Huh?"

Dihu's face, full of scars, twitched. Seeing several tribe members lose limbs to mystic beasts at the Ice Abyss, he was already seething with anger. How dare Lu Li challenge him?

He raised his large fist and coldly shouted, "What if I said it? Want to fight? Once my sixth uncle dies, no one will protect you and your sister. I'll definitely take her. Tsk tsk, your sister is crippled, but she has the right curves. Touching her would be..."

"Whoosh!"

Before Dihu could finish, Lu Li moved. Hearing Dihu's words about his sister, the years of suppressed anger finally burst forth.

Today, he decided not to hold back!

Diba had taken all the adults in the tribe to the outer area of the Ice Abyss to guard for a month. Lu Li's strength had greatly increased, and he now had over 8,000 pounds of strength. Most importantly, in at most three days, he would reach 10,000 pounds of strength. Lu Ling had said he would definitely awaken his bloodline and could cultivate Xuan Power.

Once he awakened his bloodline, he would surely be recruited by a major family. With that in mind, what did he have to fear?

"Bang!"

Lu Li ran like the wind and punched Dihu in the chest. His speed was too fast, and it was a surprise attack. Dihu didn't react in time and was hit hard, flying backward like a broken sack.

Fortunately, Lu Li didn't use his full strength, or Dihu's bones would have broken. Even so, Dihu flew back four to five meters and crashed into a giant tree before falling to the ground.

"Uh?"

Digu and Diping were stunned, then burst into anger. Dihu, who had been flying through the air, shouted, "You're rebelling! Everyone, attack! Beat this brat so he can't get out of bed for a month."

"Hmph!"

Lu Li was not afraid at all. He glared at the three and said coldly, "That punch was for insulting my sister. If you dare to attack, you'll bear the consequences."

"Whoosh!"

Digu and Diping thought Lu Li was talking nonsense. Diping's hand glowed as he used Xuan Power and punched Lu Li's chest hard.

Diping had only cultivated Xuan Power for a year and wasn't very talented, but he was still a Xuanwu Realm warrior. In Diping's eyes, Lu Li, who couldn't cultivate Xuan Power, was easy to suppress.

"This... is what you asked for!"

Lu Li's eyes flashed with determination as he raised his head and punched Diping's fist hard.

"Crack!"

A bone-breaking sound echoed. Diping had used Xuan Power, so Lu Li didn't dare to be careless and used about 70-80% of his strength.

With 8,500 pounds of strength, even 70% was 5,000 to 6,000 pounds, a terrifying force comparable to a boulder falling.

"Ahh..."

A pig-like scream echoed as Diping flew backward, his entire hand trembling and covered in blood. He rolled on the ground, shouting, "My hand is broken, my hand is broken!"

"This..."

Digu, who was about to charge forward, was shocked. When they were young, they often fought with Lu Li. Although Lu Li was brave, he was always easily beaten by the three.

In recent years, Lu Li had been suppressed by Lu Ling and hadn't had any conflicts with them. But the fact that Lu Li couldn't cultivate Xuan Power was undeniable.

Just now, there was no Xuan Power in Lu Li's hand. How could he have such strength and break Diping's hand with one punch?

"Get a knife, cripple him!"

Dihu roared from a distance. Diping's screams and the pain in his own chest made Dihu lose control.

Today, he didn't just want to keep Lu Li in bed for half a month; he wanted to cripple Lu Li's hands and feet.
