At the very center of the boundless sky, Ge Zai Long Hanshui stood still like a solitary peak that had stood for ten thousand years.
The scorching sun hung high, but the rays of sunlight that fell upon this Great Jing Ge Zai failed to imprint even a hint of brightness upon him.
Instead, they were repelled by the cold and stern aura emanating from Long Hanshui, forming only vague shadows around him.
These shadows enveloped him like a dark demonic domain containing a peerless Devil King, allowing no intrusion.
Li Hai, seeing him from afar, instantly discerned his personal interface: Character Name: Long Hanshui Rank Level: Zhengchuan Martial Arts → Eternal Overlord, Bloodline Divine Power → King Rank, Demonic Martial Arts → Incarnated Yao King Skills Possessed: "Heaven Piercing Method," "Eight-Armed Dragon King Art," "Combat Clone"
Trait Characteristics: 【Strong Soul Level 5】 【Alertness Level 5】 【Iron Body Level 5】 【Spiritual Focus Level 5】 【Technique Level 5】
【Virtualization Level 5】 【Empowerment Level 5】 【Self-Healing Level 5】 【Freezing Level 5】 【Flow Control Level 5】 【Claw Finger Level 5】 【Berserk Level 5】 【Wildness Level 5】 【Aquatic Level 5】 【Sexuality Level 5】 【Lightning Level 5】 【Accuracy Level 5】 【Domain Level 5】
【Illusion Level 5】 【Clone Level 5】
Strongest Fragments: None This Ge Zai's personal interface made Li Hai momentarily surprised.
This Ge Zai Long, surprisingly, had not cultivated any spell arts, focusing solely on the path of Martial Arts.
Moreover, the Demonic Martial Arts and Zhengchuan Martial Arts he cultivated had both reached the supreme Realm.
What surprised Li Hai even more was that Long Hanshui had only cultivated two Cultivation Techniques, yet he possessed an overwhelming number of Level 5 traits.
These two Cultivation Techniques were: one, Zhengchuan Martial Arts: "Heaven Piercing Method"; and the other, Demonic Martial Arts: "Eight-Armed Dragon King Art."
It is worth mentioning that this "Tyrant Level" Demonic Martial Cultivation Technique, the only one Li Hai had seen so far, had a final cultivation goal—
It was to transform oneself into a true King of Yao Beasts, a fierce Dragon that could conjure clouds and rain, overturn rivers, and stir up seas.
This also happened to confirm Li Hai's long-held speculation.
Long ago, he had speculated about the fundamental cultivation goal of Demonic Martial Arts.
It was very likely to use the Yao Beast Bloodline integrated into the body as a starting point, tracing back to the origin.
Ultimately, one would revert to the ancestral source of one's own Yao Beast Bloodline, thereby possessing the power, physique, and lifespan of that Yao Beast ancestor.
This was completely opposite to the cultivation tenets of Zhengchuan Martial Arts.
Therefore, cultivating both Martial Arts Systems to their peak was incredibly difficult, far more challenging than He Shengtian's cultivation as a dual-System Grandmaster.
Yet, Long Hanshui, who had no System to rely on, accomplished this heaven-defying feat.
Truly remarkable.
However, after Li Hai delved deeper into the contents of these two Cultivation Techniques and the differences and similarities between the two Martial Arts Systems' peak states, he fully understood why Long Hanshui had gone to such great lengths to master both Systems.
It was simply because the lifespan of an Eternal Overlord was one thousand years, while the lifespan of the Eight-Armed Dragon King, the ancestor of Yao Beasts, was three thousand six hundred years.
In short, it was simply to live longer.
As for "Combat Clone," it was a rare Clone type Divine Ability.
It could surprisingly split into five physical Clones with the same strength as the main body, sharing the same thoughts, and each lasting for a full quarter of an hour.
This... was simply a Divine Technique.
Although it lacked various flashy special additional abilities, this single effect alone was enough to uphold its reputation as a King Rank Divine Ability.
Li Hai naturally copied this Divine Ability and the two Cultivation Techniques from Long Hanshui immediately.
However, he did not immediately Cultivate them, nor did he plan to hastily push them to max Rank.
This was because Li Hai still wanted to accumulate more Strongest Fragments in the Grandmaster Realm.
At the same time, it was only after learning the Zhengchuan Martial Arts Cultivation Technique of this Eternal Overlord Long Hanshui that Li Hai was surprised to discover that the number of trait characteristics it could bring was explosively high.
Therefore, in a sense, practicing this one Cultivation Technique could almost be equivalent to dozens or even scores of Cultivation Techniques.
This situation couldn't help but make Li Hai form a conjecture in his mind.
And at this moment, Ge Zai Long had already crossed a thousand feet of sky to arrive on the arena.
Upon arriving, he looked at Li Hai with an extremely appreciative gaze and praised him, saying,
"Li Hai, I witnessed all your battles just now.
And your Realm Cultivation, hehe, truly incredible, an eighteen-year-old Grandmaster Great Perfection."
As soon as Long Hanshui uttered these words, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Some had speculated this fact before, but few believed it, or rather, they simply dared not believe it and could not accept it.
But now, with this fact personally stated by Great Jing's Ge Zai Long Hanshui, no matter how much everyone disbelieved it, they had no choice but to believe it.
And Junior Sister Ke Qing, who had slowly regained consciousness, was instantly struck as if by lightning upon hearing Long Hanshui's words, and she uncontrollably burst into tears:
"An eighteen-year-old Perfection Grandmaster, only eighteen years old—Senior Brother, how can Ke Qing avenge you?!"
On the other hand, Shan Xiuran's Junior Sister Dan Xiuxiu, even after hearing Long Hanshui's words, still had a face full of hatred and venom, seemingly unmoved.
She gnashed her teeth and whispered, "Li Hai, this girl will exhaust everything in her life to kill you!"
At the same time.
Long Hanshui on the arena was still speaking eloquently:
"Li Hai, I must say, you are truly a peerless Genius.
I dare say that in the history of Yu Continent spanning several millennia, it is impossible for anyone with greater talent than you to appear.
This applies to both Martial Arts and spell arts."
As soon as Long Hanshui uttered these words, everyone in the surrounding stands was once again in an uproar, followed by frenzied discussion.
The reason for their discussion was that Ge Zai Long's words were equivalent to saying—
Li Hai's Martial Arts talent and spell art talent were both—the best of all time, both—the strongest in history!
This evaluation was truly too high and too significant.
But Li Hai did not care about these at all; he directly asked,
"Ge Zai Long, when can I claim the rewards for the Tianjiao Ranking?"
Long Hanshui was immediately stunned, and everyone in the surrounding stands was also dumbfounded.
This... is he that direct?
Meeting one of the highest rulers of Great Jing, with no reverence at all? Not even a polite exchange?
"Hahaha~"
After a moment of pleasure, Long Hanshui shook his head and laughed, "Good kid, so straightforward, I like it, but—"
He said seriously, "However, this Tyrant Level Martial Arts Cultivation Technique might not be what you imagine it to be."
