The moment he saw the old man, all of his personal interface information was displayed before Li Hai’s eyes.

Strongest Fragment: 1
The various blade arts Cultivated by this person each possessed unique abilities.
For example, “Flash Void” primarily focused on movement techniques and agility, “Sunfall” was a pure area-of-effect attack for clearing minor enemies, “Overlord Soul” was a technique for Cultivating the physique and mind, and “Poisonous Intent” was a rare poison-based blade art.
As for “Nine Ascensions to Heaven,” it was a berserker-type skill similar to a burst.
However, among all these blade arts, what Li Hai was most interested in was the Divine Ability this person possessed: Steel Thorn Bone Spike.
The reason he was interested was that this Divine Ability was surprisingly similar to Kimimaro Kaguya’s ‘Shikotsumyaku’ Bloodline Limit in “Naruto.”
Its specific effects allowed for the free growth of various bone spears, bone blades, bone armor, and bone shields, which could then be controlled. The hardness of these bone implements could also be freely adjusted, and it also possessed a certain degree of self-healing ability.
However, compared to Kimimaro, this person’s bone creation and control ability was clearly much stronger.
Because the Materials required for his bone implements were none other than the vast Qi of heaven and earth.
Therefore, as long as the external heaven and earth Qi existed, there was no cost for him to create bone implements; he could create as many as he wanted.
Furthermore, the regeneration ability brought by this Divine Ability was terrifyingly strong, actually pushing the old man’s 【Self-Healing】 trait to a Level 4.
For those with this Level of self-healing ability, basically, as long as the head and brain were not severely damaged, all other types of injuries were acceptable.
In short, extremely troublesome.
But now, this troublesome Divine Ability had already been fully absorbed by Li Hai, yet the old man remained blissfully unaware.
“Not bad.”
Looking at the old man a thousand zhang away, Li Hai, who had learned all his skills, smiled and said, “Old fellow, since I stepped into the Xia Alliance Martial World, you are the only Perfect Grandmaster I have ever seen.”
“Grandmaster? Hehe, so you are from the Jing Dynasty.”
The old man at the top of the tall tower also smiled, “But here, this Realm should be called Peak Legend.”
Saying that, he unsheathed a long, narrow golden blade from the scabbard on his back with a clang, and his tone turned cold: “Outsider, as a Peak Legend, as a Martial Path Senior, you relied on the Realm difference to kill so many people from my sect. Don’t you think you are being a bit too much of a bully?!”
“I don’t think so.”
Li Hai shook his head and said, “If you say I bully the weak, then I truly have nothing to say, but to say I bully the young and small— hmm, actually, I’m only eighteen this year.”
“What?!”
The old man was stunned, “Eighteen? You—are you perhaps lying to this old man?!”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Li Hai pouted, “Anyone who can reach the Perfect Grandmaster Realm is a Genius. What’s wrong with being eighteen? It’s just that my Cultivation speed is a little faster, that’s all. Anyway, I’ve never been proud.”
“This old man allows you to be proud!”
The old man looked at Li Hai from afar with an extremely appreciative gaze, then sighed with complex emotions:
“Young friend, your Qi is indeed very vibrant, without any trace of decay. You did not lie.
Alas, if this old man could have met you earlier and taken you as a disciple, how wonderful that would have been.
My sect would surely have been promoted to the fourth Martial Forest Holy Land within the Xia Meng (Chivalrous Alliance) under your leadership. What a pity, what a pity.”
His expression suddenly turned cold: “Although it is indeed a great pity if a talent of your Aptitude were to unfortunately perish here.
But as the Sect Leader of Knife Soul Valley, I, Yuwen Shi, must avenge the fallen disciples!
So, even if it means burying a peerless Genius of the Martial World, I will not hesitate!”
After speaking, he was about to make a move.
“Don’t be in a hurry, old man.”
But at this moment, Li Hai suddenly interrupted him, “Before we start fighting, I want to ask two questions, just in case I accidentally kill you if I can’t hold back. Wouldn’t that make my trip pointless?
That won’t do.”
“Accidentally kill me? Hahahaha, what an arrogant young man.”
Yuwen Shi laughed heartily, then said, “Alright, ask away. This old man will tell you everything I know.”
“Good.”
Li Hai nodded, “Do you know—where the Xuan Dynasty Remnants’ lair is located? Do you know any information about a person named Anping Xi?”
“Xuan Dynasty Remnants? Anping Xi?”
Mulling over these two terms, Yuwen Shi slowly said, “I have never heard of this Anping Xi in my life, but I do know a little about the Xuan Dynasty Remnants.

“Oh? That’s great then.”
Li Hai’s eyes lit up, “Senior, please tell me quickly. This Junior is all ears.”
“Not bad, truly not bad.”
Yuwen Shi praised again with an appreciative look, “Changing faces as easily as breathing, able to be so shameless to achieve a goal, and possessing such world-shaking Martial Path Aptitude. Truly an excellent candidate for a Sect Leader.”
“Let’s not talk about these useless things anymore.”
Li Hai said indifferently, “Senior, you should quickly and honestly tell me everything you know.”
“No hurry, no hurry.”
Yuwen Shi smiled, “It’s not too late to tell after we determine the victor.”
“Hmm? No, that’s not right!”
Li Hai first frowned, then secretly thought, “I miscalculated, I was too hasty.”
He instantly understood.
This cunning old man had clearly seen his eagerness and concern regarding the Xuan Dynasty Remnants’ information.
So he used this as leverage to manipulate him, wanting him to be hesitant and unable to use his full strength.
Although a bit annoyed, he had to admit that the old man’s strategy was correct.
Li Hai was indeed afraid that he might accidentally kill the opponent, thereby losing the clue to the Xuan Dynasty Remnants.
Especially since the heaven and earth Qi in this Martial World was so chaotic, constantly stimulating Li Hai’s Battle Intent to surge and his killing intent to soar.
It caused him to now constantly need to control himself, control his methods and strength so as not to be too ruthless or go overboard, lest he ruin important matters.
“This is really troublesome.”
Li Hai narrowed his eyes, looking at the smiling Yuwen Shi in the distance, and smiled coldly, “In that case, I can only beat you half to death and control you, then interrogate you properly.”
“Beat this old man half to death? Hahahahaha.”
Yuwen Shi laughed uproariously, then said coldly, “Aside from Eternal Overlord and Martial Arts Myth, no one in this world can treat this old man so lightly, young friend, you are too arrogant.”
After speaking, he shattered the tall tower beneath his feet and swiftly charged towards Li Hai, a thousand zhang away, accompanied by layers of grey-white sonic barrier clouds.
