"Break!"

After more than a month in the Time Hall, this day finally arrived as the most crucial moment in Lu Li's life.

In the past few days, he had prepared dry rations and hadn't even left his room. When he was hungry, he would come out to take a few bites of flatbread and drink some cold water. Today was the fourth day, which meant it had been over thirty days in the Time Hall.

His eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles around them, making him look like a giant panda.

The last layer of the dark-attribute barrier in the last acupoint of his first qi meridian was already on the verge of collapsing. The pitch-black true qi surged out from his dantian and swarmed towards that final dark-attribute barrier.

The first impact!

The second impact!

...

...

The ninety-ninth impact!

Pop!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came, and the barrier was broken!

"It's broken! Finally broken! Hahaha!"

Lu Li was so excited that he jumped up directly, dancing with joy, and tears streamed down his face.

"It's been almost three years! Finally, I've broken through it!" Lu Li was trembling with excitement.

He still remembered what Elder Yu Tong, who was in charge of the tests, had said, "I think you guys will never be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining in your lifetime..."

"Well, isn't it broken now? Hahaha!"

After being overjoyed for a quarter of an hour, Lu Li finally calmed down.

He couldn't wait to push his palm forward, and a cloud of black mist immediately surged out from his palm, hitting the pillar in front of him with a bang.

"Seems like it doesn't have much power?"

Looking at the black qi that dissipated in an instant, Lu Li was a bit dissatisfied.

With a thought, he switched to fire-attribute true qi and sent it out. This time, it finally left a shallow mark on the pillar, but it disappeared in an instant.

Lu Li knew that it was due to the rules of the Time Hall. Even if he demolished the entire hall, it would be restored immediately.

He tried several more times with different-attribute true qi until he had exhausted all the true qi in his dantian before stopping. Generally speaking, the attack power of wind-attribute and light-dark-attribute true qi was relatively lower.

The attack power of metal-attribute and thunder-attribute true qi seemed to be quite good.

Of course, it was also possible that he hadn't practiced any spells and couldn't guide the true qi properly.

After spending another half an hour or so, Lu Li restored all the true qi in his dantian and the first qi meridian. Then he left the Time Hall contentedly.

Only after coming out did he realize that it was already dark.

Stolen story; please report.

It was good to do things under the cover of darkness. The revenge that had been owed for two years should finally come to an end. Although he hadn't practiced any spells yet, he didn't want to wait any longer because he was going to leave for Tianjue Peak tomorrow, and he was afraid of unexpected situations.

He gently knocked on Chen Zhong's door. After a while, the door opened. It seemed that Chen Zhong hadn't gone to bed yet.

"Boss, what's the matter at this late hour?"

Lu Li closed the door behind him, pulled Chen Zhong to sit at the table, and said seriously, "Fatty, I'm planning to take revenge for Qin Shouren tonight. Do you want to come with me?"

"Revenge!" Chen Zhong trembled when he heard this and said excitedly, "You're finally willing to tell me!"

Lu Li nodded and told Chen Zhong his speculation word for word. At the same time, he admitted frankly that although he could barely be considered at the second level of Qi Refining, he didn't have a sure chance of winning. If Chen Zhong didn't want to, he could choose not to go.

After hearing this, Chen Zhong first blamed himself, saying bluntly that it was his fault that Qin Shouren had suffered. If he hadn't beaten Sun Zian, the other party wouldn't have brought people up the mountain. Then he resolutely said that no matter what, he would go with Lu Li.

Lu Li nodded and asked Chen Zhong to give him all his explosive talismans because only Chen Zhong could activate them.

Chen Zhong readily agreed.

After getting the explosive talismans, Lu Li rolled them up one by one. Because his ability to control objects was almost non-existent and he relied entirely on his true qi to support them, rolling them up like this would allow him to throw them farther.

After some planning, the two of them quietly slipped out of the courtyard under the cover of night.

They already knew where Sun Zian lived and cautiously made their way into Sun Zian's courtyard.

Sun Zian lived alone in his courtyard. At this time, all the lights were out, and it seemed that he had already gone to sleep.

Lu Li winked at Chen Zhong, asking him to wait outside the door of Sun Zian's room, and then he went up to knock on the door himself.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Who is it?" Sun Zian woke up when he heard the sound in the room.

"Brother Sun, it's me. I have a nice thing and want to give it to you..." Lu Li held an explosive talisman in each hand outside the door. His face was full of ruthlessness, but his tone was full of flattery.

"A nice thing?" Hearing Lu Li's voice, Sun Zian lit the lamp suspiciously and opened the door halfway.

"Son of a bitch, here's the nice thing!"

Suddenly, Lu Li sprang into action. He flicked his fingers, and the two wrapped talisman papers shot towards Sun Zian with a whoosh.

Boom!

Boom!

The door exploded.

Although Sun Zian had been very careful, he was still a step too slow and was blasted flying backwards.

Lu Li knew that Sun Zian had also eaten the immortal fruit, so these explosive talismans might not be able to kill him. So the moment Sun Zian flew backwards, he immediately pushed aside the broken door and chased after him.

Sure enough.

The moment he caught up, Sun Zian had already done a somersault and stood up. At the same time, he flicked his finger, and a yellow paper shot towards Lu Li's chest.

Boom!

Lu Li was blasted flying backwards, and his chest was charred black.

Just as he got up, Sun Zian had already rushed over. However, what greeted him were two more talismans.

Boom!

Boom!

With two loud explosions, Sun Zian was once again smashed heavily backwards. He had already been seriously injured before, and now after taking these two more hits, his clothes were completely torn, there were many dents in his flesh all over his body, and blood was gushing out of his mouth, looking extremely miserable.

"Kid, you've got some nerve!" Sun Zian's eyes were blazing with anger. Although he was in a miserable state, he didn't resign himself to fate and swung his fist at Lu Li.

"Fight me with fists!" A look of disdain flashed across Lu Li's face. When Sun Zian's fist was within three feet of him, he suddenly threw a punch.

With one punch, the air exploded.

Bang!

Crack!

The sound of the collision and the sound of bones breaking rang out simultaneously. Sun Zian let out a miserable cry, and his right arm drooped limply.

Lu Li didn't let up when he gained the upper hand. He stepped forward and punched Sun Zian's dantian.

With a click, Sun Zian flew back onto the bed and then spat out a mouthful of blood. His dantian was crippled.

Lu Li was about to strike again when Chen Zhong couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in in two or three steps. "Let me do it!"

He said as he grabbed Sun Zian by the waist, lifted him up forcefully, then bent his knee and smashed Sun Zian hard onto his knee, breaking Sun Zian's spine into two pieces with a crack.

"Ah—!"

Sun Zian's miserable cry was ear-piercing. Besides pain, there was deep fear on his face. He simply couldn't understand why Lu Li and Chen Zhong would be so ruthless to him.

Chen Zhong didn't intend to let him go just like that. His fist as big as a sandbag was about to smash Sun Zian's head when Lu Li grabbed him. "Wait."

Sun Zian was lying on the ground moaning. When he saw that Lu Li stopped Chen Zhong, he immediately had a strong desire to survive. While spitting blood, he begged with difficulty, "Let me go. I'll give you all my things..."
