Looking at the muscular man’s fervent gaze, Yang Xiangdi shuddered.

He never imagined he could attract someone without shedding any fat.

Yang Xiangdi looked down at his two-hundred-kilogram frame, standing like an upright pig. Every step produced wobbly folds of fat. Even the market aunties would joke that the boss should slice off half of him.

Could this even be considered chubby? Did this lunatic have some kind of misunderstanding about what chubby meant?

“Not meant for me! Goodbye!”

Yang Xiangdi turned and fled. He had no interest in fighting up close and personal.

He used the Five Elements Fusion Technique, and Yang Xiangdi's heavy body disappeared before the muscular man's eyes.

The muscular man rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“That’s strange... Am I seeing ghosts?”

The muscular man scratched his head. Unable to figure it out, he began flexing his muscles again, attempting to attract the attention of the divine envoy within the bronze hall.

After Yang Xiangdi returned to Ma Fei and Zhao Ziyue, he told them his speculation.

Ma Fei was shocked. Then his expression changed. The solemn and worried look transformed into one of relief.

“Okay, since he’s safe, I’ll be going!”

Ma Fei sheathed Worryless Sword and turned to leave.

He didn't want to see Qiao Yu, much less thought about what state he should meet Qiao Yu.

It was fine just now, he could say he came to save Qiao Yu.

But now Qiao Yu didn’t look like he was in danger, so Ma Fei naturally couldn’t convince himself to stay.

“Ma Fei…”

Yang Xiangdi hesitantly raised his hand, but after thinking about it, he lowered it.

This matter required Ma Fei to figure it out himself.

“Sorry, Yang Xiangdi, I will try my best to help Ma Fei figure it out.” Zhao Ziyue gave an apologetic look and quickly chased after Ma Fei.

“Okay… You help him figure it out, maybe he will.”

Yang Xiangdi waved his hand, a helpless expression on his face.

Don't advise others to be kind when you haven't experienced their suffering.

Only Ma Fei himself knew the entanglement and discomfort in his heart.

All he could do was quietly give Ma Fei some care.

Inside the bronze hall.

Qiao Yu remained unresponsive, as if rooted to the spot, standing motionless, becoming a clay sculpture.

His eyes were closed, but his mind was a mess!

The scene in his mind continued to unfold. After the enormous giant split open the darkness, one after another, terrifying demon gods appeared, each one's power suffocating Qiao Yu!

Qiao Yu vaguely felt that even a Saint-level expert would be as weak as an infant before these demon gods.

However, these terrifying demon gods couldn’t withstand a single axe from the giant!

Every axe strike annihilated a demon god.

Each axe contained the purest physical power, captivating Qiao Yu.

He never imagined that pure physical strength could be so powerful. This was the most primitive Law of Power!

He didn’t know how long had passed, maybe a century, maybe a millennium.

The demon gods, with their ferocious faces and overwhelming auras, were all killed by the giant one by one.

A vast and ancient aura spread out, rushing straight into Qiao Yu’s mind.

“Law… Law of Power?”

Qiao Yu murmured to himself. With his current strength, he couldn't possibly grasp the power of Law.

But this creation of the world within the five-colored altar undoubtedly showed Qiao Yu a clear path. His control over his physical strength reached a new level at this moment.

With his eyes closed, Qiao Yu tightly gripped the Zhulong Crescent Blade, as if guided by some unseen force, and gently slashed forward.

Rumble!

This time, not only the void but even the five-colored altar in front of Qiao Yu was directly split in two!

Scholar Ghost’s pupils constricted. Under the impact of this blade, even his ghost body dimmed slightly, but his face was filled with irrepressible ecstasy.

“One of the ten ancient Laws… the Law of Power! Although it's just a glimpse, and he hasn't grasped it at all, but this kid is only at the high-level… What terrifying talent is this? Even the offspring of gods are nothing more than this!” Scholar Ghost muttered to himself.

After unleashing this blade, Qiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in their depths!

He vaguely felt that even without using other methods, he could now wrestle with a King-level expert with his physical strength alone!

“Scholar Ghost, how much time has passed?” Qiao Yu asked.

“Um… not long, about a quarter of an hour.” Scholar Ghost tilted his head slightly and replied.

“Only a quarter of an hour?”

Qiao Yu clicked his tongue. The scene that unfolded in his mind felt like thousands of years, but in reality, only a quarter of an hour had passed?

Then, when the corner of Qiao Yu’s eye caught sight of the five-colored altar that had been split in two, he was instantly stunned, and then he let out a heart-wrenching wail.

“Who the hell did this? I curse him to have a son without an asshole!”

This five-colored altar was clearly a super treasure. Qiao Yu couldn’t understand which prodigal son could split this thing in two.

“Have you considered the possibility that you did it just now when you closed your eyes and swung your blade?” Scholar Ghost said quietly.

“…So it was me who split it, then never mind.” Qiao Yu forced out a smile that was more ugly than crying. It was a lie to say he didn't feel heartache about such a good treasure.

But fortunately, he had deeply engraved the scene of the enormous giant splitting open the endless darkness with a single axe into his heart.

However, the power contained in that axe was too profound. The current Qiao Yu simply couldn't understand it and could only leave it for future study.

“Alright! Since there’s still time, let’s do something fun~” Qiao Yu turned his worry into joy, a kind smile appearing on his face, as he had a bold idea in his heart.

Taking advantage of his recent understanding of power, Qiao Yu took the opportunity to spread this power toward the outside of the bronze hall.

Outside the bronze hall, everyone who felt this power instantly widened their eyes.

Everyone craned their necks and waited. They all had a hunch that the inheritor of the divine envoy Hermes was about to be decided!

Sure enough, a缥缈yet majestic voice soon came from the hall.

“The selection of the inheritor begins! Those who practice long spear, step forward!”

Upon hearing this, the expression on Kyle’s face was first stunned, then irrepressible ecstasy. Among the four King-level experts present, he was the only one who was a spear cultivator!

What he didn’t notice was that Xing Cang and Meng Qing behind him secretly exchanged glances, their eyes filled with gloom.

The voice in the hall sounded again.

“Those whose cultivation has reached the King level, enter the hall!”

Kyle’s joy increased upon hearing this, and his breathing became very rapid. He could even clearly hear the sound of his heart beating wildly.

The inheritance of the divine envoy Hermes, one of the twelve main gods! Was actually going to fall into his hands! He was indeed the son of destiny!

Kyle no longer hesitated, directly pushed open the hall door and walked in. Then the bronze hall door slammed shut! Isolating everyone else outside. No one knew the situation inside the bronze hall.

“Hello, divine envoy! I am Kyle Robert, the son of the Western Alliance’s God Emperor! A level 42 King-level spear cultivator! I am very honored to be able to become your inheritor.”

Kyle suppressed the excitement in his heart and gave a very standard Western aristocratic etiquette to the semi-transparent figure in the center of the hall.

Unexpectedly, the semi-transparent figure grinned at him.

“Become my inheritor? You are not worthy, but I admire you very much. I can accept you as my lackey.”

Kyle was directly stunned by this sudden change. Before he could react, the semi-transparent figure spoke again, this time the voice became majestic and ethereal again.

“The divine envoy altar has been broken! The Lord of Inheritance has appeared! This wisp of my remnant soul should also dissipate! May the Lord of Inheritance Kyle Robert make good use of my Hermes’s powerful strength to benefit the world!”
