Chapter 578: 0367 Nine Oxen Unloading Ridge, Two Tigers Move Mountains! Supersonic Fist! (4k requests for monthly ticket and subscription)

"Tamil, you actually failed the assassination."

"No choice, this little guy’s perception is too keen. Do we continue the assassination?"

"Continue, the client wants us to eliminate him before he becomes a Grandmaster."

"I’ll keep trying my luck... but with so many contestants, it’s hard to come across Lu Chenzhou again."

...

The next day.

Lu Chenzhou wasn’t in a hurry for the competition.

In the Master’s Circuit, with over ten thousand people, how many are Black Knights?

Beyond their facades, how many harbor killing intent towards me, wanting to seize this opportunity to "accidentally kill" me?

These things are all unknown.

Moreover, as his points increase, the opponents he will face in the future will only get stronger, and he might encounter Tamil again.

He contacted the Northern Guardian King using the Lighting Order.

"What’s the matter?"

"Senior, I suspect that the All Nations Martial Arts Competition has Black Knights mixed in."

"No need to suspect... there are indeed, over a dozen martial artists have already died due to deliberate assassinations. However, the actual number of assassination attempts is even higher; it’s just that since they are all of the same realm, most can surrender and escape. By the way, who’s the Black Knight that targeted you?"

"Hand of Destruction·Tamil."

"It’s actually him. Escaping his grasp is impressive. Let me contact the Po Suo authorities to see if we can track down Tamil’s whereabouts. But don’t hold too high hopes; these Black Knights, having dared to launch assassinations, must have everything well-prepared, their true identities hidden away in some remote place."

"Can’t the All Nations committee restrict these people from entering the Battle Realm?"

"Right now, the Battle Realm’s operating rules were all set by my master before he secluded himself. Our All Nations committee can only execute them; all Battle Realm rules, instructions, and permissions are with my master. With his wisdom, he must have foreseen this... you understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand, this is a trial for us."

"That’s just one aspect... Mainly, it’s to gather and project the information and abilities of Black Knights involved in assassination operations during this competition, let them have their moment for now. Half a year later, we will take the initiative and offer bounties on those people, letting some of our pawn contestants kill them before they surrender, to curb the arrogance of Carefree Travel and Blood Hidden Tower."

Actually, accidents or even deaths in the competition are quite normal.

How can you differentiate between deliberate and accidental injuries or killings? That’s a puzzle in itself.

Therefore, to this day, although martial artists have died, everyone hasn’t paid much attention.

Lu Chenzhou contacted his friends and family, warning them to be cautious. It’s best for everyone to wear a piece of low-class spiritual artifacts to counter Po Suo’s Black Knights. Those lacking battle merits can borrow from him and return them later, as low-class artifacts aren’t expensive. He also suggested those with time should start practicing the "Heart Sutra."

Hearing about Lu Chenzhou’s encounter, everyone was indignant yet helpless.

Black Knights, like flies and mosquitoes, though weak, are hard to eliminate.

...

In the practice room, Lu Chenzhou contemplated strategies.

The competitions must continue after all; not all enemies are Grandmasters, so it’s not like he will lose his nerve.

"It would be better if I had the Nine Mountains Mysterious Robe."

The True Gang Robe not only defends against physical attacks but can also resist spiritual attacks to some extent.

His Cloud Mist Clothes are still too low in grade.

"Tamil is strong, but if I find his hiding place, at close range, it’s uncertain who will prevail."

Such is the extreme nature of Po Suo Heart Cultivation.

Once they hide and play dirty, it’s challenging to deal with.

In a frontal confrontation, unless he can instantly kill Lu Chenzhou, Lu Chenzhou can instantly kill him.

Heart cultivation, even if cultivated to the Seventh Realm, hasn’t rid itself of physical dependency.

A single shot through Tamil’s head, no matter his capabilities, spells his death.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chenzhou opened the War Merit Store.

[Fantian’s Arrow, Intermediate Spiritual Artifact, 50,000 war merits, boosts spiritual defense, unleashes spiritual attacks...]

"Safety first, buy it! With my current strength, I can surely earn it back later."

If nothing else, if he can enter the top 100 of the All Nations Martial Arts Competition,

Da Xia will reward him with an extra 200,000 war merits, with higher rankings earning even more rewards.

First on the Earth List even gets a Top Class Divine Weapon reward, plus any Earth Grade treasure of choice.

That day, the new spiritual artifact arrived.

Lu Chenzhou opened the box to reveal a small carved bone arrow, adorned with the image of Creator God of Po Suo·Fantian.

He immediately tied it to his waist, and after some consideration, removed the Cold Cicada Robe.

In fact, the vestment robe had recently advanced to Intermediate level, and the released Cold Ice Armor could even withstand a Grandmaster’s strike.

However, the Cold Ice Armor’s cooldown time is too long, only usable a few times a month.

Most times, its normal physical defense capability is inferior to the Yaksha Sea Flipping Armor.

One is an inner lining, the other is scale armor, incomparable.

...

The 34th day of the competition.

In a snow mountain valley.

The mountaintop is snow-capped, while the mountain base is lush with green grass, with streams trickling.

A scrawny figure, hands clasped in meditation, sat cross-legged in the void, relying on a magic carpet floating in the sky.

His name was Kafar, a Middle Realm spiritual master, releasing telekinesis perception exceeding 1000 prajna, searching below for his enemy.

"Found you!"

Upon hearing Lu Chenzhou’s voice behind him, Kafar’s expression shifted slightly.

A silhouette, man and spear merged as one, shot toward him like a stream of light, locking onto him with its Qi mechanism.

"Vajra Wings!" Kafar formed seals with his hands, as vast spiritual power formed a pair of golden wings, enclosing to protect his body.
