<div> Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Silent Shadow Concealment Array (3rd Update)
 After just a few moves against Mad Lion, Lu Yu already felt the opponent’s strength. The opponent was superior in both power and speed, and his martial arts techniques had reached an extraordinary level, making it impossible for Lu Yu to crush him using technique as he had done in the past.
 Unable to overpower with technique, Lu Yu found himself completely disadvantaged as his power and speed were suppressed. The opponent could rely on his superiority in these aspects to make up for weaknesses in technique and suppress Lu Yu.
 After a few moves, Lu Yu retreated from Mad Lion’s attack range, realizing that relying solely on his own strength, there was no hope in fighting him head-on.
 Lu Yu felt some pain in his arm. If he hadn’t cultivated into Ice Spirit Body and Fire Spirit Body, significantly increasing his physical defense, his arm might have already been fractured from the earlier collision.
 Now, he felt the muscles at the point of impact swelling, but under the effect of Qi Blood, they were quickly reducing swelling.
 Mad Lion found it unbelievable that after landing several hits on Lu Yu, the latter could still use his arm.
 Having cultivated Body Refining Technique, Mad Lion’s physical strength and power were much higher than Martial Cultivators of the same level. Martial Cultivators of the same level, in a bare-handed clash with him, would quickly lose combat capability.
 Yet, the seemingly weak-spirited Lu Yu managed to endure his repeated attacks, and his physical toughness made Mad Lion somewhat amazed, but also excited.
 Lu Yu’s high physical toughness indicated that he had trained with a superb Body Refining Technique. With Lu Yu being a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Body Refining Technique he possessed would surely surpass the ordinary ones circulating outside. Mad Lion was determined to obtain it.
 Mad Lion grew excited at the possibility of acquiring a high-quality Body Refining Technique. He felt that this mission was indeed worth it, extremely worth it!
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> Earlier, he had been somewhat dissatisfied being assigned to deal with Lu Yu, whom he deemed only at Qi Cultivation Level Two.
 But now, it seemed this mission would yield great rewards.
 Mad Lion’s lips slightly curled, revealing a hint of a smile as he rubbed his fist, put on his fist gloves imbued with Spiritual Power, and planned to seize that Body Refining Technique as soon as possible.
 "Damn it! What did you do? Give me the antidote!" Wu Ping’s face was covered in red marks from scratching hard, and while scratching his back, he angrily charged towards Lu Yu.
 He believed that Lu Yu had poisoned the room, causing him never-ending itchiness.
 Lu Yu felt his attack; with a slight move of his feet, he easily dodged Wu Ping’s attack without needing to look back.
 Wu Ping was tormented by the itchiness, unable to concentrate, and unable to wield his Qi Blood and Spiritual Power, rendering him incapable of forming effective or powerful attacks, thus posing no threat to Lu Yu.
 He ought to have gained his strength from rapidly leveling up through experience, possessing raw power without the refined mind to match. When in a disadvantaged position, he was unable to utilize his strength properly.
 Wu Ping was the kind of person who would strike hard against the weak but act meek and timid around the strong.
 Earlier, he thought Lu Yu was very weak, so he maintained a good mentality, and when staging a play with Huang Lao San, his expression was particularly realistic, his thinking extremely agile, easily discerning Lu Yu’s thoughts from his expressions.
 But now, his mentality shattered, obsessed only with resolving his itching problem, his mind wholly focused on forcing Lu Yu to hand over the antidote.
 "You want the antidote?" Lu Yu paused at hearing this and then smiled, "I’ll give it to you, catch!"
 He took a box from his backpack and tossed it at Wu Ping, who caught it without giving it much thought, opened it, and found inside a familiar Explosive Bomb.
 Upon seeing the Explosive Bomb, Wu Ping shuddered, his mind cleared, intending to throw it away. Then he remembered Huang Lao San saying he had tampered with the Explosive Bomb, stating that inputting Spiritual Qi would instantly ignite it.
 Lu Yu hadn’t been blown up, which meant the Explosive Bomb hadn’t been detonated. Thinking of this, Wu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, not lit—it’s okay.
 Mad Lion suddenly slapped the box in Wu Ping’s hand, grabbed Wu Ping by the collar, pulling him back angrily, shouting, "Are you insane? Holding a bomb, do you want to get blown to pieces?"
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Wu Ping was about to retort to Mad Lion, telling him the bomb had been tampered with, but then felt a heat wave from the front, sensed a familiar temperature, and immediately used Spiritual Power to cover his whole body, enhancing his defense.
 Boom! Once again, flames burst forth from the study, turning it into a sea of fire.
 Lu Yu had evaded in advance, so naturally, he wasn’t hurt by the attack he initiated. As soon as the explosion subsided, Lu Yu immediately flipped upstairs to search for the traces of Wu Ping and Mad Lion.
 Bang! The sturdy floor got shattered, and Mad Lion dragged Wu Ping up to the third floor, right as Lu Yu stepped into the room.
 Mad Lion tossed the heavily injured Wu Ping to the side, then walked towards Lu Yu expressionlessly. Wu Ping had blocked most of the explosion, leaving Mad Lion largely unharmed, though a few tufts of fur on his vest had been singed.
 "It seems you’ve discovered the tricks Huang Lao San pulled, but Explosive Bombs are ineffective against me. You’d better surrender, and I’ll give you a quick end." The golden light on Mad Lion’s glove flickered, and he delivered a straight punch.
 The golden light transformed into a beast lion charging at Lu Yu, who hurriedly performed "Eight Steps to Catch Cicadas" to dodge the attack, allowing the beast lion to punch through the wall behind Lu Yu, forming a smooth circular hole.
 "A mid-level gold Spiritual Weapon!" Lu Yu looked at Mad Lion’s glove, revealing a solemn expression.
 Mad Lion isn’t a Martial Cultivator of Qi Controlling Level. His ability to release Spiritual Power externally relies on the mid-level spiritual weapon in his hand. After being released, spiritual power cannot be directed, which is his greatest difference from Qi Controlling Level Martial Cultivators.
 However, the mid-level spiritual weapon gives him long-range attack capabilities, greatly enhancing his advantage.</div>
