Chapter 726: A Mad Invitation
Qi Honglei returned to the resting hall and was greeted by a round of enthusiastic applause. There was not yet a particularly distinct divide between superpowered individuals and ancient martial artists in Great Xia. The social class barriers within Great Xia were not as rigidly stratified as those in Jiepeng.
Qi Honglei was cool. He merely gave a slight nod to the crowd before taking a seat to the side, crossing his arms in silence. A sense of disappointment filled his heart.
The reason he had come to this exchange event was to challenge Oniba Henzō, the strongest Sword Saint of Jiepeng. He had hoped that he could make a breakthrough through their battle, glimpse the mysteries of the Sky People and take another step forward on the path of martial arts.
However, due to the sudden change in the event's restrictions, precautions had to be taken to prevent casualties among their ancient martial artists. As a result, he had stepped into the ring in the previous match.
To his dismay, the one who faced him was not Oniba Henzō but a mere disciple of the Sword Sect, someone who was not even worth mentioning.
How exactly could I break through the limits of martial arts and reach the legendary Realm of the Sky People?
Qi Honglei sank into deep thought. Still, Li Xiaofei’s display had shocked him immensely. At the same time, he began to suspect that this overly young regiment leader might actually hold the answers he sought.
The unbelievable abilities he demonstrated, reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones, weren't these the very miracles that the so-called celestial beings, who had unraveled the mysteries of the Sky People, were said to perform?
Meanwhile, the terrifying display of lightning energy from the young man named Li Guorui in the arena had also caught Qi Honglei’s attention. This aligned with his theory. Perhaps what people called the awakening of superpowers was merely mortals unintentionally touching upon the laws of heaven and earth, thereby gaining a fragment of the Great Dao’s power.
If explained through the cultivation system he practiced, these superpowered individuals were likely beings with unique bloodlines, who were naturally attuned to different laws of the universe.
