Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Kailo stared at Wang Yi and suddenly burst out laughing. In a booming voice, he said, "Young man, level doesn’t represent true combat strength. You can see my level, can’t you? A level is just surface data. The same skills and the same techniques will produce completely different results depending on who’s using them."

Wang Yi didn’t respond. ’Since we’re already enemies, there’s no need for pointless talk. I’ll just kill him.’

He raised his hand, sending forth the Ice Soul Divine Sword. The Divine Sword shot straight for Kailo’s heart, but Kailo formed a strange Hand Seal. A gourd suddenly appeared before him, radiating a peculiar power that sucked the Ice Soul Divine Sword inside, neutralizing its might completely.

Kailo continued, "A level is just surface data provided by the system. In reality, experts don’t even look at levels! A level can be raised just by spending time learning and Enhancing skills. But blindly stacking skills only creates high-level trash. A true powerhouse is defined by their combat talent and personal fortitude!"

Wang Yi continued his assault. He unleashed the Qiankun Universe Blade, sending a swarm of Starlight Flying Swords to shred Kailo. But Kailo nonchalantly changed his Hand Seal. The gourd before him multiplied into nine, which scattered and absorbed every last one of the countless Starlight Flying Swords.

"Is that the Starlight Flying Sword? Not bad. If I’m not mistaken, this technique of yours must be derived from the Starlight Law. The Starlight Law is a very powerful Law. I once had the good fortune to meet a Divine King who specialized in both the Starlight Law and the Destruction Law. He had already refined seven strands of Destructive Starlight and used them as strings to forge an Ancient Zither with world-destroying power!"

As if deliberately showing off his worldliness, Kailo continued, "Young man, did you know that Destructive Starlight is a cosmic phenomenon on par with the Starlight River and the Star Vortex? It is the single brightest ray of light produced when a Divine Country is destroyed. In the hands of a Divine King who is proficient in the Starlight Law and Destruction Law, it becomes the most terrifying Divine Artifact imaginable!"

Wang Yi’s brow furrowed. With a cold snort, he asked, "Are you finished?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand. All eight of his Qiankun Universe Blades shot forth, and the Starlight Flying Swords instantly blotted out the sky as they launched an even more ferocious assault on Kailo.

Kailo let out a hearty laugh. He changed his Hand Formulas again and stomped his foot, causing a Golden Bell Illusion to appear around his body.

The Golden Bell Illusion was incredibly Solid, blocking every single Starlight Flying Sword.

Kailo’s voice somehow passed clearly through the dense barrage of sword images to reach Wang Yi’s ears. "Let’s continue our earlier conversation, young man. You might not agree with my perspective yet, but that’s fine. Once you’ve encountered enough true experts, you’ll understand. True strength lies in the person, not the level. The path to power isn’t about blindly stacking skills, nor is it about blindly Enhancing them. It’s about building a coherent skill system! And once you’ve built a skill system, you’re not far from creating your own unique class!"

’This guy really loves to hear himself talk,’ Wang Yi thought. Seeing that his basic Starlight River attacks couldn’t breach the man’s defense, he raised a hand to halt the assault. He sized Kailo up once more and said, "So, you’re saying you’ve already formed a skill system? Or maybe even created your own class?"

"Haha, something like that!" Kailo said. "So don’t be fooled by my level 460. I wouldn’t be afraid even against one of those types who just grinds levels, even if they were five or six hundred! You’re a newcomer, so your high level probably means you just learned a ton of skills. Take my advice: having too many skills is useless. Sometimes, it’s actually a burden."

"You really love to play the teacher, don’t you!"

"I’m just an old man who enjoys giving a bit of guidance to you youngsters!"

"Being preachy is being preachy. It’s just a form of arrogance and showing off!" Wang Yi said with disdain. "Besides, what you’re saying isn’t some profound secret. It’s just common sense. I have a principle of my own. Care to hear it?"

"Oh? And what principle might that be, young man?"

"My principle is simple. I don’t care about your combat talent or your clever tactics. Brute force breaks all schemes. Overwhelming power creates its own miracles! Take this!"

As he spoke, Wang Yi’s expression turned severe. His body instantly shot upward as the Great Spirit Mountain God manifested around him. Like an application of the Heaven and Earth Technique, his height instantly surpassed three hundred zhang. With his right hand, he snatched at the void, pulling forth the phantom of a giant axe. His eyes blazed as he swung it down.

"Hm?"

The self-proclaimed "teacher" Kailo froze, instinctively sensing a mortal threat. This time, he didn’t bother with Hand Formulas; instead, he retreated in a flash.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Wang Yi bellowed. A flash of light flared beside him, revealing a figure of white bone. It was Wang Zhenmo, the Divine Body formed from his Six-Character True Mantra True Demon Spell. Having been shifted to this location, it immediately cast the Demon Suppression Spell.

The Demon Suppression Spell struck Kailo, causing his retreat to falter for a split second.

That split-second pause was all it took for the phantom axe to descend upon Kailo’s head.

BOOM! A golden light erupted from Kailo’s head. The phantom axe paused for an instant before cleaving straight down. A rift tore through the void, once again opening a fissure into a small, separate world.

Wang Yi retracted his attack and looked up. Kailo’s figure was gone.

’Did I obliterate him completely?’

Wang Yi frowned. His intuition told him Kailo wouldn’t be defeated that easily.

As expected, Kailo’s voice echoed out in the next moment. "Young man, that’s a powerful technique! It must have been Enhanced many times. Even I would have undoubtedly died if I tried to take that head-on! But the one you just killed was merely an Incarnation I wanted you to kill! HAHAHAHA!"

Wang Yi scanned his surroundings but couldn’t see Kailo’s figure. His voice continued to emanate from all around. "Young man, I am a Raider on a mission to destroy your Royal Court. My little chat with you was just to stall for time. I am wearing a Raid Battle Armor forged with the Chaos Technology of the Nine Rivers Divine Country, and a Deep Space Detector has been feeding me information. My real body has already teleported right next to this Royal Court’s Heart of Chaos. I’m about to make my move. Once I destroy this Heart of Chaos, your Royal Court will fall, the National War will be over, and this will be the price you pay for provoking the Waga Royal Court!"
