Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

"Just now!"

"Did you make a move just now, my lord?"

"Didn’t you hear the sword hum or see the flash of white light?"

"I think I did hear a hum and see a white light, but I didn’t see you move at all..."

Yin Kui shook the Flood Dragon’s tail again, wondering why Wang Yi had said it was dead when it seemed perfectly fine.

But this time was different. With a shake from Yin Kui, the Flood Dragon’s head fell right off. The cut on its neck was perfectly smooth. A second later, blood gushed out, and then the Flood Dragon’s body vanished in a flash of light, leaving behind a suit of Leather Armor.

"Wh-what’s going on?"

Yin Kui scratched his head, completely baffled.

Li Bozhen had a suspicion. He looked at Wang Yi and said, "My lord, did you really attack just now?"

"Of course. I was just too fast for you to see!"

A smile appeared on Wang Yi’s face. ’This Thunder Slash Divine Technique is pretty good,’ he thought. ’It’s so fast that even Li Bozhen and Yin Kui couldn’t see me move. I bet I could use this for a sneak attack right in front of someone’s face.’

"It’s a shame this Flood Dragon was too weak to really show my true strength. It would be great if you could catch a tougher monster!"

As he spoke, Wang Yi drew the Cyan Blade Sword from his back. He had just used it to launch the attack, instantly killing the level 100 Flood Dragon with a single strike. This demonstrated its attack power, but it clearly wasn’t its limit.

In truth, when using the Thunder Slash Divine Technique, Wang Yi only had to think, and his body would automatically execute the strike as he envisioned. It could be said that the slash was as fast as his thoughts.

"My lord, please wait. I know of another monster lair with a much stronger Mao Kui Beast!"

Yin Kui quickly left again and returned less than half an hour later, this time dragging back a gorilla over two meters tall.

That gorilla was the Mao Kui Beast. It was level 200, its eyes were red, and it struggled violently, even more ferocious than the Flood Dragon from before.

"My lord, try your skills on this one!" Yin Kui said. "I’ll watch carefully from the side this time. I’ll definitely be able to see how you attack..."

Before Yin Kui could finish speaking, Wang Yi said, "I already tried. It’s dead!"

"What?"

Yin Kui was shocked. He turned to look at the Mao Kui Beast again and saw a vertical line on its forehead. The line quickly became soaked in blood, turning a deep crimson.

The next second, half of the Mao Kui Beast’s head slid off and rolled to the ground. Its corpse then vanished in a flash of light, also leaving behind loot: a Skill Book called [Powerful Fist], usable only by max-level Adventurer Professions.

’Instantly killed a level 200 Mao Kui Beast, too. With the Cyan Blade Sword in hand, I reckon even an ordinary Starry Sky God would find it hard to block my tenth-of-a-second Thunder Slash... If I were to switch to a forty-meter Great Sword in the future, could I still use Thunder Slash this quickly?’

Wang Yi now had a basic understanding of the Thunder Slash Divine Technique and thought of many ways to use it.

Yin Kui was about to go capture another monster for Wang Yi, but Wang Yi waved his hand to stop him. ’There’s no need to make him waste any more energy,’ he thought.

A short while later, Wang Yi went back to opening blind boxes, which took up the better part of the afternoon.

Wang Yi didn’t know what the Mingyu Divine Lord had gone off to do, but he had just raised the quality of a Luck Blind Box to Seven-Colored.

"Let’s see what my luck is like this time!"

Without hiding it from Yin Kui and Li Bozhen, Wang Yi immediately opened the Seven-Color Quality Luck Blind Box.

DING! A selection window that only he could see appeared.

====

Ding! One Box, Many Openings Talent activated. The current Chaos Blind Box is being opened. Calculating 6 results for you.

6: Ancestral Battle Armor (Seven-Colored, Enhance +6)

====

"Huh, six options. A Seven-Colored item finally appeared again!"

Wang Yi immediately responded to the system and chose the Ancestral Battle Armor.

Soon, the Battle Armor appeared before Wang Yi. Just as expected, it was a suit of Bronze Battle Armor. It looked ancient and was simple in style—plain and unremarkable, exactly the kind of equipment a common soldier would wear.

"An ancestral suit of soldier’s armor... you can really slap the word ’ancestral’ on anything, huh? And yet it’s supposed to be a symbol of the family’s glory, a witness to its splendor. Wearing it can enhance a descendant’s sense of belonging, identity, and honor. This is just ridiculous..."

Wang Yi muttered to himself as he checked the Attribute Information of the Ancestral Battle Armor.

As an ancestral item that had been Enhanced six times, this Battle Armor possessed extremely high defense and also provided a staggering 88% damage reduction against all types of attacks.

In other words, as long as he wore this Ancestral Battle Armor, any attack that hit him would first be blocked by the armor. Even if an attack could break through its defense, the damage would still be reduced by 88%!

Wang Yi tried on the Bronze Battle Armor and found that it was a perfect fit, not hindering his movement at all.

What surprised him was a sudden system notification, informing him that the Ancestral Battle Armor could be integrated into the Ancestral Divine Hall. Once integrated, it would become an extension component, nurtured by the Divine Hall’s power. In the future, it could be repaired and slowly strengthened within the Ancestral Divine Hall, and it could also be summoned from the void to equip him.

"This Ancestral Battle Armor is practical and very useful. Making it a component of the Ancestral Divine Hall is a good idea."

Wang Yi was delighted. He sent the Ancestral Battle Armor into the Bronze Divine Hall, where it automatically flew into the Divine Weapon Pool to be nurtured.

At that moment, Wang Yi discovered that the second Ruyi Golden Cudgel he had been creating with the Fantasy Divine Weapon Pool was also complete.

’That’s two cudgels now. One for the Monkey King, one for the Fighting Saint Buddha. I’m not in a hurry to make a third one. I’ll forge a Great Sword first, to make it easier to use Thunder Slash...’

Wang Yi immediately set about designing a Great Sword. He wasn’t concerned with its power, only that it be enormous.

To be precise, the sword needed to be long—the longer, the better. Using Thunder Slash with it would, in turn, give him a larger attack range.

Just as he finished designing the "Longsword" and his consciousness withdrew from the Ancestral Divine Hall, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, landing in front of Wang Yi, Li Bozhen, and Yin Kui.

Li Bozhen and Yin Kui immediately bowed in greeting. Without even looking, they knew it must be the Mingyu Divine Lord, who had teleported a clone down.

Sure enough, when the light faded, a clone of the Mingyu Divine Lord stood before the three of them. She was wearing a magnificent red Battle Armor that radiated a Seven-Colored light, and she carried a Longsword on her back.

"Matters within the Divine Country have been dealt with!"

The Mingyu Divine Lord looked at Wang Yi, a smile on her face. She continued, "I have already used the Cultivation Alliance to put pressure on the Miracle Kingdom. For the time being, they won’t trouble you openly! However, the integrity of the Miracle Divine Country is questionable, so it’s best you remain cautious!"

"Alright!"

Wang Yi clasped his hands and bowed to the Mingyu Divine Lord. Although he wasn’t afraid of retaliation from the Miracle Divine Country, he was still touched that she had stood up for him.

"Next, Taishang, I need your help to hunt down Dr. Magic, Xue An Kang. He should have entered Hundred Battle Mountain by now. He has committed countless evil deeds, and his descent this time is for some nefarious purpose. If left unchecked, he will certainly bring harm to my Mingyu Divine Country..."

The Mingyu Divine Lord began to tell Wang Yi about Xue An Kang. According to her, this man, Xue An Kang, could travel through time and space. Ordinary world barriers, Border Barriers, formation Restrictions, and the like couldn’t stop him.

The man was a master thief. In his early years, he had managed to sneak into the Mingyu Divine Country and steal a large number of items, even taking the Mingyu Divine Lord’s underwear and showing it off everywhere.

Furthermore, the reason Ming King Li Longyu descended to the lower realms and ultimately fell in the Fourth Dimension was also related to this man.

She is desperate to eliminate him as soon as possible, but there are many system limitations in the Fourth Dimension, especially in a place like Hundred Battle Mountain with its numerous restrictions. She needs a helper whose mission progress is currently in the Fourth Dimension, someone who can act freely.

This helper also needs to be powerful enough, which is why it has to be Wang Yi.
