Hu Po rarely had the chance to fight head-on with his enemies. Usually, when Lu Ye was fighting, he would quietly crouch on Lu Ye's shoulder, allowing him to borrow strength.
Now that he finally had an opportunity, he naturally cherished it.
He didn't even reveal his true body, only fighting with his cat-sized body.
He fought with ease!
In the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, Lu Ye's cultivation had jumped from the Sixth Order to the Eighth Order, so how could Yi Yi and Hu Po not grow?
Hu Po could easily defeat a Fifth Order enemy even if he didn't use his full strength.
The cultivator's mood gradually changed from initial anger to shock, then despair …
After a few dozen breaths, he voluntarily admitted defeat.
He couldn't even defeat a pet of his opponent, so there was no need to continue fighting.
After he admitted defeat, his figure immediately disappeared.
Lu Ye also left the arena and continued on to the next battle.
And so …
The cultivation of the enemies he encountered was uneven, from the First Order to the Ninth Order. Lu Ye didn't know what the principle of the teams was, but it was most likely a random choice.
If the enemy's cultivation wasn't high, Lu Ye would let Hu Po fight. Only when the enemy was above the Seventh Order would he take the initiative to fight.
There were also some battles that ended before they even started.
Because the opponent recognized Lu Ye at a glance.
In front of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, Lu Ye killed Xia Liang in front of everyone. Now, he was recognized as the strongest cultivator in the Cloud River Realm. How could ordinary cultivators have the heart to fight with him after recognizing him?
Anyway, he had to fight a full hundred battles, so one or two losses wouldn't affect him much.
Occasionally, when returning from the battle arena, he would meet Fourth Senior Brother and the others, casually chatting for a while before starting the next battle.
Lu Ye's efficiency was very high. It didn't take seven days at all. On the second day, he had already fought a full hundred battles, and the result was naturally a hundred victories.
He didn't accumulate much Battle Points, only two or three thousand.
There wasn't much to do after that. He just had to wait a few days for the list of the top three thousand to be released before starting the next round of battles.
Lu Ye wanted to use this time to spy on the Soaring Dragon Realm's Source. Although a few days wasn't long, it was enough for him to do it two or three times. What if he was lucky enough to find a cultivator who used a saber?
However, he suddenly thought of something else and waited in front of the Pillar of Heavenly Secrets.
Not long after, the space beside him twisted and a figure appeared. It was Li Baxian.
Li Baxian's progress was undoubtedly fast. Although he hadn't fought a hundred battles yet, he had already fought sixty to seventy. His foundation was solid. Previously, because he was from Alchemy Heart Sect, he lacked the means to kill. Now that he had the Calligraphy Sword Formula given to him by Lu Ye, he was very confident that he could break into the top hundred.
As for the top ten, it wasn't that Li Baxian was belittling himself, but he really didn't have much confidence.
The great Sects of the Nine States had produced many talented individuals. Li Ba Xian was amazing, but his cultivation was still lacking. He was only at the Seventh Order Cloud River Realm.
Furthermore, many cultivators who had reached the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm deliberately chose not to break through to the True Lake Realm in order to compete for supremacy in the Cloud River Realm.
Some people had been waiting for this event for one or two years!
In these one or two years, their cultivation would not increase by much, but their foundation would improve.
For people like them, although the reward of the golden spirit lot was important, the favor of the heavens was the most important. In order to fight for the top ten, they would definitely go all out.
"What's the matter, Little Junior Brother?" Li Baxian could tell at a glance that Lu Ye was deliberately waiting for him here.
"I want to return to the Sect," Lu Ye said.
"At this time …" Li Baxian pondered. "Alright, then Little Junior Brother can go by himself."
The Cloud River Battle would last for a month. After leaving the Cloud River Battlefield, cultivators could only enter again after a month. If Lu Ye left now, he could return when the Cloud River Battle ended.
"I will explain the situation to Junior Sister Hua Ci and the others."
"Then I'll go now."
Lu Ye left as soon as he said that. He raised his hand and pressed it on the Heaven's Fate Pillar. With a thought, the surrounding scenery quickly distorted.
The next moment, he appeared in the Heaven's Fate Hall of the Blue Blood Sect.
He didn't immediately go to find the Sect Master or his Second Senior Sister. Instead, he raised his hand and tapped on his Battlefield Imprint, looking for one of the imprints.
Soon, he found it and sent a message.
After waiting for a moment, the other party replied.
"See you at the old place!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. This message seemed to have some meaning, especially since the person who sent it was a very charming woman!
Without thinking too much, Lu Ye raised his hand again and pressed it on the Heaven's Fate Pillar. His mind connected to the Heaven's Fate Treasure Vault.
"Spirit Artifact upgrade!"
Immediately after, he appeared in a small, secluded space. In front of him was a stone platform. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Almost as soon as Lu Ye stepped in, a figure flashed in front of him. It was a woman who looked to be around thirty years old. Her skin was white and tender, and she wore a close-fitting floral dress that outlined her exquisite curves.
Since they were old acquaintances, there was no need to talk nonsense.
Lu Ye took the Mountain Pan Saber from his waist and placed it on the stone platform in front of him.
The reason why Lu Ye had hurriedly left the Cloud River Battlefield and returned to the Nine States was because he wanted to use this time to upgrade his Mountain Pan Saber.
His cultivation had increased too quickly, and the Mountain Pan Saber's quality couldn't keep up.
Initially, the Mountain Pan Saber was only a Level 9 Lower Grade Spirit Artifact. Later on, it became a Middle Grade Spirit Artifact. Now, it was a High Grade Spirit Artifact.
However, with his current strength, a High Grade Spirit Artifact wasn't enough to fully unleash his strength. Previously, when he fought against the 200 enemies of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, Lu Ye felt that even though he used 100% of his strength, he only managed to unleash 90% of his strength.
This was the result of the Spirit Artifact's quality not being able to keep up with his cultivation.
Furthermore, after such a long time, Lu Ye had fought with many enemies. No matter how sturdy the Mountain Pan Saber was, there would always be some small scratches on it. However, if he didn't pay attention to them, it could affect the overall power of the Mountain Pan Saber and affect the lifespan of this Spirit Artifact.
The Mountain Pan Saber's two upgrades were made by this woman who called herself Master Yu.
Of course, Lu Ye could find someone else, but if it was someone else, he wouldn't know how good their skills were. At the very least, Lu Ye wasn't worried about Master Yu's skills.
Previously, he had exchanged his Battlefield Imprint with her, so Lu Ye still wanted to find her to do this.
However, this Master Yu's cultivation was definitely higher than the Cloud River Tier. At the very least, she was at the True Lake Tier. It was very likely that she was at the Divine Ocean Tier.
If Lu Ye wanted to contact her, he could only send a message back to the Nine States. He wouldn't be able to contact her on the Cloud River Battlefield.
If it were any other cultivator, they wouldn't make any changes to their Spirit Artifact at such a crucial moment in the Cloud River Battle. This was because it could affect their ability to unleash their strength.
Every cultivator in the top 100 of the Sword Finger Rankings would try their best to maintain their peak condition.
However, Lu Ye did this. If others knew about this, they would be shocked.
In front of the stone platform, the woman looked Lu Ye up and down, as if she wanted to see his face clearly. However, from the woman's perspective, Lu Ye was currently shrouded in a cloud of fog. Not to mention his face, even his body couldn't be seen clearly.
This was a protective method of Tian Ji. It was convenient for both parties to conceal their identities.
However, this kind of concealment was meaningless to Lu Ye, who had once been blessed by Tian Ji. In this place, he seemed to have some special privileges that others didn't have. Thus, he could see the woman clearly.
"Aren't you at the Cloud River Tier?" The woman asked with a puzzled expression. Her voice was old. If someone who didn't know heard her, they would probably think that this was the voice of an old woman.
"What's the problem?"
"It seems that the Cloud River Battle is now. Why aren't you participating? Why have you come to me to upgrade your Spirit Artifact?"
Although her cultivation level was far superior to Yun He's, she had naturally heard of such a big event like the Cloud River Battle. She had also participated in this grand event in the past.
And the reason she could determine that Lu Ye was at the Cloud River Tier was naturally because the Pan Mountain Saber was a high-grade Spirit Artifact. A cultivator who used a Spirit Artifact of this quality had to be at the Cloud River Tier.
Of course, Lu Ye wouldn't tell her that the first 100 battles were over. He only said calmly, "What? Do you have to investigate the background of others when doing business now? "
"Ahem …" the woman coughed softly. "That's not it. I was just asking casually. If you don't want to say, then don't say."
She raised her hand and grabbed the Pan Mountain Saber in front of her. After unsheathing the saber, she nodded slightly. "Tell me your requirements."
"Upgrade to the level of a Magic Tool. The other requirements are the same as before!"
A Spirit Artifact had a limit of 36 seals. Any higher and it would be the level of a Magic Tool.
The woman's heart skipped a beat as she came to a sudden realization.
No wonder this little brat didn't participate in the Cloud River Battle. It turned out that he had already reached the True Lake Tier. This was because Magic Tools could only be used by True Lake Tier cultivators.
Of course, some Cloud River Tier Ninth Order cultivators with strong foundations could also use them, but the cost was also high.
"This saber is only a high-grade Spirit Artifact now. If you want to upgrade it to a Magic Tool, surpassing the top-grade level, ordinary people can't do it …" She was obviously implying that she wasn't an ordinary person. She was also waiting for Lu Ye to ask her.
But Lu Ye didn't have any intention of answering.
He could only continue to say, "The materials required will not be too little, and those materials are not cheap …"
"Name your price!"
Lu Ye interrupted her directly.
After a few interactions, he could tell that whether this woman was at the True Lake Tier or the Deity Sea Tier, she was a pauper. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to accept his request to upgrade the Pan Mountain Saber from low-grade to mid-grade.
Moreover, she didn't seem to want too many people to know about her identity as an Artifact Refiner. Otherwise, she could use her skills to accumulate wealth openly.
Therefore, it didn't matter if the woman asked for a higher price. As long as it could satisfy his requirements, Lu Ye didn't care about the trivial merit points.
He had more than a hundred thousand merit points. Even if he used them all up, he could still take some resources from the Sect's Treasury and sell them to the Tian Ji Treasury.
"30,000!"
The woman gritted her teeth and called out a price that she felt was quite high. After a few interactions, Lu Ye could see some of her background. How could she not see some of Lu Ye's background?
No matter where this little brat came from, he didn't lack money. It wasn't easy for her to open her shop, so she naturally wanted to get as much as she could.
