I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Half an hour later.

A rather old and shabby small restaurant.

It's so humble that one can't help but doubt Han Yun City's sincerity in treating them to a meal...

But it was only when their specialty, braised broken paw, was brought up.

Clearly, it was just the bear paw of a Level 4 Demon Beast Violent Bear.

Yet the exquisite ingredients often just needed the simplest cooking methods, and after being drizzled with a special sauce, the taste was so divine that Xu Lingjun almost bit off his own tongue.

The two of them had bear paws piled in front of them.

Han Yun City had quite the characteristic way of ordering, ordering only one type of dish, but in a large quantity at once—over a dozen bear paws filled their greasy, worn-out table.

Both of them were holding a bear paw in their hands, smudging oil all over their mouths as they ate.

Han Yun City mumbled while eating, "Don't be fooled by those grandiose hotels; honestly, those are just show-off dishes. They look lavish, but there's nothing that really tempts your appetite... If you want something unique and delicious, you have to try out places like this little enterprise."

Xu Lingjun was already too busy eating to reply.

An intense battle lasting a full two hours.

Especially since Sister Yaya had just drained a lot of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit yesterday, leaving him not in his best state... and he faced the frighteningly enduring Han Yun City.

Xu Lingjun was utterly exhausted at this point.

In almost four or five bites, a bear paw, flesh and bones, was swallowed whole. With his current teeth, the bones crunched into powder with a few snaps.

Indeed, the restaurant was doing good business.

Its five or six small tables were entirely occupied...

Some were even sharing tables; each table was packed full.

Except for the table with Han Yun City and Xu Lingjun, which seated only the two of them.

One reason was that they ordered too many bear paws, meat stacked upon more meat on the table, almost leaving no room for plates... The other reason was, though Xu Lingjun had an exceptionally handsome look, and Han Yun City was well-presented, both of them were unfortunately in a state of being battered and bruised at the moment.

The swelling on Han Yun City's hand was even bigger than the bear paw on the table, looking far from decent.

Their peculiar presence naturally deterred anyone from disturbing them.

"Not bad, not bad, tastes great."

Xu Lingjun finished off the bear paw in his hand before grabbing another one. Despite the wolfing down, he couldn't match Han Yun City, who kept eating and talking... Within the time he ate two paws, Han Yun City already devoured four.

Clearly, he had specialized training.

And witnessing Xu Lingjun's appetite totally disproportionate to his appearance.

Appreciation emerged in Han Yun City's eyes.

He already had a fond opinion of Xu Lingjun, but now, he must admit, Xu Lingjun is even more exceptional than he imagined.

After undergoing such a great battle.

Even he, a Peak stage Martial Artist of Hui Chuan about to break through to the Profound Realm, couldn't conceal his fatigue.

But Xu Lingjun not only showed no sign of fatigue but was still full of zeal, and Han Yun City could sensitively notice... that the aura around him seemed to have increased significantly.

Which means he actually improved his strength through fighting with him.

This kid is the kind of person who excels at breakthroughs during battles... just like me.

Han Yun City felt a bit bewildered, knowing that aside from genuinely wanting to challenge Xu Lingjun, he also intended to use their intense combat as a leverage opportunity to break through to the Profound Realm.

However, for some reason...

Though the battle was brutal.

Both sides almost completely abandoned defense in the end, focusing only on mounting attacks non-stop.

Logically, his strength should have broken through by a sizable margin.

The result...

There was absolutely none!

Perhaps due to extreme fatigue, his cultivation even somewhat regressed.

It seems taking shortcuts is not likely feasible anymore; it's better to return to concentrated sincere cultivation and honestly strive to breach the Profound Realm.

Thinking this, Han Yun City cast a slightly approving gaze at Xu Lingjun, being pushed to this extent by him, well done.

On that note, he bowed his head and bit fiercely into the meat in his hand.

Said, "Eat freely, today is all-you-can-eat."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely order more later."

With that, the two of them continued to eat, focused and intently.

No drinks, no side dishes, just pure meat, meat, and more meat.

They were both practicing Body Refinement, carnivores from the start... born incapable of eating vegetarian.

And the two had oils flowing all over their mouths and hands as they ate.

At this moment, however, they hadn't noticed.

Outside...

Across an entire street.

On the other side of the street, in the corner, a middle-aged man with a weathered face and curly hair was staring intently at Han Yun City, who was eating heartily in the house.

His eyes were cold with hatred...

It's him, it's him!

He's the one who killed my son.

He killed Xiaomu, and he's still eating so happily...

Roger's breathing became rapid.

As if enduring immense pain, he fixed his gaze on Han Yun City, his eyes scanning back and forth over him, noticing his swollen hand and bruised face, evidently from a fierce fight not long ago.

Very good, very good.

It seems even the heavens want to lend me a helping hand.

If I strike with all my might... he definitely cannot withstand a single blow from me!

First kill Han Yun City, then kill this Xu Lingjun. Xiaomu's personality was like mine, he hated those among his peers who were stronger than him, and now that he's gone, I must ensure he leaves in peace.

Let these two outstanding young individuals accompany him.

He stood quietly.

Suddenly, his eyes twitched, seeing Han Yun City nearly finished with the bear paw, standing up to reach for the meat beside Xu Lingjun, leaving his back completely exposed.

Roger's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle points.

He was already like a cannonball fired from a barrel, bringing with him a gust of wind and fierce howl, charging straight towards Han Yun City!

In just the blink of an eye...

The hundred-meter distance was closed instantly!

He directly stormed into the tavern.

A Profound Realm Martial Artist, barely a step away from the Upper Realm.

The Cosmic Pirate King, once the son of Zhou Qianmo, having endured countless hardships, with immense strength, his strike brought endless violent thunder, its imposing might was astonishing.

The palm technique accumulated with thunder force, and with just a single strike, not only Han Yun City, but even the tavern itself would completely turn to ashes under his palm.

And at the same time.

From another direction.

"What a great opportunity!!!"

Seeing Xu Lingjun suddenly raise his hand to snatch a piece of meat from Han Yun City, leaving his back wide open.

Wu Hongzhou, who had been stealthily hiding in the dark, suddenly brightened his eyes.

This kid seemed to have just sparred with someone, certainly not in full condition at the moment.

To capture him alive and extract information about Marquis Xia Wu, now is the best opportunity.

Wu Hongzhou didn't hesitate, becoming like an arrow off the bowstring, and in a moment crossed a distance of over a hundred meters, directly breaking in through the window, reaching out to grab Xu Lingjun.

With one palm, containing endless variations.

Though wanting to capture alive, he only needed it to be alive... half-dead or nearly dead was irrelevant, thus this move showed no reservation at all.

Just hadn't grasped Xu Lingjun yet.

Faced a sudden surge of frantic energy, scorching thunder force made every pore of his body tingle painfully, as if seeing endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood surging forward.

A master!!!

And someone truly experienced in countless life and death adversities, a true Martial Tao master.

Roger roared in fury...

As expected, beyond his anticipation.

This accursed Han was indeed hiding a guardian of such formidable strength beside him, capable of completely eluding his spiritual sense, leaving him unaware of the other's move.

Now the opponent seemed to have a measure of initial superiority despite striking later.

With such a master nearby.

Even if a slight advance would allow to slay the enemy under the palm.

But neither Wu Hongzhou nor Roger dared to make a move...

In a contest between masters, the first move is crucial.

They wanted to achieve their goals but didn't want to trap themselves as well.

Immediately, Wu Hongzhou turned his palm into a claw, his five fingers like steel nails crashing gold and cutting jade, directly towards Roger.

And Roger, carrying the hatred of killing his son, roared angrily: "Die!!!"

Hands clasped tightly, carried with the momentum of a thunderbolt, leveraging the weight of his falling body, against this rare formidable enemy blocking his path to avenge his son's death, held nothing back, a full-force strike, powerfully falling down.

Bang~~~!!!

A loud noise.

True Qi burst forth in torrents, turbulent currents swirled, and the tavern was completely destroyed in the aftermath of their clash.
