"Do you really think you can do it?" I asked with a smile. "Moreover, what if you become a god? Aren't you still being chased and beaten by me?"
"Lu Zi Ye, do you want to die?" Wei Xi stood up, looking at me with cold eyes.
"If I were you, I'd maintain absolute silence right now!" I said coldly. "This is my territory..."
"You..." Wei Xi paused. "What do you want from me?"
"It's very simple." I didn't beat around the bush. "You should be able to find my location. Come find me, and let's settle this between us..."
"What do you mean?" Wei Xi asked.
"The Tree of Life was originally meant to be a whole. Now that we each have half, neither of us is getting any benefit..." I continued. "So, let's fight it out. The winner takes the remaining half of the Tree of Life..."
As I said this, Wei Xi's eyes flickered, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"If you agree, then it's decided. If not, this conversation ends here today..." I continued, with a look of disdain on my face.
"Okay!" Wei Xi stood up. "I agree to this, but... this is your territory, and it's not safe for me to come over..."
"You can bring your subordinates!" I said.
"Why don't we rephrase the rules!" Wei Xi said with a smile. "You and I, a fair fight, with a maximum of twenty people on each side, and a minimum of one. We will engage in combat..."
"And then?" I asked.
"It's simple, the loser dies!" Wei Xi said. "The winner takes the other half of the Tree of Life, and we fuse it into a complete Tree of Life!"
"I think this method works!" I nodded. "Let's agree to it!"
"Very good!" Wei Xi smiled. "You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word!"
"Don't worry, I don't have a habit of going back on my word..." I said.
Wei Xi nodded, a smile appearing on his face, as if he had already won.
If it were the me of the past, I would have felt quite uncomfortable sitting here, as my resources were indeed scarce.
Once a fight broke out, I would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Wei Xi was different. He had a powerful background to support him, and he also possessed a unique geographical advantage.
Ever since Number One and the others appeared, I knew that Wei Xi had never stopped his research.
If nothing unexpected happened, his research into superhumans was likely on a very large scale.
In such a situation, if he dispatched twenty people at once, I had reason to believe that they would all be superhumans he had researched.
This would put me at a disadvantage.
However, the situation was different now. My strength had greatly increased, and I now possessed sufficient combat power.
Even when facing the superhumans he had researched, I had enough confidence to fight.
And this time, I had a compelling reason to win!
After we reached an agreement, we immediately left the room. Honestly, I didn't want to talk to him any longer.
I didn't have a very good impression of this person.
Now, I needed time to sort out my thoughts.
There were many things to process slowly, although it was a matter of time.
But truthfully, my time was very precious right now.
The overall development was now moving in a direction that I felt was quite suitable, which was a good thing for me.
Although I didn't know what kind of battle we would face when confronting the Heavenly Dao, one thing was certain: in this situation, the stronger the combat power, the greater the advantage.
There was also something quite interesting about that big turtle.
I had originally thought that the big turtle would maintain its enormous size, but I didn't expect that it would shrink to normal size within the Soul Suppressing Monument.
This could be considered a living fossil.
It was a pity that I couldn't communicate with it.
And so, another month passed.
Everyone was usually fully immersed in their cultivation.
But I always felt that this method of cultivation was not particularly efficient. Therefore, at my strong suggestion, everyone went out to sea for a leisure trip with me.
Those ships were docked by the coast, not being used normally.
So this time, I took out two ships at once, bringing along not only the mercenaries but also all the wildlings.
Seeing such large ships, the wildlings were very excited. Although they had observed them carefully before, being able to ride on such ships and play on the sea was like a dream to them.
As for the city, I wasn't worried at all. With the Soul Suppressing Monument in place, Shi Quan would be fine and would not be invaded by other beasts.
"Brother Lu, I've just forged a few weapons..." Bei Chi said on the ship, excitedly pulling out two daggers from behind him.
The daggers didn't look very large, and their design was quite ordinary.
But when I saw the two daggers, I felt that they contained terrifying power.
"This is..." I looked at the daggers and then at Bei Chi.
The fact that he could bring these out meant that he had definitely figured something out.
I even sensed a kind of elemental energy within these two daggers.
"Wind attribute!" Bei Chi said with a smile. "Brother Lu, let me tell you, we've actually overcomplicated the forging of weapons..."
"What do you mean?" I became interested.
"The most important thing in forging weapons is the materials, of course. Technology also has a significant impact. Without excellent technology, it's impossible to forge a good weapon with just materials..." Bei Chi said. "First, we need to refine the materials..."
"Ahem..." I coughed awkwardly and interrupted him. I basically guessed what he was going to say next.
It was nothing more than the entire forging process, but I wasn't very interested in such things.
"First, tell me how this elemental power came about..." I asked.
"Power of the Shepherd God." Bei Chi said with a smile. "When forging these two daggers, I asked Chen Zhi for help. It was nothing, just that when using fire, I infused some wind-attribute Power of the Shepherd God..."
"And then?" I asked.
"Then it was successful!" Bei Chi said. "And I discovered that after fusing with the element, the daggers themselves carry some energy... This way, in combat, they can unleash greater combat power!"
