Chapter 371: Karmic Law Equipment! Long Ao Jiao's Breakdown (Part 2)

I even prepared myself to be thrown back by it."

"But as you can see, I didn't encounter any obstacles, it was this easy."

Lin Fan reached out and touched it again, still feeling nothing. He simply lifted his hand and easily picked up the shield, holding it lightly in his grasp.

Long Ao Jiao: "Huh?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"No wonder you're the master!"

Shi Hao exclaimed, "That's incredible!"

"As expected, Master is invincible," Xiao Ling'er nodded like she was crushing garlic.

Ya Ya smiled and said, "Of course, our master is originally the most powerful."

"This is an undeniable fact!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, stop bragging."

Lin Fan waved his hand, "Since none of you can lift it, and it has no 'defenses' against me, perhaps this thing is indeed fated to be mine."

"Then I'll try to refine it and see if it has any connection with these four Corpse Puppets."

"You all wait here."

"Yes, Master," the disciples stepped aside.

"Hmph!"

"I don't believe you can refine it," Long Ao Jiao grumbled and stepped aside, saying, "Even I couldn't do it, so how can you?"

"Nonsense!"

She didn't think she would lose.

In any aspect.

Although she had lost to Threeleaf before...

But that was because she had been tricked.

And she never expected Threeleaf, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes... Ah, the guy without eyebrows and eyes, would actually deceive her.

It was simply outrageous.

Refining treasures was a basic skill for any cultivator.

And for relatively powerful treasures, if one wanted to accelerate the refinement process, they would usually need to drip a drop of essence blood, which would aid in the refinement.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate.

He directly dripped his essence blood and then refined it with all his heart.

He had thought this process would be more troublesome.

But...

It was still easy and carefree, without any obstacles, much easier than Lin Fan had imagined.

In just two incense sticks' worth of time, this Imperial Armament, or Immortal Artifact-level Celestial Human Shield, was successfully refined by Lin Fan. At that moment, Lin Fan realized and revealed a look of enlightenment.

"So that's how it is."

"I know how to control these Corpse Puppets now."

Lin Fan was delighted, "Indeed, as Ya Ya said, these Corpse Puppets were infused with 'rules' during their creation, and they have always acted according to these rules."

"And among these rules, the most important one is that the owner of the shield can command the Corpse Puppets."

"There's such a thing?!"

"That's truly a double joy!"

Xiao Ling'er and the others were overjoyed.

After all, this was great news for the entire Moon Embrace Palace.

With four Ninth Level Corpse Puppets guarding, it wasn't as solid as gold, but ordinary villains would be completely fearless.

Even if everyone was away from the sect, with the Corpse Puppets there, they wouldn't need to worry about the safety of the sect.

"How is this possible?!"

Long Ao Jiao's eyes widened in disbelief. She refused to accept that Lin Fan was the fated one.

Even if they had to find a fated person...

Why was this fated person Lin Fan and not herself?

What could he compare to her?

Does he have longer legs than her?

Is he prettier than her?

Is he invincible like her?

Pfft!

...

Threeleaf removed the eightfold mirror technique.

Everyone was cautious and on guard.

But Lin Fan remained calm.

He was certain that his instincts were right, and there was indeed such a rule within the Celestial Human Shield, or rather, the Celestial Human Shield, apart from its inherent effects, was also a 'key'.

By holding this key, he could control the four Corpse Puppets.

"Come here," Lin Fan said.

The four Corpse Puppets immediately took a step forward and walked up to Lin Fan.

Slap! They all stood at attention, and their sudden movement startled many.

"He can really control them!"

Long Ao Jiao gritted her teeth, "Lucky bastard!"

"Luck is still luck. Are you jealous? If you're not, keep it to yourself."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "Actually, relatively speaking, this Celestial Human Shield is more precious than these four Corpse Puppets."

"Nonsense!"

Long Ao Jiao finally seized the opportunity and directly retorted, "The existence of the four Corpse Puppets is to guard the Celestial Human Shield inside the coffin. If the Celestial Human Shield wasn't more important than them, why would that Celestial being bother to create the four Corpse Puppets in the first place?"

"Huh?!"

Fan Jiang Gang was surprised, "You're not Long Ao Jiao!"

"You're an imposter! Quickly, where did you hide the real Long Ao Jiao?!"

Long Ao Jiao: "???"

"Are you crazy?"

"Nonsense!"

Long Ao Jiao coldly laughed, "Why do you think I'm not Long Ao Jiao, you idiot?"

"Of course, I can confirm that!" Fan Jiang Gang's expression turned serious as he almost spoke word for word, "Long Ao Jiao isn't as smart as you!"

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Only Long Ao Jiao was stunned for a moment, and for a while... she felt a bit lost.

So...

Should I be angry or happy? But soon, she reacted, "You idiot, how dare you say that about me?!"

"Do you believe I can kill you?"

"Stop, stop, I'm praising your intelligence, if you really are Long Ao Jiao!"

Long Ao Jiao: "..."

"Alright."

Lin Fan stopped the bickering duo, and he couldn't help but smile as well.

Obviously, everyone was in a good mood.

This time, it was a great harvest. Now that they had 'returned home', laughter filled the air.

"This Celestial Human Shield has a special characteristic," Lin Fan's face showed anticipation.

"What characteristic?" Shi Hao asked curiously.

"Like this."

With a wave of Lin Fan's hand, the Celestial Human Shield shrank, transforming into a single-handed shield.

Immediately, he held the shield in one hand, "Who wants to attack me and give it a try?"

"I will!"

Long Ao Jiao, who was already a bit unhappy, seized the opportunity to attack Lin Fan, "How do you want to fight?"

"Physical attacks, weapons, or techniques?"

Lin Fan smiled, "All are welcome."

"How about trying them all?

"

He was a little agitated.

Long Ao Jiao was also agitated, "You brought this upon yourself."

"Take this!"

She immediately struck out with her small, tender fists, aiming straight for Lin Fan's face.

Hit the shield?!

What a joke!

She wasn't a fool, and although she knew he wanted to test the shield, would she really hit it? Of course, she aimed for his face.

Let him laugh!

However...

Clang!

Suddenly, a dull sound echoed, causing Long Ao Jiao's smile to fade from her lips.

"How could this be?!"

She was stunned! She had clearly aimed for Lin Fan's face, that smirking, hateful face.

She was absolutely certain about this!

But why did her fist land on the shield?!

Pay attention!!!

It landed on the shield, not on Lin Fan's face as he moved the shield to block! If Lin Fan had moved the shield to block, Long Ao Jiao wouldn't have been the slightest bit surprised, after all, she knew his strength. If they were to fight, she might not be able to get the better of him.

It wasn't strange for the shield to block her punch.

But the problem was...

Lin Fan didn't move the shield!

The shield was still in his left hand, still held in front of his chest.

Yet, her punch aimed at Lin Fan's face, as if it were out of her control, automatically 'curved' and struck the Celestial Human Shield.

"..."

Long Ao Jiao was a little dazed, "What just happened?"

The crowd remained silent.

She turned to Xiao Ling Er, "Did you understand what happened?"

Xiao Ling Er blinked, "I think I saw something."

"Yes, you punched the Master's face, but at the last moment, your fist curved and hit the shield."

"So, Long Ao Jiao, you wouldn't... have any improper thoughts about my Master, would you?"

"At the critical moment, you held back?"

Long Ao Jiao, "??? What... are you talking about?!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Me? Her?!

She didn't like men!

Both of them were stunned.

"You all, you're making me so angry!"

Long Ao Jiao raged, "Who told you to insult me like this?"

"Me, like her?!"

"No way, how could I like a man?"

"Not just him, even if a heavenly god descended, perfect in every way, I wouldn't give him a second glance. How could I possibly like someone as insignificant as Lin Fan?"

"This is simply outrageous."

"Whoever dares to speak such nonsense again, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

The crowd remained silent.

Shi Hao, however, was stubborn, grumbling, "It's obvious that you did it yourself, and now you won't let us speak?"

"We all saw it."

"Shi Hao!"

Long Ao Jiao glared at him, "You little brat, you need a good spanking, huh?"

"We all saw it, who saw it? Speak up, what did you see?!"

However, Ya Ya raised her hand, "I saw it."

Queen Medusa, or Cai Lin You You, said, "I saw it too."

Queen Medusa was very pleased with Moon Holding Sect.

Especially with the potential of Moon Holding Sect, her relationship with Xiao Ling Er, the current master of Moon Holding Sect, and the Snake Clan's future development, it was certain that there would be no issues.

With this Moon Holding Sect, she wouldn't want to leave.

Cai Lin You You had spoken, and the others naturally wouldn't hesitate, nodding in agreement, "We all saw it."

Long Ao Jiao was anxious.

Her face turned red, almost as if she had transformed into a Caucasian.

"You all saw nothing!"

"You all saw, what did you see? Speak up, what did you see?!"

"We saw..."

The crowd spoke in unison, "You originally intended to punch the Master's face, but at the last moment, you held back and hit the Celestial Human Shield. Isn't it that you couldn't bear to hit him?"

Long Ao Jiao echoed their words, "???"

What the fuck?!

Who the hell couldn't bear it?!

She wished to punch this bastard so badly that he'd be left in a pitiful state, so much so that he'd be disfigured. How could she possibly bear it...

She'd rather see a ghost than hit him!

"You all!!!"

"I, today..."

"I must teach you all a lesson, or else!!!"

She was so angry that her body trembled, wishing to explode right away.

But suddenly, she realized that if she were to fight...

One-on-one, she wouldn't be afraid, and escaping wouldn't be a problem either. But she truly couldn't beat these bastards if they joined forces.

No way.

She had to endure...

She had to... reason with them!

But... she, Long Ao Jiao, and especially as Long Ao Tian, was forced to reason with them?!

She was so angry!

"I didn't!"

"I can swear to heaven!"

Shi Hao blinked, "You really didn't?"

"Then swear it."

Long Ao Jiao, "..."

This little brat was crazy!

Damn it!

Long Ao Jiao was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Cough, I was just joking." Seeing that Long Ao Jiao was on the brink of collapse, Shi Hao quickly changed his words, "But from the 'third party's' perspective, you did indeed hold back at the last moment."

"Your fist, it curved and hit the Celestial Human Shield."

"And the result was indeed so."

"Me!!!"

Long Ao Jiao almost couldn't help but burst out, but at the last moment, she calmed down and said in a deep voice, "The final result was indeed a punch on the shield. This point, I'm very confused about."

"I had made up my mind to punch the Master's face, and when I did, I didn't hold back at all, although I didn't use my full strength!"

"But I don't know why, at the last moment, my fist seemed to curve on its own and hit the shield."

"This..."

Long Ao Jiao suddenly realized, glaring at Lin Fan, "You bastard, is this your doing?!"

"What do you mean, I did it?"

"I..."

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction seeing Long Ao Jiao's expression.

"I'm testing the Celestial Guardian Shield, and it has a special effect. It's just that the special effect is taking effect now, and you're blaming me for it?"

"!!!"

Long Ao Jiao's expression turned serious.

"What special effect?"

"Why don't you try again and see for yourself?"

"Use your technique, aim at me." Lin Fan gently coaxed.

Long Ao Jiao, however, was not easily convinced. She raised her hand and with a single finger, she shook the heavens and pointed towards Lin Fan.

The surrounding space trembled.

This time, the target was Lin Fan's thigh.

Although Long Ao Jiao thought that Lin Fan shouldn't be able to withstand it, but if by chance the attack killed Lin Fan, she wouldn't be able to explain it either.

At the same time, after making her move, Long Ao Jiao stared at her own 'fingerprint' intently, watching its trajectory.

Everyone else was doing the same.

Then...

They witnessed a bizarre scene.

The fingerprint, which was clearly aimed at Lin Fan's thigh, arrived in front of Lin Fan in an instant, and was about to hit his thigh in a fraction of a second, but at this very 'instant', the fingerprint suddenly 'turned'.

It was almost like a 'teleportation', appearing in front of the shield.

Clang! The fingerprint hit the Celestial Guardian Shield, causing the shield to vibrate, and ripples spread out in circles, but Lin Fan didn't move a muscle. The Celestial Guardian Shield seemed to have become even brighter.

Long Ao Jiao: "Σ(⊙▽⊙“a?!"

"Ah?!"

This time, everyone saw it clearly.

Lin Fan didn't move!

The shield didn't move either!

The 'attack' had indeed turned.

It was understandable for a fist to turn.

But for a technique to turn, and for it to turn towards me...??"

Shi Hao asked suspiciously: "Are you sure you didn't give up at the last moment?"

Long Ao Jiao's face turned dark: "No, no, no! You damn brat, how many times do I have to tell you to shut your stinking mouth?!"

Shi Hao smacked his lips: "But..."

"No buts!"

Long Ao Jiao, her eyes red, looked at Lin Fan: "Rule System?!"

"Yes."

"Rule System."

Lin Fan nodded, revealing the answer. "The moment I refined the Celestial Guardian Shield, I knew that it possessed this ability."

"Rather than calling it a Rule System, I'd say it's more like a Karmic Debt Shield. This Karmic Debt is such that—as long as I hold the Celestial Guardian Shield and know that an enemy is attacking me, then the opponent's attack will be affected by this Karmic Debt, ultimately hitting the Celestial Guardian Shield with a hundred percent accuracy."

"As long as it doesn't exceed the defensive limit of the Celestial Guardian Shield, and as long as the opponent can't surpass my perception, then holding this Celestial Guardian Shield is equivalent to having absolute defense."

"If it's exceeded, then it's another matter."

"Of course, this effect can be said to be almost unignorable in the Immortal Martial Continent, and everyone will be affected by this Karmic Debt."

"If I ascend..."

"Perhaps it will be useless, and can only be used as an ordinary shield."

"As for why it has this effect, it should be that the forger of this Celestial Guardian Shield has reached an extremely terrifying level of understanding of various laws and rules, right?"

Everyone: "..."

"Damn, why do you have such dog-like luck?!"

Long Ao Jiao's eyes turned red with envy.

This shield is indeed formidable!

At least in the Immortal Martial Continent, it's undoubtedly one of the rare divine artifacts!

Although it has a limit, but reaching or surpassing the limit of such an Imperial Artifact is not an easy task.

As long as one doesn't go overboard, and doesn't encounter those Sacred Lands, Town-Teaching Imperial Artifacts, and so on, there usually won't be any problems.

This artifact, for someone like me who offends others everywhere and may fight with the Feathered Race at any time, is absolutely a divine artifact! With this thing, killing those bastards from the Feathered Race is as easy as crushing eggs, right?"

"Can't you sell it to me?!"

Long Ao Jiao's eyes lit up with desire.

"You want it?"

"I want it!"

"..., I can't give it to you."

"This thing is a Karmic Debt equipment, it depends on fate." Lin Fan spread his hands.

Currently, his understanding of the Celestial Guardian Shield is not that deep, but at least he has figured out its function and operating rules. This thing indeed depends on 'fate,' and only those with fate can hold it.

Otherwise, unless one has the power of an Immortal beyond the Ninth Level to forcibly suppress and refine it, it can't be used at all.

That's why, whether it's Long Ao Jiao, Shi Hao, Ya Ya, and the others, none of them can forcibly take it up and refine it.

As for why he is the one fated for this Celestial Guardian Shield, Lin Fan couldn't explain it clearly either.

At the same time, there's a detail about the Celestial Guardian Shield that Lin Fan hasn't revealed.

That is, besides the Karmic Debt passive skill, the Celestial Guardian Shield also has an 'active skill,' which is 'Reflection'! It can absorb and store attack power, and then release it when needed.

In simple terms, it's a reflection skill.

A defensive artifact with extreme defense, able to absorb attacks with a hundred percent accuracy, and possessing a reflection effect!

"Damn it!"

"Why are you the one fated for it?"

"I, Long Ao Tian, am so domineering, majestic, and handsome, and I, Long Ao Jiao, am so beautiful and peerless, why can't I beat you?"

"I think this Celestial Guardian Shield is 'blind'!"

Shi Hao muttered: "I think you're jealous."

"What did you say?!"

Long Ao Jiao couldn't contain her anger: "Fuck, I'm leaving!"

"Damn it, those bastards from the Feathered Race are still waiting for me to kill them!"

"Wait for me to come back and suppress you all!"

Long Ao Jiao was in a hurry.

Out of sight, out of mind.

This Prodigy Grand Tournament was truly annoying.

Being defeated by Threeleaf was, in his opinion, a great humiliation.

Now, he was also upset by the Celestial Guardian Shield...

He urgently needed to kill a few bastards from the Feathered Race to boost his morale, and at the same time, quickly enhance his strength so that he could once again suppress them!
