The next day, the morning sun began to rise.
Lu Yao had rested for a night to stabilize his realm.
At this moment, as he opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged, the room, which was slightly dim, suddenly brightened.
Over the course of the night, after adapting and stabilizing, his physique indeed became stronger.
The Golden Body Realm had undergone a qualitative change, and now he was so strong that he scared even himself.
Lu Yao felt the world around him was extremely fragile. If it weren’t for his formidable Spirit Refining Stage control, which was honed to perfection, merely moving his hands and feet could cause tremendous destruction to his surroundings.
Stepping outside the house, Lu Yao took to the air and spread his arms, basking in the dawn’s rosy light.
Wealth, power, wisdom... all these are illusions! Only one’s own powerful strength can bring peace of mind.
"Uncle Master~~~"
Just then, Er Ya’s distant call came from the ground.
The little girl had come with toiletries to attend to his needs.
As Lu Yao descended, he found it odd: normally, such tasks were handled by the Liao Family Sisters or Li Pei, so why was Er Ya here today?
However, the little girl was quite happy to work, her face flushed with laughter, resembling an enticing apple.
"Er Ya, go call your master and the others to the back mountain; I want to test my body."
Lu Yao casually instructed, while also pondering on "settling the score" with the few women.
Li Pei talked about having fun with the master and disciple, the senior sister promised to bring pasties, and Yu Yanmei was even more tight-lipped… These were all accounts he had to settle properly!
[With the mighty physique of the Golden Body Realm, I’ll send them into ecstasy, no matter how much they beg, I won’t stop]
As Lu Yao indulged in his thoughts, he failed to notice the fleeting expressions crossing Er Ya’s face.
It turned out, the little girl had ruthlessly betrayed him, reporting to the ladies about "Uncle Master and the Joyful Sect’s Fox Spirit fooling around for several days."
~~~~~~~~~~
The back mountain.
Seeing the murderous look on his women’s faces, Lu Yao was a bit puzzled; didn’t everything seem fine yesterday?
Li Pei really disliked Yun Qinglan and was feeling the most displeased at the moment. She gritted her teeth as she hoisted up a Fire God Cannon and said:
"My lord, I shall help you test your body right now!"
With that, she pulled the trigger.
The rotating wheel moved and amidst the tremendous noise akin to a drill breaking through a wall, 20MM cannonballs shrieked towards him at three times the speed of sound!
But this was just the appetizer!
The armor-piercing shells that could penetrate armored vehicles could inflict some damage during the Blood-Exchange Realm.
Now, they could only smash into metallic fragments upon his skin surface, sparking futilely and completely unable to breach his defense.
Seeing this, the women showed no surprise, until Li Pei brought over a "155 howitzer."
This was the main event, a Golden Body Realm Grandmaster’s specialty show—withstanding the blast of a cannon with one’s flesh!
The ladies immediately tensed up with anticipation, with Liao Qi gripping her sister’s hand tightly.
Li Pei loaded the cannon with a shell and powder bag, then called out loudly to the distant Lu Yao, "I’m going to blast you now, okay?"
Lu Yao made a "come at me" gesture, and the cannon roared to life!
The noise was like thunderclap in a clear sky, probably loud enough to be heard in the Imperial City more than 10 kilometers away.
A cannonball weighing 90 pounds, as thick and long as a thigh, whistled through the air with terrifying momentum towards him!
Lu Yao didn’t dodge or avoid, instead raising his arm in front of his face to block.
A faint luminescence flickered over his body, covering him in a 1/10 millimeter thick "Mental Barrier."
The next second, the cannonball hit its mark and exploded violently!
The terrifying kinetic and potential energy swept through, powerful enough to kill half the people on a soccer field.
But all the destructive force of the cannonball was firmly blocked by that thin layer of mental protection, leaving him unscathed!
```
The horrifying kinetic energy of the cannonballs, the shockwaves produced by explosions, and the shrapnel coming at him couldn’t even inflict the slightest damage to that impenetrable shield of will, filled with an essence of indestructibility!
An interesting scene unfolded at that moment: the ground in front of Lu Yao erupted, flipping soil and rocks into the air, creating a crater two meters deep and five meters in diameter, yet everything behind him remained tranquil and unharmed.
Dust and smoke billowed from the explosion, but Lu Yao waved his hand, dispersing it all with a powerful gust of wind.
A few women hurried forward, only to find that aside from some tears in his clothes, he hadn’t suffered a single injury.
"So powerful! He can really withstand artillery fire head-on!"
"Not a scratch on him, that’s just too tough!"
Even Yu Yanmei was utterly astonished, feeling around him in disbelief.
Though a Golden Body Realm Grandmaster can withstand cannon fire head-on, it’s not something to be entirely disregarded.
The modern artillery from Blue Star is widely known for its power, which Yu Yanmei knew all too well—even she would have suffered some porcelain-like cracks if hit, yet Lu Yao had resisted it perfectly.
This was the true might a Golden Body Realm Grandmaster should possess!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as Yu Yanmei realized she was a good deal behind this young man, she saw him take out something strange—a drone tank sponsored by the Star Alliance Country.
This device had been hacked by Xia Country’s engineers and could be operated through a tablet computer.
Lu Yao wanted to test whether he could withstand the most advanced kinetic energy weapons from Blue Star.
"Everyone, please step back. This is not a joke."
"Then be careful," they cautioned.

The women, forgetting the matter of settling scores with Lu Yao, repeatedly reminded him to be cautious, then stepped back to a safe distance.
Through the tablet’s interface, Lu Yao aimed the unmanned tank’s electromagnetic cannon at himself, set the power output to maximum, and pressed the launch button!
The electromagnetic cannon fired silently, with just a bare metallic "clang" of the impact, but its power was tremendous!
An 18-kilogram tungsten alloy warhead, traveling at six times the speed of sound with a trajectory that seemed to shatter the air, screamed towards him!
The women turned pale, never expecting such a terrifying weapon to exist in the world!
If this shot were to hit, anyone below the Golden Body Realm would undoubtedly die!
Even a Golden Body Realm Grandmaster hit directly would lose half their health bar!
Facing this earth-shattering strike, Lu Yao remained calm and simply raised his arm to block!
A harsh metallic screech of twisting and grinding blasted through the air as the tungsten alloy warhead shattered upon impact with Lu Yao, sending out a spray of intense sparks.
This time, a tiny crack, 5 centimeters long, finally appeared on his arm.
Lu Yao stared at the crack for a few seconds, and then it vanished instantly.
Having witnessed this, Yu Yanmei was completely convinced; for ordinary Golden Body Realm martial artists, such a wound would take a full day to heal!
She realized that the Thunder Tribulation Realm was indeed on an entirely different level.
Not only was Lu Yao’s Golden Body exceptionally tough, but it also possessed an unrivaled healing speed.
At this moment, the women looked at Lu Yao with eyes full of admiration and awe.
Lu Yao was also quite pleased with the gains from his breakthrough; his body had become indestructible!
And to be indestructible is almost synonymous with being unstoppable! Some matters could now be put on the agenda.
He turned to Li Pei and said, "Peipei, how are the preparations for the campaign against Izumo coming along?"
Li Pei had forgotten all about settling scores with her lord, and she replied with a seductive smile:
"Everyone is eager to go; some have been submitting their requests to fight every day, and the call to arms has been written."
"Then let’s begin," Lu Yao said, glancing at the second sun in the sky, full of confidence. "Let’s deal with Xu Fu first."
Having fought on even terms before, even when a full realm lower, he now found Xu Fu to be an easy catch.
Er Ya thought her master uncle looked incredibly dashing in his vibrant spirit, leaving the young girl, filled with springtime fantasies, utterly infatuated, nearly dripping water from her large, beautiful eyes.
In her emotional excitement... her second baby tooth fell out...
Only then did Lu Yao remember, the young girl was in the process of shedding her baby teeth to enter the Blood-Exchange Realm. He laughed and said, "Come, come, come, I’ll give you a great opportunity."
