Chapter 1: Brother and Sister

  "Boom!"

  A loud shout, truly like thunder in the ear, but what was most shocking and infuriating was that the person who shouted this sentence was a bit too fast, almost as soon as Qingyun Zhenren's voice fell, this loud shout had already penetrated the entire scene, with perfect timing.

  For a moment, someone was inexplicably excited (it was that shouting disciple), the vast majority of people were disappointed, and some even slapped themselves twice. No need to ask, they must be blaming themselves for shouting too late.

  "Tan Yu, Lu Chen, fall in."

  As Qingyun Zhenren let out a loud roar, Lu Chen finally knew the name of that Practitioner of the Second Layer who had challenged him.

  "Whoosh!"

  Innumerable eyes fell on Lu Chen's body, and at the same time, the disdainful sentiment that had just disappeared was replaced by astonishment. Others didn't dare to say it, but almost all the disciples present were convinced that Lu Chen would undoubtedly lose.

  What about the state of practicing Qi in three layers? If one only has a strong and powerful true yuan but doesn't know how to use it, then it's still nothing, just a defeat.

  At this time, Wang He and Lan Yu's expressions eased a lot. Never mind whether Lu Chen had the top talent or not, these two were determined to not let Lu Chen stay.

  As for Qingyun Zhenren, it was the same. On the other hand, Qingming and Qingchuan were not quite the same. The two of them would very much like to see if this creator of miracles, who could cultivate his true energy from nothing to something in just one month, reaching the three-layered boundary of entry, had any other skills.

  Four eyes met, and golden light splashed out once again.

  Far away, Lu Chen discovered that Zuo Qinghua was anxiously gesturing with her small hands, constantly drawing circles in the palm of her own hand, as if trying to remind herself of something.

  On the side, Yang Qing, standing beside Lu Chen, saw this and whispered with a smile: "Brother Lu, your sister told you not to fight him head-on. Your realm is higher than Tian Yu's, just try to avoid his attacks as much as possible. The longer it takes, the more he'll be dragged down by you. Hehe, Brother Lu, good luck to you! That Tian Yu kid is quite fierce, be careful."

  "Still playing like this?" Lu Chen pretended to be surprised, but in fact he didn't care at all.

  In an instant, Lu Chen made up his mind: "Bring him down? If I don't take him down right away, it would be a disappointment to all of you who are looking at me with disdain."

  At this time, Tian Yu had already walked into the center of the square and was staring tightly at Lu Chen with a gaze that seemed to pierce through the air: "Lu Chen, don't think that just because your cultivation level is higher than mine you can win without a doubt. Cultivating the truth is not just about cultivating energy, the mysterious skills are even more important. I advise you to admit defeat, otherwise, if you get hurt, don't blame me."

  Tian Yu grasped his fists, raised his chin high and proud, with a somewhat instructive tone. Upon hearing such bold words, some of Tian Yu's loyal followers around the square cheered him on.

  "Admit defeat?" Lu Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, walking slowly into the square. Seeing his helpless appearance, he was immediately misunderstood as being unable to get off the tiger's back, and so the disdainful and cold laughter around him grew even thicker.

  Lu Chen walked over and stood in front of him, showing no signs of defeat. He suddenly became angry and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. I hope you won't regret this, let's..."

  As he spoke, Tian Yu's horse stepped forward, his fists clenched tightly, and the true energy of the second layer of Qi burst out. The Five Elements Fist Technique, Golden Fist, was executed to its extreme, and the true energy surged through the meridians, filling that large fist with a faint golden color.

  The left fist struck out, the wind howling, the right fist hit out, the air surging. The crowd of disciples present looked on in amazement, and when they turned back to Lu Chen again, there was a hint of pity added to their expressions.

  "Alas, what's the use of cultivating three layers of Qi? I'll still end up losing."

  Qingyun Zhenren nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, it's just that you haven't reached the third layer of Qi cultivation, but it's enough."

  Tian Yu is one of the top few in the second layer of Qi training, and countless named disciples have been defeated under his fists in the past year. The key is that this person focuses on fist technique training, but neglects the accumulation of true energy, so he has not reached the standard.

  "Ah, the Five Elements belong to Metal, and the Diamond Fist is just right." Lu Chen didn't show any fear due to his opponent's strong fist, but instead, a playful smile appeared on his face: "I wonder which one is more powerful, the Flowing Sand Finger or the Diamond Fist. Let's try it out."

  "If Lao Dun knew what Lu Chen was thinking now, he would definitely be furious and scold loudly: 'You little brat, the Liu Sha finger technique is the improved method that I researched day and night, how can it compare to the Jin Gang fist? You deserve a beating, you deserve a beating.'"

  Lu Chen stood calmly, watching Tian Yu show off his boxing skills with a left and right fist. He was getting impatient, so he opened his mouth and said: "Whoever you are, if you're going to fight, hurry up. This Taoist priest still needs to go back and catch some sleep."

  Yes, he had been cultivating for five whole days, and until now, Lu Chen still hadn't slept a good sleep.

  Tian Yu, who was tightening the horse's saddle, stumbled and almost fell over, his face turning bright red as he glared at Lu Chen's disdainful gaze, bellowing: "You're asking for death, watch out!"

  As they spoke, Tian Yu suddenly burst out, taking a big step forward with a loud crash. His tall and majestic physique was like a fierce bear, swinging his fists to kill him at close range. The momentum was magnificent and not to be underestimated.

  The disciples present did not dare to blink, fearing that they would miss the thrilling moment of the fatal blow. One by one, they widened their eyes and stared tightly at Lu Chen. However, just as everyone thought that Lu Chen would be instantly defeated under Tian Yu's majestic and powerful momentum, an even more exciting scene finally unfolded.

  "Wu Luo Liu Yun Bu - Xing Shui" A low shout in his heart, Lu Chen stepped on the Wu Luo Liu Yun step method, directly four times the water, his body shape like a swimming fish, strangely swam out, rubbing against Tian Yu's armpit, and came to his back, then...

  "Flat yellow sand~" Another loud shout, Lu Chen bowed his body and pulled out his back, his figure making a beautiful reverse turn. His right hand hanging down from his waist suddenly lifted up, following the momentum to thrust upwards, a faint yellowish-brown light flashed at his fingertips and quickly pointed to several major acupoints on Tian Yu's back.

  The disciples had not yet figured out what was going on. All they heard were the "crack crack crack" sounds of several sharp noises coming from inside the arena. Afterwards, the tall and powerful Tian Yu actually stood foolishly in the middle of the plaza.

  At this moment, everyone was stunned, and even the four great true men who had always thought that Lu Chen would definitely lose were also stunned on the spot.

  With one style, the flowing clouds and water steps, with one finger, the flat land and yellow sand. Lu Chen's movements were smooth and continuous, his actions perfectly coordinated, not a single move wasted. It was clear that he had spent years honing his skills and had a deep foundation in this art. By the time Lu Chen stood proudly behind Tian Yu, it was all over in an instant. Most of the disciples didn't even have time to react, let alone see what happened.

  Off the court, Yang Qing's mouth was agape, his heart shocked like a huge wave in the Yangtze River, turbulent and surging. He thought to himself: "This guy is a typical fake pig eating tiger type, with extremely high martial arts skills but not showing them off, and yet he's so handsome... Alright, it seems I'll have to get along well with him from now on."

  The female disciple in the center, Zuo Qing's cherry-like small mouth was slightly ajar, her jade hand covering it lightly, as if she was about to let out a soft cry. The Dust Brother in front of her seemed to have transformed into a different person, no longer with his previous flirtatious nature, and that extraordinary air of nobility was hundreds or thousands of times more excellent than Wang He's.

  All of you disciples have your mouths wide open like a big mouth, at this time if there were duck eggs, well, I estimate that not even 180 would be enough.

  As for Tian Yu, he was even more shocked and couldn't understand how he had lost to Lu Chen. Thinking back to his previous contemptuous words towards Lu Chen, his face suddenly turned red all the way to the roots of his ears. If he hadn't been sealed by Lu Chen at this moment, he would have wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. It was too humiliating.

  After the great hall fell silent, the square in front of Yuning Hall once again welcomed an almost extinct silence. No one spoke, no one could say a word, and no one even thought about praising or exclaiming anything. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the waste in their eyes suddenly transformed into a world-class genius.

  Silent

  Still quiet.

  Lu Chen's gaze swept across, and he should have had a smile on his face, but instead, he furrowed his brow involuntarily. He thought to himself: "No need to be like this, the most powerful moves haven't been used yet, truly inexperienced, sigh~"

  He let out a soft sigh, and Lu Chen saw Qing Yun and the others remaining silent, their faces filled with shock. Not wanting to stay in the square any longer, being treated like a freak by everyone, he turned around and was about to leave the square, returning to his team.

  But then, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted out loud.

  "This is not Qianyu Men's Xuan Gong, he cheated."
