In truth, Lu Yan was reluctant to admit that he was inferior to Lu Chen. Seeing Lu Chen being the center of attention, Lu Yan was so angry that he couldn't calm down.
Trash that should have been trampled beneath his feet instead rose above his head.
Thus, he subconsciously challenged Lu Chen without much thought.
Indeed, Lu Yan also understand the high status of a Senior Alchemist in the Lu family. The family head would never allow his challenge to Lu Chen, because he was worried that Lu Chen would be injured during the battle.
At this time, Lu Jinyun frowned and looked at Lu Yan's grandfather, Lu Yongfang, very dissatisfied. Of course, he was displeased by Lu Yan's provocative behavior, that's why his anger trickled down onto Lu Yongfang.
Immediately, Lu Jinyun's gaze shifted to Lu Chen again, because Lu Chen had said that he was a Body Refining Realm cultivator, which outside everyone expectation. Before that, everyone knew or heard that Lu Chen was a youth with no physical attributes and unable to cultivate, so he wouldn't be able to set foot on the path of martial arts his entire life. However, Lu Chen had changed now.
Although people were shocked, most of them believed what Lu Chen said. Compared to the big news that Lu Chen became a Senior Alchemist, they were more able to accept Lu Chen as a cultivator at the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm.
"Why not?"
Lu Chen's voice was loud.
Lu Jinyun only wanted to stop Lu Yan, but Lu Chen had agreed to Lu Yan's challenge before Lu Jinyun could stop him.
"Lu Chen, don't be rash, you don't have to do this. As a Senior Alchemist now, no one can order you around anymore." Lu Tianxing also frowned slightly and persuaded Lu Chen.
Lu Chen has proven himself in front of everyone, and now there is no need to accept Lu Yan's challenge. Of course, Lu Tianxing would be more than happy if Lu Chen could beat Lu Yan in martial arts, but Lu Chen said that he was only at the Middle stage of the Body Refining Realm, while Lu Yan was at the late stage. Even a child could tell the huge gap between these two stages.
Lu Tianxing was also afraid that Lu Chen would get hurt. If Lu Chen had an accident, even if Lu Yan was severely punished, it would not help.
"Third Elder, although I am only at the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm, it is impossible for Lu Yan to hurt me. He won't be able to do it," Lu Chen said to Lu Tianxing with a smile.
"Leader, let me fight with Lu Yan. We all know Lu Yan's father is trying to compete with my father. Now, if I refuse Lu Yan's challenge, won't that embarrass my father?" said Lu Chen with a smile, confident.
Thus, Lu Jinyun was unable to forcibly prevent Lu Chen from fighting Lu Yan. He looked at Lu Tianxing, but Lu Tianxing didn't say anything else.
"Bastard!" roared Lu Yongfang deep in his heart. If Lu Chen hadn't mentioned his son who was destroyed by Lu Chen's father--Lu Yizhou, Lu Yongfang could still hold back his anger, but now he couldn't. He nodded at Lu Yan, hinting that he allowed Lu Yan's challenge; at the same time, he also wanted to teach the arrogant Lu Chen a lesson through Lu Yan.
"So you two, fight. But remember, stop when you've had enough; don't hurt the other side," Lu Jinyun said slowly and in a deep voice.
Of course, his goal was to protect Lu Chen.
On the stage, Lu Chen and Lu Yan stood facing each other in a battle-ready stance.
The other people backed off a bit to make enough room for them. Of course, Lu Jinyun and the other elders didn't retreat too far to prevent an accident in time. With their strength, Lu Chen and Lu Yan's fight would not possibly injure them by accident.
"Lu Chen, be careful. You'd better admit defeat in time. Otherwise, if I don't hold back and hurt you, don't blame me." said Lu Yan in a low voice.
In this competition, swords have no eyes, and losses are inevitable. Lu Yan said this to warn Lu Chen. If Lu Chen was injured, he couldn't blamed him, because he had told Lu Chen earlier.
"Lu Yan, you will regret it." said Lu Chen with a smile; The Water Splitting Sword in his hand shook slightly.
"Ha!" Lu Yan shouted loudly as he rushed towards Lu Chen. The long blue sword in his hand suddenly exploded with a light sound, and inner energy blew around.
"Look, it's the Golden Splitting Sword Technique!"
Among the people watching, someone exclaimed.
The Lu family has many members; they practiced various martial skills. As soon as Lu Yan started, they immediately recognized his skills.
"Golden Splitting Sword Technique?" Some people are not familiar with this technique.
"Idiot, you don't know the Golden Splitting Sword Technique? It's a mid-level martial skill with great power."
"What? Intermediate martial skills? Lu Yan can actually learn Intermediate martial skills? His talent was indeed very high."
"Humph, what do you know? The Golden Splitting Sword Technique has a total of nine moves. Learning one move and nine moves is completely different. Lu Yan can only practice two or three moves at most."
"But after all, this is an intermediate martial skill. Even if you only practice one move, its strength is still terrifying, and it is definitely much stronger than basic martial skills."
The spectators who were busy talking, Everyone looked up the stage with wide eyes.
Lu Yan possessed intermediate level martial skills and he was at the late stage of the Body Refining Realm. Lu Chen, a cultivator at the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm, probably couldn't compare to Lu Yan.
Many people speculated whether Lu Chen had practiced any martial skills, and in the end, how many moves he could face. It would be a shame if he couldn't even parry a single move.
No one has ever heard that Lu Chen was a cultivator before, but now he suddenly became a cultivator, so his cultivation time must be short. Cultivating a martial skill, even if it is a basic martial skill, cannot be done in a short amount of time.
"Kneel down!"
Lu Yan used the Golden Severing Sword Technique, and his long blue sword shot towards Lu Chen with a white light; at the same time his eyes widened and a terrifying roar rang out from his mouth.
"Go out!" Lu Chen shouted.
Lu Chen, however, shouted in a low voice, and the Water Splitting Sword in his hand suddenly emitted light.
The martial skill that Lu Chen had cultivated was only a basic skill, but he had completely mastered it and it had also been upgraded, with only one move but a total of seven styles.
There was a sword light, which was like flowing water, rippling in the surrounding space.
The astonishing sword aura floated like boiling water, and when it appeared, the sword light instantly suppressed Lu Yan's sword light.
"What's this?"
"What a powerful martial skill! I don't think I've ever seen such a skill."
As soon as Lu Chen's Windbreaker Swordsmanship was displayed, practitioners with higher cultivations realized how terrifying this martial skill was.
Not to mention the ordinary members of the Lu family, Lu Jinyun, the leader of the Lu family, also looked confused; he couldn't catch a glimpse of what martial skill did Lu Chen use.
It's inconceivable that Lu Jinyun couldn't immediately identify a martial skill that Lu Chen use.
"Leader, do you recognize it? How should I say, I think it's like Windbreaking Swordsmanship," Fifth Elder said in disbelief as he looked at Lu Jinyun with a frown.
Lu Jinyun frowned and nodded slightly, "It is indeed very similar to Windbreaking Swordsmanship, however, it is definitely not Windbreaking Swordsmanship. Could it be some other kind?"
"If this is Windbreaking Swordsmanship, then the power of this technique is too great, right? Even an ordinary mid-level martial art is still a long way from being able to reach this extraordinary power!" Fifth Elder sighed.
When the Fifth Elder was young, he had practiced Wind Breaking Swordsmanship, so he was very familiar with this martial art. However, precisely because he was familiar with it, he was even more confused. Since when did WindBreaking Swordsmanship have this kind of power?
"Third Elder, what kind of martial arts does Lu Chen practice?" Lu Jinyun looked at Lu Tianxing, Lu Chen's grandfather; he thought Lu Tianxing might know something.
Lu Tianxing heard Lu Jinyun's voice, turned to look at Lu Jinyun and said, "Actually, I don't know either."
Lu Tianxing was also speechless. He really didn't know when Lu Chen became a cultivator and when he learned such a brilliant martial skill. Lu Tianxing had never seen martial arts like this.
"What happened to Lu Chen?" muttered Lu Tianxing in his heart.
"Boom!" The martial arts of the two finally clashed.
Under everyone's attention, one could clearly see that the terrifying sword shadow from Lu Chen's sword instantly overpowered Lu Yan's sword light, then a terrifying power rushed towards Lu Yan, and Lu Yan's body was torn down like a fallen leaf.
"How could that be?" Lu Jinyun trembled slightly, showing an astonished expression.
He and several elders, and even some powerful family members, have seen that Lu Chen's martial arts are very powerful, but after Lu Yan was hit by a sword move, Lu Jinyun still couldn't believe it. It was beyond their expectations.
At the late stage of the Body Refining Realm, Lu Yan, who practiced A middle stage martial arts of the Golden Splitting Sword Technique, was actually knocked into the air by a single sword, which blinded everyone's eyes!
If Lu Chen was in the Marrow Refining Realm, of course it would make sense, but Lu Chen was only at the intermediate stage of the Body Refining Realm.
Lu Jinyun and the others of course knew that Lu Chen wasn't lying. Lu Chen was indeed in the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm.
"What happened?"
Even a cultivator at the early stage of the Marrow Refining Realm would not be able to defeat Lu Yan that easily.
With just one move, just one move!
After one move, Lu Yan, like a dead dog, fell and flew up.
"Lu Yan, I said killing you is easy, but this time I'll let you go. If you dare to provoke me again in the future, things won't be so easy," Lu Chen lightly glanced at Lu Yan who was rolling in the distance and said in a deep voice.
This time, Lu Chen did not kill Lu Yan, because of Lu Jinyun warning. However, Lu Chen should show his respect to Lu Jinyun; that was enough to teach Lu Yan a lesson.
