"What's so great about it? When I become a grandmaster, I'll definitely be more spectacular than him!"
A man with a hooked nose stood in the corner of the banquet and looked at everything with envy.
He might have attained great inner strength.
But in front of a martial arts grandmaster, he was as insignificant as an ant.
At that moment.
His whole body tensed and goose bumps appeared all over him.
Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat, accidentally looked in his direction.
"Boom!"
The next second.
Lu Yuan suddenly stood up.
A murderous intent was radiating from him.
Everyone present was terrified.
For the man with the hooked nose was none other than the chief martial artist from his previous life! To Lu Yuan, this man was just an ant that he could easily crush. But in his previous life, this ant had snatched away his family's business, leading to the tragic death of his parents and the downfall of the family. How could such a deep-seated hatred not be avenged?
At that moment.
Everyone in the room realised that something was wrong.
Lu Yuan's gaze was icy as he walked step by step towards the man with triangular eyes.
Then he clenched his fists and bowed deeply, showing the utmost respect as if he were facing a highly respected elder.
But when the man with the hooked nose saw Lu Yuan's demeanour, he trembled with fear and even cried.
For Lu Yuan's reputation in the martial arts world was immense.
He was known to divide between high and low, life and death!
Anyone who dared to interfere would be considered an enemy of Lu Yuan's life.
"Please."
Lu Yuan stood still, staring coldly at the head martial artist as if he were facing a dead man.
"Master Lu, is there a misunderstanding?" The man with the hooked nose sat on the ground, crying hysterically, but no one paid any attention to him.
Not only him.
Under Lu Yuan's strong murderous intent, even the other guests trembled with fear, afraid to even take a breath.
"This person is related to the Red Lotus Sect," Lu Yuan said calmly, looking at the live camera.
In the script of life.
It was the chief martial artist who secretly colluded with members of the Red Lotus Sect, leading to him becoming a subject of genetic experimentation and eventually being tortured to death.
Upon hearing this, all the martial artists present could not sit still.
It was well known.
As times changed, various forces tried to suppress the martial arts world, shrinking the space for martial artists to survive. Combined with some malicious propaganda, martial artists had gradually become enemies in the eyes of the common people.
It was in this context that the Red Lotus Sect was born.
They believed that martial artists were the scourge of the old era, and that only technology could lead humanity forward.
Especially after the decline of martial arts.
The actions of the Red Lotus Sect became increasingly fanatical and extreme.
They had repeatedly used martial artists for genetic experiments and assassinated several martial arts grandmasters.
A few years ago.
These madmen even hijacked a strategic bomber from a military base and attempted to bomb the Shaolin Temple with the 'Father of the Bomb'!
This bombing left the entire Shaolin Temple in ruins.
If it wasn't for the strong intervention of Shaolin's experts, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After this incident.
The entire martial arts world regarded the Red Lotus Sect as their number one enemy.
Anyone associated with them would be attacked by all martial artists!
But no one expected...
That a member of the Red Lotus Sect would show up at Lu Yuan's Grandmaster Banquet.
"Kill him, these madmen are not worthy of pity!"
"My master died at their hands. They must pay with their blood."
All the martial artists stared at the man with the hooked nose, wanting to tear him apart.
"No, he's lying, I've been wronged!"
The hooked nose man roared hysterically, but no one paid any attention.
As Lu Yuan approached him step by step...
...the cornered man suddenly pulled out a syringe and jabbed it into his neck.
"Interesting, is this a genetic drug developed by the Red Lotus Sect?" Lu Yuan paused, his eyes narrowing dangerously, but he did not stop him immediately.
He also wanted to see how advanced the Red Lotus Sect's genetic technology had become.
The green liquid in the syringe immediately spread through his veins to his entire body.
Under the influence of the genetic drug.
The man's flesh tore apart, his genes recombined, his meridians and bones became even more resilient.
He turned into a mad beast, his aura rising steadily, even overshadowing Lu Yuan!
Seeing this scene, the other martial artists felt a chill in their hearts.
From the changes of the Hooked Nose Man, it was obvious that the Red Lotus Sect's genetic technology had become highly advanced.
This meant that.
They could mass produce genetic martial artists, even create an entire army of them!
At this point, how could they resist?
"Roar!"
After taking the genetic drug.
The man with the hooked nose roared and charged directly at Lu Yuan.
Facing the tempestuous attacks.
Lu Yuan was calm and relaxed, easily dealing with them.
"Speed, strength, reflexes are not inferior to a martial arts grandmaster."
"A rough estimate - a single dose of the genetic drug can increase the user's strength by at least five times!"
"The only downside is that after taking the genetic drug, the user will lose some rationality."
Lu Yuan watched continuously and soon came to a conclusion.
It had to be admitted.
After taking the genetic drug, the man with the hooked nose had become much stronger, even posing a threat to older martial artists who were suffering from declining vitality.
But in the face of absolute power.
Any fight or resistance seemed futile.
As Lu Yuan finished watching, the Hooked Nose Man lost all value.
"Fist Intent - Wind and Thunder!"
He clenched his fist, and his right fist shot out like a cannonball.
"Crack!"
Like a bursting dam, the fierce power of the fist crashed down on the man with the hooked nose!
In the face of the intense threat of death.
The man with the hooked nose regained his senses for a moment.
There was a glimmer of desperation and fear in his bloodshot eyes.
Unfortunately, before he could react, he was struck by the fist.
His body flew like a kite with a broken string, crashing dozens of metres away. By the time he hit the ground, he had turned into a pool of flesh.
"A genetic martial artist comparable to a martial arts grandmaster died like this?"
"Struck down with a single fist, unable to resist at all?"
Seeing this, the other martial artists gasped in shock.
They knew that Lu Yuan was powerful.
But they hadn't expected him to be so incredibly formidable.
Especially during the whole battle.
Lu Yuan remained calm, showing no ripples, as if he was swatting a fly with ease.
Think about it.
The martial artists present looked at Lu Yuan with a mixture of fear and awe.
Members of several martial arts schools quickly stepped forward to remove the body, and the chaotic scene was cleaned up.
Everything returned to normal.
Lu Yuan returned to his seat and the banquet resumed.
"You're in trouble, young Lu," the elder Wudang martial artist said with a solemn expression.
"Why do you say that, elder?" Lu Yuan inquired.
"The Red Lotus Sect has always been ruthless. In the past, they even dared to hijack a fighter jet and launch a missile to bomb the Shaolin Temple."
"Killing one of their members in public will undoubtedly invite their fanatical retaliation."
Speaking of which.
Even the senior martial artist still felt a lingering fear.
Because.
The rocket that the Red Lotus Sect sent to Shaolin Temple had a very loud name.
'The Father of the Bomb'!
It was the biggest non-nuclear bomb in the history of mankind.
This was because the Shaolin Temple had a profound heritage that was guarded by martial arts masters.
If any other ancient martial art sect had suffered such a fanatical attack, it would have been beyond salvation!
