104: Lu Ze vs. Duan Ren

Fu Liang was so angered he laughed, and the first words out of his mouth were a national expletive, “Mā Lè Gē Bì.”

Indeed, there were few people who could make Fu Liang lose his temper verbally.

The people from Xuanyuan City also glared, each wishing they could rush up and give them a good beating!

“Enough!”

Above, Meng Yanxing had watched the show for a while before finally speaking, “Time is almost up, the competition can begin!”

Everyone suppressed their thoughts, awaiting the upcoming competition.

Meng Yanxing glanced at Lu Ze, seeing that the latter’s expression remained calm, and he had a plan in mind, saying, “The first round of competition: Xuanyuan City’s Gengsi Class versus Shennong City’s Gengsi Class! Each side will send one person to fight in turns. The side with more victories will be the winner of the first round!”

As soon as these words fell, Shen Zexing looked at Duan Ren next to him, “You’re up first.”

Duan Ren nodded, tapped his foot, and entered the formation!

“Buzz!”

With a soft tremor, several blue lights rose from the edge of the formation. A blue platform appeared from the formation space beneath Duan Ren’s feet. The platform rose, lifting Duan Ren three meters into the air.

Duan Ren drew a long sword, looked down at Lu Ze, and said with extreme arrogance, “Hey, you, come up!”

Fu Liang drew a long spear, gripping it tightly, his anger flaring, “Mā Lè Gē Bì, you’re getting too much credit from me! Do I need Young Master Lu to beat you? I’ll go up and deal with you myself!”

Qin Wan, standing nearby, reached out to stop Fu Liang, her long sword also in hand, “Let me go. Let me probe and see how much capital he has to dare to be so presumptuous!”

Song Wushuang and Tang Chenyi also had the idea of fighting, and both stepped forward.

Duan Ren, on the formation, saw this scene, and the mocking smile on his face grew wider, “You all want to challenge me so much, then come at me together!”

Fu Liang spat directly, “Just you?! I could give you one hand and still have too many! You bastard, I’ll show you right now why flowers are so red!”

Fu Liang was about to step forward when a sword suddenly blocked his path.

Fu Liang’s temper was immediately suppressed. He saw Lu Ze withdraw the hand holding the sword, “I’ll go.”

With that, Lu Ze’s Spiritual Qi surged under his feet, and he landed on the formation platform.

Seeing Lu Ze come to fight, Duan Ren pointed his long sword at him, and his Spiritual Qi erupted. A faint Sword Intent slowly condensed beside him!

“Lu Ze, if you beg for mercy now, perhaps I can stop before it’s too late. My sword, once unsheathed, will not be sheathed without drawing blood!”

Duan Ren himself had Fourth Grade Lesser Completion cultivation, and was undoubtedly a Genius of Shennong City’s Gengsi Class!

He had also heard the news that Lu Ze had only recently achieved a Breakthrough to Fourth Grade Lesser Completion, while his own cultivation was solid, and he might Breakthrough to Fourth Grade Major Achievement in about half a year!

How could such a deep foundation be compared to someone who had just achieved a Breakthrough to Fourth Grade Lesser Completion?!

Moreover, Duan Ren had Sword Intent by his side! He was confident he could defeat Lu Ze!

Below the stage, the people of Shennong City, seeing Lu Ze accept the challenge, all looked like they were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

“You say, if this Lu Ze loses to Duan Ren, then wouldn’t his defeat of the Inspector be confirmed as false? Even someone as strong as Duan Ren was powerless under the Inspector. This Lu Ze, hehe.”

“Duan Ren is only twenty-two, yet he has already condensed Sword Intent. No one among his peers can match him. Lu Ze has only just entered Fourth Grade Lesser Completion, he’s bound to lose.”

“If Lu Ze loses, I’m afraid the people of Xuanyuan City will be even more unable to hold their heads high. In many competitions over a decade ago, Xuanyuan City lost. Now, a person who caused such a stir turns out to be a fraud. I think it’s better to abolish Xuanyuan City’s Demon Subduing Division and let our Shennong City people handle their affairs!”

Shen Zexing, who had been listening with narrowed eyes, suddenly changed his expression and whispered, “Shut up, is the Municipal Demon Subduing Division something you can discuss?”

The laughing and chatting crowd all obediently shut up.

Shen Zexing glanced at Meng Yanxing in mid-air, seeing that the latter was only looking down at the stage, seemingly not bothered by what had just been said, so he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though the surrounding Xuanyuan City personnel were furious upon hearing those words, Shen Zexing didn’t care. Although he also looked down on Xuanyuan City’s Demon Subduing Division, as a Municipal Demon Subduing Division officer, he still had to put on a show.

On the stage!

Lu Ze glanced at Duan Ren’s long sword, re-sheathed his sword behind his waist, and moved his body slightly, saying, “Your sword will not be sheathed again, and your Sword Intent will shatter today, and your sword Heart will collapse today!”

Duan Ren sneered, thinking Lu Ze was just showing off.

He even put away his sword, and having just entered Fourth Grade Lesser Completion, he wanted to fight him bare-handed? And he even said he would destroy his Sword Intent and sword Heart?

Since you want to show off, then I will make you suffer a crushing defeat!

Having made up his mind, Meng Yanxing’s voice also came from mid-air, “The competition begins!”

Duan Ren moved in an instant. The distance between them was only a hundred meters. As Duan Ren shouted, he was already close to Lu Ze!

The long sword slashed down, without holding back, directly aiming at Lu Ze!

Lu Ze showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it towards the sword’s edge.

“Hmph.”

Duan Ren sneered inwardly, this Lu Ze truly was arrogant!

Did he really think his Physical Body was made of copper and iron? That he could withstand this sword with his Physical Body?!

Since you want to show off, then I will chop off one of your arms, and let you know that showing off in front of me is seeking death!

The Spiritual Qi in Duan Ren’s long sword rose another level, and at its edge, Sword Intent was faintly covered!

Lu Ze didn’t care at all, his right fist shot straight up!

“Bang!”

The long sword fiercely struck Lu Ze’s arm, emitting a dull sound. At this moment, Duan Ren’s arrogant expression also changed.

“What?!”

Duan Ren looked down, only to see that Lu Ze’s entire right arm was wrapped in Spiritual Qi, which had transformed into armor, actually blocking Duan Ren’s sword!

“Spiritual Qi transforming into armor? How is this possible?! You’ve only just entered Fourth Grade Lesser Completion, how could you have mastered it?!”

Duan Ren’s astonished words blurted out.

Using Spiritual Qi to form armor around the body is a unique skill in cultivation. This skill can only be achieved through one’s own Epiphany; there is no secret to teaching it.

Therefore, some people have an early Awakening, while others have a later Awakening.

Since records began, the lowest cultivation level at which this method was comprehended was Fourth Grade Lesser Completion.

At that time, those who comprehended Spiritual Qi transforming into armor at Fourth Grade Lesser Completion were already considered exceptionally intelligent, and their path of cultivation was even more admirable. Even so, that person only had a sudden Epiphany a full three months after entering Fourth Grade Lesser Completion!

Lu Ze had an Epiphany already?!

Under Duan Ren’s disbelieving gaze, Lu Ze’s surrounding Spiritual Qi surged, and his right hand suddenly exerted force!

“Bang!”

A dull sound rang out, and Duan Ren’s figure was sent flying by Lu Ze’s punch, retreating dozens of meters before he could stabilize himself!
