135: God of War

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "There will be a chance, there will be a chance in the future."

Just then, a water pillar, a full five zhang wide, suddenly appeared from under the lake.

The four people gathered for a chat were all struck by the water pillar at the same time, suffering heavy injuries, and fell into the water one after another.

A roar came from the bottom of the lake, and another Thousand Zhang Water Beast appeared.

Li Fei, with his powerful Physical Body, was not injured. He was the first to fly up from the bottom of the lake, actively attacking the Thousand Zhang Water Beast and drawing its aggro.

The remaining three then had a chance to catch their breath.

Half of Xiao You's body was hit by the water pillar, and blood flowed non-stop.

After all, its Realm was only fourth tier eight-star, so resisting the Thousand Zhang Water Beast's attack head-on was still too difficult.

Lu Xingchen used Battle Qi Wings, flew up from the bottom of the lake, fed Xiao You three rejuvenation pills, and then put it into his mount space.

"Xiao You, are you alright?" Lu Xingchen asked in a deep voice.

"I won't die. Our Dragon Clan's vitality is very strong. With your rejuvenation pills, I can recover in one day. You deal with the enemy in front of you first; don't worry about me."

"Alright!"

Lu Xingchen flew in front of the Thousand Zhang Water Beast and took out his shadow sword.

He felt some anger towards this guy who had hurt Xiao You.

Lu Xingchen's greatest respect for an enemy was to completely annihilate them.

Long Chen and Jiang E also flew up, both with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.

Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, "Damn it, this Thousand Zhang Water Beast's intelligence is surprisingly high, attacking when we were most careless. Junior Brother Lu, I'm seriously injured. If I use Crimson Flame Slash again, I don't know if it will have the same power as before."

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly, "It's fine, Senior Brother Long doesn't need to act. I alone can slay it."

Hearing this, Long Chen was startled.

Lu Xingchen was so confident; did he really have the confidence to face the Thousand Zhang Water Beast alone?

Jiang E, however, knew about Lu Xingchen's secret technique and showed some anticipation on her face, wanting to see Lu Xingchen angrily slay the Thousand Zhang Water Beast.

Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you don't need my help?"

Jiang E patted Long Chen's shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, he can handle it."

Lu Xingchen slowly flew towards the Thousand Zhang Water Beast, activating the "Heaven Swallowing Art," and his Aura climbed steadily.

For every meter he flew forward, his Realm increased by one level.

By the time he flew next to Li Fei, his Realm had risen to Five-Star Martial King.

Long Chen stared intently at Lu Xingchen, feeling the changes in his Aura, and was incredibly surprised.

The second Thousand Zhang Water Beast sensed the threat and ignored Li Fei's provocation, focusing its attention on Lu Xingchen.

It opened its large mouth, and the three-zhang water pillar that had heavily injured the three earlier surged out again.

Lu Xingchen raised his shadow sword high and activated "Thousand Jin Slash."

A huge white Battle Qi Sword Blade appeared above his head and then flew towards the Thousand Zhang Water Beast.

The three-zhang water pillar was directly split in two.

Immediately after, the Thousand Zhang Water Beast's body was also cut open.

The water bead in the center of its body was directly shattered!

[Congratulations to the host for killing a fifth tier five-star water beast, gaining 50,000 experience points and 50,000 exchange points!]

This incredibly sharp sword strike stunned all three of them.

Even Li Fei, who had always been confident in his own defense, felt a shock in his heart.

He was certain that he could not withstand such a powerful sword strike from Lu Xingchen!

If that sword strike had come at him, his body would also have been split in two, just like this Thousand Zhang Water Beast.

With the second Thousand Zhang Water Beast fallen, the three of them were stunned for a while before they recovered and flew towards Lu Xingchen.

Long Chen's tone was full of shock, "This must be a secret technique that can temporarily boost one's strength, right? Junior Brother Lu is truly a young talent!"

After killing the second Thousand Zhang Water Beast, most of Lu Xingchen's anger dissipated, and he managed a smile.

"It was just luck. This secret technique can only last for half an hour."

Long Chen said in a deep voice, "I don't care about that. I only know that Junior Brother Lu, you have the strength to slay a Five-Star Martial King! You've only been in the sect for less than a year!"

Li Fei and Jiang E also looked at Lu Xingchen with shocked expressions, their emotions taking a long time to settle.

Because that sword strike was truly too strong, too domineering!

Long Chen continued, "Junior Brother Lu, can you grow stronger in battle?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

As expected, it was noticed.

But it didn't matter; he could just attribute it to a special Physique.

Anyway, there were countless special Physiques on the Tianyuan Continent, and growing stronger in battle was not a big deal.

The System was an absolute secret that could not be revealed.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and smiled, "Senior Brother Long guessed correctly."

Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Indeed! Junior Brother Lu, you have the Talent of a God of War!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

"Do the words 'God of War' have any special meaning?"

Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Of course. God of War is one of the highest honors of the Human Race."

Hearing Long Chen elevate the topic to the entire Human Race, Lu Xingchen was also startled.

"Could you elaborate?"

Long Chen smiled, "Junior Brother Lu, you haven't even heard of this? Then let me explain it to you!"

"As everyone knows, on the Tianyuan Continent, the Human Race, Yao Race, and Demon Race stand in a three-way balance of power. The Yao Race has always been conservative, adhering to the eastern continent, and coexisting peacefully with the Human Race and Demon Race. The Human Race in the west and the Demon Race in the north, however, are constantly at war, with four full-scale tribal wars breaking out within a century."

"The Human Race rose not long ago and has weak foundations, always on the defensive in wars, only able to ensure that the Demon-Rejecting Pass is not breached. And in every major war between humans and demons, a God of War would emerge from the Human Race, playing a huge role in the war and helping the Human Race repel the Demon Race's attacks."

"These four Gods of War all possessed a Physique that allowed them to grow stronger in battle, and they had strength comparable to a Martial Saint before the age of 30. The Demon-Rejecting Pass was built under the guidance of Zhang Xiaofan, the Human Race's first God of War, after he repelled the Demon Race's attack."

"People with a Physique that allows them to grow stronger in battle may not necessarily become a God of War, but a God of War must have the ability to grow stronger in battle. Therefore, Junior Brother Lu, I say you have the Talent of a God of War."

"The Human Race's next God of War might just be you."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was also incredibly shocked.

"Strength comparable to a Martial Saint before the age of 30? That's too monstrous! It's hard to say if I can even reach that height in my lifetime. So, where are those four Gods of War now?"

Hearing this, Long Chen's eyes darkened.

"They all died in battle at the Demon-Rejecting Pass, merging with its city walls."

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, "Then being a God of War is a high-risk profession!"

Long Chen said in a deep voice, "To die protecting the common people of the Human Race is a very great thing. I am proud of them and follow in their footsteps as my belief!"

Lu Xingchen said with a bitter smile, "I'll pass. I don't want to be a great person; I just want to live a peaceful life with my friends around me. It seems the title of God of War is not meant for me."
