426: Mayfly Sees the Blue Sky

Just as Luo Chen left, a powerful surge of Dou Qi erupted in the distance, and the immense Aura oppressed everyone, making them unable to breathe.

Lu Xingchen looked up and saw Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, whom he had met once before.

Previously, the gap between the two of them was too large. Even with the System, he could not discern Shi Lei's Realm.

But now he could.

Shi Lei's Realm had already reached Four-Star Martial Saint, making him stronger than Bai Cang, the Saint from the Sacred Dragon Palace, and even his own teacher, Jiang Taishen, whom he had met previously.

No wonder he could become a vice hall master; his strength surpassed that of ordinary Human Emperor Hall Enshriners.

Having reached the Four-Star Martial Saint cultivation level, Shi Lei's mastery over the Power of Law was already quite proficient, allowing him to precisely control his Dou Qi.

He actively released his pressure not to show off, but to intimidate those causing trouble.

As early as when Luo Chen publicly provoked Lu Xingchen, this news was reported layer by layer by the Human Emperor Hall Elders and reached Shi Lei's ears.

Others did not know Lu Xingchen's identity, but Shi Lei did. If the Human Race War God were truly allowed to die within the Human Emperor Hall, it would be an absolute disgrace.

Without any hesitation, Shi Lei immediately put aside all his affairs and rushed over to rescue Lu Xingchen.

That Luo Chen had an extremely high opinion of himself and didn't even put the Human Emperor Hall in his eyes. If a Saint hadn't appeared, he probably wouldn't have been suppressed.

"Fighting is prohibited within the Human Emperor Hall! Luo Chen, Lu Dazhuang, stop immediately! Otherwise, I will revoke your qualifications to participate in the Martial Arts Convention!"

Shi Lei's voice arrived before he did, his majestic voice echoing throughout the entire peak.

But when he flew to the mountaintop and saw the situation clearly, he was slightly stunned.

Luo Chen was long gone, and Lu Xingchen and the other three were staring at him wide-eyed.

Shi Lei immediately retracted his Aura, looking no different from an ordinary middle-aged man. Apart from Lu Xingchen, no one could sense his Realm.

Shi Lei landed on the peak in front of Lu Xingchen and said in a deep voice, "War God His Excellency, what is the situation here?"

His voice at this moment was that of a normal conversation, which the other onlookers could not hear.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Hall Master Shi, you arrived late. Luo Chen has already been sent away by me. But regardless, thank you for your assistance."

Shi Lei nodded lightly and said softly, "It is what I should do. You are the Human Race War God, so of course I..."

As he spoke, he noticed the lingering bloodstain at the corner of Lu Xingchen's mouth, and his expression immediately sobered.

"You are injured? Is it serious, and will it affect the Martial Arts Convention?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's a minor issue. I can recover in three days."

Shi Lei said in a deep voice, "Luo Chen is truly lawless, but I genuinely have no way to deal with him. Luoshen Palace is managed by the Righteous Path Alliance and has no direct relation to our Human Emperor Hall. If we want to touch him, we must negotiate with the Righteous Path Alliance."

"If you are willing to expose your identity as the War God, I can guarantee that Luo Chen will lose his eligibility to compete!"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and chuckled, "Now is not the time. After the Martial Arts Convention begins, I will rely on my own strength to seek revenge. Thank you, Hall Master Shi, for standing up for me."

Lu Xingchen did not want to expose his identity so quickly, and merely disqualifying Luo Chen from the competition would not harm him significantly.

He wanted him dead!

Shi Lei nodded slightly.

"The ideas of you young people are different from those of an old man like me. Since that is the case, I will await your good news. Although your Realm is currently inferior to Luo Chen's, you are someone who excels at creating miracles. Since you could create a miracle at the Demon-Rejecting Pass, you can naturally create a second one!"

Lu Xingchen nodded lightly.

"That is natural."

Shi Lei patted Lu Xingchen on the shoulder.

"Since you are fine, I will leave first. Keep it up, and prepare well for the battle!"

Having said that, Shi Lei spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew off into the distance.

Only after Shi Lei left the peak did the other four dare to approach.

Zuoqiu Qingluo's face was full of little stars.

"Wow, Big Strong One, you're amazing! You actually have a relationship with Hall Master Shi!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "What kind of relationship could I have with him? He was just handling official business."

Lin Xu said in a deep voice, "This Shi Lei is very strong. I couldn't sense his Realm at all, only knowing he was in the Saint Realm. Junior Brother, can you tell?"

"Four-Star Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing this, all four gasped in shock.

So strong!

Peng Yu said softly, "Big Strong One, since you are fine, I will leave first. I hope you can successfully emerge from the special space. We will meet in the final round one year from now!"

Lu Xingchen cupped his hands toward Peng Yu in a salute and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Miss Peng Yu, for your assistance."

Peng Yu said softly, "Losing to you twice in a row truly infuriated me. After you left last time, I accepted a special Legacy from the Medicine King Valley. I am different now than I was before. The next time we fight, you might not be my opponent!"

Having said that, she waved her fist at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I look forward to seeing Miss Peng Yu take action again."

Peng Yu nodded slightly, then flew toward her own room.

At the same time, she cursed inwardly, "This Lu Dazhuang, his voice is so flat, completely devoid of emotion. He doesn't take me seriously at all. The next time we fight, I must teach him a lesson!"

Immediately afterward, the four of them returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Lu Xingchen sat cross-legged on the cushion, took out several stalks of Spirit Medicine that helped restore Qi and blood, and consumed them one by one.

The events of today once again sounded an alarm for Lu Xingchen.

This Luo Chen's strength was truly too great; a casual palm strike could severely injure him. If Luo Chen went all out and revealed all his trump cards, it would be genuinely difficult for him to fight.

And there was Peng Yu. After a month's absence, her Soul Power had reached the Early Heaven Realm.

He sensed a dangerous Aura emanating from her, something that was absent during their first encounter.

Needless to say, Peng Yu had undergone a transformation as well.

The Lingyun Sect was only supported by Jiang Taishen, making its overall strength the weakest among the Ninth-Rank Sects, and it could not provide him with much information.

To become stronger, he still had to fight desperately on his own.

Kyushu was vast, with a population measured in the hundreds of millions. Everyone who came to participate in the Martial Arts Convention was a Prodigy from various regions.

Even with the System, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

But the person who shocked him the most was still Shi Lei.

Four-Star Martial Saint, he was truly too strong!

At the Demon-Rejecting Pass, his strength was still very weak, and he viewed Shi Lei like a frog looking out from the bottom of a well.

Seeing him again now, sensing Shi Lei's strength, was like a mayfly seeing the vast sky.

To truly be invincible in the world and embrace his two wives, he still had a long way to go!

Just like that, Lu Xingchen spent three days restoring his Qi and blood.

Early on the third day, a soft and gentle voice rang out throughout the entire Human Emperor Hall.

"All Human Race Prodigies, please proceed to the main hall Plaza to prepare for participation in the Martial Arts Convention!"

Lu Xingchen jolted, took a deep breath, opened his door, and flew with the other three toward the main hall Plaza they had seen before.
