50: The leader of Quan Xing? If you come, I will let you fly!

On the competition grounds.

A large amount of white lightning coiled around Zhang Chulan, like a thousand birds chirping.

"Martial Uncle Tian! The Golden Light Spell truly doesn't impress you, but please give me some pointers on my lightning techniques!"

"Palm Thunder!!"

Zhang Chulan waved his hands, and several thick bolts of lightning struck towards Lin Yuan.

Even now, Lin Yuan still hadn't used his Qi; he merely punched the air from a distance.

Terrifying gales of wind, accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, slammed into the thick lightning bolts.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted, and the Yang Five Thunders were instantly dispersed.

Lin Yuan looked at the lingering electric arcs in the air, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Chulan, is that all?"

Zhang Chulan stared at the arrogant Lin Yuan, involuntarily swallowing. How the hell was he supposed to fight this? Martial Uncle Tian just stood there like a BOSS, and he still hadn't shown a health bar.

Zhang Chulan forced himself to perk up, continuously condensing the Yang Five Thunders with both hands.

"Martial Uncle Tian! I'm really going all out now! This move, after development, isn't very stable, and the 'Lightning Mode' can only be maintained for five minutes..."

With that, Zhang Chulan's limbs began to be enveloped in lightning. The electricity continuously stimulated his muscles, greatly enhancing his reaction capabilities.

Lin Yuan watched Zhang Chulan with a light chuckle.

"Hehehe, you've subscribed to the 'Lightning Mode' for five minutes... I'd like to see if you can last three minutes and be a true man."

Zhang Chulan moved rapidly, like a flash of lightning, darting across the arena.

Everyone could only see a streak of light moving around Lin Yuan.

"Hehehe, Martial Uncle Tian, my speed is at its limit now. If you don't use your Qi, you definitely won't catch me."

No sooner had Zhang Chulan spoken than he noticed Lin Yuan's gaze had been tracking him the entire time.

"Hehehe, kid, now this is more like it. Good speed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before Zhang Chulan's eyes.

"What?! Martial Uncle Tian, when did you..."

Zhang Chulan had no time to react and took a solid kick to the abdomen. Immediately after, Lin Yuan raised his right hand high and slammed it down fiercely.

"Oh no!"

Zhang Chulan immediately stimulated all his meridians, spinning in the air, barely dodging the attack.

Boom!!!

A tremendous roar erupted, and terrifying airwaves rose over three meters high, filling the area with sand and rock.

The spectators all felt the ground shake.

"My goodness! Just his physical body can split mountains and shatter rocks. If that hit a person, they'd be incredibly lucky to just be in pieces."

"Fierce! What a fierce man!"

"I can't believe it. What would it be like if True Man Lin Yuan used his Qi for a full-power strike?"

..."Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Zhang Chulan sat on the ground, panting heavily, beaten to a disheveled mess, his clothes covered in dirt.

During that confrontation, he had almost seen his great-grandfather waving to him.

"Alright, kid, quite agile, aren't you?"

"Martial Uncle Tian! If I weren't agile enough, I probably wouldn't even be able to be pieced back together right now."

Lin Yuan shook his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Alright, the warm-up ends here, Chulan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and the purple lightning in his hand transformed into a lightning spear.

The terrifying lightning spear even slightly distorted the surrounding air.

"Zhang Chulan! If you can block this spear, you win!!"

"What?! Is this for real now?"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, fully activating the Yang Five Thunders, and a thick bolt of lightning began to condense.

"Little White Serpent!"

Zhang Chulan seized the opportunity to activate the Golden Light Spell to protect his entire body, staring intently at the lightning spear about to descend from the sky.

The terrifying lightning spear emitted a dreadful heat; the surrounding wood showed signs of carbonization.

"Go!!"

Zhang Chulan controlled the Little White Serpent to charge towards the lightning spear.

But before the Little White Serpent could reach the lightning spear, it was completely annihilated.

In a blink of an eye, the lightning spear arrived. Zhang Chulan showed no sign of retreating, intending to use the Golden Light Spell to directly block the lightning spear.

"Ah!!!!"

As Zhang Chulan's scream rang out, his clothes instantly carbonized, his body was scorched black, and his hair and eyebrows were completely burned off.

"My goodness!! This big brother is brave! He's taking it head-on!"

"No, who is this brave and fierce general?!"

"Oh my god, this Shameless One is really going all out, he's risking his life."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Zhang Chulan knelt on the ground, continuously coughing up blood, his limbs blackened and constantly emitting white steam.

"Grandpa... Sister Bao'er... I did my best..."

Lin Yuan walked straight over and helped Zhang Chulan up, as black and white Qi flowed into his body.

"Senior Brother, I concede."

Rong Shan said with some disbelief, "Junior Brother! Zhang Chulan is barely capable of fighting right now. Are you sure you're giving up first place, giving up the Celestial Master Degree?"

"Senior Brother, I said, if this kid could withstand it, I'd let him win."

"Besides, the Celestial Master Degree is inherently a kind of restraint; it's not suitable for me."

Lin Yuan sighed as he looked at the somewhat disoriented Zhang Chulan.

"Sigh... Quickly find some clothes to cover this kid and arrange for him to get treatment."

With that, Lin Yuan turned and left the competition grounds... "Huh? That's it?"

"No, it was so intense earlier, and then it just ended like that?"

"What?! No salt at all?"

"Are you worthy of us? Geneva! Refund!"

...At this moment, everyone in the audience was cursing loudly... Lin Yuan suddenly turned back, his eyes sharp, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire venue, making everyone gasp for breath.

Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to make another sound.

Because in that instant, everyone felt as if they had seen their great-grandmother waving to them.

On the high platform.

Lu Jin's expression was somewhat grim.

"Sigh... Old Celestial Master... Is it worth sacrificing Mount Longhu's century-old reputation for this one kid?"

The Old Celestial Master, however, remained unmoved.

"What's the big deal? There's only one standard for the Celestial Master's selection, and that is the person recognized by the previous Celestial Master, regardless of strength. Besides, this matter is originally Mount Longhu's internal affair."

"And... in a while, the matter of Lingyu and Xia He will also be announced, which will cause an even greater uproar. Mount Longhu has stood for so long entirely by fighting!"

"If you don't understand the Daoist methods, this humble Daoist also knows a thing or two about fisticuffs."

...After leaving the competition grounds, Lin Yuan immediately began to prepare.

Tonight, the Old Celestial Master would likely pass the Celestial Master Degree to Zhang Chulan, which meant Quansheng would probably attack Mount Longhu.

Quansheng's objectives for this attack were many: retaliation, seizing the Heaven-Reaching Talisman, and retrieving Martial Uncle Tian's memories.

Speaking of Martial Uncle Tian's memories, that brought up Lü Liang.

During this time, he and Xia He had both been in the Tianshi Mansion. The difference was that Lü Liang was constantly monitored; his identity was special. In the original story, Gong Qing relied on him to obtain Tian Jinzhong's memories.

This time, with Lin Yuan present, Martial Uncle Tian would be fine. Gong Qing, for the secret of the Jiashen Rebellion, had hidden on Mount Longhu for three years, and Lin Yuan himself was now fully prepared.

Gong Qing, aren't you awesome? Don't you love to show off?

Acting Sect Master of Quansheng? If you dare to come tonight, I'll make you fly!
