Chapter 149

"What's the matter? Wanliu Academy is huge—don't you even have anyone who can fight?"

"You're usually pretty capable—how did you become such cowards?"

"I say we just rename Wanliu Academy to Wan Coward Academy."

Outside the gate of Wanliu Academy, Li Bubian grabbed a loudspeaker and loudly berated Wanliu Academy.

These students have been out for half a day, yet nobody dares to go up.

Lu Xun just won the ultimate prize of the secret realm trial; in the secret realm he killed a bunch of even fourth-realm cultivators, his ferocious might is at its peak—how could ordinary students have the courage to go up and challenge him?

"Lu Xun, I'll come meet you!"

Li Bubian's words successfully stimulated the students of Wanliu Academy.

A third-realm student shouted loudly and leapt onto the stage.

"You're a real man—you make the first move."

Lu Xun said lightly.

That student wasn't polite either, changing his palm to a fist and fiercely attacking Lu Xun.

The stage rules still prohibit using weapons or talismans and other external forces; only one's own abilities may be used in combat.

As long as you knock one side off the stage, it counts as victory.

This student cultivates fist techniques and also possesses a Heaven Earth Meridian with the lightning attribute; when he throws a punch, faint thunder rumbles.

Although his momentum was astonishing, Lu Xun sent him flying with a single strike.

"Your Wanliu Academy students really can't take a hit—anyone else?"

Li Bubian shouted loudly, his voice full of mockery.

"I'll come!"

Another student, stimulated, jumped onto the stage.

He came fast, lost even faster.

Just a few seconds later, this student was blasted off the stage by Lu Xun.

"How come there's nobody who can fight? Even the fourth-realm ones are hiding like turtles?"

Li Bubian strained his loud voice, deliberately provoking the Wanliu Academy students.

"Damn it!"

"What's there to fear? Even if he won the ultimate prize, only he knows how much external power he used inside; on the stage weapons and external forces are forbidden—go up and fight him!"

"Then you go up."

"I'm only early third-realm; how can I go up? Go call those late third-realm and fourth-realm cultivators."

Many Wanliu Academy students were stimulated, each frantically shouting for others.

Although some details of Lu Xun's acquisition of the ultimate prize have already been exposed.

However, people only believe what they want to believe.

Especially when they haven't seen it with their own eyes.

These Wanliu Academy students are all big spenders, each holding a stack of trump cards.

Many students feel that even if Lu Xun really has some ability, he probably just paid for it.

Otherwise, Lu Xun is ultimately only third-realm; even with Dual Cultivation of immortality and martial arts, how could he be so heaven-defying?

Now the stage restricts methods, so there will always be dissatisfied students going up to challenge.

Then Lu Xun will teach them how to behave.

"So weak."

"If you're weak, practice more; don't go up and embarrass yourself."

"Yo yo yo, big bro, you're so big you can't even take a single palm from Brother Xun?"

Li Bubian's mouth has become a standard poisonous tongue.

"Numb!"

"I'm going to knife him!"

The Wanliu Academy students were each so angry their teeth ached, wishing they could tear Li Bubian apart with their hands.

"Anyone else?"

Another student was blasted down by Lu Xun.

"Me."

Students kept jumping onto the stage.

But these students are no match for Lu Xun in a single move.

Although Lu Xun hasn't cultivated other martial arts, with his current strength even an ordinary palm is something few students can withstand.

Back when he was still second-realm, even late third-realm Xia Yu dared not clash head-on with Lu Xun.

Among the students who came up, there were also those skilled in speed like Xia Yu.

But Lu Xun is no longer what he used to be.

Having broken through to third-realm in martial arts, even if he currently only has the Eye Aperture Divine Ability, students like Xia Yu who rely on speed can forget about trying to match him.

Moreover, on the immortal path, Lu Xun is nearly at the twentieth layer of third-realm.

In magic, Lu Xun has already broken through to fourth-realm.

Without a fourth-realm student coming up, it's hard for any of these third-realm students to withstand a single strike from Lu Xun.

Wanliu Academy has only a handful of fourth-realm students.

One is Liu Changfeng, one is Wei Guangyao.

There's also a female student named Qi Ruolan who is fourth-realm, but she's rather reclusive and didn't stand out much in the previous secret realm trial.

Even if he comes to the Four Realms, Lu Xun isn't afraid.

The True Intent of the Four Realms is indeed terrifying.

But True Intent isn't everything; Lu Xun, relying on Chaos Power, is enough to go head-to-head with True Intent.

"Lu Xun, I'm coming to meet you."

Well, soon a student adept at speed showed up.

This student's speed is not much slower than Xia Yu's, and his martial technique also has a certain phantom effect.

When he moves, his afterimages fill the entire stage.

If Lu Xun were still as before, he wouldn't even be able to tell where he is.

But once Lu Xun opens his Chaos Eye, he easily catches his true form.

Then Lu Xun threw an ordinary, unremarkable palm.

"Pfft~"

That student was just blasted off the stage by Lu Xun like that.

【Murong Wan's Thunderbolt Palm broke through a level, you gain forty times Murong Wan's harvest.】

【You obtain Thunder Prison Thousand Calamities Hand.】

As they fought, suddenly, a return from Murong Wan arrived.

Murong Wan just learned a new martial technique.

"Thunderbolt Palm?"

Lu Xun blinked.

So that means Murong Wan was summoned by Fu Yue to go learn Thunderbolt Palm?

That's right.

Palm‑type martial techniques are extremely helpful for opening the hand apertures at the Three Realms.

Moreover, learning similar weapons ensures that even if one loses a weapon in battle, one's combat power won't drop drastically.

Thunderbolt Palm is a basic palm technique, but its learning difficulty is not low either.

When it came to Lu Xun, it instantly underwent a qualitative change.

From Thunderbolt Palm it turned into Thunder Prison Thousand Calamities Hand.

The feature of Thunderbolt Palm is its speed—extremely fast punches, the palm gives birth to thunderbolts, making it hard to defend against and possessing tremendous power.

After becoming Thunder Prison Thousand Calamities Hand, the palm becomes as fast as lightning; when mastered to a high level, one can unleash a thousand palms in an instant.

The power of those thousand palms can stack together, erupting in astonishing destructive force.

"It came just in time."

Thunder Prison Thousand Calamities Hand came just in time.

Now, even if Liu Changfeng and Wei Guangyao step onto the stage, Lu Xun is confident he can end the fight quickly.

"Wei Ge, Wei Ge, something terrible has happened—a major incident!"

Inside Ten Thousand Willows Academy, several students ran to the cultivation chamber where Wei Guangyao was.

"What?"

Wei Guangyao was about to enter closed‑door cultivation when several people disturbed him, leaving him displeased.

"Lu Xun ran outside the academy and set up a stage; I suspect he's coming for us."

One student said.

"No need to suspect—he's definitely coming for us."

Lin Qiang said firmly.

Wei Guangyao's face darkened at once upon hearing them.

Although Lu Xun hasn't yet brought up their debt, the situation clearly isn't looking good.

No need for other students to say.

Wei Guangyao also felt that Lu Xun was coming for them.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Yesterday he was still trying to weasel out of paying his debt, and today Lu Xun shows up.

And on top of that, he's caused such a huge commotion.

Even any student from Northern Dipper University wouldn't dare do that.

Ten Thousand Willows Academy is so big that even if Lü Zhancheng just arrived, facing Liu Changfeng and Wei Guangyao, one couldn't say victory is certain.

Moreover, with so many students in Ten Thousand Willows Academy, who would dare set up such a stage, fearing a battle of attrition?

But Lu Xun dares to do it.

Lu Xun has done all this; as a Four‑Realm cultivator of Ten Thousand Willows Academy who also likes to show off,

If he hid and avoided showing up, people would probably talk behind his back later.

This is forcing him to reveal himself!

"Damn it!"

Wei Guangyao felt it was a hassle.

After deciding to renege on his debt, he prepared to go into closed‑door cultivation for a while—so even if Lu Xun came in person, what good would it do if he couldn't be found?

Even if they found him, he could still refuse to acknowledge the debt.

But with Lu Xun doing this, if Wei Guangyao doesn't show up, his reputation will be ruined in Ten Thousand Willows Academy.

Lu Xun has done all this; once he shows up, he'll surely have a follow‑up plan.

"Wei Ge, lots of people are looking for you right now—why don't these guys go look for Liu Changfeng and Qi Ruolan instead?"

「No way, who let our Wei Ge be the arena king, Liu Changfeng going on the arena can't beat Wei Ge, as for Qi Ruolan, that's a big shot's taboo, who would want to provoke. 」

「What's there to fear, this is the arena not the battlefield, Wei Ge will definitely defeat Lu Xun. 」

「Exactly, this Lu Xun is too arrogant, they are now spontaneously engaging in a wheel battle, after they wear Lu Xun down a bit, Wei Ge will go on stage again and knock Lu Xun off the stage. 」

「His strongest should be swordsmanship, on the arena weapons can't be used, how could he be a match for Wei Ge? 」

Several students came up with ideas one after another.

Wei Guangyao's eyes flickered.

He indeed is the arena king.

He used a spear, but initially to open the hand apertures, he trained his fist technique to a high level, likewise cultivating fist intent.

When true intent emerges, it can break myriad things.

Relying on his marvelous fist technique, he had once defeated Liu Changfeng on the arena.

Moreover, he had personally witnessed Lu Xun's combat; Lu Xun's formidable skill is indeed swordsmanship.

But Wei Guangyao still lacks confidence in his heart.

Mainly because Lu Xun's supernatural abilities are also formidable; the combat power he displayed initially was a bit too ferocious.

The biggest problem is that he chose to default on debt, fearing that Lu Xun is doing this to force him to show himself.

So, he hasn't made up his mind yet.

「I'm coming! 」

At that moment, outside the school gate, students jumped onto the arena one after another.

These students are mostly at the third realm.

They go up fast, and lose even faster.

However, even if they lose quickly, students keep streaming onto the arena endlessly.

「Yo, are they preparing a wheel battle? 」

「Definitely, they want to wear down Brother Xun a bit, then their fourth-realm fighters will go up. 」

「This Wanliu Academy can only resort to such tactics. 」

「Otherwise what could they do? Who let their opponent be Brother Xun! 」

Among the onlooking students, someone saw through Wanliu Academy's intention.
