Qin Ze had approached him mainly because he valued his potential. Appropriately showing some things to prove his weight in the alliance was not a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without connections or background, if you didn't even have potential, why would people share important intelligence with you?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The alliance was an alliance of interests, not a charity. Proving one's value was the only way for everyone to cooperate happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yue Gui was shocked, \"Good fellow, you really did comprehend the Wind-Thunder Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had actually asked casually and hadn't held much hope, but he hadn't expected Lu Ren to have really comprehended it. Looking at this posture, if he hadn't asked, Lu Ren wouldn't have taken the initiative to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he was, as always, later than Lu Ren, he had still comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Brother Lu, for comprehending the Wind-Thunder Force. Once you reach the Perfection of Qi Gathering, refining Qi into Gang will be much simpler,\" Chen Jiang stood up with a full smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the beginning, he had looked down on Lu Ren and didn't think Lu Ren was qualified to form an alliance with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now that the Wind-Thunder Force was out, he had become the least qualified one, because among the five, Qin Ze and Yue Gui had long since comprehended a force similar to the Wind-Thunder Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Liu Qian hadn't comprehended this kind of force either, she came from the Liu family and had an older brother who was third in the previous batch in the outer sect. Her sources of information were many, and her advantages were greater than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So now, he had suddenly become the one at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Brother Lu. With this talent, no wonder you looked down on the conditions offered by my father back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Qian also spoke to congratulate him. The conditions offered by the Liu family back then were indeed insufficient to move a genius who had comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force after practicing martial arts for only a year or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This talent, even if it couldn't make it onto the Ten Heroes list, was not far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Defeating Lu Ren in the Martial Arts Examination didn't seem to be a fluke after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren shook his head, \"The conditions offered by the head of the family were good, but I am someone who doesn't like to be constrained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, \"I know. If Brother Lu were that kind of person, we probably wouldn't have become allies today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Ze stood up and said, \"Congratulations. I knew my judgment wouldn't be wrong. Your talent is on par with Lu Ren's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren comprehending the Wind-Thunder Force dispelled much of the gloom brought by the breakthroughs of Gu Haoming, Han Xing, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The alliance's strength had greatly increased!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yue Gui laughed, \"Brother Lu, this personality of yours is not very good. Appropriately showing your sharp edge is not a bad thing. If you had said earlier that you had comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force, Li Rui'an's target today probably wouldn't have been you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Rui'an used stepping on Lu Ren to draw out the Dawn Society mainly because Lu Ren was a lone wolf with no power and no background, so he wasn't afraid of stepping on someone he couldn't afford to offend.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren shook his head, \"I just comprehended it. It's not like I can go around telling everyone I've comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force. It's not like refining Qi into Gang; saying it might just invite ridicule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although there were few people who had comprehended a force like the Wind-Thunder Force, among the three hundred or so new disciples, there were still twenty or thirty such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He continued, \"And Li Rui'an finding me probably wasn't because I had bad luck, but because it was Kong Yu's handiwork.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he hadn't heard the conversation between Ji Jincheng and Kong Yu, his five senses could distinguish that Kong Yu and Ji Jincheng's gazes were different from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Ze frowned and said in a deep voice, \"Are you sure, Brother Lu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it wasn't bad luck that Li Rui'an found him, but Kong Yu's arrangement, then according to the original alliance agreement, the matter was not just Lu Ren's business, but the alliance's business.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren nodded, \"It's highly likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Qian, Yue Gui, and Chen Jiang also frowned. Had the Young Eagle Society finally taken action?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then in the future, whether it's the Young Eagle Society or the Dawn Society taking action against Brother Lu, we cannot stand by,\" Yue Gui said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Jiang was silent for a while and said in a deep voice, \"According to the alliance agreement, it should be so. But back at the examination, Lu Ren beat Kong Yu's senior brother Zhu Yang to death. According to another clause in the alliance agreement, this should be considered a private grudge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it was a private grudge, they didn't have to intervene according to the alliance agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were just the Young Eagle Society, he wouldn't have said such words, but today's matter might have already provoked the Dawn Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Dawn Society had inner sect backing, so he didn't want to provoke them if he could avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Most importantly, Lu Ren did have a private grudge with Kong Yu, and many people knew that Kong Yu had always wanted to avenge Zhu Yang, so this matter might not be the Young Eagle Society's handiwork, but highly likely Kong Yu avenging a private grudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Qian said, \"It's hard to distinguish between suppression and a private grudge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Ze was about to speak, but Lu Ren preempted him, \"Let's treat it as a private grudge. Kong Yu does want to find me to avenge his grudge. I will handle this matter myself; the alliance doesn't need to confront them with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Qin Ze and the others to become good friends who shared blessings and misfortunes, and this matter was likely truly Kong Yu avenging a private grudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If one didn't distinguish between public and private, today others would be implicated by him, and tomorrow he might be implicated by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He hoped that this alliance relationship would be clear about public and private matters. He didn't hope for Qin Ze and the others to help him, which would make it so that in the future, if someone else was avenging a private grudge, he would also have to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, he saw everyone's hesitation. He might as well speak first. He hadn't really expected this alliance to solve the problem anyway; for him, this place was just a place to obtain intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No one spoke, because no one wanted to confront the Dawn Society. Lu Ren being able to admit it was a private grudge was the best thing for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he insisted it wasn't a private grudge, everyone would either have to bear it with him, or the alliance would have to dissolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the alliance could be considered to have a bit of a rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Ze said in a deep voice, \"If one day Brother Lu confirms that it is not a private grudge, but suppression from the Young Eagle Society, we will definitely take action according to the alliance agreement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Qian said, \"If I have any relevant news here, I will notify you. Even if everyone doesn't intervene, try to warn Brother Lu if there is news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren bowed, \"Many thanks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since there was no intelligence to share, this gathering ended quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren left the restaurant and rushed to Li Huo Peak to refine black iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not long after, under the publicity of Qin Ze and the others, many people from Qingyuan County knew that Lu Ren had comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Failed again. The bottleneck of refining Qi into Gang is far from comparable to the bottleneck of the Great Completion of Qi Gathering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren sighed and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Lu, did you fail again?\" Zhao Zhifei looked at Lu Ren's face and instantly guessed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren nodded, \"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhifei comforted him, \"Don't be impatient. You haven't even been at the Perfection of Qi Gathering for a month. It's normal not to break through. Under normal circumstances, even those who have comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force need to spend one or two months of sedimentation after reaching the Perfection of Qi Gathering before it's possible to touch the opportunity to refine Qi into Gang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Saying this, he revealed a hesitant look, as if he had thought of something, and finally chose not to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren frowned and said, \"Senior Brother Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it. Is it because I have been slow to refine Qi into Gang that there are rumors outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He saw Zhao Zhifei's hesitation. Thinking carefully, only his high-profile announcement of reaching the Perfection of Qi Gathering while failing to refine Qi into Gang could have been made into an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhifei thought for a moment and said, \"Promise me you won't let it affect your state of mind after hearing it, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren's eyes turned cold, \"Say it. Rumors can't affect my state of mind, and if you don't say it, I can still find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As one of the Ten Heroes, he had his own confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Zhifei knew the matter couldn't be hidden, took a deep breath, and said, \"The rumor outside is that Lu Ren has comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>An uncontrollable panic floated in his heart. Lu Ren only felt as if a shadow was covering him, and the sky had turned gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had thought that by comprehending the Wind-Thunder Force, he had already far surpassed that person, but he hadn't expected that, just like in the past, that person would follow him like a ghost and comprehend the Wind-Thunder Force as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter how well he did or how hard he worked, that person always followed slowly behind, as if carrying a kind of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A strange look appeared on Zhao Zhifei's face. The rumors about him being slow to refine Qi into Gang couldn't affect Lu Ren's state of mind, but the sentence \"Lu Ren has comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force\" had caused this genius among the Ten Heroes to lose his state of mind. Lu Ren had simply become his inner demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren took a deep breath and said, \"Who spread this matter? Has anyone verified it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhifei said, \"It seems it was spread by Qin Ze and the others who are in an alliance with him. As for whether it's true or false, no one has gone to verify it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren didn't say a word and got up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhifei's expression changed, and he hurriedly got up to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the sun set, Lu Ren stepped through the evening glow and descended Li Huo Peak with Chen Chao and the others, returning to his residence all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In front of the courtyard gate, Lu Ren stood quietly. People coming and going were all curiously looking at him, not knowing why this genius among the Ten Heroes would stand here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not far away, Zhang Yong, Sun Tao, Jiang Ping, Gu Haoming, Zhao Zhifei, and more than a dozen disciples from Qingyuan County stood together, all quietly watching this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard you comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force. Use your Wind-Thunder Force, otherwise you will get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren strode over, carrying a powerful aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One step per ten feet. After three steps, he was already in front of Lu Ren. His palm struck out silently, without any massive momentum, but there was powerful force lurking between his palm and fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wind-Thunder Force: light and agile like the wind, fierce like a galloping thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Ren's expression remained unchanged, and his palm also struck out lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next moment, the two palms collided, and the force surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2146,"2026-06-16T12:17:41.122Z","2026-06-17T08:54:06.718Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","934dc818750cc9a075d5b70b6436d2c9d5f0c6bfabcb8b8b6b8d0f42d63ce81d","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-111","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-109",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
