Chapter 111

Lu Ren only felt as if he had struck a needle point with his palm; his entire palm was stinging everywhere, and his flesh felt as if it were about to be shredded.

"Wind-Thunder Force, it really is the Wind-Thunder Force. Junior Brother Lu wasn't bragging," Sun Tao shouted.

Just when everyone thought Lu Ren's previous success was just a fluke and he was far inferior to Lu Ren, he had, as always, followed closely behind Lu Ren to comprehend the Wind-Thunder Force.

Zhang Yong muttered to himself, "No wonder Master would sponsor him to practice martial arts."

He had found it strange before; Lin Cheng's personality was such that he didn't even look highly upon Lu Ren, so why would he look highly upon Lu Ren? It turned out Lu Ren's talent was not much less than Lu Ren's.

And honestly, he preferred Lu Ren even if he were in the same camp as Lu Ren now.

"Too cautious!"

Lin Wei happened to pass by and was speechless.

What "only just comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force"? She knew that Lu Ren had already comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force half a year ago, and now he might have even comprehended the Hunyuan Force.

These people were actually still making a fuss here, not knowing that Lu Ren had deliberately shown a bit of his sharp edge yesterday after being stepped on by Li Rui'an to avoid trouble.

"How is it?"

After one strike, Lu Ren stood with his hands behind his back, not continuing to strike.

To be honest, this was his first time experiencing someone else's Wind-Thunder Force, but it felt just so-so. It couldn't shake his physical body, which already possessed a trace of the "Vajra Indestructible" characteristic, and he didn't even feel much.

He felt that even if it hit a fatal position like the heart, the Wind-Thunder Force probably wouldn't hurt him, unless it was the Hunyuan Force or True Qi of the same level as the Vajra True Qi.

Lu Ren endured the stinging pain in his palm and said calmly, "It really is the Wind-Thunder Force. Very good. I thought you were going to be left behind by me, but I didn't expect you to follow up again. Very good. Let me see how long you can follow."

After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense and turned to stride away.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Ren's mouth. If he hadn't seen the fleeting gloom in Lu Ren's eyes, he would have almost believed those words.

His palm strike hadn't been easy to take. The two had bombarded each other with the Wind-Thunder Force, but Lu Ren didn't have his strong body.

Zhao Zhifei, Gu Haoming, and others followed him away, but Zhang Yong and the others excitedly crowded around.

"Junior Brother Lu, you truly surprised me." Sun Tao said.

"It's a pity. If you had comprehended it earlier, you might have been able to enter the Ten Heroes list," Zhang Yong said with regret.

Jiang Fan shook his head, "His comprehension might be comparable to Lu Ren's, but his bone structure is much worse. It's still hard to become one of the Ten Heroes."

Zhang Yong was dissatisfied, "It sounds as if you are one of the Ten Heroes yourself, yet you are here commenting on Lu Ren. Do you understand Lu Ren, or do I?"

Jiang Fan's face flushed red.

Wan Hai laughed, "I didn't expect that a genius comparable to the Ten Heroes would move into our courtyard."

He seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, and his smile was indescribably intimate.

"Senior Brother Jiang, why aren't you speaking?" Lu Ren looked at Jiang Ping with a smile.

Jiang Ping revealed an expression that was uglier than crying, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu."

He had previously thought that Lu Ren had been completely left behind by Lu Ren and had returned to his original nature from the Weiyuan Hall, looking down on Lu Ren everywhere. Now he only felt a chill down his back.

Offending a genius not inferior to Lu Ren meant his days in the future probably wouldn't be easy. What made him regret even more was that he could have become a true fellow disciple with Lu Ren, but now they were harmonious on the surface but at odds at heart.

Perhaps when they were outside, if Lu Ren had the chance, he would finish him off. He had already witnessed this guy's ruthlessness at the Martial Arts Examination.

"Junior Brother Kong, it's not good. I just received news that Lu Ren has comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force of the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist."

On the other side, Ji Jincheng also received the news that Lu Ren had comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force and hurriedly came to find his junior brother, Kong Yu.

This kind of force was a killing move specifically aimed at martial artists at the Great Completion of Qi Gathering, so it couldn't be ignored.

"Is that so? I didn't expect him to have this ability. That's fine; this way I won't be bullying the weak," Kong Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Ji Jincheng said anxiously, "Don't be careless. The Wind-Thunder Force is a killing move aimed at martial artists at the Great Completion of Qi Gathering, specifically striking the internal organs."

Kong Yu laughed, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Ji. Coincidentally, I also comprehended the Dark Force of the Wind-Startling Palm today!"

He raised his palm and placed it gently on Ji Jincheng's arm. The force lurking between his palm and fingers spat out, and Ji Jincheng's half-arm felt a stinging pain from the insidious force, as if his blood were about to coagulate.

Ji Jincheng was overjoyed, "Great, great. Junior Brother, you actually comprehended the Dark Force too. Hahaha... too powerful. You are worthy of being the genius ranked third among the Ten Heroes.

Ah no, you comprehended the Dark Force so quickly; I'd say your ranking could move forward a bit."

Lu Ren had been practicing martial arts for over a year and a half, while Kong Yu had been practicing for barely a year.

Not only did his bone structure crush Lu Ren's, but his comprehension was also the same. It was ridiculous that he had reminded Junior Brother Kong Yu to be careful; the two were simply not on the same level.

Kong Yu smiled, "Senior Brother Ji, be low-key. The two people ahead of me have great backgrounds. Don't provoke them; I'm fine with being third."
