Chapter 166

Although he didn't believe this situation, the current circumstances made him doubt his previous assumptions.

"Younger brother Luo Fu, congratulations," said Daoist Duobao, watching Luo Fu return.

"Big Brother Duobao, it was just luck—who knew Huang Long would surrender himself?" Luo Fu laughed.

"Surrendered himself?" Jin Ling Holy Mother chuckled softly. "Luo Fu, it seems you're hiding something."

"Hehe, Sister Jin Ling, what if I said my strength was so great I suppressed Huang Long?" Luo Fu said.

"Strength so great you suppressed Huang Long?" Gui Ling Holy Mother smiled faintly. "Does your strength surpass even Late Stage Jin Xian?"

"Late Stage Jin Xian?" Luo Fu thought for a moment. "I've never fought one, so I can't say."

"Hahahaha…" Gui Ling Holy Mother laughed.

But for now, she merely thought her younger brother was joking.

She never considered that Luo Fu was, in some way, telling the truth.

He possessed a body at Jin Xian limit.

This made Luo Fu's strength terrifyingly extreme.

Even if he stood still and let them strike, Golden Immortals could barely break his defense.

Yet physical strength, when not fully revealed, is difficult for the Primordial Spirit to perceive.

That's all.

Thus, after Luo Fu's battle, several more rounds of Combat World trials followed.

Wu Dang, Gui Ling, and other direct disciples, along with other Chan Sect disciples, all entered this battle.

Because the number of Golden Immortals was small, the Jin Xian-level battles ended quickly.

Not long after.

The entire competition entered its second round: winners fought each other, and victors advanced to the next round.

This continued until the final victor emerged.

The one who ultimately won first place could make one request of each of the three Holy Ones.

Whether it was a divine treasure, or something else.

That was entirely up to the winner to decide.

And what no one expected was that in the second round, two opponents no one had foreseen were drawn.

The battle between Blasting Guang Chengzi and Luo Fu.

Blasting Guang Chengzi, as the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, ranked among the very top even among Chan Sect direct disciples.

At least among the Twelve Golden Immortals, if he claimed second place, no one could claim first—that was Guang Chengzi's prestige and confidence.

As the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, his talent was, among all present, unquestionably the best.

In this Jin Xian-level competition, Guang Chengzi was widely regarded as one of the few qualified to become the victor.

Likewise, as a Late Stage Jin Xian, Guang Chengzi's strength drew widespread attention.

Luo Fu, as the Jie Sect disciple whose reputation had soared most recently.

His recent victory over Huang Long had been mysteriously won.

Now, as he faced Guang Chengzi, the true caliber of this Jie Sect disciple might finally be revealed.

Was he truly powerful, or merely lucky?

Now.

Because of his first victory, some had stopped daring to speak freely about Luo Fu.

After all, if Luo Fu truly possessed great strength, their covert gossip could bring serious consequences.

If Luo Fu took notice of them, that would be a tragedy.

"Younger brother Luo Fu…" Blasting Guang Chengzi stepped forward with a broad smile. "Brother has heard you defeated Younger Brother Huang Long—your strength must be extraordinary. Let me feel the power Huang Long spoke of."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Guang Chengzi did not hesitate; his figure flashed and entered the Combat World.

"Then let's see," Luo Fu nodded and followed.

This time, Luo Fu understood.

He must now reveal his true strength.

Facing Blasting Guang Chengzi, a Late Stage Jin Xian, he could no longer hide his power.

As for using the Dragon Clan's aura, it would have no effect on Guang Chengzi.

Huang Long was of the Dragon Clan; Guang Chengzi was not.

So to have any chance of defeating Guang Chengzi, Luo Fu must reveal part of his true strength.

Yet Luo Fu had prepared for this from the start.

Winning first place could not be achieved by mere luck.

Demonstrating absolute strength was the true path to victory.

"Younger brother Luo Fu may…" Jin Ling Holy Mother watched Luo Fu enter the Combat World, hesitating.

Even with her current strength as Jin Ling Holy Mother, whether she could defeat Guang Chengzi was uncertain.

How much less so Luo Fu?

Jin Ling herself was a Late Stage Jin Xian; Luo Fu had only recently broken through to Jin Xian.

"Perhaps…" Daoist Duobao's gaze was deep. "Younger brother Luo Fu may shock us once again."
