Chapter 10: Another Punch, Shattering Everyone's Dreams!
"Wait!"
The Second Elder gritted his teeth and stood up, throwing his Storage Ring directly onto the arena: "The Storage Ring is yours!"
"However, I only represent myself; I cannot represent anyone else."
If Lu Xuanyin were to withdraw from the competition now, he would be extremely unwilling.
If the position of Saint Son were seized by Lu Wenbin or Lu Zhuoyuan, he would lose his chance at the position of Clan Head.
In the Bahuang clan, the Clan Head and the Saint Son are all one family.
Because the Saint Son is cultivated as the future Clan Head, the clan's resources are also tilted toward the Saint Son.
"Good!"
Lu Tianyu agreed immediately: "Since the Second Elder is so generous, I will reluctantly accept it."
"But don't come crying to me later when you lose."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qingfeng's nose was almost crooked with anger.
He snorted coldly: "The one who should be crying later is you."
To be cautious, he still called Lu Xuanyin over to instruct her: "That brat is strange; you must be careful."
He quietly stuffed a talisman into Lu Xuanyin's hand: "Once you get on the stage, stick this Defense Talisman on and activate it."
"Don't hold back, beat that brat down as quickly as possible!"
He sensed that Lu Tianyu was not quite right today; he didn't look like someone who had given up on himself at all.
For this reason, he gave Lu Xuanyin a mid-grade Defense Talisman to ensure nothing went wrong.
Lu Xuanyin gritted her teeth and said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely beat him until he can't take care of himself!"
Whether it was a sneak attack or a frontal assault, she, a cultivator at the Guangguang Stage, had indeed been sent flying by a single punch from a mortal with no cultivation.
If this matter were to spread, her face as the number one proud daughter of heaven in Donghuang would be completely lost.
She must pay him back double to wash away the humiliation!
Swish!
Lu Xuanyin landed lightly on the arena and activated the Defense Talisman immediately.
A yellow glow enveloped her body; she injected Spiritual Power into the Xuehua Sword in her hand and shouted sharply: "Give me your life!"
As soon as Lu Xuanyin made a move, it was the 'pierce' technique of the Xuehua Sword Technique, aimed solely at Lu Tianyu's heart.
Lu Tianyu pretended to cry out: "The old one is afraid the young one can't win, so he even put a turtle shell on her."
"Do you think it's useful just because you put on a turtle shell?"
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Lu Tianyu's mouth, and he shouted: "Gold-Breaking!"
He turned sideways into a bow stance and smashed a Golden Dragon Fist from the side toward the Xuehua Sword.
Golden light flickered faintly on his fist, and a golden dragon coiled around his arm, with the sound of a dragon's roar entering the ears of everyone at the scene.
The crowd was immediately shocked: "This..."
"What kind of fist technique is this? And there's a golden dragon coiling around his arm; it looks very powerful!"
"There is no fluctuation of Spiritual Power on him; it should be a fist technique for Body Refining, and the golden light should be the Gang Qi of a Body Refiner."
"No wonder he is so arrogant; it turns out he has practiced a fist technique."
"But so what? No matter how hard his fist is, how can it be harder than the Xuehua Sword! And what 'Gold-Breaking', I think it's his fist that should be broken."
Lu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
He felt that the Metal Attribute Gang Qi on Lu Tianyu's fist was incomparably overbearing, possessing an aura of invincibility.
Sure enough.
The next second, he let out an exclamation: "How is this possible!"
Clang!
The moment the Golden Dragon Fist made contact with the Xuehua Sword, the sound of metal clashing was accompanied by a dragon's roar.
Lu Xuanyin felt an irresistible, massive force strike from the Xuehua Sword.
Then, her entire body was sent flying again like a sack.
Without any power to resist!
The terrifying force pushed her body into the crowd, knocking over five or six people before it stopped.
Lu Xuanyin's chest surged with blood, she saw stars, and a sweetness in her throat made her almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
She hurriedly took out the Xuehua Sword to support her body, and only then did she barely manage to control herself and not fall down.
The talisman outside her body did not shatter; she had been injured internally by the massive force.
But the matter was not over yet.
Amidst cracking sounds, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Xuehua Sword, visible to the naked eye.
Then, in her incredibly shocked gaze, the Xuehua Sword actually shattered piece by piece.
Clatter, it completely shattered into a pile of fragments!
With her Life-bound Artifact shattered, Lu Xuanyin could no longer control the blood in her body and spat out several mouthfuls in a row.
Her body swayed and was about to fall, but she was caught by Lu Qingfeng, who had flashed over.
Lu Xuanyin murmured: "I lost!"
At this moment, she was thoroughly convinced.
Although she had only used eighty percent of her strength, her precious sword had been shattered by someone else's fist; she had been defeated completely.
The Second Elder looked at his granddaughter's listless appearance, his eyes filled with nothing but horror!
Being able to shatter the Xuehua Sword with a fist is not something an ordinary person can do.
His body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth: "We have all been deceived; this brat clearly hid his strength."
"During these three months that he disappeared, although he lost all his cultivation, he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity and practiced a Body Refining Technique."
He was very clear that the difficulty for a Body Refiner to cultivate is much harder than for a Qi Refiner, and the pain of tempering the body is not something an ordinary person can endure.
For Lu Tianyu to be able to cultivate a Body Refining Technique to such a level in a mere three months, it certainly could not have been done through conventional cultivation.
From this, it was certain that Lu Tianyu must have obtained a heaven-defying opportunity.
At this moment, the entire scene was deathly silent.
Everyone widened their eyes and opened their mouths, completely dumbfounded!
They all thought Lu Xuanyin would crush Lu Tianyu, but the outcome was completely the opposite.
Among the eighty-eight disciples who came to challenge, Lu Xuanyin's strength was on par with the strength of Eighth Elder Lu Yuanyi's grandson, Lu Zhuoyuan.
Even with such strength, plus the Defense Talisman applied by the Second Elder, he was still blasted away by one punch from Lu Tianyu and was also heavily injured!
Lu Zhuoyuan's strength is about the same as Lu Xuanyin's; wouldn't going up to challenge result in the same outcome?
Lu Wenbin is slightly inferior to Lu Xuanyin and Lu Zhuoyuan, so he certainly is not a match either, and the others are even less capable.
Especially the elders who participated in betting on the win or loss against Lu Tianyu; their faces were ugly to the extreme, one by one!
Right now, it is the rhythm of losing; if they lose, they will forever be controlled by Lu Jiuyuan and will never be able to hold their heads high again.
There is nothing more miserable than this, but right now they can do nothing!
Ten seconds ago, the challengers in front of the arena still had expressions of gloating.
Ten seconds later, they were completely extinguished.
The expressions on their faces were one uglier than the other!
It was as if they had eaten a basin of flies!
A smile finally appeared on Lu Jiuyuan's tense face: "Lu Xuanyin's challenge failed, the storage ring belongs to Lu Tianyu!"
He shouted happily: "Next!"
Lu Tianyu's sharp eyes swept over the challengers in front of the arena: "Lu Xuanyin's challenge failed, I see you all seem to be afraid of me now!"
"If you go up one by one, you definitely wouldn't dare!"
He released words that surprised everyone: "I see you are all unconvinced now."
"How about this, the rest of you come at me together!"
"However, if you lose, you must leave behind all your Storage Bags; if I lose, the Profound Void Mirror belongs to you, how about it?"
