Chapter 143: Why Not!

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "According to what you mean, there is no such thing as opportunity in our place."

"Or perhaps the cultivators here are too weak, and no matter how they cultivate, they won't achieve much, and they can't beat the ordinary cultivators from your side, right?"

He began to dig a hole for the golden-armored woman.

Sure enough, the golden-armored woman snorted: "That is roughly what I mean."

"Although your aptitude is a bit better, your combat power in the Emperor Star Domain is only equivalent to the lower-middle level among the heaven-proud cultivators on our side."

Lu Tianyu said "Oh": "That's quite abstract, I don't quite understand."

"Let me put it another way. If you suppress your cultivation base, what realm would you have to suppress yourself to in order to be equivalent to a mid-to-upper level heaven-proud cultivator from the Emperor Star Domain on your side?"

Cui Jinjia tilted her head slightly in thought: "A heaven-proud cultivator of the same realm as you, at a mid-to-upper level, is equivalent to me suppressing my cultivation to the mid-stage of the Fusion Period."

She stared at Lu Tianyu: "Since you asked this, how about we make a bet?"

"I will suppress my cultivation to the peak of the Fusion Period; if you can defeat me using any means, you can make one request that isn't too excessive."

"If you fail, you must agree to join my sect and come with me, how about that?"

She was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, and her understanding of techniques and martial arts was not something an ordinary cultivator could compare to.

She felt there was no suspense that she would win against Lu Tianyu.

If Lu Tianyu agreed, she wouldn't have to wait for a month, and completing the mission would be very easy.

"Why not?"

Lu Tianyu agreed immediately and stated his request: "If you fail, be my Protector; if you win, I will join your sect, how about that?"

Watching Cui Jinjia fall into his trap, he naturally agreed without hesitation.

He was still confident in his own strength.

When his Lower Dantian was unsealed, he discovered a huge benefit of dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts.

That is, the power of two attributes can be combined and used, and the attack power increases explosively through their complementarity.

According to the consistent view of the Tianhe Galaxy, Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi are two types of energy that cannot be compatible.

Improper fusion would cause a violent backlash.

This is the reason why a person cannot practice Body Refining and Qi Refining at the same time, and can only choose one.

"Protector?"

After Cui Jinjia was slightly stunned, she nodded in agreement and said haughtily: "If you can win against me, what does it matter if I become your Protector!"

She felt that she would absolutely not lose.

Besides, if Lu Tianyu really won, what would it matter if she became his Protector?

Once she became his Protector, wouldn't that be equivalent to pulling this kid into her own sect?

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "In that case, you don't need to suppress your cultivation to the peak of the Fusion Period; the Heart Movement Stage will do, so you won't be unconvinced if you lose."

A rare smile appeared on Cui Jinjia's cold face: "Then I won't be polite!"

"Come on, you strike first!"

Swish!

Cui Jinjia leaped into the air a hundred feet high, cast a spell to seal part of her cultivation, and suppressed her realm to the early stage of the Heart Movement Stage:

"How about this, neither of us will use any weapons, and we will only compete using spells?"

She prepared to expand her advantage once again.

Originally, she felt the situation was a guaranteed win, and without using weapons, her chances of winning were even greater.

After all, she was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, and her understanding of spells was not something the Heart Movement Stage could compare to.

She was bound to win.

But if she knew that Lu Tianyu had engaged in Soul Dual Cultivation with an Immortal Emperor-level woman for one hundred thousand years, she wouldn't think so.

Lu Tianyu naturally had no objections: "No problem, I hope you won't refuse to honor the bet or cry when you lose!"

Cui Jinjia scoffed: "You're talking about yourself, right? How could a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator like me go back on my word!"

"Enough talk, take this!"

As she spoke, golden light flickered on her body, and she turned entirely golden, appearing dazzling in the sky.

Swish!

She charged directly at Lu Tianyu and threw a punch at his face.

"Well come!"

Lu Tianyu immediately unleashed the Golden Dragon Fist to meet Cui Jinjia's fist.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, both sides retreated a yard, evenly matched.

This time, Lu Tianyu charged forward first and threw a Golden Dragon Fist.

Boom!

After the fists collided, the two sides separated again, still evenly matched.

Boom, boom, boom~

The two began to trade punches frantically; there were no flashy moves, just fist against fist, hard collision against hard collision.

Facing Cui Jinjia, Lu Tianyu did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

He felt the power coming from Cui Jinjia's fists, which grew greater with each strike.

Without a doubt, Cui Jinjia had a Metal Attribute spirit root constitution, and at least a mid-to-upper level Metal Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root.

Her control over her own strength had reached an unfathomable height.

It could be seen from the fact that she only increased her force slightly with each punch just how skillfully Cui Jinjia controlled her own power.

Lu Tianyu admitted that he could not do this yet.

Understanding is one thing, but truly putting it into practice is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only fifteen breaths had passed, and the two had already exchanged over a hundred punches, still without a clear winner.

Cui Jinjia's eyes were filled with immense excitement: "Warm-up over, how refreshing!"

"Come again!"

Whoosh!

She threw out another straight punch.

Ever since advancing to the Great Vehicle Stage, she had never suppressed her cultivation realm to fight someone.

Coupled with her naturally combative nature, she could not help but appear extremely excited.

The previous hundred punches had indeed just loosened up her body, and she had only used one-tenth of her strength.

Observing that Lu Tianyu was also responding with ease, the fighting spirit in her heart surged even more.

Lu Tianyu, however, clearly felt that using the Golden Dragon Fist alone was becoming somewhat strenuous.

He had no choice but to fuse the power of the Wood Dragon Fist to cope.

But just like Cui Jinjia, at this moment, he was very excited.

Because after cultivating the Five Dragon Divine Fist, he had never once had such a hearty and unrestrained battle.

Now that he had Cui Jinjia as a whetstone, how could he not be excited!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The hand-to-hand combat between the two became even more intense.

The commotion from their fight was significant, attracting many people in Donghuang City to watch.

"They're fighting, a man and a woman, trading punches? This is the first time I've seen such a simple and brutal way of fighting; it's so satisfying!"

"What do you mean a man and a woman? That is Lu Tianyu, the number one prodigy of our Bahuang Xingyu; I just don't recognize the woman, but she looks very formidable."

"This is just too good to watch! To think someone would use this kind of childish fighting style for a martial arts contest, one punch for you and one for me, it's so satisfying!"

"But at this rate, it's hard to determine a winner; their strength is evenly matched, who knows how many tens of thousands of punches it will take to decide the outcome."

"It won't take that long; haven't you noticed they are increasing their strength with every punch? The outcome will be decided very soon."

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Lu Tianyu and Cui Jinjia had exchanged over ten thousand punches, still remaining evenly matched.

Cui Jinjia's eyes held excitement: "Young Master Lu, next I am going to use ninety percent of my strength!"
