Chapter 9: One Punch Down!

~8 min read 1,455 words

Lu Tianyu had a smile on his face.

Accepting a challenge comes with a price; one cannot fight for free.

This is also his consistent principle in doing things.

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

What exactly does this brat mean?

He wants to demand a wager for a challenge on the stage; could it be that he thinks he will win?

Where does he get the confidence!

The only explanation is this.

Lu Tianyu is unwilling to give up the position of Saint Son and is merely making a desperate struggle at the final moment!

Instantly.

Looks of contempt, disdain, and mockery engulfed Lu Tianyu!

"Bet then!"

"If you have the ability, win all of our Storage Bags!"

"Playing tricks!"

Without exception, all eighty-eight challengers agreed.

Only the eyes of the various elders revealed doubt.

This child is so confident, he does not seem to be lying, so what is he relying on to accept the challenges of eighty-eight disciples?

Especially the Second Elder Lu Qingfeng; a sense of unease inexplicably arose in his heart, yet he did not know where this unease came from.

The corners of Lu Tianyu's mouth curled up slightly: "Since you have all agreed, the challenge begins."

"Who is first!"

He stared at the eighty-eight Lu family disciples, his gaze full of provocation.

Whoosh!

A green, graceful figure leaped lightly onto the arena and with a *clang*, drew the long sword at her waist: "I will give you one chance to strike!"

This woman had a pretty face and a seductive figure; she was none other than the Second Elder's granddaughter, Lu Xuanyin.

She could not stand Lu Tianyu's cynical attitude the most, so she was the first to come out and challenge him.

"Hand it over?"

"Hand what over?"

"Your Storage Bag, of course. Don't tell me you don't want to challenge anymore?"

"You haven't won yet!"

Lu Tianyu looked at Lu Xuanyin with a smile: "I have never lost!"

Lu Xuanyin was instantly angered to the point of laughter.

She took off her Storage Bag and tossed it onto the ground: "Make your move!"

"Considering you have no cultivation, I..."

Before she could finish speaking.

She saw Lu Tianyu strike out with a punch.

Habitually, she pushed out a palm, mobilizing the Spiritual Power in her dantian to concentrate in her palm.

She thought Lu Tianyu was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating his own capabilities.

But the next second, her expression changed drastically.

A massive force came from her palm, and her entire body was sent flying directly off the arena.

A calm voice rang out: "You lost, the Storage Bag belongs to me, next!"

Lu Xuanyin shrieked: "You used a sneak attack, you scoundrel!"

She was so angry that her face turned pale and her chest heaved violently.

She considered herself the most capable person to seize the position of Saint Son, which is why she was the first to step onto the arena.

Counting on the face of her grandfather, the Second Elder, she estimated that few people would dare to challenge her, which would save a lot of trouble.

This was also something discussed with her grandfather beforehand.

If she seized the position of Saint Son with this posture, it would be domineering and grand, and her reputation would be established in one step, directly overshadowing Lu Tianyu!

As for Lu Tianyu, she had not taken him seriously at all.

But she never expected that Lu Tianyu would suddenly erupt with all his strength while she was off guard, pushing her directly off the arena.

The immense grievance of being played surged into her heart, uncontrollable.

How shameless!

Lu Tianyu spread his palms and said calmly: "The one who should be a scoundrel is you!"

"Everyone saw it; you were the one who told me to strike first."

"Now that I have struck and you were knocked off the arena, you call me a scoundrel?"

"What kind of logic is that!"

He looked completely innocent.

This scene made Lu Xuanyin jump up in anger.

She leaped and rushed back onto the arena, waving her sword, ready to act.

Lu Xuanyin could no longer endure it!

But the next second, she was stopped by Lu Qingfeng's shout: "Xuanyin, wait!"

The Second Elder stood up abruptly: "Clan Head, Tianyu is playing dirty, striking while someone was unprepared; the challenge should be restarted!"

He feared that Lu Xuanyin would suddenly lash out and injure Lu Tianyu, which would turn a reasonable situation into an unreasonable one.

The Third Elder and Fourth Elder also stood up to rebuke: "Tianyu, in a struggle between clan disciples, you should not use such shameless methods!"

They all assumed that Lu Tianyu had resorted to opportunistic tricks; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be Lu Xuanyin's opponent.

Lu Xuanyin was, after all, one of the top-ranked individuals among the eighty-eight people; how could he possibly be defeated by Lu Tianyu in a single move!

Even when Lu Tianyu still had his cultivation, it would have taken him eight or ten moves to defeat Lu Xuanyin.

"All of you, shut up!"

Lu Jiuyuan's words were icy: "With so many pairs of eyes watching, it was Lu Xuanyin who let Yu'er make the first move."

"I announce, Lu Xuanyin, challenge failed!"

"The Storage Bag belongs to Lu Tianyu, next!"

Regardless of whether it was according to the competition rules or from the perspective of the Clan Head, once Lu Xuanyin was knocked off the arena, he had lost.

Impeccable!

Lu Qingfeng's face turned livid: "You!"

"I am not convinced!"

"What is the point of such a challenge? Does the Saint Son of our Lu family only know how to play these low-down tricks?"

The Third Elder and Fourth Elder were also enraged: "That's right, we are not convinced either!"

"Our Lu family disciples have always been upright and honorable; we disdain using such methods!"

With the three elders leading the way, over a dozen elders came out to support them: "We are not convinced!"

More than eighty challengers shouted in unison: "We are not convinced!"

"Too shameless!"

The crowd was incensed!

A tremendous pressure surged directly toward Lu Tianyu.

Lu Jiuyuan's expression immediately turned gloomy: "You are all questioning my judgment!"

"Am I the Clan Head now, or are you the Clan Head!"

Hum!

A burst of aura erupted from his body, meeting the pressure from the crowd.

Boom!

The two currents of energy collided in the air, whipping up a violent gale that swept toward the crowd.

It looked as if the situation was about to spiral out of control!

Lu Jiuyuan knew that the emotions of these people had been suppressed for three months, and during this time, the Second Elder had also won over quite a few people.

But for the sake of Lu Tianyu, he absolutely could not back down!

"Sigh!"

Lu Tianyu gave a light sigh: "Second Elder, I know you are not convinced."

"If you want Lu Xuanyin to challenge me again, you must add one condition: throw your Storage Ring up here."

"And you too, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, all of you elders who are not convinced, put your Storage Rings up as a wager."

"As long as you are willing to put them up, I will allow Lu Xuanyin to challenge me again."

"Otherwise..."

The next second, his voice turned cold: "I will activate the Three Great Absolute Kills of the Profound Void Mirror!"

"I want to see which one of you can withstand it!"

Cold light flickered in Lu Tianyu's star-like eyes.

Since these people were so ignorant of the rules, it wouldn't do not to collect some interest.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Lu Qingfeng's face immediately became very ugly.

He had indeed won over quite a few people.

But facing the Three Great Absolute Kills sealed by Ancestor Changmei, no one would dare to step out and oppose them.

No one was willing to die, including himself!

Lu Qingfeng had not expected that dealing with Lu Tianyu, a useless person with no cultivation, would be so troublesome.

Everything had exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, he was riding a tiger and found it hard to get off.

If he were to wager his Storage Ring, wouldn't he lose his entire fortune if he lost?

At this moment, he began to doubt whether Lu Xuanyin could truly win!

Those elders and disciples who had been shouting loudly just a moment ago now wilted instantly.

Their gazes darted away; they didn't dare to look Lu Tianyu in the eye at all!

Lu Tianyu snorted coldly: "If you don't have the guts, then don't clamor; next!"
