Chapter 514: Your strength is terrifying

Zi Xi'er immediately walked to Lu Yuan's side, she raised her hand to reject Feng Tingyu's provocation, "Feng Tingyu, please don't forget that our Ziyun Clan is determined by ability and strength."

"The leader decided to let Lu Yuan represent us in battle, indicating he has sufficient strength."

"Strength?"

Feng Tingyu sneered, "I've never seen anything special about him."

"This challenge, I will make him withdraw from the Heavenly Gang Battle in the most embarrassing way, submitting beneath me."

Everyone's gazes turned toward Lu Yuan, expecting his response to Feng Tingyu's challenge.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, he said respectfully, "Brother Feng Tingyu, you overpraise me."

"This Heavenly Gang Battle is merely fleeting clouds; victory or defeat cannot represent everything." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, he said respectfully, "Brother Feng Tingyu, you overpraise me."

"This Heavenly Gang Battle is merely fleeting clouds; victory or defeat cannot represent everything." His voice was firm and confident.

Zi Cui Ling looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

She knew Feng Tingyu's strength was not to be underestimated; if Lu Yuan could not defeat him, it would deal a considerable blow to the clan's reputation.

But she still chose to believe Lei Xianyi's recommendation.

"Lu Yuan, I believe in you."

Zi Cui Ling did not avoid the fact, "However, in this clan, experience and strength are also very important."

"Before this Heavenly Gang Battle, you need to demonstrate sufficient strength to completely dispel doubts and dissatisfaction."

After a moment of silence, Zi Xi'er stepped forward to stand beside Lu Yuan.

"Sister is right."

Her gaze firm, "I believe Lu Yuan can accomplish the mission and achieve victory."

"Our clan must not waver because of some people's dissatisfaction."

Feng Tingyu snorted coldly, he was not genuinely convinced.

"Lu Yuan, I hope you can truly show something."

"Otherwise, you will face a greater challenge from me."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, he stared at Feng Tingyu, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"I will do my best."

He said, "Whether for the clan's honor or my own growth, I will not retreat easily."

Everyone nodded silently, they saw determination and a sense of responsibility in Lu Yuan's gaze.

Zi Cui Ling's worries were not completely dispelled, but she decided to trust Lu Yuan, giving him a chance to demonstrate his strength.

"Good."

She nodded, "There is still some time before the Heavenly Gang Battle; Lu Yuan, you need to focus your energy on cultivation and training."

"Representing the clan in this battle is a great honor and responsibility; please do not disappoint our expectations."

"Thank you, leader." Lu Yuan bowed respectfully.

The atmosphere in the Ziyun Clan Decision Hall was somewhat heavy, yet a turning point had arrived.

Zi Xi'er stood beside Lu Yuan, firmly supporting him, igniting new hope in everyone's hearts. With two days left until the Heavenly Gang Battle, Lu Yuan cultivated wholeheartedly in the training ground arranged by the clan.

He exuded a solemn aura, as if the entire space were occupied by him.

At that moment, a ray of sunlight illuminated the entire training ground.

Lu Yuan raised his head, only to see a young man confidently walking into the field.

He wore splendid robes, his expression arrogant and conceited.

This person was none other than the somewhat renowned Qingyang Jun of the clan.

Qingyang Jun glanced around without looking askance, then sneered, "Lu Yuan, I hear you are the Ziyun Clan's hope star?"

"I truly admire your daring to challenge me before the Heavenly Gang Battle."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, unmoved by Qingyang Jun's provocation.

"Brother Qingyang Jun, you overpraise me."

"I am here merely to increase my strength, not to challenge you."

Qingyang Jun's brows furrowed slightly, he said discontentedly, "Your evasive attitude is unsuitable for a clan leader candidate."

"If you can't even defeat me, how could you represent our Ziyun Clan in the Heavenly Gang Battle?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he calmly replied, "Since you say so, then I'll play along with you."

Before his words faded, Lu Yuan's aura suddenly turned sharp; he formed hand seals, and a golden light emanated from his hands.

Immediately, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword transformed into a laser beam stabbing toward Qingyang Jun.

Qingyang Jun laughed loudly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"You think you can defeat me just by relying on the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword? Ridiculous!"

A flame ignited in his hand, meeting Lu Yuan's attack.

The two powerful forces collided in midair, bursting with blinding light.

The other onlookers in the field stared dumbfounded at this sudden battle.

The strength Lu Yuan displayed left them stunned. With two days left before the Heavenly Gang Battle begins, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er to the central area of Heavenly Gang Valley, which is the martial arts arena.

On this vast field gathered many cultivators from various clans, each striving for victory in the Heavenly Thunder Contention Battle.

Lu Yuan only felt the surrounding atmosphere tense and fiery, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over the faces in the crowd.

Suddenly, he saw a figure that made him angry and helpless—Feng Tingyu.

Feng Tingyu had always been full of mockery and contempt toward Lu Yuan, his eyes brimming with arrogance.

He approached Lu Yuan, sized him up, and sneered, "Lu Yuan, are you also here to participate in the Heavenly Thunder Contention Battle?"

"Ridiculous!"

「You are just an elementary body tribulation realm martial artist, what ability could you have? 」

Although there was fire burning in his heart, Lu Yuan remained calm and was not shaken by Feng Tingyu's words.

He smiled and replied: "Brother Feng Tingyu, you flatter me."

「I just want to test my own strength. 」

At that moment, Zi Xi'er walked up to Lu Yuan's side, she smiled and introduced to Bai Xueji: "Bai Xueji, this is my future partner—Lu Yuan."

「Although he looks young, his strength is extraordinary. 」

Bai Xueji looked at Lu Yuan doubtfully, "Are you the fiancé of the Zi Cui Ling clan chief?"

「I haven't heard of anything remarkable about you. 」

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, "Strength needs no words to prove itself; the Heavenly Thunder Contention Battle will give you an answer."

He turned away and no longer paid attention to Bai Xueji's doubts.

A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, Su Liyan walked up to Lu Yuan's side and looked disdainfully at Bai Xueji, "Miss Bai Xueji, the Zi Cui Ling clan chief is one of the top cultivators of the clan; her choice of Lu Yuan has her own reasons."

「If you doubt Lu Yuan's strength, we can let the Heavenly Thunder Contention Battle decide. 」

Bai Xueji frowned slightly, stared at Lu Yuan for a moment, then couldn't help sighing: "Although I still doubt your participation in the Heavenly Thunder Contention Battle, since Zi Xi'er thinks so highly of you, I won't say anything more." (End of chapter)
