971. Chapter 969: Heated Discussions

"Biological grandson?!" Lu Yun Tao stared, obviously not expecting that Yang Fan was actually Lu Yuan's grandson, "How could it be that Yu'er has fallen out with him?"

In the Lu Family, who doesn't know that Yang Fan's mother, Lin Wanrou, is Lu Yu's paternal aunt! In his impression, Lu Yu seems not to like this aunt.

"Hmph!" To the side, Lu Yuan's expression turned even icier, a chilling light flickering in his eyes, "Yang Fan is my grandson, but he is not my biological grandson! Yang Fan, he is simply not my biological grandson; he is merely my adopted son!"

"Adopted son?"

"This... this how could it be possible?!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun Tao and Lu Ping both underwent drastic changes in expression, their faces showing deep shock; they never imagined that Yang Fan was actually Lu Yuan's adopted son, no wonder he and Lu Yuan have fallen out.

For a moment, amid the crowd, discussions erupted.

"Back when I first married Yang Feng, I once suspected that Yang Feng and Lin Wanrou had an affair, but later it was proven that Lin Wanrou had seduced Yang Feng first, giving her the chance to give birth to Yang Fan, this bastard……"

Mentioning these old grievances, Lu Yuan felt a surge of resentment and anger, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Back then, I did go to Lin Wanrou to ask for the truth, but she flatly denied it, putting on an innocent act. I knew she was lying, but I could never expose her, after all, Yang Feng is her biological son!"

"So it turns out that Lin Wanrou back then was actually such a person."

Everyone suddenly understood, wearing a look of sudden realization.

"What a pity, what a pity..." Lu Yun Tao sighed, shaking his head: "If only we had known earlier, even if Yu'er was useless, we would have spared no effort to nurture him, making him the most outstanding existence of the younger generation of our Lu Family, even if we let him become the young clan chief, it would be fine."

"But Yu'er has been blinded by lard, insisting on marrying Yang Fan's sister Yang Yuxi, simply foolish!"

"Over the years, although Yang Yuxi has rendered meritorious service to the Lu Family, she has never imparted any martial techniques or cultivation methods, and our Lu Family is not lacking in such resources!" Lu Ping said resentfully: "If Yu'er married Yang Yuxi, how could he have ended up like this, reduced to a good-for-nothing, and our Lu Family would not be dragged down by a good-for-nothing!"

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the surrounding people, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must absolutely not follow Yu'er's example!"

"Father, we know." Lu Ping and the others nodded solemnly.

Although they disliked Yang Fan's behavior, they also did not dare to act as arrogantly and bully people as Lu Yu did.

In the Lu Family, Lu Yuan is the mainstay; if he collapses, the Lu Family will fall into chaos and may even head toward destruction. Therefore, even though Lu Yu is the direct line, they must endure and cannot let Lu Yuan bear a grudge.

……

Training Field Center.

Yang Fan and Lu Yu faced off from a distance, neither yielding.

"Yang Fan, I admit, you are indeed a promising seedling with enormous potential; given time, you will surely enter the ranks of Martial Masters! But..." Lu Yu's gaze was indifferent, "You are now too weak, unable to withstand a single blow! Surrender obediently; I see you as a man of honor, so I will spare your life."

"Surrender?!" Yang Fan snorted, "Are you even worthy?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes suddenly turned sharp, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting as he drew a playful arc, saying: "Since you are obstinate, don't blame me! Yang Fan, your time of death has come; prepare to meet death!"

Whoosh~ Before the words even faded, Lu Yuan's figure beside him vanished instantly, appearing before Yang Fan in a flash; he raised his hand and struck out a palm, terrifying pressure spreading, causing the void to tremble as if it might shatter at any moment; at this moment, Lu Yuan's speed reached its peak.

Feeling the approaching danger, Yang Fan's pupils contracted sharply, his expression instantly turning grave.

"This... is the Seven-Star Martial Master Realm!" Yang Fan's heart pounded violently. He could not fathom how, with only a Second-Rank Peak Warrior cultivation, Lu Yuan could easily break through to the Seven-Star Martial Master Realm! This is utterly inconceivable! Nevertheless, even if Lu Yuan had broken through to the Seven-Star Martial Master Realm, Yang Fan felt no fear; he believed that with just a moment's time he could suppress him, after which Lu Yuan would not escape! Boom boom boom~ Amidst sparks of flint, Yang Fan stomped his foot hard, his bones and muscles exploding with sound like rolling thunder; immediately, his right arm muscles writhed, a vast power surged through his whole body, and in an instant Yang Fan seemed to transform into a war god, his demeanor completely different.

"Huh?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"This... is body-tempering technique?!" Gazing at the iron-tower-like Yang Fan before him, Lu Yuan's expression turned strange; he knew Yang Fan possessed the body-tempering art Overlord Body Tempering Technique.

However, Yang Fan cultivates the qi cultivation art Golden Crow World-Burning Decree; the two are fundamentally different types of cultivation methods, and for Yang Fan to practice body-tempering technique is completely a waste of time.

"No matter what technique it is, today you will lose!" Lu Yuan's gaze gradually hardened, his form flashing as he lunged at Yang Fan once again.

Boom! Yang Fan drew a deep breath, pushed off with both legs, and shot forward like a cannonball.

Bang bang bang——

The two fists collided, bursting out a piercing explosive sound.

Immediately after, the two began to fight fiercely.

Bang bang bang——

Each punch collision was accompanied by a muffled thud, deafeningly loud.

"Yang Fan Brother..." Yang Yuxi gazed at the two wildly battling on the stage, her heart filled with extreme worry.

Although Yang Fan possesses the body-tempering art Golden Crow World-Burning Decree, he has not yet advanced to the Six-Star Martial Apprentice realm; with his strength, he is utterly incapable of matching a Seven-Star Martial Master, let alone the Eight-Star Martial Masters, Nine-Star Martial Masters, and half-step Martial Ancestor experts beyond! Moreover, his opponent is Lu Yuan, one of the top experts of the Lu Family!

"Sister Yuxi, rest assured." At that moment, a voice transmitted into Yang Yuxi's ears: "Yang Fan Brother will definitely not lose."

Turning her head accordingly, Yang Yuxi saw a boy standing behind her.

He was a boy about eight years old, his skin delicate, features exquisite, as if perfectly carved; especially his forehead bore a blood moon mark.

Yang Fan, this is Yang Fan's younger brother, named Yang Yu.

……

Lu Yuan and Yang Fan's battle intensified.

Although Lu Yuan had reached the Seven-Star Martial Master realm, he had not mastered the essence of the Martial Soul, having only grasped a third-rank martial technique, Tiger Roar Palm.

Yang Fan, however, possessed a Martial Soul and mastered two martial techniques, namely swordsmanship and fist technique.

In their clash, they were evenly matched, hardly able to gain the upper hand.

However, Lu Yuan, after all a Seven-Star Martial Master who had cultivated for many years with deep foundations and rich combat experience, Yang Fan ultimately fell slightly short.

Bang bang!

Yang Fan was sent flying by Lu Yuan's strike, landing in a sorry heap on the ground. (End of Chapter)
