Chapter 501: Acting

Meng Jingzhou, lurking under Lu Yang's lewd power, was forced to agree to the previous conditions: this time he would praise Lu Yang, and next time Lu Yang would praise him.

The two great prodigies of the current era fought. Although it was acting, neither of them meant to reserve any strength.

Below the arena were big cultivators who had experienced many battles. If they fought with reserved strength, it would be easy to see the flaws, so both of them fought with all their might.

The two fought like the wind. Their strength, speed, and reactions... not only left the contemporary prodigies competing on the same stage dumbfounded, but in front of the two of them, winning the state-level competition and representing a state to participate didn't count for much. There was still a huge gap between prodigies and prodigies.

Even those cultivators who had dispersed their cultivation to restart were secretly shocked.

They had racked their brains to disperse their cultivation to restart, yet they were still no match for true prodigies.

The struggle of the great era was truly terrifying!

Lu Yang unleashed exquisite sword techniques, even Mingtai felt inferior. Meng Jingzhou's fist techniques had even received the true teachings of the Third Elder, bringing the advantages of body cultivation into full play. Every part of his body was trained to have no flaws, and even those Tribulation Transcendence stage ancestors couldn't pick out any faults.

"The Meng family bloodline is truly terrifying..."

An ancestor sighed in a low voice. The Meng family caused trouble in the imperial capital, making it restless, yet they could still sit firmly on the throne of the number one noble clan, relying on undeniable absolute strength.

The strength of the Meng family made even these Tribulation Transcendence stage ancestors feel shocked.

And the strength displayed by the Meng family wasn't all they had seen.

The fist imprints were magnificent, containing masculine energy, suppressing demons and ghosts, shaking the heavens and the earth, invincible, and fierce beasts had to hibernate under the brilliant fist imprints.

The sword Qi was vast, like a river breaking its banks, cutting off the fist imprints.

The two fought intensely, evenly matched. The prodigies watching the battle squeezed sweat in their palms, staring intently at every scene on the arena.

Only by concentrating could they keep up with the movements of the two.

These were true peers, and the things they learned from them would be of great benefit to their future battles.

Meng Jingzhou was careless for a moment, and the sword Qi scratched his shoulder, causing his blood and Qi to leak, putting him at a disadvantage. Lu Yang took advantage of the victory to pursue, not giving him a chance to breathe.

"Meng Jingzhou, don't give up!"

Someone shouted their inner thoughts. Meng Jingzhou represented the prodigies of the current era and was their hope. They didn't want the people of the Heavenly Court Sect to win.

"Defeat this young Sect Master Lu!"

"Let them know that this is the Great Xia now, not the ancient era where they could do whatever they wanted!"

One call after another reached Meng Jingzhou's ears, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute acting, any call was useless.

"Six Styles of Heaven-Shaking!" Meng Jingzhou was greatly encouraged, his veins bulging, his pupils bloodshot; he was going to fight for his life.

Lu Yang stretched out two fingers and wiped them on the blade, sacrificing blood to the sword, and unleashed his ultimate move.

"Void-Breaking Sword Technique!"

The two drained all their spiritual power for the ultimate showdown, kicking up smoke and dust that filled the sky.

Swish—

A figure flew backward, coughing up blood continuously, seriously injured.

"It's the person from the Heavenly Court Sect who flew backward!"

Someone was happy. This so-called young Sect Master Lu was seriously injured, which had never happened before!

Lu Yang knelt on one knee, his sharp sword stuck in the ground, having received a huge impact, his expression dazed.

But before everyone could be happy, they saw the smoke and dust disperse, and Meng Jingzhou was lying on the ground, blood flowing all over the floor, his aura weak, injured even more seriously than Lu Yang!

Meng Jingzhou's fingers moved slightly, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. He tried to get up several times, but his limbs seemed to be out of control, and he couldn't stand up no matter what.

He had to give up getting up in frustration.

Looking at Lu Yang, although he was seriously injured and kneeling, he still had the strength to smile and speak.

The winner had been decided.

The referee gritted his teeth. Letting an ancient person win the championship was a disgrace to the Great Xia, but he was the referee and couldn't favor either side.

"I announce, Meng Jingzhou... failed."

The last two words were held in his mouth, trembling, and it took a long time for him to spit them out.

The referee stepped forward to observe Meng Jingzhou's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was seriously injured, but not fatal, and wouldn't shake his foundation.

The five great Heavenly Kings jumped onto the arena and helped the young Sect Master up.

"Young Sect Master, are you alright?"

"Cough cough, I can't die. What a hearty battle." Lu Yang was still smiling, blood on the corners of his mouth.

The Golden Flame Heavenly King quickly took out a small medicine bottle, opened the stopper, and a fragrant pill scent spread throughout the arena. He poured out two golden pills and fed them to Lu Yang. Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the spot, his injuries and spiritual power recovering rapidly.

Meng Jingzhou lost.

The prodigy of the current era representing the mid-Jin Dan stage lost.

Many people couldn't accept this fact.

Just a little bit, it was clearly just a little bit away from winning!

The Seventh Elder's pills were very effective. Lu Yang soon recovered as before. Surrounded by the five great Heavenly Kings, he stood up with a smile and looked up at the five serious-looking sect masters of the Immortal Sects and the First Prince Jiang Qun.

"It seems that the prodigies of the current era also have some skills. You fought well, but it's a pity that it's only some skills, nothing more."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd below was immediately filled with righteous indignation. These words were too arrogant. What do you mean by nothing more? Everyone could see the gap between the two, which was tiny. A tiny detail could determine the outcome. If they fought again, it was hard to say who would win!

"Young Sect Master Lu's words don't put the prodigies of the current era in his eyes. You should know the truth that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. This world is not the world of your Heavenly Court Sect." Sect Master Lu looked at the young Sect Master Lu meaningfully, and anyone could hear the threat.

The young Sect Master Lu sneered, as if laughing at the ignorance of Sect Master Lu's words: "People beyond people, heavens beyond heavens? That's just an excuse for mediocre people to find for themselves after losing. In terms of talent, who can compare to me?"

The Nether Heavenly King looked at the crowd below with disdain: "If it weren't for the ancient immortals suppressing the young Sect Master, the young Sect Master could have become an immortal in ancient times. Why wait until today?"

The young Sect Master Lu glanced at the solemn Nether Heavenly King and waved his hand impatiently: "Nether Guardian, that's enough. I'm rarely happy today, don't talk about these unhappy things."

"Yes."

The Nether Heavenly King stopped talking and took a step back, like a clay statue.

Everyone gasped, the shock in their hearts couldn't be expressed in words. Had this young Sect Master Lu's talent already reached the point of making immortals jealous?

What kind of shocking talent should this be?

There were only four immortals in ancient times with clear records, and there had never been any records of how the four immortals' talent performed.

In other words, the young Sect Master Lu's talent was already a talent that had never been recorded in any book throughout the ages.

"It's just bragging. Since the young Sect Master Lu is so confident, why not try fighting me?"

Under the unexpected gaze of the crowd, Sect Master Lu jumped down from the viewing platform and landed steadily on the arena.

"Speaking of which, Sect Master Lu is also in the mid-Jin Dan stage, indeed counting as an opponent, but I don't like this tone." The young Sect Master Lu played with his fingers and said slowly.

The two looked at each other, as if there were sparks colliding. The five Heavenly Kings retreated interestingly, so as not to disturb the young Sect Master's interest.

"Then come?"

"Come!"
