Chapter 159
Just as Lu Ren was about to go up, Shen Yaoxing walked over with a frown.
As he walked towards them, the people around them gasped or exclaimed in surprise.
Especially Zhuang Jian, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment before explaining, "Ju, she's actually Shen Yanqing's granddaughter, Shen Yaoxing, who is said to be..."
Lu Ren stopped him, "Alright, Brother Zhuang, there's no need to explain this."
"The young lady of the Shen family is coming this way, Brother Lu, let's make way quickly. Now that the Shen family is in its prime, this young lady's status is among the highest in the Great Yu. We must be careful not to offend her."
For a small family like the Zhuang clan, if they offended the Shen clan, all of them, hundreds of people, would die without even knowing how they died—how strange, why is even the monologue in my mind becoming strange now, but inexplicably feeling quite exciting!
When Zhuang Jian saw the little princess of the Shen family walking over, with a frown and an unhappy look on her face, he wanted to quickly pull Lu Ren aside, but Brother Lu not only did not move away, but also went up to greet her.
"I'm sorry, Miss, I still couldn't stop her."
"It's alright, he gets into trouble wherever he goes, but what about you?"
Shen Yaoxing looked Lu Ren up and down but didn't see any injuries. Long You's hands were still bleeding, but he would get injured no matter where he went, so she didn't care.
"Young Miss, that bastard just now! He suddenly stabbed my brother with a sword!"
Lu Youhe came over to complain, and Xiao Yu was also chattering away. Although she hadn't seen anything, it didn't stop her from hating that silly fool Fu.
Even if she was wrong to collect protection money at the elementary school, shouldn't such a cute little girl like herself at most be threatened and then let go? But Gu Linfeng's cousin actually punched her in the face, almost making her cry!
Lu Ren said, "He probably wanted to provoke Long You and deliberately attacked me, but Long You stopped him in the end."
Longyou still felt guilty, "I'm sorry, Xiaolu, it's my fault that you got into danger."
As the mountains rise and the fish begin their slumber, these teammates who had just gone into hiding have returned.
Shan Qi, a legitimate sorcerer, was tending to Long You's hand injury.
Zhuang Jian was experiencing a system crash, not a complete system freeze, but rather a temporary lag caused by a constant stream of pop-up windows.
At this moment, he wasn't the only one experiencing this kind of system crash; everyone around him affected by the Dragon's Roar buff was in the same state, feeling like question marks and exclamation marks were constantly popping up in their heads.
As a commentator, he wanted to say something about the supporting characters, but when he looked at Shen Yaoxing, he spoke to Brother Lu, whom he considered to be a background character like himself, and his tone was filled with concern.
Wait a minute, this isn't right!
Brother Lu, you should join me on the sidelines, shouting and explaining, or verbally attacking that Longyou thing. What do you mean by the female lead in the story suddenly walking over to you? The plot shouldn't go like this! I don't accept it!
"By the way, Miss, this is Zhuang Jian, a member of the Zhuang family of Yanzhou, a friend I just met."
Zhuang Jian immediately stood at attention, head held high and chest out, and stammered a greeting to Shen Yaoxing. Shen Yaoxing glanced at him and then nodded.
Shen Yaoxing then looked at Chen Sui in the arena and snorted coldly, "After injuring someone, you think an apology is enough? You come and take a sword from my servant, and I'll make him apologize to you."
Seeing that Shen Yaoxing had already joined in, Shen Yu, always eager to participate, quickly said, "And he even launched a sneak attack! He just launched a sneak attack, and Brother Lu Ren was supposed to stab him ten times!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jian, who was standing to the side, suddenly understood. It turned out that Brother Lu was just Miss Shen's servant, which made things much easier to understand.
However, she suddenly envied Lu Ren's good fortune in being able to serve as a servant to a noble lady like Shen Yaoxing.
However, Elder Gu, who thought the matter was over, couldn't help but look a little unpleasant upon hearing her words. He had thought she was just an insignificant nobody, but it turned out she was Shen Yaoxing's servant, and Shen Yaoxing was holding onto her so tightly for the sake of a servant.
Even if her servant wasn't injured, could the life of a talented member of his clan be compared to that of a mere servant? He even suspected that Shen Yaoxing harbored resentment towards the Gu clan and was using this opportunity to cause trouble.
As a highly respected elder of the clan, he naturally wouldn't take a little girl seriously. However, the Shen family had indeed been very prominent recently, so he couldn't just ignore them. He could only give Chen Sui a dark look.
Chen Sui understood what her grandfather meant; he wouldn't cover for her in this matter and would have to calm the other person down herself.
Chen Sui looked indifferent and glanced at Lu Ren. "Then I'll take his sword too, but after I do, we'll consider this matter over, and he doesn't need to say thank you."
"Nonsense!"
Elder Gu scolded him, telling him to finish his business today and go to the Shen family to apologize. Although Chen Sui agreed, he still acted as nonchalant as ever.
Shen Yaoxing raised an eyebrow, still somewhat dissatisfied, but her hand was pinched. She saw it was Lu Ren, who grinned at her.
All the onlookers saw that the servant of the Shen family's daughter suddenly summoned a wooden sword and stepped out.
"No need for apologies. Just take my sword in a moment, and this will be over."
Chen Sui sheathed her sword and laughed arrogantly, "Alright, come on."
"No need, a fair fight will do. I'm in a hurry to drink my tea."
Chen Sui raised an eyebrow and said, "Interesting. You want to fight me?"
Seeing Lu Ren's actions, everyone on the sidelines was surprised, wondering who this guy was and how he dared to challenge Chen Sui.
Although many people dislike Chen Sui, even within the Gu clan, his own clansmen are annoyed by this mentally unstable lunatic, it must be said that Chen Sui does indeed have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with.
Chen Sui is 15 years old. Before awakening her profession, she defeated her cousin, who had already become a professional, with her swordsmanship. When she awakened, her main attribute was as high as 27. Now, she has entered the Flame Realm and has even broken through 5,000. She absorbed a gold-level spirit bone in the Flame Realm.
"You dare to draw your sword against me? You have more courage than anyone else here, but I refuse."
Unexpectedly, Chen Sui showed little interest in Lu Ren's challenge and sheathed her sword.
"My sword does not wish to be stained with the blood of the weak."
Lu Ren: "——" What kind of person is this? It's like he's watched too many chuunibyou comics. What does it mean to not want to get your hands dirty with the blood of the weak? Doesn't he feel embarrassed to say such a line?
"You said you didn't want to get your hands on the blood of the weak, but didn't you just try to kill me for no reason?"
"But I didn't manage to kill anyone, did I? I'm not really crazy to kill someone at a princess's birthday party, and besides, I have no interest in you."
Chen Sui looked at Long You: "You're injured, so I won't take advantage of you. How about we fight after you recover?"
After he left, only Lu Ren remained on the field. Now, he became the first person to step onto the stage, and everyone in the audience looked at him with eager anticipation.
In his heart, he asked, "Master, how much power have you regained?"
"Just a little bit."
"If you fell asleep after saving me, how long would you have been asleep?"
"I need to sleep until at least tonight, until my good apprentice replenishes my energy before I can wake up."
"—I knew it."
After calming down, Lu Ren had already thought a lot. Although his master said that in the Tianshan disaster, saving the entire city's people had exhausted a lot of power brought from the Shen Clan Divine Tree, she could easily deal with the Purple Iridium-level Void Beast that Ning Zhenshou had been struggling with that night. She also said that even when a person is starving to death, they would still have the strength to swat a mosquito. There was no reason why she would fall into a deep sleep because of protecting him from a Fire-level swordsman.
Yao Chen fell asleep because of Xiao Yan, which involved destroying Yunshan, a Dou Zong. His master was so powerful that he should have fought at least to the Burning Sun Realm before falling asleep, not because of a nobody like Chen Sui.
This woman still likes to tease him. Actually, she just wants him to challenge Chen Sui. In the end, he didn't think the situation was so urgent that his master had to protect him by going into a deep sleep.
He also had the "All Beings in One Form" ability, which only considers mental attributes, but it was useless. Even if his body couldn't avoid the sword, he could still control the opponent for a moment. However, his master appeared too suddenly, and the sword was subsequently blocked by Long You.
Feeling helpless, he asked, "You actually just want to see me challenge Chen Sui, right?"
"If a boy is too timid, he won't be liked by girls. Without the heart of a strong person, it will be difficult for him to break through to the later stages."
Lu Ren pondered these words to himself. Although his master liked to tease people, he would never harm him.
What is the heart of a strong person like?
"Be domineering, be arrogant, be invincible!"
"—" What does that have to do with strong people? But Master's meaning is probably that I am a little too cautious in my mindset.
"People are bullying you, and you don't even have a temper. How will you become a strong person? How will you protect the people around you?"
However, at that moment, someone came out from the audience. Presumably, Chen Sui had gone down, and the audience's minds started to stir again.
Because Chen Sui left, he is now the defending champion, which means he needs to win against three opponents in a row.
"Master, is what you said about that New Year's tea true?"
"It's true. Bring a cup back for your master to taste."
"it is good."
Lu Ren glanced at Chen Sui, who had left the field, and then looked at the young man who had come out.
A murmur arose from below, mostly discussing the person who was about to take the stage.
The middle-aged man cupped his hands in greeting, "Lin Xinghe, a body cultivator and warrior of the Flame Realm, humbly requesting your guidance!"
He used resonance to probe the opponent's physique, which was about 2500, four times that of his own, but the opponent's life force attribute was only 250, less than half of his own.
For someone at the Fire Realm to have such high attributes, their initial main attribute is probably around 21. This guy is a genius. Judging from the discussions below, it's not hard to tell that he's quite famous in Yanzhou. Although he's not as famous as Chen Sui or Gu Aotian, his strength is still top-notch.
"Lu Ren, a practitioner of the Fire of Life cultivation method, please offer your guidance."
Suitable for a duel between those at the Burning Flame Realm, this arena is exceptionally large; it's a massive arena floating on the lake, measuring 300 meters in length and width.
There are restraining relationships among professionals: magic cultivators restrain body cultivators, divine cultivators restrain magic cultivators, and body cultivators restrain divine cultivators.
Magic cultivators generally have powerful skills. As long as they learn a defensive skill, they can just keep spamming skills. Of course, this kind of counter relationship doesn't consider being caught in close combat. If a physical cultivator gets close, a magic cultivator will have a hard time reacting.
A 300-meter-long and 300-meter-wide arena can ensure this fairness. With both sides positioned on opposite sides of the arena, no matter how fast the opponent is, they cannot break through this 300-meter distance immediately.
Off the field, Shen Yaoxing was somewhat puzzled. Based on his understanding of Lu Ren, the other party was not the type to act impulsively, so why did he suddenly go up to fight Chen Sui just now?
To be honest, Lu Ren is very strong, but his most valuable qualities are his rapid advancement, recovery ability, and strong endurance. However, when it comes to fighting against opponents of the same level, he inevitably pales in comparison.
"That's Lin Xinghe. I didn't expect him to come today."
"It's said he's already 24, his second ascent is nearing its end, and he's expected to break through to the Star Cocoon Realm this year!"
"Who is that servant of the eldest daughter of the Shen family? I've never seen him before."
Only two little girls were cheering him on from the sidelines, saying, "Go, big brother!"
"Go, Brother Lu Ren!"
"Look, Lin Xinghe moved! Did that kid not react at all?"
"Lin Xinghe is so fast!"
"Why did Lin Xinghe stop? He looks like he's drowning!"
"Lin Xinghe was thrown down!"
The audience was completely silent; no one understood what had happened.
Just then, Lin Xinghe suddenly rushed over, grabbed his own neck, and looked like he was suffocating. Then, the boy who had been standing still the whole time casually threw him off the stage and onto the water!
"It's Loulan Boling's water prison, but didn't he claim to be a magic cultivator?"
On the field, Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Although he seemed to have solved the problem easily, he had actually used two mental skills instantly.
Relying solely on the "Mirage Water Prison" would only make people feel trapped in a water prison, but warriors are not without the ability to fight underwater.
He didn't lose his fighting ability immediately because he also used "Announcing Death" at the same time, which caused an instant mental shock and alchemical artifacts.
Of course, the most important thing is that this guy is too slow, much slower than Chen Sui just now, which is why he was able to catch the gap with his mental power.
Some people in the audience questioned him, saying that he was clearly a divine cultivator, so why did he lie and say that he was a Dharma cultivator?
Lu Ren casually unleashed a devastating "methane explosion," and the roar silenced many people.
"I've learned a bit of everything, so you could call me a divine cultivator or a physical cultivator."
He thought about what his master had just said about being domineering, arrogant, and having the air of a strongman, so he looked at Chen Sui outside the arena.
"Chen Sui, get up here."
P.S.: I've been criticized again these past two days. I wanted to explain, but my explanations seemed weak. Those who criticized me are probably readers who have followed me this far. I'm sure everyone wants me to write well, but I haven't. I'm sorry.
