The previous match was about weapon skills. While using weapons, martial artists should keep a distance from each other, trying to make the best use of their weapons and martial arts moves to defeat the opponent. And if they used longer weapons, their odds of winning would be higher. However, when they fought with fists and feet, things would be different. This kind of competition focused on close-combat techniques. The two competitors would inflict pain on each other with their fists.
Xiang Shaolong, who was from the Qiankun Sect, used the most basic fist technique: Five-step Fist. It was a combination of the basic fist techniques in martial arts. It was also a basic and mandatory course for martial arts beginners. It included the most basic five types of footwork and three types of hand gestures. The user of this technique would continuously attack his opponent by locking the throat, punching, pressing, striking, and slapping while he moved forward or retreated
Xiang Shaolong's crushing defeat indicated that Qiankun Martial Arts School had lost in this round. Next was the third and also the last round. Zhang Huilong asked Han Chuyun to decide on the item of the competition. Han Chuyun did not refuse. Now that there was a draw between the two parties, the last round was very important. No one wanted to treat it carelessly."Brother Zhang, in the last round, we each let our first disciples have a hidden weapon competition. I know that you have unique skills in hidden weapons. Today, we have already had competitions of regular weapons and fist. In the last round, let's have a match of hidden weapons. Is that okay?" Han Chuyun took a sip of tea and said slowly.Zhang Huilong didn't expect Han Chuyun to make such a suggestion. He was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Brother Han, did you just say that we should have a match of hidden weapons?""That's right." Han Chuyun said with certainty, "
Zhang Huilong arranged for someone to place an ordinary raw egg on a wooden stake, which was just ten meters away from the two contestants. Then, Zhang Huilong announced that the competition started.As Quick Blade Sect's First Disciple, Luo Qing started first. He rotated the dagger with his five fingers fast, fixing his eyes on the raw egg in front of him. He looked at it for about thirty seconds and took a deep breath. Under everyone's stare, he suddenly waved his right hand. However, nobody saw him throw the flying dagger at all. They heard a sound and the flying dagger was firmly shot into the cement wall not far behind the wooden stake.Then, Luo Qing did not even check whether the egg was broken or if the flying dagger had hit its target. His gaze only lingered on Pu Yu's face for two or three seconds. With a smile on his face, he took two steps back.Pu Yu was a little nervous at this time. Although he had learned this unique set
While Lu Yao guessed what Zhang Huilong and his disciple were up to, he fixed his eyes on Luo Qing. He noticed that Luo Qing was not nervous at all when Pu Yu had shot out ten hidden weapons at him. Instead, he looked at Pu Yu with a slight sneer.Pu Yu made his move first, and then Luo Qing also made his move. He also shot out ten hidden weapons. At first glance, each one was used to neutralize Pu Yu's attack, but Lu Yao always felt that things would not be so simple. He carefully watched the trajectories of the ten hidden weapons.Suddenly, a change occurred. Originally, Luo Qing's ten hidden weapons were all aimed at those shot out by Pu Yu. However, when all the hidden weapons collided in the air, the thing that Lu Yao had been worried about finally happened.After the collision, Pu Yu's hidden weapons all changed their courses. They either fell or shot towards the surrounding crowd. However, Luo Qing's hidden weapons only changed th
Zhang Huilong thought that Lu Yao was just an insignificant young man. Since Han Chuyun had already suffered a huge defeat, he should not be in the mood to stand up for a nobody. However, he did not expect that Han Chuyun would actually say such words. What was even more infuriating was that Lu Yao, who was insignificant, actually dared to speak to him like that. Zhang Huilong was furious."I really don't know who raised such an ill-bred brat like you. Based on my seniority in the Northwest martial arts circle, even your master will probably have to call me "senior" when he sees me. How dare you, a young brat, be so presumptuous. Today, let me teach you a good lesson on behalf of your master so that you know how to show respect to your seniors and the ones who are way more powerful than you!" Zhang Huilong had spent most of his life in the martial arts circle. Although he was very angry with Lu Yao's words and Han Chuyun's way of doing things, he was still preten
"Senior Han, please forgive me for starting a fight here in your Qiankun Martial Arts School. I hope that you can be magnanimous and forgive me for being reckless." Lu Yao said sincerely.When Lu Yao arrived in front of Han Chuyun, the latter was still immersed in extreme shock. He never expected that Zhang Huilong, who had run amuck in the Northwest martial arts circle, would actually suffer from such a defeat. Lu Yao had only used the move he had just named the Soaring Eagle to ingeniously dodge all of Zhang Huilong's hidden weapons and hit him in one blow, leaving Zhang Huilong no chance to attack again.Han Chuyun looked up at Lu Yao with his slightly red eyes. The moment his eyes met Lu Yao's, he felt that this young man was too terrifying. At such a young age, his martial arts skills were unfathomable. At this time, Lu Yao's eyes were pure and bright, without a trace of playfulness or arrogance. What did this mean? This meant that Lu Yao though
When Han Chuyun said this, everyone present understood his well-considered intentions, especially those disciples of the Qiankun Martial Arts School. They understood that if Lu Yao participated in this competition, then with the strength he had just displayed, Qiankun Martial Arts School had no hope of winning. Considering this point, Han Chuyun decided to make a deal with Jin Yulong when he proposed to see the Qiankun Jaded Illustration.At first, it seemed that there were no benefits for Qiankun Martial Arts School. But in the long run, to be able to have a good relationship with the winner of the competition, who was also the next owner of the Qiankun Jaded Illustration, was a better result than any other benefit. Now they knew that Han Chuyun was really wise and visionary."Senior Han, if I win by luck, I will definitely agree to the conditions you just proposed. After all, you are the guardian of the Qiankun Jaded Illustration, but I can't guara
Lu Yao was really puzzled by what Li Jiang had said today. He couldn't comprehend what Li Jiang had said and it was inevitable that he would ask a few more questions."Master, metal and fire are incompatible. How can they be fused together?" Lu Yao asked humbly."Cultivating immortality itself was a heaven-defying act. The law of nature is supreme and dignified. People cultivated to live longer and it is heaven-defying. Cultivating immortality is something that goes against the way of heaven, but in the end, there are still people who break this convention through a lifetime of hard cultivation. To pass the Judgment Phase is a fight against the way of heaven as well as the human heart. But since there were people who succeed, then why can't we break some other rules?" Li Jiang asked in a serious tone."Well..." Lu Yao didn't know how to answer Li Jiang's question, and he was at a loss for words.Li Jiang did not intend to he
When the scholar looked at Lu Yao, he was initially surprised, but soon he had a sense of appreciation. Later on, the two of them began to feel a little intimate.Lu Yao couldn't explain this feeling clearly, but he felt a sense of familiarity. This feeling was something that he only had with Lu Yiqian. Lu Yao felt as if the scholar was a relative of him.The two stared at each other. Lu Yao could clearly feel the man's emotional fluctuations. After an unknown period of time, the man suddenly began to smile at Lu Yao. His smile was very sweet and beautiful. It lasted for about fifteen minutes. The man suddenly spoke to Lu Yao, "Are you a descendant of the Lei Family?"Lu Yao was so shocked by this sudden change that he didn't know what to say. He soon sorted out his thoughts. He felt that since the man asked him this question, perhaps the man was unsure of his identity. However, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so Lu Yao replie
On the way back to Blue Sky Apartment, Lu Yao's phone rang. The call was from Lin Jiayi, and Lu Yao quickly pressed the answer button."Lu Yao, have you heard that Chu Minghui is dead?" There was a trace of worry in Lin Jiayi's voice."Yes. I just heard from our class teacher that he seemed to have died in a gang fight." Lu Yao knew what had happened, but he could not tell Lin Jiayi the truth. He could not say that Chu Minghui's death had something to do with him."Our teacher said the same thing." Lin Jiayi said indifferently, "Lu Yao, let me ask you a question. You must answer me honestly, okay?""Well, go ahead!" Lu Yao already vaguely knew what Lin Jiayi wanted to know, but he had to pretend that he did not know.Lin Jiayi hesitated for a while and asked, "Does Chu Minghui's death have anything to do with you?"As Lu Yao expected, this was what Lin Jiayi wanted to know. Others might not know abo
The series of questions grew in Lu Yao's mind like spring weeds. He didn't know the answers to these questions now, so he was even more eager to figure them out.Lu Yao gently patted his head with his hands and found that it was very painful. "So, all this really happened. I'm not dreaming. I'm still alive." He soon realized another thing. His arms, which had been broken by the mysterious youth, had recovered as before, and his wounds had also completely disappeared."What happened? The owner of the voice not only killed the mysterious youth but also healed my wounds. Was he there to help me?""You're awake?" Just as Lu Yao was trying hard to recall the last moment before he fainted, the voice of Li Jiang, who had suddenly disappeared, rang out again in Lu Yao's mind."Master?" Lu Yao called out in surprise, "Master, do you know what happened?"Li Jiang said, "I don't know either. When you were fighting with tha
The youth looked at Lu Yao with a playful look, and there was an obvious trace of ridicule at the corners of his mouth. Lu Yao did not see from where he had taken out a pair of golden gloves. He slowly put them on his hands and then continued to stare at Lu Yao.Lu Yao used all of his mental energy to restore his strength, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He knew that this would be an extremely difficult battle. This mysterious youth might be the strongest opponent he had encountered so far.The youth stood there looking at Lu Yao and said impatiently, "How long will it take for you to restore? I'm so bored waiting!"Lu Yao didn't know how to describe this youth, who looked arrogant and bored. He didn't answer the youth but continued to restore his strength. After completely restoring his strength, he took out three black pills from the bronze ring's space and swallowed them in one gulp."Damn, you even take drugs b
The seven men in black held black machetes made of unknown materials in their hands. They stood in seven positions where they could easily cover for each other and control the overall situation. They looked at Lu Yao with a threatening murderous look."I'm surprised that Chu Minghui could actually get help from you guys." Although Lu Yao did not know these seven people, he could tell that they were definitely not ordinary people. With Chu Minghui's ability, how could he have access to such powerful people? Lu Yao was very surprised.Although money could make the mare go, these seven people were obviously not nobodies that could be hired with only tens of thousands of yuan.The man in black standing opposite Lu Yao said coldly, "We do what we are paid to do. Cut the crap. It is lucky for you to be killed by we Seven Phantom Killers. You should be satisfied!""Alright then, let me see how capable you seven sneaky villains who
Facing hundreds of ferocious gangsters with choppers in their hands, Lu Yao didn't look nervous at all, which made the cautious Chu Minghui feel a little uneasy. However, when he thought of that person, he eased up a bit. "Lu Yao, I will avenge myself tonight. After tonight, you will no longer exist, but I will continue to live."Lu Yao said impatiently, "You guys tried so hard to lead me here. I am here now. Come on!""Kill him!" Wei Wenqiang shouted and rushed towards Lu Yao.Wei Wenqiang's action got his subordinates pumped up. They rushed towards Lu Yao with choppers in their hands. Wei Wenqiang knew how powerful Lu Yao was, so he just pretended to rush over to Lu Yao. Seeing his subordinates rushing towards Lu Yao fiercely, he slowed down and slowly moved from the front to the back of the people.Lu Yao saw Wei Wenqiang's every action clearly. However, he really couldn't spare any time to deal with Wei Wenqiang now. Alt
In the end, Lu Yao voiced out his thought. In fact, this thought was not something he had just come up with. He had always had this plan in his heart, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. Now that he had reached the critical moment, this plan started to work.Miao Jingtian and Miao Village's clansmen had lived by picking and planting herbs for generations. This was what they were best at. Lu Yao had originally only wanted Miao Jingtian to help him find some precious herbs that he needed to refine pills. But now, it seemed that heavenly treasures were things that someone could not ask for. It entirely depended on luck. Even Miao Jingtian might not be able to find them in a short time.However, if he invited Miao Jingtian to Xijing now and transplanted the raw materials he found in Panlong Mountain to Shuangta City through special means to plant them on a large scale, there might be a promising future. Moreover, those herbs grew vastly in Pan
Fang Jinghua and Lu Yao walked towards the reception hall together. Just as they reached the door, they heard Niu Yunshan arrogantly say, "What are you looking at? Are you not convinced? I dare to bet that your President Fang is just putting on a show today. In the end, he will definitely agree to my request. I have already seen through your little schemes.""What do you bet?" a familiar voice said.Lu Yao knew without guessing that Niu Yunshan must have been arrogant after he and Fang Jinghua left. Han Dong was so angry that he said something to Niu Yunshan. The person who spoke just now was Han Dong."What do I bet?" Niu Yunshan smiled coldly and said, "If Fang Jinghua agrees to my request today, you bitches will bark three times in front of me. What do you think? Hahaha!""Hahaha!"There was a burst of laughter in the room. Fang Jinghua was about to push the door open and enter, but he was pulled back by Lu Y
When the four arrived at Fang Jinghua's office, Lu Yao finally knew Fang Jinghua had lived a hard life over these past few days. He was the richest man in Shuangta City, but his office was only about thirty square meters. There were no suites, and there was a set of wrinkled bedding on a leather sofa that was sort of decent. Fang Jinghua's daily toiletries were placed on the windowsill.It was obvious that Fang Jinghua was in charge of the company's affairs in Xijing City. He was usually very busy. Sometimes, when he was extremely busy, he would just take a short sleep in the office. When he woke up, he would continue working.Lu Yao saw this and felt sad in his heart. In his opinion, people like Fang Jinghua would come and go with a group of followers and would be particular about the brands of their daily necessities. Everything in front of him did not look like the office of the dignified president of Fang's Pharmaceutical Group, but like the offi
The new office building of Fang's Pharmaceutical Group was currently under construction. Fang Jinghua thus rented an office building in the northern industrial park area of Xijing City. Currently, there were only forty to fifty employees in the office. Some of them were selected by Fang Jinghua from Shuangta City, while the others were graduates hired in Xijing City.Fang's Pharmaceutical Group had earned a great reputation recently, so the middle-aged driver drove to Fang's Pharmaceutical Group's office building quickly even without the help of the navigation system. Because of Lu Yao's invitation, the middle-aged driver followed the two into the office building.There were several companies in the office building. The reception area on the first floor was also divided into several parts. Lu Yao saw Fang's Pharmaceutical Group's reception desk at a glance. However, compared with the reception desks of other companies, it seemed a little cold. Severa
