After calming down a little, Lu Chen calmed down and continued to practice. Although there was only a short night, Lu Chen didn't want to waste even a moment of time.
He took out a perfect quality marrow cleansing potion, swallowed it, and his internal energy began to flow fieryly through his martial arts meridians.
The mind of the universe is moving silently.
Lu Chen's progress is rapid, and he will grow stronger every day.
Chen Lu's strength tomorrow morning will definitely be stronger than Chen Lu's now.
Late at night, people are quiet!
However, in the Patriarch's Courtyard, the lights were still brightly lit.
The patriarch, Lu Jinyun, and many elders of the Lu family were still talking in the patriarch's courtyard.
Lu Chen's performance today touched them so much that even Lu Dongqiang was defeated by him.
This proves that Lu Chen not only has amazing talent in refining medicine, but is also extremely talented in martial arts training.
Why didn't Lu Chen's talent be discovered in the past?
It was early in the morning before the elders left the clan chief's courtyard.
After the great elder Lu Yongfang left the patriarch's courtyard, he did not return to his own residence, but to the residence of his grandson Lu Ying.
"Lu Ying!"
Lu Yongfang, standing outside the yard, shouted.
"Grandpa, come in!" Lu Ying's voice came from the room.
Lu Yongfang, hearing Lu Ying's voice, walked in.
In the room, candles were lit, and the grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other.
"Lu Ying, you also saw Lu Chen's battle today. What do you think?" Lu Yongfang looked at Lu Ying and asked slowly.
"Lu Chen, he has grown up much faster than I thought. Three months ago at the family's coming-of-age ceremony, Lu Ying was only in the body tempering realm, but now she is in the middle stage of marrow cleansing." Lu Ying frowned.
frown.
Lu Chen's progress speed is indeed amazing.
"If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have given him a chance in the first place." Lu Ying also regretted it.
At the coming-of-age ceremony that day, although the clan leader and others were present, if he were to catch Lu Chen by surprise, he could still be incapacitated. As long as Lu Chen's life was not hurt, he would probably be punished at most. After all, he was
Students of War Dragon Academy, this is a talisman.
"Yes! This little brat is too amazing. With this speed of cultivation, I'm afraid he will be able to enter the late stage of marrow cleansing within this year." Lu Yongfang was also a little emotional.
"Hey... I won't give him a chance. I will destroy him in tomorrow's finals! Of course, I will keep him alive and let him continue to make potions." Lu Ying sneered, with a sinister light in his eyes,
Like a snake or a scorpion.
"Grandpa, are you worried about me?" Lu Ying's expression changed slightly and she smiled again.
"Don't worry! Don't say that he is in the middle stage of marrow cleansing now. Even if he is in the late stage of marrow cleansing, he still can't be my opponent." Lu Ying said confidently.
"I have been practicing in Zhanlong Academy for nearly two years. How can a country bumpkin like him be comparable? Grandpa, I can tell you, I have already acquired a perfect cultivation level. I have touched the barriers of the innate realm.
.I will continue to practice at Zhanlong Academy for a few years, and it will not be difficult to break through to the innate realm." Lu Ying said proudly.
"Oh?" Lu Yongfang's eyes also flashed with light.
Acquired perfection is also the state of the late stage of marrow cleansing. It just means that in the late stage of marrow cleansing, it has reached a limit and is infinitely approaching the barrier of the innate state.
The day after tomorrow will be perfect, beyond the ordinary late stage of marrow cleansing, there are too many!
"Grandpa, don't worry! Tomorrow's finals will be the end of Lu Chen!" Lu Ying stretched, "If you hurt my brother, I won't let him go!"
…
Early next morning.
Today is another sunny day with no clouds in the sky.
At the Lu family's martial arts arena, before the morning light came, a large number of Lu family disciples had already arrived.
The finals of the Lu family's triennial competition are about to begin.
Moreover, there is another highlight today, which is the focus battle between Lu Chen and Lu Ying.
In every corner of the martial arts arena, what everyone was talking about was no longer who came first in the competition, but who could defeat whom between Lu Chen and Lu Ying.
In the courtyard room where Lu Chen lives.
"call!"
Lu Chen, who had been practicing all night, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
He stood up, took steps, opened the door, and walked out.
"Good weather!" Lu Chen took a deep breath and nodded.
"It's time to go to the martial arts field, to save those bastards from saying that I'm too scared to show up." Lu Chen smiled, showing his white teeth, and there was a hint of evil in that smile.
"Sister Bingyue?"
As soon as he left the yard, Lu Chen saw Lu Bingyue coming.
"Lu Chen!" Lu Bingyue, after seeing Lu Chen, quickened her pace and soon came to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked at Lu Bingyue carefully, and then laughed.
"Sister Bingyue, your anger is much better than the last time I saw you." Lu Chen said.
"Well, the perfect quality marrow cleansing potion has helped me a lot. I feel that my martial arts meridians have been repaired to a certain extent. My strength has also improved a bit." Lu Bingyue said, "Lu Chen, thank you."
"Sister Bingyue, why are you being polite to me?" Lu Chen said with a grin, "Sister Bingyue, you are so busy in Dong'an Town, why are you back again? Do you also want to watch the finals of the family competition?"
Lu Bingyue did not show up during the competition a few days ago. In other words, she should have just arrived at the family today.
"Just talk!" Lu Bingyue pretended to be angry and glared at Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen, are you going to play against Lu Ying in today's final?" Lu Bingyue straightened up and asked Lu Chen seriously.
"Yes!" Lu Chen nodded.
"Lu Chen, listen to me, just give up in this battle. I have heard that you defeated Lu Dongqiang yesterday. In the future, it will be a matter of time for you to surpass Lu Ying, so why bother to compete with him now? Wait for your strength.
It's enough, you can crush him casually!" Lu Bingyue looked at Lu Chen seriously.
Lu Chen also knew that Lu Bingyue said these things for his own good.
Lu Bingyue's worries are justified. Lu Chen crippled Lu Ying's brother Lu Yan's arm, and Lu Ying must hate Lu Chen deeply. Therefore, if Lu Ying has a chance in the martial arts arena, he will definitely hate Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took a heavy shot.
According to Lu Bingyue, as long as Lu Chen admits defeat to Lu Ying on the martial arts stage, Lu Ying will not have the chance to take action, because the family head, elders and others will not stand idly by.
"Sister Bingyue, I really am not sure about defeating Lu Ying. He has been studying at Zhanlong Academy for nearly two years. I don't know how many cards he has. However, if he wants to hurt me, I'm afraid he can't do it."
Chen exuded a sense of confidence.
"..." Lu Bingyue also fell silent.
She had a feeling that the current Lu Chen had undergone tremendous changes from the former Lu Chen. She didn’t know why, but after hearing Lu Chen’s words, she also subconsciously thought that Lu Chen could have his own power in the hands of Lu Ying.
Guaranteed strength.
Seeing Lu Chen's determined expression, Lu Bingyue knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
"You must be careful. If it's dangerous, surrender immediately and don't show off." Lu Bingyue finally warned her like this.
…
The martial arts arena is bustling with people!
"Look, Chase Lu is here!"
Lu Chen and Lu Bingyue appeared at the martial arts arena together. They immediately attracted countless eyes.
Some female practitioners are more courageous and even shout out words that make people blush.
In this world, strong people will be respected everywhere.
Now Lu Chen has enough strength to awe them.
Although Lu Yanran did not have to participate in the finals, she arrived at the martial arts arena early. When she saw Lu Chen and Lu Bingyue, she quickly greeted them.
"Brother Lu Chen, sister Bingyue!" Lu Yanran greeted.
She had written letters to Lu Bingyue many times before due to Lu Chen's relationship, and of course the two of them were very familiar with each other.
The thirty-two Lu family disciples who entered the finals have all arrived at the martial arts arena.
Most of these thirty-two people are at the late stage of marrow cleansing. The rest are also at the middle stage of marrow cleansing.
On the high platform of the martial arts arena, the head of the family, Lu Jinyun, and the elders and supervisors also appeared.
"The Lu Family Competition, the finals, begins now!"
Lu Jinyun, with internal energy fluctuating, stood on the high platform and announced loudly.
Then, he jumped up and landed on the martial arts field from the high platform.
A guard in black uniform, carrying a small golden box, quickly walked out from one side. The guard placed the golden box in front of Lu Jinyun and retreated.
"The thirty-two children of the Lu family participating in the finals, come here to draw ranking numbers!" Lu Jinyun's voice came.
Lu Chen and the other thirty-one people all walked over.
One by one, draw a crystal ball from the golden box. Each person draws a crystal ball.
There were only thirty-two people, and the entire extraction process was very fast, not even taking a cup of tea.
The crystal ball that Chase Lu extracted was number 24.
Inside the golden box, there are a total of thirty-two crystal balls, corresponding to the thirty-two Lu family children who entered the finals, and the numbers are from one to thirty-two.
Thirty-two people, all drawn!
Lu Jinyun squinted and looked at the thirty-two people standing in front of him. These people are the real elite-level disciples of the Lu family. In the next ten or twenty years or even longer, the new innate strongmen of the Lu family will
will be born from these people.
"Now, do you all remember your rankings?" Lu Jinyun asked the thirty-two people with a smile.
"knew!"
"Remember!" Lu Chen and others nodded in response.
"Very good, now give me all your number balls!" Lu Jinyun also nodded.
The first step in this final is to draw the ranking number ball. The function of the number ball is to determine a ranking. The number ball drawn by Lu Chen is No. 24, which means that he is now twenty-four.
Of course, this ranking is only temporary and will change soon.
"Lu Ben, ranked first!"
"Lu Sanleng, ranked second!"
"..."
"Lu Ying, ranked eighteenth!"
"..."
"Lu Chen, ranked twenty-fourth!"
Lu Jinyun reported their current temporary rankings one by one.
Thirty-two people, without exception.
"Now, I announce to you the rules of the finals of the family competition. The finals are free challenges."
"Each of you thirty-two people have three challenge opportunities. You can challenge any of the remaining thirty-one people, or you can abstain. But remember, abstaining also counts as one challenge opportunity. Remember, everyone has only one challenge opportunity.
Three chances!"
"Now, the challenge begins, starting with Lu Ben, who ranks first."
"Lu Ben, do you want to challenge?" Lu Jinyun looked at Lu Ben.
Lu Ben was a cultivator in the middle stage of marrow cleansing. At this time, he felt extremely uneasy. His ranking was number one!
Although this first place will soon be replaced, it is still ranked first.
"Master, I give up the challenge!" Lu Ben immediately bowed and said to Lu Jinyun.
