"The discovery of a fossil can change the world, but the discovery of a cabbage cannot."
"It's the same with people; some people have a huge impact, while others have little impact."
"You are special now. You have enormous weight. The decision you are about to make is crucial."
"It will change the fate of countless people."
Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Ye seriously and asked, "I'll assume that what you said is true."
"So, Daoist Wang Ye, did you choose to come here because you didn't choose a better future?"
Wang Ye lowered his head, his eyes half-closed, and said:
"Yes, there is absolutely no benefit for me to come here."
"I can't eat anymore, Zhang Chulan, what about you? Have you made up your mind?"
After speaking, Wang slowly stood up and waited for Zhang Chu to make a decision.
Zhang Chulan lowered his head and pondered for a moment with his eyebrows down.
He suddenly picked up the steamed bun and started eating it frantically.
Seeing this, Wang Ye sighed inwardly and kicked Zhang Chulan away.
Then Wang turned around and slowly walked towards the gate of the martial arts arena.
At this moment, the referee, Fude, immediately shouted:
"Wang Ye, what are you doing?"
Wang Ye didn't even turn his head; he simply walked away leisurely.
"He won!"
Zhang Chulan slowly got up and said:
"Sorry, I also have things I have to do!"
Wang Ye, still with his back to Zhang Chulan, said calmly:
"It's alright, I'm here to help you choose, not to choose for you!"
After saying that, he swayed and walked away.
Brother Fude was immediately enraged and announced to the crowd:
"Wang Ye, Zhang Chulan wins against Zhang Chulan."
"Zhang Chulan, get out of here! I get annoyed just looking at you."
Zhang Chulan chuckled, reverting to his usual shameless expression.
"Next match, contestants Zhang Lingyu and Luke enter the arena."
It's amazing how convenient Luke's timing was; he was the first player to arrive at the second match, and he even ran into Zhang Lingyu.
"Wait a moment, I'll take care of it soon."
Luke squeezed Feng Shayan's hand and said with a smile.
Feng Shayan believed Luke's words wholeheartedly. After all, even Wang Ai had been slapped to death, so what was Zhang Lingyu?
It's simply a matter of how long it takes.
Zhang Lingyu had already entered, dressed in flowing white robes, his white hair still intact, exuding an otherworldly air.
A fat, lewd man in the stands stared at Zhang Lingyu intently, as if he were looking at a lover he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Snapped!"
"Oh, you actually like men."
A couple not far away suddenly started arguing. The reason was that the man was staring at the fat, lewd man for a long time, as if he were looking at a lover in the throes of passion. This was unacceptable to the woman, who immediately flew into a rage.
The couple's argument did not affect Xia He's mood.
That's right, this greasy and lewd fat man is none other than Xia He, the Bone-Scraping Knife from the Four Madmen of Quanxing.
Even in disguise, her deadly allure remains irresistible.
In terms of looks alone, Xia He is absolutely top-notch, with a seductive gaze and alluring manner. In short, she's a total stunner!
Even Feng Shayan is inferior to Xia He.
However, Luke could only admire Xia He from afar. After all, since Xia He had joined Quanxing, whether voluntarily or not, she had done things that only members of Quanxing would do. She might not be handling tens of thousands of women a day, but she must have handled hundreds, because her innate ability had affected quite a few people, and it was hard to say what it was like in other worlds. But Luke was a bit of a perfectionist and would politely decline.
Of course, Luke doesn't mind a friendship that doesn't require responsibility.
In summary, Xia He suffered a tragic fate due to her innate supernatural abilities, and even her own father had designs on her. Although she is a pitiful person, she also has hateful aspects and does not deserve sympathy.
Luke was unaware that Xia He had arrived, and he didn't care. As long as Xia He didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother with such trivial matters!
Luke leaped down from the stands and landed on the ground without using any Qi or any lightness technique to deflect force; he simply fell straight to the ground.
The ground was smashed open with several terrifying cracks, and dust billowed into the air. The surrounding crowd gasped in shock, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Zhang Lingyu's expression also changed slightly, clearly not expecting Luke's physical strength to be so terrifying.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Luke slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and looked calm, as if the shocking attack he had just delivered was nothing more than a small test for him.
His muscles, barely visible beneath his clothes, exuded explosive power, as if every inch of his skin were as hard as steel.
Such physical strength was something even Zhang Lingyu had to be wary of. After all, in the face of absolute power, all techniques seemed so pale and powerless.
"Master Lingyu, I didn't expect it to be our turn to fight so soon. Please don't hold back!"
Zhang Lingyu's expression was serious as he said solemnly, "Lingyu will do her best, and I beg Benefactor Lu not to hold back."
Upon hearing this, Luke subconsciously looked up at the old master.
As expected, the old master's face darkened, and he was at a loss for words.
Foolish apprentice, you even told them not to hold back. If they didn't hold back, you'd be dead in one move.
After glancing at the old master, Luke already had a plan in mind. He estimated that if he were to fight the old master with his current strength, he would probably win.
However, the old Celestial Master still possesses the Celestial Master's Seal, which has been passed down for over a thousand years by the Celestial Master's Mansion. Only the old Celestial Master himself knows the wonders of it, so we must be wary. In this case, the outcome is hard to predict.
Fine, let's give the Celestial Master some face and not let Zhang Lingyu lose too badly. At the very least, we have to wait until he uses all his tricks before we can beat him.
"Master Lingyu, please make your move!"
Zhang Lingyu Ye didn't hold back and directly unleashed the Golden Light Spell, transforming his Qi into a gigantic golden hand that came crashing down on Luke's head.
Chapter 85: One Person's Perspective: This lightning magic is a real waste in your hands.
"Ouch!"
"They're treating me like Sun Wukong. Too bad, you're a Taoist priest, not Buddha."
Luke made a joke, then raised one hand and blocked the golden palm.
Zhang Lingyu's expression changed slightly. He felt as if he had struck an ancient, indestructible mountain, specifically its peak, rather than a person. The stinging sensation spread from the golden light to his palm.
Zhang Lingyu was not discouraged; instead, he launched an even stronger attack. The Golden Light Mantra seemed to come alive in his hands, combining offense and defense with endless variations.
With a thought, the Golden Light Spell transformed into a long golden river, surging towards Luke and attempting to drown him.
However, Luke simply smiled and remained motionless, letting the golden river wash over him without harming him in the slightest.
Seeing that his first plan had failed, Zhang Lingyu's eyes narrowed, and the Golden Light Spell transformed once more, turning into countless small golden swords, densely packed like a rain of arrows, shooting towards Luke.
Each small sword contained Zhang Lingyu's profound cultivation, and was extremely sharp, enough to pierce through metal and stone.
However, Luke's body seemed to be a natural armor; the golden daggers that struck him only sparked a few flashes before falling limply to the ground.
Zhang Lingyu was unwilling to give up. The Golden Light Mantra transformed once more, turning into a giant golden hammer that smashed down on Luke with overwhelming force.
Faced with this attack, Luke finally moved, but he only crossed his hands in front of his chest at the same time, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.
"boom!"
The giant hammer crashed into the defensive barrier with a deafening roar.
The golden hammer was sent flying, but Luke only swayed slightly before regaining his footing.
Although his clothes were torn by the residual force of the giant hammer, his skin was completely unharmed, as if not even a scratch had been left.
However, the reason Luke was still broken was that he did not use Qi, but only used Zhang Lingyu to test the strength of his current physical body.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingyu was horrified.
His Golden Light Spell was so powerful that few among his fellow disciples could withstand it.
However, Luke easily deflected all of his attacks with his powerful physique.
This forced him to re-evaluate his opponent, and a sense of awe rose in his heart.
“Benefactor Lu has a strong physical body, Lingyu admires it.”
Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with even more determination.
He knew that in the battle to come, he would give it his all, without holding back.
Lu Jin, standing in the stands, frowned and said, "I don't know if I'm seeing things, but I feel like this kid has gotten a lot stronger. What do you think, Master?"
The old master replied calmly, "I'll just stand here and watch."
How else could it be seen? How could the old master not see that Luke had become stronger?
In the old master's view, there are only two possibilities.
First, Luke encountered a fortuitous encounter and suddenly became stronger, such as obtaining Taoist golden pills or Buddhist relics. These are all created by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If an outsider obtains them, their cultivation will definitely increase greatly. For thousands of years, Buddhism and Taoism have always been the largest forces in the world of outsiders. In addition to their orderly inheritance, these two things have also made great contributions. Because of these two things, Buddhism and Taoism have never lacked experts.
Secondly, this kid has been hiding his true colors well, and it wasn't until today's match that his true abilities were revealed.
In the old master's opinion, the second possibility was more likely. After all, he was very familiar with the first method. Luke's aura was pure and powerful, not at all like someone who had taken the Golden Elixir Relic.
As the leading Taoist master of his time, the Celestial Master could certainly discern these things.
There was one thing that puzzled the old master: if Luke was hiding his strength, why didn't he show it when fighting Wang Ai and Lü Ci, but instead revealed it when fighting Zhang Lingyu, who was just a nobody? It couldn't be that Zhang Lingyu was stronger than Wang Ai and Lü Ci, could it?
"Daoist Lingyu, let's stop testing each other and get straight to the point. I've been looking forward to the Celestial Master's Mansion's thunder magic for a long time."
Black lightning crackled in Zhang Lingyu's palm as he said in a deep voice, "Then please forgive my impropriety."
