The palm strikes, and thunder roars.

An extremely terrifying force came from behind him. This palm strike was powerful and heavy. If it really hit, even a powerful expert at the King Realm would not dare to say that he could catch it steadily.

"idiot."

Lu Chen shook his head inwardly, a little impatient.

The other party's actions were clearly intended to force him to fight, so that they could see just how much he was worth.

Lu Chen didn't even turn around; he simply leaned back and met Meng Xiong's palm strike head-on. The two palms clashed violently.

With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave erupted from between the two.

As a result, Meng Xiong was directly shaken and kept falling backward.

They retreated more than ten steps before finally stopping, their feet sinking into a huge pit.

Lu Chen, however, remained completely still.

This scene stunned everyone.

"What terrifying palm force."

"To actually catch Meng Xiong's palm with his bare hands, even though Meng Xiong may not have used his full strength, this junior brother's strength is just too strong."

"As expected, appearances can be deceiving. This junior brother is indeed an extraordinary genius that Fang Yunzi went to great lengths to bring back."

"No, didn't you all see that this is not the full strength of this junior brother? Look at his steps, he hasn't moved an inch."

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Only Lu Ziqi had a faint smile on her face, looking at Lu Chen with great satisfaction.

As expected of my apprentice, he didn't embarrass me this time.

"This kid is probably hiding his strength. He can already fight against a fourth-level King Realm expert. Given time, he can probably break through to the seventh or eighth level of the King Realm."

Lu Ziqi's discerning eye goes without saying; she could tell at a glance that Lu Chen wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Of course, it was also because Meng Xiong underestimated his opponent.

"Senior Brother Meng, really? I asked you to go easy on me, but you didn't have to be so lenient."

"That's right! Junior Brother's strength is quite good, so don't be careless."

"It seems this junior brother doesn't think much of Senior Brother Meng. As a senior brother, you can't let down the senior brothers of the True Martial Hall."

The others watched from the sidelines, naturally enjoying the spectacle and also curious about this new junior brother, who seemed quite extraordinary.

I wonder how much of his strength Brother Meng can force out.

Everyone has concluded that, given Lu Chen's current strength, once he breaks through to the King Realm, he will likely become another expert.

Even though they are both at the King Realm, the difference in strength is still significant.

Although they are from the same school, there is still competition among them.

After all, there is an assessment every month, and if you come in last, you will be banished to the Tianyuan Hall.

"Shut up."

Meng Xiong was furious; that slap had made him lose face.

A senior brother at the fourth-tier combat level, a King of the Extreme Realm, can't even beat a junior brother at the Venerable Realm? If this gets out, people will probably laugh their heads off.

"It seems I underestimated you, senior brother. Take another palm strike from me."

Meng Xiong charged forward again, unleashing a palm strike with seventy percent of his power at Lu Chen.
