"Mu Shaojie and Wei Ping actually came too."
"This is going to be interesting."
"They are two of Senior Sister Qingyu's die-hard suitors! How could they not come when Senior Sister Qingyu has been wronged this time?"
"Could it be that the two of them will attack together?"
"That's not necessarily true."
"Oh no! No matter how powerful Lu Chen is, he's no match for the two of them."
"That's right! After all, one of them is at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm and the other is at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm. They seem to be only slightly stronger than Senior Sister Qingyu, but in fact, they both have very high talent."
Lu Chen glanced at the two men expressionlessly, remaining calm and undisturbed.
"After bullying the goddess, here comes the simp?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but reveal a disdainful smile.
"What brings you two senior brothers here? You're not here to become my underlings, are you? Sorry, I'm not accepting extras right now!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
Mu Shaojie did not answer, but stared at Lu Chen with a cold expression. He disdained to fight alongside his rival Wei Ping.
That would be too undignified.
After all, Lu Chen was just a junior brother at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
The two of them are on such a different level that even if they win by bullying the weak, it's still dishonorable.
But the two of them didn't come here today to compete in martial arts.
Even if you use your cultivation level to suppress others, it's nothing.
So what if we suppress it?
Wei Ping sneered and said, "So you're Lu Chen? You think you can bully Senior Sister Qingyu?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the other party to ask such a stupid question.
"Then who can bully them?"
"Of course, no one can be bullied."
"What can I do? I just like teasing her, so what?"
"You're asking for it!"
"idiot!"
A great battle is about to break out.
Wei Ping took out his unique weapon, a pair of large bronze hammers.
The Seven Star Hall combines the strengths of various schools and does not require sword practice. Although most people switch to sword cultivation in order to climb to the core of the Heavenly Sword Hall or the Myriad Swords Sect, there are also some who are not so fixated on it.
Wei Ping was one of them.
Wei Ping, who was at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm, possessed immense strength when equipped with these extremely heavy bronze hammers.
Lu Chen curled his lip, looking disdainful, and said, "Someone like you is obviously a minor character. We've given you enough screen time. Go get your lunchbox."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he drew his sword with his backhand. The long sword on his back was unsheathed, and suddenly a starlight pierced straight towards Wei Ping opposite him.
The sword energy was as fine as silk.
The violent energy suddenly exploded outwards from Wei Ping. Wei Ping pushed off with his feet, shattering the rocks. He transformed into a gust of wind and swept towards Lu Chen.
He wielded the two bronze hammers with incredible speed and precision.
Lu Chen's sword energy struck the bronze hammer, but it only caused the hammer to tremble slightly before everything vanished.
To break the law with force.
Then use your superior level of understanding to intimidate others!
Wei Ping successfully countered Lu Chen's move.
It seemed like a casual remark, but Wei Ping was secretly shaken.
"What terrifying sword energy!"
Wei Ping wasn't as relaxed as he appeared; his right arm was numb, and he had almost lost his grip on the copper hammer.
Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself by relying on the powerful force within his body, without revealing too many weaknesses.
Even this small flaw was enough for the opponent to seize the opportunity.
Unfortunately, after casually flicking out a sword aura, Lu Chen didn't make any further moves.
"That's interesting."
Lu Chen's attack was merely a probing one; he still didn't take his opponent seriously.
As Wei Ping approached, Lu Chen felt a gust of wind rush towards him.
Those two bronze hammers were incredibly imposing and terrifyingly powerful. If they were to strike a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, they would either die or be crippled.
But Lu Chen remained motionless, standing there without moving, letting the pair of heavy hammers slam into him.
There was a loud bang, and then... nothing more.
Everyone present was stunned at that moment.
Wei Ping stared wide-eyed at the pair of bronze hammers in his hands, as if he were hallucinating.
"What happened?"
"Lu Chen... actually blocked it."
"My God! How is this possible?"
"He must be too scared to move."
Everyone suspected that Wei Ping had suddenly shown mercy and hadn't struck with the hammer.
After all, the two are from the same school, so it's acceptable for them to spar and compete with each other, but killing is absolutely forbidden.
Among those present, only Mu Shaojie could see clearly that Wei Ping had not held back at all; he had used at least 30% of his strength in that hammer blow.
With only 30% of the power of the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm, Lu Chen, who was only at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, should have been sent flying by a single blow, even if he wasn't seriously injured.
But nothing happened.
"impossible."
Wei Ping was shocked and swung his other copper hammer at Lu Chen again.
However, the strange situation occurred once again.
Lu Chen still didn't dodge, but the pumpkin-sized copper hammer in Wei Ping's hand was directly knocked away. Wei Ping himself couldn't even hold on to it, and he flew away along with the copper hammer.
Everyone was stunned once again.
Lu Chen smiled disdainfully.
After consuming the Dragon Essence Fruit, Lu Chen instantly raised his physical strength to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
