The oppressive force within this Hidden Dragon Realm is so great that no one can move freely as they would in the outside world.
Therefore, the three of them pretended to pass by Lu Chen and only attacked when they got within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of him. Otherwise, they would not have been able to release their Yuan energy.
The oppressive power of the Hidden Dragon Realm not only affects the physical body, but also greatly impacts the internal energy.
However, the moment the three of them were about to make their move, Lu Chen sensed a murderous aura rushing towards him.
This trial in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm of Xuanwu Academy does not prohibit fighting each other; in fact, it is also a test.
Of course, since these people have the audacity to eliminate their competitors first, they are also prepared to be eliminated by others.
Lu Chen didn't take it seriously.
All three of them were at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Martial Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Venerable Realm.
These three attacks represented the strongest power they could unleash, yet they were utterly inadequate against Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't even bother to move, letting the three attacks land on him, only stirring up a gust of sand. After the dust settled, Lu Chen remained sitting there, motionless, without even opening his eyes.
The three of them stared blankly at the scene, completely dumbfounded.
Did we manage to attack him?
One of them couldn't help but ask a question.
The companion next to him rubbed his eyes, thinking he might have seen wrong, and said, "It should have attacked, right?"
"Why isn't he responding? Is he dead?"
The three of them looked on in astonishment.
Just then, Lu Chen opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the three of them, and said, "Surprised?"
All three of them paled. But at that moment, Lu Chen suddenly reached out and a knife appeared in his hand. He took the knife and made a light slash, which instantly emitted a dazzling light.
The three men stood there motionless for a while, and then their three heads fell to the ground. Their bodies remained upright, but they had gradually lost their breath.
"Rubbish."
Lu Chen shook his head and waved his hand. He encountered an incredibly terrifying force that instantly engulfed the three corpses, turning them into ashes in an instant.
After everything faded away, it was as if these three people had never existed.
"unlucky."
Lu Chen stood up and strode forward.
After Lu Chen had walked away, those who were slightly weaker rushed to the scene of the battle, their faces full of suspicion.
"What just happened? It looks like there was a fight."
"I don't know! I just saw from a distance that it looked like a few people were fighting here."
Who could it be?
These people looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened. In this Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, not only would their bodies be affected, but their Yuan Power would also be restricted to varying degrees, making it impossible to investigate at will.
Lu Chen quickly caught up with Leng Yue. In this desolate place, he walked with light steps and looked very leisurely.
Leng Yue was startled when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around abruptly and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"It was him?"
When Leng Yue saw that familiar face, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought that someone else had caught up with her again.
Seeing that it was Lu Chen now, I felt a sense of naturalness.
Lu Chen stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Shall we go together?"
Leng Yue nodded, surprisingly offering no objection.
She never imagined that one day she would treat a man with such kindness, asking, "Have you finished your cultivation?"
Lu Chen stretched and looked relaxed, saying, "That's about enough. I was interrupted by a few annoying guys, and I'm too lazy to cultivate anymore!"
Lu Chen smiled casually, but Leng Yue's expression changed, and she understood what he meant.
Those annoying guys have naturally vanished without a trace.
Leng Yue herself felt the aftershocks of the battle behind her, but she never bothered with other people's business.
The two chatted as they walked. Lu Chen had originally wanted to try and get some rewards from Leng Yue, but he felt that he was stronger than her and figured there wouldn't be any good rewards, so he simply gave up.
The further they walked, the less they could talk about, since Leng Yue wasn't exactly a sociable person to begin with.
Of course, an even more important reason is that Leng Yue feels she can't keep up with Lu Chen's pace.
Lu Chen looked relaxed and casual, as if he were strolling in his own garden, but for others, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Leng Yue is currently struggling to hold on. There is still a very long way to go before reaching the next stone tablet, but the closer she gets, the stronger the oppressive force becomes.
At first, Leng Yue was able to move her feet slowly, but later, she found it difficult to even stand.
However, Leng Yue, who was strong-willed all her life, was unwilling to show her vulnerable side in front of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen seemed to notice something was wrong. He turned around, looked at Leng Yue, whose face was flushed red, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Leng Yue opened her mouth, but was too embarrassed to speak.
Lu Chen slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing something, and said, "Sorry, I walked too fast. Otherwise, I have a Dragon Essence Pill here, which should be helpful to you."
Lu Chen casually took out a Dragon Essence Pill. He had obtained these pills in Black Dragon City. In the underground dragon's lair, he had killed so many demonic beasts, and these beasts all carried many treasures, which Lu Chen naturally kept.
A large portion of it was left to the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect, while Lu Chen carried the more valuable items with him.
A single Dragon Essence Pill is nothing to Lu Chen.
However, Leng Yue stared wide-eyed at the pill in Lu Chen's hand, her breathing becoming rapid.
But in the end, Leng Yue slowly shook her head and said, "We are strangers who met by chance. I will not accept such a valuable thing! I can cultivate on my own."
After saying that, Leng Yue found a place to sit down and decided not to go any further.
Lu Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected that this aloof beauty would be so strong-willed, refusing even a gift.
Lu Chen certainly didn't mean anything by it; he just had a slight liking for this seemingly aloof woman.
Moreover, according to Lu Chen's judgment, such a talented trial participant should be able to pass the Xuanwu Academy's assessment smoothly and become a disciple of the Xuanwu Academy.
Then they can be considered fellow disciples from now on.
Giving away a Dragon Essence Pill is really nothing.
"Not bad, you have backbone! In that case, I'll take my leave."
Lu Chen was certainly not foolish enough to fawn over someone who didn't appreciate it; that would be humiliating.
"However, I'm warning you, even if you sit here for ten days or half a month in seclusion and cultivate diligently, it won't be of any use; it will just be a waste of time."
