"You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
Veins bulged on Wang Ai's forehead, and his narrowed eyes suddenly widened.
Lu Jin naturally knew why Wang Ai was so angry, and "comforted" her by saying, "You're so old, why are you arguing with a junior?"
"With so many people there, if someone sees you, you'll lose face."
"Lu Jin, that kid also has the surname Lu, could he be an illegitimate child being raised outside the family?!"
Unable to find a reason to attack Lu Renjia, Wang Ai was looking for an outlet for her anger and began to mock Lu Jin.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, I wish I could! It's a pity they're unwilling, otherwise I would have a successor!"
"Tch, you old man, you're shameless."
Wang Ai underestimated Lu Jin's thick skin. Now that the Old Master was here, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress his murderous intent.
Feng Zhenghao did not show any dissatisfaction, but Lu Jin knew that he was in the same bad mood as Wang Ai.
The old Celestial Master naturally knew what was happening here, but he also didn't expect Lu Renjia to be so bold.
He has more important things to do now and doesn't have time to care about Wang Ai.
As long as they were in Longhu Mountain, he didn't believe these people would dare to disrespect him.
Zhang Zhiwei and his group walked up to the high platform and looked at the noisy crowd.
"Haha, young people are so energetic!"
The moment they appeared, everyone's attention was focused on the high platform.
"Old Celestial Master, and a few others from the Ten Elders!"
They're all here!
These are all very famous figures in the world of supernatural beings, and you can't even see them once in a normal day.
Zhang Zhiwei stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Everyone, thank you for waiting."
"Besides the routine sacrifices, this Luo Tian Grand Ritual has always been an opportunity for us Qi cultivators to exchange ideas."
"I understand everyone's feelings, so since you all want to have a friendly spar, let's begin!"
After saying that, the drawing of lots began.
A young Taoist priest stood beside the box and announced loudly, "Please come forward one by one and draw your number from the box."
Lu Renjia dashed to the front; he didn't want to wait in line.
Thus, he became the first person to draw lots.
He took a slip of paper from the box, which clearly read "Binglu Turtle".
If I remember correctly, Feng Xingtong was also Bing Lügui in the original work.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Renjia will be able to eliminate Feng Xingtong in the third match of the first round.
In a short while, all the participants had drawn their lots.
Zhang Chulan drew the White Tiger (乙), and Feng Baobao drew the Flower Deer (甲) for the first round.
Just like in the original story, Feng Xingtong drew the C-grade Green Turtle.
Lu Renjia glanced at Feng Xingtong with a mocking look, a look that sent a chill down Feng Xingtong's spine.
This must be the cycle of cause and effect.
Feng Xingtong wanted to make things difficult for Lu Renjia at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, but unexpectedly, he became the first person to face Lu Renjia.
"No way! How could my luck be so bad? I drew Lu Renjia in the very first round!"
Feng Xingtong felt like dying. He didn't believe that Lu Renjia was unaware of his thoughts after that shout.
After all, this was someone even his father had seen through.
He learned one thing from Feng Zhenghao: he always wanted to scheme against others, no matter what.
Well, we've run into a tough opponent!
Looking up and seeing Lu Renjia's faint smile, Feng Xingtong decided to call Feng Zhenghao.
"Father, I'm facing Lu Renjia in the first match. Should I just forfeit?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao was surprised to find that his son would be facing Lu Renjia in the very first match.
Based on his understanding of his youngest son, he knew he could never be a match for Lu Renjia.
However, the assassination attempt on Wang failed, and Wang Ai did not seem to take any special action against Lu Renjia.
Since he failed to directly provoke a conflict between Wang Ai and Lu Renjia, Feng Zhenghao was unable to reap the benefits.
I never expected that old man Wang Ai could be so patient.
But if you witness Lu Renjia's restrictions on summoning spirits and commanding generals, I don't believe you'll still be able to sit still.
Feng Zhenghao decided to use Feng Xingtong to amplify Lu Renjia's methods of restricting spirit control.
This was used to threaten Wang Ai, forcing him to deal with Lu Renjia.
"Xing Tong, there's no need to forfeit. Just fight with all your might. I don't believe he'd dare to kill you in front of Master Tian."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xingtong replied with an "Mm" and hung up the phone.
As Feng Zhenghao's son, he naturally knew about his father's methods.
If it benefits the World Society, he is willing to sacrifice many things, including his children.
Just like in the original novel, Feng Zhenghao did not hesitate to have Feng Shayan offer herself to him in order to win over Zhang Chulan.
Did the sand martins really act voluntarily during this process?
Feng Xingtong understood that he was nothing more than a pawn in Feng Zhenghao's hands.
As for the successor of the World Society, sorry, he has an older brother.
The rules of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony stipulate that you can't go all out, so Lu Renjia probably won't... break the rules!
Feng Xingtong glanced at Lu Renjia, who was resting with his eyes closed, and swallowed hard.
At the same time, Feng Zhenghao contacted two other extraordinary individuals in Binglu Turtle.
One is a lay disciple of Shaolin, skilled in the Golden Bell Cover technique.
The other is a rogue cultivator who is skilled with a long sword and enjoys close-quarters combat.
Feng Zhenghao bribed them with money, getting them to fully support Feng Xingtong in the first round.
The two of them originally just wanted to show their faces at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, hoping to catch the eye of some big shot.
And here comes the opportunity!
Although Feng Zhenghao's reputation has been bad lately, money makes everything easier.
The two readily agreed; it would be a fool not to make money.
Instead, they were simply tasked with assisting Feng Xingtong; whether or not they advanced in rank was irrelevant.
In the first match of Group A, Feng Baobao faced Tianjin Wei Xiaotaoyuan, and her opponent immediately conceded defeat.
The competition went by quickly, and soon it was Zhang Chulan's turn to take the stage.
Lu Renjia did not go to Group C; he wanted to witness the birth of Bu Yao Bilian.
"Is it finally here? I haven't seen that much excitement in Under One Person yet!"
"Contestant Yi Baihu, please enter the arena immediately!"
The Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion shouted loudly, and all three of them, except for Zhang Chulan, arrived.
"Why are you still not here so late? Are you too scared to come?"
One person mocked, while another retorted: "How can that be? He's Zhang Chulan, the inheritor of the Qi Source Stream."
The person who made the sarcastic remark was just being stubborn and immediately said, "We have an agreement, don't try anything funny later."
"I know, the three of us will work together to eliminate Zhang Chulan first."
At this moment, Zhang Chulan appeared at the entrance, stirring up a strong wind and raising dust everywhere.
A dark cloud drifted in from the sky, covering the entire stadium.
Everyone thought the sky darkened because of his appearance.
"What's going on with this sky?!"
"As expected of the successor of the Qi Body Source Flow, such a powerful aura."
On the field, as the dust settled, everyone could see Zhang Chulan's attire clearly.
Upon seeing this, one of the extraordinary individuals exclaimed in shock, "This guy is really awesome!"
Looking at Zhang Chulan, who was draped in a black robe, Lu Renjia couldn't help but laugh, thinking about what was about to happen.
Unexpectedly, his laughter was heard by the audience nearby, and he was immediately condemned.
"What's so funny?! Zhang Chulan is the successor of the Qi Body Source Flow!"
"Such a flashy entrance and you don't even praise it, but instead you're laughing here. What right do you have to laugh!"
"Exactly, exactly. That's the kind of person I hate most in my life. They have no ability of their own, yet they look down on others. They're really despicable."
Lu Renjia didn't think he had done anything wrong and didn't argue with them.
After they find out about Zhang Chulan's shameless behavior, will they feel ashamed of what they just said?
Lu Renjia was very much looking forward to seeing what their expressions would be like next.
He ignored the public's condemnation.
The more fiercely they curse, the more embarrassed they'll be later.
Sure enough, with Zhang Chulan's words...
"What I want to destroy is this very sky!"
The extraordinary people around Lu Renjia all criticized him verbally and in writing.
However, Lu Renjia only wrote down the names of the few who were the most vocal in their criticism.
Just like in the original story, Zhang Chulan's three opponents started fighting each other.
Finally, the blue-haired man stood at the very back, came up to Zhang Chulan, and solemnly said...
"Zhang Chulan, I've earned the challenger's qualification. Come on, this is my tribute to the senior who created this divine technique!"
"Let me experience your Qi Source Flow!"
But Zhang Chulan's answer surprised everyone.
"Sit down, calm the turbulent energy in your body, and adjust your Qi back to its optimal state."
He looked up at the blue-haired man and said seriously, "In your current state, I will not lay a hand on you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Renjia laughed again.
The strange people became even angrier, and one of the older women even cursed loudly.
"What are you laughing at? Chu Lan is such a gentleman, what are you laughing at, you country bumpkin!"
However, Lu Renjia laughed even harder after hearing the words "gentlemanly conduct".
The older woman wanted to argue with them, but found herself frozen in place by an invisible force.
At this moment, the blue-haired man sat down on the field to meditate.
But just as that person began to regulate his breathing, Zhang Chulan stood up, pointed at the person, and asked.
"Hey, referee. If I hit him now, it's not a foul, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
He was completely dumbfounded, especially by the blue-haired guy.
The referee's face darkened, and he said coldly, "No foul. But now I want to punch you!"
Upon hearing this, the blue-haired man angrily retorted, "Hey, didn't we agree to wait until I recovered?"
"Damn it, what happened to your dignity as a strong person?!"
Zhang Chulan took off his black robe and cloak and shamelessly said, "Dignity? What's that worth?"
He grabbed the blue-haired man and then proceeded to punch and kick him.
The audience members were speechless, and those who had spoken out for Zhang Chulan were even more ashamed.
"Smack!"
Lu Renjia suddenly snapped his fingers, and everyone around him looked at him.
He glanced at the other people around him and said jokingly, "Your Zhang Chulan is such a gentleman!"
After saying that, Lu Renjia slowly walked towards the entrance, carefully observing the awkward expressions on the faces of these people.
After the referee announced that Zhang Chulan had won, the dissatisfaction of these people completely erupted.
"What a piece of trash! Shameless!"
"Despicable, shameless, vile bastard!"
"You shameless bastard!"
