Invincible Martial King

At this moment, he did not try to hide it anymore. Since Lu Chen was openly challenging him, whether it was to protect his own face or to suppress Lu Chen's arrogance, he had to make a move.    

    

Even though Lu Chen had defeated his cousin Zhang Tao, in Zhang Qiang's eyes, it was just a little child's play. He was able to become one of the few senior direct disciples of the First Peak not only because of his outstanding talent, but also because of his profound strength and background. There were many people who came to challenge him in the past few years, but all of them had become his stepping stones.    

    

"I accept your challenge."    

    

"Also, I have to remind you that I won't show you any mercy. If you get injured, don't forget that I don't care about face." Zhang Qiang slowly walked over like a revived giant beast, the oppressive feeling made all the disciples tremble. In front of his imposing manner, even the direct disciples felt their whole body shiver, and they even felt suffocated.    

    

"I will also give that sentence to you, Senior Brother Zhang." Ever since the Stony Forest last time, Zhang Qiang had been extremely unsightly to him, continuously targeting him. Facing such a person, Lu Chen would never show the slightest bit of mercy, even if it was a high and mighty senior direct disciple, he would ruthlessly pull them down.    

    

One of them was the person who had just become the number one direct disciple, while the other was a senior direct disciple who had been famous for a long time. Although the battle had not yet begun, it had already made many disciples' blood and sweat surge, and the direct disciple assessment would be held every year. However, for people like Lu Chen, who openly challenged senior direct disciples, it was very rare to see something like this happen in the past few years.    

    

As for senior direct disciples, not to mention having the courage to challenge them, it was difficult to even have the courage to stand calmly in front of them. Not only did Lu Chen do it, he even dared to challenge senior direct disciples in front of them. This courage and confidence not only made the ordinary disciples admire him, but it also surprised most of the senior direct disciples.    

    

Thinking about how he had defeated Lei Cheng who had Second Peak before, the crowd was not too shocked. Although Lu Chen had only joined the sect half a year ago, his achievements were becoming increasingly famous, and his fame did not lose out to any of the senior direct disciples.    

    

"Junior Sister Zhao, Junior Brother Lu versus Junior Brother Zhang, who do you think will win?" Yun Canghai noticed Zhao Menger's concerned expression and suddenly asked. His voice was filled with magnetism, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind.    

    

"I'm not sure about that, but Lu Chen is not an impulsive person. Maybe Senior Brother Zhang will lose." Hearing this, Zhao Menger's eyebrows raised for a moment before she slowly spoke.    

    

"It seems that Junior Sister Zhao is very confident in Junior Brother Lu." Yun Canghai smiled, and said while looking at Zhao Menger.    

    

"It's not really confidence. It's just intuition."    

    

"Senior Brother Yun, according to your judgement, who do you think will win?" Zhao Menger asked indifferently.    

    

"As far as I know, Junior Zhang has completely comprehended that cultivation technique, so I'm more optimistic about this competition. Although Junior Brother Lu is talented, he is still lacking in terms of time and foundation."    

    

Yun Canghai looked at Lu Chen's figure and said with a faint smile.    

    

"Which cultivation technique?"    

    

Zhao Menger fell into deep thought when she heard this. Suddenly, her delicate body shook as she exclaimed, "He actually succeeded in his comprehension!"    

    

"That's right."    

    

"So, I think Junior Zhang will win for sure." Yun Canghai nodded seriously.    

    

"Lu Chen …" Zhao Menger's face paled as she looked at Lu Chen's figure on the stage. Worry appeared in her eyes.    

    

Lu Chen did not notice the conversation between the two senior direct disciples in the distance. He seriously stared at Zhang Qiang and felt a trace of dangerous aura that he had not felt in a long time. This guy was very strong.    

    

"Since it's a spar, the two of you should still pay attention to your limits. After all, whoever is hurt is a loss to my First Peak." Xiang Wentian's figure appeared on the side of the arena. When it came to battles between senior direct disciples, he had to personally decide. Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle between the two of them would be enough to affect the spectating disciples.    

    

"Let's start now."    

    

Xiang Wentian announced with a smile as he looked at the two of them.    

    

As the sound of his voice faded, the atmosphere in the arena grew even heavier.    

    

"Junior Brother Lu, come on."    

    

Zhang Qiang's face was as resolute as a knife. His back was straight and his body was tall. He stepped forward and soul power poured out like a tidal wave. In an instant, it covered half of the arena.    

    

"What a powerful soul power, it's simply like a vast ocean, it's definitely at the fourth stage of the Innate Martial Master!"    

    

"He is indeed worthy of being a senior direct disciple. I heard that Senior Brother Zhang also has a Superior Inferior Grade Martial Spirit. Furthermore, he had once entered the fifth floor of the Martial Tower. That is a place only people of the Innate Fifth Layer Of Martial Master can enter!"    

    

The disciples watching the fight were in an uproar. The aura that Zhang Qiang was emitting was too strong, not even inferior to that of some of the ordinary elders. This was the strength of a senior direct disciple.    

    

"Four heavens in the Innate Martial Master, not bad indeed, but …" Lu Chen smiled and looked at Zhang Qiang. His tone suddenly became sharp and he said in a deep voice, "This is not enough!"    

    

Lu Chen also took a step forward. His soul power gushed out like a volcano as a scorching and violent fluctuation soared into the sky like a dragon. Although his momentum was not as strong as Wu Tie's, he was still more vigorous and powerful.    

    

"Junior Brother Lu, you really disappoint me. Half a year has passed, and you're still only at the 2nd level of the Martial Master realm. Rumor has it that you've been bitterly cultivating for half a year. Could it be that you've already cultivated it all the way to the bottom?"    

    

Sensing Lu Chen's cultivation level aura, Zhang Qiang sneered and taunted him without hesitation.    

    

"You don't need to worry about what realm I am at, Senior Brother Zhang. As long as you are knocked to the ground, so what if it's just Martial Cultivator Stage?"    

    

Hearing that, Lu Chen smiled faintly.    

    

"Oh? Interesting. "    

    

"I hope you can still make sarcastic remarks later." Zhang Qiang's gaze turned cold as he laughed sinisterly.    

    

"Second Sky of Martial Master. Isn't this realm too low?"    

    

"Lu Chen's cultivation level is still the same as it was half a year ago. Why is he still stuck at the Second Sky of Martial Master?"    

    

… ….    

    

From the start of the exam until now, this was the first time Lu Chen had displayed his cultivation, but it also caused many people to be disappointed. Before, his cultivation had already reached the second sky of the Martial Master realm, but he was still stuck in the same place after half a year.    

    

"These guys don't even know how terrifying boss is. So what if he's a 2nd heaven Martial Master? I can still beat that guy, Zhang Qiang, to a pulp. "    

    

Wang Hao chuckled and snorted disdainfully.    

    

Although Wu Lia and Han Qian did not say anything, they both nodded in agreement. They could not judge Lu Chen's situation by the eyes of an ordinary martial artist.
