C286 Lu Chen's Appearance
The two of them were Zhang Qiang's followers. In such a large scale First Peak, it was normal for disciples to try to pull some people in, or someone like them with no background would find it difficult to obtain more cultivation resources and increase their strength without a backer.
"Hmph, so what if he has the [Innate] Third Layer Of Martial Master? My current goal is to become the new direct disciple of the First Peak, not to mention him alone, even if both of them were to come together, I would not feel the slightest bit of pressure. "
Hearing this, Zhang Zhi sneered. His aura was very obscure, but it gave off an abnormally dangerous feeling, like a dormant beast. Once it awakened, it would choose to devour someone.
After defeating Liu Bao, Lu Chen looked at the other direct disciples with great interest. At this moment, the first round of battles was getting more and more intense. Anyone who could become a direct disciple was no ordinary character.
"Bam!"
In Stage Number 1, a handsome young man defeated a direct disciple with a wave of his hand. His soul power fluctuated mysteriously, but that exposed proud and aloof aura caused Lu Chen's eyes to narrow.
"An expert of the Innate Martial Master Level." Although the other party concealed his presence very well, he could still not hide it from Lu Chen's perception. The young man seemed to have noticed Lu Chen's gaze and turned around to give him a faint smile. The smile was neither friendly nor hostile.
Other than Stage One, Stage Three, Stage Six, and Stage Seven all had auras similar to Innate Martial Master Level. It had to be said that there were indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons among the direct disciples.
Lu Chen noticed that the one who gave him the most sense of danger was the red-haired man who appeared on Ring Eight. If he remembered correctly, this man was one of the two who were following Zhang Qiang before the assessment.
Time slowly passed, and the first round of battles finally came to an end. Out of a hundred direct disciples, only fifty were left, directly beginning the second round.
In contrast to the simple first round of the knockout stage, the second round of the competition was even more intense. In order to enter the top 15, one had to win two battles, Lu Chen's luck was quite good, he won another match after Liu Bao, his opponent's strength was average, still a level lower than Liu Bao.
Because of this, many people felt that Lu Chen's luck was pretty good and that the second round was about to end. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Chen could successfully advance to the third round.
"Second round, second round, Lu Chen versus Suen Zhi." As the host elder's voice fell, the atmosphere of the training field suddenly changed.
"Lu Chen versus Suen Zhi?" In the audience stands, Wang Hao and the others looked at each other. If they remembered correctly, Zhou Wang had reminded Lu Chen to pay attention to Zhang Tao and Suen Zhi, right? He didn't expect to meet her in the second round.
"Sure enough, I can't dodge it. However, with Junior Brother Lu's strength, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Zhou Wang could not help but laugh bitterly as he watched Lu Chen's figure.
"Senior Brother Zhou, is that Suen Zhi really that amazing?" Wang Hao and the rest couldn't help but ask curiously when they saw Sun Tie's expression.
"Impressive? "He's more than just amazing."
"Among the one hundred direct disciples, his and Zhang Tao's strength can be ranked in the top fifteen or even the top five."
"If I'm not mistaken, last year, they were already at half-step into the Xiantian realm. So much time has passed since then, and their strength and cultivation level are now incomparable to that of the past, or even …"
But Wang Hao, Wu Lia, and Han Qian all understood what he meant. Last year, he was already at the half-step into the Innate Realm, and in the past year, according to the direct disciples' outstanding talent, he had even broken through the Innate Realm, and had even made a big step towards the Innate Martial Master Stage.
If that was really the case, he could definitely be a match for Lu Chen.
Hearing this, Wang Hao and the rest's faces showed worry. They still remembered that Lu Chen was extremely important to him in comprehending the Unparalleled Spell. If he was obstructed in the direct disciple test, he would definitely be affected a lot.
"You don't have to worry too much. Junior Brother Lu is a freak, he might be more capable than you and me."
"Moreover, half a year ago, even Lei Cheng wasn't his opponent. Even if Suen Zhi and the others had broken through to the Xiantian realm, they still might not be able to defeat Junior Brother Lu."
"Senior Brother Zhou's words are reasonable." Wang Hao nodded his head and replied, "Although our boss has not made much of a breakthrough, his battle prowess is exceptionally strong. He definitely has a spot in the top five."
"Suen Zhi, it seems like your luck is better than mine. I'll leave that guy to you. Don't forget what our older cousin told us." Zhang Tao sneered as he patted Suen Zhi's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Hearing that, Suen Zhi smiled.
"Lu Chen versus Suen Zhi, let the match begin."
On the field, Gao Chongshan and Xiang Wentian were also looking at the arena where Lu Chen was standing. Because they were close to the top 15, compared to the previous fights, the matches in front of them would be more spectacular, so they didn't continue to hold the ten arenas simultaneously. Instead, they started to arrange the matches one by one, so that more disciples could see the gap between Lu Chen and these outstanding direct disciples.
Lu Chen walked onto the stage after hearing the elder's voice.
"Boss, all the best!"
The shouts of Wang Hao and the others came from behind him.
Although Lu Chen was just a newcomer, but the commotion he caused in the past six months was not small. Each of the commotion he caused was enough to stun a lot of the older disciples. His time in the sect was still short, but in terms of fame, he was only inferior to the high and mighty senior direct disciple.
"If I remember correctly, this Suen Zhi is your Follower, Senior Brother Zhang."
"I just don't know how many moves I'll be able to take from Lu Chen later." Zhao Menger smiled as she glanced at Zhang Qiang with her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Zhao, don't overestimate that Junior Brother Lu of yours. Maybe one Suen Zhi is enough to make him suffer."
"You should know that among the direct disciples, Lu Chen isn't the only one with outstanding talent. In terms of talent, there are many people who are equally outstanding."
Hearing that, Zhang Qiang smirked, and said in a mocking tone.
"Let's wait and see."
Zhao Menger smiled faintly, too lazy to argue with Zhang Qiang.
Yun Canghai maintained his silence, but his deep eyes had been paying attention to Lu Chen from the beginning. Although he did not continue to make things difficult for Lu Chen, he had sent people to closely watch this Junior Brother Lu's movements for half a year, and after joining the sect, he had repeatedly revealed his outstanding talent and achievements.
