Invincible Martial King

While Lu Chen and Zhou Wang were talking, the training field suddenly burst into an uproar. At the entrance of the training field, three figures walked over shoulder to shoulder.    

    

"The senior direct disciples have arrived." Someone exclaimed out loud as they stared in that direction with burning gazes. Whether it was the ordinary disciples in the stands or the direct disciples in the central area, almost everyone's gazes were attracted by those three figures.    

    

Yun Canghai, dressed in white, was handsome and elegant. He had his hands behind his back as he walked over. Although he did not reveal any of his aura, his casual and aloof demeanor made quite a few disciples look at him.    

    

Beside him, Zhao Menger's black hair danced gently. Her eyes were bright and her smile was beautiful. She was slender and elegant, attracting the attention of all the male disciples.    

    

Zhang Qiang, who followed closely behind, was expressionless. However, the aura emitted from his body made people feel as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, shocking many direct disciples.    

    

In the eyes of the ordinary disciples, the direct disciples were the existences they envied the most, but the direct disciples were the existences they truly admired, and they represented the peak of the First Peak.    

    

Moreover, not only did they possess the strongest strength, they also possessed an extraordinary status and power. They were even above some of the ordinary elders.    

    

"It has been a long time since First Peak has been so lively. I truly look forward to the direct disciple exam today. Who will stand out and obtain the qualifications to comprehend the Unparalleled Spell?"    

    

Yun Canghai said indifferently as he scanned the crowd with his snow-white clothes.    

    

"It's hard for even me to comprehend the Unparalleled Spell. These guys are all rubbing their hands together, it doesn't seem like it will be much of a climate either." Zhang Qiang snorted.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhang is exaggerating a little, isn't he?"    

    

"If we can't comprehend it, others won't necessarily fail as well." Zhao Menger smiled.    

    

"Hur hur."    

    

"Junior Sister Zhao, you don't need to beat around the bush. Why don't you just say that you are optimistic that the new disciple Lu Chen will have a chance to learn the Unparalleled Spell?"    

    

"In my opinion, let alone becoming one of the top five, he might not even be able to make it to the third round of the competition." Zhang Qiang sneered and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhang is right. It seems that Lu Chen won't be able to make it through the third round. Since that's the case, how about we make a bet?" Zhao Menger asked with a faint smile.    

    

"You …"    

    

"I'm not going to bet with you."    

    

He had suffered a lot at the bet, especially when it was related to Lu Chen. The previous example had already happened, and he did not want to repeat the same mistake again.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhang, you're too lacking in confidence, aren't you? You don't even dare to bet with me anymore?" Zhao Menger felt it was a little funny. She said in a mocking tone. Ever since the incident outside the Hall of Golden Light a few days ago, her impression of Zhang Qiang had completely changed.    

    

Hearing that, Zhang Qiang's face turned pale. He snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring Zhao Menger.    

    

"Alright, Junior Sister Zhao, we're all from the same sect, there's no need to act like this." Noticing the stiff atmosphere between Zhao Menger and Zhang Qiang, Yun Canghai shook his head with a smile.    

    

"Same sect?" Senior Brother Zhang is very powerful, he joined forces with the people from the Third Peak to make things difficult for our First Peak, how could Senior Brother Yun not have heard of what happened a few days ago? At that time, he had never thought about the friendship between fellow disciples. "    

    

"If it wasn't for me giving Senior Brother Zhang face and informing the Peak Lord about this matter, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Zhang would not have been able to stand here with peace of mind."    

    

Zhao Menger's beautiful eyes flickered as she replied with a grunt.    

    

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang's expression turned even more unsightly. However, he did not retort. Seeing this scene, Yun Canghai could only shake his head helplessly.    

    

"Damn Lu Chen!" Zhang Qiang did not dare to act against Zhao Menger, and could only place his resentment onto Lu Chen. He noticed the latter's figure and stared straight at Lu Chen with a cold and sharp gaze.    

    

"Hmm?"    

    

Lu Chen seemed to have noticed something and raised his head to meet Zhang Qiang's gaze.    

    

The corner of Zhang Qiang's mouth curled up into a sneer. He raised his hand and slashed across Lu Chen's neck. His expression and actions clearly showed that he was provoking Lu Chen in a naked manner, as if to say, "You just wait for me."    

    

"How interesting." Lu Chen smiled faintly.    

    

"What's interesting?" Zhou Wang, who was on the side, did not understand and asked curiously.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhou, if I understand correctly, as long as you are in the top five, you should be qualified to challenge a senior direct disciple, right?"    

    

"Of course... "That's right." Zhou Wang's keen sense sensed that something was not right. He followed Lu Chen's gaze and saw Zhang Qiang's figure clearly. He suddenly panicked and said, "Junior Brother Lu, don't be rash!"    

    

"I have to place in the top five." The light in Lu Chen's eyes intensified as a hint of determination emerged.    

    

"Zhang Tao and Suen Zhi, you two better listen up. After the exam begins, keep an eye on that guy Lu Chen and get rid of him as soon as possible."    

    

"I want this guy to become a joke."    

    

Noticing the change in Lu Chen's eyes, Zhang Qiang felt a little uncomfortable. He retracted his gaze and spoke to the two figures behind him.    

    

"Cousin, don't worry. We will definitely help you take care of that new disciple named Lu Chen."    

    

"Zhang Tao is right. Brother, just wait and see. With the two of us here, he won't be able to make it to the third round." One of the taller ones sneered.    

    

"Don't let down your guard. This boy's strength is not simple." Zhang Qiang reminded him in a deep tone.    

    

Lu Chen didn't notice Zhang Qiang's little trick. To him, strength was the best way to deal with anything. The incident at the trade fair a few days ago had already made him a little uncomfortable.    

    

"Junior Brother Lu, it's best not to provoke Senior Brother Zhang anymore. He's very strong and has connections with the senior direct disciples of the other mountains. I heard that he has a good relationship with the Li family from the outer sect."    

    

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Wang couldn't help but remind Lu Chen, afraid that he would do something out of line.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhou, I know how to behave." Lu Chen smiled and nodded. He knew that Zhou Wang was just doing this out of good intentions.    

    

"That's for the best."    

    

"Senior direct disciples, enter the arena. The assessment is about to begin."    

    

As soon as Zhou Wang finished speaking, Peak Lord Gao Chongshan and Elder Xiang Wentian of Deputy Peak Lord appeared on the training grounds. Both of them were super strong experts with Innate Martial Master Level above, and their appearance caused the entire training grounds to become silent.    

    

Gao Chongshan had a head full of white hair. He swept his eyes over the crowd and revealed a look of satisfaction. He took a step forward and waved his hand as he said: "Disciples, the direct disciple test has officially begun."
