Invincible Martial King

"This golden order badge represents your identity as a direct disciple. You must keep it safe." Xiang Wentian revealed a satisfied expression and handed a golden token to Lu Chen. This meant that the promise not only stopped at words, but it also confirmed Lu Chen's identity as his direct disciple.    

Witnessing the scene of how Lu Chen was pouring Spiritual River s into his body with his own eyes, even this Deputy Peak Lord felt very satisfied looking at it. To be able to endure in the Spiritual River Falls for six days, let alone looking at the entire Blue Cloud Sect, one would not see anyone else after, even if they were old friends. The more he saw, the more he liked Lu Chen, but he did not reveal even the slightest hint of emotion on his face.    

"A direct disciple's golden token was given to a new disciple that had just entered the sect a few days ago. Does Martial Uncle not feel that this is a bit too hasty?" "Suddenly, the crowd parted, and several figures walked out. One of them was tall and straight, with black hair flying in the air, and an intimidating look in his eyes.    

"Senior direct disciple, Zhang Qiang!"    

"Isn't he cultivating bitterly in seclusion? I heard that he's about to break through the Innate Martial Master, why would he be here? "    

"Most likely, he is here to find trouble with Lu Chen's new disciple. Of the new disciples that have entered our First Peak all these years, that one hasn't taught him a lesson yet."    

"And he admires senior brother Bu Zhan the most. Back then, even Senior Brother Bu Zhan only lasted three days in the Spiritual River waterfall, which was already considered very outstanding. Now that a newcomer has stolen the limelight, Zhang Qiang would definitely be very unhappy."    

… ….    

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, the First Peak disciples began to discuss softly, and they were quite fearful of the youth.    

"Zhang Qiang, my decision was approved by the Peak Lord, do you have any objections?" Xiang Wentian frowned. Being questioned by a junior in front of him made him lose a lot of face.    

"Greetings to Peak Lord and Master Uncle, I do not have any objections. I just believe that Junior Brother Lu, who just joined my First Peak, would become a direct disciple with a mere Martial Cultivator Stage. Some people will not be willing to accept this."    

"As everyone knows, my direct disciples of First Peak are all at least disciples of Martial Master Stage. If this Junior Brother Lu were to make an exception, I think our First Peak's rules would be a mess." Zhang Qiang calmly replied. The status of a senior direct disciple was even higher than that of a senior direct disciple. Therefore, when faced with a disciple like Xiang Wentian, he could only call him "Martial Uncle".    

"Lu Chen had defeated Zhou Wang, so naturally, he had strength comparable to Martial Master Stage …"    

"He can only be compared with others, but he is not a practitioner of Martial Master Stage, so he does not have the qualifications." Before Xiang Wentian could finish, he was interrupted by Zhang Qiang.    

"Peak Lord, if I remember correctly, our First Peak rules have clear terms that state this rule, do you still remember that?" With that, Zhang Qiang looked at Gao Chongshan, who was silent.    

"There are indeed rules, but there are always exceptions. Lu Chen's ability is outstanding, and he is able to convince everyone to become his direct disciple." Gao Chongshan said blandly after a long silence.    

"Enough to convince the masses?"    

"With just him, he can defeat Zhou Wang?" Zhang Qiang glanced at Zhou Wang and sneered.    

"I am a senior direct disciple, and now I am unwilling to accept this junior brother of mine becoming a senior direct disciple. I wonder if I can win the hearts of the people?"    

"This is Senior Brother Zhang, right?"    

"How can I convince you?" Suddenly, a laugh could be heard.    

Hearing that, Zhang Qiang slightly raised his eyes and realized that Lu Chen was looking at him with a smile.    

"If you want me to be convinced, you will naturally have to defeat me with your own hands. Winning against Zhou Wang who is like the tail of a crane is nothing." Zhang Qiang raised his eyelids slightly as he spoke in an indifferent manner.    

"Zhang Qiang!" Although they were all First Peak disciples, regardless of their status or strength, they were too far off from each other. The top direct disciple would be the top five direct disciple in the First Peak, and even if Zhou Wang cultivated for a few more years, he would still not be Zhang Qiang's match.    

"However, taking into consideration that it's only been a few days since you joined the sect, I naturally can't bully the weak and fight face to face with you. But since you can persevere for five or six days inside the Spiritual River Falls to make a name for yourself, then your martial skills must be pretty good, and we can compete in the Chaotic world's forest. If you can pass the test within six hours, I, Zhang Qiang, would agree that you should become a direct disciple with your Martial Cultivator Stage strength, what do you think?"    

"Stony Forest?"    

"This is a dangerous place for our First Peak, unless one has a mid-grade Martial Spirit or a talent that is born to be compatible with martial arts, who would dare say that they can pass the test, and even pass it in six hours, there aren't many in the hundred direct disciples that can do it, right?"    

"From what I see, this Zhang Qiang wants to suppress this new disciple a lot. How dangerous is the Stony Forest, us ordinary disciples do not dare to enter at all. If we want to pass within six hours, not many people can do it."    

Hearing Zhang Qiang's suggestion, the stone platform once again burst into an uproar. Stony Forest was a rather vicious name in terms of name, it was a severe test set up by the experts of the First Peak for the sake of training the future generations of disciples. It not only tested one's aptitude in the martial way, it also affected one's cultivation.    

Of course, danger and rewards existed at the same time, and if one could pass through the Stony Forest trial, they would be able to sublimate the body and mind of martial artists, and could better unearth their own potential. Previously, the one who had passed the record in Stony Forest was Wu Tie's respected chief direct disciple Bu Zhan, and he only needed two hours to pass through it in order to break the First Peak record.    

"What, you don't dare?" Noticing Lu Chen's silence, Zhang Qiang continued to sneer.    

"What I don't dare to do hasn't appeared yet, but if it's just an ordinary competition, it would be a little boring. How about this, if I win, Senior Brother Zhang will give me 50 stalks of intermediate level spiritual herbs or High-grade Spiritual Herb, what do you think?"    

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lu Chen first frowned and then slowly smiled. However, this smile, in the eyes of others, seemed a little mischievous.    

"Forty or fifty middle-rank spiritual herbs or High-grade Spiritual Herb?" Hearing that, Zhang Qiang's eyes widened. Did this new disciple get kicked in the head by a donkey? What if the incomparably precious spiritual herbs were like cabbages?    

"Could it be that Lu Chen has some confidence?" With his current ability, wanting to pass the Stony Forest in six hours is still somewhat difficult. " Xiang Wentian raised his eyebrows. He was quite confused when he saw the expression in Lu Chen's eyes.    

"This kid is not a good person!" "Since he dares to say such words, he might have some confidence." Seeing this scene, Gao Chongshan began to admire Lu Chen more and more. Although Gao Chongshan didn't know if the former was impulsive or was really capable, at least his momentum was not weaker than others.    

"Is Senior Brother Zhang afraid of losing to me?" Lu Chen chuckled, purposely raising his tone to provoke.    

"Arrogant!" You think a new disciple like you would be afraid of you? "    

"I can still take out 50 stalks of medium-grade spiritual herbs. It doesn't matter if you win, if you lose …" At this point, Zhang Qiang sneered.    

"If you lose, you can automatically give up your identity as a direct disciple and properly become a normal disciple."    

"Of course." Lu Chen grinned and agreed without hesitation. He really hoped that he could do something like this a few more times, but as for the Stony Forest that Zhang Qiang talked about, Lu Chen did not care, what kind of test could possibly stop him, a strong practitioner of Martial Monarch Level?    

"Why do I feel like boss is going to cheat us again?" On the stone platform, Wang Hao couldn't help but whisper as he looked at Lu Chen.
