However, compared to Lu Chen, he could not be compared with him at all. If he did not remember wrongly, the last time he saw Lu Chen was at the third or fourth level of the Martial Master realm. How much time had passed?
It was infuriating to be compared to others.
"I was just lucky."
"This is not luck. There are two ways to describe a demon-level character." Zhou Wang couldn't help but mock him.
"Speaking of which, it's really fate for us two to be together, I never thought that we would be in the same stage participating in Tao Communicating Association competition, and then I'll go up on stage to guard the stage, you're not allowed to come up and challenge, otherwise I'll have to run for my life."
"Senior Brother Zhou must be joking, we are all First Peak disciples, how would I do such a thing?" Even though he knew it was the other party teasing him, Lu Chen still laughed.
"These words of yours are enough. This time's Tao Communicating Association, you must help us refuel our First Peak." Zhou Wang patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.
Although he was an expert at Innate Martial Master Level, he had no idea how many people were stronger than him in terms of Tao Communicating Association. Forget about the others, even in Stage Three, there were several direct disciples that had reached this level. It was still a bit difficult to deal with them, so they might not be able to make it through the second round of the competition.
"Senior Brother Zhou, we haven't seen each other for a few months. Your strength has improved quite a bit. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort during this period of time." Lu Chen smiled slightly and could not help but nod his head.
"Lu Chen, stop joking with me."
"It wasn't easy for me to break through to this realm, otherwise I wouldn't have the qualifications to participate in this session's Tao Communicating Association. Compared to you, my talent is really inferior."
Hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn't help but start laughing bitterly. He had already been in the sect for several years, but before this, there was still a lot of distance between him and the Innate Martial Master. That was why he was able to breakthrough to the Innate Realm and represent First Peak in this session.
Although he appeared to be somewhat lucky, compared to a monstrous genius like Lu Chen, he felt a sense of helplessness. He had broken through the innate Martial Master Stage, but Liu Tie had already become a senior direct disciple. He had only joined the sect for half a year, yet he had consecutively defeated several famous senior direct disciples. Now, other than Bu Zhan and Yun Canghai, he was also the strongest in First Peak.
"Senior Brother Zhou's talent is already pretty good." Lu Chen laughed.
"Lu Chen, you are now a senior direct disciple. Just call me Zhou Wang. Don't call me senior." Although Lu Chen had just joined the sect, he was still a senior direct disciple. Logically, he should have called Lu Chen his senior brother, but since Lu Chen had only joined the sect for a short period of time, it was difficult for him to adapt. Thus, he had to call Lu Chen his senior brother.
"I've only been in the sect for a short time, so this is how it should be." Lu Chen shook his head.
"This …"
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't have any intention to change his words, Zhou Wang didn't say anything more. However, his impression of Lu Chen was much better. Although Lu Chen and his disciple became the senior direct disciple, they were very close to each other.
"Since you are unwilling to change your name, then I can only reluctantly accept your name as' senior brother '." Zhou Wang revealed a smile and continued to look around at the surrounding people. He said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, you've only been in the sect for a short time, I don't think the people from the other mountains are clear about this, right?"
"There's a guy in Ring Three, you have to be careful." As he spoke, Zhou Wang's gaze landed on a young man in front.
"That guy is called Xiao Hee, a direct disciple of Second Peak. He had a good relationship with Lei Cheng previously, if you go up on stage, he probably won't stop. You should be more careful."
Following Zhou Wang's line of sight, it was a very young man. Although his appearance couldn't be considered outstanding, the energy waves emitted from his body were exceptionally vigorous.
If he wasn't mistaken, this guy had been staring at him from the very beginning.
"Innate Seventh Layer Of Martial Master!"
Lu Chen's brows twitched as he felt the opponent's real cultivation level. On the third ring, this Xiao Hee was quite strong and could be considered the strongest existence among the seven or eight senior direct disciples. No wonder Zhou Wang wanted him to pay more attention.
However, if it was only innate Seventh Layer Of Martial Master, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, for your reminder. I will pay more attention." Wu Tie nodded his head and said with a smile.
I believe that with your strength, entering the second round will not be a big problem, but you still have to be careful, and you can use the Tao Communicating Association a few times, so don't underestimate this Xiao Hee.
The Tao Communicating Association and the direct disciple examinations were completely different, in order to better reflect the true strength of the disciples, magic tools could also be used. Ordinary direct disciples could increase their strength by a level when they used magic tools, and at the level of senior direct disciples, if they used magic tools, their combat power would definitely increase by a large amount.
"You can use magic tools."
Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. If that was the case, then he really couldn't let down his guard. It seemed like the first round wouldn't be as easy as he imagined.
As the two of them were talking, someone on Stage Three was already on the stage. That was a senior direct disciple from the Third Peak, and in less than ten moves, he had already defeated another senior direct disciple from Fourth Peak with extreme ease.
Over 10 minutes later, many battles had taken place on the third ring. However, none of them had succeeded so far.
As for the guy called Xiao Hee who was reminded by Zhou Wang, he also seemed to be paying attention to Lu Chen's movements. He was very calm and didn't immediately stand guard, as if intentionally or unintentionally waiting for his move.
"It seems like that guy has really set his sights on me." Lu Chen noticed the look in the other party's eyes and sneered in his heart. A guy with mere innate Seventh Layer Of Martial Master really overestimated himself if he wanted to attack him. Since the other party had that intention, he would naturally not let him down.
Time ticked by.
The competition on the third ring was fierce. Besides the direct disciples, the other senior direct disciples were fighting even more fiercely. In just an hour, seven or eight battles had already broken out.
Lu Chen remained calm and didn't have any intention of making a move. This made Xiao Hee, who was secretly watching him, a little impatient.
"This guy called Lu Chen. If he dares to offend Senior Lei, I won't let you off, but since he hasn't moved yet, should I continue to wait?"
Xiao Hee hesitated. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the arena. Since Lu Chen didn't take the initiative to attack, he would force him to do so.
