Invincible Martial King

He had previously been a half-step King. From the looks of it, he had broken through to become a true King. Otherwise, he would have had the confidence to do so. Furthermore, the location was fixed outside the entrance of the academy …    

    

Thinking about this, Lu Chen smiled and said to himself, "It seems that some people are tired of living and want to take their own life."    

    

On this day, the news of Chen Jinnan challenging Lu Chen once again spread throughout the academy. It was as if there was a violent storm brewing on a calm lake.    

    

The Dagan Academic Palace had already been calm for a month, and not long after Lu Chen returned to the academy, something like this happened.    

    

… ….    

    

"Lu Chen, I heard Chen Jinnan is going to challenge you again?"    

    

"You didn't agree, did you?"    

    

Ao Hong pushed open the door and entered. Zhang Hongru followed behind him.    

    

Now that the news had spread across the entire Dagan Academic Palace, the two of them rushed over as soon as they found out. Ao Hong's complexion wasn't bad. Previously, he had suffered severe injuries so he had his men bring him back to the academy to recuperate. However, because he returned early, he knew a lot about the recent events in the academy.    

    

"Yes."    

    

Lu Chen smiled and said lightly: "Since those people are courting death, why don't I just give them a quick death?"    

    

"However, according to some rumors I've heard, Chen Jinnan might have made a breakthrough. He was originally short of the strength of a King's Realm cultivator, but I'm afraid that now …"    

    

Ao Hong did not finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was very clear. If there were no accidents, Chen Jinnan's current cultivation level would have probably reached that level. Otherwise, he would not have mustered up his courage to challenge Lu Chen.    

    

How could this be a challenge? It was more like a trap.    

    

"If that's really the case, then why don't you ignore him and accept his challenge when you break through in the future?" Zhang Hongru pondered for a moment and also said.    

    

It was not because he did not believe in Lu Chen's strength and aptitude, although he was not present when Lu Chen helped Yin Zhi to fight for the Tao Artifact, but he had heard Yin Zhi mention afterwards that Lu Chen was probably unrivalled under the King Realm. If Chen Jinnan really broke through to become a King Stage Expert, even if Chen Jinnan was under the level of an invincible King, it would not be enough to face a true King Realm expert.    

    

Even though he was only half a step away from becoming a true expert, the difference between a half-step King and a true King was like the difference between a grandmaster of martial arts and Innate Martial Master. It might even be a bit exaggerated.    

    

"Yes, that's right."    

    

"It won't be too late to accept his challenge when you break through in the future." Ao Hong also agreed.    

    

"I know you guys are worried about me, but don't worry, I know what I'm doing."    

    

Knowing that the two of them had good intentions, Lu Chen patted their shoulders and smiled.    

    

"Lu Chen, you can't be sloppy about this matter. It's best if you listen to our advice." Ao Hong continued, hoping Lu Chen would listen to their suggestion.    

    

Third Prince has entered the palace now, but after hearing this news, I also warned you to be careful. I heard that the Qing Clan and Yuwen Family found out that you returned to the academy, and were looking for an opportunity to make a move against you. Zhang Hongru said with a deep voice.    

    

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."    

    

Forget about Chen Jinnan breaking through to the King Realm, even if he broke through to the Middle Period Of King Stage, how would he be his opponent? As for the Qing Clan and the Yuwen Family, Lu Chen was just thinking about finding them to settle the score.    

    

"You really still want to go?"    

    

Ao Hong frowned and asked when he saw Lu Chen's indifferent look.    

    

"Why not?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.    

    

Hearing this, Ao Hong and Zhang Hongru looked at each other in dismay. That could very well be a conspiracy. Lu Chen had drilled his way in just like that. Could he really escape unscathed?    

    

But seeing that Lu Chen had made up his mind, the two knew that it would be useless to say anything more.    

    

… ….    

    

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.    

    

On this day.    

    

Countless figures gathered at the Dagan Academic Palace Mountain Gate. A huge arena was built on the originally empty field.    

    

On the arena, a tall figure drew the attention of everyone.    

    

It was a young man with a head full of black hair that fluttered in the wind. His face was smooth and fair, and the outline of his facial features were distinct.    

    

Compared to before, Chen Jinnan was much less aggressive and had a more stable and mature temperament. Standing there, he was like a statue and although he did not reveal any of his aura, he gave off the feeling that he was a sleeping Abyss giant beast, making it difficult for people to see his depth.    

    

There were plenty of people below the arena.    

    

Not only were there students from the two academies, there were also people from Chen Family, Qing Clan and Yuwen Family. According to the rules, the powers in the capital could not set foot in the academy, but the location of the competition was at the school gate, so no one stopped them.    

    

"You've been waiting for so long, Lu Chen can't be not coming, right?"    

    

"I heard that Chen Jinnan had already broken through to the King's Realm, that's why he dared to challenge Lu Chen to a fight. Is it because Lu Chen received news that he's afraid?"    

    

"Don't talk nonsense, how can Lu Chen be afraid? He is the strongest student in our Dagan Academic Palace, so what if Chen Jinnan has broken through to the King Realm? I believe that Lu Chen is still invincible and unstoppable. "    

    

"What do you mean 'invincible and unstoppable'? Do you know the difference between a king and a grandmaster of martial arts? This is simply a natural moat. "    

    

"If I don't become the king, I'll just be an ant in the end."    

    

… ….    

    

As time passed, Lu Chen still did not appear, causing many people to start discussing among themselves. Some people questioned Lu Chen's fear of battle, but there were also people who believed that with Lu Chen's strong and overbearing style, he would definitely not be afraid of Chen Jinnan, especially the students of the East District who were full of confidence. The legend created by Lu Chen could simply be called a miracle, and he was the idol of all of them.    

    

One hour.    

    

Two hours.    

    

Lu Chen's figure still did not appear. Not only were the others impatient, even East Campus Student who was filled with confidence couldn't help but to be a little worried. Could it be that Senior Lu was really afraid of fighting?    

    

"Hongju, did that guy not plan to come over today because he listened to our advice?" In the crowd, Ao Hong couldn't help but ask Zhang Hongru.    

    

"Do you think that's possible?" Zhang Hongru rolled his eyes and asked.    

    

"I don't think so. Maybe Lu Chen was purposely late and left these guys to bask in the sun." Ao Hong guessed as he recalled Lu Chen's personality.    

    

"Not a possibility, but a certainty. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in that guy's style." Zhang Hongru smiled wryly. If he knew earlier, he would have come a bit later, but now he was also hung up here to bask in the sun.    

    

Just as the discussions were getting louder and louder, Chen Jinnan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the distant horizon. He muttered to himself, "He's here."
