Invincible Martial King

"The mountain and river sun and moon diagram in my hands is an important clue to an ancient ruin. My big brother doesn't just want to suppress me, he also wants to get this thing."    

    

"If you are willing to join my team, then we will have the chance to explore this ancient ruin together in the future."    

    

"I believe you should know the value of this pill."    

    

After saying that, Third Prince and Yin Zhi looked at Lu Chen, quietly waiting for his answer.    

    

Looking at the Mountain and River Diagram of the Sun and the Moon in Yin Zhi's hand, Lu Chen's eyes changed for a moment before they were replaced by a determined look. Under Yin Zhi's astonished gaze, Lu Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "Let me think about it."    

    

"Can you give Third Prince an answer next time?"    

    

Lu Chen's reaction was out of Yin Zhi's expectation. He was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. He relaxed and said, "No worries, you can seriously consider this."    

    

"After all, my identity is special. It's only right for me to make a choice if I'm a little more careful."    

    

"However, the Dagan Academic Palace today is not as tranquil as many people imagine. Even the entire empire is surging with undercurrents."    

    

Yin Zhi let out a long sigh and paused for a moment before continuing, "Lu Chen, with your talent, you will definitely become a true young warrior in the academy. However, if you want to continue on this path, then it will be hard to avoid trouble."    

    

"I hope you can make a wise decision."    

    

"Thank you, Third Prince."    

    

Wu Tie nodded. He could feel Yin Zhi's sincere desire to win him over, but in the end, he only wanted to save his mother who was trapped in the palace. He had no interest in getting involved with the princes, because doing so would only increase the risk of exposing his true identity.    

    

Thus, unless it was a truly crucial moment, he would not easily make a decision.    

    

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back for now."    

    

"Sure."    

    

Watching Lu Chen's back as he left, Third Prince and Yin Zhi's eyes sparkled, but they didn't say anything in the end.    

    

"What a pity."    

    

"Third Prince was kind and persuasive, but he actually rejected him just like that." Just as Lu Chen stepped out of the palace, a figure appeared out of thin air behind Yin Zhi. His body was concealed in a long black robe without any sound. He was almost like a ghost, with no trace of soul power on his body, making him look extremely strange.    

    

"There's nothing to be sorry about."    

    

"From the first moment I saw him on Hundred Sects Meeting, I knew that Lu Chen was destined to be extraordinary."    

    

"Although he doesn't want to join my faction now, that doesn't mean he won't join in the future."    

    

Yin Zhi said plainly with his deep black eyes. His calm voice was filled with confidence.    

    

"Third Prince's meaning is …" The black-robed man frowned.    

    

"Very simple."    

    

"Not only did he defeat those few people from West Campus, he also defeated Xiu Qi. One must know that the person standing behind Xiu Qi is Big Brother's most loyal fellow."    

    

"Lu Chen has already offended that person in a disguised manner. Based on his temper, he would definitely not tolerate sand." Yin Zhi smiled and continued, "No matter how strong Lu Chen is, he is no match for that guy. When the time comes, we will help him and he will be grateful."    

    

"As expected of Third Prince."    

    

Hearing this, the man in black nodded his head. It turned out that Yin Zhi had already made plans. A prince like him, who could survive in the fierce battle at the palace, was not a simple person.    

    

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to tell this guy called Lu Chen things like the Mountain and River Diagram in advance?" After a moment of silence, the black robed man asked again.    

    

"It doesn't matter."    

    

"Brother already knew that this thing was in my hands, even if Lu Chen spread the news about the Mountain and River Diagram, it wouldn't affect me much. Besides, he wouldn't be such a dumb person, even if he doesn't join my faction temporarily, with his intelligence, he wouldn't offend me in the academy."    

    

Yin Zhi seemed very confident. Although he had only met Lu Chen two or three times, from his perspective, the latter was definitely not a rash person. Otherwise, he would have accepted his invitation.    

    

Time passed in a flash.    

    

Ever since Myriad Flowers Tavern, Lu Chen's fame rose once again in both the east and west courtyards. Although it was only in the realm of the First Layer Of Sect Master, everyone believed that he had the strength comparable to experts in the Seventh Layer Of Sect Master of the martial way. Even the seniors in the east courtyard had stopped looking down on him.    

    

He had only been in the academy for a few days, and he had already undergone the Soul Spring's baptism. At the same time, he had defeated Xiu Qi and several West Campus students, causing many to have a whole new level of respect for Lu Chen. And the new students who entered the academy at the same time also treated Lu Chen as their idol.    

    

Due to this reason, Lu Chen had accumulated quite a bit of fame in the East District. However, no matter how much news of his deeds were spread around the outside world, Lu Chen didn't pay any attention to it.    

    

After interacting with the senior students in the academy, he realized that his strength was still far from enough. No matter if it was the East and West Branch, let alone the top geniuses, even the Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master warriors like Zhang Hongru and Ao Hong, if they were to fight, under the premise that they did not use the Arcane Arts, with Lu Chen's current combat strength, it would be hard to deal with them.    

    

After all, even though there was only a difference of a small realm between their Sect Master Level, their true combat power was more than ten times or even more. According to Lu Chen's current strength, he should not have any opponents in the realm of Seventh Layer Of Sect Master, but if he were to fight against an expert of Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, even using all of his methods would be difficult to predict.    

    

In these past few days, Lu Qiaoer and Liu Tie, who were cultivating in the Training Hall, came out one after another. As for the others like Bu Zhan and Lee Mubai, because of the huge gap between their cultivation realms, they chose to continue to cultivate.    

    

Lu Qiaoer and Yao Jie's breakthroughs were very obvious, the two of them were already martial artists with the perfect Fifth Layer of a martial arts grandmaster, and from the Sixth Heavenly Layer, they only had a tiny bottleneck. After the accelerated cultivation speed, they finally broke through, and both of them became martial artists with the Sixth Heavenly Layer.    

    

Apart from Lu Chen, the two of them were the strongest among the new students of the East District.    

    

However, even though they had broken through a small realm, both Lu Qiaoer and Yao Jie were not very satisfied. A Sixth Heavenly Layer Martial Master could be considered to be unstoppable in the outside world, but they were considered to be one of the lowest ranked disciples in the entire Sect Master Level palace, a place where martial practitioners roamed all over the place. Thus, in order to improve their own strength, they listened to Yu Hao's teacher's suggestion and planned to enter the Wilderness Secret Realm through the teleportation hall.
