Chapter 41: The Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist, Dragon Essence, and Tiger Might!
Chapter 41: The Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist, Dragon Essence, and Tiger Might!
The initial trials wrapped up quickly, with twelve official contestants entering the public spotlight in less than half a day. Among them, a few stood out particularly.
For instance, Zhang Lingyu, who was still winning matches despite internal injuries; Zhuge Qing, the Wu Hou School's successor, who strolled through matches effortlessly; and Jia Zhengliang, the dark horse who emerged with twelve slashing divine blades.
However, the most attention-grabbing contestants were two who severely contradicted their legends.
The first was Zhang Chulan, who had studied the Golden Light Spell and Lightning techniques. According to the rumors, he had mastered one of the Eight Odd Techniques, the Elemental Source Stream, and was a top contender for the championship.
During the preliminary matches, Zhang Chulan had put on a show of strength, tricking other contestants in their matches, and then launched a surprise attack during the break, pushing the limits of shamelessness to the extreme. Afterward, he not only didn’t feel guilty but also claimed to be proud, earning the disdain of everyone and the nickname "Not Shaking the Green Lotus."
The second was Lu Ke, a disciple of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist School who had practiced for ten years but was defeated in three moves. Initially, he was thought to be just a filler, a cannon fodder.
He instantly eliminated two opponents, then used the full power of the Yang God's true disciple, ending the battle in less than three minutes without taking a single step, surprising everyone more than Jia Zhengliang, the dark horse.
Especially after the match, when the crowd looked at Lu Ke with new eyes, someone leaked information about him being a new dark horse, a top seed, and surprisingly, a man who shamelessly sold himself online!
This revelation about Lu Ke drew more attention, even overshadowing the true protagonist of the Ro Tian Da Jiao, Zhang Chulan.
But the discussion under Lu Ke's account was unusually harmonious and peaceful.
After comparing the photos of Lu Ke's face and physique, almost all the female extras, even some male extras, were left in awe.
They all thought that just shooting the physique would not be impressive, but even the face was so handsome!
This was a man of high moral integrity, self-sacrificing for others! The number of Lu Ke's fans surged.
Zhuge Qing's fans also faced a significant test, not because of Lu Ke's fan base's strength, but because the Qing fans all turned traitors!
The remaining Qing fans also showed a hatred and jealousy.
"Is the outside criticism about your provocative content justified? How do you view this matter?"
The reporter from the Yao Xing Social asked during the interview with the official contestants.
Lu Ke took out his phone and showed the reporter the comment section.
—May good people live in peace.
—Several previous posts have been deleted, which good-hearted people could have shared. I'm good!
—I have all the high-definition compressed packages of Lu Ke's content here. Beauties, add v.
—[Link]. It's invalid.
—The above link is invalid. Could a chesty sister repost it?
"Is there any criticism? Are they all positive or not?"
Compared to Zhuge Qing and Zhang Linglong's long-standing feuds, who had been fighting for years, throwing dirt, and stirring up trouble, or some strong accounts, the energy party under Lu Ke's comment section was too harmonious.
"Is this all provocative content? Is this losing the face of the Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
"First, why would you say that showing abs and pecs is provocative?" Lu Ke counter-asked, "I'm just sharing my physical training results. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"To prevent others from making mistakes with my photos, I haven’t even shown my face, let alone my upper body. I think you would consider the upper body of men as provocative, purely out of personal filth."
The reporter: ... A very high degree of sophistry.
"Curse him!"
"Even sharing fitness photos on social media to lose face at the Dragon Tiger Mountain, what’s the point?"
(End of chapter)
I even feel like I'm contributing to the promotion of Longhu Mountain."
Lu Ke had already thought through how he would promote it.
The headline would be: "Longhu Mountain Taoists, Dragon-Precise and Tiger-Strong, Can Easily Go Seven Times in One Night!"
If this headline went viral, it would attract so many queens from the Land of Women, disrupting the Taoist hearts of the rare and hungry young disciples on the mountain. Their future happiness would be guaranteed.
Not everyone cultivates the Five Yang Thunder!
He said with reason and evidence, "Your level of knowledge is clearly insufficient. Our Zhengyi Sect does not deny human nature and social attributes. Taoists can marry and have children."
"So, do you have plans to get married?"
"Marriage is uncertain, but I do have plans to find a girlfriend."
The reporter: ... What a damn scumbag.
"Do you have any other questions? I need to place my bets on the Luotian Grand Ritual competition."
The reporter: ...
A scumbag who dabbles in gambling and yellow content, and there's the shameless Zhang Chuluan. With these two troublemakers around...
The Tianshi Mansion is doomed to fall!
...
Before he could find Zang Long and Bai Shixue to place his bets, Lu Ke ran into Zhang Chuluan and his gang. Xu San and Xu Si were both there.
"Nice one, Lu Ke, even fooling your Fourth Brother," Xu Si said, a cigarette between his fingers, his tone unfriendly.
They had brought Lu Ke here to help Zhang Chuluan win the championship, not to add another formidable competitor to an already tough field. Although Lu Ke could have come on his own, the fact that they had paid for his airfare was very annoying.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, don't say that." Lu Ke waved his hands, "If you talk so provocatively, I might accidentally kill you."
Xu Si: ...
You're the one who's more provoking!
Xu Si narrowed his eyes and began to channel his qi.
At that moment, Feng Baobao spoke up, "You can't beat him. This guy is really fierce. Even the four of us together can't take him down."
Xu Si silently retracted his qi.
For Baobao's sake, he would let Lu Ke off this time.
This wasn't cowardice; it was a strategic retreat!
"Lu Ke, you really had us fooled."
Xu San also sighed, having been the one to register Lu Ke's information. He should have known more about Lu Ke.
Lu Ke smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, Zhang Chuluan started getting excited.
"Damn, Senior Brother Lu is so awesome. Looks like the higher the beauty, the stronger the power. A strong and handsome guy like Senior Brother Lu can't be missed!"
Zhang Chuluan pounced on Lu Ke's leg, rubbing his face against it.
"Senior Brother Lu, I was a bit loud before, but you're a great person, don't hold it against me! From now on, I'll follow your lead. Whatever you say, I won't dare to say no, and wherever you go, I'll follow!"
Lu Ke: ...
Perfect, just as he expected.
Zhang Chuluan only cared about the results, not the process. He could easily discard things that didn't matter. Lu Ke suspected that if he asked Zhang Chuluan to kowtow right now, he wouldn't refuse.
Of course, whether he would hold a grudge was another story.
"Alright, virgin junior brother, don't overthink it. I'm only here for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. If you're willing to give me the Qi Body Source Flow, I don't need the Heavenly Passage Scroll. I can guarantee your ranking will rise."
Lu Ke smiled and made a suggestion.
As for the Heavenly Passage Scroll, he would have plenty of chances to get it once he and Grandfather Lu became one family.
"This..." Zhang Chuluan hesitated, then realized his mistake and quickly smiled, "Senior Brother Lu, I don't have the Qi Body Source Flow. It's just a rumor!"
"No problem, if you don't give me the Qi Body Source Flow, you can give me the Old Farmer's Technique," Lu Ke said slowly.
Zhang Chuluan: ...
Who the hell exposed his secrets!?
Was it you, the clever Feng Baobao!?
