Chapter 46: Lu Jin's Life, Never Inferior to Any!
Chapter 46: Lu Jin’s Life, Never Inferior to Any!
Geniuses are those who are naturally endowed with exceptional abilities in certain areas.
In this world, there are geniuses with extraordinary lung capacities, geniuses with immense appetites and robust physiques, geniuses with photographic memories and a knack for learning, and of course, geniuses with innate talent and unparalleled qi sensing abilities.
Lu Jin has always considered himself a genius. Despite his family's strict upbringing and his own meticulous conduct, and even though he often humbly presents himself to others, he has never denied his own genius.
Born into a prestigious family, he joined the top-tier mystical sect “San Yi Men” and was apprenticed to the leader of the righteous path, the “Great Sage of Abundance,” Zuo Roton.
With outstanding talent and excellent character, Lu Jin advanced through the three levels of the Reverse Birth technique at an impressive pace, earning him a prestigious reputation among the younger generation.
His childhood could be described as nothing short of smooth sailing.
During Lu Family's birthday celebration, many senior figures from various great sects were invited, and they brought along their disciples. In a moment of excitement, the younger generation decided to hold a competition.
Lu Jin, with his mastery of the third level of Reverse Birth, fought valiantly against numerous young disciples from great sects, defeating one after another, until he met that person.
The disciple of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jingqing—Zhang Zhiwei.
Lu Jin knew he wasn’t the strongest among the younger generation. He was certainly one of the most outstanding, but there were always others who were better. How could it be that no one in his age group could match him?
His excellence was a combination of his own talent and a bit of social maneuvering.
However, he never imagined he would lose so miserably.
Even if he knew there would be someone stronger than him in his age group, he expected a fierce battle, with both sides using every trick in the book, trading blows back and forth, and finally, with great difficulty, one would emerge victorious.
But that person only needed a single, gentle palm strike.
And he even held back, not daring to use his full strength.
And with that, Lu Jin was utterly defeated.
It was the first time Lu Jin questioned whether he truly deserved the title of genius.
Now, seeing that identical Daoist robe, the same tall figure, and the same palm rapidly growing in his field of vision, his mind once again doubted his claim to genius.
Am I really a genius?
No, a true genius is nothing like me.
A true genius, no matter how hard one chases, no matter how much effort one puts in, can only be looked up to, only their back can be seen, and even a moment of relaxation would make that back disappear into the distance.
A monster who can crush the younger generation, dominate the older generation, and even face the best of the elders—such a being should not exist in this world.
That is what a genius is.
And he, always encounters geniuses.
...
Boom—
The qi in the palm strike suddenly diminished at the last moment.
The remaining force sent Lu Jin’s head spinning as he made a close acquaintance with the ground, the soil cracking and forming a large pit.
"Sorry, Elder Lu."
Lu Ke's apology came belatedly.
"Your mastery of the third level of Reverse Birth is extremely profound. I couldn't shake your Upper Dan Tian, so I had to rely on brute force."
After a moment, a loud, strong voice came from the deep pit, devoid of any weakness.
"Hmph, it's nothing. The third level of Reverse Birth isn't as simple as you think."
Lu Jin’s hand firmly grasped Lu Ke's wrist, prying open the hand that had slapped his face, the strength slightly greater than expected, causing Lu Ke a bit of surprise.
The old Celestial Master, walking out of the room, smiled and enlightened Lu Ke.
"Little Lu Ke, don't underestimate the third level of Reverse Birth. Even if you combine all the techniques in the world, the third level of Reverse Birth stands unparalleled."
"The philosophy of San Yi Men—when a person is born, the innate qi manifests as limbs and bones, this is the natural order."
Following the natural order of things, one cannot escape death. Therefore, one must reverse the process to cultivate back to the primordial state, which is against the natural order. This is the ultimate goal of ascending to immortality, and it is the origin of the Three Levels of Reversal.
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for your guidance," Luk said thoughtfully, nodding.
Both the Golden Light Spell and the Three Levels of Reversal are techniques that strengthen the body and mind while also enhancing cultivation. However, the Three Levels of Reversal are more complex, making them less robust than the Golden Light Spell. Yet, this complexity also means that they are more effective.
The Three Levels of Reversal truly are a remarkable technique.
"An old bastard and a little brat!"
The casual conversation between the two monsters infuriated Lu Jin. A burst of force traveled down his arm and into Luk, sending him flying through the air for over ten meters before he landed steadily.
Lu Jin, unscathed, emerged from the crater, a faint white aura radiating from his body, giving him an ethereal appearance.
First, he glared at the eager old Grandmaster, then turned his serious gaze to Luk.
Having watched Luk's matches, Lu Jin knew better than to underestimate him. That's why he activated the Three Levels of Reversal from the start. Otherwise, he could have easily overpowered a younger opponent with his advanced cultivation and combat skills.
At that moment, Lu Jin felt particularly frustrated. If he were nineteen again, with the Heavenly Record and the Three Levels of Reversal, combined with his current cultivation, he would have a significant advantage. However, this little brat was even more formidable than Zhang Zhiwei at the same age!
If it weren't for the Three Levels of Reversal and the fact that Luk held back on his first strike, he might have been defeated from the start.
What a ridiculous situation!
A member of the Ten Elders, one of the most powerful figures, being held back by a teenager under twenty!
The two figures, the current monster and the former monster, slowly merged in Lu Jin's mind. His resolve hardened.
Today, he would win this battle. Even if he had to create an opportunity, he would win. Today, he would erase the shame of the past!
"This is the legendary Three Levels of Reversal, the first level, the Power of Dragon and Tiger, right?"
Ignoring the old man's fighting spirit, Luk asked curiously.
The Three Levels of Reversal aim to reverse one's cultivation back to the primordial state, divided into three levels, each a qualitative leap.
Lu Jin didn't answer. In a flash, he was in front of Luk, his pale hands moving slowly but striking with incredible speed. Each movement was heavy and powerful.
First Level of the Three Levels of Reversal: True Qi Abundance, Qi Transforming the Body.
Luk smiled and raised his hand to meet the attack. In the span of ten breaths, their hands, enveloped in white Qi and resembling jade, clashed hundreds of times.
In the seemingly evenly matched struggle, Luk suddenly moved forward, his attacks becoming faster. One hand blocked the relentless assault, while the other aimed for Lu Jin's neck.
Bang!
Lu Jin's body flew backward like a cannonball, but he quickly stabilized himself in mid-air. The white Qi flowed through him, and he seemed to have boundless energy as he attacked again.
Second Level of the Three Levels of Reversal: Qi Transforming the Muscles, Bones, and Organs.
This level allows for the temporary Qi transformation of internal organs, bones, and blood, enabling rapid healing through the flow of Qi.
Luk licked his lips, feeling a bit itchy inside.
Even though he had held back, his attack should have been enough to injure and knock out Lu Jin. Yet, Lu Jin showed no signs of injury, not even a hint of fatigue. Despite knowing the effects of the Three Levels of Reversal, Luk couldn't help but admire it.
Such a cool and practical skill.
He wanted it even more!
Over the past two days, I've received several generous donations from a few readers. Thank you very much.
