Chapter 50: How Can a Flawless Life Be Truly Fragrant?
Chapter 50: How Can a Flawless Life Be Truly Fragrant?
In the vast training arena, Luk gracefully entered the field.
He looked up and noticed a large crowd of important figures in the audience.
At the best viewing spot, the Grand Master, Lu Jin, Wang Ai, Lu Ci, and Feng Zhenghao, all members of the Ten Elders, were present. Zhang Chulan's group had also arrived, with Zhang Lingyu giving a distant salute and Zhuge Qing, who was with his brother, waving to him as if greeting him. Wang, standing beside them, did the same.
Luk also noticed a probing gaze and glanced over without showing any emotion. It was an unassuming old man, hiding in the shadows. It must be Chen Jinkui from the Art School.
"So many people."
Luk smiled silently and shifted his gaze to the other side where there were many young women, seemingly his fan club.
Seeing him look over, the fan club, which had been maintaining their composure in front of the important figures, immediately began cheering.
"Lu Bao, look here, look here!"
"Lu Jushi, I've booked a room at the foot of the mountain, waiting for you to teach me the Dao!"
"Bro, please, a few more naked photos, my friends want to see!"
Feeling such enthusiastic welcome, he almost couldn't resist taking off a couple of pieces of clothing to give the fans a treat, but he still had some dignity left and only pulled down the collar of his Daoist robe a bit.
Zhang Lingyu's face turned green on the stage.
Zhang Lingyu: Even if he has done me a favor, I have to scold him.
Shameless!
Wang Ai let out a snicker, "A disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is indeed different."
Lu Ci also sneered, "The Grand Master's reputation over the years might be ruined by this little brat."
The Grand Master remained calm, "Little Luk is just this way, it's fine. Let's watch their match."
...
Compared to the seemingly carefree Luk, Deng Youfu on the opposite side appeared very serious.
A black aura emanated from his body, making him look sticky and ethereal, almost transforming from a human form into a snake. He crouched slightly and then shot forward like a bolt of lightning.
The black aura seemed to connect him to some existence, and a strength far beyond his own was transmitted from the other end, making his attacks swift and powerful.
"Is this 'Leaving the Stable'?" Luk extended a finger and gently deflected the incoming punch, looking at Deng Youfu's movements with a curious eye.
The power from the animal spirit behind him, though clearly animalistic, did not take over Deng Youfu's body. Instead, it enhanced his physical strength.
Interesting.
Luk remembered that in the world of Kamui, in another work by the same author, the concept of "Leaving the Stable" existed, but it was slightly different. In that world, the spirit borrowed was the person's own soul from a previous life, not an animal.
With a slight effort, his index finger and thumb broke through Deng Youfu's attack and stopped at his forehead.
"Deng brother, be careful."
Deng Youfu felt all the hair on his body stand up, enveloped by a sense of fear. The only thing he could do was frantically borrow the animal spirit's power to protect his forehead.
Boom!
With a snap of Luk's finger, a deep, fan-shaped trench was plowed into the ground, starting from the tip of his finger.
The destructive force of this attack made the spectators turn their heads in surprise.
"This guy is too outrageous. Even if he started practicing in the womb, he couldn't achieve this level," Wang Ai's old face changed color.
Among those present, except for the Grand Master, no one could produce such an effect. And from the look of Luk's relaxed and easy demeanor, it was clear he hadn't even reached his limit.
Lu Ci chuckled softly, seemingly moved, "Heroes emerge from the young. Another Daoist of the Heavenly Path, Longhu Mountain truly produces a lot of talented individuals. Why haven't the young ones in my Lu family shown much promise these past years?"
"Humph." Lu Jin snorted, but there was a hint of pride on his face, "These little rascals, no matter how strong, still need to be disciplined by their elders."
"Grandfather Lu, you're being too harsh. It's normal for a talented young person to have a bit of character."
Feng Zhenghao smiled and said, "I think this young man is quite impressive. The Heaven Society would welcome such talent."
Wang Ai, his face lined with wrinkles, gave a mocking smile. "I doubt it's just about joining the Heaven Society. President Feng, you wouldn't want such an outstanding young man to get to know your daughter well, would you?"
Wang Ai had always despised the Feng family for their sycophantic ways and never considered Feng Zhenghao to be on the same level as himself, even though Feng was one of the Ten Elders.
After all, Feng Tianyang was nothing more than a dog they had raised.
"Lu Ke and Sha Yan are about the same age. It wouldn't be a bad thing if something happened between them," Feng Zhenghao said, brushing off Wang Ai's sarcasm with a gentle smile.
Lu Jin, who was standing nearby, heard this and his expression changed.
I never thought this little brat...
is actually quite sought after!
...
In the arena.
Deng Youfu, bloodied and battered, was embedded in the edge of the arena.
"Cough, cough."
He struggled to climb out, his head bleeding profusely, the blood soaking his face and making him look even more menacing.
"Thank you, Master Lu."
Deng Youfu coughed up another mouthful of blood and expressed his gratitude.
If Lu Ke hadn't warned him in advance and held back, he would have been nothing more than a puddle of flesh.
"All the participants in the Luo Tian Da Jiao are guests of Dragon Tiger Mountain. I wouldn't dream of killing any of them," Lu Ke said, his gaze sweeping over a few people in the audience.
"But those who show up uninvited won't be so lucky."
Deng Youfu didn't quite understand, but he didn't have time to dwell on it. His injuries were severe, and his consciousness was fading. He needed to use his ultimate technique or he wouldn't last much longer.
"Master Lu is kind-hearted. My family member, though a bit temperamental, is also reasonable. I'll ask them to spare your life."
Lu Ke nodded and made a polite gesturePlease, show me what you've got.
Deng Youfu took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and stomped his foot while shouting, "I, Deng Youfu, a third-generation descendant of the Deng family! I summon Lord Liu..."
"Ah! Take possession of me!"
Boom!
A thick, ominous aura instantly swept across the arena, causing a gust of demonic wind and a sharp drop in temperature.
A black qi flow, far more powerful than what Deng Youfu had before, enveloped him. His eyes turned into snake-like pupils, and his mouth and tongue transformed into those of a snake.
If before Deng Youfu was mostly human with some snake elements, now he was purely a snake, a snake with a human body.
What was most surprising was that, despite the vast difference in the two souls, the snake soul hadn't completely taken over. Deng Youfu still retained a bit of his consciousness.
"I know, I'll spare this little punk's life!"
"Lord Liu" seemed a bit impatient, his chilling snake eyes fixed on Lu Ke. "You're quite skilled for your age. Impressive."
"Thank you, Elder. I'm just a beginner, barely able to handle one person at a time. I still need more practice," Lu Ke said humbly.
"Lord Liu" was speechless.
Today, he learned what it meant to speak the most arrogant words with the most humble tone.
"Hmph, remember, the one who defeated you is Liu Kunsheng from Changbai Mountain!"
