Chapter 63: Zhuge Qing, You're the Challenger
Chapter 63: Zhuge Qing, You're the Challenger
The night of madness had passed, and as the sun rose, the crowds sprawled out around the bonfire began to stir and wake up.
Zhang Chulan slowly opened his eyes, feeling a slight chill in his lower body. He looked down and saw a bit of wood shavings on his brother’s pants.
After a three-second pause, he clenched his fist and seemed to understand something. He then closed his eyes again.
A minute later, he opened his eyes with a blank expression, pulled up his pants, and turned to look at the grinning Lu Ke.
"Master Lu, I was dreaming, right? Nothing happened last night, right?"
Lu Ke pointed to some oddly shaped holes in the trees around them. "What do you think, my 80% Woodpecker Brother?"
He clicked his tongue in amazement, spreading his hands wide. "Virgin, I always thought you had potential, but I never expected you to be this talented, even to the point where I feel inferior."
"You’ve added another use for the Golden Light Spell."
"You even thought of using lightning to speed up your thrusts. What a genius idea!"
"Of course, if the target wasn’t a tree, the scene might have been more pleasing."
Lu Ke’s eyes sparkled as he extended his hand.
"Come on, forget about practicing Qi Body Source Flow. Learn the art of being a scumbag with me."
"Ha ha ha."
"Rare for you to admit you're a scumbag, you so-called pure love enthusiast."
Zhang Chulan let out a soulful sigh, covering his face and crying, feeling that his life had come to a halt, his chances of finding a partner now non-existent, and that he would probably remain a virgin for the rest of his life.
As they spoke, one by one, the fallen people began to wake up.
"Ouch, my head hurts like someone hit me with a club. What? 7 points, what the hell?"
"Eh, where are my pants? Why are my pants gone?"
"Pain... 60% of me has lost my right to choose a partner."
"Don’t worry, Zanglong only got 3 points!"
"Zhang Lingyu, that bastard, I’ll never forgive him! Oh, I got 8.5 points, hehehe."
"What kind of people are those from the Celestial Master’s Mansion? How can they be so shameless, even taking off people’s pants?"
"Zhang Lingyu has fallen, doesn’t that mean the new generation of the Celestial Master’s Mansion is completely corrupt?"
"Thankfully, the old Celestial Master still has his dignity."
After the crowd had ogled Zhang Lingyu’s pale flesh, the Real Person Lingyu was so humiliated and angry that he wanted to kill Lu Ke and then himself. But remembering that he couldn’t win and that Lu Ke had once done him a favor, he held back.
"Actually, this is quite common in the big public baths in the north, Lingyu. You don’t need to take it so seriously. If it really bothers you, just take off everyone else’s pants, and we’ll all be on the same level."
Lu Ke whispered like a demon, "As long as no one dares to speak up, this will remain a secret."
To make it easier for him to act, Lu Ke sent away the innocent girls, leaving only a few eager female ruffians as judges.
Zhang Lingyu didn’t want to, but the drunken Zhang Chulan, who seemed to have lost his mind, started stripping other men’s pants when he heard Lu Ke mention it.
With someone leading the way and Lu Ke’s threats and bribes, Real Person Lingyu’s resolve wavered, and he couldn’t resist...
The last bit of purity in the Celestial Master’s Mansion was lost.
All the men present, except for Zhuge Qing, who was spared by Lu Ke, and even the Wu Dang Wang, were stripped of their pants and rated by the female ruffians.
Drunk and with unstable Qi, the men’s resistance was minimal, and some even seemed to look forward to it. The few who were skilled in physical training were especially unafraid, proudly standing with their chests out, almost eager to take off their pants.
Using the average standard for adult men online as 10 points, the highest and lowest scores were removed, and the average was taken.
The entire event was intense, with the male participants blushing and the female judges eagerly watching. Midway through, a few pairs who had found each other’s company left the mountain together.
Although Lu Ke had taken away the female ruffians’ phones to prevent any incidents, Ji Jinhua, known as the Human Computer, used her exceptional memory to record the scores of the men present. She posted them online after getting her phone back at dawn.
As everyone regained consciousness, their gazes gradually focused on Zhang Chulan and Luk. Their expressions turned sinister, and their eyes filled with malice.
"It's Zhang Chulan and Luk! Quickly, take them down!"
"That's right, we can't let these two culprits escape. Where's Zhang Lingyu?"
"Zhang Lingyu's too ashamed to show his face and has already run away. Let's eliminate these two first. I'll handle the one with the unshaken lotus, and you go after Luk!"
"Good one, you sure know how to pick your battles. Why don't you take on Luk?"
"Stop arguing, they're about to get away. Hurry up and chase them!"
...
Amidst the chaos, Luk dragged Zhang Chulan back to the arena.
"Master Luk, can you stop doing such outrageous things? Does it really benefit you in any way?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but complain.
"Life is all about having fun, and everyone seemed pretty happy. Plus, a few marriages were arranged, making the Dragon Tiger Mountain's first Bird Appreciation Festival a resounding success."
Luk shrugged. Zhang Chulan's moonlit bird stroll was a planned event, and Luk had just expanded its scope a bit. In a way, he had even helped, at least this time he hadn't been recorded.
Cultivation is a balance of work and play. Occasionally relaxing and finding some fun is essential. If everything he did was solely focused on enhancing his strength, would he be a person or just a machine relentlessly pursuing a set goal?
Reflecting on this for a few seconds, he acknowledged that he indeed made a mistake. Whether he would change...
He would change! Zhang Chulan sighed. Being a logical and cautious person, he and those who seek fun were naturally at odds. Shaking his head, he walked over to the match schedule.
In the round of sixteen, Zhang Chulan's opponent was Tang Wenlong, followed by the winner of Feng Baobao and Wang Bing. It wasn't a big issue; Tang Wenlong was still recovering from the attack by Hu Jie, and Baobao was on his side.
Luk's side was much more competitive. His first match was against Zhuge Qing, followed by the winner of Wang Ye and Jia Zhengliang. The quality was top-notch.
"This Grand Master's lightning technique is no joke," Luk muttered, feeling a bit speechless. They talked about behind-the-scenes manipulation, but this was almost like laying all the cards on the table.
But then again, he was the one most likely to win in the eyes of outsiders. An internal conflict within the Heavenly Master's Mansion might also make sense.
Fine, let's just go with it. After all, he would flatten everyone.
Just as he thought this, he saw Zhuge Qing approaching with a serious expression.
"Luk, about the match..."
"I understand. I won't hurt you. We'll go for three hundred rounds, and when you're exhausted, I'll win by a hair, giving your Wu Hou Sect enough face." Luk gave a thumbs-up.
Zhuge Qing sighed. "Luk, your complete lack of respect for your opponents can be infuriating. Be careful, or you might end up in a ditch."
Luk felt a bit helpless. It wasn't that he wanted to be arrogant; it was just that the power level in this world was really low, and he had just shared in the strength of Lanlong, advancing even further.
How could he lose when Lanlong was riding his face?
Zhuge Qing smiled, his eyes narrowing with a glint of competitive desire.
"I have one last card, given to me by my family. I never thought I'd use it, even if it meant dying. But I consider you a friend, and your mindset is too frivolous. You need a lesson."
He said sincerely, "If I really use that technique and feel my life is in danger, Luk, at that time..."
"Timely forfeit."
Luk: ...
Good grief, why is Zhuge Qing more arrogant than me?

To top it all off, Editor suddenly told me that we're going to be featured on the Three Rivers next week, and I need to have my manuscript ready by Wednesday. I have to update aggressively. While I'm thrilled, I'm also a bit overwhelmed. (﹏)
