Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Generations Without End

Chen Fei glanced at Reno and Hovenson, who were about to enter the field, then turned her head to Lu Xiao, "Not necessarily, I think Reno has a chance too."

"Reno and Hovenson are both Gold Element Mutants."

"Gold Element Mutants are good at close combat and are known for their strong destructive power."

"Hovenson is too old, his physical functions have begun to decline, and in close combat, he might not be able to outfight Reno."

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Hovenson on the field, who indeed seemed quite aged.

A Mutant’s lifespan is basically the same as an ordinary person’s, unlike Heavenly Men, who can still hop around lively even past a hundred years old.

Hovenson must be about ninety, at first glance, he gives off the feeling of a flickering candle in the wind.

As for Reno, just over sixty, his abilities are at their peak madness.

Reno clearly knew where his advantage lay. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he directly used his superpower to condense a golden spear and charged straight at Hovenson.

Though Hovenson was advanced in age, he was still a Fourth Stage, and his reaction was not slow.

The moment Reno condensed the golden spear, Hovenson had already started retreating.

As he retreated, a surge of superpowers continuously burst forth from in front of him.

This explosion of superpowers quickly transformed into a series of long swords, which interwove into a rain of swords, whistling towards Reno and enveloping him.

"Fourth-stage Mutants really do look cool!" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

Look at that sky full of sword light, and see this cool battle unfold.

In comparison, Heavenly Men just aren’t that interesting to watch.

Even if I’ve now developed a ranged attack with Inner Qi, it is merely a form of energy burst, which is even hard to see with the naked eye.

Not like Mutants, ostentatiously flaunting their flashiness.

"Looking cool can’t fill your stomach. At the same level, Mr. Luli could beat a bunch of them," Chen Fei sniffed, still thinking that Heavenly Men were cooler.

Living longer is the real deal. Liuli Hong is almost one hundred and fifty, still bursting with energy, while Mutants will be ineffective by ninety.

Recently, she too had been practicing the Heavenly Man techniques.

With dual cultivation, hopefully, she could also live a few more years.

"That’s what you say, but you don’t consider how few Heavenly Men there are and how many Mutants there are. Especially Fourth Stage Heavenly Men—there’s only Liuli Hong. That thing has too high of a threshold," Lu Xiao shook his head somewhat helplessly.

I also know Heavenly Men are great, with strong bodies, stamina, and long life spans, but they require too much time to practice, and the talent requirements are also too steep.

"That’s why you are critical," Chen Fei said with a smile, pointing at Lu Xiao, "Have you not noticed? Mr. Luli’s offspring are more likely to reach the Heavenly Man Realm."

Lu Xiao was startled, damn, that does seem to be the case.

All those old men and women from the Azure Dragon Group are somehow related to Liuli Hong.

There are Liuli Hong’s sons, Liuli Hong’s granddaughters, and even Liuli Hong’s grandsons-in-law have achieved the Heavenly Man status.

"So, Lu Xiao, you need to work hard and strive to reach the Fourth Stage Heavenly Man as soon as possible."

"For every additional Fourth Stage in Hua Country, there will be more who can become Heavenly Men in the future."

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and then nodded, "No wonder Old Luli married three wives, he was contributing to the nation. I had misunderstood him before, thinking he was just purely licentious."

Chen Fei’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "So, are you planning to contribute to the country in the future, too?"

Lu Xiao: ???

Damn, the inevitable tricky question has indeed appeared.

"What does that have to do with me! That’s your issue, if you’re willing, you could give birth to eight in ten years," Lu Xiao said, tilting his head and bouncing the problem back to Chen Fei.

What a joke, I’ve been making progress recently.

I’ve read one book after another on how to answer lethal questions from a girlfriend.

Especially "Transformation," which I’m currently reading, an absolute classic in the industry, the king of its field.

The book summarized three points in total: First, catch your girlfriend’s problem; second, resolve your girlfriend’s problem; third, cleverly pass the problem back to your girlfriend.

Each point is the essence.

"Did you learn that from the book ’Transformation’?" Chen Fei asked.

"It was a spontaneous reaction, okay? I want to have children with you, you don’t understand me," Lu Xiao snorted, successfully employing the tactic once again.

Chen Fei rolled her eyes, right, wanting to have kids with me and yet wearing a contraceptive charm every day.

Forget it, let’s not argue with him and just watch the match.

Seeing Chen Fei stop talking, Lu Xiao also turned his gaze back to the ring.

Reno was still trying to close in on Hovenson, who was constantly changing positions and using his superpower to conjure a rain of swords to keep Reno at bay.

"Just as I thought," Lu Xiao muttered under his breath.

As Chen Fei said, Hovenson was too old; in just a few minutes, he was already showing signs of exhaustion.

Unless something unexpected happened, Hovenson would lose.

After all, Reno was a Gold Element Mutant. Faced with these attacks, Reno might not be able to break through, but he wouldn’t be injured either.

The two were essentially in a war of attrition, and in such a battle, Hovenson had no chance.

"At least put up a fight," Lu Xiao shook his head.

In his view, Hovenson should not be using his superpower to keep Reno at a distance, but should actively engage in close combat with Reno.

You have to be aggressive in battle, exerting your full strength to try and defeat Reno before running out of energy.

Hovenson’s superpower was definitely more robust than Reno’s; going all out on the offensive was the right choice.

As time ticked away, minute by minute, the scales of victory gradually tipped towards Reno.

After ten minutes, Hovenson was out of energy, and Reno’s golden spear was suspended at his throat.

Reno won.

The entire venue only erupted at this moment, with cheers shaking the heavens.

"Fack, Fourth Stage is indeed Fourth Stage, truly fierce."

"If I were up there, I’d be dead in an instant."

"Who just said Hovenson would win? Look! Our Civilization Book Club is stronger, after all!"

"Mr. Hovenson is ninety-two years old, alright? If Reno were that old, he would have been killed long ago."

The crowd split into two factions, each refusing to concede to the other, hurling insults back and forth.

As for the ring, it was much more harmonious; Reno dissipated his golden spear and helped Hovenson to his feet.

"Not bad, you’ve improved," Hovenson praised with a smile.

"If Mr. Hovenson had gone on the offensive, the outcome would be uncertain."

Hovenson shook his head: "I’m too old for offensive moves, can’t even run properly."

Soon, Reno helped Hovenson off the stage, and then the other two Fourth Stages entered the ring.

Two groups of Fourth Stages, eight people in total, and four matches, all completed within one hour.

Apart from Reno, the other three who advanced were Victoria’s grandfather Farman, Russian K9’s Qiao Liefu, and Edson.

"So shameless!" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but curse as he watched Edson advance.

"Your last opponent will be Edson, if nothing unexpected happens," Chen Fei spoke with a bit of gravity, she indeed did not expect Edson to compete.

With Edson’s strength and tactics, it was almost impossible for Lu Xiao to win.

Even if Lu Xiao could unleash a Fourth Stage attack, it wouldn’t work; Edson was an Earth Element Mutant, best at defense.

"Next match, Group C’s Sol Vince versus Group D’s Lu Xiao, please come to the ring," the loudspeaker announced.
