Chapter 243: 0175 Emei Seven Stars (4 more updates! 4k for monthly ticket)

On the platform.

Lu Chenzhou analyzed this battle.

Ouyang Rong’s strength seemed considerably weaker than Wang Hongdao’s. As he had expected, this person appeared to grasp the Five Forms, but each form was half-hearted, which made him seem mediocre. When facing a true master, he quickly fell behind.

It wasn’t that the Innate Five Beasts Palm was weak. If he had been slow and steady, not eager for quick success, combining the reality and illusion of the Five Beasts Transformation, he might have lasted longer, but defeating Lu Chenzhou... that was still impossible.

Lu Chenzhou’s Qi-Blood surpassed his, and he was also cultivating both inner and outer skills. Plus, he had many unused cards up his sleeve. Against this relatively ordinary Tenth Rank, he truly had no fear.

"Still, fighting Wang Hongdao was more thrilling," Lu Chenzhou thought to himself.

Below the platform.

Resisting the turmoil of his Qi-Blood, Ouyang Rong smiled and said, "I lost, Brother Lu’s Tiger Form is indeed impressive."

Before he had come, Chen Yuan had said this person was very strong.

But only after truly fighting did he realize... Chen Yuan had been conservative.

This man’s rumored powerful cards weren’t even used.

Moreover, his Qi-Blood must have already broken through level 7.

"Da Xia truly is a place hiding crouching tigers and hidden dragons."

He didn’t lose his fighting spirit; instead, it grew more intense.

Even among those with Low Class root bone, there are higher mountains than himself.

Any smugness he had felt before completely vanished in this moment!

Lu Chenzhou returned to the resting area.

The enthusiastic and excited voice of the host rang out:

"Incredible, Lu Chenzhou has defeated his opponent, also of Tenth Rank, within thirty moves, without a doubt, he is now the hot favorite for this championship!"

Before this, due to home advantage, Huo Tianyuan had the highest support, but after this battle, chants for Lu Chenzhou thundered continuously in the spectator seats.

"Hahaha, that’s the Elephant Form!"

"So powerful, such a terrifying gap even among the Tenth Rank."

"The Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall is strong, I remember there’s a woman among the top 64 from this academy as well, unbelievable that a small academy has produced two experts."

Back in the dressing room.

The results of the next round of matches had already come out.

[Lu Chenzhou (Flying Swallow) vs Zhou Ziyu (Point Star)]

Lu Chenzhou felt a gaze upon him. In a nearby rest area, Zhou Ziyu was looking at him, and when she realized Lu Chenzhou was looking back, she smiled slightly.

Next to Zhou Ziyu was a burly middle-aged bald figure.

Iron Buddha Zhou Tong, a graduate of Emei Martial Arts University, excelled in Emei Hard Qi Skill.

After watching Lu Chenzhou’s performance, he sighed inwardly.

His sharp eye discerned that this young man’s Hard Qi Skill was far superior to Zhou Ziyu’s.

That alone would give him an unbeatable position.

Moreover, his practice of the Tiger Swallow Dual Forms was practically divine.

Zhou Tong said:

"Ziyu, be careful in the next match. Ranking isn’t the most important thing."

Zhou Ziyu withdrew her gaze from Lu Chenzhou.

"Father, I will perform to the best of my abilities."

On the other hand.

Zhang Banshan’s lazy eyes also became a bit more serious.

He recalled Lu Chenzhou’s recent battle in his mind.

"His Qi-Blood must be over 7 by now, and he’s cultivating both inner and outer skills... tough opponent."

Zhang Banshan was very confident about winning the championship until recently.

He had just broken through level 7 in Qi-Blood and had achieved mastery of two Hua Realms.

Even facing Huo Tianyuan, he felt confident in a 60-40 split.

Now... all he could do was give it his all.

Huo Tianyuan’s face was excited, his battle intent rising as he rubbed his hands together:

"Good! Worthy of being the number one man from the Dragon City campus, exciting!"

Tiger Teeth Girl had not deceived him.

In the president’s seats.

Wanshixian’s eyes were calm like lake water.

"Cultivating both inner and outer skills, 18 years old, Tenth Rank... in the history of the Martial Arts Hall competition, those with Low Class root bone who have achieved this, were later known as Martial Bone Dao Embryos."

The emergence of Lu Chenzhou brought Wanshixian a little surprise. What the Martial Artist Association currently lacked the most were experts in cross training. The establishment of the Vajra Group also couldn’t do without his support behind the scenes. The ancient and declining Hard Qi Gong needed revolution and progress.

Humanity needs a batch of top-level experts who cultivate both inner and outer skills.

"Not bad, let the Su City branch observe more closely."

...

On the platform.

After saluting each other, Zhou Ziyu said, "I’ve heard that Brother Lu cultivates both inner and outer skills and that his Arhat Skill has achieved Great Success. Today, this young lady shall experience it for herself."

She took a deep breath, pressed her hands together like a Bodhisattva, an internal buzzing like Sword Qi resonated within her, and the protruding Jade Mountains of her chest slightly deflated as she puffed out her chest. Unlike the "Primordial Skill" that inflates the chest, "Iron Buddha" smoothens the chest like a mirror.

"Ha!"

Zhou Ziyu stepped in the Northern Dipper formation, her smooth jade-like palms extended from beneath her spacious training clothes, fingers formed like a sword, wrapped with a strong gust, aiming for Lu Chenzhou’s throat.

This was usually a weak spot even for practitioners of Hard Qi Gong.

Lu Chenzhou lifted his left elbow, and the opponent’s sword palm chopped on his arm, dispersing a bright golden shimmer. He was unmoved, his right foot stomped the ground, body twisting right, a surge of Dark Force came from his right foot, rushing into his descending left leg like a lashing tiger’s tail, unstoppable!

Zhou Ziyu dared not resist directly, retracted her hands to escape, stepping into the Seven Stars, the movement technique she used was Emei’s "Seven Stars Step," also a First Class movement technique. Once mastered, the body would always be positioned at the seven stars of the Big Dipper, ready for both attack and defense, extremely agile.

After moving to a safe distance, Zhou Ziyu looked at her right Sword Palm feeling slightly numb, while Lu Chenzhou appeared unfazed. Recalling the sensation of their physical collision, a thought arose in her heart.

"His Arhat Skill is not at Great Success... it’s at Perfection!"

Zhou Ziyu looked at Lu Chenzhou with disbelief. She couldn’t imagine how an Acquired Enlightenment with Lower Class root bone, while ensuring progress in the cultivation of Inner Boxing, could attain the extremely difficult Arhat Skill to the level of Perfection in just a few years.
