Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s
Chapter 968 - 966, Challenge

Chapter 968: 966, Challenge

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo returned to the Disciple Court after parting ways with Ye Lifeng.

"Stop right there!" Just as they entered the Disciple Court, three disciples blocked their path.

The surrounding disciples, seeing this, quickly gathered around, all eagerly waiting to watch the drama unfold. Currently, it wasn’t just these three senior brothers who harbored grievances against Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo; others similarly found them displeasing.

They were newcomers, yet they enjoyed special treatment that others had never received. Moreover, due to their entry into the secret realm for cultivation, they had caused an imbalance in the Sect’s Immortal Spirit Energy, seriously impacting others’ ability to cultivate for the past two months.

What infuriated them the most was that the two were granted slots in the selection contest without having to compete in any match.

"Why are you blocking our way?" Lu Hanmo asked the three who stopped them. He and Shushu were mentally prepared and had anticipated facing the wrath of these disciples.

"We want to challenge you!" said a tall, thin youth. He was He Linping, ranked first among the core disciples of the Liangyi Sect, possessing immense prestige among the disciples. Even he had never received the kind of special treatment that Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo had.

Before meeting Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, he thought that since the Sect Leader valued them so highly, they must possess some extraordinary qualities. But now, upon meeting them, he felt they were merely mediocre. Their Cultivation was far inferior to his, and he wondered how they had managed to cause such a commotion.

"What if we refuse your challenge?" Luo Shu asked with raised eyebrows.

"You must accept the challenge, or we won’t let you leave," said He Linping. He was determined to challenge the two today, intending to show the Sect Leader who truly was number one among the Liangyi Sect disciples.

"In that case, I shall humbly accept your guidance," Lu Hanmo bowed and said.

He Linping smiled slightly and looked at the surrounding disciples, "Everyone, make some space. I wish to learn a few moves from this new junior brother."

The disciples backed away, quickly clearing a large area around Lu Hanmo and He Linping.

Luo Shu smiled faintly at Lu Hanmo and also stepped a few paces back. This match would not last long.

"Who do you think will win this match?"

"Nonsense, it’s obviously our Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother’s Cultivation is at the Mid-Late Stage of Absolute Immortal, while this newcomer is merely at the Primary Stage of Absolute Immortal. The difference between them is more than a little."

"Right, the outcome is obvious." They were quite familiar with He Linping’s Strength.

Hearing the disciples’ discussions, He Linping felt even more proud, "Let’s begin then!" How could he consider someone so much weaker than himself as a worthy opponent?

Lu Hanmo raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, but he did not launch the first attack.

Seeing that Lu Hanmo did not attack, He Linping frowned. Originally, he had planned to wait for Lu Hanmo to attack and then counter with a palm strike to send him flying, humiliating him in front of everyone. Now that Lu Hanmo wasn’t attacking, he had to change his plan. Could it be possible that they just waste time standing here?

With this thought, he no longer cared about maintaining the demeanor of a senior brother and stepped forward, launching an attack on Lu Hanmo.

Lu Hanmo raised his hand to meet He Linping’s attack.

The surrounding disciples immediately became excited, watching Lu Hanmo and He Linping with anticipation and excitement, hoping to see the scene of Lu Hanmo being sent flying.

A figure flew out.

All eyes turned to follow, and everyone’s jaws dropped in shock. How could this be possible? How could the first senior brother be the one sent flying?

He Linping lay on the ground, completely dumbfounded. He hadn’t even had time to react before he felt a force smack him away. Lu Hanmo’s strength was clearly several levels lower than his own, how could he possibly send him flying? It must be because he had underestimated his opponent.

Thinking this, He Linping quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards Lu Hanmo.

The disciples, seeing He Linping charging towards Lu Hanmo with great momentum, got excited once again.

"The first senior brother is angry; it looks like the newcomer is in for a rough time."

"That was just a fluke, how could the first senior brother possibly lose?"

"This time, the first senior brother will definitely send the newcomer flying, making him crash and eat dirt."

This time, He Linping did not hold back and released his full aura, pressing down on Lu Hanmo. His first move was to try and overwhelm him with his presence. To his surprise, however, Lu Hanmo seemed utterly unaffected by his aura.

"Ah!" He Linping charged at Lu Hanmo in anger. Lu Hanmo had made him lose face in front of the disciples, and he needed to teach him a lesson.

This time Lu Hanmo didn’t wait for He Linping to charge; he simply raised his hand and sent him flying again. By now, he had understood the true extent of his strength – below the level of Senior Immortal, he likely had no rivals. Though He Linping’s level was several ranks higher than his own, it had taken him little effort to send him flying. Indeed, widening his meridians had solidified his cultivation.

"You’ve been hiding your cultivation, haven’t you?" He Linping climbed up from the ground and pointed angrily at Lu Hanmo. He must have been concealing his cultivation because otherwise, it was impossible for someone with a lower cultivation to defeat him.

"Are you continuing?" Lu Hanmo asked. He didn’t answer He Linping’s accusation; some things were better kept to himself, no need for extensive explanations.

"Are you hiding your cultivation or not?" He Linping asked persistently. Being sent flying twice in a row, how could he just accept it?

"Elder brother, if you want to continue, then continue; if not, let’s end it now," Luo Shu walked up to stand beside Lu Hanmo, facing He Linping who wore a look of unwillingness.

"If he hasn’t hidden his cultivation, I would accept my loss wholeheartedly. But if he deliberately concealed it, I wouldn’t be convinced," He Linping stubbornly stared at Lu Hanmo, hoping for an answer.

"No," Lu Hanmo responded indifferently. He didn’t want to waste time on this matter.

"I don’t believe it," He Linping expressed his disbelief. He was convinced that Lu Hanmo had hidden his true strength.

Lu Hanmo no longer paid him any attention, and took Luo Shu’s hand, walking in the direction of their room.

The disciples stepped aside to clear a path, allowing Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu to pass through. Whether or not Lu Hanmo had concealed his cultivation, one thing was undeniable: he was a formidable fighter, stronger than a Mid-Late Stage Absolute Immortal!

"Wait a moment!" He Linping wanted to follow them.

Two young men who had previously helped block Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stepped forward and held him back.

"First senior brother, don’t pursue, he’s out of your league."

"It’s a good thing the new junior brother is strong. At least, in the selection competition, our ranking will advance a bit." Although every sect claims to have twenty spots, in reality, few manage to make it into the top thousand for the Middle Plane.
