Mock battle

Most of the disciples had playful looks on their faces as Lu Fen was ranked fourth in the outer disciples.

At this moment, even Lu Jialin, who was ranked first, Lu Yijian and Lu Yu Yin, who were equally ranked third, looked over.

Lu Yijian had a weird expression on his face. He knew Lu Fen's strength quite well. Similarly, he also knew that Lu Zhou was stronger than him. Lu Xue, who was next to him sighed, but after remembering how Lu Zhou had acted in the Medicine Pavilion, her expression was replaced by coldness.

On the other side, Lu Yu Yin had an interesting look. Lu Zhou's feat at the archery field had made her shocked.

Now, because of Lu Fen. Lu Zhou has become one of the main focuses in the field.

" Kid, today you are going to get humiliated in front of the crowd." Lu Peng's lips curled into a smile.

Lu Fen walked step by step, and every step he took caused the atmosphere to tense up. His gazes gave off faint smile as he sized up Lu Zhou.

" Yes?"

Lu Zhou neither retreated nor gave away. Instead, he faced off Lu Fen. This sight caused many other disciples to be amazed.

" When did Lu Zhou break through to the third rank?" Lu Peng was confused by the change on Lu Zhou's. As he realized, so do everyone.

Even Lu Xue who was standing next to Lu Yijian was shocked.

Seeing the questioning expression of Lu Xue, Lu Yijian coldly said " Hmmph! Just a useless piece of trash using outside help to breakthrough. These people are especially vulnerable."

"Maybe." Lu Xue answered.

Of course, after what happened yesterday, he would never tell anyone about it. As he saw the same expression on Lu Zhou when he's make a move, Lu Yijian trembled.

' I should kill him ' Squinting his eyes, Lu Yijian looks at the scene carefully.

" Lu Zhou, you are stronger than I imagined. No wonder you could beat up my brother." Lu Fen praised Lu Zhou as he stopped five meters away from him.

" Is that so..." Lu Zhou's face was changed to when he was confident, in other words; doesn't care about facial expression.

" Hmmph!" Lu Fen ignored it, as he continued, " Although my brother is a useless piece of trash...He is still my brother." Lu Peng's face turned ugly as Lu Fen spoke. This brother of his never gave any face to anyone.

" You are stronger than me and have just reached the third rank. So I won't bully you. If you can live past my first ten moves then I will let this off the hook."

" Wait" Lu Zhou stopped Lu Fen's mood as he asked.

" Hahaha! He's afraid! Why don't you kill yourself, isn't that the reason why you bought the Blood Clearing Grass."

The disciples laugh about Lu Zhou's remark as they were expecting the battle.

Lu Fen glanced at the disciples. Snorted and said," Zip your mouth"

After this said, the disciples who have spoken to humiliate Lu Zhou trembling, about to cry.

Lu Fen then looked at the dazed Lu Zhou and instinctively felt fear.

As martial artist cultivations grew stronger, their survival instinct would grow along.

Lu Jialin, Lu Yu Yin, and Lu Yang were curious.

Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said." There's no rule of house safety. In that sense, my home was destroyed from within. How about betting a hundred gold instead of showing off your pride below the ground."

There was silence as the cold voice stopped.

After a while, Lu Fen asked." Is the side branch good at bargaining with excuses of justice? If you continue your nonsense, don't blame me for your misfortune..."

" You dare or not?" This time, Lu Zhou's facial turned into a cold and cruel expression.

" Sure." Lu Fen was a bit surprised by his answer. As he looked at Lu Zhou, the cruel face he makes was replaced by the dazed look.

What happened...

" Brother..." Lu Peng tried to ask Lu Fen but stooped as he received the cold face he usually got from Lu Fen.

Meanwhile, Lu Jialin was amused by the events. Lu Zhou was stronger as he had imagined.

" Good " Lu Zhou said as the two-faced off on the martial arts field.

Lu Fen's aura suddenly became cold and his four limbs started to bend, like a poisonous spider.

Ten Formation of the Fanged Spider!

Some of the disciples knew the history of the move. Being Lu Fen's opponent, Lu Zhou not making any stance. While both brothers had learned the Ten Formation of the Fanged Spider, Lu Fen should give him great pressure. But instead of feeling any danger, he looks at the charging Lu Fens with amusement.

" Second formation of the Fanged Spider!"

Lu Fen, like a spider, struck towards Lu Zhou's head.

The opponent's speed and power were double that of Lu Peng's. As he could see the route of Lu Fen's attack, Lu Zhou put up a fist to block.

Pah!

Easily grabbing off Lu Fen with a small movement, Lu Zhou twisted the hand on his arm.

Crack!

" Ahhhh!!!...." The bloodcurdling scream that came out from Lu Fen's mouth sends a chill down everyone's spine.

" This is not over!" Lu Fen changed his body posture to that of a slippery spider as he used explosive speed on his kick towards Lu Zhou.

Swoosh!

Before the kick arrived, Lu Zhou threw off Lu Fen.

" At least you're worthy of being the fourth-best " He had a feeling that his opponent wasn't a person, but a deadly, cunning wolf instead.

Ha...ha...ha...

Lu Fen had a solemn look on his face as he saw his right arm were useless. In that sort of amount of time, Lu Zhou had caught him and makes him vulnerable.

" I wonder how far I can go without using spirit energy..." Lu Zhou was very calm. Once he used spirit energy, his body and vision performance would be increased dramatically...

This sounds very stupid, but that guy just gets my mood to worsen.

The thoughts of his home were ravaged, make Lu Zhou want to destroy their pride in the path they believe in.

Of course, without using spirit energy, Lu Zhou's reaction speed had already surpassed martial apprentices of the same rank.

Boom!

Cloud of dust scattered throughout the field as Lu Fen charge toward Lu Zhou.

Pah! Pah!....

The two shadows fought together on the field. The speed they fought at was extremely fast.

" Lu Zhou's strength is stronger than I imagined."

" It has already been seven moves." A few of the disciples felt that it was unbelievable.

" His improvement is so insanely fast."

Lu Xue's breathing started to increase.

Not far away, Lu Peng kept wiping the sweat off his forehead. He thought that with his brother's strength, he would only need three moves to take Lu Zhou down, but the latter had unexpectedly improved so much. He even broke Lu Fen's hand!

Soon it was the ninth move!

Just as Lu Zhou started to grab the underlying behind the Inner Strength, Lu Fen's yelled.

" Fifth Formation of the Fanged Spider!"

Lu Fen's movements became like the sea. It churned, jumped, and wrapped around Lu Zhou. As the fifth formation began, Lu Fen's damage increased dramatically.

Although his right hand was useless to the point of no return, his feat was a great threat.

Lu Peng had only learned the first three formations of Ten Formation of the Fanged Spider.

Lu Fen, however, had learned the first seven formations! Every formation after was harder to learn but the damage would likewise be increased dramatically. Lu Zhou felt as if his opponent had no bones and that he was coming closer and closer...

Grab!

Lu Zhou, used rough measures to grabbed the hand that almost reaches his throat.

Lu Zhou, in terms of speed, was always faster than Lu Fen.

" Time to end this..."

Crack!

Another scream rang out, and this time after the two shadows split apart, the disciples who were watching held their breath.

" You have won." Lu Fen deeply looked at Lu Zhou and seemed to hold back his pain. He then turned around and left, leaving a crowd of shocked disciples behind.

" I send the money later ". He then stopped for a while to said a word and continues his paces.

As he sends Lu Fen aways with his gaze, Lu Zhou analyzes his strength after this fight. As he did not use spirit energy, he gauges the power he needs to defeat a stronger enemy than he would be possible if he had a stronger body.

When he restrained himself, he was on the par with Lu Fen. Lu Zhou could not confirm if Lu Fen had left some hidden moves either as the two of them had only exchange nine blows.

" When did he get so strong...?" A few of those who were familiar with Lu Zhou now stared at him with their eyes open. Lu Peng was even more exaggerated, he opened his mouth like a wooden chicken.

" Big brother, if you cannot beat him in then moves we can beat him together!" Lu Peng said as he caught up to Lu Fen.

" You better give up. Even if there were no restrictions I cannot beat him either. His speed and strength are too strong for me." Lu Fen shook his head.

" How is this possible!" Lu Peng knew that his brother did not lie. It wasn't his attitude.

" And don't act without my consent...If you do that again, just beg at your mother's grave " Lu Fen coldly said as he glanced at the trembling Lu Peng.

" He won..." Lu Xue's body turned rigid as she looked complexly at the youth not far away. That youth seemed especially handsome, tall, then it was ever was at this point.....

Lu Yijian snorted," This kid stronger than him " Lu Yijian had a cold expression on his face, "But he only fought against Lu Fen for ten moves...while Lu Fen has already lost to me long ago!" Lu Xue let out a breath as she heard Lu Yijian's words.

She did not understand why she was so afraid of Lu Zhou becoming stronger. The stronger he became, the more she felt conflicted.

At the periphery of the fields, Lu Chen, the outer sect disciples, and the servant of Lu Fen looked at the back of Lu Fen and gazes at the indifferent Lu Zhou.

He's feeling complicated as he had the intention of killing Lu Zhou, that's why he gladly takes the order from Lu Peng for destroying Lu Zhou's house.

As he knows this would not end well, he grips his hand and gave Lu Zhou killing intent, and walk away. Joining with the duo.
