Midnight Lotus

While Li Chen and Pig Yun walked away, several disciples stared at him in the same light as they would a formidable beast.

He seemed harmless; his dreadful aura, which had frightened everyone on the battlegrounds, was mysteriously replaced by a calm, unseemly one.

"I don't think senior Lu Buping was that strong at Li Chen's current level."

"That's a lie!"

"What are you talking about? Could senior Lu go against an elder?!"

Another butted in, "Look at what a single strike did to the battleground. I'm afraid another monster has been born in our sect."

"But how did he suddenly get this strong? Perhaps a fortuitous encounter?"

"Li Chen could be on par with those three monstrous talents wrecking havoc in the inner court." 

"What rubbish." The pretty girl always found around Lu Buping scoffed.
