"A true-type Void Beast—" Lu Ren sighed. True-type Void Beasts were extremely rare.
Moreover, unranked skills are extremely rare. The absence of a rank means that the skill has no lower limit and no upper limit, and its effectiveness depends entirely on the user.
True-type Void Beasts are already rare, and those without graded skills are even rarer.
The young lady possesses an unranked inspiration-type skill, Restoring Holy Light, which can repair damaged items and she uses it as a healing skill.
She said that skill cost nearly 100 million yuan to acquire.
Are we practicing again tonight?
"Practice it. By the way, Master, I'm going to Yanzhou with the young lady and the others the day after tomorrow. We'll be there for about a week."
"Yanzhou? Let's go."
"I heard that the Fire Basin Realm in Yanzhou is a Silver-level Void Realm. Do you think we might be in danger?"
"It's just a Silver-level Void Realm. If you few encounter a Silver-level Void Beast, you can run away even if you can't defeat it."
"What if we encounter those powerful true-seed virtual beasts?"
The white-haired girl rolled her eyes at him. "A professional can't be afraid of death. Don't be timid."
"—Master, you were eavesdropping on my conversation with others."
"Within this Shen clan territory, who can't I hear?"
"You can hear Shen Yanqing speaking?"
"I can hear you."
"You're bragging. Old Master Shen is a Burning Sun Realm cultivator. You can still hear him? Are you also at the Burning Sun Realm?"
She crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and looked at him with a beaming smile.
Lu Ren felt a little sweat on his forehead. Even though he had been vaguely guessing about it for some time, he still felt a bit dizzy at this moment.
In the entire Great Yu Dynasty, there are no more than 10 living Burning Sun Realm cultivators.
"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to practice or not? If you don't, your master is leaving."
"Practice, practice, practice—"
Lu Ren was still unsure about his duel with Chen Zui tomorrow, and tonight he was going to fight his master until dawn!
He picked up his sword and stood opposite the white-haired girl; their swords gently clashed.
Then, the bamboo sword magnified infinitely in his eyes and swept across. The next day, in the training hall...
As the bamboo sword swept across, Lu Ren stepped back, then pressed down with his sword-wielding hand, moving slightly forward.
"Crack-"
Wrong? How can it be so easy?
Lu Ren was also stunned. Facing Chen Zui's sword, he almost instinctively defended and launched a probing attack, which he parried.
Chen Zui glanced at his sword, showing neither surprise nor anger. He remained expressionless, said "Let's do it again," and then drew his sword forward once more. Lu Ren quickly engaged him in battle.
"Go, Brother Lu Ren!"
"Big brother is amazing!"
"We must defeat him!"
On the sidelines, those kids were cheering him on.
Besides them, Shen Yaoxing, Ji Liguang and the others also arrived, as did Grandpa Wang Fa, Wang Liuxing, and Old Tang.
In addition, six elders of the Shen clan were sitting on the sidelines. Three of them were very old and were all men, while the other three had gray hair but were handsome, two men and one woman.
One of them was the handsome white-haired man that Lu Ren had met some time ago. The only woman was dressed in a red palace gown and looked to be in her early twenties, but she was not his master. The supporting master did not come.
The woman in palace attire picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "Is this the young man Xiao Yaoxing mentioned, whose talent is no less than Long You's?"
"He's not wearing a spirit-locking ring, but his physique seems a bit low. Is he a warrior?"
"I heard it's a special profession, taking a balanced attribute approach, with all nine attributes being primary attributes. The initial primary attribute is 27, and the upgrade multiplier is as high as 6.49."
"That's quite novel, something I've never heard of before, but—being a jack-of-all-trades doesn't mean being an expert in everything."
The national league next June concerns the ownership of the eighth professional academy, and Shen Yaoxing cannot afford to act recklessly.
They all came today to observe whether the young man Shen Yaoxing had chosen truly possessed the ability, or whether Shen Yaoxing was simply being foolish again. After all, in the eyes of these clan elders, this girl's foolishness was nothing new.
As for the other two, one can create gold-grade alchemical artifacts once he enters the Candle Illumination Realm, and the other has higher attributes than most people in the Fire Refining Realm during the bottleneck period of the Candle Illumination Realm — this girl is like that, she may be silly, but she always manages to pick up some monsters from time to time.
"Isn't this Shen Zui? Old Song, isn't this your grandson?"
"Yes, but he awakened his mother's profession, the swordsman of the Chen family of Shushan. He returned to the Chen family two years ago."
The handsome white-haired man sitting in the middle interrupted the old men's chatter, "Alright, didn't you say you didn't trust Yaoxing's judgment? Now what do you think?"
'
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances and shook their heads.
It's not that it's impossible, but judging from their current performance, they have no objections.
When Lu Ren noticed that so many people had come, including seven or eight elders of the Shen clan, he thought his master would also be there. However, he was initially a little disappointed that his master was not present. But he quickly understood what his master meant.
What's so interesting about Chen Zui, the cricket?
Now, it would be a piece of cake for Lu Ren to defeat him.
So that's how it is. After a month of instruction from my master, I've become ridiculously strong!
The opponent was wearing a spirit-locking ring and his physique was only 40, while his own was close to 60. However, Lu Ren felt that even if the two had the same attributes, he might not lose!
The intensity of the battle between the two sides was not even comparable to the intensity of the battle with his master. It's a pity that he was preoccupied yesterday and practiced with his master until 10 p.m. He originally wanted to pester his master to practice all night, but he was kicked out.
"Chen Zui, is this all you've given it your all?"
"You rushed in too aggressively; you need to save some energy for a change of tactics."
"The center of gravity is too unstable, and the lower body feels like it's walking on cotton."
"Your gaze is so direct, I have to be alert to any movement of my shoulder."
The kids on the sidelines were even more excited than him, cheering him on one by one. Among them, Xiao Jue'er shouted the loudest, "Big brother, keep going!"
Even Lu Youhe was somewhat surprised, "My brother is actually—this amazing now?"
Two weeks ago, he was being beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back, but now he can fight back and forth with Chen Zui, and even gain the upper hand and exert his dominance.
Old Tang nodded in agreement, saying, "My Swamp Monster is at the strong Silver level, with a physique of over a thousand. Yesterday's battle naturally didn't show the results of his training during this period. Lu Ren, on the other hand, has been undergoing very rigorous training."
"I know he works very hard, but I didn't expect him to improve so quickly. Sister Ali, why do you look so pale?"
'
Shen Yaoxing glanced at it and said, "You must be feeling discouraged. We're both body cultivators, so it's normal to feel discouraged when you see others progressing so quickly."
"Well, I'm not a warrior, so why would I need such advanced swordsmanship? I'm just a shield warrior; I can take the damage and cover you guys."
"But, but, he looks so handsome————" Jiang Yueying looked at the two people in the field, clenched her fists, and her eyes were sparkling.
Lu Ren's final thrust landed at an odd angle, stopping just centimeters from Chen Zui's neck.
"So, Xiao Chen, are you convinced yet?"
Chen Zui remained expressionless throughout, and upon seeing this, he simply said, "Hmm, you've passed the physical cultivation assessment."
Lu Ren was somewhat disappointed not to see Chen Zui's furious expression.
However, this guy might not actually be targeting him; he's just the type who doesn't hold back when doing things and easily offends people. Lu Ren knows that there are young people like this in the workplace from time to time.
He felt a little embarrassed, realizing that taking things too seriously made him seem disgusting.
"However, since all the elders are present, I would like to challenge you next."
"?"
As Chen Zui spoke, he removed the Soul-Locking Ring from his wrist and said calmly, "Originally, I was going to team up with Yaoxing as a warrior, just like Ali, to participate in next year's joint examination. Although you passed the test, I still don't think you have the ability to protect Yaoxing. So next, I want to challenge you, Lu Ren."
Upon hearing this, not only Lu Ren, but everyone in the audience was also taken aback.
"You want to challenge me?"
He seemed to understand. For the national league in June of the following year, the Shen family had arranged two helpers for Shen Yaoxing: one was Ji Liguang, and the other was Chen Zui, who was standing in front of him.
A warrior, a shield warrior.
However, Shen Yaoxing overruled everyone's objections and allowed Lu Ren to take the place that originally belonged to Chen Zui.
So even though he was exceptionally talented, he was given a month-long assessment to test his abilities beyond talent, such as perseverance, adaptability, and learning ability.
No wonder this person seemed to harbor some resentment towards me; it turns out it wasn't because he had a crush on his cousin—no, that possibility still hasn't been ruled out.
But now, after a month of intensive training, I have passed the assessment. Under what pretext is this person challenging me?
"That's right, I want to fight you fair and square. If I defeat you, I will become Yaoxing's servant and enroll Yaoxing in Linjiang Vocational School, and we will participate in the national vocational school entrance examination together a year later."
Lu Ren laughed. Why was this guy talking so presumptuously? "Why should I agree to your request?"
Chen Zui slowly shook his head and said, "Whether you agree or not is your business. You can refuse me, but challenging you is my business."
"I refuse."
"it is good."
Hearing Lu Ren's decisive refusal, Chen Zui remained unmoved, simply sheathing his sword and preparing to walk off the field, as if challenging Lu Ren was merely a formality.
Perhaps, as he said, he couldn't just remain silent after his spot was taken by someone else, but once he expressed his opinion, he didn't care whether it would have any effect or not.
On the sidelines, a gaunt-looking old man chuckled, "Sixth Uncle, your grandson's temperament is exactly the same as yours when you were young."
The middle-aged man with white hair said, "Where are you the same as me?"
The only woman among the six elders also said, "Clearly dissatisfied, yet pretending to be nonchalant, aren't we just like you?"
The old man with dry skin looked at Lu Ren and said, "Hey, you're called Xiao Lu, right? Your rejection was too straightforward. This old man is starting to look down on you."
Lu Ren was ashamed and could only force a smile, not daring to utter a single word.
