Chapter 14

"Move aside, I have no ill intentions; I just want to stop this fight!" Lu Xingyao immediately glared, but he did not dare to easily confront Lu Su, because he had privately sparred with Lu Su several times before, and each time he ended up defeated.

"Father, don't interfere, how can this waste be my opponent?" Upon hearing his father's angry shout, Lu Tiansi became extremely anxious. If the fight was stopped, he would lose the chance to teach Lu Tianyu a lesson, so he quickly shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Rebellious son, you've made me so angry, ah, be careful..." In Lu Xingyao's shocked cry, Lu Tianyu's and Lu Tiansi's fists had already collided heavily.

"Boom" With a deafening sound, Lu Tiansi was immediately sent flying like a broken kite, landing on the wall with a thud, creating a human-shaped hole, and lying on the ground outside the courtyard, his limbs twitching, and blood gushing from his mouth.

In contrast, Lu Tianyu only took five steps back and stabilized himself.

Just one punch, and the winner was decided. In this pure battle of qi, it was clear that Lu Tianyu had the upper hand.

Everyone, including Wang Cui'e, was shocked, their mouths agape, staring at the proud and standing Lu Tianyu, their eyes full of disbelief.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. My son is already a strong warrior at the late stage, how could Lu Tianyu, who is only at the early stage of a warrior, knock him flying with one punch?" Wang Cui'e, the first to recover from her shock, still doubted if she was dreaming, and quickly pinched her left arm hard.

"Ah?" The intense pain from her left arm reminded Wang Cui'e that everything was real, and she was not dreaming.

"My son!" Wang Cui'e immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream, running out of the gate and rushing to the heavily injured Lu Tiansi, lifting him up from the ground.

"Ah... Mother, I'm sorry, I... am useless." Lu Tiansi slowly opened his eyes, unable to hold back a spurt of blood, staining Wang Cui'e's chest red.

"My son, don't say more. Lu Xingyao, you useless thing, why don't you quickly come over and help my son recover his qi and heal his injuries..." Wang Cui'e, filled with grief and anger, turned to Lu Xingyao, who was still in shock, and shouted at the top of her lungs.

But before she could finish, Wang Cui'e's words were cut short because she noticed that the old master of the Lu family, Lu Bingwei, and the fourth master, Lu Xingkong, were already standing at the gate, having just arrived.

Hearing his wife's scream, Lu Xingyao immediately snapped out of his shock and rushed out of the door, almost colliding with the old master who had just arrived at the gate.

"Father, you're here!" Lu Xingyao's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head in front of Lu Bingwei.

"Useless thing, look at the wife you married." Lu Bingwei, who had also heard Wang Cui'e's scream, immediately glared at Lu Xingyao, extremely displeased.

"Father, it's my fault..." Lu Xingyao, upon hearing this, lowered his head even further.

Thinking back to his past encounter with Wang Cui'e, Lu Xingyao felt deeply regretful.

When Lu Xingyao was twenty, during an outing, he happened to encounter several bandits molesting a young and beautiful woman. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and killed the bandits.

But unexpectedly, the woman had already been drugged by the bandits with a powerful aphrodisiac. Under the influence of the drug, she confusedly had a relationship with Lu Xingyao.

Later, Lu Xingyao learned that the woman was named Wang Cui'e, the daughter of the Wang family, one of the four major families. She had secretly slipped out to play and was unfortunately encountered by bandits. If not for Lu Xingyao's timely arrival, she might have been raped and killed.

In the Divine Wasteland Continent, where chastity was highly valued, the Wang family could not afford to lose face, so they had no choice but to marry Wang Cui'e to Lu Xingyao.

At first, Lu Xingyao was quite happy, thinking that marrying the daughter of the Wang family was a blessing from his past life.

But who would have thought that after entering the Wang family, Wang Cui'e revealed her true nature. Behind her beautiful appearance was a heart full of malice, willing to do anything to achieve her goals. Whenever things did not go her way, she would immediately bring up the Wang family to bully Lu Xingyao.

Over time, Lu Xingyao got used to it, but every time he thought about the past, he felt a deep sense of regret. If he had married another woman, he might not have suffered such humiliation.

Moreover, being scolded by his wife in front of his father was a great humiliation for a man, and Lu Xingyao wished he could find a hole to hide in.

"Lu Xingyao, what are you standing there for? Quickly come over and help your son recover his qi and heal his injuries. If anything happens to your son, I will never forgive you." Seeing Lu Xingyao still standing in front of Lu Bingwei, head lowered in shame, Wang Cui'e shouted angrily again.

"What's going on?" Lu Bingwei, upon hearing this, immediately looked over and saw the heavily injured Lu Tiansi lying in Wang Cui'e's arms, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, asking for an explanation.

"Father, Tiansi and Tianyu were just sparring. By accident, Tianyu injured Tiansi heavily. I will go and help Tiansi recover." Lu Xingyao quickly explained the situation and then rushed past Lu Bingwei, knelt down in front of Wang Cui'e, placed his hands on his son's back, and began to input pure battle qi to help him recover.

"When did Tianyu become so powerful?" Lu Bingwei and Lu Xingkong were both stunned, their faces full of disbelief as they looked at Lu Tianyu in the courtyard.

"Tianyu, come here." Lu Bingwei, a man who had experienced countless storms, quickly recovered from his shock and beckoned to Lu Tianyu.

"Grandfather!" Lu Tianyu did not dare to delay and quickly came to the gate, respectfully greeting him.

Lu Bingwei's eyes scanned Lu Tianyu's body, and then his right hand shot out, grabbing Lu Tianyu's right arm, and a thread of battle qi quickly entered his body.

After probing Lu Tianyu's internal condition, Lu Bingwei was stunned, his eyes wide open, and his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

"Father, Father, what's wrong?" Lu Xingkong was also shocked, never expecting his usually calm father to be so surprised, and he quickly asked in a hurry.

"Tianyu, how many threads of spiritual energy did you absorb when you condensed your dantian?" Lu Bingwei, ignoring Lu Xingkong, stared at Lu Tianyu with excitement, asking loudly.

"Grandfather, I absorbed fifty-one threads of spiritual energy." Lu Tianyu did not dare to delay and answered truthfully.

"Ah?" Lu Bingwei and Lu Xingkong both gasped in shock.

"Fifty-one threads? Is this true?" Lu Bingwei felt more shocked today than in the past few decades.

"En." Lu Tianyu nodded again.

"Genius, an absolute genius! Not only did you absorb fifty-one threads of spiritual energy to condense your dantian, but you also possess the rare Five Elements Spirit Root. I never thought that our Lu family would produce such a once-in-a-millennium genius. If I see this in my lifetime, I can die without regrets!" Lu Bingwei roared, his expression extremely excited.

It's no wonder that the old master of the Lu family was so excited. A person with the Five Elements Spirit Root is a once-in-a-millennium find, and the fact that Lu Tianyu condensed fifty-one threads of spiritual energy into his dantian means that his future cultivation speed will be several times faster than that of ordinary people.

For most cultivators, encountering one of these conditions is already a stroke of luck, making them a genius. How much more so for someone like Lu Tianyu, who has both? He is undoubtedly an absolute genius.

In the future, Lu Tianyu's prospects are boundless. If he develops smoothly, he will eventually stand at the peak of the Divine Wasteland Continent, becoming a proud and outstanding figure.

Of course, all of this is based on a smooth path. At the moment, Lu Tianyu is just a small cultivator at the early stage of a warrior. If he encounters any unforeseen events and is ruthlessly eliminated, this absolute genius will be wasted.

"This little brat is so powerful? Not only did he condense fifty-one threads of spiritual energy, but he also has the Five Elements Spirit Root?" Hearing the old master's exclamation, Wang Cui'e's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned dark.

"In that case, he must not be allowed to live. He must be eliminated as soon as possible. If not, he will become a major threat to me, Wang Cui'e. Moreover, if he discovers the true cause of his father's death, the Wang family might also suffer great calamity." Wang Cui'e's eyes flashed with malice, staring at Lu Tianyu, and her resolve to kill him became even stronger.

"Father, since Tianyu is a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius, how should we handle this?" Lu Xingkong, recovering from his shock, immediately asked his father with excitement.

"Are you talking nonsense? Since our Lu family has produced such a person, I will not let anyone harm him in the slightest." Lu Bingwei glared, speaking with determination.

"But Father, how do we explain this to the third sister-in-law?" Lu Xingkong's face turned grim as he asked.

"Hmph, although she is the daughter of the Wang family, now that she has married into our Lu family, she is one of us. Do you think I, the old master of the Lu family, need to consider her feelings to protect a junior?" Lu Bingwei's face turned cold, and he glanced at Wang Cui'e, who was not far away.

"Father, don't forget, the Wang family is one of the four major families on the continent..." Lu Xingkong sighed inwardly and reminded him.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten. But you must understand that if we protect Tianyu well and give him some time, his future is boundless. Our Lu family, with such a genius, might even become the fifth major family on the continent. As for Wang Cui'e, now that she has married into the Lu family, she should not be so malicious as to disregard our family's safety. For a small matter like this, she won't risk a falling out with us and escalate the issue to the Wang family. If she does, it will be to her own detriment." Lu Bingwei immediately explained slowly.
