Chapter 9

No matter which version of the ranking of the Three Kingdoms warriors, Lü Bu, also known as Lü Fengxian, is undoubtedly the first! It's not easy to draw a warrior who can defeat him! In the *Water Margin*, it's probably impossible to find someone who can defeat him! Therefore, Li You set his sights on novels with more exaggerated martial prowess, such as *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties* and *The Story of Yue Fei*, "Heaven help me, give me Gao Pang or Lu Wenglong! Or even Yuwen Chengdu or Pei Yuanqing would do!"

Although the martial prowess of people like Wanyan Jindan is very high, Li You never thought of using them to defeat Lü Bu. It always feels awkward to use barbarians to defeat a legendary Han figure.

The slot machine stopped spinning, and a warrior was drawn. The system's voice sounded again, "The summoned warrior has arrived outside the tent and is ready to engage in battle!"

Oh? Let me see who it is. When Li You saw the name of the warrior, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha! With this one, what does Lü Bu count for!"

On the panel, the name Li Yuanba was clearly written! In the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade weighed 82 catties, and Lü Bu's Heaven-Painted Halberd probably weighed no more than a hundred catties. However, Li Yuanba's twin hammers weighed a staggering 800 catties each. Just in terms of strength, Li Yuanba was far ahead of Lü Bu! His steed, Wanliyun, was also no less formidable than the Red Hare; with such a powerful fighter, what was there to fear from Lü Bu!

"Whose child is this? Why is he outside the lord's tent?" Pan Feng's voice came from outside while Li You was in a daze!

A child? Yes, Li Yuanba is quite young! Damn, his temper isn't good; he might tear Pan Feng apart at the slightest provocation! I'm counting on this peerless general to lead my troops! Without further thought, Li You hurried out of the tent.

He saw a child with a sharp face and a monkey-like appearance, wearing a black gold crown, looking like a sick ghost, and as thin as a rail, carefully examining the broad-shouldered and bear-like Pan Feng, as if trying to figure out how to attack.

"Yuanba, stop!" Li You quickly intervened; if he didn't speak up, Pan Feng would be torn in half! He quickly walked between the two and bowed to Li Yuanba, "This must be General Yuanba, right? Indeed... you look quite extraordinary."

The child lifted his head and sized up Li You, not bowing, but with his hands behind his back, he pointed at Pan Feng with his chin, "You called me here to deal with this kid?"

Li You was instantly speechless. They say this kid has a problem! It seems to be true! He wants to fight as soon as he arrives, a real brute!

Pan Feng also felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Li Yuanba, thinking, "Whose kid is this, why is he always looking at my vital spots!"

"Yuanba, calm down!" I'm a bachelor, I don't know how to deal with kids, Li You thought. If he hesitated any longer, Pan Feng would be in trouble, so he steeled himself and said, "Yuanba, you must be hungry after just arriving! Let's eat first!"

Li Yuanba patted his stomach, "I am hungry! Bring me some good wine and meat quickly!" He then walked straight into the tent, adding, "My hammers are outside! Don't let anyone steal them! And prepare some good fodder for my Wanliyun!"

"No problem, your hammers..." Li You saw Li Yuanba's Drum Beating Gold Hammers lying on the side and was speechless. These things are iron balls as tall as a person; who could even think of stealing them!

Pan Feng also noticed the hammers and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord, these aren't wooden hammers, are they? If they're iron, who could use them?" He tried to lift one with one hand, but it didn't budge at all!

Pan Feng's face turned red. He was a famous general under Han Fu, yet he couldn't even lift a child's weapon! He tried again with both hands, standing in a wide stance, took a deep breath, and used all his strength to lift the hammer, but it still didn't move!

Then the hammer still didn't budge! If you could lift it, you wouldn't have been beheaded by Hua Xiong! Li You patted his shoulder to comfort him, "This kid is extraordinary, General Pan, you don't need to compare yourself to him!"

He left the stunned Pan Feng aside and called the servants to prepare food and drink for Li Yuanba and fodder for his steed Wanliyun! As he was about to return to the tent, Pan Feng finally came to his senses and said, somewhat unwillingly, "Battle is not just about strength!"

"If you're not convinced, wait until I'm full and we'll have a few rounds!" Li Yuanba's voice came from the tent.

Tsk, why are you so reckless! Li You glared at Pan Feng and quickly entered the tent to calm Li Yuanba, "Yuanba, these are our brothers, no need for a fight, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll just knock his weapon away, I won't hurt him!" Li Yuanba glanced at Pan Feng, and Li You finally felt relieved.

After a hearty meal, Li Yuanba leisurely walked out of the tent and looked up at Pan Feng, "Black giant! Let's have a few rounds to loosen up our muscles?"

Li You couldn't stop this kid, but since he had already promised not to hurt Pan Feng, he took Guan Sheng and followed them to the training ground. As they left, Pan Feng saw Li Yuanba easily lift his hammers, and his eyes almost fell out of his head! His hands holding the battle-axe couldn't help but tremble!

At the training ground, neither of them rode horses. They stood on opposite sides, and Li Yuanba stood lazily, pointing at Pan Feng with his hammer, "Black giant, make your move!"

"You're young, you go first!" Pan Feng nervously watched Li Yuanba's hammers.

"If I make a move, you won't be around!" Li Yuanba disdainfully glanced at Pan Feng's battle-axe.

"Then I won't hold back!" Pan Feng gritted his teeth, raised his battle-axe high with both hands, and charged forward. When he was about ten feet away from Li Yuanba, he swung the axe with all his might, aiming for Li Yuanba's head.

But Li Yuanba seemed to ignore the axe coming at him, still standing lazily. Just as the axe was about to hit his black gold crown, he casually waved his right hand, and his hammer struck Pan Feng's axe from below.

A loud thud echoed, and Pan Feng's axe flew out of his hands, soaring high into the air and landing far away with a thud!

"Ah, no fun! Your axe skills are far inferior to Old Cheng's!" Li Yuanba still looked lazy.

Truly the first warrior of the Sui and Tang Dynasties! Lü Bu, get ready to be hammered!
