Chapter 95

"Is there anyone among the ten of you who wants to forfeit?" the middle-aged man in the brocade robe asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to forfeit!" A large man suddenly stood up and shouted, completely ignoring the gazes of others, scratching his ear while loudly yelling, showing no discomfort at all.

At this moment, two more people stood up from the crowd, seemingly twins, both with exceptionally delicate features. They nodded and said, "We brothers also want to forfeit!"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said to the remaining seven people, "Is there anyone else who wants to forfeit? Su Hanshan, do you need to forfeit?"

Su Hanshan's cold and fierce eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he shook his head faintly, saying, "I want to give it a try!"

"Good! Then I announce that the challenge begins. Who will step up first?" the middle-aged man nodded and said.

"I'll go first!" Lu Shaoyou walked onto the arena with a calm expression, "Who will challenge me?"

Among the six people, only Liu Hongye remained calm, her beautiful eyes flashing with a faint curiosity, seemingly very interested in Lu Shaoyou's strength.

"I'll be the first to challenge!" Su Hanshan said coldly, his face stern.

Lu Shaoyou glanced at him, then scanned the remaining five people, and shook his head, "You're not good enough! You should all come together!" Xiao Shuishui, with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Shaoyou, trying to gauge his strength, but unfortunately, every time his divine sense approached Lu Shaoyou, it was repelled by a powerful force.

Su Hanshan tightly pursed his lips. Normally, he would have killed the person who spoke, but he knew he couldn't. The other party was much stronger than him, so he could only remain silent. Ye Ku still had a look of suffering on his face, but this suffering and sorrow were even more intense than before. His entire body exuded a very strong aura, but his eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit, making him seem somewhat out of place. As for Li Yuchen, she was even more eager to challenge, her beautiful eyes flashing with a surging fighting spirit. She had been不服气 (unconvinced) since losing to him during the test.

On the side, Huang Lei gritted his teeth and decided to hold back, waiting to deliver the final blow. He was under the order of the Heavenly Pool Saint Son and could not let the Saint Son down!

"Why don't you all come together? Sister Hongye, would you like to join as well?" Lu Shaoyou had long noticed Huang Lei's sinister intentions but didn't know how he would try to eliminate him. However, Lu Shaoyou wasn't concerned; at this level of strength, he no longer cared much about these core disciples.

Liu Hongye smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Shaoyou, and she shook her head, "I'll pass."

Lu Shaoyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. If Liu Hongye had really stepped up, he would have been in a bind. Since she didn't, he could accept it. The other disciples were no match for him.

Looking at the few people on the stage, Lu Shaoyou felt a surge of valor, "Come at me all together!" As soon as he said this, a sense of historical沧桑 (沧桑 means "沧桑" or "vicissitudes") and ancient vastness rose from his body, a powerful and majestic aura like a tidal wave. This immediately caused a roar of excitement from the audience, not out of disdain, but out of disbelief and excitement. Since entering the Yanwu Clan, Lu Shaoyou had been creating miracles. The bloodline of these disciples was instantly stirred, it was too exciting! Too brutal! Too arrogant!

Su Hanshan gritted his teeth, "Sister Li Yuchen, Brother Ye Ku, why don't we team up? I know I'm not a match for Lu Shaoyou. I've never figured out his true strength. I hope everyone can lend me a hand so I can understand the gap between us!" He turned his sharp eyes to Huang Lei, "That one over there, Brother Huang Lei, would you like to join us?"

Huang Lei was overjoyed. He had long wanted to do this. He knew how strong Lu Shaoyou was, but he didn't know how strong Lu Shaoyou was. Now, someone was finally willing to team up to challenge Lu Shaoyou, and he naturally agreed.

Li Yuchen and Ye Ku exchanged glances and nodded silently. They both knew Lu Shaoyou's strength and wouldn't miss this opportunity to test him. On the side, Xiao Shuishui was also secretly alarmed. Lu Shaoyou's strength seemed extremely formidable. His divine sense either got repelled or felt like it was entering a bottomless pit, blocked by a vast aura. This made him take Lu Shaoyou seriously. He was a shrewd person, having lived for so long and always dominating the Silver List. How could he be a fool? He didn't want to fail twice, so he also nodded in agreement.

"Good! Now, Li Yuchen, Su Hanshan, Ye Ku, Xiao Shuishui, and Huang Lei will challenge Lu Shaoyou together. Please prepare, and all irrelevant personnel must quickly leave the arena!" the middle-aged man shouted, then leaped back, "The free-for-all begins!"

Lu Shaoyou took the initiative, stepping forward with the Eight Steps to Heaven. He knew that in any battle, one must give it their all. Even an eagle hunting a rabbit needs to use its full strength. Lu Shaoyou understood that in every match, momentum was crucial, which was why he needed to take the initiative. The divine pig had once mentioned to him that in the Middle Ancient Sword Sect, there was an unparalleled sword immortal named Li Taibai, whose strength was unmatched. It was said that with his Green Lotus Sword Song, he was invincible in the world, the greatest sword cultivator of the Middle Ancient era. With a sword in hand, the world was his. Li Taibai relied on his overwhelming momentum to be invincible at his level. A later sword cultivator master once commented on Li Taibai, "Li Taibai excels in his momentum!"

At this moment, Lu Shaoyou gave off a similar feeling. It seemed as if he had become the center of the universe, as if the sun and moon revolved around him, the earth existed for him, and all things flourished for him. A regal shadow appeared above his head, and with one step, the void trembled, looking up to the vast sky.

"The momentum of the masses, a thought of the mortal world. Pointing at the mountains and rivers, commanding the world with vigor!"

Lu Shaoyou's aura was calm, neither happy nor sad. With one finger, he pointed, and instantly, the world turned dark. Then, a golden, majestic figure broke through the darkness, bringing light, making people want to follow this figure. With one finger, even the primordial energy in the void collapsed inward, as if encountering a king!

The Pointing at the Cang Mountain Finger! One finger points at the masses!

Arrogant, domineering, and full of vigor, an image of overwhelming dominance leaped onto the page, carrying the aura of ruling the world and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

"I'll go!" Xiao Shuishui shouted, his entire body bursting with overwhelming divine power, revealing his strength in the Transcendent Secret Realm.

"Heavenly Gang Absolute Life, Mirror Flower Water Moon, Mirage, Yellow粱 Dream!" A strange wave of energy came, and before Lu Shaoyou could react, an invisible primordial energy hand formed, directly grabbing at Lu Shaoyou, carrying a sense of "returning to the village like a rotten log," sorrowful and mournful, like a grieving hand, stirring the emotions of the onlookers, making everyone fall into sad memories.

Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly and pointed with one finger, a faint white light colliding with the primordial energy hand. The entire arena shook, and a massive wave of primordial energy radiated out.

"Good Pointing at the Cang Mountain Finger! Good Lu Shaoyou!" Xiao Shuishui retreated quickly.

Just as Lu Shaoyou retreated, Ye Ku had already reached behind him. He loudly proclaimed a Buddhist chant, his aura of suffering transforming into a stream of energy, wrapping around his body like a shield, protecting him.

"Light of Enlightenment, the Sun Rises, Purifying the World, Burning the World!" Ye Ku held a mirror in his hand, and after casting a few spells, the mirror instantly shone brightly!

Light, equality, wisdom, treasure light, benevolence.

The mirror rose like a great sun, radiating a brilliant light. In the blazing sun, a clear and resonant chanting of scriptures could be heard. Countless monks, arhats, and vajras surrounded a bodhisattva, continuously chanting hymns. The grand hymns echoed throughout the square, and the shadow of the Buddhist kingdom in the blazing flames became more solid, shining toward Lu Shaoyou.

"Treasure Light Purifying Fire, Burning All Things!" Ye Ku spat a mouthful of primordial energy onto the mirror.

Boom!—

The mirror became even brighter, and the entire space was illuminated by the light.
