Chapter 41 Entry: [A Glimmer of Hope]
When Zhao Li pounced on him again.
Lu Yuan could clearly feel the difference compared to before.
In terms of speed, it's much faster.
In terms of defense, when I punched him, he only swayed slightly.
In terms of reaction, the moment he started his Green Wind Step, Zhao Li had already blocked his retreat.
The two clashed.
During this period, Lu Yuan was suppressed and forced to retreat step by step.
He stepped on the floor, leaving seven or eight cracks of varying depths.
He possesses strength approaching five thousand jin.
However, its speed and defense are significantly inferior to its opponent's.
However, he didn't panic.
The perfected Azure Wind Step was instantly unleashed.
His figure traced a winding arc on the ring.
This was to avoid Zhao Li's direct pursuit.
Zhao Li followed closely behind him.
Whenever I try to get close to him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Li punched Lu Yuan twice on the back.
Correspondingly, whenever Zhao Li caught up and made a move, Lu Yuan would strike Zhao Li's shoulder with his Shattering Rock Palm.
Zhao Li cried out in pain repeatedly.
The gap between the two sides has widened again.
The two chased and tugged at each other in the ring, each punch landing squarely.
Under the influence of [Pain Immunity], [Qilin Bloodline], and [Qilin Arm].
Every palm strike from Lu Yuan caused Zhao Li excruciating pain.
on the other hand.
With each punch Zhao Li landed on Lu Yuan, he felt little pain.
Minor injuries can heal on their own.
After a long chase.
Zhao Li simply ripped off the tattered cloth soaked with sweat, revealing his strong upper body.
He channeled his internal energy, and dark red lines quickly appeared under his skin.
The pattern of a fierce tiger was coiled on his chest and shoulders.
The tiger's whiskers bristled angrily.
His eyes were positioned directly on either side of his heart.
The audience was immediately shocked.
"That's a sign that the Blood Tiger bloodline has been activated!"
"The Eastern Lu and Western Zhao dynasties are likely to become history today. Lu Yuan is likely to fall today."
...
"Watch this move."
Zhao Li's voice was deep and resonant, like a tiger's roar.
"Tiger Fist!"
It's different from simply comparing strength.
Zhao Li's punch was infused with the internal force of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Before the fist even arrived, a dark red phantom of a blood tiger had already detached from the fist.
It roared and pounced on Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan couldn't avoid it.
We have no choice but to accept the challenge.
He mobilized the power of numerous attributes such as "innate superhuman strength."
Rock-crushing Palm
He waved his hand in greeting.
The moment his fist and palm collided, he felt a surge of internal force rising up his palm bones.
In a matter of moments, his sleeve was torn to shreds from the elbow.
The Rock-Shattering Palm technique relies on the strength supported by Qi and blood.
Zhao Li used the Fierce Tiger Fist.
It relies on the burst of energy driven by internal force.
The two remained locked in a stalemate.
Lu Yuan gradually lost ground.
A trickle of blood even oozed from the corner of his mouth.
It dripped down his chin onto his clothes.
Her shirt was ripped in several places, revealing the skin underneath that was already turning red.
These details were quickly noticed by those below.
Someone in the crowd muttered something first.
"Lu Yuan is finished!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was particularly jarring in the quiet.
Then the second person spoke.
"It seems the Qilin bloodline is going to be defeated by the Blood Tiger bloodline."
Others gradually began to agree.
"Lu Yuan has been too arrogant lately. He doesn't get up until the sun is high in the sky, and you can never see him at the martial arts arena. He spends every day fishing and drinking tea, though."
"Now you finally know what it means to be outmatched and have endless potential."
"He doesn't even deserve to be called a genius? Arrogant, and he doesn't know how to work hard..."
These words rose like the tide, layer by layer, and when they reached Lu Yuan's ears, he was using his Rock-Shattering Palm to block another Tiger Fist from Zhao Li, and was knocked back three or four steps.
Fighting across a vast new realm, he himself was nearing his breaking point.
To win right now, we still have one trump card.
A powerful strike
But he didn't know if Zhao Li had any other tricks up his sleeve.
This term has too many side effects, and he doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
Lu Youde was clenching his hands tightly at the scene, his knuckles white and bloodless.
The discussions grew louder and louder.
"It's time!"
Before coming here, Lu Yuan had kept a trump card for himself.
While fending off Zhao Li's attacks, Lu Yuan glanced over the edge of the arena and swept his gaze across the crowd.
a long time.
Finally, I found that familiar hunched figure.
Old Huang was leaning against the outer stone pillar, looking no different from any other old servant watching the spectacle.
But when Lu Yuan's gaze fell on him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The two stared at each other for a moment across the ring.
He immediately understood.
A moment later.
Several servants appeared in various places below the stage.
They all started talking at the top of their lungs.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very steady.
It's like I've memorized the words in advance.
"Lu Yuan can't possibly lose. He must still have some trump cards up his sleeve."
As soon as someone objected, the servant immediately chimed in.
"Didn't you see that Zhao Li even activated the Blood Tiger bloodline? Lu Yuan hasn't even used the Qilin bloodline yet, and he's still able to hold his own against him!"
"If I were to invoke the Qilin bloodline, wouldn't I be able to defeat him in a matter of minutes?"
Another person took over the conversation from the other side.
"You don't understand, that's how real geniuses are."
I like to deliberately push myself to the brink before I can break through.
Lu Yuan guessed that he had been deliberately suppressing his cultivation level recently, just waiting for today.
You think he's slacking off by fishing and drinking tea? He's tempering his mind and strengthening his will.
The rhythm of these words was deliberately controlled.
They emerged one after another from different directions, and each rebuttal was timed precisely when the audience began to waver.
The audience gradually began to be drawn in by this rhetoric.
"Lu Yuan has always dominated every battle before. ...This time will definitely be the same."
"I bet Lu Yuan is using Zhao Li as a sparring partner on purpose!"
"Maybe Lu Yuan will break through his current level while fighting?"
"Lu Yuan will definitely not lose!"
...
The doubts gradually subsided, replaced by cheers and encouragement.
"Lu Yuan can't possibly lose! He must be waiting for the right opportunity to break through!"
at this time.
The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.
The voices that had been mocking him and wanting to see him make a fool of himself were all silenced.
Instead, the same belief took its place.
The breaths of thousands of people gradually merged into a single rhythm, thousands of eyes were fixed on the same person, and thousands of voices overlapped into the same sentence—Lu Yuan, break through to show them.
Finally, just as Lu Yuan once again took Zhao Li's fierce tiger fist head-on and was knocked back several steps, a familiar notification sound rang in his mind.
Ding!
New entry: 【A Glimmer of Hope (Blue)】
【A Glimmer of Hope (Blue)】: Many people believe that you deliberately put yourself in a desperate situation in order to seek a breakthrough.
Effect: When in dire straits, the bottleneck to breaking through realms will be greatly reduced, and there is a chance to directly break through to the next realm.
"I can't believe it, it actually worked!"
Lu Yuan had previously instructed Lao Huang to guide public opinion and create momentum for himself in the audience at a crucial moment.
did not expect.
The effect was surprisingly good!
I got a blue keyword directly!
He barely has any blue-level entries left!
"This is a desperate situation! Then let's break through now!" Lu Yuan roared in his heart.
