Just then, Feng Shayan and her brother Feng Xingtong suddenly walked towards Luke. Feng Xingtong was very outgoing and started greeting him from afar.
Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do we know each other?"
Chapter Thirty-Six: One Man's Story: First Opponent, Tianjin Wei Xiaotaoyuan
Although Luke has been looking for fights everywhere in the past year or two, he doesn't remember encountering the Feng family or the Tianxia Society. Of course, the main reason is that they haven't met, and the Feng family's strongest technique, Spirit Binding and Commanding, involves spirits, which doesn't suit Luke's taste.
Feng Xingtong scratched his head and said with a bright smile.
"No, no, no, Brother Lu may not know me, but I have heard of Brother Lu for a long time. So, I'm taking this opportunity to get to know you."
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my older sister, Feng Shayan. She has wanted to meet Brother Lu for a long time."
Feng Shayan rolled her eyes, punched Feng Xingtong on the head, and then, ignoring her younger brother's cries of pain, stretched out her delicate and pretty hand and said.
"Hello, my name is Feng Shayan, I'm this guy's older sister. Don't listen to his nonsense, I just want to get to know you so I can have a fight with you."
Looking at the competitive girl in front of him, Luke also reached out his hand, feeling the soft touch, and said with a smile.
"What you're saying isn't much different from what your brother is saying. Fighting is fine, of course, but judging from your number, I'm afraid we won't meet in the preliminary rounds. As for whether we'll meet in the later rounds, that's up to fate. If all else fails, we can arrange a time after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and have a match."
Luke would certainly not refuse a fight, especially one with a beautiful, sassy girl with a great figure. He had even less reason to refuse.
Feng Shayan has a tough appearance, a fiery temper, and is extremely competitive. She seems unruly, but in fact, she is the most obedient of Feng Zhenghao's children.
The so-called fiery and competitive personality was actually just a personality trait he deliberately cultivated to become stronger and gain his father's approval.
"Okay, it's settled."
Feng Shayan admired Luke's decisiveness and had always liked Luke, a strong young talent. She felt a sense of accomplishment only by defeating such an opponent.
"Jarluq, it's your turn to enter the game!"
Before long, the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, who was acting as the referee, began calling out Luke's name.
"Kaka!"
Luke twisted his neck, making a crisp sound.
After finishing his conversation with the Feng siblings, he arrived at the stands, stretched his limbs, and then jumped down from the stands to the competition area.
Luke, with his agile physique, leaped into the arena like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The cheers from the audience surged like a tide, but they seemed to be stunned by the cold aura emanating from him, and fell silent for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes, scanning his surroundings as if measuring every inch of space and every flow of power.
With a deep rumble, Luke suddenly stopped, as if pulled by an invisible force, and fell entirely under the influence of gravity.
The speed was astonishing, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.
Just when everyone thought he was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Luke's legs plunged straight into the ground, his powerful body completely withstanding the strong reaction force, and he himself was completely unharmed.
Amidst the rising dust, he slowly rose, his eyes gleaming with an indomitable light, as if his previous feat was merely a warm-up.
This scene not only shocked everyone present, but even Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong looked at each other in disbelief.
Luke's strength has exceeded their expectations, making the upcoming showdown even more anticipated.
Due to limited space, the matches were scheduled at different times. Zhang Chulan, who hadn't yet taken the stage, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Luke below, wondering what he was planning.
"Wow, that's quite a commotion!"
As soon as they landed, the Lu family heard the voices from the other side; it was a Tianjin accent.
"You won't run into the three of us. No matter how big a fuss you make, you're finished."
Luke's opponent is Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei from Tianjin Wei Xiao Taoyuan, which is a small duo.
In Xiaotaoyuan, Tianjin, there are three people: Liu Fang, Guan Ling'er, and Zhang Cai.
Three notorious troublemakers in Tianjin's eccentric circles, they became apprentices together, and were expelled from the school together.
What they did could not be described as heinous or extremely wicked.
However, he also committed many evil deeds and bullied others by abusing his power.
Don't be fooled by how these three chickened out and immediately surrendered when they saw Feng Baobao in the original story. In fact, they are quite strong and are among the top in the younger generation. They even dared to challenge Zhang Lingyu, who is recognized as one of the best in the younger generation. They have the ability to do so. Even if they can't beat Zhang Lingyu, they can still fight him for a while.
In the original story, the reason why they surrendered to Feng Baobao was actually quite simple: these three thugs had been beaten up by Feng Baobao before, and were even put into a shipping container and thrown into the sea. If they hadn't escaped halfway, they would have drifted all the way to Japan.
"Wait a minute, this guy looks so familiar! Isn't that Luke?"
Suddenly, Zhang Cai seemed to recognize Luke and spoke up.
These three were petty thugs, with the best information on the streets. Most of the petty thugs in the world of supernatural beings hung out with the Tiger-like Ancient Absorption Pavilion.
Luke had fought with that tiger before, and although he lost after a hundred moves, these thugs still had a deep impression of Luke.
Liu Fang squinted, then his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he smiled obsequiously.
"Hey, isn't this my brother Lu? What are you doing here?" (Tianjin accent)
Luke waved his hand and said, "We have no connection. I don't know you. If it's time to fight, then fight."
Liu Fang said with a grin, "Look at what you're saying, Brother Lu. Even the three of us combined are no match for you!"
Although the three of them were confident that they could fight even if Zhang Lingyu were in front of them, they really had no desire to fight Luke.
Damn it, this guy can go toe-to-toe with two heroes for over a hundred moves, how are the three of us supposed to fight him?
Luke squinted and said, "Don't worry, I won't make the first move. You guys go first. I won't go too far. After all, it's the preliminary round. It's a bit unreasonable to admit defeat without even fighting. People might think there's something fishy going on!"
It's unacceptable to admit defeat without even fighting. If all future opponents do this, wouldn't the nickname "Shameless" be mine after we leave Longhu Mountain?
"In that case, the three of us brothers will have to offend them."
Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Person's Story: There are disciples who close the gate, and of course, disciples who close the window.
The three of them stood in a triangle, surrounding Luke in the middle.
Then they began to turn slowly, each step appearing unusually heavy, as if they were setting up some mysterious ritual.
Luke's eyes narrowed; he could sense that the auras of these three people were changing.
The innate Qi within their bodies seemed to be being mobilized, as if a powerful force was being brewed.
A violent aura suddenly erupted from Liu Fang's body, his muscles swelled again, and he seemed to transform into a humanoid beast.
Guan Ling'er's speed was astonishing; his body almost became a blurry afterimage.
In Zhang Cai's hand, the dagger emitted a dazzling cold light, as if it could even cut through the air.
With a shout, Liu Fang charged toward Luke like a cannonball, his fist whistling through the air.
As mentioned before, Luke did not make a move; he was merely on the defensive.
Liu Fang's fist struck Luke in the chest, Guan Ling'er's leg kicked Luke's leg, and Zhang Cai's dagger slashed towards Luke's head.
With a crisp clang, Zhang Cai's dagger broke in two the instant it touched Luke's head, as if it had struck solid metal.
At the same time, Liu Fang felt as if his fist had struck an unshakeable mountain. A sharp pain shot through his fist, causing his expression to change drastically.
As for Guan Ling'er, although his leg technique was fast, it was as if he had kicked an invisible iron wall. His shinbone felt like it was about to crack under the violent impact, and he was in excruciating pain. He was sent flying backward involuntarily.
The three were utterly shocked. They never imagined that Luke's physical training had reached the point of being indestructible.
That seemingly ordinary physical body was now as if cast in bronze and iron, indestructible.
Luke smiled slightly, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes. He lightly brushed the dust off his clothes, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a trivial interlude.
"Your combined attack is quite good. The Qi of the three of you has actually merged together. When one of you attacks, it's like the combined power of the three of you. When the three of you attack, it's like nine people attacking at once. It's just a pity that your technique is excellent, but your skills are lacking."
Liu Fang said with a long face, "Brother, aren't you overestimating the three of us? Hurry up and do it, we've run out of ideas."
It has to be said that Liu Fang's Tianjin accent is quite comical, probably something he has in his Tianjin genes.
"Alright then, I'll go easy on you and try not to make you suffer."
Before Luke could finish speaking, his figure transformed into a blur, moving at a speed that was dazzling to behold.
In the blink of an eye, he was already beside the three of them, as if the air itself trembled at his movement.
With a slight lift of his hand, his palm, sharp as a knife, precisely struck Liu Fang on the back of the neck.
Liu Fang felt a sudden darkness engulf him, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Oh my god, that was way too light..."
It's obvious this is a sarcastic remark. He wants to admit defeat but won't back down, and he even has to beat himself up. He's overestimating himself.
Luke smiled slightly, then turned and gave Guan Ling'er another slap.
While Guan Ling'er was still in a daze, she suddenly felt a great force strike her. Instantly, stars flashed before her eyes, and her body involuntarily fell forward, smashing into the ground and kicking up dust. She secretly groaned, "This is not gentleness, this is clearly bullying!"
Finally, Luke turned his gaze to Zhang Cai. Upon seeing this, Zhang Cai turned deathly pale and even threw away the broken dagger in his hand.
Luke didn't hold back either. With a swift chop, Zhang Cai collapsed to the ground, as if his bones had been removed, muttering incoherently.
The three of them rolled their eyes and collapsed to the ground, creating a somewhat comical scene.
Luke dusted off his hands, a playful smile playing on his lips. "I said go easy on me, but I didn't say go easy on me. Your combined attack technique is wonderful, but you still need to practice it more."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the three astonished people standing there, bewildered in the wind.
Although these three were petty thugs, they hadn't offended Luke yet and were quite polite to him, so Luke wouldn't hurt them.
The old master watched this scene from the stage and smiled at Lu Jin beside him.
"Old Lu, your son is quite remarkable. To have such cultivation at such a young age, I heard he can even spar with Xiao Na?"
Xiao Na is none other than Ru Hu. Given the old Celestial Master's age, seniority, and strength, it is quite appropriate for him to address Ru Hu as Xiao Na.
Lu Jin's lips curled up, then returned to normal. He snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction.
"There's no need to praise the old Celestial Master. He's young and arrogant because of his cultivation level. Is his body training meant for him to stand still and take a beating? He's so arrogant as to accept attacks from others. If this were the thunder magic of your Celestial Master's Mansion, he would have been dead long ago."
The old master's lips twitched, and he said, "Come on, don't think I don't know how happy you are. This child is indeed very talented. Although he didn't use his full strength, my more than 100 years of cultivation still has some effect. I still have a good eye. I'm afraid this kid is stronger than you think. In a few years, I'm afraid you won't be his match either. With such a good seedling, doesn't Old Lu have any ideas? For example, how about changing his surname from Lu to Lu?"
Lu Jin's expression darkened, and he shook his head.
"Hmph, that brat Lu Yun is always causing trouble. He won't agree to change his surname. Sigh, how come my Lu family only has one romantic?"
Despite his current pale face, Lu Jin didn't actually have any complaints about Lu Yun. To be honest, Lu Jin admired his grand-nephew's character. He had traveled all over China and abroad to avenge his wife. That's what a member of the Lu family should be like: persistent, sentimental, and principled.
Whether or not Lu Ke changes his surname, Lu Jin doesn't care. Does that mean that if Lu Ke doesn't have the surname Lu, he's not a member of the Lu family and doesn't have the Lu family bloodline?
