Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 18: Abandoning Wang Ai and Shocking Lu Ci

Under the crystal moonlight, Zhou Cheng's soul was suspended above his head, with dots of silver light lingering around his body.

"My soul is still too fragile. It's not on the same level as my body."

"The Blood Moving Realm focuses on physical training. It is too difficult to surpass the sages on this path. Finding another way to train the soul to be strong enough, and then adding the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realms, may also be a way."

With the experience of traveling through all realms, Zhou Cheng was confident that he could reach the 100,000th level in the Blood Moving Realm.

However, if you want to break this limit and become comparable to a baby in the infant stage, the difficulty is extremely high.

Even for a baby, it is not unprecedented and unmatched to reach the Blood Moving Realm. That is an achievement that can only be achieved after ascending to the upper realm and cultivating again.

hum!
Zhou Cheng's soul suddenly became ethereal and transformed into strands of divine light, which then retracted into the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

"It takes time to polish the body and train the soul."

Zhou Cheng's eyes were half closed, and the original symbol on his chest lit up again, as if a little sun was hidden in his body, forging endless vitality and nourishing his body and soul.

……

On the second day of the Luotian Dajiao, the schedule was officially changed from the knockout round to the promotion round.

Starting with the round of 32 qualifying matches on the second day, it was followed by the round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final on the sixth day.

As for the last day, it is the day for awarding the Tongtian Lu and watching the ceremony.

Early in the morning, on the rostrum of the stadium, after finishing morning exercise and having breakfast, Zhou Cheng came to the rostrum early, sat cross-legged and continued to practice.

Not long after, Zhang Zhiwei came over, pushing Tian Jinzhong in a wheelchair, and said slowly, "Mr. Zhou, you came quite early today."

Zhou Cheng also raised his eyes at the right time and said with a smile: "I promised the Heavenly Master that I would be the referee, so I will not break my promise."

Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong sat down one after another, and then Zhang Zhiwei stroked his beard and said, "I wonder if there are any contestants today that you like, Mr. Zhou?"

"It must be Zhang Chulan. Master, isn't the grand ceremony of Luotian Dajiao of yours intended for this kid?" Zhou Cheng asked knowingly.

Zhang Zhiwei's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said softly, "Yes, if there weren't always people looking for the old Taoist who was uncomfortable, there would be no need to go through so much trouble with the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

The old Heavenly Master's original idea was to directly designate Zhang Chulan as the Heavenly Master's successor.

However, several of the Ten Lords jumped out and disagreed. After all, if Zhang Chulan really became the next Heavenly Master, it would be difficult for them to take action. This led to the farce of the Luotian Dajiao.

"It is because you, Tianshi, have profound attainments in meditation. If it were Zhou, you would have beaten him long ago."

The successor to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in each generation was directly selected by the previous Heavenly Master. It had little to do with cultivation, virtue, or ability. These were just things that the previous Heavenly Master needed to consider.

As a result, there were a few short-sighted people who insisted on interfering in the internal affairs of the Tianshi Mansion.

If Zhou Cheng were in the position of the old Taoist priest, he would have turned against him long ago.

"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not as comfortable as you, Mr. Zhou. I have to take care of the whole family in Tianshi Mansion."

While Zhou Cheng was talking with the old Taoist priest, the second day's competition officially began.

The old Taoist priest focused his attention on the younger generation, while Zhou Cheng continued to meditate, circulate his divine light, and slowly improve his body and soul.

Although the improvement speed in the world of Under One Person is a bit slow, it is always better than no improvement.

For Zhou Cheng, the time spent practicing in the world after traveling across time was free.

Because when he returns to the Perfect World, he will return to the time when he left, so Zhou Cheng is not in a hurry.

Time passed, the sun moved up, and in the blink of an eye, the second day of the race was already halfway through.

Zhang Chulan, who created the famous scene of 'Not Shaking the Green Lotus' yesterday, advanced again 'by chance' in this promotion match as his opponent, the Green Talisman God Shan Shitong, retired due to off-court factors, which made countless people grit their teeth.

Amidst the discussions of countless people, Zhang Chulan walked out of the venue with self-awareness.

"I've made a lot of enemies this time... Hey, where's Sister Baoer?"

Zhang Chulan had just taken out his cell phone and was about to contact Feng Baobao when two burly men in suits, one tall and one fat, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Zhang Chulan, the two old gentlemen Lu Ci and Wang Ai from the Ten Lords, please come over." The fat man with a beer belly spoke.

Zhang Chulan was stunned: "Sorry, I don't know the two old men."

The tall and thin man said, "But the two old men know your grandfather. Let's go. The two old men are waiting."

Zhang Chulan was silent for a moment, then put away his phone and dialed Xu Si's number in the process.

……

Deep in Longhu Mountain, in the guest room of the villa.

A gloomy laugh sounded in the dim guest room. Wang Ai, who was sitting on the armchair, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Chulan: "Zhang Chulan, I finally see you."

On the other side of the tea table, Lu Ci, who had a long scar on his face and an unusually fierce temperament, spoke directly: "Zhang Chulan, I don't like beating around the bush. Hand over the source of Qi, and you can set any conditions you want."

Opposite the two of them, Zhang Chulan suddenly had an exaggerated smile on his face and scratched the back of his head with one hand.

"Oh, two old men, stop joking with me. I really don't know what the origin of Qi is. My grandfather never told me about it."

Lu Ci snorted coldly: "Zhang Chulan, it's not that a man is unreasonable. We have to verify what you said."

As he spoke, the young man from the Lu family who was standing beside Lu Ci walked out slowly, stretched out his hand towards Zhang Chulan, and the blue light of the Soul-Brightening Technique emerged.

Boom!

Suddenly, the entire villa shook violently, and then the tightly closed wooden door of the guest room shattered directly, turning into countless powders and floating in the air.

Three figures appeared in the vision of Wang Ai and Lu Ci. The first to come in were Xu San and Xu Si, who stood on both sides to clear the way. Behind them was Zhou Cheng who strode forward.

"The two old men are personally looking for a young man from our company to question. Is there something urgent?"

Xu Si's reckless tone came out, and he rubbed his hands together habitually.

However, Wang Ai and Lu Ci ignored the Xu brothers and instead set their sights on Zhou Cheng. "I didn't expect Zhang Chulan to alarm Mr. Zhou." Wang Ai said with a smile, but gave people a feeling of ill intention.

Lu Ci next to him also had a solemn expression. Unlike Lu Jin, they did not know Zhou Cheng's background.

However, as members of the Ten Boss, the influence and intelligence channels of these two old guys cannot be underestimated. They know that Zhou Cheng had a battle with Lu Jin in Longhu Mountain. Although they don’t know the specific result, they were at least evenly matched.

The company...where did they find such a hidden master?

Lu Ci forced a smile on his face: "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Zhou, we are just asking for some information about this kid's grandfather. After all, many people from our Lu and Wang families died at the hands of Zhang Huaiyi."

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly: "In that case, I will take Zhang Chulan away."

At this time, Wang Ai, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up: "Wait!"

Before Wang Ai finished speaking, brilliant lightning suddenly burst out!
Zhou Cheng had long wanted to deal with these two old guys, but he had no legitimate reason to do so.

After all, no one wants to have someone who kills indiscriminately around them.

I still need the help of the company or the Tianshi Mansion to accomplish some goals, so I can't fall out with them.

However, if he doesn't make a move, it's fine. But once Zhou Cheng makes a move, he will definitely burst out with all his strength and not give the two of them any time to react.

……

Boom!

The green thunder shot straight into the sky, and the terrifying aura fluctuations and lightning could be seen by half of Longhu Mountain.

The dark clouds in the sky collapsed, revealing a ray of light that fell on Longhu Mountain.

"This is... Leifa!?"

"With this kind of power, the old Heavenly Master... No, the old Heavenly Master is on the rostrum!"

The young people who were competing in the stadium looked in the direction of the lightning in horror.

That terrifying and violent lightning energy contained an indescribable ferocity.

Along with it, there was also an ancient, wild and desolate artistic conception, as if the ferocious beast that wielded thunder in the Classic of Mountains and Seas had appeared on Longhu Mountain!

A strong sense of oppression coming from the spiritual level makes most young people feel like they can't breathe.

"This is...trouble. Lao Lu, help me look after Lao Tian!"

The moment the old Taoist priest's aura burst out, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a word of advice.

At this time, the entire Luotian Dajiao competition venue was in an uproar, the order was somewhat chaotic, and some figures hidden among the spectators also showed signs of movement.

"Longhu Mountain's people, maintain order immediately!"

As soon as Lu Jin spoke, everyone felt more confident!

On the other side, there are guest rooms and villas on the mountainside.

At this time, the entire villa had disappeared, leaving only a huge deep pit and ruins in its place. Horrifying blue lightning flashed arcs on the ruins and the ground.

In the ruins, brilliant green lightning burst out wildly and spread violently.

"You, you actually crippled Wang Ai?"

Lu Ci looked at Zhou Cheng in disbelief as he was bathed in endless lightning.

On the one hand, he was shocked that Zhou Cheng dared to attack suddenly without even the slightest intention of testing, and his movement was like the collapse of heaven and earth, risking his life directly.

On the other hand, he was naturally shocked by Zhou Cheng’s strength, who subdued Wang Ai with one move!
In just a moment, with the explosion of Zhou Cheng's breath, the villa was destroyed, the ground collapsed, and Wang Ai fell into a coma. These three things happened almost at the same moment.

As one of the Ten Lords, Lu Ci hasn't appeared in a situation where he couldn't even see the opponent's figure clearly for many years.

too fast!
All I saw was a sudden burst of lightning, and layers of sonic booms overlapped and exploded together, and the entire guest room was directly destroyed.

The speed was so fast that Wang Ai couldn't even make a move to fight back because his body hadn't reacted yet.

At the same time as crippling Wang Ai, Zhou Cheng also punched Lu Ci's right arm, directly blowing it up. The blood mist was completely annihilated and sublimated by the lightning.

This kind of body skills, this kind of life cultivation... Lu Ci had only seen it in Zhang Zhiwei back then.

"Kidnapped company employees... Tell me, how do you want to solve this?"

Zhou Cheng's voice echoed with violent thunder.

The dazzling lightning faintly condensed into the shadow of an ancient demon bird beside Zhou Cheng, and the demon bird's eyes were fixed on Lu Ci.

While speaking, Zhou Cheng placed one foot on the unconscious Wang Ai, and a large golden-red bow appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Thousands of wind, thunder and lightning gathered on the precious bow. As the bow was pulled apart, lightning arrows that seemed to be real condensed and completely locked onto Lu Ci.

"Master Zhou, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

"Master Zhou, those are the Ten Lords, they can't be killed!"

Xu San, Xu Si and Zhang Chulan, who were flying backwards, rushed over as soon as they landed.

Zhou Cheng did not attack them, but the shock wave formed by the energy generated by the explosion of the Wind and Thunder Technique knocked the three people out.

Suddenly, a slender golden light fell from mid-air.

Then Zhang Zhiwei, dressed in Taoist robes, appeared in front of Zhou Cheng's thunder arrow.

"Boss Zhou, you said you are hundreds of years old, why are you still so angry?"

The old Taoist priest didn't even look at Lu Ci who was seriously injured and had a broken arm, and Wang Ai who was unconscious at Zhou Cheng's feet, as if these two people didn't exist at all.

　I know my good brothers all want to see Wang Ai die, but for a powerful alien, crippling him should be more painful than killing him directly.
