Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 12 Zhao Zhen's Life Cultivation
As soon as Zuo Ruotong finished speaking, Lu Jin's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression.

"Brother Zhao, please enlighten me."

"Please enlighten me."

Zhao Zhen also took a deep breath.

If we don't count the previous chase with Yuan Jingui and Wen Liangong, this should be the first time he has faced an alien head-on since coming to this world.

The opponent was still the recognized genius of the Lu family, making him the perfect opponent to test his current level.

The atmosphere in the square suddenly became tense. Lu Jin was surrounded by a pale white halo, and the meridians under his skin flowed like white jade—the first level of Reverse Rebirth had been activated.

With a light touch of his toes on the blue bricks, he shot out like an arrow, his right palm striking Zhao Zhen's shoulder with a whooshing sound.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen neither dodged nor evaded. His spine undulated like a dragon, and his true qi surged like thunder. He actually managed to block Lu Jin's palm strike with his arm. Lu Jin had already activated the first level of Reverse Life and his every move had the power of a dragon and a tiger!

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Three Ones Sect exclaimed in unison, "Such powerful true qi! He can withstand the force of Junior Brother Lu activating the Reverse Life state with just his own life cultivation?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Jin's eyes as well. Even he hadn't expected Zhao Zhen to receive his palm strike so easily.

"Well done!" Zhao Zhen shouted, his figure suddenly blurring.

In the next instant, his figure appeared behind Lu Jin. He was so fast that even Lu Jin couldn't see how he got behind her.

Zhao Zhen's close-quarters combat was like a storm, with each strike accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

Lu Jin crossed his arms to try to block, but Zhao Zhen suddenly changed his move, lowering his center of gravity while sweeping his right leg like a steel whip.

Caught off guard, Lu Jin could only do a backflip to avoid the killing blow, while simultaneously using a series of somersaults to temporarily increase the distance between herself and Zhao Zhen.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shuiyun, who was watching from the sidelines, also frowned.

"Master, this Zhao Zhen is quite something..."

"Did you see it?"

Zuo Ruotong smiled and glanced at Shuiyun.

"I didn't really notice at first, but I realized after he fought with Junior Brother Lu just now that, putting aside his other skills, his life cultivation alone is not inferior to those fellow Daoists of Quanzhen."

"Yes, I noticed this when I was talking to this child. The glint in his eyes is much brighter than that of his peers."

Walking with light, effortless steps, abundant internal energy, and piercing eyes—these are all manifestations of cultivating one's physical and mental well-being to a certain level.

"That's a bit strange. Isn't his master the Golden Light Master of the Quanzhen School? If he didn't cultivate the inner alchemy of the Quanzhen School, how could he have such a high level of life cultivation at such a young age?"

Shuiyun asked with some confusion.

"There's nothing strange about that. There are all sorts of strange methods among the extraordinary people in the world, but they all lead to the same goal. At the most basic level, they all cultivate their own life force. It's just that the focus is different after they obtain Qi."

Like the internal alchemy of the Quanzhen School, they abandon all strange skills and tricks, and focus on protecting the golden elixir that represents their life and cultivation.

Therefore, if this child, like the fellow practitioners of Quanzhen, chooses to focus intensely on cultivating the most fundamental aspects of nature and destiny, coupled with outstanding talent, it wouldn't be surprising to have reached such a level at such a young age.

"If it's really as you say, Master, then Zhao Zhen's talent for cultivation is in no way inferior to Junior Brother Lu's. What a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity he chose the wrong master. If he had received a proper master's inheritance from a young age, his achievements would probably be even greater now." "Shuiyun, your idea is a bit arbitrary. Zhao Zhen went out to make his way in the world alone at such a young age, and his behavior and speech did not seem rebellious. It is very likely that there are no relatives left in his family."

In these chaotic times, if he were truly an orphan, he might have starved to death long ago without the Golden Light Master.

In this situation, what choice did he have?

Zuo Ruotong's words immediately made Shuiyun fall into deep thought, and then she also clasped her hands in a fist salute to Zuo Ruotong.

"Master is right. I was too arbitrary and had some preconceived notions."

Zuo Ruotong nodded and turned her gaze back to the two people in the center of the square.

"Master, from your perspective, who do you think will win between Junior Brother Lu and this Zhao Zhen?"

"If he only focuses on cultivating his life force, this level is probably not enough to defeat Jin'er."

"This disciple also thinks so. Although Junior Brother Lu entered the sect the latest, he took the shortest time to cultivate the Reverse Life technique. As long as Junior Brother Lu continues to cultivate the Reverse Life technique, we can eventually wear him down and defeat him."

"Hehe, no rush, let's take another look."

……

While the two were talking, Lu Jin and Zhao Zhen in the center of the square had already exchanged several more blows.

Boom!

As the two punched each other on the shoulder, they both staggered backward.

Zhao Zhen shrugged his shoulder where Lu Jin had punched him. Even through his clothes, there was no doubt that the skin underneath was bruised.

Fortunately, he had never relaxed his training of his character and life force over the years; otherwise, if he had taken Lu Jin's punch head-on, it wouldn't have been as simple as just a bruise.

In contrast, although Lu Jin also took a punch from Zhao Zhen and his entire left arm was dislocated, with the blessing of the Reverse Life Triple Technique, Lu Jin only used his right hand to put his left arm back in place and quickly recovered.

"Brother Zhao's life cultivation is truly remarkable. If I hadn't cultivated to the third level of Reverse Life, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from Brother Zhao in a head-on confrontation."

"Brother Lu is too modest. There are no 'what ifs' in this world. However, Brother Lu's reversal of life to the third level today has truly broadened my horizons. It is indeed worthy of being the ultimate skill of the Three Ones Mysterious Sect."

"Not at all, Brother Zhao. How about we stop here and call it a day? We've already had our share of victories and defeats. If we continue, the only way to determine a winner will be through sheer physical strength."

Lu Jin's meaning was clear: neither of them could gain the upper hand in a head-on fight, and continuing to fight would only lead to a slow and arduous battle.

However, he possesses the Reverse Regeneration Triple Technique, which allows him to heal his injuries at any time. He could easily wear Zhao Zhen down, but in that case, the sparring would be meaningless.

Therefore, to save face for both sides, stopping here is indeed the most appropriate choice.

However, Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head at Lu Jin's suggestion.

After his exchange with Lu Jin, he had a general idea of ​​his current level, so he would proceed according to his original plan.

So, under the watchful eyes of all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect, Zhao Zhen slowly extended one finger.

"One move! Brother Lu, if you can withstand this next move, I'll concede defeat, how about it?"
