Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 28 Another Battle with Lu Jin
The next morning.

As dusk fell, lanterns lit up one by one on the eaves of the Lu family estate. The morning breeze from Sanchuan Cuihu Lake carried a delicate fragrance, rustling the locust trees beside the square.

In the clearing in the woods, the leaders of various sects who had come to attend the birthday banquet yesterday had gathered here early with their disciples.

Before everyone had even arrived, some young people, unable to conceal their talents, had already begun to demonstrate their unique skills.

"Esteemed seniors, Elder Lu, I am Liu Qing from the Quanzhen Sect. I have made a fool of myself."

After bowing to the seniors and Old Master Lu in the main seat, Liu Qing lightly flicked his sleeves, and white mist-like true qi rose from his body.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and swept them across the air, and seven copper coins appeared in the Big Dipper formation, causing the elders at the table to stroke their beards and nod in agreement.

"Indeed, I have long heard that the Quanzhen School's method of cultivating both mind and body is the culmination of mental cultivation and physical enhancement. Now that I see it, it truly lives up to its reputation."

"At such a young age, the true qi in his body is already showing signs of solidifying. This Quanzhen internal alchemy method is truly remarkable."

Seeing that many senior experts were praising Liu Qing, a young man dressed in red with two pigtails suddenly jumped into the arena.

"Fengping, you little brat, what are you doing up there?"

The moment he saw the young man jump in, the Crown Master of the Huode Sect also jumped up from his seat.

“Master, don’t you always say that when you meet a master, you should humbly learn from them? This Senior Brother Liu from the Quanzhen Sect is clearly a master. I’m just following your advice!” the young man replied with a grin.

"You little brat, you've really gone too far..."

Just as Master Chu was about to rush up and give Feng Ping a beating, he was stopped by another friend with a chuckle.

"Oh dear, Brother Chu, the child wants to play, what are you doing? Come on, come on, come with me to the side and watch."

……

Standing to the side with Lu Jin, Zhao Zhen, who had traveled extensively and was well-informed, was naturally regarded as the "know-it-all" of the supernatural world by this "wild man" who had been cultivating in the mountains for a long time.

"That brother is named Feng Ping. He is the most talented disciple among the younger generation of the Huode Sect. At a young age, his master, who was the one who got angry just now—the Chu Sect Master of the Huode Sect—made an exception and allowed him to put his natal talisman fire into the sacred fire."

Not only is his fire control technique superb, but he can also unleash golden fire at such a young age.

As for her personality, she's quite straightforward and doesn't have many hidden agendas. Actually, she's a pretty good person once you get to know her.

"Judging from what Brother Zhao is saying, it seems you are quite familiar with this Brother Feng?" Lu Jin couldn't help but ask.

"Fortunately, I visited Huodezong last year and had a match with Fengping."

"The results of it?"

"A lucky win."

"lucky?"

Upon hearing those two words, Lu Jin immediately gave Zhao Zhen a meaningful look.

While the two were talking, Feng Ping had already been defeated by Liu Qing.

Zhao Zhen wasn't surprised that Feng Ping lost so quickly. After all, today was a big day for the Lu family, and Feng Ping's methods weren't suitable for this occasion.

But if the disciples of the Huode Sect don't use fire and rely solely on their hand and foot skills, how could they possibly be a match for the Quanzhen Sect members who cultivate both body and mind?

In short, this guy was just here to join the fun...

"Alright, Brother Zhao, I've been watching for so long, it's time for me to go up. I'll go up and wait for you."

"it is good."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and after watching Lu Jin go on stage, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting in the shade of a tree.

Should we knock on this "big Buddha" statue? Oh, Celestial Master, you're quite the charmer when it comes to teasing children...

Seemingly noticing Zhao Zhen's gaze, Zhang Zhiwei turned his head and smiled at Zhao Zhen.

The meaning behind that smile was quite clear: Please let me witness Brother Zhao's Golden Escape Flowing Light later.

In response, Zhao Zhen could only return the smile, while inwardly calculating how to deal with Zhang Zhiwei later.

A moment later, after Lu Jin defeated Liu Qing of the Quanzhen Sect, he didn't even have time to rest. He immediately turned his excited gaze toward Zhao Zhen.

"Brother Zhao, it's our turn."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze to Zhao Zhen at the back of the crowd.

"Hey, this is getting interesting. I heard Zhao Zhen defeated Lu Jin five years ago. Is Lu Jin here to get revenge?" "Who do you think will win between these two?"

"It's hard to say. You saw Young Master Lu's reverse life triple level just now. Goodness, Liu Qing, who cultivates both physical and mental strength, is not at all inferior!"

"You know what, I've fought with Zhao Zhen before, and his life cultivation is in no way inferior to that Senior Brother Liu from Quanzhen."

……

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Lü Ci couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong, brother? Still thinking about yesterday?" Lu Ren asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, brother. Since I promised you, I definitely won't go looking for trouble with Zhao Zhen again."

"Haha, of course I know my brother's temper. But brother, you've fought against both Zhao Zhen and Young Master Lu. Who do you think would win?"

“Zhao Zhen,” Lü Ci answered without hesitation.

"Are you so sure?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lü Ren's eyes.

"One is one, two is two. I won't judge Zhao Zhen's character, but when it comes to methods, Lu Jin is no match for him!"

Thinking of how Zhao Zhen had inexplicably neutralized his Ruyi Jin yesterday, Lü Ci couldn't help but feel a bit more wary when he looked at Zhao Zhen.

Meanwhile, in the stadium.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Zhen slowly walked through the crowd to Lu Jin and smiled slightly at him.

"Brother Lu, I've arrived."

"Very well! Brother Zhao, please enlighten me!"

Without saying a word, Lu Jin immediately activated the Reverse Life Triple.

"Wow, he used the Reverse Life Triple Technique right off the bat. Young Master Lu is really cautious. He didn't use this when he fought Senior Brother Liu earlier."

"After all, I lost once five years ago, so my mindset is naturally very different when I challenge it again."

……

Ignoring the discussions of those around him, Lu Jin, just like five years ago, chose to take the initiative to attack Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering gently in the morning breeze. He looked at Lu Jin, who was surrounded by a white jade-like aura, with a faint smile on his lips.

Lu Jin touched the ground with his toes, kicking up dust as he charged forward like an arrow.

The palm wind, carrying the power of dragon and tiger, swept past Zhao Zhen's temples, but missed its target the instant it touched her hair—Zhao Zhen's back arched back was as supple as a willow branch, and her toes hooked onto Lu Jin's ankle.

Lu Jin felt dizzy and was sent flying by the force of the sudden movement.

"Five years have passed, and Brother Lu's reversal of life has become even more refined."

Zhao Zhen chuckled and spun around, her wide sleeves brushing against Lu Jin's nape like flowing clouds. The seemingly soft sweep actually pushed Lu Jin, causing him to stagger three steps.

"This guy is much stronger than he was five years ago."

Lu Jin regained his balance and looked at Zhao Zhen with a serious expression.

Before Lu Jin could catch his breath, Zhao Zhen's figure vanished from the spot and suddenly reappeared behind Lu Jin.

"Is it the Golden Release: Flowing Light again? Don't think I'll fall for the same move twice!"

Lu Jin gave a low shout in his heart. He was prepared and suddenly flipped over to knock Zhao Zhen back with his back hammer. Then he took advantage of the momentum to pursue, and his fists created a sky full of afterimages as he attacked Zhao Zhen.

Faced with Lu Jin's fierce offensive, Zhao Zhen moved about like a butterfly flitting among flowers, occasionally flicking his wrist to force Lu Jin to change his tactics midway.

"Brother Lu, look at your clothes."

After Zhao Zhen reminded him, Lu Jin suddenly realized that a talisman had been stuck to his shoulder at some point!
The next instant, Lu Jin was horrified to find that the surging innate Qi in his body suddenly stagnates, as if something had blocked his meridians.

"The weakness lies in the middle dantian." Zhao Zhen suddenly whispered in his ear, and before Lu Jin could control his true qi to break through the shackles, his index finger had already touched his chest through the fabric.

Ripples spread across Lu Jin's fair skin. He groaned and staggered back, his reversal of life force nearly collapsing from the shock of that single finger strike.

Seeing this, Zuo Ruotong, who was on the sidelines, was not angry at all. Instead, he chuckled to himself: "Hehe, was that talisman a sealing talisman? It blocked the meridians and disturbed Jin'er's mind while taking the opportunity to strike her acupoints to break Jin'er's triple reversal of life."

It seems that Zhao Zhen has not only learned many new skills during his travels over the years, but also seen through the essence of the Reverse Life Triple Realm through their last encounter. Jin'er's loss in this match was not unjust..."
