The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 142 The Secret Technique Displays Its Power, and the Strange Reappears

"You're saying Lu Yan defeated Shen Xi in one strike and has already challenged Wang Chengye?"

Inside the laboratory building, Chu Ci listened to the discussions of those around her, her expression inscrutable.

He knew Lu Yan was strong, but he didn't expect Lu Yan to be this strong, able to defeat Shen Xi with a single blow.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yan's posture, he clearly intends to challenge his way up!

With that in mind, Chu Ci no longer hesitated, quickly tidied himself up, and rushed towards the fighting arena.

This is a great opportunity to get in touch with Lu Yan, and it might even allow Lu Yan to learn about his own sequence first.

If the two sides can reach an agreement later, this battle will definitely be of great benefit.

As for the injuries he suffered in the tower—he is a mental-based character, so physical injuries have little impact on his strength.

Soon, Chu Ci arrived at the fighting arena.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a loud bang, as if something heavy had been smashed to the ground.

He ran quickly to the stands, only to find a giant ape covered in scales standing in the arena.

And at its feet stood a two-headed Titan of equal size!

A New Path: Titan!

This is a unique path for Wang Chengye, who ranks sixth on the Golden List. This path not only endowed him with a terrifying physical body, but also gave him a third life!

According to what Chu Ci knew, it was impossible to defeat the two-headed titan unless both heads were defeated simultaneously.

But judging from the current situation, that giant ape actually did it!

"Is that Lu Yan?"

Chu Ci murmured softly, clearly indicating that his intelligence did not mention Lu Yan having this ability.

The Beastmaster pathway does have the ability to transform, but it doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as this.

At this moment, the dragon ape's size was almost level with the highest point of the arena. If it were outside, people would believe it was an invasion of alien beasts.

Soon, the dragon ape's body shrank rapidly, transforming back into Lu Yan's appearance.

The entire fighting arena erupted in cheers the next moment!

"One move! And another!"

"Where did this Lu Yan come from? He can defeat anyone in one move!"

"I have a feeling he might just keep playing his way up to number one—"

"Not necessarily. The top five are in a different tier of strength, so it's hard to say."

"I still think Lu Yan is stronger, at least in Chu Ci's order—"

"Shh!" The group of people who were talking suddenly noticed Chu Ci's presence and quickly shut up, afraid that Chu Ci would take offense.

But at this moment, Chu Ci's attention was not on them at all; instead, he was staring intently at Lu Yan.

"So you really are a teacher!"

As we all know, a branch path must have a reference source, and the strength of this source often affects the branch path itself.

And now, he can find the source of almost all the branch paths offered by the [Teacher] class in Lu Yan. If it's not Lu Yan, then who else could it be!

On the other side, Lu Yan also noticed Chu Ci's gaze, but didn't pay it any mind.

He never intended to hide it, especially after he displayed his divine abilities in front of others.

After all, only by demonstrating the power of these sequences will more people awaken the branch paths he developed, and he will also receive more feedback.

As for whether someone might exploit this to contaminate his path, that's certainly possible, but he doesn't care.

With the panel in place, any contamination will be eliminated.

Even if the control panel doesn't intervene, he can still resolve it using the smelting method given to him by his master.

But that's a story for another time.

Lu Yan put away Wang Chengye's golden blood and waved to Qian Xin.

Qian Xin immediately understood and challenged Chu Ci, who was ranked fifth on the Golden List, on behalf of Lu Yan.

However, just as the large screen began to flicker, Chu Ci leaped down and landed directly in the fighting arena.

"I didn't expect we'd be facing off so soon. I'm honored."

Chu Ci greeted Lu Yan very proactively, and Lu Yan responded politely before getting straight to the point.

"So, can we begin?"

"sure!"

Lu Yan looked at Chu Ci with curiosity, and he could feel a strong sense of confidence from Chu Ci.

That's right, it's confidence, absolute trust in one's own abilities, not the blind arrogance of Chu Xuan.

Finally, the whistle blew, and Chu Ci launched the first attack without hesitation.

Chu Ci took out a paintbrush and quickly painted in the air, leaving a trace with each stroke.

In the blink of an eye, a two-headed Titan took shape in his hands.

Judging from its appearance, it was exactly the same as the two-headed Titan that Wang Chengye had transformed into.

A New Path: Divine Paint!

He can breathe new life into his characters, and the deeper his understanding of them, the greater his power.

It's practically identical to the original!

The top ten on the gold list form one tier, while the top five form a new tier.

And the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) is the gatekeeper of this new social class!

"Wow, there's even such a sequence!"

As Chu Ci continued to create new "works," the light in Lu Yan's eyes grew even brighter.

Seeing so many unprecedented sequences, coming to the Primal Sanctuary was definitely the right decision.

The mystery of the original path and the creativity of the new path both delighted him.

"However, the drawbacks of this sequence are still too obvious!"

Looking at the two-headed titan that was only a step away from him, Lu Yan finally suppressed his guilt. The secret manual above his head reappeared and turned to the first page on its own.

Secret Technique: Life Suction!

Lu Yan simply reached out and beckoned, and the life force within the two-headed titan surged uncontrollably out, landing in Lu Yan's hand.

Without the support of life, the two-headed titan disintegrated instantly, as if it had never existed.

"What kind of sequence skill is this?"

Seeing Lu Yan easily dismantle the two-headed Titan, Chu Ci was pleased rather than angry.

He felt that Lu Yan was like an abyss, and no matter how much you looked at him, you could not see through him.

The ability he just displayed was extremely similar to the path to becoming emperor in the Chu family, yet it was even purer.

His path to divine intervention was also derived from the path of the emperor, no longer about plundering life, but about bestowing life.

Lu Yan, on the other hand, was able to forcibly plunder the vitality from his paintings.

"I give up!"

Chu Ci readily put away his brush and admitted defeat.

There was no other way; his divine painting had an extremely high limit. As long as his mental strength and vitality could withstand it, he could keep summoning the creatures in his paintings to fight enemies.

However, when faced with Lu Yan's Life Suction technique, it would be considered good if he could exert even 10% of his strength.

"That's it?"

Lu Yan was somewhat disappointed. He had thought Chu Ci would have other tricks up her sleeve, but she had just given up like that.

In fact, the divine art of Chu Ci is not weak, but its weaknesses are too obvious and it is easy to be targeted.

However, instead of awakening the proper Emperor Path, this guy chose to awaken a Divine Path with completely opposite ideas. Could it be that he did this to avoid the drawbacks of his own path?

Thinking of the information he obtained from the Duke of Entropy, Lu Yan suddenly understood Chu Ci's choice.

If he obediently stays at home, either he or his son will have to devour the other if they want to advance any further.

With such a brutal promotion system, it's no wonder Chu Xuan turned out the way he did.

"Mr. Lu Yan, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Do you have a moment?"

Before Lu Yan could launch the next round of challenges, Chu Ci immediately stated her purpose, her eyes full of anticipation.

In his view, Lu Yan's ability to develop this amazing skill on his own might also help him solve the shortcomings of his own sequence.

But after being reminded by Xue Jiansheng, Lu Yan was no longer willing to get involved.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can solve the problem you're facing."

Lu Yan flatly rejected Chu Ci's request, and seeing the disappointment on Chu Ci's face, he added another sentence.

"Actually, the path you're on right now is very good. If you keep going, you might be able to solve the problem."

"My path—"

Chu Ci was somewhat bewildered; this divine path was indeed deduced from the emperor's path.

But how can a few fake lives possibly solve the long-standing problems of the Emperor's Path?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Ci.

He can draw anything that exists, and it is not much different from the original.

If he could paint an existence equal to his father, wouldn't those so-called drawbacks be easily solved?

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's originally hesitant gaze gradually became firm.

He needs to advance as soon as possible to catch up with his father and then help him advance to Sequence 3!

"Thank you for your guidance. I will come back to ask you for advice again."

Chu Ci bowed deeply to Lu Yan in thanks, then quickly left.

He is now eager to continue exploring his own path and doesn't want to waste a single moment.

Lu Yan neither confirmed nor denied this. If a few words could make Chu Ci stop paying attention to him, it would save him from future trouble.

Looking at the five bottles of golden blood in his hand, Lu Yan grinned.

Resources are indeed seized; this is much faster than simply waiting for rewards!

"Strike while the iron is hot, let's finish it all at once."

No one can ever have too much of the blood of gold, so he didn't keep any of it.

If it had been a few days later, it probably would have all been drunk up.

To his regret, the No.4 and No.3 ranked players on the Gold List were both in the Tower and unable to respond to his challenge.

"Well, these five bottles should be enough to get us through the month."

With the challenger absent, Lu Yan had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Young Master Lu, this is the profit sharing from this bet."

At this moment, Qian Xin ran over quickly and stuffed a gold card into Lu Yan's hand.

Lu Yan looked inside and found that there were actually three million gold coins extra!

Seeing Lu Yan's puzzled expression, Qian Xin smiled.

Actually, Lu Yan didn't originally earn that much; he deducted a portion from his own profits.

The purpose, of course, was to befriend Lu Yan.

"Young Master Lu, please forgive me. This competition was rushed and the publicity was inadequate."

Qian Xin feigned modesty and said, "If Young Master Lu is willing, you can let me know before the next ranking event so I can prepare in advance."

"no problem."

Lu Yan had no objection; making money was nothing to be ashamed of.

However, he did have a considerable amount of gold coins, and it would be a waste to just leave them in his card.

"Could you help me purchase some extraordinary materials? Any kind is fine, the more the better."

Since his advancement to the Martial Saint of Divine Edge, he hasn't upgraded any of his rare items for a long time.

Considering that this path is closely related to weapons, it would definitely be a good idea to strengthen it in advance.

"Of course, no problem!"

Qian Xin patted his chest and said, "No need to go anywhere else, our Qian family can provide all of this. I'll have someone arrange it later."

"That's troublesome."

Lu Yan handed the gold card back to Qian Xin and then returned to the manor to cultivate.

But just then, a subtitle suddenly popped up in front of him.

The Dark Forest Lord detected a strange aura and desperately wanted to devour it!

Weird?

Are there death followers here?
