Martial Arts Overlord!

Upon hearing Chen Wei's words, everyone exchanged glances, neither confirming nor daring to deny them.

Seeing Chu Zhen constantly attacking on the stage but unable to reach Lu Jin's clothes, Jiang Zheng slammed his hand on the armrest and almost couldn't stand up.

He stared intently at the trajectory of Lu Jin's movement on the arena, his eyes filled with disbelief.

That's definitely Dragon Shadow, and he's not just a beginner.

The core of the Dragon Shadow movement technique lies in "listening to the opponent's energy" and "neutralizing their energy." By sensing the changes in airflow and muscle exertion during an opponent's attack, one can predict the attack trajectory in advance and then evade it with minimal displacement.

It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do because the human instinct is to retreat or block, rather than slide sideways in the direction of the attack.

But Lu Jin's attack just now was perfectly timed, angled, and distanced, as if he knew all along that Chu Zhen would attack from that angle.

"This Lu Jin..." Yan Wenzhi sat up straight, most of the nonchalance on his face disappearing. "He's interesting."

Jiang Zheng was so excited his face turned red. He slammed his hand on the armrest so hard that it creaked under the weight: "A genius! A true genius!"

He turned to look at Yan Wenzhi, his voice trembling: "Did you see that? He's only been learning Dragon Shadow for a few days, just a few days! And he can already use it to this extent! When I learned this movement technique, it took me a long time just to get the basics right!"

Yan Wenzhi did not refute, his gaze was fixed on Lu Jin, and the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.

"With just Long Ying, Lu Jin does have a chance to defeat Chu Zhen," Yan Wenzhi said slowly.

"Although Chu Zhen's attacks are fierce, it's all for nothing if he can't hit his target. As long as Lu Jin can maintain this kind of movement, he can wear Chu Zhen down."

Jiang Zheng nodded repeatedly, his worries having largely dissipated.

But Yan Wenzhi immediately changed the subject: "However, Dragon Shadow is not omnipotent."

Jiang Zheng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Yan Wenzhi pointed to the arena: "Look at Chu Zhen's feet."

At that moment, Jiang looked in the direction he was pointing, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Although Chu Zhen fought very impatiently, his footwork remained intact.

On the contrary, with each attack, he was consciously reducing Lu Jin's room to dodge.

Each punch forced Lu Jin to move in a certain direction. After several punches, Lu Jin's range of movement had been compressed to a corner of the ring.

That's experience.

Chu Zhen has been training in the elite class for so long that he has accumulated a wealth of practical experience.

Although he was furious, he had not lost his fighting instincts, and he was trying to break through the Dragon Shadow in his own way.

On the arena, a glint of light flashed in Chu Zhen's eyes.

He had already realized that although Lu Jin's dragon shadow was exquisite, it also had flaws.

That's prediction!

Since I can't hit you, I'll predict which way you, Lu Jin, will dodge!

He was waiting, waiting for Lu Jin to change direction again.

Lu Jin slid to the left again, and Chu Zhen's fist arrived as expected, grazing past his shoulder.

Just as Lu Jin was about to change direction to the right, Chu Zhen stomped his right foot on the ground and sprang out like a cheetah.

Explosive steps!

This was a technique that Chu Zhen had figured out himself, where he channeled all his strength into the soles of his feet to unleash maximum speed over an extremely short distance.

This technique puts a tremendous strain on the leg muscles, requiring several minutes of rest after each use, but the effects are immediate.

Chu Zhen's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and the next second he appeared to Lu Jin's right, exactly where Lu Jin would land after changing direction.

"Got you!"

Chu Zhen's left hand reached out like an iron clamp, his five fingers tightly interlocked, and directly grabbed Lu Jin's waist.

His full power erupted at this moment, the dragon roared, his muscles swelled several times their normal size, and his skin was covered with golden dragon scales. His fingers dug deep into Lu Jin's muscles, firmly fixing Lu Jin in place.

A gasp rippled through the audience.

"It's over! Brother Lu Jin has been caught!"

Chen Wei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Jiang Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, while Yan Wenzhi's lips curled up: "Not bad combat skills. You predicted Long Ying's dodging position. With the Overlord Lifting the Cauldron, Lu Jin is going to lose."

On the arena, Chu Zhen grabbed Lu Jin without pausing for a moment. The phantom of the dragon and elephant surged behind him, and the Dragon Fist changed its move!

Azure Dragon Presents a Gift!

After grabbing the opponent, use your other hand to strike the opponent's jaw from below, using the lever principle to send the opponent flying.

Once it hits, the opponent will lose their balance in the air, and subsequent combos will be impossible to defend against.

Chu Zhen's right fist slammed out from his waist with an unstoppable momentum, aiming straight for Lu Jin's jaw.

Then comes the Dragon Raises Its Head. The moment the opponent is thrown into the air, the dragon grabs the opponent's head with both hands and slams it down, combined with a knee thrust. This combo would make even an iron man kneel.

"Your movement skills are nothing special!" Chu Zhen roared, his voice echoing across the arena. "Your entire body is full of openings!"

The enormous golden hand that the Azure Dragon presented as a gift had already reached below Lu Jin's chin, less than ten centimeters away.

Everyone thought the outcome was already decided.

Yan Wenzhi slowly shook his head: "He has good talent, but there is still a huge difference in physique."

"It's still too difficult for a third-stage Flesh Refining Realm cultivator to defeat a fourth-stage Flesh Refining Realm cultivator, but it's quite impressive that they've managed to hold out for so long thanks to Dragon Shadow."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden change occurred on the arena!

A flash of golden light!

Lu Jin's body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. The light did not come from outside his body, but rather emanated from beneath his skin, as if a sun was burning inside him.

The phantom of a dragon and an elephant appeared behind him. The dragon and elephant was larger and more solid than Chu Zhen's, almost becoming a physical entity.

With the Water and Fire Immortal Robe and the Undying Golden Body activated simultaneously, a layer of golden light film covered Lu Jin's skin. The film looked as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it exuded a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

Chu Zhen's Azure Dragon Offering struck Lu Jin's jaw hard.

There was no cracking sound as expected, no figure flying backward, and Lu Jin's head didn't even tilt.

Chu Zhen's fist felt like it had hit an iron mountain; the recoil traveled back up his arm, making his entire arm go numb.

"This..." Chu Zhen froze on the spot, his pupils dilating violently.

His proud Azure Dragon Offering, a punch he poured all his power into, struck Lu Jin, yet Lu Jin remained completely still!

Lu Jin lowered his head slightly, looked at the stunned Chu Zhen, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth before finally uttering his first words of the day:

"I just deliberately gave you a weakness."

His voice was calm, as if he were stating a very simple fact.

"But you failed to seize the opportunity."

Lu Jin paused, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "You seem to have not eaten."

The entire room fell silent.

A few seconds later, a deafening roar erupted.

"No, Brother Lu Jin withstood Brother Zhen's Azure Dragon Offering? He withstood it?"

"Impossible! What kind of physical strength is that!"

Jiang Zheng suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair in the process.

He stared intently at the golden aura surrounding Lu Jin, his lips trembling violently. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Little Lu... you've reached the fourth level of the Dragon-Elephant Realm?"

His voice wasn't loud, but in the deathly silent martial arts hall, every word was clearly audible.

The four realms of dragons and elephants.

A body of dragon and elephant.

Yan Wenzhi suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes wide open, his calm expression shattered completely, replaced by pure shock.

"A true genius," Yan Wenzhi murmured to himself, his voice filled with amazement.

He had met many geniuses, including the Zhao family genius from the inner city branch, the outstanding talents from other branches, and even the monstrous geniuses from the main branch.

But he had never seen anyone break through from the third to the fourth level of the Flesh Refining Realm in just a few days, and cultivate the Dragon Elephant Skill to such a degree.

If Lu Jin can maintain this talent and comprehension in his later realms, his future is limitless.

Lu Jin will surely have a place in the future of martial arts.

Xu Jiang stood on the coach's bench, his jaw almost dropping.

He recalled the day Lu Jin first entered the elite class. At that time, he thought the young man had good talent and needed to be properly trained.

And what happened? In just a few days, Lu Jin had already surpassed his coach.

What kind of monster did he bring out?

The audience erupted in cheers.

"Dragon and Elephant Fourth Realm! Lu Jin has truly broken through to the Dragon and Elephant Fourth Realm!"

"My God, how did he do that? It took Brother Zhen more than half a year to break through, and he only took a few days?"

"I finally understand the meaning of the saying, 'Even among geniuses, there are differences.'"

Wang Qi, Bai Bo, Zhang Ming, and Yang Tai stared in disbelief, their expressions incredibly varied.

They recalled their battle against Lu Jin, at which time they thought Lu Jin was already incredibly powerful.

Now it seems they had greatly underestimated Lu Jin!

"I told you he was a monster." Bai Bo swallowed.

"Not a monster, but a demon," Wang Qi corrected.

Zhang Ming didn't say anything, but silently took two steps back, as if moving further away from the arena would keep him further away from Lu Jin.

"Smash his teeth! Lu Jin...Brother!" Yang Tai shouted, raising his arm.

Chen Wei had gone mad. He jumped and danced through the crowd, his voice hoarse from shouting, "What did I say?! My brother Lu Jin is invincible! A peerless genius! No, a peerless prodigy! Did you see that?! Did you see that?!"

Chu Zhen stood on the arena, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

He refused to believe what he was seeing.

Lu Jin has broken through to the fourth level of the Dragon-Elephant Realm?

Lu Jin has acquired the body of a dragon and an elephant?

How could this be? It took Chu Zhen half a year, through countless bottlenecks and breakthroughs, to barely step into the fourth realm of the Dragon Elephant.

And Lu Jin? He's only been in the elite class for a few days? How could he have accomplished in just a few days what others take so long to achieve?

"Impossible." Chu Zhen's voice trembled. "This is impossible."

He didn't accept it.

He couldn't accept it.

Chu Zhen, the top student in the elite class of this branch, achieved his accomplishments after years of hard work, only to be easily surpassed by a newcomer who had been in the elite class for just a few days.

What about his efforts? What about his perseverance?

Was he just unlucky to run into Lu Jin?

"Impossible!" Chu Zhen roared, his eyes bloodshot, his adrenaline surging wildly through his body as he rushed toward Lu Jin without regard for anything else.

Soaring to the sky from the ground!

This is the most powerful move in Dragon Fist, concentrating all the body's strength into one punch, striking the opponent's chin from below.

This move requires charging up and has a large opening, but its power is also astonishing. Once it hits, the opponent has almost no chance of turning the tide.

Veins bulged on Chu Zhen's fist, and the phantom of a dragon and elephant twisted and deformed behind him. He had staked all his strength on this punch.

Lu Jin looked at Chu Zhen rushing towards him, his eyes calm as still water.

He has already tested and found what he wanted.

Chu Zhen's speed is not as good as his.

Chu Zhen's power could not break through his defense.

The gap between the fourth and fifth levels of meat refining is as vast as a chasm.

Now that the test is complete, there's no need to play it anymore.

Lu Jin stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and accurately caught Chu Zhen's incoming fist.

boom!

The fist and palm collided, producing a dull thud.

Chu Zhen's fist was firmly held in Lu Jin's hand, as if it were clamped by an iron clamp, unable to move forward even an inch.

Chu Zhen's expression changed drastically. He tried to pull his fist back, but found that Lu Jin's fingerprints didn't budge.

Lu Jin squeezed hard.

ka ka ka-

Chu Zhen's finger bones cracked under the strain, and intense pain shot through his hands, turning his face deathly pale instantly.

Lu Jin twisted again, and Chu Zhen's entire arm was twisted into a strange angle, causing his body to lean forward involuntarily.

Lu Jin's other arm shot out like a venomous snake, his elbow slamming into Chu Zhen's jaw with a piercing whistling sound.

Elbow strike followed by a jump.

Like thrusting a gun upwards!

boom!

This elbow strike was clean and decisive, without any hesitation or slack.

Chu Zhen's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the arena. He bounced twice and slid several meters before coming to a stop.

Bright red blood flowed from his mouth, dripping onto the cushioning pad of the ring—a horrifying sight.

His eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling, his gaze unfocused. His lips moved a few times as if he wanted to say something, but he could only utter muffled sobs.

lost.

Chu Zhen, the former king of the elite class of Tianlong Martial Arts School and a strongman of the fourth level of meat refining, was defeated by Lu Jin in one move.

Below the arena, there was complete silence.

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

Only Lu Jin's indifferent voice resounded.

"Useless! Your strength doesn't match your constant arrogance!"

After Lu Jin finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on him.

He looked completely calm, with not a drop of sweat on his face, as if defeating Chu Zhen was an easy task for him!

It took Lu Jin less than a month to go from joining the branch to becoming the top student in the elite class!

This is what genius is!

Suddenly, everyone had the same thought in their minds!

"I've seen many geniuses!"

"But everyone calls me a genius!"

This is Lu Jin!

In an instant, the deathly silence was shattered, and the entire floor was engulfed in a raging storm!

...
