A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

Seeing that his opponent still had strength, Ouyang Feng was so angry that he puffed out his beard, glared, and his face turned ashen. He had just discovered that the meridians in his son Ouyang Ke's hands were severed. Even if he could still use them, he would no longer be able to practice fist and palm techniques, so it was no wonder that he was so angry.

On the surface, he's his nephew, but in reality, he's the illegitimate son of his affair with his sister-in-law. They only address each other as uncle and nephew to cover their tracks. He even imparted all his unique skills to her, just like the Green Demon Hand Yi Ku.

Compared to Yi Ku, Ouyang Feng was in a better position, since his son was still alive, though his hands were crippled.

"What are you talking about? Don't be so arrogant when you're young! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you with one blow?"

Ouyang Feng didn't want to fight, and was injured in the rush. If they had fought fair and square, this purple sword energy could only break through his protective qi, and would definitely not be able to invade his meridians and cause internal injuries.

On stage, Li Xunhuan and the others watched with strange expressions. They said youth is fearless, but this guy, having only practiced martial arts for less than half a year, dared to challenge Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Greats?

Is this confidence, or simply ignorance breeds fearlessness?

In a short while, his internal energy had recovered to 50%. This was the Purple Cloud Divine Skill. Apart from the weaker amplification moves, its auxiliary functions were maxed out.

Lu Ming's sword was aimed directly at Ouyang Feng. A gentle breeze ruffled his long hair, and his already handsome appearance was enhanced by a captivating, almost devilish charm that could make any woman's heart flutter: "Aren't you young if you're not hot-blooded! Old Deng, take this!"

After the internal strife of the past, only two sword styles remained in the Qi Sect of the Huashan School: Xiyi and Yangwu. Xiyi sword style is offensive, using Qi to control the sword and quickly kill enemies. Yangwu sword style is defensive, with continuous sword movements that combine defense with offense.

Ouyang Feng roared, forcefully suppressing the discomfort in his meridians. The Divine Camel Snow Mountain Palm was cunning and unpredictable; when he unleashed it, the overwhelming palm shadows resembled a charging divine camel.

The two exchanged blows at lightning speed, the sounds of metal clashing echoing continuously; those without sufficient skill simply couldn't see clearly.

The arena was filled with unpredictable figures. Ouyang Feng noticed that Lu Ming's footwork was not particularly skillful, so he used his Instant Thousand Miles Leap to move around, always catching people off guard.

Fortunately, the [Swift as Thunder] skill compensated for the lack of movement. The Green Smoke Fluttering Skill is good for traveling quickly, but it cannot compare to the exquisite skill of Instant Thousand Miles in small-scale battles.

If we're talking about speed, the Green Smoke Floating Catkins Skill can leave someone a thousand miles in the dust in an instant.

The two exchanged over a hundred blows, their sword energy crisscrossing and palm strikes flashing, causing the arena to sway precariously. The spectators below retreated further and further, some unfortunate enough to cough up blood from the aftershocks; in a direct confrontation, they would have been dead long ago.

Ouyang Feng grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. The suppressed sword energy within his meridians erupted once more, even hindering the flow of his internal energy. It was truly strange that his opponent, so young, possessed such profound internal strength; he was even comparable to Ouyang Feng himself.

Even if someone started practicing martial arts in the womb, they wouldn't have such profound internal strength, right? Could it be some old monster who cultivates techniques to preserve youth?

This reminded him of the Child Granny on Mount Tianshan. He couldn't even last twenty moves against her. With nearly a hundred years of internal energy, she could kill him with a single slap.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng felt a chill run down his spine and roared, "Who exactly are you?!"

Having gradually adapted to fighting against a Grandmaster, Lu Ming smiled contemptuously, sheathed his longsword, and suddenly unleashed a wild ball punch, striking his opponent squarely in the palm.

The two bursts of energy sent Ouyang Feng staggering. This was because Ouyang Feng was suffering from internal injuries; it would have been hard to say what would have happened if he had been at his peak.

The force transmitted was also neutralized by the Golden Body Protection using internal force, and it is still in its prime.

"Me? Lu Ming of the Huashan Sect, you flatter me, senior!"

It's best to stop while you're ahead; continuing the fight might risk a desperate, all-or-nothing confrontation. Ouyang Feng hasn't used his Toad Stance yet, clearly indicating he doesn't want a life-or-death struggle.

His sleeves were already torn by the sword energy, and Ouyang Feng's hands could no longer hide their trembling. His old face turned from blue to purple, but in the end he decided to let the other party go for now and get revenge after he recovered from his injuries.

"Hmph, young man, you don't know your place. I'll let you off the hook for Feng Qingyang's sake."

After saying that, he jumped off the stage. The people of White Camel Manor looked at each other, as if their manor lord had lost.

Judging by actions, not intentions, a loss is a loss. They exchanged a glance and hurriedly walked outside; it was too embarrassing.

It wasn't until Ouyang Feng and the others left that the crowd below the stage erupted in a heated discussion. Witnessing the rise of a young hero was something they could brag about at the brothel.

I had only heard of the Huashan Sect's Gentleman Sword before. Their strength was not considered strong, and they were only well-known in Sichuan. Who would recognize them outside of Sichuan?

Looking at Lu Ming's performance now, he defeated Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Greats, after only half a year of martial arts training, which also made the Huashan Sect famous.

Some well-off families have started to consider sending their children to the Huashan Sect to learn martial arts, just in case a master emerges from among them.

Shangguan Haitang's eyes lit up. If such a talented person could be won over to the Dragon Guard Manor, it would be a great thing, and it would give them a better chance of dealing with the Eastern Depot.

Coincidentally, Luo Jusheng, who came on behalf of the Eastern Depot, thought the same thing.

Lin Shiyin breathed a sigh of relief in the distance; she hadn't misjudged him after all. She didn't exactly love Lu Ming, but she certainly liked him a lot.

Her martial arts skills, appearance, talent, and personality are all very suitable for her; she would make a great husband.

Lin Xian'er, a little jealous, said with a hint of reproach on her delicate face, "Shiyin, you win. I didn't expect I misjudged you, hehe. I'll send you the secret manual later. Looks like I can attend your wedding tonight. Shall I help you get ready?"

Lin Shiyin shook her head slightly and looked at her cousin, who had already gone on stage to announce the results: "Let's go back first. It was just a joke anyway, don't take it seriously."

She knew her best friend's true nature very well; this martial arts manual might very well be stolen goods that couldn't be brought to light. Various suitors constantly showered Lin Xian'er with gifts, all hoping to win a smile from the beauty.

night.

Lu Ming took a bath and changed his clothes, donning festive groom attire. Fighting in the arena during the day and getting married at night—only he could handle it; anyone else would have been exhausted.

I sat cross-legged to speed up my recovery and also checked the rewards for defeating Ouyang Feng during the day.

[Defeat Ouyang Feng to obtain 'Effective Management' (Purple): You can increase your subordinates' loyalty through methods such as giving gifts, providing guidance, and praising them; their loyalty will not decrease.]

That's it?

After finally defeating Ouyang Feng, all I got was a purple attribute.

Where's the promised gold coin giveaway from Old Deng?

[First defeat of a Grandmaster rewards the attribute 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top' (Prismatic): Naturally accumulates essence, energy, and spirit according to cultivation techniques, breaking through realms in perfect condition.]

Upon seeing this entry, Lu Ming fell into deep thought. Whether it was the Five Greats, the Moonlit Palace, or the Three Elders of the Carefree Sect, they were all renowned grandmasters.

However, he cannot be considered invincible. The number one martial artist in the Great Wei Kingdom is still Zhang Sanfeng, the old master of Wudang Mountain!

He single-handedly brought the Wudang School to a height that was not its own. Everyone who mentions Zhang Sanfeng has to fall silent. Sixty years of subduing demons is still too authoritative.

Countless martial artists looked up at this mountain, wanting to climb over and challenge it, but in the end, they all died at its foot.

It's just that Zhang Sanfeng didn't stay in seclusion for very long, otherwise there wouldn't have been any talk of the Five Greats in the martial arts world.

Will I be able to reach that level in the future?

Yes, you can! You definitely can!

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

Lu Xiaofeng pushed open the door, his eyes crinkling with a smug smile. Another playboy was about to suffer, stepping into the "grave" of marriage and becoming bound by its constraints.

"It's time for the wedding ceremony. Hehe, you're in luck, kid. Lin Shiyin is no less beautiful than the number one beauty. Ahem, you should call her sister-in-law from now on. Be careful tonight, the Plum Blossom Thief might come."
