One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

This is the man who made me cry three times back then!

The first time, he went up to Longhu Mountain to challenge Zhang Tianyi with great enthusiasm, but he was rubbed on the ground by Zhang Tianyi with one hand, and his buttocks were stamped with lightning marks, which swelled up for half a month.

The second time, he was not convinced and practiced hard for three years before coming back. As a result, Zhang Tianyi did not even move his hand. He directly used his mental net to predict all his moves and made him run around like a dog. In the end, he collapsed on the ground, crying loudly.

the third time……

Forget the past.

"What? You still haven't recognized me?"

Zhang Tianyi's figure flashed.

There was no momentum, no sign whatsoever.

Lu Jin only felt a blur before his eyes, and the person who was just sitting on the armchair a few meters away was now standing in front of him.

That young, handsome face was very close, his sunglasses had slipped down to his nose, revealing a pair of smiling eyes:

"Little crybaby, it's been over seventy years. Your cultivation has improved a bit, but why has your courage gotten worse? Now that you've been recognized, why don't you come over and pay your respects to your senior brother?"

Lu Jin's face turned bright red.

If anyone else dared to call him "little crybaby," he would have already used a triple reversal technique to beat them so badly they wouldn't recognize their own mothers.

But this person is Zhang Tianyi.

It was the biggest psychological shadow of his life, and also the peer he admired most deep down...

No, this guy is not even in the same league in terms of strength!

"Second...Second Senior Brother!"

Lu Jin gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling, yet he had no choice but to respectfully bow his noble back.

"Oh, sweetie."

Zhang Tianyi smiled and reached out to pat Lu Jin's still-smoking head twice, as if he were petting his own golden retriever.

"You're so old, yet you're still so easily teased. Don't worry, as long as you're not as annoying as you were when you were a kid, I generally don't hit people now."

"generally?"

Lu Jin keenly caught the key words, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked over with his hands behind his back to smooth things over:

"Alright, second brother, give old Lu some face. He's now one of the Ten Elders, in charge of the Lu family. He's a respected figure outside, and everyone calls him 'Flawless in Life'."

"puff--"

Zhang Tianyi spat out the mouthful of cola he had just taken a sip of.

Fortunately, Lu Jin reacted quickly and dodged the sip of the soda by moving to the side.

"A flawless life?"

Zhang Tianyi pointed at Lu Jin, laughing so hard he was doubled over, tears welling up in his eyes:

"Hahahaha! Him? The one I beat so badly he peed his pants... Waaaaah!"

At this moment, Lu Jin disregarded all distinctions of rank and age, rushing forward and tightly covering Zhang Tianyi's mouth. His old face was flushed red as if it were about to bleed, and his eyes were full of pleading.

"Second Senior Brother! Ancestors! Give us a way out! There are still juniors here!!"

In the distance, several young workers who were laying network cables did not hear the specific conversation; they were just watching curiously.

"Who's that old man? He seems to be having a lot of fun with our employer."

"I don't know, but he looks quite wealthy. I guess he's a rich kid's dad."

……

After the farce, the three of them finally sat down at the newly set stone table.

With the WiFi still down, Zhang Tianyi listlessly twirled his phone, listening to the two old men talking about serious business.

"So, those old geezers are determined to target Zhang Chulan?"

Lu Jin had regained some of his grandmaster demeanor, but the tuft of curly hair on his head still looked somewhat comical.

His face was grim, and he slammed his hand on the stone table:

"Hmph! All hypocrites! They claim to be working for the stability of the supernatural world, but they're really just after Huaiyi's Qi Source Flow!"

"That old madman from the Wang family, and that old dog from the Lü family, their behavior is too disgusting!"

Lu Jin grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.

"Old Celestial Master, now that you've initiated the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, I can't just stand by and watch. Zhang Chulan is Huaiyi's grandson, and I feel guilty about what Huaiyi did back then. This time, I'm going to help that child!"

Zhang Zhiwei, holding his teacup, said calmly, "Oh? How do you plan to help? Do you want to get involved and fight for that kid?"

"I'm not as shameless as my second senior brother!"

Lu Jin retorted, then took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

He pulled a yellowed ancient book from his pocket and slammed it heavily on the table.

"In addition to the qualification of the Celestial Master's successor, I, Lu Jin, will add another prize to this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!"

"Whoever wins in the end, I'll pass this thing on to them!"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the ancient book, his eyes slightly opening a crack: "The Tongtian Record?"

One of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Heavenly Talisman.

No need to set up an altar, no need to circulate qi, no need for cinnabar or yellow paper; the talisman is drawn in mid-air and arrives instantly.

This is the pinnacle of the talisman school, and it was also the skill that Lu Jin was most proud of, yet also the one that caused him the most trouble.

"Old Lu, you're really going all out."

Zhang Zhiwei exclaimed, "You're even willing to sacrifice this to muddy the waters and lure those greedy people into revealing their true colors?"

"What's there to be reluctant about!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Although this Tongtian Talisman is precious, in my opinion, it is not as important as Huaiyi's grandson's life!"

"I'm going to muddy the waters! I want to see if those scheming little brats are after the position of Celestial Master or my Heavenly Record!"

After speaking, Lu Jin looked at Zhang Tianyi with a hint of smugness, as if trying to see a trace of surprise on the face of this childhood trauma.

"Second Brother, how is it? Is my work passable?"

Zhang Tianyi was holding his phone up to the sky, looking for a signal, when he heard this and glanced down at the tattered book on the table.

"The Heavenly Scroll?"

He stretched out his finger, casually flipped through a couple of pages, and then tossed them back with a look of utter boredom.

"That's it?"

Lu Jin's smile froze: "Second Senior Brother, this is one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques! Drawing talismans in mid-air! No preparation time required, can be used infinitely! Aren't you surprised?"

"Surprised my ass."

Zhang Tianyi rolled her eyes and raised her right hand.

sizzle-

He casually moved his fingers through the air, and blue-white lightning instantly condensed, leaving behind long-lasting traces in the air.

Less than a second.

An extremely complex lightning talisman, exuding a terrifying and destructive aura, floated in mid-air between the three of them.

This talisman was formed entirely from compressed high-voltage lightning, and the energy it contained was enough to instantly level this courtyard.

“Look, I don’t need paper and pen, nor do I need to set up an altar, and my power is much greater than yours.”

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Tianyi caused the lightning talisman to instantly dissipate, turning into specks of fluorescent light.

He yawned and said lazily:

"The so-called Tongtian Lu is nothing more than a simplification of the art of talismans to the extreme. But for true powerhouses, everything in heaven and earth can be a talisman."

"I am the thunder myself, my words are the law, my actions are the rule. What need is there for those fancy techniques?"

"However..."

Zhang Tianyi changed the subject, looking at the devastated Lu Jin, and said with a grin:

"For those low-level characters who haven't reached the maximum level yet, this thing is truly a god-tier skill. It's enough to use it as a prize to fool those kids."

Lu Jin's lips twitched, and he silently put the Tongtian Talisman back.

He vowed never to show off anything in front of this pervert again.

That's so discouraging!

"Alright, now that we have the prizes and the venue, I should get ready."

Zhang Tianyi suddenly stood up and stretched.

"Getting ready? Second Brother, what are you going to do?"

Lu Jin had a bad feeling.

"Of course, I'm going to give some pointers to the younger generation."

Zhang Tianyi pointed to her face and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Zhiwei:

"Hey big guy, I remember the entry deadline hasn't passed yet, right? Sign me up."

"puff--"

This time, it was Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin's turn to criticize at the same time.

"You want to participate?!"

The two centenarians roared in unison.

"Are you crazy?! You're a senior master! You're going to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?!"

Lu Jin felt her worldview shatter into pieces. "Are you going to electrocute all those juniors into roast pigs?"

"Who said I participated under my real name?"
