Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

The guy in front of me is even stronger than those burly men who specialize in physical training. Once we get into close combat, he'll be overpowered by sheer brute force and I'm afraid I'll be defeated instantly.

"Use the somersault cloud to create distance, then use clones to disrupt the line of sight, and then use ranged attacks."

“In the previous battle, that little girl’s Dragon Claw Hand couldn’t break through his defense, but that doesn’t mean that magical methods are ineffective.”

In a split second, Wang Zhenqiu had already decided on the tactics.

He reassembled his golden cudgel and swung it fiercely: "Children, charge!"

In an instant, a swarm of monkey clones, shimmering with seven-colored light, flew out like locusts and pounced on Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an's eyes were indifferent as he ignored the menacing clones. He suddenly exerted force with his feet and charged forward like a bulldozer.

"Bang bang bang..."

Those seemingly ferocious clones were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, smashed to pieces and turned into countless streams of light in front of him.

Under the cover of his clone, Wang Zhenqiu took out a handful of golden millet from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and threw it at Li Chang'an.

The millet grains fell around Li Chang'an and instantly took root and sprouted, sending out golden threads that bound his legs.

Those in the audience who knew their stuff instantly recognized the origin of this technique.

"The 'Millet Thousand-Jin Binding' technique is an ancient magic trick. A secret incantation is cast on millet, then it's thrown. Anyone who touches it will be bound, unable to break free without immense strength. This Li Chang'an is in grave danger..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man was dumbfounded, because the millet-pound scepter had only trapped Li Chang'an for a moment before it was torn off.

The Thousand-Pound Stance can hold down an ordinary person, but it cannot hold down Li Chang'an, who possesses the strength of a dragon and an elephant.

"Holy crap, what kind of monster is this guy?! Although the Millet Thousand Pounds Fixation isn't exactly a profound spell, there's always a solution to every problem. To break this spell, we should start with the spell itself, right? He actually broke free with brute force, and so easily at that. Does he have the strength of a ton or two with every move he makes?"

On the stage, Li Chang'an, having broken free of his restraints, instantly appeared in front of Wang Zhenqiu, reaching out to grab him, intending to capture him.

But suddenly, Wang Zhenqiu's face began to swell uncontrollably.

A restless crimson flame surged forth from his seven orifices, then exploded violently.

"Oh!"

The scalding flames surged several meters upwards, engulfing Li Chang'an.

"They've taken the bait, has it worked?" Wang Zhenqiu turned his head to look.

Li Chang'an stood calmly in place. Protected by the reversing white qi, he did not suffer any substantial damage. However, the back of his outstretched hand, which was close to the center of the explosion, was scalded with several blisters by the fierce flames.

Wang Zhenqiu was startled: "This guy's defense is frighteningly high, but I still managed to break through it. As long as I can inflict damage, there is still hope of winning."

Not only him, but the audience was also very surprised.

"Good heavens, even such violent flames can't hurt him? His defense is too tough."

"No, he was still injured. Look closely, there are many blisters on his hands. The flames just now must have broken through his defenses, but the damage was minimal."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Li Chang'an looked down at the blister on the back of his hand. With a flick of his wrist, a flash of white light appeared, and the insignificant burn was completely healed without leaving a trace of redness.

Chapter 87 Defeating the Temporary Worker

"Holy crap, what's going on? Am I seeing things? How did his burn on his hand suddenly heal?"

"Are you seeing things? You've recovered. As soon as the white qi passed by, the wound healed. With such strong defense and such strong recovery, is this the Triple Rebirth?"

"Compared to the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique, I'm more curious about that blond guy's methods. If I'm not mistaken, that flame just now was a unique technique of the Fire Virtue Sect, right? In such a short time, this blond guy used three completely different techniques in succession: the Divine Mask, Ancient Tricks, and the Fire Virtue Sect. Which sect does he belong to?"

"Didn't you hear him say it was from the company?"

"Even companies need to have a school of thought, right?"

The people around him were talking amongst themselves. Zhuge Qing looked at the stage and frowned slightly.

"What are your thoughts?" Zhuge Gong asked Zhuge Qing.

Zhuge Qing shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to see some characteristics of the Reverse Life Triple Realm from a few matches, but after watching them, I found that it has no characteristics at all."

Zhuge Gong said, "It does have no special features, but do you know why the Triple Rebirth Technique is universally recognized as the ultimate skill in the world?"

"Why?" Zhuge Qing asked.

Zhuge Gong said, "Because no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat those Sanyi Sect members who defy fate. Even a thunderous strike that could shatter you and me to pieces might leave them completely unharmed."

"Moreover, once they start practicing, even if their bodies are seriously injured, as long as they continue to regenerate, they can recover at an extremely fast speed."

"Those blisters were just a drop in the ocean. If one's Reverse Life Realm is high enough, even if an arm is cut off or even severed at the waist, it can be quickly restored."

"So powerful?" Zhuge Qing was startled and looked at the stage: "Judging from this, that blond guy is bound to lose. Although his methods are varied, they are all relatively basic and he doesn't have any decisive moves."

Zhuge Gong nodded: "That's right, being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none is that's the biggest problem with that blond kid!"

On stage, Wang Zhenqiu kept using clones to disrupt the line of sight, using the Somersault Cloud to create distance, and then using fire to launch long-range attacks.

In fact, he was also very skilled in close combat, but he had no idea what to do against Li Chang'an.

He tested it at the company; his golden cudgel could withstand bullets when swung, but it was shattered by a single slap from Li Chang'an.

How much strength does that take? What's the difference between fighting him hand-to-hand and fighting a dump truck?

He's not that stupid.

Wang Zhenqiu once again used his somersault cloud to create distance and flew to the other end of the ring.

But just as he was flying halfway through, he caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.

"His running speed is actually comparable to my Somersault Cloud?!"

Wang Zhenqiu was terrified and hurriedly swung his golden cudgel backward to try to block, but Li Chang'an grabbed it.

Then, Li Chang'an grabbed the golden cudgel and charged straight in, instantly closing in on Wang Zhenqiu.

Those eyes, radiating white light, almost pressed against Wang Zhenqiu's forehead.

Wang Zhenqiu tried to dodge, but it was too late. Li Chang'an grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up like a chick.

"I give up! I give up! I surrender!"

Wang Zhenqiu grabbed Li Chang'an's wrist, his legs kicking wildly in mid-air.

Wang Zhenqiu had already admitted defeat, so Li Chang'an didn't make things difficult for him and let go of him.

As soon as they landed, Wang Zhenqiu pounced on Li Chang'an, grabbing his legs and looking up at him with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Chang'an, no, Brother Chang'an, Elder Brother Chang'an, your Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is so cool! Can you teach me?"

"Teaching just a little bit is fine, just one level is enough, I'm not greedy. I'll be your slave, I'll serve you tea and water."

"I can also perform crosstalk, magic tricks, opera, and massage. I won't let go until you agree."

"..."

Li Chang'an was dumbfounded when he saw the person hanging on his leg.

This guy's way of doing things is just too unpredictable; he really didn't expect this situation.

The audience was stunned. Just moments ago, that blond guy had Li Chang'an running all over the place, how did he lose in the blink of an eye?

The defeat was so decisive and clean, and the subsequent developments are a bit strange.

Why did they suddenly start clinging to a big shot after losing?

Could it be that this kid acquired all those messy skills through such begging?

Isn't that a bit too shameless?

Is this really how company employees behave? Such undignified behavior after losing.

The company employees present felt ashamed upon witnessing this scene.

Lu Jin ignored Wang Zhenqiu, who was still causing a ruckus on stage, and asked Li Chang'an, "Chang'an, how are you feeling now? Is your internal energy depleted? Can you continue?"

Although he really wanted Li Chang'an and Zhang Lingyu to have a real fight and get back at Li Chang'an for what he lost back then, he would never force Li Chang'an if he was too exhausted.

"I'm doing well now and can continue," Li Chang'an said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned sharply to look at the old master: "Old man, did you hear me? Hurry up!"

Seeing this, the old celestial master stopped teasing Lu Jin and turned to look at Zhang Lingyu:

"Lingyu, I heard from your senior brother Rongshan that you have made some progress in golden light and talismans recently. Why don't you go up and have a match with Li Chang'an? Remember, use as much force as you can, and don't hold back at all."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly turned to Zhang Lingyu.

"It's finally about to start! Longhu Mountain versus Sanyi Sect. I heard that when Elder Lu competed with the Old Celestial Master before, he was beaten to tears by the Old Celestial Master. Elder Lu has always wanted to get revenge. This is a match of grudges."

"I wonder if Master Lingyu can make Li Chang'an cry, just like the Old Celestial Master made Elder Lu cry?"

"That's probably not going to work. Li Chang'an doesn't seem like someone who cries easily, but I think Master Lingyu can definitely defeat him."

"It's hard to say. Li Chang'an's strength just now was a bit too great. Although Zhang Lingyu is a disciple of the Celestial Master, he probably hasn't been granted the Thunder Technique yet. Without the Thunder Technique, I don't think his methods can gain any advantage against the Reverse Life of the Sanyi Sect."

A murmur arose from the crowd.

Everyone is looking forward to Zhang Lingyu's performance.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, Zhang Lingyu's expression turned solemn. All his previous worries were suppressed. He silently recited in his heart, "I must not let my master down in this competition."

He stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Zhiwei: "Yes, Master."

Then, he straightened his pure white Taoist robe and walked steadily toward the martial arts stage.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Wang Zhenqiu was still clinging tightly to Li Chang'an's leg, shamelessly begging:

"Brother Chang'an! Your skills are amazing, please pass them on to me!"

"Brother Chang'an, you've played several matches in a row. Are you feeling sore and tired?"

"How about I give you a massage first?"

"Let me tell you, this is my specialty. Everyone I've massaged raves about it, saying they feel like they're floating on air!"

Chapter 88 Showdown with Zhang Lingyu

Li Chang'an looked down at the creature clinging to his leg like an octopus, feeling speechless. He was indeed not very good at dealing with this kind of stubborn person.

Li Chang'an sighed helplessly: "I'm just a disciple of a sect. I can't make decisions about teaching techniques. You'll have to go find my master."

As he spoke, Li Chang'an pointed to Lu Jin below the stage: "Look, do you see him? He's the one sitting at the main table. Go give him a massage and ask him for some pointers!"

Wang Zhenqiu looked at Lu Jin in the direction the finger was pointing.

Lu Jin was also staring at him.

Wang Zhenqiu opened his mouth, about to call out "Master Lu".

Then, Master Lu waved his hand and said, "Put it down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lin's father and Lu Linglong's father strode over.

The two men, one on each side, grabbed Wang Zhenqiu's arms like they were holding a chick, and dragged him off the martial arts stage.

After cleaning up the venue, Zhang Lingyu walked onto the stage.

As soon as Zhang Lingyu stepped onto the stage, the younger generation below the stage erupted in excitement.

Lu Linglong, Bai Shixue, and Zhi Jinhua quickly gathered together.

Bai Shixue pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"The betting has started! Place your bets now! Everyone, hurry up and place your bets! Guess whether Master Lingyu of Longhu Mountain or Young Master Chang'an of the Lu family will win this match! Quick, quick, place your bets!"

Seeing this, the surrounding younger generation rushed forward.

"I'm betting on Zhang Lingyu! A disciple of the Celestial Master, his background speaks for itself. One thousand dollars!"

"I'm crushing Li Chang'an. His defense, speed, strength, and recovery ability are all top-notch. He's a true all-rounder! Five hundred!"

"I'm also betting on Zhang Lingyu! The Golden Light Mantra is the best counter to all fancy tricks."

At this moment, Wang Bing, who was still dizzy from being drunk, also came over. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at Zhang Lingyu and Li Chang'an on the stage, and in his mind, Li Chang'an was definitely one of his own, so what was there to think about?

He slammed a bank card on the table with a flourish, hiccuping as he shouted, "I bet on Li Chang'an! 100,000!"

His heavy bet directly skewed the odds of capital allocation in the betting market.

If you bet on Li Chang'an to win, the odds drop instantly, and you earn very little. But if you bet on Zhang Lingyu to win, the odds skyrocket.

As a result, many young people who were originally hesitant took out their money to bet on Zhang Lingyu to win in order to get a high odds.
