"Who is Lu Changsheng?"

"Get out here!"

A gloomy roar, like a clap of thunder, stirred up the entire Labor Peak. Countless Miscellaneous Servant Disciples ran out to watch the spectacle.

In the distance, a group of people approached menacingly. They all wore green robes, making it clear that they were Outer Disciples.

At their head stood a tall, long-haired youth.

He had a hooked nose and a sinister face, and one glance was enough to tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.

This youth was Wu Rui, the leader of the Wu Gang. He wielded considerable influence among the Outer Disciples.

"What happened?"

"Those Outer Disciples seem to be looking for Lu Changsheng. Did that guy stir up some trouble?"

"Hehe, definitely. Let's just wait and enjoy the show."

"..."

The Miscellaneous Servant Disciples began discussing among themselves. It was not hard to hear the gloating in their voices.

After all, someone hailed as the number one trash of the Outer Sect had suddenly risen to become an Outer Disciple. This naturally filled the other Miscellaneous Servant Disciples with jealousy. Now that Outer Disciples had come looking for trouble, they naturally wanted to see Lu Changsheng make a fool of himself.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng leisurely walked out of his small shabby hut.

He looked over at the group of Outer Disciples and could not help frowning inwardly. He did not know any of them, so why had these people come to trouble him?

"Are you Lu Changsheng?"

Wu Rui asked condescendingly.

"That's right. It seems there is no grudge between us, is there?"

Lu Changsheng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"There is no grudge, but you offended someone you should not have offended. So now, you need to pay a price!"

Wu Rui said coldly.

"Who?"

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

"Who? Hehe, stop playing dumb. Don't tell me you've forgotten about stealing Junior Sister Cheng Xue's treasure? Hand over Junior Sister Cheng Xue's belongings at once!"

Anger blazed in Wu Rui's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately understood why this fellow had come to cause trouble. He had been incited by Cheng Xue and had come to seize his Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron again!

"That bitch!"

Lu Changsheng's expression darkened.

He had not expected Cheng Xue to provoke Wu Rui into robbing him of his divine cauldron!

Relying on her exceptional looks, that bitch only needed to display the slightest hint of seduction for countless disciples to scramble to stand up for her.

"Hand over the treasure cauldron immediately, then come with me to apologize to Junior Sister. Otherwise, today will become your nightmare!"

Wu Rui said with a sinister gaze.

"Hehe..."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had no intention of handing over the treasure cauldron, Wu Rui's fury surged even higher. He immediately shouted,

"Get on your knees!"

Boom!

The moment he spoke, the powerful aura of the seventh level of Qi Condensation transformed into a spiritual pressure that swept toward Lu Changsheng. Faced with such overwhelming spiritual pressure, Lu Changsheng did not panic in the slightest. He circulated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art and swiftly absorbed the force.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had not knelt, Wu Rui frowned. An ordinary martial artist crushed beneath his pressure would have long since dropped to his knees like a dead dog.

Yet this guy did not move an inch!

What was going on?

"I'll give you three breaths to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I'll beat you into a dead pig!"

Lu Changsheng said icily.

Whoosh—

Lu Changsheng's words instantly caused an uproar across the Labor Peak. The disciples of the Wu Gang also erupted into heated discussion.

"What did you say?!"

Wu Rui's expression darkened. Had this brat eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall?

He actually dared to threaten him!

"Since you're so eager to court death, I'll grant your wish!"

Whoosh!

After speaking, Wu Rui immediately gripped a golden spear and prepared to thrust it viciously at Lu Changsheng.

Boom—

However, at that moment, Lu Changsheng's aura burst forth.

That powerful spiritual pressure surged out like raging tides.

Pfft!

Several Miscellaneous Servant Disciples were sent flying as they spat blood, while Wu Rui's face instantly changed in shock!

"The eighth level of Core Condensation Realm?!"

Wu Rui's pupils contracted.

How was this possible!

Hadn't Junior Sister Cheng Xue said that this guy was only at the Core Condensation Realm First Level?

Wu Rui was completely dumbfounded.

"Heavens!"

"The eighth level of Core Condensation Realm! Is this guy still that former trash?"

At this moment, countless Miscellaneous Servant Disciples were deeply shaken.

Back then, Lu Changsheng had been known as the number one trash of the Outer Sect. Even on the Labor Peak, he had been a disgraceful existence.

He had cultivated for more than ten years, yet his realm had remained stuck at the Second Level of Qi Condensation.

Yet in just one month, this guy had not only become an Outer Disciple, but his strength had also entered the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm!

Gulp...

Wu Rui swallowed, his face filled with panic. Facing Lu Changsheng, who had reached the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm, he likely had no chance of victory whatsoever.

"Let's go!"

Wu Rui immediately intended to lead the Wu Gang disciples away from this place.

"Wait! You think you can just leave like that? That's a little too naive, isn't it?"

Lu Changsheng sneered.

"You..."

"What do you want?!"

Wu Rui was deeply wary.

"You came to cause trouble for me, and you think you can just walk away? It won't be that easy. Hand over everything valuable on you, along with that golden spear. Consider it your apology for offending me!"

Lu Changsheng said with a slight smile.

"What?!"

Wu Rui's face turned livid. This guy actually wanted to extort him!

It was over, it was over—this time, they had truly sent sheep into a tiger's mouth!

"Of course, you can choose not to hand them over. But then I'll definitely give you a vicious beating, so you'd best think it through."

Lu Changsheng said blandly.

"You!!"

Wu Rui gritted his teeth.

He secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had known, he never would have stood up for Junior Sister!

"Take it!"

Clenching his teeth, Wu Rui directly threw the golden spear in his hand to Lu Changsheng.

"And all valuable items on you, hand them over as well—including those carried by every other member of your gang!"

Lu Changsheng threatened again.

"Damn it!"

"Wuwuwu..."

The other Wu Gang disciples had no choice but to hand over everything they had on them.

This time, they had truly lost even the shirts off their backs!

"Let's go!"

After handing over everything, Wu Rui led the Wu Gang members away at once like a beaten dog.

Watching Wu Rui and the others flee the Labor Peak in disgrace, countless Miscellaneous Servant Disciples stood dumbstruck. Was this still the Lu Changsheng they knew, the weakling anyone could bully?

At that moment, Lu Changsheng swept his cold gaze over them. The Miscellaneous Servant Disciples immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly turned to leave, afraid that Lu Changsheng would seek revenge. After all, when Lu Changsheng had been on the Labor Peak, they had bullied and humiliated him plenty.

However, Lu Changsheng could not be bothered to settle scores with these Miscellaneous Servant Disciples.

"Quite a harvest."

Looking at these spoils, the corners of Lu Changsheng's lips curved upward slightly.
