"Lightning Strike Technique!"

Chen Feng roared, then formed hand seals to cast the spell, causing a small portion of the clouds above the Lu Family's territory to darken. Within seconds, finger-thick lightning bolts appeared within them.

At this moment, Lu Jiuyuan also responded.

"To deal with you, I'll use this move: Fireball Technique!"

The Fireball Technique, being the most basic spell in Cultivation, relies heavily on the user's Spiritual Energy for its power. However, in later stages, it's often abandoned for more terrifying Immortal Arts.

But for now, the Fireball Technique was the most suitable. Lu Jiuyuan raised his hands, and in the blink of an eye, a small fireball appeared in his palm. As he continuously infused it with Spiritual Energy, the fireball grew at a visible, terrifying rate. After just a few seconds, it was the size of a head.

Just then, a rumble echoed from the sky.

"Damn it, Chen Feng's Lightning Strike Technique charges much faster than the Fireball Technique. Young Master Lu is in danger now."

Ling Xukun's heart clenched as he saw this. The other three Golden Core family heads also grew tense, but Lu Xuan and Ling Qingping weren't overly worried.

This was because they believed Lu Jiuyuan wouldn't have chosen to use the Fireball Technique if he didn't know the Lightning Strike Technique charged faster. They suspected Lu Jiuyuan had a plan.

Facing the descending lightning, Lu Jiuyuan showed no fear in his eyes. He looked at Chen Feng as if he were already dead.

Chen Feng knew he had to strike first, as he felt a significant threat from the fireball.

"Fall!"

Instantly, a two-finger-thick lightning bolt descended directly towards Lu Jiuyuan's position. The intense light emitted by the lightning was so bright that even mortals couldn't look directly at it. Only cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage could barely glance at it.

The lightning struck Lu Jiuyuan directly. Those watching were stunned. They thought Lu Jiuyuan would dodge. To think he would choose to take the hit head-on, especially considering it was a full-power attack from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

But what they saw after the lightning dissipated shocked them even more.

"What! Young Master Lu is unharmed after taking a full-power Foundation Establishment stage attack?"

"My heavens, if I were there, I'd be dead for sure from that blow."

"Hiss, I hereby unilaterally declare Young Master Lu the strongest prodigy in Qingfeng Town."

Seeing Lu Jiuyuan completely unharmed, Ling Xukun finally breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to Lu Jiuyuan, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee Lu Xuan wouldn't unleash his anger on him.

However, after recovering, he quickly noticed an invisible barrier that flashed briefly around Lu Jiuyuan.

"Is that... a Spiritual Energy barrier that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can use? Young Master Lu can actually deploy it in the Qi Refining Stage? This is terrifying!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, compared to him, my own child feels like a complete waste."

Quan Lei stood to the side, looking at Lu Jiuyuan with envy. Why didn't his family have such a terrifying prodigy?

Meanwhile, Peng Yuyan whispered something to Peng Ziyan, whose face flushed red, but she still nodded.

"Young Master Lu is indeed terrifying. He can actually use techniques that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can employ while still in the Qi Refining Stage."

Ling Qingping sat in her seat, sighing as she watched the scene. She was at the peak of Qi Refining herself, but if she were in Lu Jiuyuan's place, she wasn't sure she could defeat Chen Feng.

Lu Xuan's face was filled with pride, his smile almost reaching his ears. This battle proved that Lu Jiuyuan's talent was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Chen Feng's eyes nearly bulged out as he stared at the scene, his face a mask of disbelief. Lu Jiuyuan's strength was beyond his imagination. How could anyone withstand a full-power attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator while in the Qi Refining Stage?

"How is this possible? How could you possibly block it?"

"Sorry, I have no obligation to explain that to you. Now, it's time for judgment. Go, Blazing Fireball!"

Lu Jiuyuan sneered and hurled the fireball, now a meter in radius, towards Chen Feng. The intense heat even caused the space on the stage to warp slightly.

Search for the novel title and you might not find it, but you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Chen Feng inwardly cursed. He had to dodge, or he had a premonition that this attack would be fatal.

Just as the fireball was about to hit Chen Feng with terrifying speed, he narrowly dodged it. Relieved, Chen Feng looked back at Lu Jiuyuan and sneered.

"Lu Jiuyuan, your attack doesn't look like much."

"Oh, are you sure?"

Lu Jiuyuan said with a half-smile. The smile sent a wave of intense unease through Chen Feng. Coupled with the intense heat coming from behind him, he quickly turned around. He saw the giant fireball had already reached behind him.

It was too late to dodge. Instantly, Chen Feng was engulfed by the giant fireball. He tried to activate his Spiritual Energy shield, but it was useless. Soon, a heart-wrenching scream echoed from within the flames.

However, the screams didn't last long. Chen Feng was quickly reduced to nothing but charred remains by the fireball.

"Hiss, my god, did Young Master Lu improve the Fireball Technique?"

"If nothing unexpected happened, then yes."

"He added a tracking function to the Fireball Technique! How did Young Master Lu manage this?"

The guests below erupted in shock once again. The four Golden Core family heads couldn't help but praise Lu Jiuyuan, calling him a true genius for improving the Fireball Technique while still in the Qi Refining Stage.

But if they knew that Lu Jiuyuan had created a martial art when he was still a mortal, they would be even more astonished.

"Hahaha, good! He truly is the young master of my Lu Family!"

Lu Xuan stood up and laughed heartily. Meanwhile, the Chen Family members, who were brought over from nearby, wept bitterly upon seeing Chen Feng's sacrifice.

"Young Master!"

Unfortunately, Lu Jiuyuan was not a kind-hearted person. Facing the Chen Family members, Lu Jiuyuan simply said indifferently.

"Grandpa, send them on their way."

"Didn't you hear me? Take them down, kill them all, and scatter their ashes."

Lu Xuan looked at the household servants and ordered, "Now that all the members of the Chen family have taken the Spirit-Dispelling Powder, even ordinary people can easily take care of them."

"Yes, Family Head."

As the Chen family members were taken away, Lu Jiuyuan turned to the guests and said with a smile.

"Distinguished guests, I apologize for interrupting your meal. Please return to your tables and continue eating."

After hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, the guests present obediently returned to their dining tables.

At this moment, Li Qingping also came before Lu Jiuyuan and said sincerely.

"Sometimes I'm really curious, Young Master Lu, what kind of freak are you? You created martial arts with a mortal body, broke through to the twelfth layer of the Body Tempering Realm with no talent, and now you can instantly kill someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage at the peak of Qi Refining."

"Qingping, you don't need to worry too much. Aren't we friends? Besides, I'm also very curious about what kind of freak I am, and I'm still looking for the answer to that question."

"But, don't many questions not need answers?"

Lu Jiuyuan smiled and deflected.

"That's true. But it's good that you and I are friends, Young Master Lu. Otherwise, if I had an enemy like you, I'd be worried sick all day."

Li Qingping teased, causing Lu Jiuyuan to shake his head helplessly.

"Let's go, let's go eat first. I'm a bit hungry too."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid not finding it next time.
