"Lu Chongwei, take the move! This is all my practice during this period!"
Natsu let out a wild the Roar sound, and his figure suddenly stood up from the ground, his fists drew two huge arcs of flames in the air, and finally merged into one.
"The secret of dragon slaying·Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade!"
In an instant, an extremely terrifying fire storm swept across the entire place.
Two spiral flames intertwined into a huge flaming blade that could split a mountain. With a devastating momentum, it struck Lu Chongwei head-on.
The onlookers retreated one after another, unable to open their eyes due to the heat wave.
"This move is quite powerful. Natsu, this kid has really become stronger."
Makarov stroked his beard and nodded.
Facing this terrifying blow that could evaporate a small lake, Lu Chongwei just stood there quietly.
His eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and even the hem of his clothes was not ruffled by the strong wind of flames.
Seeing that the flaming blade was about to touch his forehead, Lu Chongwei finally moved.
There are no gorgeous magic arrays or earth-shattering chants.
He just stretched out his right hand very casually, pinched his fingers together, and lightly punched forward.
"Bang!"
There was a dull sound of flesh colliding.
The seemingly devastating Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade, the moment it came into contact with Lu Chongwei's fist,
It was like glass being hit by a hammer, instantly shattering into countless tiny sparks and then dissipating in the air.
Lu Chongwei's fist remained unabated and accurately landed on Natsu's abdomen.
Natsu's pupils, which were originally full of fighting spirit, shrank instantly and their eyeballs almost bulged out.
He didn't even have time to scream, as his whole body seemed to be hit head-on by a train traveling at full speed.
The body formed an exaggerated "C" shape, then flew backwards with a "boom" and hit heavily under a big tree dozens of meters away.
The whole place was dead silent.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, Natsu rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and completely fainted.
"Another... kill with one punch?"
Lucy rubbed his eyes, with disbelief written all over his face.
"The gap is too big, Natsu tried his best, Lu Chongwei didn't even break a sweat."
Gray swallowed a gulp of saliva, secretly glad that he did not join in the fun.
In the crowd, Gajeel was hugging his chest. He originally wanted to wait until Natsu finished beating him and try his hand at it. After all, he felt that he was good at magic recently.
It can be seen that when he saw this scene, his iron-nailed face instantly turned pale.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and while everyone was paying attention to Natsu, he quietly took two steps back.
"Um... I remembered that there were still pieces of iron stewed in my pot. I had to go back and take a look."
Gajeel mumbled something, turned around and left, his steps as fast as he was running for his life.
"Hey, Gajeel, didn't you say you also want to challenge?" Levy shouted from behind.
"No time! The pot is going to explode!" Gajeel disappeared without even looking back.
Everyone in the guild looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
Everyone could see that Mr. Iron Dragon was frightened by Lu Chongwei's punch.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Wendy has completely become accustomed to Fairy Tail's life.
There was no tranquility like Cait Shelter here, but it was full of hustle and bustle that made her feel warm.
Every day she helps Mirajane clean the table or give some simple treatment to injured members. Everyone in the guild likes this well-behaved little girl.
That afternoon, President Makarov suddenly jumped on the bar and coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Young men! Everyone has been doing well these days, especially the heroes who defeated Oración Seis!"
Makarov's face glowed red and he announced loudly,
"In order to reward everyone for their hard work, I have decided that the whole guild will not accept the commission tomorrow! We will hold the annual cherry blossom viewing party!"
"Oh oh oh oh! Cherry blossom viewing party!"
The guild was boiling instantly, Natsu was spitting fire excitedly, Gray took off his shirt directly, and even Happy was spinning happily in the air.
Wendy walked up to Lu Chongwei with some curiosity and pulled his sleeve:
"Lu Chongwei brother, what is the cherry blossom viewing party like? Is it interesting?"
Lu Chongwei lowered his head, looked at Wendy's big bright eyes, and smiled gently.
"Magnolia's cherry blossoms are very famous. Especially the cherry blossoms at night are completely different from other places."
Wendy tilted his head. "It's different?"
Lu Chongwei nodded, with a hint of mystery in his eyes:
"At night, those cherry blossoms will turn into rainbow colors, and when the petals fall, it will be like a rainbow in the sky shattering on the ground. That is a scene that you can never see elsewhere."
"Rainbow-colored cherry blossoms..." Wendy held her cheeks in her hands, her face filled with longing, "I'm so looking forward to tomorrow!"
On the day of the cherry blossom viewing event, Magnolia Town completely turned into a sea of joy.
Before noon, the streets were already crowded with tourists coming from all over the country.
The shops on both sides of the street are hung with pink lanterns, and the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks.
Lu Chongwei led Wendy and Carla through the noisy crowd.
Wendy held a huge marshmallow in his hand, looking left and right excitedly, his clear eyes full of surprise.
"Wow! There are so many people, brother Lu Chongwei, everyone is dressed so beautifully!"
Wendy pointed at the townspeople wearing kimonos and said happily.
"After all, it is an annual celebration, and everyone attaches great importance to it." Lu Chongwei replied with a smile.
The three of them arrived at the venue chartered by the guild.
It was a large open space near the river, with more than a dozen huge cherry blossom trees in full bloom, their pink petals stacked in layers, like patches of pink clouds.
"Zhongwei! This way!"
Mirajane is standing under a tree waving.
She wore a lavender kimono today, with her long hair pulled up, looking gentle and charming.
Lu Chongwei walked over and found that almost everyone had arrived.
Natsu and Gray are fighting around a huge barbecue grill, while Erza is concentrating on tasting a piece of strawberry cake, surrounded by empty plates.
"Eh? Sister Lucy isn't here?" Wendy looked around and asked in confusion.
Mirajane chuckled and explained, "Lucy has a cold and is lying at home to rest. I heard that yesterday in order to prepare a bento for the cherry blossom viewing party, I went to Mount Hakobe to pick ingredients and accidentally caught a cold. Wendy, didn't you just treat her?"
Wendy stuck out his tongue and said with some embarrassment, "Well, I have helped sister Lucy dispel the cold, but she said she has no strength and wants to sleep a little longer."
"That's such a shame, such beautiful cherry blossoms."
Wendy looked at the petals flying in the sky and said with some regret.
Everyone was chatting and playing under the cherry blossom trees, laughing one after another.
