The Sweet Scent of a Freebie

As Lu Changzhi's voice fell silent, the arena suddenly fell silent.

One hundred items.

Even for a regular job, you wouldn't dare work like that.

More importantly, what Senior Lu Yuan just said seems to be an exaggeration, doesn't it?

Having given that seemingly convincing agreement, Lu Yuan certainly wouldn't...

"Good!"

Just when everyone thought Lu Yuan would correct this statement, Lu Yuan readily nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene...

Everyone around looked at each other, wide-eyed and incredulous.

It's really settled like that?!

That's a hundred items!

Others, however, realized what was happening and looked at Lu Changzhi with immense envy.

This kid, what incredible luck!

Lu Yuan should have been here to settle accounts.

After all this back and forth, it's somehow gotten the impression that I'm here to work for them.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that we can defeat Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had already made a name for himself many years ago, and now, so many years later, his strength and realm must have reached an unknown level. Even if he doesn't go all out, his combat experience and instincts ingrained in his body are far beyond what a junior can handle.

Compared to these, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion expert who brought Lu Yuan here was somewhat unable to understand.

Unfortunately, now is not the right time to ask.

Otherwise, for him, the most important thing is to figure out why the other party was able to use Lu Yuan's Purple-Gold Guest Token.

Moreover, based on previous conversations with Lu Yuan, it can be confirmed that Lu Yuan was indeed completely unaware of the situation.

However, this question cannot be answered at present.

What they were more concerned about was something else entirely.

The "Lu Lulu" that Lu Yuan just mentioned.

The most significant connection to this name is that Lu Yuan made a huge bet, got his shoes soaked while walking along the river, and changed his surname to Lu from then on.

The fact that Lu Yuan asked such a question immediately upon meeting him clearly indicates that he has confirmed something.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so decisive, willing to give up the Purple-Gold Guest Token to fight and exchange skills with the other party.

It must be to prove something.

In that case, it's no wonder that Lu Yuan could agree to a hundred things.

For most people, such a large number of killings would seem unbelievable, but for Lu Yuan, who was willing to gamble even his own surname, it didn't seem so strange.

Sun Yi.

At that moment, he transmitted his voice to Sun Yi and asked:

"This child, all these years, has he been staying in the Land of the Four Directions?"

Sun Yi snapped out of his reverie, thought for a moment, and said:

"It's been many years, so I'm not entirely sure, but based on the information I have, they should have been there most of the time."

The expert from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion nodded, giving Lu Changzhi a deep look.

Back then, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion considered trying to win over that Lu Lulu, but his appearance and disappearance were like the wind, with no one knowing where he came from or where he went, and in the end, it was all in vain.

If this person is indeed a descendant of Lu Lulu, considering the sudden appearance of him in the Land of the Four Directions and the Prophet's divination.

This Land of the Four Directions probably hides some extraordinary secret.

On the other side, after agreeing, Lu Yuan said to Lu Changzhi:

"You name a time and place."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and said:

"Now."

Finish your work first before going to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well if something's on your mind.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded with pleasure.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion experts behind him, then said to Lu Yuan:

"I need a place where it's just the two of us to fight."

"No problem."

Lu Yuan nodded, then took out a protective array and poured his power into it.

Brush.

As the array was activated, the surrounding scenery changed along with it, and in a short while, Lu Changzhi seemed to have entered a separate space.

Beneath their feet, the area transformed into a fighting arena, with markings indicating the surrounding area.

"If you are skilled in techniques such as ambushes, I can create certain opportunities for you."

Lu Yuan looked over.

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this and said:

"That won't be necessary. I always act openly and fairly."

Lu Yuan nodded, and then asked:

What level are you at now?

Lu Changzhi did not answer, but smiled and said:

What do you think, senior?

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Changzhi and asked:

"How old are you now?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and said:

"Eighteen."

"So small?" Lu Yuan looked at Lu Changzhi, somewhat surprised.

He did not ask any further questions, but instead said:

"No one can enter the Saint Realm within the last twenty years. You are only eighteen. It's not unfair to attack you when you've just entered the Transcendent Realm. What do you think?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then readily agreed:

"I think what the senior said is very true."

He smelled it.

He smelled the allure of getting something for free.

I never expected the other party to underestimate me so much.

Lu Yuan, however, didn't notice the smile playing on Lu Changzhi's lips. Instead, he took out a suit of armor, put it on, and said:

"My current level is far from Transcendent. You will need to wait some time until my level is suppressed before we spar."

After speaking, Lu Yuan sat down cross-legged.

Lu Changzhi looked at Lu Yuan, feeling a mix of emotions.

No wonder Lu Yuan was so famous back then.

It's no wonder that this style of doing things has garnered a large following.

Because he had some prior knowledge of the matter, he did not refuse Lu Yuan's suggestion to spar.

Based on the information provided by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Lu Yuan is someone who doesn't rely on external advantages such as cultivation level or material possessions; in fact, he would even deliberately create disadvantages for himself to engage in sparring when the conditions are right.

Perhaps that is why its improvement speed is so remarkable.

However, for Lu Changzhi right now, the disadvantages created by Lu Yuan seem to be quite significant.

Time passed little by little.

Under Lu Changzhi's watchful eye, many aspects of Lu Yuan's abilities began to decline.

It's not just about realm and aura, but also about physical body and willpower. Surprisingly, it has a similar effect to how Simplification Pen weakens a person's cultivation.

The armor he wore was more like a shackle, a self-imposed constraint imposed on Lu Yuan by his own strength.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Lu Yuan's aura had already reached the level of someone who had just entered the Transcendent Realm.

He stood up, looked at Lu Changzhi, and reminded him:

"Be careful. Although I've suppressed my full strength, I still possess years of combat experience and quick reflexes. You'd better not hold back."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"Don't worry, senior."

"Don't worry about my identity. Since this is just a friendly spar, there's no need for such concerns. Just go ahead and make your move."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he took a step forward, and a Battle Intent surged from his body, with his fists radiating energy.

Lu Changzhi also took a deep breath.

He had planned to capitalize on his advantage in cultivation level, win quickly, and go back to sleep early.

But Lu Yuan's actions and gestures touched him somewhat.

He knew exactly what someone like Lu Yuan, who was keen on sparring and fighting, wanted.

Therefore, he changed his decision at the last minute.

Respect is mutual; since the other party values it so much, they should also treat it with respect.
