Lu Yuan: "You're Just as Important."

"Senior is Saint Emperor level expert."

Lu Changzhi emphasized this point.

Despite his large and robust physique, Lu Yuan has absolutely no airs of a powerful figure.

Putting everything else aside, this sincere inquiry even gave Lu Changzhi a strange feeling.

Who is actually eighteen?

"Saint Emperor my ass."

Lu Yuan took a swig of wine and said:

"Without finding your predecessor, Lu Lulu, I'm afraid it will take many years to take this step."

Lu Yuan felt somewhat helpless about this.

Having lived for so many years, only two things have left a deep impression on him and had a profound impact on him.

One of them was his encounter with Xiang Ge and his crushing defeat.

Yum! Brands itself has a very important meaning.

However, at the most crucial moment, it ended in a crushing defeat, and the impact was considerable.

That setback took him quite a while to recover.

But in the end, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

Through his failures, he realized that what he had been pursuing had changed with each victory, and had strayed far from his original intentions.

The initial purpose of sparring was simply to improve one's own skills through practice.

However, being young and impetuous, the thrill of repeated victories led him to focus solely on winning; victory became his sole objective.

Furthermore, as the number of wins increases, so does the pressure.

Looking back, it becomes clear that many of the subsequent sessions yielded little result, or even resulted in stagnation.

That crushing defeat, like a blow to the head, hurt, but it ultimately made him realize where the problem lay.

His pursuit should not be about winning or losing, but about self-improvement.

Winning or losing is important and worth paying attention to, but it is not the most important thing, and it is only temporary.

Once you understand these things, it's like breaking through a door and suddenly everything becomes clear.

In subsequent sparring matches, he would even deliberately lower his strength to increase the pressure on himself, using winning and losing only as tools to stimulate his combat abilities to improve, correct, and perfect step by step.

That was also the period when he grew the most.

Until the second thing happened, which was the battle with Lu Lulu.

If the crushing defeat against Xiang Ge was a shock, then the battle with Lu Lulu was even more of a shock.

He knew from the beginning that Xiang Ge's battles were unfair, but his fight with Lu Lulu was definitely not.

In that battle, he was like an ant or a frog in a well, suddenly realizing the vastness of the world.

It's hard to describe the feeling, but in short, the impact was far greater than the first time.

The consequences were obvious.

Changing one's surname is merely the most insignificant thing.

The Saint Emperor had a feeling that if he couldn't fight Lu Lulu again, he might never be able to take this step.

This is why he didn't care that Lu Changzhi had generously promised him a hundred things from the very beginning, and even completed the move that very night.

It's very simple; you have to follow the vine to find the melon. Even if you let them roam freely, you can't expect to never see them again.

As long as you see someone, there's a chance; it's better than being a headless fly.

"So, it's because it might be related to my ancestor Lu Lulu." Lu Changzhi shook his head and said softly.

"Not at all." Lu Yuan coughed lightly.

You are just as important.

Lu Changzhi clicked his tongue, the more he thought about it, the stranger the words seemed, and immediately said:

"Stop, stop! Senior, there's no need for us to be so disgusting to each other."

"Don't worry, senior. If I ever run into my Lu Lulu senior again, I'll tell him what happened and make him give you a good beating."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was immediately visibly delighted:

"Then I hope that day comes soon."

Mu Fan listened Jingjing to the side, secretly shaking his head:

"Martial arts fanatics are truly terrifying."

While the group was enjoying their drinks, most of the participants had already taken their positions on the field.

Although the Five Continents are much larger than the Land of the Four Directions, in terms of the composition of top-level forces, even with five continents, there are no more than in the Land of the Four Directions.

Looking at the top powers, there are only two races, one family, one religion, and one pavilion.

The two races are the Xiang Clan and the Beastfolk Race.

One family, that is, the Huang Clan.

One sect, called the Church of Light, is a force that openly uses various arts previously considered evil, such as poison, witchcraft, ghost magic, bone magic, and blood magic. Its leader is ranked last among the Ten Saint Emperor.

The first pavilion is the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

These five parties all possess powerful forces with living Saint Emperor.

Of course, besides these, there are others who, although they no longer have Saint Emperor, once did, and whose influence and strength are still not to be underestimated, such as the Myriad Laws Academy, the Zither Sect, the Heaven-Piercing Sect, and the Return to One Array Sect Formation Sect.

However, having it now is quite different from having it before.

The Saint Emperor, as long as he lives, can serve as a deterrent.

These forces, along with other forces such as the Sea Race, Xia Clan, Dark Hall, and Zhou Lineage, which have never had Saint Emperor, together form the next level of top-tier forces.

Besides these forces, there are many other forces, but most of them lack independent status and are either dependent on or subordinate to others.

Of course, within the Five Continents, there are not only powerful forces, but also lone, powerful individuals.

Not everyone likes to stay within the circle of power.

Among them, the most famous is that mysterious Prophet.

No one knows its true strength, but it seems to possess extraordinary abilities. Its prophecies have almost never come to pass, and the world's situation usually develops in the direction of its predictions. Unexpected situations are extremely rare.

In addition, there is the Saint Emperor Murong, who has some connection with the Xiang Clan, a Sword Saint Emperor who has always been a lone wolf, and a Saint Emperor with a unique bloodline.

In short, when it comes to top-tier experts, there are quite a few across the Five Continents.

Now, the combined influence of the Law Contemplation Gathering and the Prophet pronouncements has made this event unprecedented in scale.

All around, countless people watched the various forces in mid-air with great excitement, as if they knew them intimately.

"It seems like everyone who could come has come. No wonder the Academy suddenly brought up the matter of an engagement this time; it is indeed a very good opportunity."

"Yes, I imagine the prodigies from all sides will not be content with a peaceful existence, and a fierce battle is inevitable. It's just a pity that people like us can only watch from afar and cannot participate."

"Brother, end it all. Hurry up and be reborn into a better family. Perhaps you can be born into a powerful force and become a prodigy."

"Forget it, with my luck, I'll just live like this. Who knows if I'll accidentally end up in an even worse place?"

"As I say this, I'm even more curious about this descendant of Senior Lu. He's so calm and collected; I sense he's very confident. I just wonder if he'll actually make a move."

Amid the discussions

From the direction of the Academy, figures emerged from the Academy.

Immediately, the discussions from all sides subsided to varying degrees.

Countless eyes turned toward the main figure of this Law Contemplation Gathering assembly.
