Chapter 307 Do You Dare to Accept the Challenge?
Lu Yang was somewhat bewildered by Xin Yi's sudden action, as was Chu Yuyao beside him. However, the two of them quickly discerned the intention behind Xin Yi's actions from her beautiful eyes.
After understanding, Lu Yang, somewhat embarrassed, clasped his hands in apology to the stunned Li Changkong in order to cooperate with Xin Yi, saying, "I'm sorry, I am Xin Yi's Daoist partner. We just recently practiced dual cultivation together!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Yi's beautiful face instantly flushed with an unprecedented shy blush. Seeing her shy expression, everyone could see that Lu Yang's words were indeed true.
However, little did they know that Xin Yi had never expected Lu Yang to publicly mention that they had cultivated together, which caused her to feel an extreme sense of shame.
Unable to resist, she pinched a soft spot on Lu Yang's waist with her fingers, hidden behind her sleeve, and spun him around 180 degrees.
Lu Yang was in so much pain he almost screamed, but seeing Xin Yi's warning look, he had no choice but to bear it.
At this moment, Yunlan's beautiful eyes were also turned to Lu Yang, ready to take a good look and see what was so outstanding about the Daoist partner chosen by her beloved disciple.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that apart from being tall and handsome, Lu Yang's martial arts skills were not particularly outstanding, but they were still passable.
In her eyes, Lu Yang was at best passable, barely worthy of being Xin Yi's Daoist partner.
only?
The thought had just crossed her mind when her beautiful eyes suddenly widened in surprise. She realized that although Lu Yang was not particularly outstanding overall, at least not as outstanding as Li Changkong, he was surrounded by a mysterious aura that she couldn't quite fathom.
This made her furrow her brows slightly, and she carefully examined Lu Yang again with her beautiful eyes. However, she couldn't figure it out in the end, so she had no choice but to give up and assume that she had just misjudged him.
The other male and female disciples of the Four Peaks also carefully examined Lu Yang. After observing him, they quickly realized that Junior Sister Xin Yi's Daoist partner was not as outstanding as Li Changkong's. This made them even more puzzled as to why Junior Sister Xin Yi did not choose Li Changkong, but instead chose this seemingly pretty but actually rogue martial artist.
Under Li Changkong's gaze, Lu Yang was also seen as a pretty boy who was only a little taller and more handsome than him.
He has a handsome appearance, but lacks his monstrous martial arts talent.
In this era of declining martial arts, being tall and handsome is no longer the standard for measuring a person's excellence. Rather, a martial artist's martial arts talent and the background behind them are the true criteria for a chosen one.
He was extremely resentful. Why would Xin Yi, whom he had chosen, become a Daoist partner with Lu Yang, this pretty boy, and directly reject him?
Especially after hearing Lu Yang's words that he and Xin Yi had completed dual cultivation, it felt as if he had been slapped with a huge green hat, as green as the Hulunbuir Grassland.
I fear that in the future, he will be secretly talked about as a green-headed turtle among the other disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Thinking of the humiliation Lu Yang, this rogue martial arts practitioner, had brought him, his anger could no longer be contained. He pointed at Lu Yang and provocatively said, "Boy, what qualifications do you have to be Junior Sister Xin Yi's Daoist partner? Her Daoist partner should be someone with monstrous martial arts talent, a powerful background, and a promising future in martial arts!"
"Now I challenge you to see if you are truly capable of being Xinyi's Daoist partner!"
"If you fail, you will immediately dissolve your Daoist partnership with Junior Sister Xinyi in front of everyone, because you are unworthy!"
"Do you dare accept the challenge?"
Lu Yang did not deliberately hide his martial arts level, and Li Changkong could tell at a glance that his martial arts level was only at the eighth level.
Although for a rogue cultivator, considering the other party's age, he was indeed a genius, in his eyes he was nothing more than trash and ants!
He has now not only reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm in ancient martial arts, but has also successfully cultivated the dual cultivation technique of immortality and martial arts, reaching the fifth level of the Acquired Realm in immortality and martial arts.
Lu Yang was merely at the eighth level of the Ancient Martial Arts Acquired Realm. In his eyes, what else could he be but trash?
The others were quite surprised to hear this. They didn't expect Li Changkong to challenge Lu Yang in person. However, they felt that the other party was shameless. After all, they had seen Lu Yang's martial arts level. How could he possibly be a match for Li Changkong, the senior brother of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
However, they didn't meddle, nor did they dare to, for fear of getting themselves into trouble. In the end, they could only prepare to watch a spectacular show with mixed feelings.
Although Chu Yuyao knew that Lu Yang's martial arts strength was not the eighth level of the Acquired Realm he had displayed, but rather a concealed strength that he could definitely defeat Li Changkong, the senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, she was still somewhat angry because of his shamelessness. She said to him, "You are simply shameless! Little Yang is only at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, while you, as the senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, are definitely stronger than him. Your public challenge is not only shameless, but also a deliberate attempt to embarrass Little Yang!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changkong's gaze was deeply drawn to Chu Yuyao.
Not long ago, when Lu Yang and his two companions entered the hall, Li Changkong noticed Chu Yuyao, a stunningly beautiful and pure-looking school beauty, standing behind Xin Yi.
Xin Yi was already so stunningly beautiful that he couldn't believe that there was another incredibly beautiful woman of similar caliber beside her.
A hint of possessiveness and immense greed flashed in his eyes. He decided that when the opportunity arose, he would definitely capture this exquisitely pure beauty and take her to his cultivation cave for a proper dual cultivation session.
After suppressing his thoughts, he said disdainfully, "Beautiful lady, if you feel this is unfair, I do have a way to prevent him from having to fight!"
"That means if you become my Daoist partner in place of Xinyi, I'll agree to let this brat who dared to force me into marriage go. Otherwise, he'll have to agree today, whether he likes it or not, I don't care about fairness!"
"After all, this world is truly a dog-eat-dog world, a world where the strong rule, not a world that values fairness!"
Feeling Li Changkong's wicked gaze sweeping over her body, Chu Yuyao felt nauseous and refused without hesitation, saying firmly, "Don't even think about it! Not only does my aunt look down on you, but I also despise a shameless scoundrel like you!"
