Chapter 131 – Interview, Mantle
Liu Dao Yuan?
The moment the voice sounded, this name popped up in Lu Yuan’s head.
He fixed his eyes and strained to look towards the location where the two spots of blue light lit up.
Through the faint ghostly blue light, he vaguely saw a pale face.
The hair, eyebrows, and beard were long, and the face was expressionless.
The two spots of blue light were actually his “eyes”, which were embedded in his eye sockets, completely taking the place of his eyeballs.
At first glance, Liu Daoyuan looked quite similar to a character in a game he had played before.
“Come closer, come closer…”
That voice that resembled rubbing rusty blades was still urging.
This time Lu Yuan could see it clearly, and it was indeed coming from Liu Daoyuan’s mouth.
“Why don’t you turn on the lights?”
Lu Yuan thought about it and took two steps forward.
Ryuudou Yuan, who had two big electric bulb eyes, froze, and for a moment it looked like he didn’t know how to answer.
Lu Yuan at this moment, however, saw-
The body underneath Liu Daoyuan’s head surprisingly had no hands and no right foot.
There was only one left leg left on all four limbs.
Even this left leg was only half a leg, and it was empty underneath the knee.
His whole person is also very thin, this looks like a slender bamboo pole topped with two blue light bulbs, looking is both oozing and a kind of inexplicable funny.
Lu Yuan did not go any further.
I don’t know if the expression that just appeared on his face inadvertently stimulated Liu Daoyuan.
“Snap-“
The two blue light bulbs that were the only source of light in the room suddenly went out.
The momentary obliteration of the light source caused Lu Yuan’s pupils to change and fall into a brief state of blindness.
However, his mental power was always in a state of dispersion, and he did not lose control of his surroundings.
However, in the next second, it was as if something had suddenly intruded within the spiritual energy radiation field around Lu Yuan.
The speed was incredibly fast!
His 16-point agile nerve reaction speed didn’t even manage to catch it, and his back had already received a heavy blow.
As if he had been viciously mortared by a hard object, the tremendous force pushed Lu Yuan to stagger and lunge forward.
“Grass!”
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but explode in his heart, but more than that, he was creeped out.
His martial arts body, which had been practicing skin and flesh, was directly sunken into his back by this pestle and mortar, and it hurt immensely.
He didn’t need to see it to know that it was definitely bruised, and his skin and muscles were severely bruised.
However, not waiting for him to ease off from the pain, his left side received another heavy blow under his ribs.
“Ka-ching–“
This time Lu Yuan even heard the sound of his ribs cracking slightly.
“Damn!”
With two consecutive heavy blows, Lu Yuan’s face became ugly in the darkness.
He probably guessed the purpose of Liu Daoyuan’s attack on himself, and with a flash of hostility in his eyes, he simply stopped hiding.
lv2 [Special Firing]!
lv3 [Absolute Focus]!
Unleashed!
“Ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching–“
Lu Yuan’s entire body rapidly expanded as if he was blowing up a balloon, his muscles undulating up and down like waves, veins popping out.
“Buzz–“
An invisible berserk aura spread out rapidly in all directions with Lu Yuan as the center.
He panted thickly like a giant beast.
The “feeling of falling water” brought about by lv3 [Absolute Concentration], however, made his mind clear and calm, just like a frozen lake on a snowy winter night.
“Hoo…”
Lu Yuan suddenly threw a punch to his right front without any warning.
The fist broke through the air, wrapped in a burst of cracking and popping sounds.
“Bang!”
This punch Lu Yuan directly hit the floor of the room.
The good wooden floor was blasted out with a big crater with a rumbling sound, and wood scraps flew about.
Lu Yuan’s left hand on the ground, expressionless, pulled his right hand out from under the collapsed floor.
He stood on the spot with his feet apart, his mental energy highly concentrated, and the whole person entered an unprecedented state of concentration.
However, Liu Daoyuan, who was hidden in the darkness, no longer seemed to be attacking him.
“Snapping-“
Two beams of blue light suddenly shone on Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and watched as the light blue hairline beams moved over his body repeatedly, as if they were doing some kind of scanning behavior.
Looking along the location where the blue beams of light were emitted.
Liu Daoyuan, who had reopened his two bulb eyes, had returned to his original seat at an unknown time.
The expression on his aged face seemed to be in some sort of inexplicable exuberance.
The kind of gaze that stared at him with an almost fiery heat called out to Lu Yuan, who couldn’t help but give birth to goosebumps.
“Hit me!”
Liu Daoyuan suddenly spoke.
“Huh?”
Lu Yuan was stunned.
“I told you to hit me, just in the state you’re in now.
Use your best attack and hit me!”
Liu Dao Yuan’s voice was permeated with a bit of irritability and impatience as he kept urging, “You don’t want to take a few more hits on your body, do you, boy?”
The essence in Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered for a moment.
Quickly taking a deep breath.
“As you wish.”
“Boom!”
In the next second, the entire floor beneath Lu Yuan exploded and collapsed .
His huge body appeared steeply as if he had instantly moved a few meters in front of Liu Daoyuan’s immediate vicinity.
The arm as thick as a python was raised high.
Aimed at Liu Daoyuan’s body, which was like a bamboo pole.
lv2 [Special Power] Variable Segment Power!
lv1 [Crane Power]!
lv1 [Crane Shadow Floating]!
A trace of mysterious qi energy erupted between the collision of muscles and membranes.
The fist pressed down.
Under the blue light source, a circle of blue-white air waves visible to the naked eye were squeezed out.
In his mind, a spiritual crane soared into the air, its cry piercing through clouds and cracking rocks.
The hair on Liu Daoyuan’s face was blown in all directions by the terrifying fist wind, but he did not have the slightest intention of dodging, the corners of his mouth held a smile, instead, it was like he was eagerly looking forward to something.
“Boom!”
Lu Yuan’s punch struck Liu Daoyuan’s parched torso solidly.
With the addition of Crane Power, the sheer power of this punch might have been far more than three tons.
Lu Yuan was almost confident that he could directly hammer a small light cargo and flip it over. However, when this kind of terrifying power hit Liu Daoyuan’s body, there was not even the slightest ripple.
On the contrary, it was Liu Daoyuan’s entire body that suddenly became agitated, his long eyebrows and beard standing up in a messy manner, his mouth opened and he let out a piercing and extremely loud laugh.
“Good good good!”
“The Palace of Meat! It really is the Palace of Meat!”
“Kid, from now on, you’ll be the sole successor of my Crane Sect’s mantle!”
Lu Yuan was stunned, before he could react.
“Splat.”
Before his eyes, he completely lost Liu Daoyuan’s figure, and then the darkened arena. Suddenly, the light shone brightly.
“It’s the Palace of Flesh, all right.”
Inside the examination room, a group of pro-transmitters stood in front of the video projection, staring intently at the image framed on the screen, a strange light flowing out of everyone’s eyes.
“Innate muscle mastery, incredible fleshly strength.
Flesh and blood are as gorgeous and magnificent as a palace created in heaven”
The hideous and muscular Lu Yuan in the framed image fell in the eyes of the group of pro-transmitters, but it was as if it was a heirloom painting left behind by a world-class master.
Every line was filled with thrilling beauty.
“. I remember when the Hundred Refinement Sect produced a Palace of Flesh, right?
In ten years’ time, he hardened the Hundred Refinement Sect, an originally third-rate sect, and brought it to a first-rate, near-top level.
It is said that at his peak, he even dared to fight a master, and could tear rainbow steel with his bare hands.
It’s a pity that he acted too arrogantly and got into trouble with the officials, and as a result, he was besieged to death by a dozen or so mechs.”
Someone sighed, suddenly paused and added a sentence.
“I didn’t expect that my Crane Sect would also have the chance to welcome a talented person with such a talent!”
These words caused the bodies of the rest of the people to vibrate slightly.
And then a certain inexplicable look emerged on all of their faces.
It was as if
associating something with it.
“The five legendary talents of the martial arts world.
Abyss of Skin, Palace of Flesh, Mountain of Bones, Five Viscera Immortal and Brain Avatar .
Either way, they are all treasures that are hard to find in the world.”
Someone murmured and whispered, “This Lu Yuan possesses the Palace of Flesh and has realized the true power of my Crane Sect’s Fist Technique after only three months of practicing martial arts”
“And it’s still an arcane true technique comprehended through the Pile Technique.”
The short-haired woman suddenly opened her mouth and asked Lin Zhiqin who was beside her, “Am I right, Master Lin?”
Lin Zhiqin was in a daze when he heard the short-haired woman’s words and came back to his senses, subconsciously nodding his head, “Yes, Lu Yuan’s True Feats were comprehended from within the Basic Pile Technique, but what was comprehended in the first place was just a little bit of skin .”
“Hiss…”
There was another intake of breath in the arena.
Each face moved.
To be able to comprehend the Aoi True Technique that represented the core of a sect’s inheritance with just the Pile Technique, even if it was only a fraction or two of the skin, it was a clear indication that Lu Yuan’s perception in martial arts was not bad.
Coupled with the talent of the Palace of Flesh, this qualification couldn’t even be described as demonic anymore.
Even if it was the one who had been sentenced to escape from the division in the first place.
Compared to the Lu Yuan in front of him, he also seemed mediocre and unusual.
After a short period of shock and silence, someone finally spoke up, ”Teacher Lin has recruited such a good talent and beauty for the sect this time, the teacher will definitely reward him.
In advance, congratulations to Senior Brother Lin for returning to the ranks of the Progenitors.”
“Senior brother Lin came to meet me for tea when he had time.”
“Senior brother Lin.”
The crowd of pro-transmissionists greeted Lin Zhiqin one after another, temporarily mending their relationship.
One by one, they were filled with complexity.
Among them, Qin Feng was probably the most extreme one.
He and Lin Zhiqin were in the same Jiao Yan, a martial arts school.
Lu Yuan had seen him back and forth an unknown number of times when he was furthering his studies at the Source Martial Arts School.
But it was such a demonic genius under his nose that he had managed to ignore the past, he had really practiced martial arts blindly.
“Lin Lin…”
Qin Feng opened his mouth several times at Lin Zhiqin, but didn’t know what to say, and finally turned away with a depressed expression.
The crowd of pro-transmitters left one after another with their respective elected candidates.
The ebony-haired middle-aged man who had been turning his back to the crowd and remaining silent was considered the last one.
He watched the entire video alone, and then turned around, his face unable to tell if he was happy or angry as he gently patted Lin Zhiqin’s shoulder.
Said, “Senior brother Lin has suffered in the outside world all these years.”
When the figure of the ebony-haired middle-aged man also disappeared at the entrance of the examination room.
Inside the large arena, only the bewildered Lin Zhiqin, and the short-haired woman were left.
“Senior brother Lin.”
The short-haired woman opened her mouth and called out to Lin Zhiqin.
Lin Zhiqin looked up at the sound, looked at the woman fixedly, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, “Senior Sister. I am, really don’t know.”
The short-haired woman was stunned at her words and suddenly smiled.
“I understand.”
And then turned her head to look at a certain teenager in the video screen and said in a low voice, “Who would have thought?
You didn’t think of it, I didn’t think of it, second senior brother didn’t think of it
Even teacher definitely didn’t think of it ah .”
The light that suddenly turned on was a bit harsh.
Lu Yuan lifted his hand up and blocked it in front of his face, squinting for a while before slowly adapting to the light in the room.
The entire arena was thoroughly presented in front of him.
It was just as he expected.
Empty, and huge.
There was almost nothing in the arena except for a chair placed in front of him.
There were a few collapsed and broken floors not too far away, and wooden planks of wood were scattered on the ground around them.
Ryuudou Yuan had disappeared.
Lu Yuan scanned around.
He found that the closest door to the chair in front of him was tens of meters away.
It was unknown how Liu Daoyuan, who was like a human stick, had disappeared into thin air.
“Strange, temperamental, crazy old monster!”
Lu Yuan sank his face and labeled Liu Daoyuan in his heart.
This “interview” experience had left him in a bad mood.
Lu Yuan dispersed the muscle control of [Special Power], and his swollen body returned to its normal size.
The left ribs and the two spots on his back where he was beaten are still faintly painful.
While adjusting his recovery, Lu Yuan recalled the words that Liu Daoyuan had just said out loud with a big smile.
“What is that Palace of Flesh?”
“Why is he so happy as if he won the lottery.”
