When those dark lightning bolts touched the powerful flow of Qi within his body, they were instantly assimilated and transformed into nourishment for his body.
Luke smiled faintly, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Yin lightning that had been raging within him seemed to be summoned, withdrawing from his body and dissipating into the air.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingyu's expression changed drastically. He never expected that his special skill would be so vulnerable in front of Luke.
"This is your last resort, so be prepared."
Luke held up one finger and said calmly.
He had roughly figured out Zhang Lingyu's abilities, and it was time to defeat him. Making Zhang Lingyu stop resisting Yin Wu Lei would be a favor he would do for the Old Master. In that case, the Old Master would probably not refuse to spar with him in the future.
Zhang Lingyu's eyes were solemn, and the eerie black lightning on the ground began to stir.
As Zhang Lingyu waved his hand, he gathered all his strength, and the Yin lightning on the ground seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, surging and gradually condensing into a ferocious and terrifying black dragon.
The dragon, its body wreathed in dark lightning, roared deafeningly, carrying a deathly stillness and despair that corroded all things, as it hurtled toward Luke.
Wherever the dragon passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind dark cracks, demonstrating its terrifying power. Even the onlookers couldn't help but feel a chill, shocked by Zhang Lingyu's desperate attack.
Seeing this, Luke remained calm and composed, a playful smile playing on his lips.
He did not rush to dodge, but slowly raised his right hand, palm up, as if to hold up the entire sky.
With a soft utterance, an indescribable, immense power of 503 burst forth from his palm, transforming into an invisible yet indestructible giant hand—the Heaven-Covering Palm.
As soon as this Heaven-Covering Palm was unleashed, the world changed color, and the palm shadow blotted out the sun, completely enveloping Zhang Lingyu's menacing Yin Thunder Dragon.
Wherever the palm strike reached, space seemed to be compressed and distorted. Faced with this power, the dragon instantly lost its former majesty and became extremely vulnerable.
Luke's Sky-Covering Palm strike was as casual as swatting a fly, yet it carried destructive power. With a gentle tap, the awe-inspiring Yin Thunder Dragon was shattered into countless black lightning fragments, which eventually dissipated into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingyu's face turned deathly pale. This attack had almost exhausted all his strength, even exceeding the limits of his body. He had been hoping for a miracle, but unexpectedly, his strongest attack was so insignificant in front of Luke.
A deep sense of powerlessness washed over him. He felt everything go black, and his body could no longer support him. He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Of course, it was just exhaustion; there was no physical harm. At most, my meridians were a little sore from excessive qi circulation, but I would feel better after a few hours of sleep.
P.S.: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! Wishing all my idols (Daniel Yanzu and Li Yifei) abundant wealth and ever-increasing success in their careers and studies!!!
Chapter 88: One Person Story: Lu Linglong VS Feng Baobao, Happy New Year!
The field was silent; everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Zhang Lingyu's female fans were in tears. Their hero had been defeated so utterly.
The fat man that Xia He was disguised as had wide eyes and an expression of disbelief. The railing fragments in his hand shattered into even smaller pieces due to the excessive force he used.
The old master sat in the stands, his gaze deep, watching everything with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He naturally knew Zhang Lingyu's strength and understood the weight of Luke's palm strike, but what he valued more was Zhang Lingyu's growth and perseverance in adversity.
Although Luke's battle seemed cruel, it was actually a profound test for Zhang Lingyu, forcing him to confront his shortcomings and learn to accept and surpass them.
At this moment, the old master finally understood why his master always wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson; sometimes losing is more important than winning.
It's just a pity that I've never lost in my life and couldn't fulfill my master's wish!
"Luckily wins!"
Master Fude, who was acting as the referee on the high platform, glanced at Zhang Lingyu with concern. After finding that he was unharmed, he announced the result of the competition.
Two young Taoist priests carried Zhang Lingyu away, and Luke returned to the stands.
After that match, Luke advanced to the finals.
The next match will be between Lu Linglong and Feng Baobao.
Lu Linglong is a disciple of the Quanzhen School. The Quanzhen School's cultivation method emphasizes abandoning all strange skills and tricks, focusing solely on honing one's life force, and its main focus is on endurance.
As for Feng Baobao, she goes without saying. In terms of life cultivation alone, she completely surpasses the younger generation, and even the older generation of masters are not as good as her.
This is because Feng Baobao has not deliberately honed her life force over the years; it's just that her internal energy circulates on its own when she's daydreaming.
As one of the four great families, the Lu family is quite influential in the world of supernatural beings. Lu Jin himself, as the sole successor of the Sanyi Sect, did not let his beloved granddaughter learn his family's kung fu, but instead chose the Quanzhen Sect.
Because Lu Jin saw the mastermind behind the massacre of the San Yi Sect—"Black-Clad Prime Minister" Wu Gensheng—he made this choice in order to protect his descendants from being targeted by the Quanxing Sect.
As the apple of Old Master Lu's eye, Lu Linglong was a little star in the circle of supernatural beings of her age from a young age. Her childhood can be said to have been spent in the spotlight. Leaders from various sects came to her door wanting to take Linglong under their wing. By the time she was in elementary school, she had her own huge fan club (it is said that the number of members even exceeded that of the student council of a typical school). At a young age, she had a great influence in the entire younger generation of supernatural beings.
Lu Linglong has a cheerful and sweet appearance, like a carefree beautiful girl, but Luke knows that his cousin is actually a person with a tragic fate.
Witnessing their mother being brutally murdered as an infant can influence a person to develop self-destructive tendencies.
When she was young, her father chose a sect, and he chose Red Flower Fairy and Vine Mountain, which only accepted women.
However, neither of the two sects selected Linglong.
Honghuaxian's fate was not destined, while Tengshan's was too smooth. Linglong even opened up the flow of Qi in the initiation ceremony and directly obtained supernatural abilities. This is a rare genius in the hundreds of years of Tengshan's history.
However, after seeing that Linglong's character flaws and strong self-destructive tendencies led her to refuse Linglong's entry into the sect, Aunt Yang, the leader of Tengshan, had no choice but to refuse her entry.
Later, in order to prevent his supernatural abilities from going out of control and to temper his character, he became a disciple of Quanzhen.
But aside from her hidden self-destructive personality, Lu Linglong is a true member of the Lu family, as pure as can be.
Lu Linglong's personality is inseparable from the strong upbringing Lu Jin gave her from a young age.
When Luke was a child, Lu Linglong dragged him to her school once and he chatted with her classmates. Many of Linglong's classmates, who had met Lu's great-grandfather, were somewhat afraid of this old man.
According to one classmate, she saw Lu Linglong fall and get injured on the road, and her great-grandfather, who came to pick her up, refused to carry her but instead led her home by herself. Another classmate recalled that he and Lu Linglong once accidentally provoked a large dog. He was terrified, but Lu Linglong bravely stood up and confronted the dog.
The great-grandfather stood silently at a distance until the big dog ran away on its own, at which point he appeared and stepped forward.
Some friends have asked Lu Linglong why her great-grandfather didn't step in to save her when she was in danger. Lu Linglong replied with a serious face, "If you cause trouble, you should deal with it yourself. Isn't that how it should be?"
From a young age, Lu Linglong had a small group of extraordinary individuals surrounding her, and she was the natural leader of this group, a "king of the kids." While her powerful influence was partly due to the Lu family's wealth and influence (most of whom were disciples of Lu Jin), it was largely attributed to Linglong's own beauty, charismatic personality, and exceptional talent in cultivating Qi.
Luke could only say that his sister was amazing.
Luke, who treats Lu Linglong like his own sister, feels nothing but pride in her.
"Look, my sister!"
Luke put his hand on Feng Shayan's shoulder and looked proudly at Lu Linglong, who was waving to the audience below.
Feng Shayan shook her head helplessly and said, "I know, I know, can you please stop patting me? My shoulder is numb from all the patting."
Are all older brothers like this?
Although she hadn't seen her brother for a long time, Feng Shayan vaguely remembered that when her brother saw her, he seemed to have a similar feeling to Luke.
Compared to the relatively unknown Feng Baobao, Lu Linglong is quite popular in the world of supernatural beings. Her fan club, led by Canglong, even put up banners and chanted Sun's name.
"Go Linglong! Linglong is invincible! Linglong will win!"
Lu Linglong, looking utterly ashamed, instantly transformed into a devilish expression: "Shut up, you bastard!"
Canglong said with a look of infatuation, "Ah, Linglong told me to shut up, so I knew she had feelings for me."
"Hey!"
Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue were speechless, and almost vomited.
Luke glanced at the fat man, his lips twitching. He thought to himself, "This fat man really has no shame at all."
Luke the Taoist had no intention of teaching this fatso a lesson. He knew his sister well. Lu Linglong might seem carefree on the outside, but she was actually very opinionated. Her family never had to interfere in her affairs.
P.S.: Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing all readers a prosperous and auspicious year!
Chapter 89: One Person's Story: Happy New Year to the Final Three!
Feng Baobao stared blankly at Lu Linglong and said, "It's nothing. Fourth Brother told me that this guy is called a simp!"
Although the great mentor Xu Si taught Feng Baobao a lot of dross, such as the Awei Eighteen Styles, it must be said that he taught some things quite well. Canglong is what you call a sycophant, and the kind of sycophant who can be logically self-consistent and is proud of it instead of being ashamed.
Lu Linglong smiled awkwardly. In fact, she had already made it clear to Canglong that she didn't like him, but unfortunately, Canglong couldn't understand human language.
Fortunately, Canglong didn't do anything too outrageous. He just often did things like supporting his fans, so she let him be, since he wouldn't listen to her anyway.
"Lu Linglong of Baiyun Temple, please enlighten me."
Lu Linglong clasped her hands in a fist salute full of energy, and then got into a fighting stance.
Lu Linglong moved with a light and agile gait, like a deer in the forest, displaying the essence of Quanzhen Kung Fu in her leaps and bounds. Her fist and foot techniques combined softness and strength, possessing both the gentleness of a woman and the power of fierceness.
His punches, each one accompanied by a whooshing sound, demonstrated the depth of his internal strength. His footwork was even more exquisite, alternating between kicks and stomps, displaying a variety of techniques that made him impossible to defend against.
503
Feng Baobao, on the other hand, is completely different. She is agile and seemingly without any rules, but she always manages to avoid Lu Linglong's fierce attacks at crucial moments.
His attacks were completely haphazard, relying entirely on instinct and years of combat experience.
Whenever Lu Linglong's punches and kicks were about to land, Feng Baobao would always manage to dodge or block at the last second, turning danger into safety.
"You're quite skilled!"
Feng Baobao is endearing, but her words reveal her admiration for Lu Linglong.
Lu Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Feng Baobao, you are also very capable."
After saying that, he moved again, his fists and feet flying like the wind, aiming straight for Feng Baobao's vitals.
Feng Baobao remained calm and easily dodged Lu Linglong's attack by shifting her body to the side.
A backhand punch, though not very powerful, struck precisely at the gap in Lu Linglong's fist, causing her attack to pause.
"what?"
Lu Linglong was slightly surprised, not expecting Feng Baobao to have such keen insight and quick reaction speed.
"Feng Baobao, watch out!" Lu Linglong shouted, her figure suddenly leaping up, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, her attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
Feng Baobao remained calm and composed, relying on instinct and experience to defuse Lu Linglong's attacks one by one.
Sometimes, one can use softness to overcome hardness and deplete its strength; other times, one can use hardness to control softness and break its momentum.
Lu Linglong became increasingly alarmed and distressed as the fight progressed. Anyone encountering an opponent like Feng Baobao would be surprised or even horrified.
Despite lacking any systematic offensive techniques, every move she made was perfectly natural and exquisite. Every attack that she thought was foolproof was neutralized by Feng Baobao in an unbelievable way. For example, when Lu Linglong just launched a kicking attack, Feng Baobao dodged it with an extremely ugly rolling motion, and then used a python-like strangulation technique, her legs flexibly wrapping around Lu Linglong's neck.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
