Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 76: Huang Yi

"If you lose, you have to silently leave while giving me your daughter's hand in marriage. How about we forget everything and become friends?" Lu Zhen said, a friendly smile plastered on his face as he disregarded the man's words.

The man's expression transformed from a sneer to sheer astonishment as he glanced at his father.

"Yin'r should be able to face him; after all, he has already reached that realm," Huang Kai thought to himself, calculating the possibilities. He reluctantly nodded with clenched fists.

"If we were in our territory, I would have torn that bastard to pieces, consequences be damned, even if it meant starting a war with the Lu family," he declared, his anger evident as he gazed at Lu Zhen.

As the patriarch of the Huang family, Huang Kai had not been subjected to such mockery in ages. Those who had disrespected him in his early years had long since become fertiliser for Mother Nature.

Although he was initially taken aback by Lu Zhen's towering stature, he couldn't care less, especially since those valuable items were in Lu Zhen's possession.

"Don't kill him, Yin'r," Huang Kai sent a voice transmission, nodding his head in confirmation.

Upon receiving his father's approval, a sneer appeared on Huang Yin's face as he approached Lu Zhen.

"Should we intervene, dear?" Father Lu frowned and sent a voice transmission to Mother Lu.

"No," Mother Lu shook her head, watching silently. "My son can never be a coward. He needs to face things like a man," she thought to herself. However, she was prepared to take immediate action if anything went awry, even if she had to confront the Huang family.

"Do you really think that just because you got lucky and killed a martial trainee, you're powerful?" Huang Yi sneered, shaking his head.

"Oh, how interesting. Aren't you also a martial trainee?" Lu Zhen watched Huang Yi approach him, completely relaxed and casual.

"This..." Huang Yi's face flushed red with embarrassment, and it seemed like he might spit fire at any time due to his anger.

Observing this, Lu Zhen mused to himself, "The Huang family is really a family of hotheads, huh?"

"You'll find out if I'm a martial trainee or not," Huang Yi sneered as he suddenly released his aura, causing everyone below the third stage martial realm to feel a bit hazy in their minds.

"This..."

"How terrifying."

"This aura might be a third-stage martial artist."

The elders shook their heads when they heard their children's reactions.

"No, it's not at the Third-stage martial realm yet, but it's very close," one of the elders stood up and said to the others.

Seeing this, Mother Lu frowned a little, while Huang Kai smirked.

"No, he should be a half-step third-stage martial artist," Mother Lu said aloud as she stared at Huang Kai.

Sighing, Father Lu was about to make a move, but Mother Lu still shook her head, remaining silent.

"He should be able to contend with him if he went Vulgrith form, but it can't be done here, so I'll let him gain experience until he's about to turn into his Vulgrith form. Only then will I step in," Mother Lu thought as she planned everything.

"So, Lu Zhen, how about you give up now?" Huang Yi smirked.

"Why would I? Are you an idiot?" Lu Zhen gave Huang Yi a strange look.

"Eh, you aren't affected by my aura?" Huang Yi was slightly shocked.

"This aura won't affect even a chicken," Lu Zhen replied nonchalantly.

"Alright, how about we fight already? I have more important things to do," Lu Zhen impatiently waved his hands.

"You're gonna regret this, you bastard."

Visible veins popped in Huang Yi's head as his eyes turned to pure red due to his anger as his steps quickened to an exaggerated degree, reaching Lu Zhen in a matter of seconds.

"Ignis fist," Huang Yi roared with fury, his fist igniting into flames as he unleashed a blazing punch aimed straight at Lu Zhen's chest.

Lu Zhen, seemingly unfazed, stood his ground and allowed the fiery punch to strike him directly.

Huang Yi's confidence surged as he saw lu zhen unable to move because he mustn't be able react.

"This should severely injure you, you bastard," he thought as his fiery fist connected with Lu Zhen's chest. But the instant his fists collided with lu zhen's chest, a resounding crack echoed through the air.

"Ah!"

A painful scream erupted as a billowing cloud of smoke enveloped both Lu Zhen and Huang Yi.

Seeing this, Mother Lu's eyes lit up with astonishment, while Father Lu wore a strange expression on his face. Huang Kai's face twisted into a strange frown.

On the sidelines, Lu Yuan looked confused as the smoke covered the area. He turned toward his father with questioning eyes. However, his father just shook his head and sent a voice transmission.

"I don't know," Lu Yuan heard this, but he pretty much knew the result already, so he didn't care much now. "He could only blame himself for it."

The other descendants and the elders also had the same understanding. Some shook their heads, while others gleamed in Lu Zhen's misfortune.

The dust slowly lifted. However, once it did, everyone's eyes widened with astonishment. Huang Yi was writhing on the ground in pain as he clutched his hand, while Lu Zhen stood still without making a move.

"No… I am not convinced," Huang Yi roared in anger as he struggled to stand up and attacked Lu Zhen once more.

"Oh, you're not convinced? Then I will make you convinced," Lu Zhen sneered as he took a step forward. Huang Yi's eyes widened as Lu Zhen reached him in just a single step.

"Here, take this," Lu Zhen flicked his middle finger against Huang Yi's forehead. Suddenly, Huang Yi felt chills down his spine, but as he was on the ground, he couldn't dodge.

As Lu Zhen's finger connected with Huang Yi, he was instantly flung into the air and crashed directly into the wall.
