“It’s said that Lu Sheng defeated Chao Qian in one move. Looks like Lu Sheng is going to win this round.”
“Not necessarily. No one expected Lu Sheng to suddenly attack in the morning. Chao Qian was caught off guard …”
There was a lot of discussion below the stage.
Lu Sheng found it interesting.
He copied Chao Qian’s action in the morning. He placed his right palm on his neck and slowly made a throat-slitting motion toward Chao Qian.
“I’m going to kill you!”
Chao Qian’s eyes were spitting fire. He almost couldn’t help but pounce on Lu Sheng. The aura around him surged like waves.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I’ll let you kill me.”
The group of people left the stage after drawing lots.
Perhaps the organizers had arranged it on purpose.
The grudge battle between Lu Sheng and Chao Qian was specially scheduled for the last round.
The first round was between Wen Jingyan of the First Sage Martial University. He was unlucky to face the other of the Twin Stars —Divine Star Qi Yue.
It was that handsome young man who always liked to look at people with a sneer.
“Don’t worry about the result. Just fight with all your strength.”
The old Master of the First Sage Martial University encouraged Wen Jingyan earnestly.
Wen Jingyan nodded, but his expression was still a little nervous.
Lu Sheng sat next to him. He thought for a moment and said, “Fight as you wish. If you get killed, I’ll avenge you.”
Wen Jingyan’s expression froze. He forced a smile at Lu Sheng.
“Thank you.”
“We’re both students of the Seven Sage Universities. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Lu Sheng waved his hand casually, looking generous.
Wen Jingyan went to the stage without saying a word.
Then he was quickly carried off the stage.
The battle ended quickly, mainly because the disparity in strength between the two was too big.
Perhaps because Devil Star Chao Qian was humiliated by Lu Sheng in the morning, the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy wanted to prove something.
Divine Star Qi Yue showed unparalleled strength on the stage.
He was so fast that even the live camera couldn’t capture him.
Although Wen Jingyan had put in a lot of effort and had even unleashed his Martial Will, he was still defeated within a few moves.
The battle lasted for a few minutes.
Divine Star Qi Yue had been deliberately toying with Wen Jingyan, like a cat playing with a mouse.
When Wen Jingyan left the stage, four of his ribs were broken, and his hands and feet were all fractured.
Divine Star Qi Yue stood in the middle of the stage with a smile on his face. He looked at the Seven Sage University provocatively, as if he was declaring something.
The faces of the Seven Sage Universities’ vice-principals turned ugly, and the Seven Sages University students glared at them.
Lu Sheng was calm. He carefully counted the wounds on Wen Jingyan’s body and said to him, “What a pity. If you could be more seriously injured … I would have a reason to kill him on the stage.”
Wen Jingyan’s expression froze. He couldn’t say a word.
The battle continued.
It went on without a ripple.
The second battle was between Zhang Jue and another disciple of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy.
The result was no surprise. Zhang Jue won.
This girl who looked cute and weak on the outside exploded with incredible battle instincts on the stage.
Often, before the opponent’s attack was even launched, she had already predicted it.
It was like she could predict the future.
As soon as the battle ended, Zhang Jue hurried off the stage.
Lu Sheng looked at the girl’s back and inexplicably thought of someone from the Prodigy Training Camp.
Xia Lin.
The two of them had similar temperaments.
And they had one thing in common — their first reaction upon seeing him was to run away.
“Is it because I look very fierce to cute girls?”
Lu Sheng touched his smooth jade-like cheeks, thinking silently.
Then, it was finally his turn.

“The final match …”
The referee’s eyes fell on the two people below the stage. He slowly announced, “Seventh Sage Martial University’s Lu Sheng and Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s Chao Qian, please come to the stage.”
The crowd below the stage immediately became restless.
Everyone’s eyes swept back and forth between Lu Sheng and Chao Qian.
The cameraman in charge of the broadcast carried a camera to find various angles for close-ups of the two.
It forcibly created a sense that a great battle was about to break out.
Lu Sheng stood up from his chair and stretched his body slightly, giving people the feeling of a tiger standing upright.
He walked slowly to the stage. Chao Qian was already waiting for him on the stage.
“National University Martial Arts Conference rules, rule 32 …”
Chao Qian exhaled heavily, his voice low and oppressive.
“If you accidentally kill your opponent during the competition, you won’t be held responsible if the circumstances are reasonable …”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
Chao Qian’s eyes were locked on Lu Sheng. He said word by word, “Later, I’ll hit you hard, very hard … I hope you’re ready.”
Lu Sheng looked at him with a smile.
It was as if he was looking at something very interesting.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
The referee next to him felt the strong smell of gunpowder* on the stage. He quickly announced, “Let the competition begin.”
Then he quickly ran out of the arena.
Seven or eight cameramen carrying cameras surrounded the two of them and walked quickly.
Everyone was paying attention to this battle. Their expressions were serious. The voices of people talking unconsciously disappeared.
“I know you’re not convinced.”
Lu Sheng reached out and touched his white, firm, and perfect neck. He smiled and said, “I’ll give you enough time to transform. Hurry up. I don’t have much patience.”
Lu Sheng gently twisted his neck. His bones cracking.
Lu Sheng’s blood was running a little hot.
But not because of Chao Qian.
It was because he thought that after two more fights, the script he had written would usher in the real climax.
“What a wonderful scene that will be …” Lu Sheng was looking forward to it.
Chao Qian’s eyes quickly turned cold.
He took a deep breath.
Air trails almost visible to the naked eye appeared in the arena.
A large area of air was almost sucked out by Chao Qian.
His chest rose high, and his entire body swelled up like a balloon.
However, it didn’t give off the slightest feeling of vanity.
Chao Qian’s originally dark skin quickly turned scarlet red, and his muscles bulged one by one.
It was like a piece of red-hot iron.
There were even veins that looked like little snakes coiled around them.
“Extreme Devil Mode!” Chao Qian spat out.
A white airwave visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with him as the center.
Before the onlookers could show any signs of emotion on their faces.
“Extreme Devil Mode, level two!”
Creak, creak —
Chao Qian’s body, which had swelled to its limit, began to shrink inwards.
His skin turned from red to black again, but unlike before, this black colour carried a terrifying depth.
If the previous Chao Qian was a piece of pig iron that had just been heated red. Now, all the impurities in the pig iron had been removed.
His muscles and bones were like steel, and his entire body seemed to have been forged from pure iron ingots, giving off an extremely strong visual impact.
It was a power that could be felt with the naked eye.
Unparalleled power.
