C10 Avoiding the Battle

Lei Lian was furious, but he couldn't say anything.

That's right, the three families had invited Lu Chen to join the Genius Banquet. If he chased him out, wouldn't that be a slap to the faces of the three families?

He suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his finger, "Lu Chen, don't be too proud of yourself. I won't let you go if you join the Genius Banquet."

"Brother Lian, is there a need for you to deal with this kind of trash?"

"That's right. I'll teach him a lesson on behalf of Brother Lian."

"Others respect him as the City Lord, but I, Duan San, am not afraid of him."

One. A burly man stood in front of Lu Chen with an arrogant expression.

He was a rogue cultivator, a peak sixth level Body Tempering. He had been very close to Lei Lian recently, and this was the perfect opportunity for him to establish a good relationship with him.

Due to the interference of the three major families, Lei Lian couldn't attack Lu Chen before the Genius Banquet started, but he was different.

"Get your ass down here!"

Duan San was very angry when he saw Lu Chen's indifferent expression. He punched Lu Chen.

Buzz!

It was as if there was an invisible barrier on Lu Chen's body that easily blocked Duan San's attack.

"Do you know Lei Ming?"

Lu Chen didn't want to show off, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't fight back when others bullied him.

"Hmph! Are you trying to say that the sixth level Body Tempering Lei Ming was crippled by you?"

Duan San sneered.

"Although I am at the sixth level of the Body Tempering, I have already activated seven of my heart meridians. Are you trying to scare me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the square exclaimed.

Even Lei Lian was somewhat stunned.

It was common knowledge that the first realm of a martial artist's cultivation was the Body Tempering Stage. It strengthened one's foundation, strengthened one's spirit, and activated one's meridians.

The other meridians could be activated, except for the heart meridian, which was very special.

There were a total of nine heart meridians. The more activated one's heart meridians were, the stronger one's potential would be. After reaching the Soul Meridian Stage, one's strength would be greater.

Normally, an ordinary Body Tempering Stage warrior could only activate five heart meridians at most. A genius warrior could activate seven heart meridians at most.

For example, Lei Hsing from the Lei family, Mu Tong from the Muh family, and Hong Yuu from the Hong Family. These three top geniuses had only activated eight heart meridians.

A rogue cultivator had activated seven heart meridians. This was unbelievable.

Lei Lian was secretly delighted. If he could recruit a rogue cultivator with seven heart meridians, the higher ups would reward him handsomely.

On the square, everyone was whispering to each other, praising Duan San.

Duan San enjoyed being surrounded by stars, looking down at Lu Chen from above.

"You, what do you have to fight with me?"

His imposing manner was oppressive as he approached Lu Chen.

"The City Lord is in trouble. I heard that Duan San is very cruel."

"That's right. The first reason Duan San attacked was to express his goodwill to the Lei family. Secondly, he wanted to attract the attention of the Scorching Sun Sect and Lishan Sect."

"I heard that the City Lord is very powerful. I wonder if he can handle it?"

The young generation in the square covered almost all the young people in the Tianhuang City.

They had different opinions regarding this.

Buzz!

On Duan San's chest, there were seven faintly discernible heart meridians, and his aura was oppressive.

Everyone was left speechless.

Only Lu Chen remained indifferent and ignored Duan San.

"Boring."

All of a sudden, Lu Chen's words silenced the entire square.

He got up and walked to another green rock not far away.

"Are you afraid?"

Duan San didn't give up. He thought that Lu Chen was scared and was avoiding the battle.

"The dignified Tianhuang City City Lord, the son of Prince Zhan, you don't even dare to accept a challenge from me, a Sixth Level Body Tempering? I'm really ashamed of you, the City Lord."

Duan San mocked.

"You also know that I'm the City Lord?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Then, is this considered offending the City Lord?"

"You... use the name of the City Lord to threaten me?" Duan San flew into a rage.

Lei Lian sneered and let Duan San go against Lu Chen.

In the pavilion, the few of them shook their heads and turned their heads away, ignoring Lu Chen. In their point of view, when Lu Chen threatened Duan San with the name of City Lord, he didn't deserve their attention.

"Wan Er, did you see that?" Mu Tong said.

Muh Wan's face lit up and then she calmed down, "Brother Tong, where did we talk about just now?"

"Miss Mu, we just talked about how to break through the Body Tempering Stage and step into the Soul Meridian Stage." Hong Yuu said.

Lei Hsing nodded and joined in.

On the square.

Duan San's heart pulse was flickering. His aura was oppressive. He had declared that he wanted to challenge Lu Chen.

"If you avoid the battle, you will be a coward, a coward."

Lu Chen furrowed his brows, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Xi came over.

The light blue long dress gave people a bright feeling. Although she was only fifteen years old, her figure was already perfect. Every frown and smile had a noble temperament.

The moment she appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's the granddaughter of Elder Ye of Lishan Sect, Miss Ye Xi."

Many people exclaimed.

Lei Xuan, Mu Chen, Hong Tao, and the others even smiled and went forward to greet her.

"Miss Ye Xi, I'm Lei Xuan."

"I have long heard that Miss Ye Xi is devastatingly beautiful. Now that I have seen her today, her reputation is well-deserved."

"Miss Ye Xi being able to participate in the Genius Banquet of Tianhuang City is truly a great honor."

Everyone surrounded Ye Xi and praised her.

Ye Xi nodded at everyone and walked straight to Lu Chen.

"Miss Ye Xi..."

Lei Xuan and the others called out, but Ye Xi ignored them.

"What is Miss Ye Xi doing?"

"Oh my god, why did she walk to Lu Chen's side?"

"Could it be that they know each other?"

Everyone was guessing.

"Why are you sitting here?" Ye Xi's red lips parted as she smiled.

"I don't like lively activities. Furthermore, many people hate me. Why should I join in the fun?" Lu Chen said.

"Do I hate you?" Ye Xi was stunned.

Duan San's burly body came in front of Ye Xi.

"Miss Ye Xi, you should stay away from Lu Chen. Such a despicable and shameless person is not worthy to be near Miss Ye Xi."

"That's right, Miss Ye Xi. You still don't know that Lu Chen relies on being the City Lord. He openly threatened Duan San." Lei Lian exaggerated, "Genius Banquet is a place where young people interact with each other. He avoided the battle. He was afraid that he would be defeated and lose the face of the City Lord. Shameless to the extreme. "

"Despicable and shameless?"

Ye Xi did not understand.

"Lu Chen, in front of Miss Ye Xi, do you dare to fight me?" Duan San challenged Lu Chen again.

"You want to challenge him?"

Ye Xi looked at Duan San and asked.

"Miss Ye Xi, this kind of person joining the Genius Banquet will dampen everyone's interest. I want to kick him out of the Thunder Prefecture." Duan San said.

"Boring."

Lu Chen didn't want to attack, but in fact, he disdained to.

"Lu Chen, you..." Duan San was very angry. He wanted to show off in front of Ye Xi and attract her attention, but Lu Chen avoided the fight.

Ye Xi wanted to laugh. It was ridiculous.

One. A Sixth Level Body Tempering dared to challenge Lu Chen, and he was so confident?

"You are no match for him." Ye Xi couldn't help but say.

Her intuition had always been very accurate. She felt that Lu Chen was not simple and hid it very well.

"Miss Ye Xi... I have activated seven cardiac arteries." Duan San said.

In his opinion, seven heart meridians were enough to crush Lu Chen.

"Let's go, Lu Chen. Let's take a look over there."

Just now, her grandfather wanted to talk to her about something, so she left first.

She didn't like the liveliness, and she felt that Lu Chen was very special. She was very curious about him.

Looking at Lu Chen and Ye Xi's backs, Duan San, Lei Lian, and the others bared their teeth.

"What a lucky bastard. He actually came into contact with Miss Ye Xi."

"Humph, hiding behind a woman to avoid a fight?"
