Chapter 1562: Chapter 1521: Lu Chen

Logically, at this moment, shouldn’t Lu Chuan realize he’s no match and then respectfully admit his mistake, allowing me to vent some anger, and let the matter end there?

Why does Lu Chuan look so confident?

“Have you thought it through? Once you’re in the ring and get hurt, I’m not responsible!”

“Tsk, let’s hurry up and start, don’t waste time, or my roast lamb will get cold.”

Lu Chuan impatiently waved his hand and turned to walk toward the ring.

Seeing that Lu Chuan was serious, everyone became quite enthusiastic.

Disciples within the Bishui Palace rarely have conflicts. After all, everyone meets frequently, and if a dispute must be settled on the ring, it becomes difficult to coexist afterward.

But Lu Chuan didn’t care about these things; fight promptly, and once done, peace resumes!

“Please, let Senior Sister Xiaorou be the witness.”

Sun Chuanfeng cupped his hands in salute, then swiftly leaped onto the ring. His flowing white robe gave him a dashing and handsome appearance!

“Lu Chuan, come up and fight!”

“Here, here, so wordy.”

In contrast, Lu Chuan had no flamboyance. He directly walked onto the ring, and Xiaorou reluctantly acted as the judge.

“The rules are simple: the match ends when one admits defeat or is thrown out of the ring. Since we are fellow disciples, no lethal moves are allowed,”

“Hmph, rest assured, Senior Sister Xiaorou, I’ll hold bac…”

Before Sun Chuanfeng could finish, he suddenly felt weightless. Coming to his senses, he found that Lu Chuan had already rushed over, grabbed his collar, and was swinging his entire body away. If Sun Chuanfeng hadn’t quickly used his Spiritual Power to counteract Lu Chuan’s force, he might have been tossed out of the ring directly!

“You… you attacked me by surprise!”

“Who told you to talk so much? So wordy.”

Lu Chuan clapped his hands together, and with a step forward, the bluestone tiles beneath cracked instantly. Lu Chuan shot toward Sun Chuanfeng like a cannonball!

Witnessing this, Sun Chuanfeng’s face changed color, managing to drive his flying sword to block Lu Chuan, only for Lu Chuan to dodge nimbly. That large hand firmly grabbed Sun Chuanfeng’s face and forcefully slammed him down, leaving him sprawled on the ground!

Feeling the excruciating pain throughout his body, as if his bones were being torn apart and reassembled, Sun Chuanfeng’s throat constricted, and he coughed up blood.

“Is it… over?”

Watching the fight on the ring end in less than ten breaths, everyone gasped.

It’s worth noting that Sun Chuanfeng was acknowledged as the strongest in the Bishui Palace, yet he couldn’t withstand even one round against this newcomer, being utterly defeated in an instant. What kind of person is this?

In fact, it wasn’t just the others; even Sun Chuanfeng was baffled.

The power Lu Chuan displayed was beyond what he could contend with. He understood clearly that Lu Chuan had restrained himself, or else with that single move, he could have been slammed to death!

“So, it’s over? I won.”

Lu Chuan patted his hands, leisurely walked to Xiaorou, and continued, “Senior Sister Xiaorou, you can announce the result now.”

“Hmm… oh yes, the winner is Junior Brother Guan Qing.”

Xiaorou stared intently at Lu Chuan, her thoughts disordered.

So it’s just… won?

It wasn’t until Lu Chuan, pulling Senior Sister Xiaorou, left the ring that everyone came back to their senses, crowding around Sun Chuanfeng.

“Brother… Brother Sun, are you alright?”

“No! Don’t touch me! My bones, they’re broken!”

…

Lu Chuan, to be precise, Guan Qing’s name, suddenly spread within the sect.

As for the reason…

With a single move, Sun Chuanfeng was taken down, unable to get out of bed and still recuperating in his cave. Since then, no one dared to trouble Lu Chuan.

It can be said that the strength Lu Chuan displayed this time silenced all who previously harbored discontent toward him.

The funniest part was Sun Chuanfeng himself instigating this match, and after Lu Chuan’s quick victory, he precisely adhered to the stipulated rules, refraining from further action, leaving Sun Chuanfeng with bottled-up grievances he couldn’t share.

Of course, Lu Chuan didn’t care about any of this; as long as it meant those fools wouldn’t bother him again, he wouldn’t mind fighting a few more times.

After several days of word-of-mouth, whenever Lu Chuan went out, he’d be greeted respectfully as Senior Brother Guan Qing, showcasing the massive impact of that battle.

“But what’s the deal with my body?”

Despite the time passing, Lu Chuan still had to replenish his Spiritual Power through food, and the most frustrating part was his inability to connect with the Tower Spirit.

Lu Chuan could afford to wait, but could grandpa, his parents afford to?

“I must figure out what’s wrong with me as soon as possible.”

…

Elsewhere, in the Life Forbidden Zone!

Lu Chen, led by Mr. Lu, suddenly stopped, refusing to move another step.

Noticing the change, Mr. Lu felt perplexed and asked, “Chen’er, what’s the matter?”

“I… I want to see my brother.”

Lu Chen looked up, somewhat bewildered at Mr. Lu, and continued, “Grandpa doesn’t like me; he prefers my brother. I know, Dad and Mom weren’t with my brother growing up; he’s had a tough time, but it’s not my fault, Grandpa. If I could, I’d want to grow up with him too.

Grandpa said my brother came to the Small World; I wish to see him. I know my brother is amazing and doesn’t need our protection, but what of it? He’s my own brother, Dad, Mom, don’t you want to see him?”

As Lu Chen spoke, his voice grew smaller, and he couldn’t help but lower his head.

“I want to know, would my brother dislike me…”

Hearing this, Mr. Lu suddenly smiled. He quickly stepped forward, ruffled Lu Chen’s hair, and said, “Silly kid, you’re better than your parents, at least you have some warmth. Don’t worry, you’ll see him. Your brother, ah, might be more powerful than me now, and someday he’ll teach you cultivation.”

“Grandpa, when can we see Brother?”

“Not now, in a little while, Grandpa will go find him.”

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Mr. Lu’s feelings toward him changed significantly.

In truth, unlike Lu Chuan, Lu Chen grew up under the meticulous care of Mr. Lu and his mother, showered with love. Yet, fortunately, Lu Chen didn’t develop an arrogant personality; if anything, it would be more fitting if his personality were swapped with Lu Chuan’s.

Lu Chuan grew up wild, while Lu Chen was carefully nurtured.

The paths of the two brothers’ lives were distinct, but luckily, they’re both good kids.

Reflecting on this, Mr. Lu suddenly felt somewhat unsuccessful.

Looking at Lu Chuan and Lu Chen, then at what he had brought up.

Sigh…
