49: Chapter 49 Today I must beat him_1 49: Chapter 49 Today I must beat him_1 Mu Nanqing sat down with a dish, gently brushed her hair behind her ears, her shy appearance exuded liveliness, captivating and enchanting.

She saw Lu Chuan staring at her with an odd look and asked, “Xiaochuan, what’s the matter?”

Lu Chuan quickly lowered his head to eat, “No…

no problem.”

Mu Nanqing asked, “Who was that looking for you downstairs?”

Lu Chuan gave a perfunctory response, “Some friends, asking for my help.”

“Oh.” Mu Nanqing replied and started to continuously serve dishes to Lu Chuan.

“Xiaochuan, try this stir-fried chives with eggs.”

“Xiaochuan, try this wolfberry black chicken soup.”

“Xiaochuan, try this garlic oysters.”

“Xiaochuan, try this stir-fried kidneys”

…

Lu Chuan ate mouthful after mouthful, but the more he ate, the more he felt something was off.

Why are all the dishes my sister-in-law made for me meant to strengthen the kidneys?

Could she have confused the concepts of replenishing the body and fortifying the kidneys?

Full of confusion, Lu Chuan polished off the table of dishes.

Then he stood up and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m going back to my room first.”

Mu Nanqing was delighted that Lu Chuan had finished all the dishes she made, but upon hearing his words, she immediately looked up, “You’re heading back already?”

Lu Chuan responded, “Yes…

yes, I still have things to do, you should rest early too.”

After speaking, he hurried back to his room.

Mu Nanqing’s eyes instantly filled with disappointment.

She bowed her head, tugged at the stockings on her legs, sighed, and stood up to wash the dishes.

…

The next afternoon.

Lu Chuan arrived at the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall training hall.

The place had already gathered many people, not only members from the two martial arts halls but also many onlookers and even some reporters.

Chen Changyuan saw Lu Chuan and hurried forward to greet him.

“Lu Chuan, my friend, come with me over here.”

The two went to the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall’s rest area, the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall’s members were on the opposite side.

Between the two halls there was a huge platform, the very place where the martial arts competition would soon take place.

Lu Chuan noticed that in addition to Cao Xiong, Su Jinxiu, and the four disabled disciples on the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall’s side, there was a young man with a buzz cut, stern face, and resolute gaze.

The young man didn’t show much expression, radiated a powerful aura, and merely sitting there, he could not be ignored.

“Is that the external support the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall has brought in?” Lu Chuan asked.

Chen Changyuan nodded, “Indeed, his name is Su Zhe, reportedly a man from the war zone and Cao Xiong’s nephew.”

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow, “From the war zone, huh?

Seems like a big deal.”

Chen Changyuan agreed, “I had someone inquire about him.

They say this Su Zhe is a top elite in the war zone; in his twenties he joined the renowned Dragon Soul Special Forces of the Jiangbei war zone, not someone to be underestimated.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

I wonder how I’ll measure up against this top elite from the war zone.

At that moment, the people from the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall also noticed Lu Chuan, and Su Jinxiu, upon seeing him, frowned deeply, shouting loudly, “You little wretch, what are you doing here!”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “To represent Chen Family Martial Arts Hall in battle, claiming the title of number one martial arts hall!”

The crowd from Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall was stunned, then broke out into roaring laughter.

The four disciples wore mocking expressions.

“This guy can’t really think that just because he’s beaten us four, there’s no one else who can deal with him, can he?”

“We indeed can’t defeat him, but before Brother Su, he’s nothing but an amateur.

Thinking about competing with us for the title of first martial arts hall is a joke!”

“That’s good, though, we were just worrying about not knowing where to find an opportunity to deal with this kid.

Since he’s come straight to us, let’s have Brother Su vent for us properly!”

…

Su Jinxiu disdainfully said, “Don’t make jokes here, okay?

You’re indeed a bit tougher than my four precious disciples, but the one representing us in battle this time is my nephew!”

She walked up to Su Zhe, full of pride, “See that?

He’s a Grade 2 Grandmaster, an elite from Dragon Soul Special Forces, not someone of your low caliber to compare with.

If you know what’s good for you, scram now.

Don’t blame me for not warning you if you end up dead later!”

Cao Xiong sneered, “Don’t bother talking to him.

I also want to deal with him.

Him representing Chen Family Martial Arts Hall saves me the trouble.

Later, just let Su Zhe cripple him, killing two birds with one stone.”

Su Jinxiu found this very reasonable and shouted at Lu Chuan, “You little sod, I take back what I said just now.

Make sure you step onto the platform; my nephew is looking forward to thrashing you!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip, “He’ll need to have the skill!”

The members of the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall all snickered, evidently finding Lu Chuan’s statement laughable.

Su Zhe’s gaze fell on Lu Chuan, his eyes brimming with contempt as he blandly uttered, “A mere jumping clown, no threat at all.”

Chen Changyuan also thought Lu Chuan’s claim was a bit overconfident and let out a helpless sigh, “My friend Lu Chuan, there’s no point arguing with them.

This Su Zhe is no small matter.

Don’t let them disturb your focus and cause you to make mistakes.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said nothing.

Soon, an elderly man came before everyone and gave a brief introduction to the day’s competition, then announced the start of the contest.

Chen Changyuan looked solemnly at Lu Chuan and said, “My friend Lu Chuan, the hope of Chen Family Martial Arts Hall rests on you.

However, you don’t have to fight to the death; if you find yourself overpowered, concede as soon as possible.

We will not blame you.”

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, thinking that they were already contemplating his defeat before it even started, still not believing in his strength.

“Hall Master Chen, rest assured, today I shall prevail!”

Having said that, he leaped onto the platform.

Chen Changyuan shook his head and sighed, clearly not holding much hope for Lu Chuan.

On the other side, Cao Xiong smiled at Su Zhe, “This kid broke the arms of my four disciples.

After you defeat him, break his limbs to avenge my disciples.”

Su Zhe’s lips curled up, “Uncle, don’t worry.

I won’t just break his limbs, I intend to leave him completely dismembered.”

After saying this, he too jumped onto the platform.

Su Jinxiu looked puzzled, “Completely dismembered?

But don’t people only have four limbs?

Where’s the fifth limb coming from?”

A disciple chuckled mischievously and said, “Master’s wife, a man obviously has five limbs, once this fifth limb is severed, Lu Chuan will be cut off from future generations for good.”

Su Jinxiu came to her senses, her face flushed red as she chided, “You little rascals, making such jokes with your master’s wife, have you no shame?”

Several disciples all looked at Su Jinxiu with meaningful glances, not one of them feeling embarrassed.

Su Jinxiu also stealthily sent them a few coquettish glances, while Cao Xiong beside her remained oblivious.

On the stage.

Su Zhe looked down at Lu Chuan, coldly saying, “You’re not my match, admitting defeat now would be the best choice for you.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Didn’t you brush your teeth this morning?

You’re talking pretty big!”

Su Zhe snorted coldly, “Seeking death!”

He didn’t hesitate, taking a lunge toward Lu Chuan’s direction.

The majestic aura swept over, and onlookers trembled in their souls at Su Zhe’s Grandmaster Realm’s pressure, filled with fear.

“What terrifying pressure, a Grade 2 Grandmaster really lives up to the reputation!”

“This is an elite from the Dragon Soul Special Forces!”

“Can the kid brought by the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall really hold out?”

…

Lu Chuan watched as Su Zhe burst forth with full power, charging directly at his throat, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

“You’re aiming to take my life from the get-go, huh?”

He remained calm and rooted himself in a horse stance right there.

The crowd from the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall burst into laughter.

“This kid actually thinks he can withstand Brother Su’s attack just by getting into a horse stance, has he got water in his brain?”

“He must be here for laughs.”

“Brother Su is going all out, and yet he decides to take a horse stance; if that wins him the match, I’ll eat three pounds of crap right here!”

…

Su Zhe also found Lu Chuan’s horse stance quite baffling, and once he got close, he threw a punch straight at Lu Chuan’s throat.

Lu Chuan lightly raised his hand and instantly caught Su Zhe’s fist.

Bang!

The force dissipated, nearly toppling the ordinary onlookers who were just there to watch the heat of the action.

However, on the stage, Lu Chuan hadn’t moved an inch, simply trusting his horse stance to catch Su Zhe’s full-force blow.

The entire place instantly quieted down.

Expecting Lu Chuan to be blown away by a punch, the laughing faces of those from the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall gradually disappeared, their brows slowly furrowing.

Su Jinxiu shouted, “Su Zhe, don’t hold back, use all your strength!”

Su Zhe narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself he had not planned on holding back at all, he’d already struck with full force!

Realizing that Lu Chuan was not as simple as he thought, he immediately changed tactics, attacking Lu Chuan’s lower body with his foot.

Lu Chuan blocked and counterattacked with lightning speed, effortlessly matching over a hundred moves without being at a disadvantage at all.

Su Zhe’s face grew uglier by the second, he was convinced there was no way this guy was merely a Grade 1 Grandmaster!

At that moment, Lu Chuan backed off and laughed, “It seems that a Grade 2 Grandmaster is nothing special after all, but now I’m going to get serious.”

Su Zhe’s expression changed, so you were just toying around all this time?

Lu Chuan channeled his Spiritual Power, his fist turning into a palm, bringing a daunting pressure along with it.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm!

Su Zhe, feeling this pressure, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

This kid was truly terrifying, he was no match for him.

Should he admit defeat?

While he was pondering, Lu Chuan had already reached him.

“Take my palm!”

Su Zhe used all his Inner Strength to resist, but the strength of that palm was too overwhelming, his force instantly dissipated.

Lu Chuan’s hand struck Su Zhe’s chest.

Su Zhe was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he crashed at the edge of the stage.

Everyone was stupefied.

“My god, that’s an elite of the Dragon Soul Special Forces, and he lost just like that?”

Chen Changyuan couldn’t believe it, “He actually…

won!”

Cao Xiong stood up abruptly, clenching his fist, “How is this possible!”

Su Jinxiu’s mouth hung open, unable to utter a word.

Lu Chuan approached Su Zhe, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him, and said, “During our exchange, you aimed for my vitals at every turn, we were only sparring, why did you have to be so vicious?”

Su Zhe showed a look of terror, his teeth clenched as he said, “I’m sorry…”

Lu Chuan sighed, planning to let Su Zhe go; after all, it was just a sparring match, there was no need to be too harsh.

Su Zhe felt a sense of relief knowing Lu Chuan was about to let him go.

That’s when Su Jinxiu shouted, “Lu Chuan, you bastard, if you dare to break Su Zhe’s arm, I’ll skin you alive!”

Lu Chuan’s face darkened.

Su Zhe’s face changed dramatically, crying out, “Don’t…”

However, Lu Chuan had already channeled his Spiritual Power and slapped Su Zhe’s arm.

Crack!

The sound of bone shattering resounded.

Su Zhe screamed in agony.
