Chapter 87 Oh no, it's coming for me!
Chapter 87 Oh no, it's coming for me!
"Senior Brother Zhang, we meet again."
Lu Jin glanced at Zhang Zhiwei in front of her.
He hadn't thought much of it during their brief encounter, but now, facing off like this, he realized that the pressure emanating from this Senior Brother Zhang was a bit too overwhelming...
"Could it be another prodigy like Junior Brother Yan?"
Lu Jin thought to himself.
But then he thought about it again and suddenly felt it didn't matter.
So what if he's a prodigy? It's not like I haven't lost before, it's no big deal~
Perfect timing! I've been wanting to see the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion for a long time!
Thinking of this, Lu Jin's mindset immediately returned to peace.
"Young Master Lu, please?"
"Senior Brother Zhang, I've arrived."
The moment the words left his mouth, Lu Jin had already activated the Reverse Life Triple.
The next instant, he shot towards Zhang Zhiwei like an arrow released from a bow.
"Hey……"
However, just as Lu Jin was about to leave, a barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhiwei's lips.
He rolled up his sleeves, spread his fingers, and without dodging or avoiding, went straight to meet Lu Jin.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Jin's pupils contracted sharply, and certain memories etched into his DNA instantly triggered PTSD!
"Wait! That gesture...that movement...could it be...?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Jin immediately slowed down her sprint and raised one hand to protect her forehead, firmly shielding her head.
"Um?"
Seeing that Lu Jin seemed to have anticipated his next move, a look of surprise flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.
He originally intended to try and forcefully break through Lu Jin's triple reversal of life by shaking him to obtain the elixir.
But in that case, he would have no way to bypass Lu Jin's defenses and shake his upper elixir.
However, Zhang Zhiwei is Zhang Zhiwei after all. Seeing that things were not going to work, he immediately abandoned his previous idea.
hum~
The next second, a golden light suddenly shone in his palm.
"It's here! It's here! The signature spell of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion—the Golden Light Mantra!"
The moment the golden light shone, a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.
However, just when everyone thought Zhang Zhiwei would use the Golden Light Mantra to confront Lu Jin, who had activated the Reverse Life Triple Realm, head-on.
Suddenly, the golden light in Zhang Zhiwei's hand began to flow rapidly like liquid.
The moment the two made contact, the liquid-like golden light formed a sphere, enveloping Lu Jin completely. It eventually formed a golden ball of light, resembling a rubber ball, which began to bounce continuously in place.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jingqing's face instantly darkened.
"That wretched child, he still has the mood to play at a time like this!!!"
"Master, no wonder you said your disciple's protective methods are a bit too strong."
"At his age, the level of his golden light is already stronger than most of the Celestial Master's Mansion disciples I've ever seen, isn't it?"
Zuo Ruotong said solemnly.
"Sigh, this wretch's talent for cultivation is indeed undeniable, but look at how carefree and irresponsible he is, Master Zuo!"
Arrogant and dismissive, like a foolish lion, he never took anyone seriously from the start!
Zhang Jingqing replied with a look of disappointment.
"With his cultivation level, he certainly has the qualifications."
"It seems we still have to rely on your little apprentice."
"Master, to be honest, before your disciple made his move, I had quite a bit of confidence in Yan'er, but now..."
As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared on Zuo Ruotong's lips.
"Very well, let's do as you said, Celestial Master. If we win, it will be a way to make the children famous; if we lose, it will be a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."
"Um."
……
"Huh? Huh?"
Lu Jin, inside the golden sphere, looked completely bewildered.
He tried to forcefully break through Zhang Zhiwei's golden light, but although the golden light was liquid-like, it was extremely resilient.
No matter how hard Lu Jin tried, he couldn't break free and could only helplessly raise his hand in surrender.
Seeing Lu Jin admit defeat, Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and dispersed his golden light.
"You flatter me, Young Master Lu."
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm impressed. Your Golden Light Mantra is truly unbeatable."
Lu Jin clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression quite composed, as if he had anticipated all of this.
"Young Master Lu, you flatter me. I have a question for you, and I hope you can enlighten me."
"Please speak, Senior Brother Zhang."
"Why did you suddenly change your move to protect your head when you were attacking me? Did you already know beforehand that I was planning to knock your core?"
Damn! So you were actually planning to do the same thing as that Zhuge Yan guy!
No, do all of you monsters share the same brain?
Of all the people in the Sanyi Sect, and all the people who cultivate the Reverse Life Triple Stage, why do they insist on focusing on my Upper Danhuang?
Although he was inwardly gushing over Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin outwardly maintained a serious demeanor and replied:
"To be honest, Senior Brother Zhang, I was actually defeated once before today's competition by my Junior Brother Yan using the method of shaking the pill."
That's why I was prepared when I saw your movements were similar to his.
"So that's how it is..."
A knowing glint flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes, and at the same time, his interest in Zhuge Yan grew even stronger.
Not only did they both choose the same quiet place to hide, but their approaches to breaking the triple reversal of life were also surprisingly similar.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately turned his gaze intently to Zhuge Yan, who was watching the show from the side.
At the same time, Zhuge Yan, who noticed Zhang Zhiwei's gaze, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Oh no, it's coming for me!
I never intended to fight against Zhang Zhiwei, this "human cheat code"!
Seemingly sensing Zhang Zhiwei's gaze, and adhering to the principle that fellow disciples should share both good times and bad, Lu Jin immediately chose to "sell out" his junior brother.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Lu Jin is not very talented and his meager skills cannot represent our Sanyi Sect."
If you really want to experience the Triple Reversal of Life technique of our sect, you might as well go and try it with my junior brother Yan.
"Oh?"
Zhang Zhiwei's heart stirred slightly, but he still looked questioningly at Zhang Jingqing, who was watching the battle from the side.
Zhang Jingqing did not say anything in response, but simply nodded slowly.
Got it!
Zhang Zhiwei grinned, then spoke up in front of everyone:
"Brother Zhuge, shall we come down and give it a try together?"
As Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Zhuge Yan standing next to Lu Jin.
In response, Zhuge Yan subtly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, his master, Zuo Ruotong, said something that instantly killed the competition.
"Yan'er, since Fellow Daoist Zhang has sincerely invited you, then you should go down and accompany him, so that the seniors present can give you some pointers."
"..."
Since his master, Zuo Ruotong, had spoken, and in front of so many people, Zhuge Yan naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Yes, disciple obeys."
