Chapter 1111: Chapter 685: Divine Might Captures the Tiger, Beloved Ones, and Mysteries of the Snow Mountain!
"This humble Daoist can act as a stepping stone for everyone."
Everyone’s eyes lit up, unanimously praising Master Lu of Wudang for his noble intentions!
"However... this humble Daoist requires a small offering from everyone. Not greedy, just two hundred million will do."
"..."
"Damn it..."
"Hmm? Fellow Daoist Meng has mastered the core teachings of True Martial and inherited the [Demon Slayer Divine Power Lineage], making him a core member among our secular Wudang disciples.
He is also my beloved friend, my brother of blood and kin!"
Someone sneered:
"So we have to give you money?"
Lu Xiaoyao said with a straight face and a cheeky smile:
"It’s a gift of apology for my good brother, I won’t take a single penny!"
"...shameless."
Of course, everyone said this only in their hearts, not aloud.
It’s just two hundred million, with so many people present, everyone contributing a little, it’s a small matter.
A wealthy guest was the first to transfer the money to him, and as the stirring music played, Lu Xiaoyao nodded and said decisively:
"This humble Daoist chooses to challenge, to challenge Meng Chuan, the Overlord of seat number six."
In the distance, seated on the number two Overlord seat which was three seats away from number six,
Wang Chongyi, who was meditating, opened his eyes, looked at his junior brother Lu Xiaoyao, and silently shook his head.
Before going down the mountain, Headmaster Chen Tuan had mentioned Meng Chuan to him several times, but he hadn’t taken it to heart.
Now, after three matches, Wang Chongyi finally began to take Meng Chuan a bit seriously.
"Truly remarkable... The demon-slaying divine power he possesses hasn’t even shown its prowess yet, junior brother Lu might suffer..."
But he didn’t give much of a warning, as suffering is a blessing. Who told this junior brother to be so greedy...
...
Meng Chuan opened his eyes once more, surveying his surroundings.
He had long been accustomed, without the slightest discomfort.
Even...
He secretly brought his physical body in, besides his soul, to enhance his combat proficiency.
[Transcendence] activated quietly, without drawing anyone’s attention.
After the previous three matches, he had become familiar with the rules of the spiritual realm, which made him confident to act in this way.
Though physical damage might affect his body upon return.
But making him suffer damage, relying on those in the competitors’ seats still posed quite a challenge...
Snowflakes fell from the sky, accumulating thickly underfoot, burying Meng Chuan’s calves.
He gazed into the distance, where the snow buried the distant mountains, painting everything in a silvery white, silent all around.
[Extreme Cold Sky], Meng Chuan was quite familiar with it.
He lightly raised his hand, shattering the flock of bats flying towards him from afar.
Even these little things were exactly the same as when he encountered them in the last supernova tournament finals.
The snow melted into raindrops three yards around him, as it dripped to the ground. Meng Chuan stretched and flexed his limbs to invigorate his body, stepping towards the snow-covered mountain before him.
The surroundings were as silent as death, his opponent had long hidden in the mountain, playing a game of hide and seek with him...
...
Far away at Wudang Mountain.
Bang!
Chen Tuan slammed the teacup in his hand onto the tea table, looking at the [Yun Tai Guan Miao True Monarch] standing beside him, saying nothing.
The True Monarch is a title for the fourth limit sages in the Daoist school.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed, watching Lu Xiaoyao, who was digging a hole in the mountain to bury himself, feeling a nameless fury rising in his heart.
Lu Xiaoyao was his direct disciple, and this act made the True Monarch lose face to some extent.
"Headmaster, when this misbehaving disciple of mine returns, I will certainly discipline him a hundred times over with the law-stick..."
Chen Tuan pointed at the converged number in the official live channel, as Yun Tai Guan Miao True Monarch counted the zeros, instantly understanding why the usually mild-mannered headmaster was so angry.
The official live channel had nearly 1.5 billion people watching.
And counting the overseas live channels and streaming platforms, the number would probably reach three billion...
With such a large audience witnessing Lu Xiaoyao’s actions, was it not tarnishing Wudang’s reputation...
The comment section was already flooded.
Eeveryone was saying ’Vertical Earth Turtle Light’ Lu Xiaoyao, practiced Black Tortoise Divine Skill and went into the mountain to hibernate like a turtle...
Lu Xiaoyao had cultivated the Turtle Breath Secret Technique, which could block perception, thinking his hiding was flawless.
But in reality...
Chen Tuan shook his head helplessly, and said:
"The accumulation of reputation relates to the fortune of martial arts, you are usually too indulgent with your disciples.
Our Wudang disciples can only stand to die, but not kneel to live. Look at how Xiaoyao acts, relying on his high martial arts talent, spoiled by you over time.
But fortunately, Meng Chuan, this kid, is actually very smart. He will quickly understand that Lu Xiaoyao’s actions are shaming Wudang, and quickly deal with him, saving us from embarrassment."
Yun Tai Guan Miao True Monarch’s face turned red and white alternately, only able to nod heavily.
Who wouldn’t want their disciple to win?
But Lu Xiaoyao chose to be a cowardly lizard, a shrinking turtle.
There was nothing he could do, just wait for this little punk to come back to face punishment...
...
Countless people worldwide were watching this challenge match, whether martial arts families, ordinary people, or the experts within the ’Drop’ venue, all focused their attention on the screen.
Focusing on the image of Lu Xiaoyao digging a hole...
"This kid..."
Gold commentator Wang Yang was speechless, not even knowing how to commentate.
Chen Biao hid for ambush, but Lu Xiaoyao’s actions were clearly evasion...
The director seemed unable to watch either, after a few breaths, switched Meng Chuan’s first and third perspectives to the screen’s center, leaving just a small corner for Lu Xiaoyao.
"Ahem, let’s focus our attention on Meng Chuan, the Overlord. Just like in the previous three matches, he has proactively started searching for the opponent, and at this moment, he has already stepped into the snow mountain, it seems that the extreme cold weather doesn’t affect his body at all, he..."
Wang Yang followed Meng Chuan’s steps, beginning the commentary.
In the live channel, many people were cheering for Meng Chuan, urging him to quickly deal with ’Vertical Earth Turtle Light’...
