You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"clang!!!!"

The sound of two swords clashing together rang out.

Contrary to Lu Qingyan's expectations, Lu Heng was not torn apart by the terrifying force in an instant.

It was not a close contest, but a stalemate!

"How is this possible?" the middle-aged man in black roared in disbelief.

"A mere fourth level of Body Refinement, a mere fourth level of Body Refinement, how could it possibly withstand that?"

The reason why the middle-aged man in black was able to unleash power comparable to the late stage of Body Refinement through the Life Burning Secret Technique was that his previous cultivation level was actually the sixth level of Body Refinement.

However, because he was a trial subject for the Lu clan, two layers of his cultivation were forcibly abolished.

He was unwilling to accept it, even in death.

Even if it means death, I will take one or two damned young nobles with me!

Before they entered the trial, those in charge of guarding them informed them of the subjects of this trial.

They were all young men from aristocratic families who had only been cultivating for three or four months at most!

If they can endure the trial for the duration, they will survive and wait for the next trial.

The girl he saw was able to cultivate to the sixth level of body refinement in three or four months, which was already extremely outrageous. She might be a legendary cultivation genius, making people so jealous that they would go crazy.

But the other party definitely devotes all their energy to cultivation.

Therefore, he chose young girls as his primary target.

Relying on the power of the late-stage body refinement after the outburst, and the combat techniques cultivated to the proficient level.

He had almost absolute confidence that he could crush these young men from noble families who were only at the mid-stage of Body Refinement with overwhelming force.

Since we're already at our wits' end, we should at least take something that's worth it!

But what happened next was even more shocking…

A young man whose cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Secret Realm blocked him with absolute power!

The body refinement secret realm has power comparable to that of the late stage, and the combat techniques have obviously reached the proficient level.

What kind of monster is this?!

"Damn aristocratic scions!" he roared in despair.

The middle-aged man in black, realizing he had no chance of winning, cursed.

"We two aren't from any prestigious family..." Lu Heng replied helplessly.

"How is that possible?" The middle-aged man in black, who subconsciously stopped, didn't believe it, but he also understood that the boy in front of him seemed to have no reason to lie to him.

"We are both just branch members of the Lu family."

"They probably can't be considered scions of a prominent family, can they?"

Shaking his head, Lu Heng still answered.

At the same time, he looked at the girl who seemed to be still a little stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

I couldn't help but think that even branch family members, whose status was higher than that of ordinary main family members, must still be branch family members, right?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

How could a branch family member of the Lu clan possibly possess such power?

The middle-aged man in black, who frequented the Qinghe City area, was naturally aware of the main branch and sub-branches of the Lu family.

Compared to their illustrious main family, the branch family was considered by most people to be inferior to these independent cultivators.

The middle-aged man in black had thought the same thing before.

"She is a cultivation genius, and I am a little luckier because I have a bloodline that has returned to its ancestral form."

But they are certainly not from the aristocratic families you described, believe it or not.

Lu Heng said casually.

He doesn't need to make a dying person believe him.

The reason for the dialogue was to save myself some energy.

as predicted…

"You bastard..."

A furious growl came from the side, and Lu Guhong, his face ashen, appeared.

Even with all his might, it still took him more than ten seconds to get there.

The thought of the Second Deacon's only granddaughter dying as a result of his negligence filled him with anxiety and despair.

Enraged and thrown into a state of utter chaos, Lu Guhong showed no mercy. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered and transformed into a giant hand, instantly killing the middle-aged man in black who still possessed the power of the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm.

It was like crushing an ant.

The middle-aged man in black had no chance to resist.

Seeing this, Lu Heng, who was standing to the side, felt a slight chill.

What a terrifying difference!

In the presence of a cultivator at the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm, even tigers and leopards are no different from cats and dogs.

However, he was still killed in one move by Lu Guhong, who had the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Lu Heng considered whether he would have any chance to fight back if he put himself in the same situation as the middle-aged man in black.

The answer is no!

Even with a physical body comparable to the peak of the first-tier life level, he was able to survive a single blow.

However, it should be noted that this level of attack is probably only considered a full-force basic attack for Lu Guhong.

It's not a technique from the Heaven and Earth realm for cultivators in the Qi Refining Secret Realm at all!

At least for now, Lu Heng sees absolutely no possibility of using his Body Refining Realm cultivation to contend with Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

How outrageous is it that someone could do this?

Can one achieve peak body refinement cultivation, perfected combat techniques, and a perfected "Basic Body Refinement Method"?

It's highly unlikely that it will work.

Even with such a solid foundation, breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm would likely allow him to easily crush those Qi Refining Realm cultivators who have broken through to the Lesser or Greater Completion stages.

However, before a breakthrough, a foundation is still just a foundation and is not enough for a cultivator in the Body Refining Secret Realm to contend with a cultivator in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh.

If other people knew, they would most likely think he was mentally ill and what he was delusional about.

For the vast majority of cultivators, the Qi Refining Realm is a lifelong pursuit.

This guy actually wanted to use his Body Refining Realm cultivation to fight against cultivators from the Qi Refining Realm.

That's probably just wishful thinking.

"Thank you, and what's going on here?"

After talking with Lu Qingyan and figuring out what had happened, Lu Guhong could only feel fortunate.

At the same time, I still came over out of curiosity and asked a question.

Given the help the boy had given him this time, he would help cover up any problems with the boy's demonstrated abilities.

"The ancestral bloodline reversion has greatly enhanced my physical body."

Lu Heng once again used the "all-purpose" explanation.

After thinking about it, Lu Guhong also felt that this was indeed the only possibility.

At the same time, one can't help but marvel at how outrageous it is to believe that bloodlines are atavistic.

If I had known before, I might have felt jealous, but now I feel at peace.

Having made his plans to carefully instruct Lu Heng, Lu Guhong disappeared without a trace.

He was responsible for more than just Lu Heng and Lu Qingyan.

He was in charge of all the young men from the main family in this area.

After this incident, he naturally intends to be more careful in the future to avoid such accidents from happening again.

After Lu Guhong left, Lu Heng went to the spot where the middle-aged man in black had been.

It had been smashed into a bloody mist.

With a calm expression, he found a jade pendant in the blood mist.

The jade pendant itself did not exhibit any spiritual energy fluctuations, which is likely why it was not taken away.

This may be the fundamental reason why the middle-aged man in black, as a demonic cultivator, possesses secret techniques.

as well as…

The moment Lu Heng grasped the jade pendant, he realized that the destiny event had been quietly accomplished.
