In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Compared to the confident Ji Baiying, Chu Jun, Qian Rou, and the others were looking at Lu Yuan with rather complicated expressions.

What they are now certain of is that Lu Yuan is not only at the eighth rank, but can also easily kill ordinary eighth-rank individuals.

Although Ji Baiying rose to the eighth rank with a foundation of copper skin, his true strength might not necessarily surpass Lu Yuan's.

Of course, they were all eager to see just how far Lu Yuan could go.

With Ji Baiying's strength, even if he can't beat Lu Yuan, he should be able to force him to his limit.

"Brother Lu Yuan, who are your three opponents?"

Zheng Xu, Zhang Hu, and Jiang Ying also arrived at Lu Yuan's side at this time.

"Ji Baiying, Liu Zaiming, Zhao Han."

Lu Yuan said directly.

He was quite lucky; none of these three were top-tier geniuses, so he should be able to defeat them easily without revealing too much of his abilities.

"Of the three, Ji Baiying is the strongest. If Brother Lu Yuan defeats him, the other two should readily admit defeat, making it easy to gain nine hundred contribution points!"

Zheng Xu said with a smile.

"As far as I know, Ji Baiying also rose to the eighth rank based on copper skin. Although his strength is stronger than that of an average eighth rank, it is still extremely limited. If Brother Lu Yuan goes all out, he should have a chance to defeat him!"

Zhang Hu nodded and smiled.

"Can I beat her?"

At this moment, Jiang Ying looked up at Bai Xiaotang, who was fighting with someone in the arena.

It has to be said that Bai Xiaotang is undoubtedly one of the top contenders for the title of Rookie of the Year.

Although her opponent in this battle was also a top-tier genius, she still seemed to be in complete control.

Although both of them displayed golden skin, Jiang Ying's golden skin was complemented by silver patterns, indicating that she had not only advanced to the eighth rank, but had also mastered silver skin, which was second only to golden skin.

In terms of defense alone, she can easily overpower an opponent who only has bronze muscles.

Moreover, each of her palm strikes contained ten percent of the essence of fire, making it incredibly lethal, easily shattering the crimson-tinged gold robes on her opponent's body.

"I lost!"

After only a few rounds, Bai Xiaotang's opponent had no choice but to admit defeat in a sorry state.

"Highly unlikely!"

Zheng Xu shook his head and said directly, "Whether it's Bai Xiaotang, Jin Wuming, or Murong Jue, the three of them not only seem to have extraordinary top-tier aptitude, but the resources possessed by the forces behind them are also far beyond our imagination, so their growth rate is naturally far beyond ours."

"Just from this battle, we can see that Bai Xiaotang's true strength is extremely terrifying. Not only has she mastered the Golden Skin and Silver Skin, but she has also comprehended 10% of the Fire Intent. Apart from Jin Wuming and Murong Jue, everyone else would have no choice but to admit defeat if they encountered her."

Zhang Hu also told the truth.

"Then I refuse to admit defeat!"

Jiang Ying, however, clenched her fist, revealing her confident canine teeth, and laughed, "My fist might just be able to punch her!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xu and Zhang Hu both shook their heads, feeling that Jiang Ying was overly confident, and even arrogant.

Lu Yuan merely glanced at Jiang Ying with a strange look in his eyes. In his opinion, since Jiang Ying had said so, it might actually be possible to do it, who knows?

Next, Jin Wuming and Murong Jue also revealed their strength.

Jin Wuming truly deserves to be the top martial arts candidate in the county this year. He has not only mastered the Golden Skin and Golden Muscles, but has also comprehended 20% of the Golden Essence.

After its full power is unleashed, its entire body appears as if coated in gold paint, allowing it to easily withstand attacks from opponents at the Qi Realm level.

However, he only needed one punch to completely break through the golden armor on his opponent, forcing him to admit defeat.

Although Murong Jue, like Bai Xiaotang, only mastered the Golden Skin and Silver Skin techniques, he still managed to force his opponent to admit defeat by relying on 20% of the Thunder Intent, easily winning the battle.

Without a doubt, unless Lu Yuan fully reveals his abilities, this year's Rookie of the Year will be chosen from among these three.

Even those who are top-tier geniuses like Xu Benchu ​​and Zhao Zixuan still have a considerable gap to close compared to them.

Before long, Lu Yuan also took the stage.

He and Ji Baiying walked directly into the center of the field and faced each other.

"I heard that Brother Ji and this Lu Yuan are both from Qinghe County?"

"That's right. Although Brother Ji is not a top-tier talent, he is still the top candidate in this year's imperial examination in Qinghe County. Lu Yuan is fifth on the list. He seems to be only of average talent. I don't know if he has overdrawn his potential by taking secret medicine or if he has had some kind of fortuitous encounter."

"Brother Ji's luck is truly extraordinary. Facing Lu Yuan is practically like getting three hundred contribution points for free."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and some even went so far as to reveal Lu Yuan's "background".

It can be said that, with the exception of a few people, almost everyone felt that this match would be no challenge for Ji Baiying.

Of course, Ji Baiying herself thought so too.

"Lu Yuan, although we are both among the top ten martial arts graduates from Qinghe County and should support each other, my contribution is extremely important to me. Therefore, I cannot let you win this battle!"

Ji Baiying looked up at Lu Yuan and then said directly, "I have not only mastered the Copper Skin technique, but I have also advanced to the eighth rank and am about to master the Copper Muscle technique. You are no match for me, so you might as well admit defeat!"

As he finished speaking, a layer of crimson light emanated from his body.

"No need for that, please!"

Lu Yuan, however, remained expressionless and spoke calmly.

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden robe appeared on his body.

At that moment, the entire venue was almost completely silent.

Apart from top-tier geniuses like Jin Wuming, Bai Xiaotang, and Zhao Zixuan, who had also mastered the Golden Skin technique, everyone else looked at Lu Yuan with disbelief.

"Am I seeing things? Brother Lu Yuan has actually mastered the Golden Skin technique?"

"I actually saw gold clothing on Brother Lu Yuan, am I seeing things?"

Zheng Xu and Zhang Hu were both extremely shocked at this moment.

Jiang Ying, on the other hand, merely smiled, as if she had already guessed this outcome.

"Wasn't it said that he only had average talent and had overdrawn his potential by taking secret medicine, leaving him with no future? What's going on now? Can anyone tell me?"

"I have no idea either. Is he really Lu Yuan? Or could he be in disguise?"

"This is insane! Absolutely insane! What utter nonsense about average physical constitution! I'd believe it if you said it was top-tier, or even a martial arts talent!"

Those martial arts geniuses who also came from Qinghe County, as well as those who knew about Lu Yuan's "background," all found it even more unbelievable.

"How could this be?"

Murong Jue, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but frown and ask in confusion.

Manager Chu's bone-reading technique has never been wrong. This person is clearly only of average bone quality, so how could he have cultivated to the Golden Skin level in just three months?

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

At this moment, Ji Baiying stared intently at Lu Yuan, her face full of disbelief.

"please!"

Lu Yuan stood there calmly and uttered another word.

While it would be perfectly fine to show off two layers of gold clothing, including gold skin and gold skin, for Baek Young this season, even one layer of gold clothing would be enough, and there is absolutely no need to expose too much.
