Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"I believe in Brother Lu!"

Despite the ridicule and jeers from the students around him, Wu Yunran persisted in her opinion and staked everything she had on Lu Feng, clearly having complete confidence in him.

"Great, place your order now!"

Seeing this, the bald man in charge of the deal stopped talking and immediately accepted the Vastness Token from the other party.

After all, if you can make money, you might as well do it. As the bookmaker, the bald man was also eager for more hotheads like Wu Yunran who didn't care about odds and differences, so that he could earn more turnover.

"To earn 3,000 contribution points for free like this? Looks like I've run into a fool today!"

"Whatever, since this southern barbarian is so stubborn, let's teach him a lesson. He'll regret it if he doesn't heed the advice of his elders!"

"Heh, there are always people who like to gamble and try their luck, but little do they know that casinos are like battlefields. With such a huge difference in strength, there's not much luck to speak of. This southern barbarian is destined to lose everything!"

"I bet this fight won't even take ten rounds before Shen Tianzhong crushes him to victory. Then we brothers will be rolling in it!"

Among the crowd, the students who had placed bets continued to discuss the matter, some of whom were beaming with excitement, seemingly unable to wait to see Lu Feng suffer a swift defeat and then collect their winnings.

...

The martial arts arena, including one of the fighting rings.

"Although this Shen fellow is only at the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm, on par with that bastard Cheng Xuyuan from back then, his aura is clearly much stronger, and he also has an eighth-grade spiritual treasure to aid him. Ordinary martial artists of the same level are probably no match for him..."

Lu Feng glanced at Shen Tianzhong, who was poised to attack, and pondered to himself.

Although the opponent's cultivation level is far inferior to that of Xu Tianlong, the leader of the Five Elements Society, he is still not to be underestimated!

Moreover, the Judgment Blade in Shen Tianzhong's hand is no ordinary weapon. Its lethality and destructive power are no weaker than Lu Xiaoxiang's ancestral treasure, the "Hundred-Style Mechanism Umbrella," and it is also one of the eighth-grade spiritual treasures!

Therefore, it won't be so easy for Lu Feng to defeat his opponent right now!

Bang!

Just as Lu Feng was thinking about how to deal with Shen Tianzhong, he saw the latter suddenly stomp his foot on the ground, and the next moment he shot out like a bolt of lightning, while raising his hand to strike the man's chest vital point!

"Galo splits the mountain!"

Seeing Shen Tianzhong launch an attack, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all and met it head-on. Then, he joined his five fingers together to form a fist, with rolling Yuan energy wrapped around it, and a golden-feathered eagle beast phantom appeared, with an equally impressive aura!

Bang! Boom!

In an instant, their fists and palms collided fiercely, creating a shockwave that spread outwards, along with a series of loud explosions. The residual force of the massive Yuan energy impact instantly enveloped most of the arena, engulfing Shen Tianzhong and Lu Feng's figures, leaving them nowhere to be seen!

Swish!Swish!

A few more breaths passed, and as the billowing dust on the arena dissipated, the two figures retreated rapidly from it, landing on either side of the arena. Their expressions were different, but the atmosphere of the battle remained intense!

"Second level of the Spirit Soul Realm?"

He landed steadily, his expression solemn, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

He originally thought that Lu Feng was at most at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, but he never expected that the other party had been hiding something, and only now was he revealing his true strength!

"Okay, very good...! This way it won't get boring!"

Taking another deep breath, Shen Tianzhong's eyes flashed with a fervent fighting spirit. Then, the Yuan Power in his dantian surged outwards again, as if he had gone all out. Moreover, the sheer power of his aura was enough to make one's heart tremble!

"This guy took my full-force punch and is completely unharmed...?"

Across the arena, Lu Feng also twisted his slightly sore right wrist, then frowned slightly.

Although his Yuan Power cultivation was still one level behind Shen Tianzhong, Lu Feng was far superior to ordinary martial artists of the same level in terms of both Yuan Power strength and physical strength. So, Shen Tianzhong was able to take his punch head-on, which naturally surprised Lu Feng greatly!

Moreover, the residual force of Shen Tianzhong's palm strike even injured Lu Feng. If it weren't for his strong physique, comparable to a ninth-grade spiritual treasure, he would have suffered serious injuries in this clash!

"Again!"

Seemingly not intending to give Lu Feng any chance to catch his breath, Shen Tianzhong roared and leaped forward again.

"The Spiritual Image Derivation of Heaven Technique!"

Shen Tianzhong's body surged with Yuan Power, emitting bursts of golden light. The next moment, a large amount of Yuan Power erupted and transformed into a golden giant elephant several meters long and several zhang tall. It seemed to be his innate skill, and its power was no less than that of an eighth-grade martial art!

Moo!

A giant golden elephant appeared out of nowhere, letting out a roar that sounded like a bull's bellow, before charging fiercely towards Lu Feng on the opposite arena.

"An eighth-grade martial art?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng dared not underestimate his opponent in the slightest. He immediately leaped backward, his entire body moving like a nimble serpent, easily avoiding the impact of the golden elephant's body.

boom!

However, before Lu Feng could retaliate, the golden elephant attacked again, raising its massive, mountain-heavy elephant paw to stomp down on Lu Feng's head with lightning speed!

"Hurricane Spirit Soul!"

In this critical moment, Lu Feng no longer held back. He immediately unleashed the Hurricane Spirit Soul from his dantian and simultaneously unleashed a sword finger strike with his backhand. Rolling Yuan Power surged forth and instantly transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire.

"Super Dragon Breath!"

A massive amount of blazing spiritual flames swept outwards and raged. With the support of the Hurricane Spirit Soul, it was as if the wind was fanning the flames, and the power instantly increased several times. Even a master of the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm dared not confront it head-on!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A raging inferno swept in, engulfing the golden elephant in a single moment and reducing it to ashes. The remaining flames were so powerful that they engulfed and submerged Shen Tianzhong as well, leaving his fate unknown.

...

Meanwhile, on a high platform outside the training ground

"What an amazing little kid! And the power of this spirit surpasses even that of rare spirits; it's a legendary spirit of immense strength...!"

"Heh, when did our Falling Star Academy produce such a promising talent this year?"

Seeing that Lu Feng not only handled the whole situation with ease, but even managed to corner Shen Tianzhong, the cafeteria elder Li Dazui patted his large stomach, a look of surprise on his face.

He originally thought the battle was a foregone conclusion, since Lu Feng was at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level, combat experience, and spiritual treasure martial arts. Logically speaking, his chances of winning were less than 10%.

However, Lu Feng's brilliant performance not only amazed the students watching the game, but even he, the cafeteria elder, was no exception.

"Hey Lao Li, you'll probably have to ask Junior Sister Liu about this..."

Faced with Li Dazui's surprise, Dao Butong also reached out and twirled the mustache at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Liu Lanyu, who had a solemn expression, and said meaningfully.

After all, neither of them had participated in the recruitment assessment back then, and apart from Elder Yin Baili of the Punishment Hall, only Liu Lanyu, who was standing to the side, knew about the recruitment process back then.
