From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Please rest assured, Master, not only can I not fight four, but I can also defeat ten!"

None of the four extraordinary individuals who captured Jia-Qinglong were discouraged—in modern society, it is rare to have the opportunity to fight against multiple people at the same time!

Did he capture the Azure Dragon?

Jiang Liu looked at the handsome Taoist standing at the front, and pondered, "Did the addition of me disrupt the butterfly effect caused by the divination slips in the wooden box?"

Brother Zhiwei—

That's not my fault!

Ahhh~

As if sensing something, the old celestial master sneezed, wiped his nose, and muttered to himself, "Did I catch a cold?" Then he continued, "Then this old Taoist will not say any more. The preliminary rounds of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony officially begin!"

More than one hundred people went to four venues, A, B, C, and D, and entered in order.

The first group to play in Field A consists of Jia-Hua Lu, Feng Baobao, and Tianjin Wei Xiao Tao Yuan: Liu Fang, Guan Ling'er, and Zhang Cai.

Liu Fang had a buzz cut and a cigarette dangling from his mouth; his muscles were well-proportioned. Guan Ling'er was tall and slender with a slicked-back hairstyle. Zhang Cai was short and stout, wearing a red trench coat and sporting a small mustache, which gave him a rather comical appearance.

These three are quite capable even among the younger generation, and since they are a team, many viewers outside the venue were worried about Feng Baobao's safety.

What no one expected was that the three members of the Tianjin Wei Xiaotaoyuan trio had been taught a lesson by Feng Baobao and Xu Si. Therefore, the moment they saw Feng Baobao, their arrogance was instantly replaced by fear. They then smiled broadly, went up to massage Feng Baobao, and took the initiative to admit defeat.

Thus, the first match ended in a farcical manner.

The second match in Group A is A-Qinglong.

"You'll be facing Zhang Lingyu in your first match; it seems you won't be able to advance." Feng Xingtong felt sorry for Jiang Liu.

"It's okay, if you lose, I'll take you for a drink."

Feng Shayan grinned, licked her lips, and looked like she wanted to devour Jiang Liu.

Zhang Chulan: "..."

"Then you'll be disappointed."

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "By the way, aren't you going to other venues? What if you miss the qualifiers?"

"If it's our turn, someone will send us a message."

Feng Shayan waved her phone. "Now, I'm more interested in knowing how strong you really are."

"Modern technology is so convenient!"

Jiang Liu sighed, but then he heard the referee, who was presiding over the match, shouting while holding up the list: "Where is Jiang Liu of Team A - Qinglong? Get on the field now! If you don't get on the field within one minute, it will be considered a forfeit!"

"coming!"

||ヽ(￣▽￣)ノミ|

Jiang Liu waved to the referee, then jumped over the fence and into the field.

# Chapter 566 Zhang Lingyu VS Jiang Liu (Part 1)

A - Azure Dragon.

Because Zhang Lingyu was in this group, the Old Celestial Master, Lu Jin, and the other members of the Ten Elders who were present also came to Field A, but Zhang Zhiwei's gaze was on Jiang Liu.

More precisely, it was the eyes that were fixed on Jiang Liu.

Previously, due to the large number of people outside, the old master did not pay much attention, but now he could see it clearly. Those eyes seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they had a shimmering light, exuding confidence and gentleness.

“Senior brother, that child… doesn’t seem to have anything special about him.” Tian Jinzhong, who was standing next to the old master, also noticed Jiang Liu’s gentle eyes.

"Junior brother, you can joke now too." The old master was speechless.

"Haha, how could I not know? But is that really divine brilliance concealed within?"

Tian Jinzhong had some doubts, "Senior brother, you have reached this level after nearly a hundred years of cultivation, with a strong spirit and rich experience. But he is just a child. How did he reach such a level?"

"Or perhaps they are exceptionally gifted."

Zhang Zhiwei said.

"The effect of the technique?" Tian Jinzhong thought of a possibility.

"Don't jump to conclusions before the facts are clear."

The old master gave a reminder, but then sighed, "It's a pity that Lingyu encountered an invincible opponent in the preliminaries... I was originally planning to manipulate things behind the scenes so that Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Chulan would clash in the final battle."

Upon hearing this, not only Tian Jinzhong, but also Lu Jin beside him was stunned, exclaiming in astonishment, "Old Zhang, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Zhang Lingyu will lose?"

Shen Ying was reserved and introspective.

The elderly Lu Jin assumed the boy's situation was special, but the old Celestial Master actually said Zhang Lingyu would lose... Doesn't that mean the boy's strength is extremely high?!

But he couldn't discern Jiang Liu's true strength at all.

Actually.

Even the old master couldn't detect it.

There are two possibilities:

Firstly, that guy's skill in controlling his Qi is unparalleled throughout history;

Secondly, his cultivation level was extremely high, no weaker than mine.

He had a feeling it was the second possibility.

In the field.

Jiang Liu landed steadily without stirring up a speck of dust, and waved to the four people, saying, "Sorry, gentlemen, I chatted with some new friends for a few more minutes and didn't notice. I hope you won't mind."

"It's alright."

Zhang Lingyu smiled gently and nodded slightly to Jiang Liu.

"Now that everyone is here, the match between Group A and Azure Dragon Group shall begin! You may all begin!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, the three of them attacked Zhang Lingyu simultaneously. One was skilled in Bajiquan, one was adept at throwing knives, and the other possessed a technique similar to a golden body, covering his body with a light golden luster, resembling one of the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin.

Although Zhang Lingyu is not old, his life cultivation is quite strong, roughly comparable to Lu Jin in history, who cultivated the Reverse Life Triple to the second level during the Lu Old Master's birthday celebration.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyu didn't need to exert much effort to defeat the three of them, and didn't even need to activate the Golden Light Spell. He defeated them in no time.

"I appreciate your concession."

Zhang Lingyu bowed slightly to the three fallen men before turning his gaze to Jiang Liu, asking in confusion, "Brother Jiang, why didn't you attack?"

"how to say?"

Jiang Liu mimicked the Zhang Zhiwei he knew—rubbing his chin, grinning, head held high, looking arrogant—and said, "I don't like taking advantage of others in their time of need."

and.

"I need something from All-Knowing, so I'm doing them a favor by eliminating Zhang Chulan's opponents... Those three could potentially threaten Zhang Chulan's chances of winning the championship, so defeating them for me will save me some effort."

Zhang Lingyu: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether to say Jiang Liu was honest or arrogant.

In terms of strength.

Zhang Lingyu admitted that many of the contestants participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony could threaten him, but Jiang Liu, who had no reputation whatsoever in the world of supernatural beings, was definitely not among them.

"That kid—"

Seeing Jiang Liu's arrogant expression, the old master was taken aback. "He seems somewhat similar to me?"

"How arrogant!"

"That guy actually said he'd help Zhang Chulan take care of all his opponents?"

"This is absolutely insane!"

"Is he capable of surpassing an entire generation?"

"Master Lingyu, teach him a lesson!"

The audience either mocked or shouted.

But Zhang Lingyu remained unmoved, simply gazing at Jiang Liu, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "In that case, this humble Taoist will make a fool of himself."

Honestly.

Although Zhang Lingyu was gentle and refined, he also had a temper, especially after hearing that Jiang Liu's purpose in participating in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was to eliminate Zhang Chulan's opponent, he felt even more resentful.

Therefore, the moment the words fell, Zhang Lingyu took a step forward, chanted an incantation, and golden light surged around him as he rushed towards the river.

Jiang Liu stood still, motionless, as if he had been scared out of his wits.

But just as Zhang Lingyu's outstretched fingers were about to cover Jiang Liu's face, the latter took a step, twisted his body, and turned to the side with incredible speed.

Snapped!

A sliver of golden light appeared, grabbed Zhang Lingyu by the back of his collar, spun him around, and then gently flung him away.

As the golden light shattered, Zhang Lingyu sensed something and her face paled in shock. She steadied herself in mid-air, landed on her feet, and retreated more than ten meters, leaving two long tracks on the ground before finally stopping. She stared at Jiang Liu in disbelief, a bead of sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Want to continue, Lingyu?" Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

However, this single word "Lingyu" gave Zhang Lingyu and all the elders in the audience the illusion that they were instructing a younger generation.

"Damn! Is this guy really that pretentious?"

"But it's really strong; it actually broke Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Spell in one go!"

"Why were you so unknown before?"

"Damn it! I've bet all my money on Zhang Lingyu!"

The audience reacted with surprise and groans, but nothing could affect the two players on stage, until someone said, "Could it be that Zhang Lingyu can't even make it into the preliminaries?"

This hurt Zhang Lingyu's pride.

He didn't care about winning or losing, and he knew that there were always people better than him in the world. But in the Celestial Master's Mansion, as the direct disciple of the current Celestial Master and a high-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion, it would be too shameful if he couldn't even get past the preliminary rounds!

"I was wrong."
