Chapter 300
Since the National Martial Arts Conference had progressed to this point, Lu Sheng had no fate with Martial Sage Tan Zhongyu.
Zhao Kangtai sighed and walked away.
After Zhao Kangtai left, Lu Sheng’s eyes immediately relaxed.
“I’m too strong!”
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but praise himself in his heart.
Of course, it wasn’t in terms of strength.
He was already very strong. What he was amazed at now was his … acting skills!
“That small step back was simply a stroke of genius. The artistic elements contained in this small step are at least as high as several stories!”
Lu Sheng was amazed at himself.
The potential of the human body was indeed limitless.
Before this, he didn’t even know that he had such a talent for acting.
“Lian Jibei could die in the hands of someone as outstanding as me …” Lu Sheng could feel Lian Jibei’s gaze on him. He gently stroked his fist as he thought to himself.
“… I would wake up laughing even if I’m lying in a coffin.”
…
The eighth round of the competition was over. The ninth round was also equivalent to the semifinals.
There were only four people left in the arena.
Lu Sheng, Divine Star Qi Yue, Transcendent Dao’s Zhang Jue, and a young man from the Esteemed Martial Association named Deng Rui.
This guy was the oldest of the four. He was 30 years old this year.
He was stuck at the threshold of the conference.
He had already participated in four Martial Arts Conferences and was quite strong.
However, he hadn’t even condensed his Martial Will. To be able to come all the way here, other than relying on his solid martial arts foundation, rich combat experience, and competition experience, he also had … unparalleled luck!
Of course, his luck had obviously come to an end.
After drawing lots for the ninth round, Deng Rui’s opponent was Sage Zhang Jue.
However, when he saw that the result was 997, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was pleasantly surprised.
This was the best result he had expected!
He couldn’t beat any of the remaining three people. He would lose no matter who he faced.
However, there were also good and bad results.
Facing the Demon King of the Seven Sages, Lu Sheng, was the worst way to lose.
Even the Devil Star of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy, Chao Qian, was beaten half to death by Lu Sheng. Deng Rui suspected that if he faced Lu Sheng in the arena, there was a 90% chance that he would be beaten to death on the spot.
He wasn’t called Demon King for nothing. He was the most ferocious person in this Martial Arts Conference! Up until now, who knew how many famous experts had been beaten to a pulp. Some had even vomited blood.
For example, Wang Xin of the Sea Dragon Martial Arts Academy and the Extreme Dao Devil Star …
The second worst was facing the Divine Star Qi Yue.
This guy was a bit perverted. Many people knew that he liked to torture his opponents.
Before Lu Sheng rose, the Divine Star Qi Yue was the most hated opponent.
However, Zhang Jue was different.
She looked cute and had a good personality. She knew how to control her strength and was very polite after fighting.
Sometimes, when she accidentally hit too hard, she would ask someone to apologize.
She was simply the most perfect martial arts opponent.
Deng Rui held the lot and walked off the stage with a smile, as if he had won first place.
Zhang Jue also walked off the stage quickly.
However, there was someone who looked at the lot in his hand. His face turned ugly.
The Divine Star Qi Yue.
Seeing him like this, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but take a step forward and whisper in Qi Yue’s ear, “It’s okay. It’s not too late to buy an accidental insurance. Do you know anyone? If you don’t, I can recommend you two. They have a good reputation in the circle. I have a friend who just died two days ago and the insurance money came in …”
Qi Yue suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
His handsome face was extremely pale. His shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly …
***
“I’m kidding.” Lu Sheng smiled and patted Divine Star Qi Yue’s shoulder, “If I kill you, won’t your Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s Master Lian Jibei kill me?”
Qi Yue’s trembling body instantly stopped.
Lu Sheng’s words seemed to have given him strength all of a sudden. His entire body seemed to have found support.
“It’s good that you know.” Qi Yue sneered, “Also, do you think I’m as useless as Chao Qian?”
“Of course not.” Lu Sheng shook his head.
“I think you’re more useless than Chao Qian.”
Qi Yue’s expression suddenly froze and then became ugly.
Lu Sheng didn’t waste any more words with him. He glanced at Lian Jibei’s direction and stepped off the stage.
His match was still scheduled for the second match.
Lu Sheng sat on a chair with his elbows on his knees and his eyes on the field. His posture was casual and his expression was calm.
His spiritual power radiated across the field.
He could clearly see Divine Star Qi Yue bowing beside Lian Jibei and listening to what Lian Jibei said.
During the conversation, the two’s eyes never left him.
Lian Jibei’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked like he wanted to kill him but couldn’t.
This was exactly what Lu Sheng wanted to see.
“There’s a bit too much trash talk …” Lu Sheng shook his head, “But the effect is good.”
If he wanted to kill Lian Jibei, he had to have a good reason.
And had to be reasonable. Let everyone see, let everyone feel that … this was how it should be.
So Lu Sheng heavily injured Devil Star Chao Qian with one punch and spat a few words of trash talk at Divine Star Qi Yue.
He wouldn’t go so far as to kill them. Although these two were annoying, they didn’t need to die.
Lu Sheng wasn’t a bloodthirsty person either.
But this was enough to draw Lian Jibei’s hatred …
“If that’s the case, then what happens next would logical. Even Jibei himself will be impatient … In the end, it’s because I’m not strong enough …”
Lu Sheng looked down at his hands.
His palms were fair and delicate with clear palm lines. There was a natural beauty to them.
“Because I’m not strong enough, I have to consider this and that. I have to act according to the rules set by others. If I am strong enough now, I can completely ignore the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy, as well as the pressure from the country, the government, the Martial Arts Association, etc … Not to mention that Lian Jibei deserves to die, even if he was innocent … If I kill him, no one would dare say anything. A true expert should be someone who breaks the rules and makes the rules. Instead of following the rules already set …”
Lu Sheng exhaled and thought to himself, “That’s why I’m not strong enough. I have to keep working hard.”
The competition between Zhang Jue and Deng Rui was quite exciting.
The battle could have ended a long time ago, but Zhang Jue dragged it out until ten minutes later before politely sending Deng Rui off the stage.
The Transcendence Dao Martial Arts Academy won without any suspense; Deng Rui’s Esteemed Martial Academy was also proud.
The Martial Arts Association and various martial arts academy made various comments and analyses on this battle …
The camera zoomed in on all the characters from all angles, and the cameraman moved as if he was flying. Finally, there was some professionalism and appreciation of a national competition.
Then, it was Lu Sheng’s turn to compete with Qi Yue.
