Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Fang Lin agree so readily, everyone was startled, and Lu Jiuhe’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Kang Lu, however, didn’t overthink it. At this moment, he was eager to vent his accumulated anger on Fang Lin.
Immediately, Kang Lu walked directly to an empty space in the courtyard, smiling viciously at Fang Lin he said, “Brother Fang, come over.”
Fang Lin walked up to Kang Lu with a smile on his face, while Lu Jiuhe and the others stood not far away.
Lu Jiuhe said, “It’s just a friendly match between brothers, let’s not let it affect our relationship. Stop when it’s necessary, do you understand?”
Fang Lin nodded and said, “Surely, I understand.”
Kang Lu chuckled devilishly, looking at Fang Lin as if he were prey, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt Brother Fang.”
Despite his words, Kang Lu had no intention of being merciful.
“In that case, you may begin,” Lu Jiuhe said.
Kang Lu had been waiting for these words. Just as Lu Jiuhe finished speaking, he prepared to rush toward Fang Lin.
“Hold on!” Fang Lin suddenly said.
Kang Lu paused momentarily, anger flashing across his face, “Fang Lin, are you scared and trying to back out?”
Lu Jiuhe also frowned in displeasure, “Brother Fang, what do you mean?”
Ignoring Kang Lu, Fang Lin turned to Lu Jiuhe and said, “Can Brother Lu let us take a look at the Hundred-year Ganoderma you mentioned before? Then it wouldn’t be too late for Brother Kang and me to have our friendly match.” Lu Jiuhe thought, showing you has no harm. Anyway, you can’t get it.
So, after some pondering, Lu Jiuhe said, “Since Brother Fang requests, there’s no harm in letting you see.”
Lu Jiuhe then took out a creamy white ganoderma from the Nine Palace Bag. It was the size of a human head and gave off a strange aroma.
Not only Fang Lin, but also Kang Lu and several others fixated their gaze upon the Hundred-year Ganoderma, revealing a glint of desire in their eyes.
Fang Lin looked at the Ganoderma, deducing that this ganoderma was almost at the stage of growing dark lines, which indicated it had lived for at least five hundred years. Its value was higher than the ordinary Hundred-year Ganoderma, which made it quite rare.
Seeing the looks of envy and desire on everyone’s faces as they looked at the
Hundred-year Ganoderma in his hands, Lu Jiuhe couldn’t help but feel smug. He proceeded to recount, “This Hundred-year Ganoderma was picked up by me from a deep mountain cave on one of my trips, and I almost ended up being eaten by the giant python guarding the Ganoderma.”
Many medicinal plants that grow for a hundred years tend to be guarded by demon beasts, which protect the plants until they mature enough to be consumed, thereby increasing their own lifespan and realm.
As a Pill Refiner, adventures to find rare treasures for refining pills often lead to conflicts with these demon beasts. Numerous Pill Refiners have died in such conflicts.
Lu Jiuhe made it seem like an effortless venture, but in reality, during his trip, he was lucky enough to encounter the Hundred-year Ganoderma just as the python guarding it was injured in a fight with another beast. The python’s weakened state allowed Lu Jiuhe to narrowly escape.
Otherwise, as a Pill Refiner of Lu Jiuhe’s level, obtaining the Hundred-year Ganoderma would have been impossible.
Lu Jiuhe only kept the Ganoderma out for a short period before quickly putting it back into the Nine Palace Bag as though he was afraid someone would snatch it away.
“Well, Brother Fang, you’ve seen the Hundred-year Ganoderma. Can we start now?” Kang Lu, who couldn’t wait any longer, asked Fang Lin.
Fang Lin looked at him scornfully and said, “Since that’s the case, Brother
Kang, please enlighten me.”
Upon saying that, he assumed an attitude of letting Kang Lu to make the first move.
Seeing this, Kang Lu almost blurted out a profanity. But inside, he was thrilled. Fang Lin, you’re so arrogant, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.
Kang Lu gave a loud shout and, like an arrow shot from a bow, rushed quickly towards Fang Lin. He raised his huge fist, aiming straight for Fang Lin’s face.
Despite being a disciple of the Pill Sect, when he made a move in anger, his posture was absolutely swift and fierce.
Fang Lin stood still, almost as if he hadn’t seen it at all, and there was even a slight smile on his lips.
Kang Lu couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he felt the thrill of victory seeing Fang Lin standing still.
The moment Kang Lu’s fist was about to hit Fang Lin’s face, Fang Lin suddenly moved and lightly sidestepped.
This slight movement caused Kang Lu’s punch to miss its target.
Kang Lu, thrown off balance, stumbled forward a few steps, his face flushing.
“Let’s see how long you can dodge!” Kang Lu roared, charging towards Fang Lin like a tiger descending a mountain.
Fang Lin remained calm with extraordinarily steady footsteps, and once again dodged to the side just as Kang Lu was about to strike him.
After several rounds, Kang Lu was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, while Fang Lin stood there composed, quietly watching Kang Lu.
Lu Jiuhe’s face finally changed. He wanted to warn Kang Lu, but if he opened his mouth, it would be too obvious. So he could only hold back.
Kang Lu didn’t expect Fang Lin to be so slippery. He had launched so many attacks but couldn’t even touch a corner of Fang Lin’s clothes, instead tiring himself out.
“Fang Lin, are you only capable of dodging?” bellowed Kang Lu, rage boiling inside him.
Fang Lin scoffed and said, “I’m afraid if I make a move, I might hurt you.”
Upon hearing this, Kang Lu, as if insulted, dug his feet in and burst forth towards Fang Lin, the Inner Strength exploding from his legs.
Kang Lu had been provoked into losing rationality by Fang Lin. Initially, he was holding back, but now, with his Inner Strength fully unleashed, he was showing no mercy at all.
Fang Lin’s eyes shone brightly. The moment Kang Lu threw his punch, he quickly shifted, avoiding Kang Lu’s fist. Following closely, he pounded a fierce punch into Kang Lu’s waist.
Kang Lu groaned. The intense pain caused his body to instantly go limp.
The waist is an area where Inner Strength bursts forth. Fang Lin’s brutal punch cut off Kang Lu’s Internal Strength.
Moreover, the waist is a particularly soft and vulnerable part of the human body. One punch was enough to turn Kang Lu’s face into sheet-white.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
One punch after another, Fang Lin attacked Kang Lu like a storm, hitting him relentlessly, especially in the face.
Fang Lin’s realm was not weaker than Kang Lu’s, and his combat experience was far greater than that of a hundred Kang Lu’s. Kang Lu’s fancy moves were laughable in Fang Lin’s eyes.
Kang Lu was stunned. He couldn’t understand why he didn’t have the strength to fight back.
Lu Jiuhe and the others who were not far away were stunned. What was this? It wasn’t what they had imagined at all!
Lu Jiuhe was the most astonished. His eyesight was slightly better than the others, and he realised that Fang Lin had been controlling the rhythm all along. Kang Lu seemed to have a ferocious attack, but he was entirely at the mercy of Fang Lin.
The punch that hit the waist was the most lethal, and Kang Lu had no way to dodge. After that punch, the outcome was clear..
