Lian Jibei roared and flew out from his seat like an arrow.
He was not the only one.
Many figures leaped into the air. Their Qi and blood were like furnaces, and their Essence Qi were like smoke signals.
They were all Masters.
Among them were Masters from the Martial Arts Association and the vice-principal of the Seven Sage Universities.
Lu Sheng’s fist fell, and Chao Qian’s body flew out like a cannonball.
Lian Jibei was furious, but he didn’t go to catch Chao Qian. Instead, he went straight to Lu Sheng.
“Lian Jibei, how dare you!”
Someone yelled and blocked Lian Jibei’s figure and exchanged blows with him.
A terrifying sound wave erupted from the clash of two Masters. It was as if two huge furnaces had collided.
The air wave spread, and the spectators around the arena retreated.
The two figures separated from each other.
Lian Jibei’s face was gloomy. The martial arts suit on his body was blown up by the waves of killing intent.
On the other side, the Vice-principal of the Seventh Sage Martial University, Zhao Kangtai, took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge and put them in his shirt pocket.
At this time, Zhao Kangtai’s scholarly aura was gone. He showed the iron-blooded and majestic side of a Master.
Even Lu Sheng was a little surprised.
Someone yelled and stood between Lian Jibei and Zhao Kangtai.
It was the woman in a blue cheongsam who was in charge of drawing lots from the Martial Arts Association.
“Both of you are Master. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by others?”
The woman in the blue cheongsam looked at the two with a serious expression.
“This kid killed someone on purpose. He killed the future star of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy. He deserves to die!”
Lian Jibei stared at Lu Sheng. He didn’t hide his killing intent at all.
His Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy participated in the National Martial Arts Conference to make a name for themselves. He came to show the power of Extreme Dao, not to be a stepping stone for others.
Not to mention that an Extreme Dao genius had died.
As the leader of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy, he had to take some responsibility for such a big accident.
Although he wouldn’t be punished, it wouldn’t look good.
It was inevitable that people would talk behind his back.
“If you’re willing to look at Chao Qian, you’ll know that the Devil Star of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy is still alive …”
Someone suddenly interjected.
Lian Jibei was stunned and turned to look at where Chao Qian had landed.
At this moment, Chao Qian was lying straight on the ground. There was a huge dent in his chest.
His body had already returned to its original state. It was loose like a brick that had been smashed into pieces.
His chest was still rising and falling. There were indeed signs of life. He was not dead.
The woman in the blue cheongsam and Zhao Kangtai were obviously relieved.
Even Jibei’s gaze relaxed, but it quickly turned cold again.
He narrowed his eyes at Lu Sheng and said, “Kid, didn’t your Seven Sage University teachers teach you … what it means that a Master cannot be humiliated?”
Lu Sheng’s face tensed up. He subconsciously took a few steps back and hid behind Zhao Kangtai.
Lian Jibei’s lips curled up.
With a cold face, Zhao Kangtai shouted, “Lian Jibei, since your Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s disciple didn’t die, this matter is over. Don’t push your luck …”
Lian Jibei sneered. His gaze swept across the Seven Sage Martial Universities’ Vice principals who were about to step forward.
Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
“Take him down for treatment!”
Lian Jibei waved his hand. A few Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s disciples rushed up and carried Chao Qian to the medical station.
He himself sat on a chair and coldly stared at Lu Sheng. His eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Then I declare Lu Sheng from the Seventh Sage Martial University the winner of this battle.”
The woman in the blue qipao took over the refereeing position and announced the end of the battle.
At this moment, the shock and horror caused by Lian Jibei’s interruption broke out from the crowd.
“Too strong! Lu Sheng is really too strong. Chao Qian with the second level of the Extreme Devil Mode couldn’t even take a punch from him. Is he really not a Master?”
“If Lu Sheng was a Master, why would he hide when facing Lian Jibei of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy? His Master Qi shield didn’t even form. But he is really strong. He has surpassed the average quasi-Master and is infinitely close to the threshold of Masters. In some aspects, he might not be worse than a Master.”
“Demon King! He really is the Demon King! There’s no mistaking his nickname …”
“Even the Extreme Devil Star couldn’t take a punch from Lu Sheng. I think the champion of this year’s National Martial Arts Competition has basically been decided. The rest of the competition is just a formality …”
“I heard that Lu Sheng is only 18 years old this year! He’s like a demon.”
“From now on, the Demon King will rule the National Martial Arts Conference for many years … The era of the Extreme Dao Twins has come to an end.”
Lu Sheng listened to the discussions around him. His face didn’t change at all. He followed Zhao Kangtai down the stage.
Zhao Kangtai saw that he didn’t say a word and thought that he was still thinking about Lian Jibei. He comforted him, “Don’t think too much. If you really killed someone, it’s not your fault as long as you didn’t do it on purpose. Who doesn’t bleed in the martial arts competition? If you die, you can only blame yourself for not being as good as others. The school will naturally help you withstand the pressure from the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy. In this world, the Extreme Path Martial Arts aren’t the only ones with Level 9 Martial Sages …”
Zhao Kangtai’s last sentence was a little overbearing.
Lu Sheng’s face immediately relaxed and he nodded.
Zhao Kangtai looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression.
He now knew why Lu Sheng gave up the second option of the Martial Sage’s test.
He had seen how he had taken a step back when he was facing Lian Jibei on the stage, as well as the lingering fear on his face.
“That’s true. Master … Master … It’s easy to say, but how many people are not afraid of a Level 7 Master? There are only one in ten thousand people who know the power of a Master and don’t fear them. Lu Sheng’s martial arts talent is already one in a million, and to expect him to have such courage and character is asking too much of him …”
Zhao Kangtai was very sure that if he and Lian Jibei switched places, the one injured would be Lu Sheng.
If he attacked out of spite, the two Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s Twin Stars would probably be scared to death.
In comparison, Lu Sheng only took a step back. It was already very outstanding.
“Unfortunately, to become a Martial Arts Sage’s disciple, being outstanding is not enough …”
Zhao Kangtai sighed in his heart.
The more outstanding Lu Sheng’s strength and talent were, the more he felt sorry for Lu Sheng in his heart.
But he could only feel sorry.
