Chapter 32: Victory in a Hundred Battles
Snowy City, Dock Ring.
There are still two days left before the arrival of the armament.
In a makeshift tent behind the ring, Shen Lu looked at a new special mission released by the system with a tangled expression.
[Achievement Mission: Win 100 battles.] Get a winning streak in the next ring match. 5 points are awarded for each victory. Win more than 10 games in a row to get an extra R card, win more than 20 games in a row get an extra S card, and win more than 30 games in a row to get an extra SS card. γ
Defending 30 consecutive wins is no joke.
Defending means that Shen Lu has to deal with dozens of enemies in a row, which is a huge consumption of physical strength and mana. Even if Shen Lu is really one of the best masters in Snowy City now, he may not be able to withstand the toss of the wheel war.
What's more, no props are allowed in the ring. If you lose a lot of tricks, you can only rely on hard power.
How could he agree to He Shanhu's bad idea for a while?
It is really He Shanhu, although he is five big and three thick, but his eloquence is very good. In his calculations, there are three major benefits of the ring match. The first is to show Shen Lu's strength, the second is to make some friends who like to cultivate, and the third is to create chaos on the docks.
Just imagine, if Yin Qiansheng came to get armaments two days later, and the ring not far away was full of cultivators and nine streams with cultivation levels, how would he feel?
In order not to go wrong, Yin Qiansheng had to clear the site before he dared to unload the goods. At that time, Shen Lu only needs a little verbal guidance, and he can make Yin Qiansheng clash with this group of cultivators who came to fight, and then it will be the best time for the fisherman to profit.
He Shanhu also made it very clear that he wanted that batch of armaments, so he wanted to join forces with Shen Lu. At that time, Shen Lu became the lord of the city, He Shanhu obtained armaments, and together they defeated the common enemy Yin Qiansheng, of course, it was a happy situation.
Shen Lu had no reason to refuse, so he was driven to the shelves and came to fight in the ring.
"Forget it, just fight! Shen Lu forcibly cheered up, then walked out of the tent and stepped into the ring.
Today he was wearing an off-white corset samurai uniform, and his whole person looked very capable.
Since the Tiandao Gang had already released the news that Shen Lu was going to set up a ring match today, many people had gathered around the ring early to watch the excitement. Most of these people were young adults, and many of them were eager cultivators.
Seeing Shen Lu on stage, there was already a cry from the audience. Many people thought that Shen Lu was just the kind of gentleman who only spent money and had no real skills.
Seeing him in the ring today, it's quite like that, so I'm looking forward to the next ring match.
Shen Lu waited for everyone to cheer for a while, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Heroes, please, let's not say a word of nonsense today, just start fighting! The winner gets a hundred taels of gold, and the loser can receive a red envelope of one or two gold as compensation." This is not for anything else, but for these four words. β
As he spoke, Shen Lu pointed to a flagpole standing in front of the ring. On this flagpole hangs a pennant, on which are written four big characters: Wu is the way of heaven.
The onlookers cheered and appreciated Shen Lu's heroism. Not only because of Shen Lu's generosity, but also because of Shen Lu's high praise for the value of force.
Although the world advocates martial arts, there will still be a situation where the strong with high martial arts have to succumb to the weak with low martial arts because of their status.
Over time, the concept of martial arts supremacy will eventually become weaker. Many people no longer attach importance to the cultivation of martial arts, but go to study things such as power schemes, money, and status, which is something that many cultivators are very dissatisfied with.
The attitude that Shen Lu was expressing now satisfied most of the cultivators and was also very helpful to his prestige increase.
Seeing the fierce reaction of the masses, Shen Lu had to sigh that He Shanhu was indeed powerful. This banner was proposed by He Shanhu, although Shen Lu was smart, but he was not sophisticated and calculating enough, and he couldn't think of such a deep level.
There will be brave men under the great reward. If you lose, you can get a gold tael or two, so why not fight?
Immediately, a middle-aged man came into the ring, clasped his fists at Shen Lu and said: "My surname is Chen, I am the head of the Gan Nursing Academy, and I don't practice much on weekdays, I only have brute strength, and I ask Young Master Shen to show mercy." β
"Each other, Mr. Chen, please advise. β
Shen Lu also politely returned the salute with his fists, and the two sides put on a posture.
Manager Chen was not polite, he shot first, split his head and covered his face with a palm, and attacked Shen Lu's chest.
According to the fluctuation of mana, Shen Lu sensed that he was probably a master of the Ming Obscurity Realm. After all, if you can take care of your home, your strength will naturally not be too bad.
But compared to Shen Lu's hard power in the double of the Ying Realm this week, the eight layers of the Ming Hui Realm are still too far behind.
At the moment before Manager Chen was about to touch him, Shen Lu dodged at a very fast speed, and then held his attacking right hand to guide it in the opposite direction, and actually let Manager Chen's palm slap his own chest in reverse.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" After Mr. Chen slapped himself, he coughed twice in pain.
hurriedly raised his foot and kicked sideways to try to fight back, but was lightly hooked by Shen Lu, hooking his other leg so that his center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell and flew out.
Seeing that he was about to fall out of the ring, and this time it must have been a bad fall, Manager Chen could only close his eyes tightly, ready to endure this impact.
However, the force of the forward fall was suddenly stopped, and Manager Chen felt that his arms were being pulled and his feet returned to their center of gravity, so he hurriedly shook twice and stood still.
Of course, it was Shen Lu who grabbed Mr. Chen.
"Thank you Young Master Shen for your mercy and admiration. Manager Chen sighed helplessly.
"Manager Chen made a mistake and lost his center of gravity just now, it should be just an accident. How about we fight again?"
Manager Chen smiled bitterly: "Although my cultivation is average, I often work with people, and I still have this self-knowledge." I won't be your opponent if I cultivate for another ten years, and I don't have the mind of you. I threw in the towel. β
As he spoke, he walked out of the ring.
[Defeat the eightfold opponent of the Ming Obscurity Realm, experience +80, points +16.] +5 Achievement Points. γ
There was a chaotic discussion in the audience, although they couldn't hear it clearly, but they vaguely heard some discussions, all of which were praising Shen Lu for his mastery demeanor.
If you change to someone else, there will definitely be few people who will stop your opponent from falling out of the ring. This kind of courage was boiled down to respect for cultivators.
Although a cultivator like Mr. Chen concentrates on martial arts, he can only serve as a guardian for a large family after all. In the eyes of others, he was no different from a house slave, and it had been a long time since he had received similar respect.
In addition to him, there were many cultivators who had similar experiences, so they even praised Shen Lu's actions.
Several more Ming Obscure Realm sevenfold and eightfold challengers came up one after another, all of whom were cleaned up by Shen Lu three or two, and they all saved enough face for them.
After defeating another enemy, there was a nice cheer from the audience. Shen Lu looked down, and sure enough, it was Xu Wenrui who was shouting and cheering for him. But as soon as she screamed like this, at least half of the men around her looked at her, but they didn't pay so much attention to Shen Lu on the stage.
Shen Lu smiled helplessly, but felt a burst of warmth in his heart.
I was a little worried, and I didn't know how to deal with the relationship with Xu Wenrui. I can't talk about the level of love with her at all, and the two are more like playmates than fiancΓ©s.
However, after getting along in the past few days, Shen Lu has become accustomed to the feeling of Xu Wenrui chattering by his side. If it can go on like this, there's nothing wrong with that.
Thinking about it this way, my father's vision is still vicious, and he has found such a good daughter-in-law for himself.
But since he had the leisure to arrange a marriage for himself, he didn't have time to come to Snow City to see him, which really made Shen Lu a little confused.
"Hehe, you are the Heavenly Dao? Then what is my Heavenly Dao Gang? Help Luo Jun in the Lower Heavenly Dao and learn Young Master Shen's high moves!"
A slightly angry man's voice pulled Shen Lu back from his thoughts.
This man is probably in his thirties, slightly chubby, and the most eye-catching thing is probably his thick eyebrows that are about to form a line.
Luo Jun's name is really in contrast to his appearance.
Shen Lu arched his hand and said: "You helped Master He set up this ring for me, since Brother Luo is his own person, please be merciful." β
This was originally a polite remark, but who knew that it angered Luo Jun. The latter snorted, "your own people." Since you and He Shanhu's traitor are in the same group, you are the mortal enemy of my Heavenly Dao Gang!"
After that, he didn't even make any explanation, and directly shot out with murderous intent, rushing towards Shen Lu.
Shen Lu also immediately entered the battle state. Hearing the faint sound of wind and thunder between the other party's footsteps, Luo Jun would also flash thunder and lightning around his body when he acted quickly, and he knew that he was a master who had awakened the thunder and lightning attributes, and his strength was at least one of Zhou Yingjing's.
The onlookers didn't expect that a master of Zhou Yingjing would appear so soon, and he was also a madman who wanted to fight to the death with Shen Lu.
As Luo Jun approached Shen Lu, his fist also smashed towards Shen Lu's door.
The fist thundered, and several breathtaking thunder explosions sounded around Shen Lu, which seriously affected Shen Lu's attention.
It was just such a slight slowdown, and his punch had already smashed firmly on Shen Lu's shoulder. A stinging pain like an electric shock spread throughout Shen Lu's body, making his body even more sluggish.
If it's someone else, there is a high probability that you should retreat and dodge at this time, dodging the opponent's fist first.
But Shen Lu knew that if he retreated at this time, his speed would already be much higher than that of the other party, and it was very likely that he would be chased and beaten by the other party, and then he would fall into a dead circle of passivity.
So Shen Lu used to condense and refine qi to protect his body, and at the same time endured the severe pain in his body, and poked his two fingers with his backhand directly into the other party's eyes.
This counterattack is extremely sharp. Because Luo Jun's "electric shock boxing method" is to be next to the enemy all the time to work.
And Shen Lu's move to attack the eyes is also the best at close range.
Luo Jun had no choice but to dodge this ruthless move, then turned his body, smashed his fingers into claws, and grabbed Shen Lu's throat with his backhand, which was also a ruthless killing move.
Thunder attribute mana can increase the speed of cultivators, so Luo Jun is confident that this move can hit Shen Lu.
However, at the moment before he touched the other party, Shen Lu's speed suddenly increased exaggeratedly, and in the slightest case, he could avoid this fatal blow.
"Rushing to take my life? well, then I don't have to keep my hands. Shen Lu, whose eyes had turned red, said coldly to Luo Jun.
