For Pharcyde's big fans, another update.

...

Crowds swarmed the forests surrounding Martial Arts Arena No. 46.

Hearing the news, those who couldn't find a foothold manifested their magic and soared high into the sky.

For a moment, the airspace was filled with various Believers of different styles.

The battle between Da Xia's genius and the Martial Monk Believers from River Realm truly captivated people, filling them with anticipation.

Among the crowd, a woman in white stood on her sword, leaving the space around her empty, and no one dared to watch from in front or below her, so as not to obstruct her view.

"Teacher Jiang."

A middle-aged man with quite some gall, wearing a Big Red Robe, flew up to her.

Jiang Li's eyes were icy as she glanced at the man and nodded slightly in greeting.

The man was unfazed and, looking down at the battlefield, he joked,

"Teacher Jiang, it's rare to see you in person. Were you sent by the leadership to escort these two individuals?"

"I have an old connection with Lu Tianjiao's mother," Jiang Li said indifferently.

"I see," the man said with a nod before looking toward the battlefield. "Finally, we see the third on the Heavenly Pride list.

The guy's kept himself well hidden, not even removing his hat or mask during the fight."

Jiang Li: "..."

Do I look like someone who's good at small talk?

The man sighed, "These two, neither can afford to lose."

Jiang Li's lips parted slightly, "The Martial Monk Believer has already lost."

"Oh?"

"The only way he could lose, he's found it," Jiang Li scoffed coldly, her words as chilling as her visage, "Useless."

The man: "..."

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Teacher Jiang's insight is superior to mine. When the time comes, please remind me."

Jiang Li was clearly not one for many words, uttering just three, "The scapegoat."

"Mm," the man nodded.

For this battle to successfully ignite interest, one reason was the martial spirit of Wu Lie River University.

The second was Lu Ran's life-saving Divine Technique—Body of Substitute!

Considering the Divine·Immortal Goat's affection for Lu Ran, it would not be stingy to manifest and save its Believer.

With so many teachers watching, it was impossible for Lu Tianjiao to perish here.

Yet, Jiang Li's certainty that the Martial Monk Believer had already lost surprised the man.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield.

Lu Ran advanced rapidly through the Immortal Fog, his Dawn Blade slashing straight at the enemy's head.

Zhao Zhenren's face was grim as he held the two-meter-long Ancient Copper Stick, and with a fierce downward smash,

the head of the stick suddenly wrapped in a golden energy with white, twisted lines, like cracks.

Martial Monk Divine Skill·Golden Wind Shattering!

"Zi—"

Lu Ran's forward momentum halted abruptly; the ground under his feet crumbled as he suddenly shifted sideways.

"Pang!"

The stick's head slammed into the ground, and the golden energy exploded.

Waves of golden wind, like a raging sea, surged wildly around.

Lu Ran drew a lightning bolt symbol underfoot, continuing his assault with twin blades toward Zhao Zhenren.

Zhao Zhenren, unfazed, turned to block, positioning the Ancient Copper Stick at his side.

"Ding!"

A crisp clang resounded as the Dawn Blade grazed the Ancient Copper Stick, sparks scattering where they touched.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Zhao Zhenren's face changed slightly as he was forced three steps back.

All of a sudden, there was a wave of commotion from above and below.

Although Zhao Zhenren hadn't suffered any injuries, it seemed as if he was being heavily suppressed.

Vast River's warrior should easily take down a Believer of River Realm, but instead...

Zhao Zhenren's face grew unsightly!

He realized that he had an audience above and below; the incident had escalated.

Thus, he should firmly and swiftly defeat Lu Ran.

Yet, that previous strike had unleashed a tremendous force surprising Zhao Zhenren!

Was this the strength a Believer of River Realm should possess?

Lu Ran's innate Divine Power?

Or was it that the momentum of his charge was so ferocious it added more force?

If Lu Ran possessed such a level of strength, then his own water armor might not be able to withstand it!

Zhao Zhenren looked at his Ancient Copper Stick, noting the deep gash left by the blade which reflected the sharpness of the Divine Weapon and indicated Lu Ran's terrifying power.

"Is this all? River Realm?" called out Lu Ran from a distance.

Zhao Zhenren's eyes widened as he turned to look at Lu Ran.

Under the gaze of countless spectators, such humiliation was not something just anyone could bear.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran's retreating figure gradually came to a stop, twirling his blades, and a muffled voice emerged from behind the mask:

"I'm challenging you directly. What now?"

Zhao Zhenren nearly ground his teeth to bits!

Lu Ran wasn't just taunting with words but also infused the Divine Technique·Desolate Sound into his speech.

Unlike his encounter with Si Xianxian.

Lu Ran wasn't hiding his words; he was blatantly notifying:

"I, Lu Ran, am challenging you!

Now! What's! Next?"

"Lu Tianjiao, you've got guts!" Zhao Zhenren spat out through gritted teeth, his face turning ashen.

Once again, Lu Ran spoke, "Why don't you just release your Golden Wind?

If you can't beat me, you could at least save face by claiming you held back on purpose.

How about that?"

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Zhao Zhenren rushed forward with the Ancient Copper Stick in hand.

The sound of the Immortal Sheep filled his ears, fueling the violence in his heart!

"This is your own doing!" Zhao Zhenren bellowed, leaping into the air, the Ancient Copper Stick swinging ferociously toward Lu Ran.

"Zi—"

Lu Ran's figure swirled through the fog, abruptly shifting to the side.

In the midst of the thunderous explosions, a sound of Immortal Fog spurting out could be heard.

Zhao Zhenren reacted swiftly, spinning around with the stick to block.

This time, he put all his strength into it.

Yet, Lu Ran suddenly swung his arm, flinging the Dawn Blade with full force!

The Dawn Blade spun rapidly, tracing an arc through the air, heading straight for Zhao Zhenren's back.
