Chapter 211: Lu Yuping and Jia Lu



"Oh, it seems like it is quite lively tonight," Li Chen smiled and led Xue Wei towards the cage. No one was willing to make space for them, but by using her high cultivation base, she made an impenetrable barrier appear around Xue Wei and herself. When she moved forward, no matter if people wanted to or not, they were forced aside.

Some were grouchy about this, but when they saw that the culprit was Li Chen, they could only begrudgingly shut their mouths and try to squeeze in somewhere else.

There were two human figures inside this cage. One was slender and tall. He seemed extremely graceful as he stood in the middle of the cage with a mocking smile on his face and disdain in his eyes. He held a thin sword in his hands, which seemed as thin as a cicada’s wing.

Opposite him was a massive mountain-like man. He had bulging muscles all over his body and held a club in his hand. Just by looking at their weapons of choice it seemed that either the thin sword would cut through the club or it would be shattered by the sheer power of the club when swung by such a monstrous man.

When looking at them, Xue Wei had no doubt about which one was the Primordial Beast. The inborn disdain for humans made it clear, alongside the graceful nature. This was a Primordial Beast of decent standing.

"Want to know what race he is?" Li Chen by his side suddenly asked. Xue Wei was stumped by the question and narrowed his eyes. She worked as an information broker so it was highly likely that she knew, but it was also likely to cost him.

"What is the price for this knowledge?" he could not help but ask. It was a lie to say that he was not interested, but it completely depended on the price.

"I want you to challenge another fifth layer Heavenly Warrior in the cages," she said with a smile. "I want to see how you fight." Xue Wei had never expected this condition. He had been allured by the cage fighting. There were not many, if any, places where he could go to fight against someone as a test of his strength where no one would care about the aftermath, including murder.

Laughing, he nodded his head. "That is a deal," he agreed readily. Li Chen smiled. She knew who he was, and more importantly, what he was. As a result, it never crossed her mind that he might be losing against another fifth layered Heavenly Warrior.

What she was unaware of was that he had spent the last year only cultivating. He had been in a coma for seven months and after that he had been in closed door cultivation for roughly four months until now. He had not actually fought since reaching his current rank.

"This man is a Golden-Furred Cloud Leopard," Li Chen said casually. "He is considered one of the best fighters in the entire city. He is an Earth Knight. It is not often that you witness him fighting, so since you are seeing it, you should treasure this opportunity."

"His name is Lu Yuping. He has fought many people, but so far only a handful have made him take on his true shape. Let us see how far this challenger will be able to push him."

Xue Wei nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. He observed the Lu Yuping figure with narrowed eyes. Most of the Primordial Beasts Xue Wei had met so far had been incapable of sensing his strength as a Sovereign Beast unless he transformed or released the strength of the Azure Dragon Spirit in his dantian. At all other times, he would look exactly like a human.

Still, this Lu Yuping looked at Xue Wei before the battle began, his face displaying some shock and disbelief, which were quickly hidden again as he faced his opponent.

Lu Yuping swung the sword in a full moon casually before he looked at his challenger. "Do you think you stand a chance against me? I am a true Primordial Beast – and even one that has been at the seventh layer of the Earth Knight realm for quite some time. Do you honestly think you can beat me with your newly acquired seventh layer?"

There was pride, confidence, and even arrogance in Lu Yuping’s voice as he spoke to the human challenger, but his foe did not give in to the taunts.

He said nothing. He lifted the club in his hand, getting ready to charge as soon as the battle commenced.

There was no judge in these cage fights because there was nothing that was considered unfair or wrong. You could use anything at your disposal to defeat your opponent; even outside strength, such as the use of formations and pills, was allowed during the fights.

However, the fight did not start as soon as the fighters entered the cage. That was the only rule. They both had some time to prepare, and they could engage in psychological warfare as they did. This was not only for the sake of the contestants, but also to ensure that everyone had the time to put their bids on their preferred fighter. Not to mention the entertainment value behind it.

The broker who dealt with taking the bets finally appeared by the side of the cage. He was in charge of starting the battle when no more people went to place their bets. His appearance brought the atmosphere to a boil. The audience cheered with large smiles, all eyes glued to the two figures inside the cage.

"Begin!" was all the broker said loudly. Not even half a second had passed before Lu Yuping shot forward like a beam of light. He was heading straight for his opponent, his sword gleaming in the light that was cast from the light orbs illuminating the cave.

The human was much bigger than Lu Yuping and his frame resembled a mountain. He was at least two meters tall, his body bursting with thick muscles.

He narrowed his eyes as he watched the advancing Lu Yuping. Contrary to everyone’s expectation, he threw the club on the ground and took a horse stance.

His fist let loose a fist attack that Xue Wei did not recognize, but it was magnificent to look at.

Not only did it cause nine echoes to resound, but it was also covered in Qi that took the shape of a flood dragon and headed straight for Lu Yuping’s heart.

This fist attack required Qi, but the main reason for the nine echoes was the physical strength he poured into it. It seemed that although his Qi level had just advanced to the seventh layer of the Earth Knight realm, his physical strength had exceeded that long ago.

Xue Wei frowned slightly. How would this Lu Yuping deal with a fist attack that excelled at both brute strength and speed? With the form of a flood dragon, it quickly arrived in front to Lu Yuping and wrapped itself tightly around him, halting his advance.

Lu Yuping did not seem too troubled, however. He quickly wielded his sword, lifted it up for a moment, and slashed it down, beheading the flood dragon of Qi with an elegant stroke and dissipating the remainder of the energy into the air.

Lu Yuping stomped on the ground, causing cracks to appear on the floor, before he shot out at lightning speed toward his human challenger again. But the mountain-like man’s eyes were calm and collected despite witnessing how easily his flood dragon of Qi had been slaughtered.

Picking up the club by his side, the human challenger did not waste any more time and swung it to greet Lu Yuping. The sheer power behind this swing of the club was so overwhelming that the shockwaves caused even Xue Wei’s heart to palpitate. He might have become a Heavenly Warrior, but he felt weak as a chicken when facing something like this.

A sharp clang reverberated through the air as Lu Yuping chose to meet the club head on with his thin sword. It was hard to determine whether he expected to be able to cut through it, but he still swung his sword with all the power he could muster.

In the end, Lu Yuping was forced back several steps, while the mountain-like challenger advanced forward, not letting up, bashing down his club on the Primordial Beast, who only barely managed to keep himself out of danger.

His arrogant demeanor from before changed drastically to one of disbelief. This man was definitely not your average run-of-the-mill cultivator. His achievements in physical body cultivation were overwhelming; even Lu Yuping, a Primordial Beast, was having trouble fighting him.

Lu Yuping tried everything at his disposal, but he was forced back repeatedly. The truth is that Primordial Beasts in human shape were rather crippled when fighting.

Primordial Beasts could not train in the martial arts techniques of humans, but they had innate abilities. These innate abilities usually required the beast to be in its true shape to be used, so when fighting in their human shape, they had to depend on their superior physique.

Lu Yuping was the same. He had thought that his strength, speed, and senses were highly above every human he could encounter, yet now the truth showed that his opponent had a level of physical strength that could suppress even his superiority in speed. As a result, he was being pushed further and further back.

"Be proud of yourself!" Lu Yuping sneered as he started to transform. The eyes of the human challenger finally turned solemn. He pressed for an attack, but his club was suddenly stopped by a paw with very sharp set of claws. These claws made indents on the surface of the club as they gripped it, and then the club was tossed aside, causing the challenger to stumble. However, he did not let go of his weapon.

Lu Yuping had stopped looking down on his opponent. His heart was filled with resentment for this human who had pushed him so far, but he was not going to play with the opponent. Even after having transformed, he felt an immense pressure from this mountain-like challenger. Perhaps he truly had some sort of ability that could threaten even Primordial Beasts.

"Who is the challenger?" Xue Wei asked Li Chen by his side. Her face cracked a smile as she looked at the young man by her side. "Finally interested in him?" she asked teasingly, causing Xue Wei to roll his eyes. Although he had not known this woman for long, he felt that she held no malice towards him and she was also rather friendly.

As to why she had changed so suddenly, he did not know, but his guess was that it had to do with the Intelligencer.

Still, he looked expectantly at the woman, who covered her mouth with a hand as she giggled. "He is quite famous," she said mysteriously, noticing that not only was Xue Wei listening attentively to her, but everyone within hearing distance had perked their ears and were listening in on the conversation.

"He is a Primordial Beast Hunter named Jia Lu. He can just about count as someone who came from the center of the continent." Xue Wei raised a brow in surprise. A Primordial Beast Hunter here? Was that not very unusual?
