Chapter 317 Demonstrating Strength
"Zhu Lei wants to challenge Instructor Li Lan? What does that mean?"
"Heh, isn't it obvious? Someone dislikes Li Lan and wants to embarrass him in public. Don't forget, Li Lan was previously engaged to Cheng Yusu..."
"Don't even mention it, Li Lan is only at the second level of Qi Refining. He's not qualified to be an instructor at all. Now that he's been challenged, he's bound to end up in a sorry state!"
Everyone started to speak.
The young man named Zhu Lei was one of Gu Lianxi's confidants. He looked directly at Elder Chen Jinhua and asked, "Elder Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Jinhua frowned.
Although coaches also have the responsibility of sparring partners, Zhu Lei clearly had ill intentions at this moment.
Li Lan, after all, had rendered meritorious service to the Fudaozhe Group and was valued by Elder Deng. It would be bad to make Li Lan lose face in public...
Although he had personally witnessed Li Lan kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators, the three Zhou brothers were seriously injured at the time, and Li Lan was just lucky. Now, Zhu Lei is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while Li Lan is only at the second level of Qi Refining. The gap in their cultivation levels is insurmountable.
"Heh, you think you can just challenge the instructor like that? You really think you're something special."
At this moment, Xie Kang, who was standing next to Li Lan, suddenly sneered and stepped forward, saying, "You want to fight? Fine, then spar with us first before you have the right to challenge our instructors!"
Zhao Yi and Su Ling also stepped forward, their faces cold.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jinhua's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "That's fine then, Zhu Lei. If you want to challenge Li Lan, why don't you defeat a few of the geniuses he has taught first—"
Seeing this, Zhu Lei's face darkened, and he said, "A few bumpkins from a few counties dare to stick their necks out?"
He held Zhao Yi and the others in utter contempt, saying, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish—"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and threw a fierce punch at Xie Kang.
As he threw his punch, a tiger's roar could be heard; this was the Fierce Tiger Fist, extremely powerful.
But Xie Kang didn't back down at all. Instead, he raised his fist and slammed it down hard.
boom!
With a muffled thud, a figure was sent flying backward and crashed heavily a dozen steps away.
"Zhu Lei lost?"
"what?"
"He's no match for Xie Kang?"
Everyone was astonished.
Xie Kang's cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining, which was even lower than Zhu Lei's. How could he possibly defeat his enemy in one move?
"Ok?"
Even Chen Jinhua was surprised; Xie Kang's punching power seemed ridiculously strong.
"Arrogant, huh? How come you're not arrogant anymore? You can't even withstand one punch from me, Fatty, and you still want to challenge our instructor? You're not worthy!"
Xie Kang mocked him without restraint, but the people around him no longer dared to underestimate him.
"Ha, you're so arrogant after winning a few small victories. If I didn't know better, I'd think you won the Mount Tai Tournament!"
At this moment, another young man stepped out from next to Gu Lianxi and said, "Little Fatty, I'll have a go at you!"
His cultivation level is one level higher than Zhu Lei's, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Among the many geniuses present, he is already considered a master.
Xie Kang, ever the nonchalant one, was about to agree, but Zhao Yi had already stepped forward and said calmly, "I'll do it."
Xie Kang defeated Zhu Lei just now. It seemed easy, but in fact, he used up a lot of spiritual energy in that punch and needs to rest!
"Go away!"
The young man let out a cold shout and charged towards Xie Kang, determined to teach Xie Kang a lesson. However, Zhao Yi blocked him with a palm strike. The young man's anger rose instantly, and with a flick of his finger, a fireball shot towards Zhao Yi.
Fireball!
At the Qi Refining stage, this spell is already considered extremely lethal.
However, Zhao Yi waved his hand, and a water curtain appeared, blocking the fireball. Then he also launched a fireball, but this fireball was as big as a fist, several times the size of the young man's.
"what?"
The young man was taken aback and found it difficult to stop. At the critical moment, Chen Jinhua waved his hand, and the fireball was extinguished instantly.
But the young man's face had turned pale, and he stood there stunned.
"Huang Ming, you lost."
Chen Jinhua spoke calmly.
The young man then realized what was happening, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhao Yi. He was speechless with embarrassment.
"Huang Ming is already considered a master, how could he lose?"
"This is a bit outrageous. Are these guys from the South City branch really that strong?"
"Wait, their magic... the style seems a bit different from ours."
Everyone was astonished.
Even Chen Jinhua couldn't help but look at Li Lan and ask, "Li Lan, how did you teach them?"
He had been to the South City branch before and knew Zhao Yi and Xie Kang quite well; he had never been this formidable before.
"Just teach them casually; they're just naturally talented."
Li Lan smiled.
Chen Jinhua frowned slightly, but did not ask any further questions.
"You've finished your challenge, it's our turn now!"
At this moment, Su Ling stepped forward, looked directly at Gu Lianxi, and said, "I challenge you—"
Everyone in the room was shocked.
Gu Lianxi is a true genius. His cultivation has reached the sixth level of the late stage of Qi Refining. Apart from a few people like Cheng Yusu and Bai Ruijie, who would dare to challenge him?
Su Ling is actually so bold?
Even Cheng Yusu and Bai Ruijie couldn't help but pay attention at this moment.
"You, you're challenging me?!"
Gu Lianxi seemed to be stunned for a moment before bursting into angry laughter, saying, "You actually dare to challenge me?"
"Very good, very good!"
He glanced at Li Lan and said, "Since you want to protect him, then I'll let him see for himself what it's like to have your arms and legs broken!"
He took action immediately!
With a loud shout, he moved with incredible speed, like a snow leopard, far ahead of Huang Ming, and arrived in front of Su Ling in the blink of an eye.
Su Ling has already achieved a breakthrough in the past two weeks, but she has only reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!
She dodged, took a half-step to the side, and then began fighting with Gu Lianxi.
Gu Lianxi's moves were extremely disciplined, truly befitting Gu Ruoxu's grandson, with strict rules and regulations. Su Ling, on the other hand, was completely different; her moves seemed to leave no trace, acting entirely at will.
But it was this unrestrained fighting style that actually allowed her to fight Gu Lianxi, who was two levels higher than her, to a standstill, with neither side able to gain the upper hand!
"What's going on?"
"This Su Ling, she actually managed to fight against a stronger opponent?"
"Is she really that talented?"
Everyone was astonished.
Even Chen Jinhua was surprised once again, but he frowned and couldn't tell anything, after all, his cultivation level was too low.
"This doesn't seem like the technique we taught..." he murmured.
Su Ling wouldn't be able to achieve this level relying solely on the unified cultivation methods taught by the Fudao Group!
"The methods these people use are a bit strange."
Cheng Yusu also said.
"Hmm, it seems like it's mixed with some other things..."
Bai Ruijie pondered for a moment, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Go to hell!"
At this moment, Gu Lianxi was completely enraged. As a high-level cultivator, he couldn't even defeat a woman of a lower realm. This was an utter disgrace. A flash of spiritual light appeared in front of him, and he slashed at Su Ling with all his might.
A barrier of light appeared before Su Ling, blocking the slash. The blow forced her back ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Opposite her, Gu Lianxi was also nearly exhausted.
At that moment, Su Ling, who seemed to be seriously injured, suddenly shot out like a catapult and arrived in front of Gu Lianxi in the blink of an eye, striking out with a palm!
"what?"
"She can still fight?"
"what happened?"
Everyone around was shocked. Gu Lianxi was caught off guard. Even if he wanted to resist, he could no longer muster his spiritual power. With a huge force in his chest, he was slammed seven or eight steps away and coughed up blood!
Gu Lianxi...lost?
Everyone was shocked.
"No, there must be something wrong with the method they're practicing!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward, glaring angrily at Li Lan, and said, "Li Lan, what kind of sorcery have you taught them?!"
The middle-aged man was named Shen Qi, a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. In the entire training camp, apart from Chen Jinhua, there were only two Foundation Establishment instructors. He was responsible for teaching Gu Lianxi, Zhao Qiurong, and others, while the other person was responsible for Bai Ruijie, Cheng Yusu, and others.
Other ordinary geniuses want to choose him? Absolutely not.
Therefore, seeing Gu Lianxi defeated, he felt embarrassed and questioned Li Lan on the spot.
Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "I'm only at the second level of Qi Refining, what can I teach them?"
Shen Qi was speechless, his gaze darkening, and he said, "Very well, very well. In that case, I will challenge you!"
Gu Lianxi was his most prized disciple. If he didn't get revenge today, how would he ever face anyone again?
Li Lan shook her head: "I'm sorry, I refuse."
He had absolutely no interest.
However, in Shen Qi's eyes, this was Li Lan's way of showing that she didn't take him seriously at all. He was instantly furious, his aura suddenly bursting out. With a loud shout, he appeared in front of Li Lan in the blink of an eye and placed his large hand directly on Li Lan's shoulder!
"Give me a sigh!"
He roared, unleashing the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even a large tree would break under his weight, let alone Li Lan, who is only at the second level of Qi Refining.
He wanted to embarrass Li Lan on the spot and save face!
But Li Lan's expression turned slightly cold as she glanced at him.
boom!
Suddenly, Shen Qi was inexplicably thrown backward, almost unable to stand, staggering, pale-faced, and with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!
"what?"
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Instantly, everyone was shocked and looked at Li Lan in disbelief.
