Chapter 428: Number One in Huaibei!
No one was willing to admit this, but no one dared to look Chen Luo in the eye.
“I’ll stand right here, without moving my feet or left hand, and without using my true energy. I’ll only use my right hand to compete with you.”
“And you can use any means to deal with me.”
“How about that?” Chen Luo said with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing these words, the hundreds of spectators below the stage erupted in exclamations of surprise.
Chen Luo not moving his feet and left hand was one thing, but not using true energy… that seemed a bit too confident!
It’s well known that a martial artist’s most important offensive means is true energy.
The gap between various martial arts realms is actually reflected in the strength of one’s true energy.
Most martial artists, without true energy, aren’t much different from ordinary people, at most having slightly more combat techniques and a somewhat stronger body.
These young people facing Chen Luo, although far less talented than him, were all at least at the Master level or above, and their strength was definitely not weak!
Without using true energy, using only his right hand, he might actually suffer a bit!
“Luo’er…” Behind the fighting stage, Lu Wanrong’s expression changed, wanting to speak up.
“Don’t speak! Chen Luo knows what he’s doing!” Old Master Chen stopped Lu Wanrong.
In the waiting area, the young people had various expressions.
Some were tempted, some were surprised, and others were angry.
Chen Luo proposing such conditions clearly showed he didn’t take them seriously!
“How about it? Still not daring? Then I’ll give you another choice – everyone kneel down, kowtow to me three times, and then you can leave. This martial arts tournament will end here.” Chen Luo said with a cold smile.
Hearing this, all the young people’s expressions changed.
Including the representatives of various powers behind them.
Too arrogant, too overbearing!
This was naked humiliation!
“This is too much!” Some family representatives gritted their teeth in anger.
“I accept!”
At this moment, Hu Tianyi shouted from among the young people.
“I accept too!” Other young people joined in shouting.
“This…” Among the chief judges, an old man in black turned to Zhao Jidao and said, “Chairman Zhao, this doesn’t seem to follow the rules, does it?”
“No, let it be this way.” Zhao Jidao said, looking at Chen Luo on the stage.
“I’ll go first!” Hu Tianyi shouted loudly, leaping onto the fighting stage.
“You said it yourself – no true energy, no using three limbs!” Hu Tianyi asked, staring at Chen Luo with bloodshot eyes.
After Chen Luo said they should kneel and kowtow, Hu Tianyi’s anger had burned to the extreme, and he could no longer hold back.
Not using three limbs and true energy?
He wanted to beat Chen Luo half to death, make him kneel and beg for mercy!
With so many people watching, he wasn’t afraid Chen Luo would go back on his word!
If Chen Luo did that, then he and the Chen family would be the ones disgraced!
“Of course.”
“However, I didn’t mean for you to come up one by one.”
“I meant all of you together,” Chen Luo said with a mocking smile.
All together!?
Hearing this, the crowd below the stage once again erupted in an uproar!
Chen Luo’s self-imposed restrictions were already severe, and now he wanted to face multiple opponents in this state?
There were forty young people in the waiting area, from various families and sects, with the weakest being at the Master level.
Chen Luo wanted to face forty opponents without using true energy and with only his right hand?
This wasn’t just arrogance anymore, it was madness!
How confident must he be in his abilities to make such a demand!?
“I won’t waste too much time on you insects. This is your only chance.” Chen Luo glanced at the young Masters in the waiting area below.
Chen Luo’s provocation stimulated all the young Masters below the stage!
“Ah… never mind all that, let’s beat him up first!”
All the young martial artists swarmed onto the fighting stage!
“Luo’er!”
On the Chen family’s side, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically!
Including Old Master Chen, who had remained calm and composed!
Chen Luo’s behavior was indeed too arrogant!
Although he knew clearly that Chen Luo wouldn’t be foolish enough to adhere to using only his right hand if it meant serious injury.
But if Chen Luo broke his restrictions and used true energy, he would be slapping his own face and that of the Chen family!
Just to establish authority, there was no need to go to such extremes!
But now, those young Masters had been thoroughly provoked, and no one could stop them from rushing toward Chen Luo!
Within seconds, forty young Masters from various families and sects all arrived on the fighting stage.
They stared at Chen Luo with bloodshot eyes.
“Come on, I’m standing right here.” Chen Luo kept his left hand behind his back and extended his right hand, beckoning to the martial artists in front of him.
“Ah…”
The various martial artists roared in anger and launched their attacks at Chen Luo simultaneously!
They were truly enraged and each used their strongest techniques!
Forty Masters exploding with power together created an extremely powerful force.
Stream after stream of true energy shot directly at Chen Luo!
“Quickly form a barrier!” At this moment, Zhao Jidao ordered the four old men in black beside him.
The four old men reacted, moving to the four corners of the fighting stage, forming hand seals and quickly conjuring a light barrier that enveloped the entire stage.
“Boom…”
As soon as the barrier formed, a series of explosions erupted inside the fighting stage, and the entire ground began to shake.
The spectators let out exclamations of surprise, their eyes fixed on what was happening on the stage.
The last scene they saw was the true energy blasting toward Chen Luo, while he stood in place with a disdainful expression.
“Boom…”
The power exploding on the fighting stage struck the barrier, producing a series of loud sounds.
The four old men maintaining the barrier all changed expression, gritting their teeth and increasing their true energy input, barely managing to maintain the barrier from shattering!
…
Method Yu and the others sitting in the distant banquet hall also felt the ground shaking.
Zhao Zinan was startled and grabbed Zhao Xuan’s arm.
“One against forty, I must say, Chen Luo is overdoing it. How could he possibly withstand the full-force attack of forty Masters without using his Saint-level cultivation? And if he does use it, isn’t he just shooting himself in the foot? Why go to such extremes?” Zhao Xuan commented, shaking his head.
“He has that capability,” Method Yu said.
“Oh? Young Master Method, you believe Chen Luo can really defeat forty Masters using only his right hand?” Zhao Xuan turned his head, asking with wide eyes.
“He can, and quite easily,” Method Yu answered.
Indeed, without possessing sufficient power, it’s hard to believe in the possibility of one defeating many.
But in fact, for a true powerhouse facing opponents far weaker than themselves, it really is no different from facing a group of ants.
Method Yu had crossed hands with Chen Luo before and had roughly gauged his strength.
Now that Chen Luo had advanced to the Yuan Ying stage, not to mention true energy, his physical body alone would have improved significantly.
Add to that the two rings on his right hand that could manipulate the power of laws, dealing with these forty Masters would pose no pressure at all.
“Young Master Method, I must bet against you on this. I believe Chen Luo cannot defeat these forty Masters without using true energy,” Zhao Xuan said.
“Fine, how much do you want to bet?” Method Yu smiled.
“Let’s bet a hundred thousand, just for fun,” Zhao Xuan said.
“I have no objection,” Method Yu said.
He had just run out of money recently, and Zhao Xuan was voluntarily delivering money to his doorstep – nothing could be better.
“Boom!”
While Method Yu and Zhao Xuan were talking, another huge explosion erupted on the fighting stage.
More than a dozen Masters were sent flying, crashing heavily into the surrounding barrier before falling to the ground, unable to rise.
At this point, everyone could clearly see what was happening on the fighting stage.
Chen Luo stood in place, his right hand forming a palm, striking forward.
There wasn’t a trace of true energy flowing on his body.
The force that sent those Masters flying came entirely from the power of his palm!
“Ah…”
Screams rose and fell in succession, continuous and unending.
Chen Luo wore a mocking cold smile, and his seemingly casual palm strike contained terrifying power!
In just a dozen seconds, all forty Masters had been blasted off the fighting stage, lying on the ground and moaning in pain.
Everyone around the fighting stage was stunned.
They stared at Chen Luo, who still stood in his original position without moving half a step, their eyes wide open, eyeballs almost falling out.
Chen Luo had really done it!
Without using true energy, using only his right hand, he had defeated forty Masters! And he had done it with extreme ease!
“So powerful…”
Everyone present stared at Chen Luo with awe.
Such a prodigy would be destined to become a king in any era, and they were convinced.
Those young Masters lying on the ground moaning in pain formed a stark contrast with Chen Luo standing on the fighting stage.
Chen Luo had truly stepped on the faces of these so-called geniuses to reach the pinnacle!
At this moment, this also symbolized one thing.
From now on, Chen Luo would be the king of Huaibei, and the Chen family would be the number one family!
“If anyone else is not convinced, feel free to come up and challenge me, regardless of age or identity.” Chen Luo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on everyone!
A deathly silence surrounded the fighting stage, no one dared to speak!
On a distant pavilion stood two figures.
“Now you have the strength to match him. This is your best opportunity to enter the stage,” the man standing on the left said calmly.
“No, we must wait. I need an absolutely foolproof opportunity,” the man on the right answered.
This person was none other than the missing Han Qi!
At this moment, Han Qi’s entire right face was covered with black patterns, his right eye glowing red, giving him an extremely eerie appearance!
He glanced at Chen Luo on the fighting stage, then looked toward the distant banquet hall.
He had just discovered that Method Yu was sitting there!
Since Method Yu had come here today, he would definitely take action!
And Han Qi was waiting for this opportunity.
Once Method Yu and Chen Luo started fighting, he could reap the benefits!
With his current strength, taking down both injured parties would not be a problem.
“Method Yu, the stage has been set, and I’m just waiting for you to come up and perform your supporting role.” Han Qi looked at the distant banquet hall, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
