Chapter 45 Group Stage

Among the dense crowd, twenty people immediately walked out to the steward.

"Second group, come here!"

"The third group, come here!"

"..."

There are a total of 340 groups, and each group has a steward in charge. As for the steward's own cultivation, at least they are in the middle or late stage of marrow washing, and most of them are in their forties or fifties.

"Group 122, come here!"

After a cup of tea, we finally arrived at Group 122 where Lu Chen was.

Lu Chen also stepped out.

"Qiuye is in charge!" Lu Chen bowed his hands to Lu Qiuye, who was in charge of his group, and stood aside.

"Damn it, why am I in a group with Chase Lu?"

"The luck is too bad. There is no chance of winning against Lu Chen."

Seeing Lu Chen in his group, several Lu family children who were already standing beside Lu Qiuye frowned secretly, changed their minds helplessly, smiled wryly and shook their heads.

Lu Chen defeated Lu Yan at the family's coming-of-age ceremony. In the Zhenbao Pavilion not long ago, Wang Xiaotian, the son of the head of the Wang family, was defeated again. Almost everyone in the Lu family here has heard of this matter. Of course they understand that Chase Lu is powerful.

If I face off against Chase Lu, where is there any hope of winning?

But fortunately, there are three people in each group who can advance, even if Chase Lu occupies one spot, there are still two places left.

The other nineteen people can still compete for these two places.

"Come with me!" Lu Qiuye said lightly when all twenty team members had gathered.

Lu Chen and others followed him to a fighting arena.

At this moment, there are already many groups, and the battle has begun.

The Lu family's martial arts arena is very huge, and there are hundreds of martial arts platforms on it.

Three hundred and forty groups can compete at the same time.

"Lu Chen, go to the martial arts platform!" After standing still in front of the martial arts platform, Lu Qiuye turned around and said to Lu Chen.

"Okay!" Lu Chen didn't hesitate, and quickly got on the fighting stage.

Among this group, Chase Lu is the strongest, so he was the first to fight.

"Lu Hu, you go to the fighting arena and fight Lu Chen." Lu Qiuye said to the chubby Lu Hu again.

Lu Rover's face immediately turned pale.

Although the members of this group are very clear about the rules of the battle and know themselves, they will definitely have a battle with Chase Lu. Land Rover is also aware of this. However, when it was time to actually play, I still couldn't help being a little flustered.

However, the steward has already said everything, so it's okay if you don't want to play.

Lu Hu looked at the other people around him, and suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll go up first! By the way, you don't need to pity me, anyway, you will fight Brother Lu Chen just like me."

With that said, Lu Hu dragged his chubby body and boarded the martial arts arena.

Lu Hu is a martial artist in the middle stage of body tempering. He is seventeen years old this year, one year older than Chen Lu.

Hearing his words, the others all stared at him with wide eyes.

"Brother Lu Chen, you have to be merciful, don't hurt me, I still want to enter the knockout round." Lu Hu pleaded to Lu Chen with a bitter face.

The rewards of the group stage are of course incomparable with the knockout stage.

Those who can enter the knockout rounds are considered elites.

Out of 6,800 members, only a little over 1,000 entered the knockout round through the group stage. Nearly seven people, only one can enter the knockout round.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Lu Chen smiled.

For practitioners in the middle stage of body tempering, of course, Lu Chen is sure to defeat the opponent without hurting the opponent at all.

"However, you should just admit defeat." Lu Chen turned.

If the opponent directly admits defeat, Lu Chen can save some internal energy. Although defeating a cultivator in the mid-stage of Body Tempering would not consume much internal energy, it would be best not to make a move.

To use martial arts, one must consume internal energy.

In this group match, there is not only one fight, but a total of nineteen fights for everyone.

"Brother Lu Chen, this is the first martial arts fight I have participated in this year's family competition. It would be very unlucky if I admit defeat without making a move!" Lu Hu forced a helpless smile on his face.

What he meant was that he actually wanted to admit defeat, but admitting defeat like this might affect his next battle.

"Shua!"

At this moment, Land Rover suddenly moved. When he launched the attack, the voice did not fall completely.

A moment ago, he called brother Lu Chen affectionately, but at the next moment, he directly urged his inner strength to make a move.

This chubby guy was very scheming. He first showed weakness to Lu Chen, intending to paralyze Lu Chen, and then suddenly launched a sneak attack.

"Hey!" Lu Rover's weapon was a blue long axe with no rank. However, the ax blade was very sharp, and under the infusion of internal force, it also made a whistling and piercing sound.

"Hehe..." Lu Chen smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Lu Hu thought that his actions were very fast, and he did it without warning. If he was facing an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of body tempering, he might really succeed. However, he was facing Chase Lu.

In Lu Chen's eyes, his movements were too slow. Just waiting for a moment, Lu Chen had time to make a move.

"Go!" Lu Chen's inner strength moved slightly, and a sword light flashed out.

Jian Guang condensed lightly in the space, shaking the surrounding air slightly.

The sword shadow moved towards the Lu Hu who was coming up quickly.

The long ax and the sword shadow collided violently in the air.

"Hey!" The two clashed, followed by a muffled sound.

The surrounding light was slightly distorted.

"Ah!" Lu Hu could only feel a terrifying force, transmitted from the long ax in his hand to his whole body.

This force is definitely not something he can resist. He feels that what is coming from the opposite side is like a heavy mountain, making him unable to see the hope of defense at all.

Before he had time to turn more thoughts, his body flew out uncontrollably. A terrifying force rolled him like a fallen leaf.

"Do you want...so fast!" Lu Rover flew upside down in the air and shouted.

In fact, he also knew that he had no chance to defeat Lu Chen at all, just because he went up and conceded directly, he was too unwilling. So, he used some small means to paralyze Lu Chen, and then tried to see if he could find a chance.

However, in the face of absolute strength, any means are useless.

"puff!"

Lu Hu's chubby body flew in the air for a while, and then hit the ground heavily with its belly facing down. The long ax in his hand touched the hard ground, and a series of sparks jumped out immediately.

"In the first match, Lu Chen wins!" Lu Qiuye quickly announced the end of the match.

At this time, Lu Rover stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"Thank you Brother Lu Chen!" Lu Hu bowed to thank Lu Chen who was opposite him.

Although he seemed to be knocked out and his posture was very inelegant, he was not actually injured. Lu Hu is not stupid, of course he understands that this is Lu Chen's mercy. If Lu Chen didn't deliberately control his internal power, even if he would not be easily killed in this family competition, if he was just injured, no one would be able to gossip.

Lu Chen smiled and nodded at Lu Rover.

"Lu Chen, do you want to continue the battle? Or take a break?" Lu Qiuye asked again at this time.

If Lu Chen wants to rest, she will arrange for two other people to fight. If Lu Chen wants to continue fighting, then she will arrange for someone to go to the fighting arena to fight Lu Chen.

"Go on!" Lu Chen, after a little pondering, said.

"Okay!" Lu Qiuye said.

"Lu Xiaoming, go to the fighting arena." Lu Qiuye said to a Lu family disciple beside him.

Lu Xiaoming stepped onto the fighting stage with a sad face.

"Brother Lu Chen, I admit defeat!" Lu Xiaoming took the initiative to admit defeat.

His strength is only in the late stage of bone refining, so where is there any chance?

Instead of making a move and being directly sent flying by Chase Lu, it's better to just admit defeat. Besides, even if Lu Chen didn't hit hard, it still hurts to fall on the ground.

"Second match, Lu Chen wins!"

"In the third match, Lu Chen wins!"

In this group, more than half are practitioners in the realm of bone refining. After they came to power, they had no intention of fighting Lu Chen at all, and directly chose to admit defeat.

Therefore, Lu Chen's battle was ridiculously fast. In a short period of time, there have been ten battles.

Ten consecutive victories.

"Lu Hongfang, you go to the martial arts arena to fight Lu Chen!" Lu Qiuyue said to a female practitioner.

"Yes!" Lu Hongfang responded briskly, leaped onto the fighting stage, and stood opposite Lu Chen.

Lu Hongfang is a cultivator in the late stage of Body Tempering.

In Lu Chen's group, besides Lu Chen, Lu Hongfang was one of the highest-level cultivators. Like her, they are in the late stage of Body Tempering, and there are only two of them.

That is to say, in this group, after Chase Lu occupied one quota for advancement, the remaining two quotas should be produced among the three practitioners in the late stage of body quenching.

Of course, there will be accidents. Generally speaking, practitioners in the late stage of body tempering are much stronger than those in the middle stage of body tempering. But there are always exceptions. In the Lu family's family competition, there are many examples of people who defeated practitioners in the middle stage of body tempering and late stage of body tempering.

When two practitioners fight against each other, martial arts and weapons are also part of the overall strength.

"Lu Chen, I know you are very strong, even Wang Xiaotian is no match for you." After Lu Hongfang went up to the martial arts arena, he glanced at Lu Chen and said seriously.

"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded, "Then you admit defeat!"

It's a little indecent for a girl to be knocked out and throw a dog to eat shit, so Lu Chen hopes that the other party will admit defeat directly.

"Hmph, I won't admit defeat. In Lu Hongfang's dictionary, I don't have the word admit defeat. Lu Chen, if you want to drive me out of the fighting arena, you have to beat me! Beat me upright!" Lu Hongfang snorted softly, as proud as a little hen protecting her cubs, her fighting spirit was high.

"I, Lu Hongfang, although I was born in a small town, is no better than the Lu family's children born in the Lu family compound in Qingfeng City. However, I also have my arrogance."

"I've been practicing hard all these years, and I just want to catch up with and even surpass those of you in the Lu family compound!"

"..."

Lu Hongfang spoke one paragraph after another, endlessly.

This Lu Hongfang was indeed not born in the Lu family compound, but in a small town controlled by the Lu family.

The Lu family is in charge of quite a few towns within the Qingfeng City area. A long time ago, some children of the Lu family were sent to those towns to manage the property of the Lu family. Therefore, it was inevitable that in these towns, some children of the Lu family were born and gradually formed a small family.

Lu Hongfang obviously has such an identity.

Compared with the children of the Lu family compound in Qingfeng City, the Lu family in those small towns can get less cultivation resources.

These people pay more attention to the Lu family's three-year family competition, because this opportunity is their hope of turning around.
