"So, you should hurry back to avoid raising suspicions with Yuan Jia!"
Lu Chen was not worried about himself; instead, he was concerned about Kong Hao. Yuan Jia was Kong Hao's mentor, and if Kong Hao came to warn Lu Chen, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings if Yuan Jia saw them.
"Brother Lu Chen, you haven't broken through the Divine Power Body yet, and you are definitely no match for Senior Brother Yuan Jia. This is not a joke; one misstep could lead to death. Take my advice and leave while you still can."
Kong Hao chased after him, determined to persuade Lu Chen not to go and get himself killed. In response, Lu Chen deliberately quickened his pace, leaving Kong Hao behind.
A hint of sorrow flashed across Kong Hao's face. In his view, Lu Chen had no chance of survival today. It was a pity for such a loyal and sensible friend who valued relationships over life.
Kong Hao and Lu Chen had not known each other for long, but Lu Chen's way of handling matters and his open-mindedness deeply impressed Kong Hao, who secretly regarded him as a friend.
If it weren't for already following Yuan Jia, he might have joined Lu Chen long ago.
Lu Chen walked quickly forward and stopped only when he was just a few dozen steps away from Yuan Jia.
At that moment, Yuan Jia was surrounded by his loyal subordinates, exuding an imposing presence.
There were at least forty or fifty loyal followers who had come with Yuan Jia; they were the first to receive news and came directly. In their eyes, Yuan Jia was guaranteed to win today; defeating Lu Chen was a given. Each of them wore smiles, basking in their success.
"Lu Chen, you really came! Good, very good! You've got guts!"
Yuan Jia turned around with a wicked smile. Immediately, a powerful aura emanated from his body, shocking everyone around him. This aura belonged to a Divine Power Golden Body Qi Master.
Indeed, Yuan Jia had broken through the Divine Power Body. He had consumed two Active Longevity Pills in succession and spent three hours refining them, resulting in a rapid increase in his cultivation level. He had directly broken through the constraints of the Divine Power Body and became a Third-Stage Qi Master, impervious to blades and bullets.
At this moment, Yuan Jia's aura grew even larger and more formidable. Even from dozens of steps away, one could feel a strong surge of energy rushing towards them, making it feel as if they were facing a roaring flame.
"Indeed, I'm here to experience your Divine Power Body and Hundred Steps King Fist," Lu Chen said with a faint smile, standing his ground. He did not exert much of his own aura to pressure others, appearing very calm.
Yuan Jia laughed heartily, showing no surprise at Lu Chen revealing his possession of the Hundred Steps King Fist.
Yuan Jia said, "It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down. Since you are here, don't think about leaving; stay on this Martial Arts Peak."
"Who stays and who goes is still uncertain," Lu Chen replied slowly. Although his cultivation was not on par with Yuan Jia's, he surprisingly displayed a hint of confidence at that moment.
"Let's talk with strength!"
Yuan Jia stepped forward heavily, his flesh like a massive bell. With a loud crash, he stomped down on the marble floor in front of him, cracking it instantly.
Then, Yuan Jia leaned forward and charged fiercely like a primordial beast, carrying the overwhelming aura of the Divine Power Body, unstoppable as he lunged toward Lu Chen.
Seeing this scene, those watching from the surroundings understood what was happening.
However, there weren't many people observing at Martial Arts Peak because the news of Lu Chen and Yuan Jia's duel had not been widely publicized; only their close associates were aware.
The person who went to Empty Mountain Cave to deliver a message to Lu Chen was also one of Yuan Jia's trusted subordinates. He went and returned without anyone from the Five Element Sect's higher-ups knowing about it.
Yuan Jia's breakthrough to the Divine Power Body and his duel with Lu Chen were driven not only by an unresolved grudge but also by a desire to establish his authority through Lu Chen.
If Yuan Jia were to kill Lu Chen on Martial Arts Peak, his reputation would undoubtedly overshadow that of Sang Tuling, who ranked first on the Renowned List.
With this, even Yuan Jia's Yuan Family would benefit, at least in terms of momentum, overshadowing the Sang Family.
Seeing Yuan Jia charging towards him with fierce momentum, Lu Chen understood that Yuan Jia aimed to overwhelm him from the start. If he could dominate his opponent right away, it would undoubtedly give him the upper hand, so he couldn't afford to retreat in this initial battle.
Lu Chen let out a loud roar and dashed forward. When they were less than twenty steps apart, Lu Chen pushed off the ground and leaped high into the air, his right arm extended as he unleashed a powerful punch, channeling ninety-nine percent of his strength towards Yuan Jia.
Yuan Jia mirrored his actions, a wicked smile on his face. He was eager for a direct confrontation with Lu Chen. Conversely, if Lu Chen opted for a nimble escape strategy, it would be more challenging for him to counter.
"Bang!"
In the Martial Arts Arena, sparks flew as Lu Chen's and Yuan Jia's fists collided, instantly sending waves of True Qi scattering in all directions.
The crowd watching from hundreds of steps away felt a strong gust of wind rush towards them, tousling their hair.
After the clash, both fighters were pushed back simultaneously.
Lu Chen's body flew backward and landed ten steps away. He felt a burning pain in his arm as if it were on fire; his bones felt like they were about to shatter, and blood surged back through his veins, an unbearable sensation.
Looking across at Yuan Jia, he had stumbled back a few steps but quickly regained his footing.
His face flushed slightly but soon returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The Qi Master of the Divine Power Body was indeed formidable. Lu Chen felt the heavy backlash reverberate through his body, causing his Qi to surge and making him feel unsteady.
Enduring the discomfort brought by his flesh, Lu Chen stood still in place. Fortunately, he had the Supreme Garment protecting him; otherwise, his flesh might have truly been shattered.
The Supreme Garment is crafted from Dragonfire Placenta, providing unimaginable protection for Flesh and capable of revitalizing the blood vessels of Flesh after injury, restoring physical strength.
Given Yuan Jia's explosive power just now, even wearing the Nether War Armor would likely result in being overwhelmed. Lu Chen truly experienced this firsthand.
He was fortunate that during his time in the Wind Blinder Archipelago, Lu Chen did not take the risk of confronting the Great Strength Monk. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have survived, as the Great Strength Monk's Qigong is far more formidable than Yuan Jia's.
With a hissing sound, Lu Chen realized something was wrong; a barely noticeable crack had appeared in his Essence Sphere.
The Essence Sphere was shattered by the rebounding force of Qigong. Lu Chen felt a sinking sensation in his heart; how could the Essence Sphere be cracked? What kind of situation was this? Would there be adverse consequences?
Originally contained within his body, the Essence Sphere was fractured by Yuan Jia's Qigong. Lu Chen momentarily panicked, unable to think too much as Yuan Jia launched a second attack.
"Whoosh"
Yuan Jia's punches came like thunder, his iron fists slicing through the air with flashes of lightning, both sound and fury present as Flesh moved swiftly towards Lu Chen.
"Swish"
With a grunt, Yuan Jia aimed a powerful punch directly at Lu Chen's throat.
Lu Chen performed a backflip, swinging his arms to unleash the Ape Demon Arm, instantly extending his arms to knee length as he struck out with iron fists.
In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in combat, both employing Fist Technique—dominant and fierce, incredibly aggressive.
Jabs, strikes, slams, kicks, jumps, sweeps—various brutal attacks poured out like rain.
Yuan Jia launched a punch, and immediately True Qi surged forth. Lu Chen raised both fists to block it fiercely. Yuan Jia calmly retracted his punch and attacked from another direction with astonishing speed. Lu Chen missed the attack and quickly rolled on the ground to evade.
Lu Chen sprang up from the ground, leaping high into the air. Yuan Jia's arms trembled as he pursued Lu Chen with an almost imperceptible speed, nearly knocking Lu Chen down from above.
"Whale Split Fist."
Almost immediately after their encounter, Lu Chen recognized that the technique used by Yuan Jia was the Whale Split Fist from the Five Element Sect Qi Gong Pavilion.
The previous move he executed was called "Whale Swimming Across the Seas."
The term "Whale Swimming Across the Seas" describes a giant whale in the ocean, moving swiftly and effortlessly through the water, making it hard to imagine its speed.
However, the Fist Technique unleashed by Yuan Jia did not carry that meaning.
"Whale Swimming Across the Seas" was merely a description of the Fist Technique, which was swift, fierce, and brutal, much like a giant whale in the sea.
"Zizizizi"
Yuan Jia's Flesh bounced as his fists and legs struck out rapidly and fiercely, resembling a mighty warrior with unwavering fighting spirit. Each punch delivered had a lingering force behind it, as if it were endless.
This move was called "Long Whale Water Absorption," one of the signature techniques of the Whale Split Fist. The power of this Fist Technique would resemble a whale taking in water, opening its mouth wide to gulp in a large amount before shooting it out in an endless stream.
"Bang bang, bang bang."
Yuan Jia kicked fiercely with both legs, each kick possessing immense power capable of shattering water tanks and slicing through the air directly toward Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen was in a rather passive state. Aside from barely fending off one or two punches, he could only dodge, and before he knew it, he had retreated to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.
Suddenly, Yuan Jia's Flesh trembled, creating a shockwave. The Flesh seemed to be empowered by divine energy, its power instantly increasing tenfold. With a wild swing of his arms, he landed a punch directly on Lu Chen's chest.
"Step, step, step." Lu Chen staggered back three steps, and the Flesh sent him crashing out of the Martial Arts Arena.
Yuan Jia's attacks were too fierce, both fast and ruthless, making it difficult for Lu Chen to defend himself. Even if Lu Chen managed to hit Yuan Jia a couple of times, it had no effect at all since Yuan Jia possessed the Divine Power Body, which was impervious to blades and bullets.
As Lu Chen was forced to the outskirts of the Martial Arts Arena, the loyal followers of Yuan Jia cheered loudly, shouting encouragement for him.
In contrast, on Lu Chen's side, only Princess Zhulan and Kong Hao were present. Upon witnessing such a scene, they immediately looked dejected, their faces showing signs of sorrow.
"Lu Chen, you can’t hold on any longer, can you? My Divine Power Body is utterly unbreakable; your defeat is inevitable," Yuan Jia laughed heartily at Lu Chen's disheveled appearance.
