. Although Lu Ziyu's face remained calm, it was all an act. Long Chen could feel the tension in her heart.
In contrast, Lu Chengfeng and the others didn't care at all. One disciple said to Lu Ziyu, "Seventh Sister, don't worry. That Hu Yifei is definitely no match for Big Sister." "
Exactly, we've seen Hu Yifei's match. His strength is clearly inferior to Big Sister's, but Big Sister is sure to win this match." Lu Chengfeng chimed in.
Long Chen and Mo Nian looked at Lu Ziqiong and Hu Yifei on the field. At this moment, their blood energy was slowly rising, their power gathering and entering a state of combat readiness.
They had no choice but to enter a state of combat readiness, because the arena had already begun. The blue bricks refined from Heavenly Saint-level demonic bones on the stage were already emitting demonic might. To resist the demonic force, they had to use their aura to resist.
Although there was a barrier on the arena, the demonic might still broke through its barrier and spread out into the spectator stands. Long Chen and Mo Nian didn't mind, but Yu Fei, standing next to Yutong, had a pale face and looked somewhat uncomfortable.
"Yufei, what's wrong?" Long Chen asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Brother Long Chen, don't worry!" Although Yufei signaled that it was okay, everyone could see she was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing Yufei's expression, the Lu family disciples clearly showed a trace of contempt in their eyes. But after their previous experience, they finally controlled their mouths and refrained from mocking them.
"Yufei is coming to Demon-Subduing City for the first time and is especially sensitive to demonic might..." Yutong hurriedly explained, "
Of course, it's also related to her own strength." A disciple of the Lu family said calmly.
"Shut up," Lu Ziyu shouted.
The Lu family disciple curled his lips and turned his head away, clearly still somewhat unconvinced.
Yufei was instantly filled with shame. Just as she was about to speak, Long Chen handed her a pill. As soon as the pill appeared, its fragrance filled the air, instantly invigorating everyone around.
"Take this pill, and everything will be fine." Long Chen handed the pill to Yufei.
"Brother Long Chen, no need, I can endure it. This pill must be very precious. Don't waste it on me..." Yufei hurriedly declined.
Although she didn't know much about pills, judging from the aroma and fluctuations, this was definitely an extremely precious pill.
"Since you call me brother, don't be so polite. Be good. Otherwise, when the battle starts, the demonic energy will fill the sky, and you won't be able to handle it." Long Chen said.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Yufei finally blushed as she took the pill and gently brought it to her mouth. The moment she swallowed it, a golden divine radiance suddenly rose from her body, and a vast wave of energy surged upward.
"This is ... Golden Core ..." Lu Chengfeng and the others looked at Yufei in disbelief, then at Long Chen.
At first, when Long Chen took out a pill, they didn't pay much attention, especially since the pill seemed rather unremarkable.
But the moment Yufei swallowed the pill, they suddenly understood that the reason the pill was so inconspicuous was because it was wrapped in a layer of pill clothing.
Even the prodigies of the Zichen Sect mostly use elixirs of high grade, mostly top-tier.
As for pill-level pills, the Zichen Sect also distributes them monthly, but those levels are limited—usually only two or three. For someone of Lu Ziyu's level, you can only receive up to eight pills a month.
Moreover, a top-grade treasure pill can only be claimed at most, and other grades can only be below the highest grade. As for the Golden Core, Lu Ziyu can only receive one pill per year, unless there is a major breakthrough or significant contribution, when one or two more pills are added.
Long Chen casually gave Yufei a Golden Core. Although the grade was unseen, the golden divine radiance radiating from Yufei showed that the Golden Core Long Chen gave was definitely of a high grade.
At this, the Lu family disciples were all stunned. To give away such a precious Golden Core like that was simply outrageous.
Seeing the Lu family disciples widen their eyes, Yufei, though pure, was not foolish. She knew the pill Long Chen had given her was absolutely precious; otherwise, they wouldn't have shown such expressions.
"Brother Long Chen..." Yufei was so anxious her eyes turned red.
Long Chen gently stroked Yufei's head, showing a warm smile and saying, "How could calling me brother for nothing?" Don't worry, this is a gift from your brother Long Chen. Later, your brother Mo Nian will also give you a gift. Mo
Nian glared at Long Chen. This guy was really bad, dragging him down too. But Mo Nian wasn't stingy either. Besides, seeing the shocked look in the Lu family disciple's eyes, Mo Nian felt secretly pleased:
"When I get back, I'll see what suits you. After all, I can't be so stingy. A high-grade Golden Core? Heh, I'm not worth it."
"High-grade Golden Core?"
"Can't show it?"
The Lu family disciples looked at each other in shock. Lu Ziyu was shocked. Although she had suspected Long Chen had taken out a high-grade Golden Pill—after all, she had taken it—but the high-grade Golden Pill was too precious for her to be certain. But Mo Nian's words directly confirmed her suspicion.
Mo Nian's tone was somewhat exaggerated, as if deliberately showing off, but the Lu family disciples were still somewhat shocked. They had no idea who these two guys really were.
"Brother Long Chen, we don't need ...," Mo Nian said, and Yutong and Yufei immediately felt a bit restless.
Long Chen waved his hand and looked at Lu Chengfeng and the other Lu family disciples, saying, "The two of us brothers have only met Miss Lu Ziqiong once, but we are grateful she holds us in high regard. Because of this, I have to say a few words to all of you." "
What did you say?" Lu Ziyu and the others were stunned.
Long Chen said, "You are very fortunate. From birth, you were protected by a big tree that shelters you from wind and rain. So, to us, your words and actions seem unusually childish and ignorant." "
As soon as Long Chen said this, the Lu family disciples' expressions changed instantly, but Long Chen continued, "You've all survived by luck, yet you don't realize it. The only way you're stronger than us—hmm, I guess it's just your reincarnation skills." "
You..." Lu Chengfeng was furious and suddenly stood up.
Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you should sit down. With your strength, you won't last more than three moves against me."
I say this not to show off, nor to preach, but to tell you that every practitioner makes a common mistake.
Don't look down on anyone. True strength is fearless and never bullies the weak, while you are the opposite.
When the strong wield their blades, they always point at the stronger, while when the weak wield their blades, they only target the weaker. This kind of cultivation attitude determines the ceiling of your future growth. Originally
, the Lu family disciples were furious after hearing Long Chen's words, but after hearing this, they were left speechless. Lu Ziyu also looked at Long Chen in shock, because she understood the true meaning behind his words.
"Clap clap clap..." Mo Nian clapped his hands and exclaimed,
"No wonder he's the youngest dean in the history of the world's top academy. Those words are truly impressive."
"The Number One Academy Under Heaven?"
"The youngest dean ever? The
Lu family disciples stared at Long Chen in shock.
"Boom!"
At that moment, all the runes on the arena lit up, violent demonic might ignited, and a vast shockwave swept across the arena.
"Battle begins!"
At that moment, an aged voice rang out above the arena. As soon as the voice fell, the auras of Lu Ziqiong and Hu Yifei erupted like volcanoes.
