Chapter 44: group matches

In the dense crowd, twenty people suddenly walked out to the steward.
"The second group, come here!"
"The third group, come here!"
"..."
There are a total of 340 teams, and each team has a supervisor in charge. And Guan Shi's own cultivation is at least in the middle or late stage of marrow washing, and most of them are in their 40s or 50s.
"Group 122, come here!"
After a cup of tea, he finally arrived at the 122nd group where Lu Chen was.
Lu Chen also stepped out.
"Qiuye is in charge!" Lu Chen arched his hand to Lu Qiuye, who was in charge of his team, and stood aside.
"Damn it, why should I be with Lu Chen?"
"Luck is too bad, there is no chance of winning against Lu Chen."
Seeing Lu Chen in his group, several of the Lu family children who were already standing next to Lu Qiuye frowned, changed their minds helplessly, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
Lu Chen defeated Lu Yan during the family coming-of-age ceremony. In the Treasure Pavilion not long ago, Wang Xiaotian, the son of the head of the Wang family, was defeated. Almost everyone in the Lu family here has heard of this incident. Of course they understood that Lu Chen was powerful.
Faced with Lu Chen, where is there any hope of victory?
But fortunately, there are three people in each group who can advance, even if Lu Chen occupies one place, there are still two places.
The other nineteen people can also compete for these two places.
"Come with me!" Lu Qiuye said lightly when the twenty group members had gathered.
Lu Chen and others followed him to a fighting platform.
At this moment, there are already many groups, and the battle has begun.
The Lu Family's martial arts field is very huge, and there are hundreds of fighting martial arts platforms on it.
Three hundred and forty groups can compete at the same time.
"Lu Chen, go to Douwutai!" After standing still in front of Douwutai, Lu Qiuye turned around and said to Lu Chen.
"Okay!" Lu Chen didn't hesitate, and quickly stepped onto the fighting platform.
In this group, Lu Chen is the strongest, so he is the first to fight.
"Land Rover, you go to the fighting platform and fight against Lu Chen." Lu Qiuye said to the chubby Land Rover again.
Land Rover's face suddenly paled.
Although the members of this group are very clear about the rules of the battle, they know that they will definitely have a battle with Lu Chen. Land Rover also knows this. However, when he was really on the court, he still couldn't help being a little flustered.
However, the manager has already said it, and it's not good not to play.
Lu Hu looked at the other people around him, and suddenly said, "Everyone, I'll go up first! By the way, you don't need to pity me, anyway, you, like me, will fight against Brother Lu Chen."
With that said, Land Rover dragged his chubby body onto the fighting platform.
Lu Rover, a warrior in the mid-tempering realm, is seventeen years old this year, one year older than Lu Chen.
Hearing what he said, everyone else glanced at him with wide-eyed eyes.
"Brother Lu Chen, you have to be merciful, don't hurt me, I still want to enter the knockout round." Lu Hu said with a bitter expression to Lu Chen.
The rewards of the group stage are of course incomparable with the knockout stage.
Those who can enter the knockout rounds are considered elites.
With 6,800 members, only a little more than 1,000 have entered the knockout stage through the group stage. Only one of nearly seven people can enter the knockout round.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Lu Chen smiled.
For cultivators in the mid-tempering realm, Lu Chen is certainly sure to defeat the opponent without hurting the opponent.
"However, you should just admit defeat." Lu Chen turned.
If the opponent directly admits defeat, then Lu Chen can save some internal strength. Although defeating a cultivator in the middle stage of the body tempering realm would not consume much internal strength, it is of course the best not to make a move.
The use of martial arts requires internal energy.
In this group match, there is not only one martial arts fight, but everybody has 19 martial arts fights.
"Brother Lu Chen, this is my first martial arts fight in this family competition. It would be unlucky if I give up without taking any action!" Land Rover squeezed a helpless smile on his face.
What he meant was that he actually wanted to admit defeat, but surrendering in this way might affect his next match.
"Huh!"
At this moment, Land Rover suddenly moved. When he launched the attack, his voice did not fall completely.
A moment ago, he called the elder Lu Chen and his brother Lu Chen cordially, but after this moment, he directly urged his internal force to make a move.
This chubby guy was very scheming. First he showed his weakness to Lu Chen, intending to paralyze Lu Chen, and then suddenly attacked.
"Hey!" The weapon used by Land Rover was a blue long axe, of no grade. However, the axe blade is very sharp, and under the perfusion of internal force, it also makes a whistling and piercing sound.
"Hehe..." Lu Chen smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Land Rover thought that his movements were very fast, and he did it without warning. If he faced a cultivator in the middle stage of body tempering, he would really be successful. However, what he faced was Lu Chen.
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 internal force moved slightly, and a sword light flashed out.
Jian Guang condensed lightly in the space, shaking the surrounding air slightly.
Jian Ying swiftly rushed towards the Land Rover who came up.
The long axe violently handed over and collided with the sword shadow in the air.
"Hey!" The two clashed, and a muffled sound followed.
The light around that is slightly distorted.
"Ah!" Land Rover only felt a terrifying force from the long axe in his hand to his body.
This power is definitely not something he can resist. He feels that the opposite is like a heavy mountain, so that he can't see the hope of defense.
Before he had time to turn more thoughts, his body flew out uncontrollably. The terrible power rolled him like a fallen leaf.
"Would you like... so fast!" Land 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 gave up directly and was too unwilling. Therefore, 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 method is useless.
"puff!"
Land Rover's chubby body flew in the air for a while, hitting the ground heavily, belly facing down, and the long axe in his hand, touching the hard ground, suddenly a series of sparks jumped out.
"The first game, Lu Chen wins!" Lu Qiuye quickly announced the end of the match.
At this time, Land Rover stood up and patted the dust on his body.
"Thank you, Lu Chen!" Lu Hu bowed to thank Lu Chen on the opposite side.
Although he seemed to be knocked out and his posture was very inelegant, he was actually not injured. Land Rover is not stupid. Of course he understands that this is Lu Chen's mercy. If Lu Chen didn't deliberately control his internal power, he wouldn't be killed easily even in this family comparison, but he would be injured, and absolutely no one would be able to gossip.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded at Land Rover.
"Lu Chen, do you want to continue the battle? Or take a break?" Lu Qiuye asked at this time.
If Lu Chen wants to rest, she will arrange for the other two to fight martial arts. If Lu Chen wants to continue to fight, then she will arrange a person to fight against Lu Chen on the fighting platform.
"Go on!" Lu Chen said slightly indifferently.
"Good!" Lu Qiuye said.
"Lu Xiaoming, go to the fighting platform." Lu Qiuye said to a Lu family kid next to him.
Lu Xiaoming boarded the martial arts stage with a sad face.
"Brother Lu Chen, I surrender!" Lu Xiaoming voluntarily surrendered.
His strength is only in the late stage of bone refining, where is there any chance?
Rather than making a shot and being knocked out directly by Lu Chen, he might as well admit defeat. Besides, even if Brother Lu Chen couldn't put down his heavy hand, it hurt to fall to the ground.
"The second game, Lu Chen wins!"
"The third game, Lu Chen wins!"
In this group, most of them are cultivators in the Bone Refining Realm. 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 just a short time, there have been ten matches.
Ten consecutive victories.
"Lu Hongfang, you go to Fighting Wutai to fight against Lu Chen!" Lu Qiuyue said to a female cultivator again.
"Yes!" Lu Hongfang responded sharply and jumped up to the fighting platform, standing opposite Lu Chen.
Lu Hongfang is a practitioner in the late stage of body tempering.
In the group that Lu Chen is in, apart from Lu Chen, Lu Hongfang is considered one of the highest realm cultivators. Like her, they are in the late stage of body tempering, and there are only two people.
In other words, in this group, after Lu Chen occupied one promotion place, the remaining two places should be produced among the three cultivators of the late body tempering realm.
Of course, there will be accidents. The cultivators in the late body tempering realm are generally much better than those in the mid body tempering realm. But there are always exceptions. In the family comparison of the Lu Family, there are also many examples of defeating practitioners in the late body tempering realm with the middle tempering realm.
The battle between two cultivators, martial arts and weapons is also part of the overall strength.
"Lu Chen, I know that you are very strong, and even Wang Xiaotian is not your opponent." After Lu Hongfang got to the Fighting Platform, he glanced at Lu Chen and said with a serious face.
"Huh!" Lu Chen nodded, "Then you give up!"
A girl who was knocked out and threw a dog to eat was also a bit indecent, so Lu Chen hoped that the other party would directly admit defeat.
"Hmph, I won't admit defeat. In my Lu Hongfang's dictionary, I haven't confessed to these two words. Lu Chen, if you want to drive me out of the fighting platform, you have to defeat me! Defeat me upright!" Lu Hongfang snorted, arrogantly like a little hen guarding her cub, with high morale.
"I am Lu Hongfang, although I was born in a small town, I am no better than the Lu family who was born in the Lu Family Courtyard of Qingfeng City. However, I also have my pride."
"Over the years, I have been working hard to cultivate, I just want to catch up, and even surpass you people in the superior Lu Family Courtyard!"
"..."
Lu Hongfang, paragraph after paragraph, endless.
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 many towns in the Qingfeng City area. A long time ago, some of the Lu family’s children were sent to those towns to manage the Lu family’s property. Therefore, it is inevitable that some Lu family children were born in these towns and gradually formed a small family.
Lu Hongfang is obviously such an identity.
Compared with the children of the Lu Family Courtyard in Qingfeng City, the Lu family in those small towns have fewer training resources.
These people pay more attention to the triennial family of the Lu family, because this opportunity is their hope of turning over.
