Punching Shen Xuan! New Rules!

Among the onlookers.

A cultivator with a black mole watched as the youthful Shen He protected Lu Yun.

They were even more indignant.

"That damn pretty boy, all he can do is rely on women?"

Lu Yun frowned.

If you remain timid today, you'll likely earn a reputation for being "easy to bully" when you reach the Immortal Hall.

Moreover, the annulment of the engagement, and the ten days he spent with the Shen family, had already left him with a pent-up anger.

The onlookers' curious glances and sarcastic jeers—

He glanced around, and finally his gaze landed on Shen Xuan's face.

He calmly replied, "We can fight."

"But whoever loses has to pay ten spirit stones."

"Do you dare?" Lu Yun took a step forward, his tone becoming more forceful.

Shen Xuan had just broken through to the third level of Qi Refining in the last ten days.

They definitely didn't learn the Shen family's battle tactics.

Lu Yun was confident, as he had broken through the barrier with over three hundred strands of true energy, and his physical body had also been tempered by the illusory flames.

When two players of the same level clash, who are we afraid of?

"Ten it is."

Shen Xuan didn't think he would lose and readily agreed, "What's there to be afraid of!"

The two stopped.

Each person made hand seals, preparing to summon the five elements' spells to clash.

After trying for a long time, only a tiny spark of inspiration came out, making one question the meaning of life.

"True qi and magical spells are prohibited inside the Dharma Boat."

A lazy voice came from the second floor, "You guys fight it out."

People upstairs were also watching the spectacle.

Shen Xuan was very fast.

He took a peculiar step, gathered all his physical strength, and punched Lu Yun in the chest.

Lu Yun didn't have time to dodge, so he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"boom--"

Shen Xuan felt as if he had landed on a huge rock.

A sharp pain shot through his palm, and he stumbled back three steps.

Looking down, I saw that my fingers were red and swollen.

"this one?"

Lu Yun remained motionless, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

He hasn't mastered the body-refining technique yet.

Could it be that when the "Thousand Threads of Illusory Flame Illuminating Elixir Method" is activated, the illusory flame illuminates and tempers the meridians and flesh of the whole body?

In addition, more than 300 streams of true qi nourish the body.

Unbeknownst to him, his physical strength had far surpassed that of others of the same level.

Shen Xuan asked in disbelief, "You...you've practiced body tempering?"

Lu Yun thought for a moment and replied seriously, "It's probably because I've been eating too much spirit rice pills and monster meat lately."

Shen Xuan: "..."

The people around looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Xuan was dressed in a Dharma robe and had a storage bag hanging from his waist, clearly indicating that he was a member of a prominent family.

Lu Yun was dressed as a rogue cultivator, yet his strength was actually greater than his?

Many nuns don't care about these things.

Lu Yunsheng was handsome and aloof, while Shen Xuan's face was full of fat.

"good!"

Cheers erupted.

The others were also delighted to see that the one in the ceremonial robes was no match for the one in the brocade robes.

They all cheered.

Lu Yun stopped being polite, feinted with his left hand, twisted his waist with his right fist, and punched Shen Xuan in the face.

One punch shattered his confident spirit.

After three punches and a kick, Shen Xuan was pinned to the ground and rubbed against the ground.

In a daze, Shen Xuan seemed to have returned to his childhood.

That afternoon when he led a group to bully Lu Yun, and Shen Yi beat him to a pulp.

His face was pressed against the deck, unable to move.

Faced with such a humiliating scene, plus a high-stakes bet of ten spirit stones.

Shen Xuan cleverly closed his eyes and stretched out his legs.

Just pretend to be dizzy.

"..."

Lu Yun was amused.

He punched Shen Xuan twice more, but the guy didn't utter a sound.

"You're really something!"

He simply took action and stripped Shen Xuan of his robes.

"Everyone saw it, he lost."

Lu Yun stood up, looked around, and said calmly, "This robe is fine as payment, right?"

The low-grade magic robe that Shen Xuan was wearing was probably worth fifteen spirit stones.

It's a pity the magic boat didn't work; otherwise, Lu Yun's victory wouldn't have been so easy.

Reselling ten spirit stones secondhand is no problem.

"No problem! No problem!"

"This is what you deserve, brother."

Those watching the spectacle around had no say in the matter and readily agreed.

"Or you could take his storage bag too."

"We'll be your witnesses!"

Some girls were attracted by Lu Yun's cold face and agile skills, and shouted especially loudly.

It's obvious who is righteous.

Lu Yun nodded, picked up his robes, and walked back to his original spot.

The crowd then dispersed.

Another young man from the Shen family reluctantly stepped forward and dragged Shen Xuan aside.

The deck fell silent again.

Shen He leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Yun, you didn't hit hard enough just now."

.......

The Dharma boat has three levels; the moon shines as he sits alone in quiet contemplation.

His divine thoughts, like water, flowed over a small town below.

Several prospective disciples were embracing their parents, bidding them a reluctant farewell.

Yingyue didn't rush to lower the beam of light. Looking at the warm scene, longing welled up in her eyes.

She stared for a while before withdrawing her divine sense.

Maneuver the magic boat to the left by one inch, precisely positioning the beam of light in the center of the road.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She took out a treasure box from the deepest part of her storage ring and held it in her arms.

Master cultivates the path of forgetting emotions.

They believe that lust is an obstacle to the path of enlightenment.

From a young age, we nurtured her towards a state of purity, detachment, and spiritual clarity.

In fact, she was not completely asexual.

I envy my junior sister who has a family the most.

Her only family fantasy comes from the secret box left by her father.

The treasure box contains ingenious techniques and can only be opened using specific methods.

If started incorrectly, it will self-destruct.

This is a keepsake left by my parents.

She tried the secret method once every ten days.

I've tried for over ten years, but I still haven't been able to open it.

Today, as usual, she channeled her spiritual energy, tapping her fingertips lightly a few times.

clack.

The treasure box has been opened.

"Huh!"

Yingyue's pupils dilated as she looked down.

Inside was a letter and a red jade marriage certificate.

She read the letter first, then picked up the marriage certificate.

My grandfather once made a marriage agreement with a close friend surnamed Lu, who was the only son in his family for thirty-four generations.

If descendants hold the marriage certificate, they will feel a connection and become in-laws.

"I have a family member I've never met?" Yingyue pressed the marriage certificate to her chest.

Suddenly, the marriage certificate became hot, and she looked up abruptly.

The descendants of the Lu family are on this Dharma boat!

"Could this be the fate my junior sister spoke of?"

She put away the treasure box.

Divine thoughts, like threads, landed on the deck of the Dharma boat.

His brow furrowed slightly as he scanned the irregular crowd.

With patience, and following the clues from the red jade marriage certificate, they quickly found the descendants of the Lu family.

She first looked at the face shape; it was extremely symmetrical, and the eyes were not uneven.

The hair ornament is a little crooked.

She looked pleased and nodded in satisfaction.

They began to observe secretly.

Master said: What they cultivate is the path of forgetting emotions. How can one forget emotions if one has no emotions?

Having a pure and desireless mind, and a clear and tranquil mind, are both advantages and disadvantages.

A romantic relationship needs to be nurtured.

If we find this person, we can not only cultivate ourselves, but also fulfill the entrustment of our ancestors.

......

After a while.

Ye Xiu walked out of the central hall.

"Shen Xuan said he had a headache and came out first, what happened?"

He was extremely surprised to see Shen Xuan sleeping on the ground not far away.

"He's really having a headache now."

The Ye family disciple gloated and recounted what had just happened.

Ye Xiu was speechless.

Open the folding fan and gather the people of Zixin City together.

He lowered his voice: "Guess what the five major families inside were discussing just now?"

"What are you discussing? Why are you out here too?" Shen He asked curiously.

"Although I am a direct descendant of the family, my talent is average, and I am not the heir."

Ye Xiu shook his head. "They look down on me, and I'm too lazy to put on a show for them."

Lu Yun knew something about the Ye family.

He has a cousin who works at the Immortal Hall and will become the clan leader upon returning home. He himself is rather lazy.

"The five great families have established new rules this year."

Ye Xiu said, "It involves the allocation of halls after joining the Immortal Hall."

"Let us, the younger members of our small families, know in advance after we pass the test, and then we'll be assigned to different positions."

"Don't crowd together to fight for resources; distribute them evenly among the various branches."

Lu Yun frowned: "Do they really have that much power?"

He hasn't entered the celestial hall yet.

Even after entering the Immortal Hall, there is still an assessment.

Did those people inside the hall skip so many steps and directly assign branches?

"They don't have that right."

Ye Xiu pointed upwards: "But some people have it, it's a decision made by those above."

They are not the Foundation Establishment ancestors of various families, so this trivial matter is not worth disturbing them.

They are the backbone of all families in the Immortal Academy.

Lu Yun's heart sank again after hearing this.

I never had much hope for a solidified class system.

It's just solidified to this extent.

From top to bottom, the five Foundation Establishment families have the final say in the Immortal Academy and Immortal Hall.

I really didn't expect that.

"Has the assessment method changed?" Lu Yun asked.

"Don't worry about that."

Ye Xiu smiled, "The assessment method is still to refine spiritual materials."

"The Immortal Dao Sect has requirements for the Immortal Academy, so they dare not go too far."

"That's alright."

Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief; at least someone could keep them in check.

He glanced at the third floor out of the corner of his eye.

He thought to himself: Could that Master Yingyue also be associated with the five great families?
