Chapter 396: Wang Cheng, the Next Battle!
“Wang Hongyu’s attack just now was so powerful that even I wouldn’t be able to withstand it. How did it not cause any damage to Lu Peng?”
“That’s right! In my opinion, that Hualin Sect member must have cheated!”
“Cheated? Aren’t you looking down on our Hualin Sect too much? Accusing others of cheating when you can’t win. That’s simply ridiculous!”
The fight on the stage was heated, while the disciples below the stage were not willing to lag behind. On the stands, all the Fire Sect disciples were very surprised and were having a heated discussion about whether Lu Peng had cheated.
Seeing this scene, Victor only wanted to say that this group of people were ignorant.
Body cultivation was not magical to begin with. It relied on explosive power and strong vitality. Once they met formation masters, Dao Sect disciples, and Buddhist disciples, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage.
Formation masters were the rarest cultivators in the five plains. Their strength was extremely priceless. Once they were given enough time, they were comparable to an army!
More than 70 years ago, there was a formation master in the Northern Plains. When the sect was in a difficult situation, he single-handedly fought against three first-rate sects. Although he eventually died from exhaustion, he still managed to cripple the three first-rate sects!
As for the Dao Sect and disciples of the Buddhist Sect. Those were simply suppressors of body cultivators.
Although body cultivators had unparalleled combat strength, the Dao Sect that specialized in soul techniques did not care how much strength one had. Once your soul was destroyed, you would just be a walking corpse.
As for the Buddhist Sect disciple, unfortunately, if body cultivators had tenacious vitality, then the Buddhist Sect’s defense would be unparalleled.
One of the Buddhist Sect’s ultimate skills, the Acalanatha and the Golden Body Incantation worked together. Among all five plains, there were very few people who could break it!
Throughout history, only the sword immortal Li Chenggan and the Dao Leader had managed to break the Buddhist Sect’s unbreakable golden body!
Therefore, with Wang Hongyu’s strength, harming Lu Peng was already a difficult task. Yet, he still wanted to kill him?
This was simply a dream!
However, looking at the puzzled Nalan Lengling and Lian Hua, Victor could only patiently explain.
“Here’s the thing, you should understand that Lu Peng’s vitality is very tough. The power of his qi and blood constantly repairs his body. In other words, unless you can kill him in one strike and destroy his brain and heart, all attacks will be futile. As long as he has sufficient time, it is not impossible for him to regrow his severed limbs. Of course, this means that body cultivators are invincible. Before one fully grows, body cultivators are not a match for any cultivators.
“This is also the reason why truly powerful body cultivators aren’t afraid of any other cultivators.”
This was also the most shameless aspect of body cultivators. If you hit a body cultivator, it would not hurt at all. If they hit you back, they would smash your brains out. For Victor, who inherited the ancient path of strength cultivation, his vitality would be even more shocking.
For instance, with Wang Hongyu’s sword edict, after it ended, one could still clearly see the remaining wounds on Lu Peng’s body.
However, if it was Victor, you would not even be able to see the scars. This was all thanks to the true phoenix blood essence in Victor’s body. This was also why true strength cultivators never needed any weapons because they were the strongest weapons!
“So that’s how it is…”
Nalan Lengling nodded. She looked fearfully at Lu Peng on the field and voiced the doubts in her heart.
“Let’s not talk about anything else. In terms of qi and blood power, who is better? You or Lu Peng?”
“After all, I haven’t received any systematic training. Moreover, Lu Peng is a core formation realm cultivator. Qi and cultivation can nourish qi and blood. I’m not as good as him.”
Even though that was the case, there was still a certain gap between Lu Peng and Victor in terms of true strength.
After all, Victor used a purer form of strength cultivation and had tempered his body with extreme yang and extreme yin. Now that he was refining the power of the mountain, Lu Peng was naturally no match for him.
Back on the stage, seeing that his trump card did not even harm Lu Peng, a hint of fear flashed across Wang Hongyu’s eyes.
As the number one inner disciple of the Fire Sect, Wang Hongyu naturally had his own pride. However, now, this pride had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Wang Hongyu looked at Lu Peng’s figure and his body could not help but tremble!
“Tsk tsk tsk… This is the strength of your Fire Sect? This is too embarrassing. If you ask me, as the number one inner disciple, it’s better for you to give up your position as soon as possible. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
As Lu Peng spoke, he kept getting closer to Wang Hongyu while the latter stood rooted to the ground, unable to move!
The feeling was like being stared at by a hungry tiger. The immense pressure made Wang Hongyu almost unable to breathe!
Wang Hongyu’s eyes and face were flushed red. He gritted his teeth and finally could not resist the immense pressure and chose to surrender.
“I… lost…”
Even though Wang Hongyu would inevitably lose face and his prestige in the sect would also be affected, it was still better than losing his life!
It was truly stupid to fight head-on with a guy like Lu Peng!
“Can’t you just admit defeat earlier?”
Lu Peng was not as wicked as Han Feng. When he saw Wang Hongyu admit defeat, he stopped as well. He grabbed Wang Hongyu and threw him down like a little chick. Then, he faced the grandstand and shouted, “It’s no fun to fight with Wang Hongyu. Wang Cheng, next fight!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gaze was on Victor. Even he was a little surprised. Why was he suddenly involved?
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested. You’re a core formation cultivator, and I’m a foundation establishment cultivator. It wouldn’t be honorable for you to win.”
“Cut the crap. I’ll only use 70% of my strength. If you’re a man, then fight me!”
Lu Peng’s eyes were filled with the desire to fight. He kept provoking Victor in order to force him to fight.
However, how could Victor fall for such a low-level trick?
It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, wouldn’t he damage his reputation?
“Coward, don’t tell me none of the Fire Sect disciples can fight me?”
Lu Peng sneered and slowly walked down the stage.
“Wang Cheng! This person is so arrogant and is insulting the sect, and you don’t even dare to accept the challenge?”
Wang Hongyu looked at Wang Cheng with disdain.
“Yo, isn’t this the number one person in the inner sect? With your ability, why did you admit defeat?”
“I… I was preserving my strength!”
Wang Hongyu’s face turned red as he explained.
“Saving your strength? Tsk tsk tsk, your skin is really thick. How can you say such words? Wang Hongyu, I can tell you that if I were to draw lots and fight Lu Peng, I will naturally do my best not to embarrass the sect. Even if I lose, I will lose with dignity!
“But what about you? You didn’t even dare to move in front of him. Now you actually have the audacity to talk about me. Your skin is so thick, you should’ve been a body cultivator.”
