Chapter 16 Jin'er, You Didn't Lose Unjustly
Lu Jin reacted extremely quickly.
He stomped his left foot hard on the ground, and the true qi of the reverse three layers exploded from the Yongquan acupoint, lifting his body upwards and narrowly escaping from the first circle of the earthen stone pillar.
The pillar of earth and stone swept past his feet, and the rubble it kicked up hit his calves with a series of muffled thuds.
But before he could catch his breath, Zhuge Yan's hand seals had already changed.
Before the yellow light in the Kun position dissipated, the Zhen position lit up immediately afterward.
The East belongs to the element of wood, its color is green, and the character Zhen (震) represents brilliance!
A white arc of electricity shot out from the pillar of light at the vibration point, as thin as a chopstick, but so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to see it.
The electric arc did not strike Lu Jin directly, but instead struck a fist-sized piece of gravel that the earthen cart had whipped up.
The rubble was struck by the electric arc and instantly shattered into dozens of smaller fragments, carrying residual electric light, which sprayed towards Lu Jin in mid-air like a shotgun.
Lu Jin swung his fists repeatedly, using the force of his punches to deflect the oncoming rain of pebbles.
But each piece of gravel was coated with a faint arc of electricity, which caused a tingling sensation when it touched the surface of the fist.
His body paused in mid-air for a moment.
In that instant, Zhuge Yan's Eight Gates Manipulation technique had silently arrived behind Lu Jin.
A black hole quietly appeared in the direction of the Death Gate, silently drifting towards Lu Jin without attacking, simply landing behind him.
Before Lu Jin's feet even touched the ground, she felt a bone-chilling coldness creeping up from behind.
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong's admiration for Zhuge Yan was no longer concealed.
An eleven-year-old boy can use four kinds of magic freely to this extent!
Lu Jin gritted his teeth, feeling the chill on his back.
His intuition told him that if things continued like this, he might be defeated the moment he landed.
But he didn't panic.
The true qi of the Reverse Life Triple Realm surged within his body, and white mist simultaneously erupted from his shoulders, elbows, and knees, thicker and faster than before.
Just as he was about to land, he stepped onto Zhuge Yan's earthen cart, and using the reaction force, he pounced straight at Zhuge Yan like a tiger that had broken free of its chains.
It's not footwork, it's not stance, it's just pure impact.
He brought his right fist to his waist, and the white mist on his fist condensed into a visible vortex, pressing all his true energy into this fist.
Zhuge Yan's right hand seals dispersed.
He took a deep breath, and the true qi in his dantian surged to his limbs at an unprecedented speed.
Then he made a hand seal with one hand, palm down, fingers slightly bent into claws, and all the true qi condensed in front of his palm into a brand new form—the White Tiger.
"The power of the Eight Gods - White Tiger!"
Yagami's Power White Tiger can use sharp energy to enhance the user's speed, strength, and fighting spirit.
Roar!
A faint, ethereal tiger's roar echoed throughout the main hall of the Wuhou Sect.
Zhuge Yan's right fist flashed with a dazzling white light, and then, without dodging or avoiding, he directly swung his fist to meet Lu Jin head-on!
boom!
A muffled thud was heard, and the next second, to everyone's astonishment, Lu Jin, who had activated the third level of Reverse Life, actually took three steps back!
With each step on the blue bricks, the bricks seemed to sink a little deeper.
His right arm was trembling violently from his fist to his shoulder. The force of the white tiger's counterattack traveled up his meridians, causing a burning pain.
He glanced down at his right hand; a small, half-inch-long gash had appeared at the base of his thumb due to the recoil, and beads of blood were dripping down his index finger.
Lu Jin stood there, her chest heaving violently, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.
He had considered the possibility of losing the match, since it was his first time fighting a warlock and he had absolutely no experience in dealing with warlocks.
But he never expected that Zhuge Yan, as a sorcerer, would defeat him head-on not by magic, but by pure power!
In an instant, a sense of frustration arose.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, I have learned a great deal about the Wuhou School's Qimen Dunjia."
Zhuge Yan put away the Qimen formation under his feet, shook his slightly numb arms, and then also clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Jin.
"The Three Ones Sect's reverse rebirth is truly worthy of its reputation."
Brother Lu, today was merely a friendly exchange between peers. I only managed to defeat you by a small margin, taking advantage of your unfamiliarity with Qimen Dunjia.
If the fight continues, the outcome is still uncertain.
After hearing these words, Lu Jin felt a little better.
Yes, the Triple Rebirth brought me not only the power of dragons and tigers in every move, but also a recovery ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Even if it's just the first level of the beginner's skill, ordinary minor injuries won't have any impact on him at all.
But Zhuge Yan was different; compared to himself, he had a much lower margin for error.
If I use a strategy of trading blows for blows and fight him to the death, the situation will definitely be reversed immediately!
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Jin's lips.
"Senior Brother Zhuge is too modest."
Seeing this, Zuo Ruotong behind her couldn't help but shake her head.
You silly boy, they were just saying a few polite words, and you actually took it seriously?
Indeed, in ordinary sparring, if one stops at the point of no return, it may not be possible to bring out the full potential of the Triple Rebirth.
But how do you know that Zhuge Yan used his full strength just now?
It should be understood that no matter how strong Zhuge Yan's physique was, the reputation of the Marquis Wu's school was ultimately inherited from Zhuge Wu's art of Qimen Dunjia!
With extraordinary talent and a maturity far beyond his years, the Zhuge family has produced a prodigy!
Zuo Ruotong put down the teacup, the porcelain bottom landing on the sandalwood with a very soft tapping sound.
He stared at the bleeding gash on Lu Jin's fist for a moment, then turned to Zhuge Duan.
"This disciple of your sect has not only mastered all the spells of the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God, but also can switch between the four realms without any stagnation."
Zuo Ruotong's voice contained no polite praise, only a calm statement.
Then he turned to Lu Jin and said his second sentence, his tone no different from before, neither cold nor warm, just stating a fact.
"Jin'er, you didn't lose unjustly."
Lu Jin looked down at his fist, then looked up at Zhuge Yan standing in the middle of the arena, grinned, and said nothing.
Whether he truly accepts it or not, only he himself knows.
Zuo Ruotong glanced at Lu Jin. Of course, he knew that his proud and arrogant disciple was not truly convinced.
The reason he didn't stop Lu Jin from challenging Zhuge Yan was that he wanted Lu Jin to learn from his defeat the truth that there are always people better than you and there is always something beyond your understanding.
This is why he brought Lu Jin along on this trip.
But now it seems that ordinary setbacks are probably not enough to truly "wake him up".
What his foolish disciple needed was a complete and utter defeat, one that would even make him question the meaning of life!
Sigh, I just wonder if there are any people in this world his age who can truly wake this silly boy up...
