After Lu Tianlang's fist missed, he immediately turned around. However, at that moment, Su Wuchen had already swept out with a kick.
The terrifying kick, carrying the force of thousands of kilograms, slammed hard into Lu Tianlang's left waist.
Bang!
Under the impact of this powerful kick, Lu Tianlang's feet left the ground. He shot out like an arrow released from a bow, his body tumbling off the platform. After staggering and rolling several times, he managed to steady himself, but his hands and feet were injured.
The scene fell silent once more!
"Holy crap! Lu Tianlang, ranked sixth on the Outer Sect's combat strength list, actually lost!"
Everyone watching was once again filled with expressions of disbelief.
There was a rule in the Outer Sect disciple matches: once they started fighting on the platform, if one party was knocked off the platform, they lost.
"This is impossible!"
Lu Feng's expression was incredibly ugly as he witnessed the scene.
He hadn't expected his elder brother to lose to Su Wuchen!
How could this be possible?
Impossible!
Impossible…
He couldn't accept the reality, and he was about to explode with rage!
Meanwhile.
Lu Tianlang stood rooted to the spot, his face ashen.
He couldn't believe it. He'd actually lost!
How could he, a peak Mortal Martial Realm fourth layer expert, possibly lose to a brat only in the second layer of the Mortal Martial Realm?
"Impossible! I didn't lose!"
Lu Tianlang roared, and a terrifying aura exploded from his body.
Whoosh!
His form blurred.
He vanished from sight!
He charged onto the arena again.
Everyone was stunned.
"Lu Tianlang lost. What's he trying to do?"
"It's obvious. He can't accept losing, so he's gone berserk. Who knew Lu Tianlang was such a sore loser? I really overestimated him. He's so dishonorable!"
Hearing this, Lu Tianlang glared at the crowd below, shouting, "Shut up! I didn't lose! I didn't lose!"
He then angrily turned to Su Wuchen. "Kid, don't think you've won! I haven't lost!"
With that, he took out a longsword from his spatial ring and vanished again, charging fiercely at Su Wuchen.
Su Wuchen sneered. "Hmph, can't handle losing, so now you're going for the sword, huh? I'll play along!"
The instant Lu Tianlang charged in front of Su Wuchen, he gripped his longsword tightly with both hands and slashed directly at Su Wuchen's head.
This strike utilized all his strength.
He channeled his rage into a killing sword.
At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else.
Even if it meant killing someone, he only wanted to cleave Su Wuchen in two with a single strike.
Only in this way could he relieve the intense humiliation and rage in his heart!
"Brat, you're going to die!"
Lu Tianlang brought his sword down.
The image he'd conjured in his mind, of Su Wuchen being sliced in two by his sword, didn't materialize.
Because when his sword had just come down, it had passed right through "Su Wuchen."
By the time he realized what had happened…
Su Wuchen was already standing several yards behind him.
"That was a close one!"
Some people exclaimed in surprise.
Just now, they had been worried that Su Wuchen wouldn't be able to dodge that sword strike. But they hadn't expected Su Wuchen's movement technique to be so exquisite, allowing him to evade it with such ease.
"Kid, I'll make you regret dodging!"
Lu Tianlang's aura erupted once more. He stomped his foot and charged at Su Wuchen again, sword in hand.
At that moment, Su Wuchen also produced a sharp sword from his spatial ring.
As Lu Tianlang charged forward again, he saw Su Wuchen slash out with his sword!
Whoosh!
A sharp Sword Qi immediately shot forth from the blade of his sword, unerringly slicing towards Lu Tianlang who was rushing towards him.
Suddenly, Lu Tianlang was shocked!
Facing this sudden sword attack, he immediately switched from offense to defense, holding his sword horizontally in front of him, trying to block the Sword Qi.
But he still underestimated the power of the Sword Qi!
Now.
Su Wuchen was already at the second level of the Mortal Martial Realm. The power of his Sword Qi was naturally greater than before!
The Sword Qi carried a fierce and overbearing power, slashing fiercely onto Lu Tianlang's longsword.
Clang!
In an instant.
Lu Tianlang flew out along with his sword.
He was once again blasted off the stage, his body smashing hard onto the ground below.
At this moment, his longsword had been cleaved in two, and a terrifying wound appeared on his chest, bleeding profusely and shocking to behold.
This was all caused by Su Wuchen's Sword Qi just now!
This time, Lu Tianlang lay on the ground, spitting out his last mouthful of blood before he could no longer stand.
After glaring at Su Wuchen on the stage, he closed his eyes in a fit of powerless anger and passed out directly.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded!
"Did you all see that? That was actually Sword Qi! Su Wuchen… actually unleashed Sword Qi!"
"Unleashed Sword Qi! This means Su Wuchen is a Swordsman! And he's a Swordsman who has reached the Swordmaster level. No wonder his strength is so formidable! Swordsmen are invincible within the same realm!"
The scene erupted in excitement once more!
On the corridor of a nearby building.
Xiao Hong looked at the woman in white with excitement, saying, "Sister, he won! He won! I told you this newcomer wasn't simple!"
Hearing this, the woman in white didn't speak, but her gaze remained fixed on Su Wuchen.
When she came back to herself, she said to Xiao Hong with a serious expression, "Xiao Hong, find a chance to invite this person. I want to meet him alone!"
Xiao Hong was stunned, looking puzzled. "Sister, you're a top ten genius on the inner sect's combat strength list. Even if this guy is amazing, it shouldn't warrant your favor, right?"
The woman in white shook her head slightly. "Xiao Hong, your perspective shouldn't be so narrow. This person is exceptionally talented, a rare gem. Moreover, he's a Swordsman, and at such a young age, he's already reached the Swordmaster level. If he's given enough time to grow, his future is limitless."
Xiao Hong was stunned again. "Sister, I've never seen you praise a man like this. Could it be that you have a fondness for him?"
The woman in white said, "Our Zhou Clan... needs this kind of talent!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hong was enlightened, "Could it be, Sister, you want to recruit her to join the Zhou Alliance?"
"Yes."
The white-robed woman nodded slightly.
Xiao Hong was puzzled again, "But Sister, the Zhou Alliance is established within the inner sect. She isn't an inner sect disciple yet, so how can she join your Zhou Alliance?"
The white-robed woman smiled faintly, "We'll let her join after she becomes an inner sect disciple, won't we? Let's build a relationship with her for now. There's no rush!"
"Alright."
On the training ground.
"Big brother!"
Lu Feng rushed over, supporting Lu Tianlang in his arms. He then frantically shook Lu Tianlang's body, saying, "Big brother, wake up, wake up! Don't scare me... I... I'll take you back right away!"
With that, he hoisted Lu Tianlang onto his back, preparing to leave.
"Stop right there!"
A voice rang out.
Lu Feng's body trembled, startled.
At this moment, Su Wuchen walked towards the Lu brothers.
Seeing Su Wuchen approaching slowly, Lu Feng fearfully retreated a step.
He stared fixedly at Su Wuchen, grinding his teeth. "Su Wuchen, you... you've already won! What more do you want?"
"What do I want?"
Su Wuchen snorted coldly. "You two brothers come and go as you please? It's not that easy. Besides, Lu Tianlang and I have a bet. I originally wanted him to kneel before me, but he's already passed out. I'll be merciful and let him kneel another day."
He paused, then continued, "However, he's already lost this match. According to the bet, he has to hand over all the Spirit Stones on him."
Lu Feng's face was contorted with rage.
He and his brother were, after all, experts ranked in the top ten of the outer sect's combat power rankings.
Yet, Su Wuchen's cultivation was clearly lower than theirs.
But the two brothers just couldn't beat that brat!
This made him feel incredibly humiliated.
He raged, "You want my big brother's spatial ring?"
"Duh!"
Su Wuchen said, "Leave the spatial ring, and I'll let you go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rough!"
Lu Feng ground his teeth in anger.
But then, he reluctantly removed the spatial ring from Lu Tianlang's hand and threw it to Su Wuchen, saying, "Can we leave now?"
After Su Wuchen received the spatial ring, he smiled faintly and said, "Farewell!"
"Hmph!"
After Lu Feng let out a cold snort, he turned and left, carrying the defeated Lu Tianlang away from the scene.
When the crowd turned their gaze back to Su Wuchen, the admiration and worship on their faces was even more intense than before!
They knew that Su Wuchen, the Outer Sect's supernova, would have his name resound throughout the Outer Sect once more, dazzling everyone.
At this moment, many disciples present stepped forward to speak with Su Wuchen. He politely smiled and responded, but did not linger at the scene for long. Instead, he quickly turned and left the training ground.
The crowd didn't feel any resentment towards Su Wuchen's aloof demeanor; in fact, they liked and admired him even more.
Because, aloofness was the posture of the strong!
After leaving the training ground once more, Su Wuchen walked alone along a small path, which was the only way to his residence.
But at this moment, he saw a beautiful figure appear in front of him.
This was a young woman, around fifteen years old, wearing the attire of an outer sect disciple. She had fair skin and a sweet appearance.
She walked towards Su Wuchen and greeted him, "Hello!"
