Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Great Strength Vajra — Lu Yuanzheng

Shen Man tapped Ji Tingting on the head in exasperation. "I don’t want a stepmom younger than me. What? Lost interest in Tang Jun so quickly?"

Ji Tingting whined playfully, "Sister Man, can you not bring up such a buzzkill?"

All eyes were on Shen Aotian as he walked onto the main platform.

Shen Aotian only gave the various kingpins a reserved nod, but none of them dared to take offense.

Only when he reached Gu Feiyun did Shen Aotian extend a hand and say warmly, "Younger Brother Gu, what a rare sight!"

Fearless in his youth, Gu Feiyun raised his hand and briefly clasped Shen Aotian’s, saying coolly, "I’ll be a frequent guest from now on. I hope Mr. Shen will look out for me."

Shen Aotian raised an eyebrow and sat down in his seat.

Seeing this, the surrounding kingpins looked on in confusion, completely unable to understand why Shen Aotian was treating Gu Feiyun with such courtesy.

Gu Feiyun was just a second-generation disciple from the Gu Family, and not even a highly regarded one. Besides, the Gu Family had already fallen from grace!

Even at the height of the Gu Family’s power, Gu Feiyun wouldn’t have been worthy of sitting beside Shen Aotian.

As if on cue, the moment Shen Aotian sat down, Hu Yidao and Zhu Song appeared.

The crowd instinctively parted, clearing a path for Hu Yidao and Zhu Song.

"Greetings, Chairman Hu!"

"Greetings, Master Zhu the Fifth!"

Everyone greeted them with great enthusiasm.

In the eyes of most, the Hu and Zhu Families would continue to dominate Dongshan this year. This situation would only change when the two men grew old and frail.

All eyes were on Hu Yidao and Zhu Song as they ascended the main platform.

The two quickly noticed that something was off. ’Why is Gu Feiyun sitting on the main platform?’

’And in the core seating area, no less?’

’Originally, there were only three seats in the core area, but now there were four!’

However, the two didn’t make a scene. Instead, they took a long, hard look at the seemingly impassive young man standing behind Gu Feiyun.

’They couldn’t gauge the young man’s depth at all!’

’Either he wasn’t a Martial Artist, or he was absurdly powerful!’

Zhu Song plopped down in his seat, while Hu Yidao stood at the very center of the platform, surveying everyone else upon it.

"Today is Dongshan’s Martial Dao Tournament, held once every five years! It is to resolve the conflicts between the various families and to re-allocate interests and territories! You may fight yourself, or you may find a proxy to fight for you! All problems are to be solved in the arena! No one is allowed to stir up trouble after leaving the arena! Otherwise, I, Hu Yidao, will personally pay you a visit!"

After speaking, Hu Yidao authoritatively surveyed his surroundings.

The entire venue fell deathly silent, a testament to the sheer weight of Hu Yidao’s authority in Dongshan.

Hu Yidao nodded in satisfaction and leisurely took the seat of honor.

Only after Hu Yidao was settled in his seat did the kingpins let out a collective sigh of relief.

In that moment, many of the kingpins turned their gazes to Gu Feiyun.

They didn’t know by what right Gu Feiyun was seated in the core area, but they knew that if they defeated him, they could take his seat!

Gu Feiyun, however, was staring daggers at Hu Yidao. It was only because of Hu Yidao’s protection that Cheng Yuan had dared to kill Gu Chen!

The killing intent in Gu Feiyun’s eyes was completely unconcealed. For a moment, the kingpins hesitated, deciding to see what cards Gu Feiyun had to play before making a move.

And so, the kingpins shifted their focus to Gao Qingyuan, seeing him as a juicy prize.

A bald kingpin was the first to step forward.

"Gao Qingyuan, who the hell do you think you are? You dare call yourself the King of Luocheng? Today, I’m going to see what you’re made of!"

The moment the bald kingpin finished speaking, a mountain of a man stepped out from behind him!

The giant’s massive frame erupted with astonishing speed, and in a flash, he had rushed to the front of the arena!

The giant stomped his feet heavily on the bluestone floor!

CRACK! Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the bluestone floor!

Using his forward momentum and the recoil, the giant executed a flawless forward roll onto the arena!

Seeing this, the expressions of the kingpins on the main platform turned grave.

"East City Bald Chen really spared no expense! Where did he hire such a Horizontal Training expert? Gao Qingyuan is definitely going to lose now!"

"I doubt Gao Qingyuan’s man can even figure out this giant’s background."

Gao Qingyuan frowned deeply. He was filled with regret. ’I should have asked the Young Master for help. I’m afraid I’m going to lose miserably today!’

Gao Qingyuan turned to the highly-paid expert he had hired, Jiang Wannian, and asked in a low voice, "Master Jiang, are you confident?"

Jiang Wannian glanced coolly at the young man on the stage and said calmly, "President Gao, that big oaf is all for show. Unless he’s a Horizontal Training Grandmaster, he’s definitely no match for me, Jiang Wannian. I’ll be right back."

Jiang Wannian flicked his long robe, tapped his foot against the wall behind the platform, and used the momentum to launch himself into the air. Like an eagle, his figure flashed and he landed steadily on the main arena!

It had to be said, Jiang Wannian’s move was incredibly stylish, drawing a round of cheers from the crowd.

Gao Qingyuan also breathed a small sigh of relief. ’It seems Master Jiang has a great chance of winning!’

Jiang Wannian cupped his fists toward the giant. "I am Jiang Wannian of Jin Province. May I have your name?"

Lu Yuanzheng returned the gesture solemnly. "Lu Yuanzheng of the Vajra Sect, titled Great Strength Vajra. Please enlighten me."

’The Vajra Sect?’

’Great Strength Vajra?’

The faces of the kingpins grew serious.

The Vajra Sect was one of the premier Horizontal Training Sects in Dragon Country. To earn a title within the Vajra Sect, one had to be a Horizontal Training Grandmaster at the very least!

’This Lu Yuanzheng isn’t going to be easy to deal with!’

Jiang Wannian also felt the immense pressure. However, he was already in the arena; there was no backing down now!

"Then let me see the Horizontal Training of the Vajra Sect for myself! Take this!"

Jiang Wannian’s figure flashed as he charged forward, throwing a vicious punch at Lu Yuanzheng’s chest!

Lu Yuanzheng didn’t counterattack. Instead, he took a horse stance, tensed his entire body, and his muscles bulged high!

BOOM!

Jiang Wannian’s full-power punch slammed into Lu Yuanzheng’s body!

Lu Yuanzheng only swayed slightly, but Jiang Wannian was thrown back several steps by the immense recoil!

Gasps of shock erupted from the main platform.

"Jiang Wannian’s full-power strike couldn’t even break his defense? But he’s a Grandmaster Peak! This Lu Yuanzheng is too strong, isn’t he?"

Lu Yuanzheng, as if completely unaffected, let out a great roar, "Good hit! Again!!"

Jiang Wannian rubbed his wrist, which was numb from the impact, and said grimly, "I refuse to believe your Horizontal Training has no weakness!!"

Jiang Wannian charged forward again, aiming a vicious kick at Lu Yuanzheng’s groin!

CLANG!

Jiang Wannian felt as if he had kicked a steel plate. An excruciating pain shot through his leg, and he wondered if the bone was broken!

Jiang Wannian instinctively tried to pull his leg back to check it, but he found that Lu Yuanzheng’s legs, which had been in a horse stance, had suddenly snapped together, clamping his leg firmly in place!

A triumphant grin spread across Lu Yuanzheng’s face. "Master Jiang, I knew you’d attack below the belt! You’ve lost!!"
