FVN Chapter 12 To defeat you, I only need one palm strike!
Chapter 12 To defeat you, I only need one palm strike!
Zhao Tianxiong didn't even turn his head after hearing Zhao Li's words.
Zhao Li clenched his fists.
He glanced at Lu Yuan on the arena... his right shoulder was swollen and red, his clothes were torn, he had been ambushed by an opponent who had been forcibly raised to the peak of body tempering.
Such a person is the one he considers his opponent.
Zhao Li's hands were trembling.
It wasn't out of anger, it was out of humiliation.
I felt humiliated on behalf of Lu Yuan.
I also feel ashamed of the martial arts spirit that I have always pursued!
On the arena, Blood Butcher stretched his muscles and bones, which were filled with the Blood Burning Secret Technique.
At the peak of body tempering, the Qi and blood surge through the meridians, bringing a sense of expanding power.
He looked at Lu Yuan with a sinister smile.
"Scared? Blame it on your overconfidence. Qingzhou City doesn't need someone as arrogant as you..."
"Originally, I only intended to cripple you, but I've changed my mind. Let me give you my last words!"
"Don't pin your hopes on the city lord! Even if he makes a move, I'm confident I can kill you here before he does!"
Lu Yuan looked at him and remained silent for a moment.
Then he laughed.
"Last words?" he asked in a very calm tone.
"I think you've got something wrong."
"Where do you get such confidence?" Lu Yuan looked at Xue Tu with disdain.
"A mere peak Body Tempering stage."
During these three days, Lu Yuan did not only cultivate.
He was the one who had someone spread the rumor about the Qilin bloodline.
All for this moment.
Lu Yuan slowly raised his left hand.
Grab the torn collar of his clothes at his right shoulder.
"Have you all always wanted to know if I have the bloodline of the Qilin?" The voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it very clearly.
He pulled hard.
The remaining part of the garment was completely torn to shreds.
His right shoulder, right arm, and half of his chest were now completely exposed to the sunlight.
Yellowish-green bruises covered the shoulder sockets, and the dark gold of the gold-threaded soft armor flowed beneath the bruises.
Sweat trickled down the lines of his shoulder blades.
The sunlight shone directly on his right arm.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Then everyone saw it.
Starting from the bruises on his shoulder, dark blue lines slowly emerged under his skin.
It's not a tattoo, but lines that emerge from deep within the flesh, activated by sunlight and sweat, spreading along the veins.
Shoulder socket, upper arm, elbow crease, forearm...
It's a complete Qilin pattern!
With a ferocious expression and bristling beard and hair, the Qilin's head was facing the direction of Blood Butcher.
The entire room fell silent.
Then it exploded.
"Holy crap, a Qilin! ...It really is a Qilin!"
"That rumor is true! Lu Yuan really does possess the bloodline of the Qilin!"
"My God! The bloodline of an ancient divine beast! No wonder he possesses boundless power! No wonder his comprehension is astonishing!"
At this moment, a familiar notification sound rang in Lu Yuan's mind.
New entry: [Qilin Bloodline (Green) (Evolvable)]: As the bloodline holder of the ancient divine beast Qilin, all skills are increased by 5% in power and damage taken is reduced by 5%.
New entry: [Unfathomable (Green) (Evolvable)]: You possess an unfathomable background and an extremely mysterious past. Whenever someone acknowledges your background or past, there is a certain chance to obtain related items or entries.
[Innate Divine Strength (Green) in Evolution]: Evolution progress 73%-95%.
Become!
Ding!
Everyone fully acknowledges your Qilin bloodline and has developed a strong interest in and speculation about your background.
New entry: [Qilin Arm (Blue)]: As a possessor of the Qilin bloodline, your arm possesses a portion of the life force of the divine beast Qilin. Your healing speed from injuries far surpasses that of ordinary people, and you possess strength and resistance that are difficult for ordinary individuals to achieve.
At that moment, Blood Wolf suddenly stood up from the audience.
The tiger-skin chair was knocked backward.
Zhao Tianxiong's pupils contracted.
Zhao Li stared blankly at the ferocious Qilin on Lu Yuan's right arm, his fist slowly loosening.
Even Qin Lie stood up from his chair, staring intently at Lu Yuan's arm!
Lu Youde's hands were trembling.
He had lived for forty-three years and had never witnessed the true awakening of a divine beast's bloodline.
I've only read about it in ancient books.
His lips trembled; he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
At the edge of the crowd, Qin Zhao's hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turning white.
She looked at the boy on the ring with his bare right arm and a Qilin tattoo.
Looking at the shocking bluish-yellow bruise on his right shoulder.
Only she knows.
Lu Yuan is indeed injured.
The Qilin bloodline is also real.
She suddenly remembered that day on Zhuque Street, when he held the carriage with one hand without even breaking a sweat.
It turns out that her composure wasn't feigned.
They really do have the capacity.
Qin Zhao's ears turned slightly red.
Beside her, Qin Lie stood with his hands behind his back.
He glanced at the boy on the stage, then at his daughter.
Qin Zhao's ears were still red, but she was completely unaware of it.
Qin Lie didn't say anything, only his lips twitched slightly.
On the arena, Blood Butcher recovered from his shock.
His expression changed several times before finally settling on a ferocious, almost insane look.
"So what if you have the bloodline of a Qilin!"
His voice was hoarse.
"You're only at the mid-stage of Body Tempering, while I'm at the peak! My cultivation level surpasses yours! With the Blood Burning Secret Technique activated, my strength, speed, and reflexes completely overwhelm you!"
Lu Yuan looked at him, his tone indifferent.
"Peak of Body Tempering? Blood Burning Secret Technique?"
He shook his head.
"This kind of forcibly elevated realm has a weak foundation and impure qi and blood. Let alone the peak of Body Tempering, even if you forcibly break through to the Blood Condensation Realm..."
He paused.
"To defeat you, I only need one palm strike!"
The audience erupted in uproar once again.
"One slap? He said one slap?"
"The difference between late-stage Body Tempering and peak-stage Body Tempering is a minor realm! Moreover, Blood Butcher is empowered by the Blood Burning Secret Technique, making him actually stronger than an ordinary peak-stage Body Tempering cultivator!"
"That's outrageous!"
Blood Butcher laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"One palm strike? Hahaha! Fine! Fine! I'll see how you defeat me with just one palm strike!"
Lu Yuan did not laugh.
"Don't believe me?" he said calmly.
"Let's make a bet."
"What kind of bet?"
"I'm standing here, neither dodging nor flinching. I'll only strike with one palm... If I can't knock you off the stage with one palm, I'll admit defeat."
The entire room fell silent.
On the west side of the stands, Blood Wolf narrowed his eyes.
Lu Yuan's right shoulder was indeed injured, and the pattern of the Qilin bloodline had indeed appeared.
Is he truly confident in making such a bet, or is he just bluffing?
His gaze swept over Lu Yuan's right shoulder... that bluish-yellow bruise...
The injury is real.
Even if someone with a severe right shoulder injury has the bloodline of a Qilin, how powerful a palm strike can they deliver?
Seeing that Qin Lie showed no intention of stopping them.
Blood Wolf was relieved.
Since we've already started, let's see it through to the end!
He nodded slightly to Blood Butcher.
Having received his approval, Blood Butcher grinned and said, "Alright! Let's bet! I want to see what's so great about the Qilin bloodline!"
He took a deep breath and pushed the Blood Burning Secret Technique to its limit.
At the peak of body tempering, the blood and qi surged like boiling water, the muscles all over the body expanded, and the blood vessels under the skin bulged out like earthworms.
With this punch, he intended to cripple Lu Yuan.
