The challenge is just an excuse; they need it to gain fa.
Whether Lu Yu is truly an unparalleled prodigy doesn’t matter; as long as their notoriety spreads, that’s enough. Even if the official Divine Weapon Pavilion clarifies Lu Yu’s identity afterward, the fa would have already spread far and wide.
All benefits with no harm.
Of course, the premise is being able to defeat this "unparalleled prodigy" Lu Yu, otherwise, everything is but an illusion.
In the martial arts arena, aside from challengers, there are also many disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and outer mbers, who are here to watch the excitent after hearing about the challenge happening this afternoon.
Now the war is nearly over, and it’s rare to have sothing to relax with, just nice as a post-war entertainnt activity.
Anyhow, they’re not the ones fighting, so watching doesn’t hurt.
"I’ve already found out, that disciple from Divine Weapon Pavilion is called Lu Yu, and he is very strong," soone said to those who wanted to participate in the challenge.
"If he wasn’t strong, would we be here to challenge him? I just want to challenge the strong ones!" a tall and confident person said.
A group of female challengers, led by a woman in red, occupied a corner of the martial arts arena, looking at the male challengers from afar, and there was a considerable amount of hostility between them.
Tap tap tap~ Footsteps sounded, and Lu Yu’s figure appeared in the arena. The audience saw him coming and quickly made way for him.
Zhou Lan, Li Ruofu, and others who had tead up with Lu Yu for missions were also in the crowd, all very curious to see what kind of person could attract so many challengers.
"Go for it! Knock them out!" A disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion suddenly shouted loudly.
For a mont, the crowd fell silent, then other disciples joined in the chanting: "Go for it! Knock them out!"
Now Lu Yu was the representative of the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and as their representative, he would face challenges from prodigies of other major forces. If Lu Yu wins, the Divine Weapon Pavilion wins, they win.
Hearing their cheers, Lu Yu felt a bit speechless; he didn’t like being forced into taking any unnecessary responsibilities or obligations.
Everything he did was just for himself, without any other reasons.
Walking to the center of the arena, Lu Yu surveyed the crowd and said, "All of you co at at once! Save so ti."
As soon as Lu Yu spoke, it instantly ignited the entire arena, and the disciples cheering for Lu Yu suddenly fell silent. To them, this seed like a death wish.
"So arrogant!"
"Heh~ Hope you can maintain this confidence after your defeat!"
"n are all the sa! Arrogant and conceited!" muttered soone standing behind the woman in red.
"Since you want us to co all at once, we’ll grant you that!" With that said, five or six people rushed out at the sa ti, charging toward Lu Yu.
Although they ca from different directions, those who knew them knew that these six were actually a group.
Those who didn’t know them also charged up, thinking, why not join when soone has already initiated a gang fight?
What if Lu Yu is defeated by them, and they don’t get in on the fa? What then?
One by one, gradually, most people also rushed in, while those who didn’t were either too proud to join others in teaming up against Lu Yu or saw it as a disgraceful act.
They believed they could handle Lu Yu alone and found teaming up to gang up on him embarrassing.
"Alas~ What a pity, such an unparalleled prodigy being beaten down by so many in a gang-up, it truly buries the title," Liu Hongyang sighed on the edge of the now-empty arena.
He had previously even rushed to Lu Yu’s doorstep, kicking the door to challenge him.
But now, with a chance to challenge Lu Yu, he didn’t deem it worthy to partake in this gang fight. He only lanted that Lu Yu, being defeated at the hands of the masses, would have his title of unparalleled prodigy trampled underfoot by worthless individuals.
Boom! Crash crash~
An astonishing scene unfolded; everyone who rushed up was sent flying backwards by a single strike from Lu Yu, all of them flying out of the arena, crashing into the surrounding crowd of onlookers.
The people who fell down were like dumplings dropping continuously into the crowd, shocking the onlookers, who frantically dodged, trying not to be hit by the falling bodies.
Holding the Demon-Breaking Saber, Lu Yu pointed at those still standing, and said calmly, "Do you want to challenge too?"
The scene was silent, save for the groans of pain from those who had fallen to the ground.
Tap tap tap~ Several people retreated quietly a few steps, showing that they did not want to participate in the challenge.
To break through the siege of dozens with a single strike and send everyone flying, they couldn’t even fathom such strength. In such a situation, would they still charge forward to et their deaths?
So retreated, while others excitedly stepped forward, Liu Hongyang, the tall brawny man, the woman in red... they walked several steps, glancing at each other.
Understanding the aning in each other’s eyes: Such a monster can’t be handled alone, so join forces to defeat him!
Bang~ The tall brawny man stomped the ground hard, launching himself rapidly, swinging a heavy hamr towards Lu Yu. As he attacked, the others also rushed at Lu Yu.
The brilliance of martial arts instantly covered the entire arena, and the crowd could barely see Lu Yu’s figure shrouded by various martial arts brilliance, only barely knowing from others’ attacks that Lu Yu was still alive.
Everyone was shocked, questioning themselves—could they survive such an overwhelming barrage of attacks?
The answer was, no.
