Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 500 - 499: Acting Showdown_1
Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Acting Showdown_1
Meng Jingzhou, living under Lu Yang’s tyranny, was forced to agree to the previous terms – to flatter Lu Yang this time, and have Lu Yang flatter him next time.
Two of the greatest geniuses of their era were at war. Although it was a play, neither of them had any intention of holding back.
The spectators under the stage were all seasoned cultivators. If they fought while holding back, it would be easy for their flaws to be exposed. Therefore, they were going all out.
Their battle was ferocious, exhibiting power, speed, and reflexes … not only did it leave their victorious peers in shock but also revealed the immense gap between geniuses representing the state level.
Even those cultivators who had disbanded cultivation and started over were secretly alarmed.
Despite the efforts they’d poured into starting over, they stood no chance against the real geniuses.
The competition of this Great Era was truly terrifying to the extreme!
Lu Yang employed intricate sword arts, which even Mingtai found admirable. Meng Jingzhou’s boxing techniques, passed on to him by the Third Elder, showcased the advantages of a body cultivator to perfection. His body’s every part was forged flawlessly, with even the Transcendance Tribulation Stage elders unable to find fault.
“The Meng Family’s bloodline was indeed terrifying…”

An elder murmured in astonishment. The Meng Family stirred trouble in the Imperial City and still securely held the title as the greatest influential family, all thanks to their irrefutable, absolute strength.
The Meng Family’s power even made those Transcendance Tribulation Stage elders feel a thrill of fear.
And yet, the power they demonstrated was not all they possessed.
His punches were powerful, filled with vigor, capable of vanquishing demons, shocking the heavens and earth, breaking all obstacles; even beasts feared his mighty punches.
Sword Qi was boundless, breaking through like a river breaching a dam, severing the punch marks.
The two fought desperately, deadlock unbroken. Sweating with anxiousness, the competing geniuses kept their eyes fixed on every development on the stage.
Only by concentrating completely could they keep up with the two’s movements.
These were their true peers; learning from them would greatly benefit their future battles.
Cough!
Careless for a moment, Meng Jingzhou got grazed across the shoulder by Sword Qi, losing Qi and blood. Falling into a disadvantageous position, Lu Yang pressed his attack, not allowing him any chance of recovery.
“Meng Jingzhou, don’t give up!”
Someone voiced their feelings – Meng Jingzhou represented the world’s geniuses, their hope. They did not want someone from Heaven’s Court to win.
“Defeat this Young Master Lu!”
“Let them know this is the era of the Great Xia, not their glory days of the ancient times!”
Voices of encouragement reached Meng Jingzhou’s ears. Unfortunately, against the absolute performance, all the encouraging cheers were ineffective.
“Shocking Heaven Six Forms!” Encouraged, Meng Jingzhou’s veins popped, his eyes filled with blood, ready to risk everything.
Lu Yang extended two fingers, smeared blood on the blade, and initiated his final move.
“Void-Breaking Sword Art!”
Boom!
Draining all their spiritual essence, the two clashed in an ultimate showdown, raising a cloud of dust.
Woosh——
A figure was flung backwards, blood spurting continuously, heavily injured.
“It’s Heaven’s Court’s person that was flung backwards!”
Someone rejoiced. This so-called Young Master Lu was seriously injured, something that had never happened before!
Lu Yang knelt on one knee, his sword planted in the ground, looking dazed due to the forceful impact.
But before anyone had the chance to celebrate, the dust cleared to reveal Meng Jingzhou sprawled on the ground, covered in blood, barely breathing, wounded even more severely than Lu Yang!
Meng Jingzhou’s finger twitched, he struggled to open his eyes, tried to stand up multiple times, but his limbs seemed to refuse his commands. Eventually, he reluctantly gave up on getting up.
On the other hand, Lu Yang managed to muster enough strength to laugh despite his injuries.
The outcome had been determined.
The referee clenched his teeth. Allowing a man from the ancient times to win was the humiliation of the Great Xia, but as a referee, he couldn’t show favoritism.
“I declare… Meng Jingzhou… defeated.”
The last two words lingered in his mouth, trembling as he struggled to utter them.
The referee checked Meng Jingzhou’s injury, breathed a sigh of relief. Though the wounds were significant, they weren’t life-threatening, which wouldn’t shake his foundation.
The Five Heavenly Kings rushed to the stage, helping their young master up.
“Young Master, are you okay?”
“Cough… I won’t die… it was indeed a good fight.” Lu Yang was still smiling, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Golden Flame Heavenly King quickly took out a small pill bottle, uncovered the lid, and the scent of an elixir filled the air. He fed two golden pills to Lu Yang, who then began to meditate on the spot, quickly recovering his injuries and spiritual essence.
…
Meng Jingzhou lost.
The representative Mid-stage Golden Core generation’s genius lost.
Many people couldn’t accept this reality.
He almost won! He was on the brink of victory!
The Seventh Elder’s elixir was very effective, Lu Yang quickly recovered to his initial state. He, surrounded by The Five Heavenly Kings, stood up smiling, looking at the five solemn Sect Leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects and Crown Prince Jiang Qun.
“It seems that the geniuses of this era do have some abilities, the fight was not bad, but unfortunately, they are just that, abilities and nothing more.”
As soon as these words were said, the crowd was stirred into a frenzy. His remarks were too arrogant. What did he mean by “nothing more”? Everyone saw the tiny gap between the two! A small detail could determine the victory. If there were to be a rematch, who knew who would win!
“Young Master Lu, your words suggest that you don’t respect the geniuses of this era. You should understand that there are always people better than you, and skies higher than your sky. This world does not belong to your Heaven’s Court.” Sect Master Lu gave Young Master Lu a meaningful look, the threat in his words were clear to all.
Young Master Lu scoffed as though he found Sect Master Lu’s words ignorant: “‘There are always people better and skies higher?’ That’s just an excuse for mediocrities who’ve lost. When it comes to talent, who can surpass me?”
Dark Ghost Heavenly King looked down on the crowd with disdain: “If it were not for the ancients suppressing our young master, he would have become an immortal in ancient times, why wait till today?”
Young Master Lu glanced at the solemn Dark Ghost Heavenly King and waved his hand impatiently: “Protector Dark Ghost, enough, I am in a good mood today. Let’s not discuss these–.”
“Yes.”
Dark Ghost Heavenly King ceased to speak and stepped back, statue-like.
Everyone inhaled sharply, the shock in their hearts was inexpressible. Was Young Master Lu’s talent so high it even made immortals jealous?
What kind of amazing talent would that be?
There were only records of the Four Immortals of the Ancients and there were no accounts of their talent.
In other words, Young Master Lu’s talent was unique, something that was not mentioned in any books, ancient and present.
“Just boasting, if Young Master Lu is so confident, why not try a fight with me?”
To everyone’s surprise, Sect Master Lu leaped down from the stand and landed steadily on the battlefield.
“Speaking of which, Sect Master Lu is also at the Mid-stage Golden Core level, indeed a worthy opponent. But this tone, I don’t like it.” Young Master Lu twiddled his fingers, speaking slowly.
Their eyes met as if sparks were flying. The Five Heavenly Kings tactfully retreated, avoid disturbing Young Master’s interest.
“So, are we doing this?”
“Bring it on!”
