Chapter 651 The concept of "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" needs to be changed!
Chapter 651 The concept of "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" needs to be changed!
Lin Dong was the first to react, jumping up excitedly: "Well done, Big Brother! Great fight!"
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on Luo Feng's lips.
He knew that his older brother would never disappoint.
Even Han Li, who had been hiding behind the crowd, began to grow bolder.
As he slowly walked out from the back of the crowd, he murmured softly, "It seems that Big Brother's strength is much higher than we imagined..."
Although Qian Renxue did not speak, the admiration she felt for Zhu Chen was almost impossible to suppress in her eyes.
If Qingyi hadn't been right beside her, she would have screamed out loud.
Of course, there was another person who shared the same feelings as Qian Renxue.
That was Feng Wu, who came with Qingyi.
She stayed at the Celestial Immortal Academy and didn't have much contact with outside cultivators, especially male cultivators.
Because of her high standards, she always looked down on the other male cultivators in the academy.
Even under this subtle influence, she harbored a disdainful attitude towards other male cultivators.
To use a phrase often used by modern people to make fun of her, she prefers to be with female cultivators, such as Qingyi... commonly known as having a 'lesbian' tendency.
But... it wasn't until this trip to Tianyuan City that I saw Zhu Chen's various actions and the crazy things his brothers had done.
She then realized that the male monks outside also had many qualities that were attractive to her.
At least Zhu Chen in front of her was someone she could look at differently.
Unfortunately, the other person is my best friend's man...
Otherwise, she might have directly tried to snatch it.
However, some are happy while others are sad.
For example, Qin Hao was standing to the side, completely speechless.
He suddenly realized that his previously proud strength was nothing compared to Zhu Chen's.
It's one thing if your older brother is more capable than you.
I never expected that an even more perverted one would emerge now.
This huge psychological gap made him doubt his identity as the first supreme ruler of the Qin clan of Immortal Mountain.
……
"Young man, your strength has exceeded my expectations."
The Five Elements Mountain floated in the air, and the runes on its body were still flashing, but they were no longer as dazzling as before.
After a long while, its voice rang in everyone's ears again.
Zhu Chen withdrew his fist, looked up at the Five Elements Mountain, and said calmly, "The time for the three incense sticks to burn hasn't come yet, let's continue."
Wu Xing Shan remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "No need. You have already proven yourself. To have withstood my suppression for so long and even managed to fight back, your strength is enough to shut anyone up... Even if that old fellow from the Immortal Palace comes, I will have an excuse to deal with him..."
Zhu Chen raised an eyebrow: "So, this is just going to be the end of it?"
Wu Xing Shan said, "I keep my word... Let's leave the matter of immortal beings behind. If the Immortal Palace asks about it in the future, I will have my own explanation."
Zhu Chen clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."
The Five Elements Mountain remained silent, its body slowly descending and merging back into the earth.
The terrifying pressure dissipated as a result.
The entire mountain range returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
In truth, Five Elements Mountain itself was also suffering. It was a powerful being that survived from the ancient era of immortals, and once possessed the strength of a true immortal!
Unfortunately, it was severely injured in the battle of the Immortal Ancient Era, and thus survived by sealing its own cultivation.
Now, its cultivation has been completely sealed, and it can only exert the strength of the Escape One Realm.
Even with the Five Elements Mountain Body, one can at most fight against a Supreme-level cultivator.
But the old man behind the Immortal Palace is a surviving immortal-level figure.
Even it has to avoid the opponent's sharp edge when it encounters them.
However, it now has another plan.
Through its previous probing, it already knew that Zhu Chen was only a teenager.
At such a young age, he possesses the strength of a cult leader and can even retaliate against its suppressive power.
Such a thing would be impossible even in the distant ancient immortal era.
Therefore, it believed that, given time, this lower-realm cultivator who released the immortal creature would definitely soar to great heights and become an unparalleled figure in the world.
Perhaps in this degenerate age, he can truly forge his own path.
Just like those few stunningly talented geniuses in the Immortal Ancient Era.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
After the Five Elements Mountain receded, Lin Dong immediately rushed up, looking at Zhu Chen with excitement in his eyes.
Zhu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, my clothes are just a little dirty..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong noticed that Zhu Chen's clothes had been torn to shreds during the previous confrontation, and he could even see the taut muscle lines that were faintly visible beneath the tattered clothes.
Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother, the quality of your clothes is terrible. Next time, just ask Luo Feng to get you a suit of armor from their world..."
Zhu Chen rolled his eyes at him: "You try being crushed by a mountain and see if your clothes can be saved."
Lin Dong scratched his head, about to say something more, when Luo Feng suddenly walked over: "Big brother, I'm planning to get some armor to wear recently, how about I get you one too? Armor can increase combat power, it should be helpful to you..."
Lin Dong asked curiously, "What is armor?"
Luo Feng smiled and said, "We'll talk about it in detail later..."
As the two were talking, others gathered around.
Seeing Zhu Chen's tattered clothes, Han Li couldn't help but tease him, "Big brother, your physique... doesn't match your age at all..."
Zhu Chen rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "What? Do I have to pretend to be a weak and frail scholar like you?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and ripped off Han Li's shirt.
Everyone subconsciously turned around to look, only to see that Han Li's chest muscles were actually quite well-defined.
Lin Dong and the others subconsciously opened their eyes.
They didn't expect that Han Li, who usually looked like a timid and weak scholar, would appear so.
I never expected there to be so much inside.
"Ahem~ I just didn't want to be too conspicuous..."
Han Li quickly gathered his clothes and coughed twice, saying, "Showing weakness can make your enemies underestimate you... which makes it easier for us to do anything."
Luo Feng continued, "I understand that, it's called 'playing dumb to fool the enemy'..."
Lin Dong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why pretend to be weak to take advantage of others? If you show weakness, people will look down on you and might even bully you. You're just asking for trouble. If you ask me, you should show your strongest side, no matter how strong you are now. This will not only intimidate those who are petty, but also make others look at you with new respect. Just like my brother, if he hadn't shown his strength in Tianyuan City, why would the Qin Clan Chief have invited us to this Immortal Mountain?"
