The most direct way for a man to express himself before a woman is through wealth and strength!
Lu Chi is the eldest son of the Lu Family, one of the ten great families, and ranks third among the True Disciples in strength.
He intended to suppress Chu Nan, a prestigious Sect Leader's Disciple, to display his prowess and win the heart of the young girl, Zheng Yao.
However, seeing Lu Chi's overbearing manner made Zheng Yao feel more repulsed, and instead, she grew a bit interested in Chu Nan, who wasn't afraid of Lu Chi.
With an arrogant smile, Lu Chi approached Chu Nan step by step with one hand behind his back, and casually extended his other hand, closing his fingers, delivering a palm with the words, "So what if you're a Sect Leader's Disciple? If I show you face, I'll call you junior brother, but without respect, you're just an ant."
"I, Lu Chi, need only three parts of my strength to kill you."
This palm strike seemed casual, yet it burst forth with violent Spiritual Power, pressing down towards Chu Nan's head.
Bam!
"Thunderous Dominating Fist!"
Chu Nan remained unfazed, clenching his fist with one hand as his arm was surrounded by thunder, delivering an explosive punch!
The clash between fist and palm sparked fiercely, and the roaring erupted, causing the river to churn, massive waves surging and eventually exploding!
The thunder extended to Lu Chi's body, causing him to grunt and retreat several steps.
Chu Nan stood firmly, looking at Lu Chi with a cold smile, "Is this what ranks third among the True Disciples? Seems it's not much after all."
Wan Qiang looked at Chu Nan in astonishment, his estimate of Chu Nan's strength once again refreshed.
The surrounding True Disciples were shocked by this scene, exchanging looks of surprise, showing odd expressions on their faces, not expecting Chu Nan to actually repel Lu Chi.
Lu Chi's expression turned pitch-dark, Chu Nan's words stung him, making him feel immensely humiliated in public.
Although he hadn't used his full strength just now, Chu Nan had still found an opportunity, but being pushed back was being pushed back, the dignified third True Disciple being repelled by Chu Nan was a great shame for him.
"Chu Nan, you better not get cocky, I only used a fraction of my strength just now, you have no right to act arrogant before me, killing you is as easy as reaching into a bag!"
With a face full of anger, Lu Chi shouted, launching a palm blow from a distance, this time with several times the power of before, a force that would startle everyone.
"Blast Killing Flame Palm!"
This palm, although only a lower-grade yellow rank, was terrifying when cast by Lu Chi.
"This move is strong, but I'm unafraid!"
Chu Nan's expression was serious, after all, Lu Chi was a Martial Artist at the peak of the ninth stage of a Spirit Pill, a world of difference from him, in a real fight he had no choice but to flee.
But the attack before him was not enough to make Chu Nan retreat, he gripped his Red Flame Sword, suddenly slashed!
"Cyan Mountain Radiant Sun Sword!"
Sword Qi, radiant like the sun, instantly enveloped Lu Chi's Palm Power.
The collision caused vast amounts of river water to vaporize, finally dissipating amidst the roars.
"What's going on?"
"What Martial Skill is Chu Nan using? I've never seen it before!"
The scene left everyone in shock, unexpectedly, Chu Nan of the sixth stage Spirit Pill was able to break Lu Chi's Martial Skill!
Wan Qiang was even more shocked staring at Chu Nan, wondering if he could withstand such a sword attack himself.
But compared to others' shock, Lu Chi's expression was even worse.
Even after using a Martial Skill, he still couldn't defeat Chu Nan, and thinking of Zheng Yao watching him made him feel unspeakably ashamed and angry.
"Chu Nan, with only the sixth stage Spirit Pill, today I must kill you!"
Lu Chi, being a narrow-minded person, released surging Spiritual Power like a tide from within, seemingly about to unleash his full strength.
Chu Nan furrowed his brow, already prepared to abandon the opportunity at Flying Treasure Rock and escape.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yao retorted mockingly, "Lu Chi, stop, using all your strength against a mere sixth stage Spirit Pill, aren't you ashamed being the third True Disciple?"
"What?" Lu Chi turned his head to look at Zheng Yao, not expecting her to speak up for Chu Nan.
Then, Zheng Yao glanced at Lu Chi, saying, "Senior brother Lu Chi, even bullying someone has limits, don't make me look down on you."
Zheng Yao's words pierced Lu Chi's heart like a knife, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
But he couldn't confront Zheng Yao like he did with Chu Nan.
Zheng Yao was ranked fourth among the True Disciples, also at the peak of the ninth stage Spirit Pill, not much weaker than him, unable to submit her through force and needed another method.
Hearing Zheng Yao's words, Lu Chi forced himself to calm down, capturing Zheng Yao's affection was more important than Chu Nan's life and death.
Lu Chi tried to squeeze out a smile, saying, "Junior sister is joking, I was just playing with junior brother Chu Nan, pretending to kill him while actually instructing him, but since junior sister doesn't like it, I'll stop."
Though his face bore a smile, Lu Chi still glared at Chu Nan venomously, secretly deciding to kill Chu Nan after winning Zheng Yao's favor, otherwise the hatred in his heart wouldn't be quelled!
Chu Nan gave Zheng Yao a deep look, silently marking this favor in his heart.
Whether she meant it or not, Chu Nan needed to find a way to express his gratitude, only through knowing and repaying kindness could more goodwill be received.
If one does not think to return favors, one will eventually end up alone.
With Lu Chi ceasing his targeting of Chu Nan, the area around Flying Treasure Rock settled down.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Flying Treasure Rock, waiting for treasures to emerge.
Suddenly, Wan Qiang pointed at Flying Treasure Rock, exclaiming, "Chu Nan, there's movement in Flying Treasure Rock!"
The rock's surface began rippling like a spring, red radiance began to bloom, as a faint red ginseng trembled, flying out from Flying Treasure Rock, transforming into a streak of light heading into the distance.
"It's Blood Ginseng!"
"At least three hundred years old!"
"No one move, this is mine."
"Junior sister, wait here, senior brother will snatch this Blood Ginseng for you!"
Boom!
More than ten True Disciples almost simultaneously charged towards the Blood Ginseng, unleashing their full power to compete for it.
Ignoring any rankings or status, various Martial Skills bombarded the surroundings without hesitation, all to create a single opportunity.
Wan Qiang sighed in disappointment, "What a pity, my strength is too weak, I have no right to compete."
Chu Nan didn't comment but instead, while everyone's attention was on the three-hundred-year-old Blood Ginseng, turned his gaze to Flying Treasure Rock.
Kui Guang kept reminding Chu Nan in his mind, "The good stuff inside is coming out soon, quickly get to Flying Treasure Rock!"
Rumble!
The rock's surface again rolled like boiling water, deep red light blooming like a lotus, as a gigantic Blood Ginseng as thick as an arm emerged.
Wan Qiang was trembling, "So quickly another treasure appeared!"
Zheng Yao, not participating in the chase, was first to notice the change at Flying Treasure Rock, exclaiming, "This is a Millennial Blood Ginseng... no! At least three thousand years!"
Just as Zheng Yao was about to make a move, Chu Nan, thanks to Kui Guang's reminder, had already reached Flying Treasure Rock.
Even before the three-thousand-year Blood Ginseng flew out, Chu Nan grabbed it, kicked off immediately, and distanced himself swiftly.
Wan Qiang saw this and couldn't help but follow, not intending to snatch it from Chu Nan, but hoping to share a little.
Only now did Lu Chi and the others realize that Chu Nan had taken a three-thousand-year Blood Ginseng, and their faces turned enraged.
"Bastard, Chu Nan you actually took the Millennial Blood Ginseng, that's mine, that's mine!"
Lu Chi's eyes were bloodshot, roaring in a demonic frenzy, thoroughly losing his mind at this moment.
