Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 833: Passing Off a Fake as Real

Lu Yang’s reputation preceded him, his renown spreading far and wide. Zhong Yi wasn’t a fool. If he went against Lu Yang by himself, he would certainly lose.

Hearing Zhong Yi’s wish, the crowd looked up, staring at Lu Yang. Even those who wanted to acknowledge him as their big brother were no exception.

After all, this was the champion’s wish—it had to be fulfilled.

Moreover, acknowledging him as big brother could be done after the fight too.

“Old Meng, what should we do?” Cold sweat poured down Lu Yang’s back. He felt like a fattened white hog tied to a chair, facing a pack of starving wolves.

Meng Jingzhou had anticipated this situation and signaled for Lu Yang not to worry. “Relax, I’ve already registered this with the authorities. Our event follows legal procedures; it doesn’t count as an unlawful gang brawl. Even if a mob fight breaks out, it’s fine.”

“...Then what about me?”

“You count as normal wear and tear.”

“Old Meng, your grandfather!” Lu Yang forcefully shattered the chair and ropes and took to his heels. If I don’t run now, there’ll be no chance later.

Meng Jingzhou smirked coldly at this scene. I still remember the “One Meng Into Ten Thousand Mengs” incident not long ago. Serves you right for helping my dad beat me! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

If I don’t get back at you, my conscience won’t be at ease!

“Brothers, charge! Let’s take down Lu Yang together!” Someone below shouted.

Instantly, the scions swarmed forward, unleashing all sorts of techniques at Lu Yang without restraint.

Lu Yang suspected the person who yelled was arranged by Meng Jingzhou.

The first stage of the First Lu Yang Championship concluded. The second stage officially began, with all cultivators eliminated in the first stage revived to participate in the second stage.

“Shrinking Earth!” Lu Yang dove headfirst into the ground like he was swimming, evading the attacks. Luotian Forest had towering ancient trees with intertwined roots, and Lu Yang hid within these root systems, making him extremely difficult to locate.

“Where is he?!”

“Use spiritual consciousness to find him!”

“That won’t work. His spiritual consciousness is too strong; he’s shielding himself. We can’t find him!”

Lu Yang was like a deep-sea shark raising its head in the water to watch these ignorant tourists, who remained completely unaware that danger had quietly descended.

“Draw Underground Prison!”

Lu Yang drew a circle underground. A young master standing on the periphery suddenly fell into an underground cage.

This young master was about to call for help when he heard Lu Yang’s sinister threat. “Don’t shout. If you do, I’ll perform the Arhat Fist.”

Thanks to the Taciturn Daoist Priest, Lu Yang’s Arhat Fist’s reputation also spread far and wide.

That young master hastily shut his mouth and nodded, expressing his stance.

Satisfied, Lu Yang swam away, seeking his next target.

Two, three, four...more and more people were tricked into the underground prisons by Lu Yang.

Luo Wushuang was the first to notice something amiss. “Something’s wrong. Why are several people missing?!”

“I heard Lu Yang obtained the legacy of an ancient earthworm! Not only can he burrow underground, but he can also create underground cages!” Zhong Yi said seriously, spreading his spiritual consciousness. He stared nervously and vigilantly at his feet, a drop of cold sweat trickling down his cheek.

It’d be utterly humiliating to be dragged underground by Lu Yang.

Realizing that his plan was exposed, Lu Yang temporarily refrained from acting.

“Can’t be bothered that much now! Since he’s hiding underground and we can’t find him, let’s just flip the entire ground over!” a young master roared in anger, punching the ground, causing cracks to fissure the earth.

The others followed suit, using brute force or earth or wood elemental spells. Luotian Forest seemed to come alive as every inch of soil was churned upward.

Lu Yang shrank to a one-inch miniature figure, hiding behind a clump of overturned soil. Even so, the crowd spotted him with their sharp eyes.

“Over there!” Sun Chuanxian pointed at the tiny Lu Yang and hollered.

“Ice Dragon Mantra!”

“One Tree Reaches the Sky!”

“Flying Sand Whirling Stones!”

Unable to avoid the attacks, Lu Yang reverted to his original size. Simultaneously, he activated the Three Flavor True Fire and Golden Bird True Flame, merging the two into a wall of flame.

The ice dragon collided with the true fire, producing a hissing steam that obscured everyone’s view.

Lu Yang seized this opportunity to strike quickly, hitting as many opponents as he could.

“Arhat Fist!”

Sun Chuanxian was closest to Lu Yang and thus the first to enjoy the Arhat Fist treatment.

“Oh no!” Sun Chuanxian instinctively raised his hands to block, then suddenly remembered the terrifying effects of the Lu-Style Arhat Fist. He tried to switch from blocking to dodging, but it was too late. Struck by Lu Yang’s fist, he was sent flying backward.

Along with his body, his hair was also sent flying away.

“Quick, dodge! Don’t touch him!” others cried out. They didn’t dare to engage directly, scattering away. Lu Yang was like a wolf among sheep; wherever he went, the flock retreated.

At the critical moment, Zhong Yi stepped forward to take charge of the situation. “Everyone, don’t be afraid! I’ve learned the Buddhist forbidden technique, Longevity Art. I guarantee everyone’s hair will grow back!”

Hearing this, the crowd regained their courage and boldly continued fighting Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was trapped in a predicament. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t defeat so many people at the same time. These people weren’t rootless rogue cultivators either; their combat power was outstanding for their cultivation realms.

Watching Lu Yang get beaten, Meng Jingzhou was delighted and cheered from the sidelines.

“Old Lu, left, left! Someone’s trying to hit you on the left... Hey, I even warned you. How did you still get hit?

“Put more force into it! Haven’t you all eaten?

“Old Lu, don’t just defend! Take the initiative!

“Look at you lot, can’t even fight properly. How did you achieve your current cultivation? Put your backs into it!”

“Old Meng, you forced my hand!” Lu Yang was enraged. You really think I have no way to deal with you?

Lu Yang’s moves changed. He stopped using both fists and spells simultaneously, focusing solely on fist techniques. His fist style also changed, becoming even more razor-sharp, unsettling everyone momentarily.

On the other hand, Meng Jingzhou found Lu Yang’s movements increasingly familiar.

Suddenly, Meng Jingzhou felt a portion of his power being drawn away, drifting toward Lu Yang, who was in an arduous battle with the crowd. Lu Yang’s form changed, transforming into Meng Jingzhou’s appearance.

Meng Jingzhou Animal Form Fist!

An ominous feeling immediately washed over Meng Jingzhou, and he turned to run. However, the Lu Yang who had turned into Meng Jingzhou wouldn’t give him that chance, breaking through the crowd and rapidly closing in on him.

Just as the crowd was about to attack, they halted their actions and looked at each other, unsure who they should strike.

“Old Lu, how dare you take on my appearance?!” One Meng Jingzhou grabbed the other Meng Jingzhou’s collar in fury.

“Bullshit! I’m the real Meng Jingzhou! It’s you trying to divert the calamity, you shameless dog!”

“I’m the real one!”

“I am the real one!”

“Little Sister, I’m your elder brother!” One Meng Jingzhou leaped into the treetops, seeking help from Meng Jingyu, who was watching the spectacle.

The other Meng Jingzhou also jumped onto the tree, speaking softly, “Little Sister, can’t you recognize your elder brother?”

Meng Jingzhou watched her two elder brothers jump up, her small mouth agape in shock for a long while.

She looked at one elder brother, then at the other. Seeing they were identical, she hesitated.

“Elder Brother mentioned in his letters that he often defeats Lu Yang-gege. How about you two fight, and whoever wins is my elder brother?”
