Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Wu Family’s? They’re All Mine!

The newcomer was, in fact, Wu Chen. He had received Lin Xuan’s orders to contend for the Lightning Wood. When the others saw him, their expressions fell. It really was Wu Chen! He had actually come! They all looked grim.

Wu Chen was a Grandmaster at the mid-Seven-Star level, a top-tier genius who was a cut above them all. They feared the upcoming battle would be even more difficult.

Meanwhile, Wu Chen descended from the sky. He gazed down upon all below and declared coldly, "I’m taking this Lightning Wood. Who objects?"

The members of the Wu Family cheered; their young master was truly domineering!

The others looked displeased. Those with lesser strength had already retreated quietly, but some remained. A disciple from the Fire Dragon Sect, for instance, said coldly, "Don’t be so arrogant, Wu Chen. Do you really think you’re invincible?"

"What? You dare challenge me?" Wu Chen snorted and took a step forward. The Thunder Power enveloping his body surged out, blasting the disciple who had spoken backward.

That person spat out a mouthful of blood, his face a mask of pain, but he was not subdued. He roared, "You’re strong in a one-on-one fight, I’m not your match. But what if we team up?"

After speaking, he turned to the people from the True Dragon Sect. "Let’s join forces and deal with him together!"

"Alright," the disciples from the True Dragon Sect nodded and walked over. The two sides had joined forces.

A total of six geniuses allied to attack Wu Chen. This lineup was exceptionally powerful. The surrounding crowd gasped in shock, all of them starting to worry for Wu Chen. Wu Chen was strong, but two fists are no match for four hands.

Seeing this, the expressions of the Wu Family members changed drastically. Wu Yu rushed forward, saying, "Brother, I’ll help you."

Nearby, Ru Meng also flew over. "Let’s team up," she offered.

Wu Yu was stunned. Who is this? Is she also on my brother’s side?

But Wu Chen simply said, "There’s no need to team up to deal with them."

He’d been bottling up his anger for a while with nowhere to vent it. And now someone dared to challenge him? This just made him even more furious! He was going to lash out and fiercely vent all his pent-up rage.

With a roar, he charged forward.

The six geniuses opposing him were also enraged. What was the meaning of this? This guy wanted to take on all six of them by himself? What a joke! He was completely looking down on them.

"Go all out!" they bellowed, launching their attacks.

An earth-shattering battle erupted. The combined power of the six geniuses was immeasurable, and overwhelming attacks flooded toward Wu Chen from all directions. Yet, Wu Chen fought like a man possessed, striking out with wild abandon. The two sides clashed in a world-shaking battle.

After more than a hundred moves, the six geniuses were defeated. Two of them had been slain, and the remaining four fled with serious injuries.

The rest of the crowd was dumbfounded. He’s too strong! This Wu Chen is too heaven-defying! Even six geniuses working together were defeated? If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

They figured that perhaps only the likes of Mo Feng and Huo Yuner could contend with Wu Chen. Besides them, no one else was a match for him.

"We won! We won, hahaha!" The Wu Family members cheered. The Lightning Wood now belonged to their family.

Wu Yu was equally ecstatic. "Brother is mighty! Brother is invincible!"

Hmph, these people actually thought they could rival her brother. How ridiculous. Now they knew just how formidable he was!

Wu Yu rushed forward, intending to retrieve the Lightning Wood, but she was stopped by Wu Chen.

"Let me do it," he said.

Wu Yu nodded without giving it a second thought. In her eyes, it didn’t matter if she or Wu Chen obtained the Lightning Wood. The result would be the same since they were both members of the Wu Family. The item would ultimately belong to their family anyway.

Beside them, Ru Meng also smiled. The item was finally in their grasp. She said, "I’ve already informed the Young Master. He’ll be here soon!"

Wu Chen, who had been quite happy, saw his expression change instantly upon hearing that Lin Xuan was coming. He was a prisoner now, one of Lin Xuan’s followers. He couldn’t let his sister find out that he had submitted to Lin Xuan. It was too humiliating.

He turned to Wu Yu and said, "Sister, you should leave now!"

Before Wu Yu could answer, a figure flew over from the distance, landing in front of the crowd. Someone else had arrived. The crowd turned to see who it was.

Then, they exclaimed in shock, "It’s him! Lin Xuan! It’s that Young Emperor!"

Wu Yu also turned to look but remained indifferent. She had, of course, heard of Lin Xuan, who was rumored to be able to fight across a gap of seven cultivation levels. But so what? Her brother was stronger, a peerless genius! This Lin Xuan was no match for her brother at all. He probably came here to fight for the Lightning Wood, but unfortunately for him, he stood no chance.

Wu Yu looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Boy, you’re too late. The Lightning Wood already belongs to our Wu Family. I advise you to leave immediately. If you still want to make a move, don’t blame the Wu Family for being impolite. No matter how strong you are, you’re no match for my brother."

Wu Yu was extremely arrogant, completely disregarding Lin Xuan.

As for Lin Xuan, he spared Wu Yu a single glance before ignoring her completely. He looked at Ru Meng and asked, "Where is it?"

"It’s in Wu Chen’s hands," Ru Meng replied.

Lin Xuan then turned to Wu Chen. "Give me the Lightning Wood."

Wu Chen’s face immediately turned grim. This was the last thing he wanted to happen. He didn’t want to hand it over, at least not in front of his sister. He wanted to maintain his image as a powerful expert in her eyes.

Lin Xuan snorted, his expression darkening. "What? Are you going to defy my orders? Do you know what the consequences are?"

Lin Xuan held power over Wu Chen’s life and death. Hearing this, Wu Chen felt a jolt of fear. He had no choice but to walk over reluctantly. He came to Lin Xuan’s side and handed him the Lightning Wood. Lin Xuan accepted it with a satisfied look. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

When the onlookers saw this scene, they were all flabbergasted.

"What the hell?"

"What’s going on?"

"What did I just see?"

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

"Wu Chen actually surrendered the item!"

"How is that possible?"

"Why would Wu Chen give it to Lin Xuan?"

"When did Wu Chen become so agreeable?"

This was the same unruly and arrogant genius who had single-handedly swept through six other great talents just a moment ago, dominating the field! Why would he bow his head before Lin Xuan? The crowd was utterly perplexed.

The members of the Wu Family were also stunned. What was happening?

Wu Yu found it even more unacceptable. "Brother, what are you doing? Why did you give the Lightning Wood to him?" she demanded. This was an extremely precious Treasure! The Wu Family cultivated Thunder Power, and this Lightning Wood was a rare and priceless source of thunder-elemental energy. If her brother absorbed it, his strength could increase even further. Why would he give such a precious Treasure to someone else?

Wu Yu didn’t understand. She had no idea what had happened before. In her heart, her brother was an invincible existence who would never bow his head to anyone, least of all to Lin Xuan.

Wu Chen’s face was grim. "Sister, stop asking and just leave," he said, unwilling to answer.

Beside them, Lin Xuan chuckled. "Oh, is this your sister? What, you didn’t tell her that you’ve already submitted to me?"

Hearing this, Wu Chen’s vision went black, and he nearly fainted from rage. Damn it, this guy must be doing this on purpose! He’s deliberately rubbing salt in my wound and publicly shaming me!

"You’re spouting nonsense! Utter nonsense!" Wu Yu roared furiously. "How could my brother ever submit to you? Who the hell do you think you are?"

She refused to believe it. He had to be lying
