Protect Our Patriarch

As the words fell, a green figure descended from the sky, landing in front of Brother Jinshan.

The woman who appeared at this critical moment was none other than the Green Wei junior sister who had just escaped.

She put her hands on her hips and scolded the disciples of the Xuan Yao sect, "Zhang Xiuping, Mu Yuanbai, you think you're so capable, don't you? Come on, let your Green Wei senior sister teach you how to behave."

"Junior sister!"

"Junior sister, you're finally here!"

"Junior sister is mighty, junior sister is domineering! Teach them a lesson!"

As soon as Green Wei junior sister appeared, the people of Changchun Valley immediately gained confidence, their faces glowing red, as if they had someone to back them up.

It was very clear that although Green Wei junior sister was avoided by the people of Changchun Valley because of her strange experiments, her combat power was indeed strong.

Listening to the excited cheers of her junior brothers and sisters, Green Wei junior sister couldn't help but straighten her back, lift her chin, and her aura became even more domineering.

Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai, the two elite disciples of the younger generation under the Xuan Yao sect, changed their expressions when they saw her.

They both stepped forward and bowed in unison, "Xiuping, Yuanbai, greet Green Wei junior sister."

They didn't dare to offend Green Wei. Moreover, this woman was cunning, and if they offended her, who knew what bad things might happen in the future.

"If you two want to fight, I'll accompany you." Green Wei junior sister said with a domineering air.

Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai looked at each other.

"We dare not fight with Green Wei junior sister." Zhang Xiuping said, "Moreover, as a direct disciple, it might be inappropriate for junior sister to participate in our traditional celebration for young core disciples and new disciples, right?"

Mu Yuanbai also chimed in, "If Green Wei junior sister is interested, we have direct senior brothers in our Xuan Yao sect who can accompany junior sister to have a good time."

"You!"

Green Wei junior sister stomped her foot in anger, but had nothing to say.

Because what they said was indeed reasonable.

Who doesn't have a few direct disciples? If all the direct disciples came out to play, wouldn't it be chaos?

"Junior sister." Brother Jinshan stepped forward, smiling bitterly, "It's indeed inappropriate for you to participate. It's okay, we're used to it. Anyway, close your eyes, grit your teeth, and what should pass will pass. Play however you want, anyway, in a few years, I'll be over sixty and won't be eligible to participate anymore."

Li Yuzhe on the side looked sad.

The combat power of Changchun Valley was really passed down from generation to generation. After Brother Jinshan retired, wouldn't it be his turn, Li Yuzhe?

Rules are rules, traditions are traditions.

Green Wei had no choice but to glare at the two of them warningly, "You two better be careful."

With no other choice, she had to step back.

"Come on~" Brother Jinshan stepped forward, saying calmly, "According to the usual practice in previous years, the appetizer is always a practice for the young core disciples. Zhang Xiuping, Mu Yuanbai, who of you two will go first this time? Or you can both go together, I, Jinshan, am ready to go all out and play with you to the end."

As he said, what should come will come, but what should pass will also pass.

Isn't it just getting beaten? Anyway, he could bear it.

Brother Jinshan took off his coat and went up to the stage, directly posing in a "pick whatever you want" manner, apparently ready to give up.

Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai looked at each other, but both were uninterested.

"Forget it, forget it~ It's too boring to always play with Brother Jinshan." Zhang Xiuping sighed.

"You're right, the only one in Changchun Valley who can play is Brother Jinshan, but it's boring to play too much." Mu Yuanbai also sighed, "Forget it, Brother Jinshan will be sixty in a few years, let him pass peacefully~"

The two of them sang in harmony, their disdain was obvious.

Brother Jinshan on the stage stumbled and almost fell.

He had already posed, mentally prepared, ready to close his eyes and grit his teeth to face the storm.

But they not only refused to play with him, they even showed disdain!

How could he bear this!

Seeing Brother Jinshan almost ready to duel with Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai in anger, Li Yuzhe and another junior brother quickly stepped forward to hold him back, persuading him while pulling him off the stage.

"Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry. If they don't want to play, let them be, at least you won't get beaten~"

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Zhang Xiuping didn't pay much attention to Brother Jinshan's reaction. After saying that, he turned to Wang Luoqiu and said, "Junior sister Luoqiu, the master said that everything today is up to you. Why don't you decide how we should learn and experience today?"His attitude was very amiable and polite, because he knew that although his strength might far surpass Wang Luoqiu now, there would come a day when this talented junior sister's strength would surpass his.

The master had hinted that as soon as Luoqiu reached the Spirit Platform realm, he would directly accept her as his personal disciple.

"Brother Xiuping is too kind."

Wang Luoqiu returned the courtesy and then calmly looked at the dozen or so new disciples of Changchun Valley.

However, those disciples of Changchun Valley were either looking up at the sky or looking down at the ground, none of them dared to meet her gaze.

Wang Luoqiu frowned and slowly shook her head, "Brother Xiuping, they are too weak, it's not interesting to win against them."

Zhang Xiuping was speechless.

If you don't fight them, who else do you want to fight?

Wang Luoqiu's gaze swept over the people of Changchun Valley, and then suddenly fell on Brother Jinshan, she calmly said, "I heard that Brother Jinshan is quite powerful, let's choose him."

What?!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Wang Luoqiu actually wanted to fight Brother Jinshan? Isn't this too crazy?

I knew it.

Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, also speechless.

He had to admit, the character of their sixth sister hadn't changed from childhood, she always chose to fight the strong.

He still clearly remembered the incident when Wang Luoqiu organized a group of brothers and sisters to besiege him.

Brother Jinshan didn't expect to be singled out, he was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed out of anger, "Alright, alright~ Since this junior sister is so interested in me, then come on!"

Saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go on stage again.

This is too humiliating! He could understand if his old rivals Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai said they wanted to fight him, but a little girl who just entered the sect dared to repeatedly say she wanted to fight him?

He was willing to lose face today, he must teach this little girl a lesson!

However, before he could take a step, he was pulled back by several junior brothers next to him.

"Brother, no~"

"Brother Jinshan, don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil~"

"On this, Junior Sister Luoqiu…" On the other side, Mu Yuanbai also quickly pulled Wang Luoqiu aside and whispered, "Brother Jinshan is almost sixty, you have to give him some face. How about we lower the age?"

Wang Luoqiu thought for a moment, feeling that her brother made sense, so she nodded and said, "Alright~ Let's make it under fifty."

Brother Zhang Xiuping trembled in his heart and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Junior Sister Luoqiu, you are only twenty, it's not quite appropriate to fight those under fifty, right? How about thirty?"

It was normal for this junior sister with extraordinary talent to look down on her peers.

But Zifu Academy was not the outside world, there were quite a few people who reached the Spirit Platform realm between thirty and forty. Fifty years old, they had been immersed in the Spirit Platform realm for a long time, how could a Qi Refining realm fight them?

Besides, he, Zhang Xiuping, was also almost fifty, and he was considered young among the core disciples, and his cultivation had reached the third level of the Spirit Platform realm. If Junior Sister Luoqiu said to fight those under fifty, wouldn't that mean to beat him down too? How could he bear this?

Hearing Brother Xiuping's words, Wang Luoqiu frowned slightly, somewhat reluctant.

However, considering that Brother Xiuping and Brother Yuanbai were usually quite "reasonable", she felt she should give them some face.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally reluctantly took a step back, "Thirty is too young. Let's make it thirty-five~ Any younger would be boring."

Thirty-five!

Even so, Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai both found it incredible. They always felt that Junior Sister Luoqiu was exaggerating?

Subconsciously, they looked up at the three elders in the sky.

Elder Xuan Yao also looked slightly serious, but since she wanted to try, let her try. Even if she lost, it wouldn't be a disgrace.

"Good disciple, fight well." Elder Xuan Yao said calmly, "No matter what happens, your master will back you up."

"Thank you, Master."

Wang Luoqiu returned the salute without joy or sorrow, then turned to look at the people of Changchun Valley and said loudly, "Someone under thirty-five, come forward."

As soon as these words came out, the people of Changchun Valley were furious.

This was too arrogant and outrageous!

This time, Li Yuzhe, who was in charge of recruiting new disciples, couldn't help but jump out, "Little girl, I'm thirty-four this year, and I've just advanced to the Spirit Platform realm not two years ago, let me experience the power of Xiaoyao Peak!"

With that, he was the first to jump onto the stage.

However, Wang Luoqiu seemed to have not noticed his anger at all, she just calmly went up to the stage and bowed to Li Yuzhe, "Wang Luoqiu of Xiaoyao lineage, please teach me, Brother."

Li Yuzhe laughed out of anger, "Junior Sister Luoqiu, I'm more than a decade older than you, I won't take advantage of you. As long as you can break my defense, you win."

With that, he took out a piece of bark the size of a palm.

The surface of the bark was full of wrinkles, it looked simple and vicissitudinous, very unremarkable.However, as Li Yuzhe continuously infused his Xuanqi, the bark instantly swelled, transforming into a set of heavy bark armor that covered his entire body, leaving only his eyes exposed.

The green Yimu Xuanqi slowly circulated on the surface of the bark armor, even the uneven bark wrinkles seemed to be glowing faintly, exuding a profound and heavy aura.

"Sister Luoqiu, this is the secret technique of Changchun Valley - Ancient Tree Armor." Brother Xiuping reminded, "Not only is its defense astonishing, but if it cannot be broken quickly, it will self-repair."

Wang Luoqiu nodded to show that she understood.

At this moment, Li Yuzhe had once again activated his Xuanqi, a substantial green energy rose from his body, and in an instant, a thick green Xuanqi shield was formed around him.

"The Yimu Spirit Shield, it can continuously replenish energy." Brother Yuanbai also solemnly reminded, "This spirit shield is extremely tricky, it has a reputation of being as sticky as a candy, 'as long as the Xuanqi is not extinguished, the spirit shield will not break'. Sister Luoqiu, if your burst power is insufficient, it may be difficult to break this spirit shield."

In the crowd, Wang Shouzhe, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

No wonder the Ancestor Long Yan had commented that Changchun Valley was "very resilient". It seemed that they were not just "capable of taking hits".

"Thank you for the reminder, brothers." Wang Luoqiu turned her head and nodded in gratitude, her expression slightly serious, "Brother from Changchun Valley, are you ready?"

"Hold on, I have one more thing."

Li Yuzhe took out a tender leaf that was as green as jade and full of vitality, and put it in his mouth.

Visible green energy was immediately emitted from the tender leaf, flowing throughout his body.

"Li Yuzhe, have you no shame?" Brother Xiuping was so angry that he cursed, "Are you just using defense as an excuse to stack up your power? You're even using the Longevity Leaf against a junior sister who is more than a decade younger than you, aren't you ashamed?!"

The disciples of Changchun Valley are known for their defense rather than offense. If other disciples were to fight against them, they usually wouldn't give their opponents such ample opportunity to increase their defense.

The other disciples of Xiaoyaofeng also couldn't help but loudly condemn Li Yuzhe's shamelessness.

"Brother Yuzhe is only defending and not attacking, what more do you want?" The people of Changchun Valley were not convinced and immediately began to retort.

The argument between the two sides made Wang Luoqiu frown slightly.

She raised a hand.

The surroundings immediately quieted down.

"Brother, are you ready?" Wang Luoqiu calmly looked at Li Yuzhe.

Seeing Wang Luoqiu's calm demeanor, Li Yuzhe felt a bit embarrassed, wondering if he had gone a bit too far.

However, thinking of Wang Luoqiu's previous bold words, his heart hardened again.

He felt that it was his responsibility to teach this little girl that there are always people better than her, and mountains beyond mountains, and not to underestimate the Changchun lineage.

"Sister, feel free to attack!"

With the Longevity Leaf in his mouth, he nodded vaguely, full of confidence.

As soon as his words fell.

Wang Luoqiu moved.

In an instant, she had pushed her battle body to its limit.

This time, not only her eyes, but her entire body was covered in a layer of red energy, as if she was wrapped in a layer of burning flames.

Although thin, it exuded a strong aura, making her look like a majestic phoenix, not to be underestimated even in her youth.

This was her state after awakening her second bloodline. Not only was it easier for her to enter the battle body state, but her power was also incomparable to before.

"Boom!"

She punched the Yimu Spirit Shield.

Ripples immediately spread across the shield, almost shattering it.

Li Yuzhe's body was instantly sent flying by her punch.

Before he could land, Wang Luoqiu caught up with him like lightning, grabbed him with both hands, and with a swift throw, Li Yuzhe "whooshed" into the sky.

He flew up to more than ten meters high.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented, Li Yuzhe lost control of his body.

At the same time, Wang Luoqiu stomped on the ground, leaped into the air with a "thud", and instantly reached above Li Yuzhe. Then she fell down, stomping hard on him.

"Boom!"

Li Yuzhe was smashed onto the stage like a cannonball.

The stage, which was carved out of ordinary stone for the martial arts competition, was immediately smashed into pieces.

Li Yuzhe turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But it wasn't over yet.

In mid-air, Wang Luoqiu used the force of her stomp to ascend again, reaching a height of nearly twenty meters. Then she flipped over and accelerated her fall.

With the momentum of this sky-high fall, she threw a punch.Gathering her strength, her fist suddenly burst into a flame-like radiance. She was enveloped in a dazzling red light, like a meteor falling, unstoppable.

"Boom~!"

In the deafening roar, Wang Luoqiu's fist, as white as jade, brutally smashed into Li Yuzhe.

Li Yuzhe's body shook violently.

Almost in an instant, his Yimu Spirit Shield was shattered by a single punch. The seemingly indestructible ancient tree armor also cracked into pieces, and even the stage beneath him was smashed into a large pit, with countless fragments flying out.

"Puff!"

Li Yuzhe spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the leaves of the Tree of Longevity in his mouth also flew into the air.

Wang Luoqiu seemed to have anticipated all of this.

After throwing her punch, she didn't continue to pursue. Instead, she calmly retracted her fist and stood aside, her voice steady, "Brother Yuzhe, could you please take this seriously? Can we officially start our spar now?"

Below the stage, everyone was dumbfounded.
