The moment the sound of surrender was heard, the Dragon-catching Technique in the sky stopped.
The huge palm stopped a foot above the opponent's head, and under the heavy palm, there was an oppressive aura. The colorful light pressed down on the opponent's head, making him unable to move.
Then, the palm in the sky suddenly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
Feeling the pressure on his head disappear, the opponent heaved a sigh of relief. His legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground!
Lu An, who was far away, was the same. However, compared to his opponent's mental collapse, his body was completely exhausted.
The Immortal Qi in his body had been completely drained by the Dragon-catching Technique. Before using the Dragon-catching Technique, he was extremely careful about the consumption of Immortal Qi in his body, and he did not waste any. Therefore, in the previous quick exchange, he only used less than 20% of his Immortal Qi. However, the Dragon-catching Technique just now consumed all the remaining Immortal Qi in his body.
This was the first time he used such a huge Dragon-catching Technique. He did not expect the consumption of the Dragon-catching Technique to be so great. If his opponent could withstand this move, he would be the one to surrender.
Although both of them were paralyzed on the ground, someone had already surrendered. The host quickly came to the center of the arena. First, he glanced at Lu An, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then, he glanced at his opponent, and his eyes were full of contempt.
Losing to an outsider was really a disgrace to Sengoku.
The host's face was gloomy, and he announced loudly, "Lu An wins this round!"
However, after the announcement, the entire arena was silent, and not many people raised their hands to applaud. Everyone looked at Lu An, and their gazes were like daggers on his back.
Lu An slowly stood up under everyone's gaze. He took two deep breaths, and only then did he feel much better. He raised his head and quickly looked around. There was no extra expression on his face, and he was very calm. Then, he turned around and walked back.
Only when he returned to his seat did he hear applause. It was from Yao, and she did not shy away from it.
"An!" Yao even took the initiative to run over and support Lu An, who was swaying a little, and said happily, "I knew you would win!"
Lu An smiled and returned to his seat with Yao's help. At this moment, Yuan and Jun both looked at Lu An. The way they looked at Lu An had changed.
Even Jun didn't know that Lu An's Dragon-catching Technique had already begun to take shape in just a short month. Even Sengoku's people rarely succeeded in learning the Dragon Catching Technique. Who would have thought that an outsider would be able to learn it so quickly? It was really puzzling.
As for Yuan and Jun, they hadn't forgotten Lu An's amazing close-combat skills. Abyss asked, "Lu An, who taught you this combat technique?"
When Lu An heard this, he turned and looked at Yuan. His face was very pale as he said, "Immortal Master, I cultivated it myself."
"No one taught him?" Yuan frowned and asked.
"No one." Lu An said this with a clear conscience, because the person in the black fog could only be considered a 'fog', a strand of consciousness, not a person.
With this understanding, he didn't think that he was lying and Yuan wouldn't find out.
Sure enough, after Yuan looked at Lu An for a while, he realized that Lu An didn't seem to be lying, so he could only nod. If this kid really studied it himself, then his talent was much higher than that person's.
The rest of the competition became very tedious. After Lu An's battle, almost everyone's attention was on the strength of this outsider. No matter what, it was unbelievable that he could successfully cultivate the Dragon Catching Technique in a month.
All the competitions for the day ended in the evening. Everyone went home. Lu An also rested for a long time and walked back to his courtyard.
Soon, he returned to his courtyard. After entering the room, he sat on the bed and seriously thought about the day's battle.
Today was the first time he officially used Immortal Qi in a battle. After coming to Sengoku for a month, he had a deeper understanding of Immortal Qi.
Whether it was the Fate Wheel or the Immortal Technique, it was impossible for them not to interfere with each other. For example, it was impossible to use the Fate Wheel that was still full after using the Immortal Technique. This was because both the Immortal Technique and the Fate Wheel would put a burden on the body.
When using the Fate Wheel or the Immortal Technique, the heart was the foundation and the whole body was the carrier. His body's burden was limited. When it reached a certain limit, no matter how much power he had, he couldn't release it. Judging from today's battle, the Immortal Technique consumed more of his body than his Fate Wheel.
Moreover, it wasn't just a little bit.
This wasn't difficult to understand. After all, the Fate Wheel was something he was born with, while the Immortal Qi was something that came later. Even if the Immortal Qi had inexplicably modified his heart, it still couldn't compare to the two types of Fate Wheel that he grew up with. It seemed that in the battles after leaving Sengoku, he still had to use the Fate Wheel. He could only use the Immortal Qi under special circumstances.
Thinking of this, Lu An could only smile bitterly for tomorrow's battle. No matter what, it was impossible for him to win tomorrow's battle. He was the winner of the 70th battle, and he saw the winner of the 69th battle. It was impossible for him to win with his strength.
It seemed that he would have to lose another battle in front of others tomorrow.
Lu An smiled bitterly. After eating a Constitution-Enhancing Pill, he sat on his bed and began to cultivate.
In the past month or so, his cultivation of the Immortal Technique had slowed down his progress of reaching the peak of Level 1. He couldn't let his strength stagnate because of the Immortal Technique. In at most seven days, he would be able to reach the peak of Level 1.
Once he reached the peak of Level 1, he would be a Level 2 Heavenly Master. That would be a whole new realm, and he was especially looking forward to it.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and cultivate, there was a sudden knock on his door.
Lu An was startled. He opened his eyes and looked at the door. He didn't know who would come looking for him at this time. Could it be Yao?
Lu An got off his bed and walked to the bedroom door. When he saw the person standing outside, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Want to talk?" Qi looked down at Lu An and raised his eyebrows.
Lu An frowned slightly, but he didn't stop him or delay. He said, "Come in."
Qi strode in and directly entered the courtyard. He first sized up the environment in the courtyard, then turned to Lu An and said, "This courtyard is quite unique, and it's quieter."
"It's indeed very comfortable." Lu An didn't close the door. Instead, he sat on a chair at the side and said, "It's the most elegant place I've ever lived in."
"Of course." Without waiting for Lu An to be polite, Qi sat on the chair opposite Lu An and said, "In terms of luxury, Sengoku might not be the best. However, in terms of tranquility and elegance, I've been to so many places and visited so many royal families, but none of them can compare to this place. "
Lu An nodded slightly. He looked at Qi and said, "So, you didn't come here in the middle of the night just to say this, right?"
"Of course not." Qi smiled. Even though both of them were sitting, he still looked at Lu An condescendingly and said, "I need you to leave Sengoku."
Lu An's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He asked, "And then?"
"As a reward, I can give you two more immortal arts." Qi's smile deepened. He said, "What do you think? Didn't you come to Sengoku to learn immortal arts? Moreover, you're quite talented to be able to learn the Dragon-catching Technique. I can guarantee that at least one of the two immortal arts I'll give you will be as good as the Dragon-catching Technique. What do you think? "
"It's very tempting." Lu An smiled when he heard that. He said softly, "But immortal arts can't be taught to outsiders. You're not the Immortal Master. How can you make the decision?"
"That's none of your business." Qi waved his hand and said calmly, "I just need you to tell me your answer. Do you agree or not?"
After saying that, Qi's eyes turned sharp. The threat was very obvious. The smile on his face gradually froze and disappeared. On the contrary, Lu An's eyes narrowed as he looked at Qi. The smile on his face grew wider.
"It seems that I'll have to disappoint you." Lu An's smile was obvious. He said, "Or, I can tell Yao about this first and see if she'll agree to give you two immortal arts as the price."
Qi frowned when he heard that.
"You don't know what's good for you!" Qi stood up abruptly and looked at Lu An with a sinister gaze. He said loudly, "Even without me, do you think you can have a positive outcome with Yao? Why don't you take a look at your cultivation? You're worse than the weakest in Sengoku. If you want to curry favor with Yao, why don't you take a look in the mirror! Do you think your performance today will make people look at you differently? That's just a fantasy! I gave you two immortal arts and told you to get lost because I pity you! "
Qi's voice grew louder and louder. In the end, he was almost shouting. He even pointed his finger at Lu An's nose, as if he would attack at any time.
However, before Qi's finger, Lu An was still sitting on the chair. The smile on his face disappeared. However, he was not angry. Instead, he looked at Qi calmly.
Then, he said softly, "I think you're more pitiful."
