Boom …
Pebbles flew everywhere, and soon, everything returned to normal. Lu An pressed down on Liu Lan's gauntlet with one hand and looked down at Liu Lan, who was embedded in the ground.
It was over.
Lu An let go of his hand, got up, and looked at Liu Lan on the ground.
Liu Lan was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. Even though Lu An did not press down on her gauntlet, she still maintained her previous posture and did not move.
The entire arena was silent. Everyone could see that Lu An did not use his true strength, nor did he use any heavy blows. Liu Lan was not injured on the ground, but Lu An used his actions to tell her that she had lost.
Liu Lan gasped for breath, and when her breathing became softer and softer, she said softly, "I admit defeat."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and the emcee, who had just walked over, heard it. He quickly announced, "Liu Lan admits defeat. The winner is Lu An!"
Unfortunately, there were no cheers after the announcement. Everyone looked at the ring quietly like before, not saying a word.
On the arena, Lu An bent down, grabbed Liu Lan's gauntlet, and pulled her up from the ground. Liu Lan's clothes were covered in dust. However, she did not slap it away. Instead, she looked at Lu An quietly.
Lu An saw that Liu Lan was looking at him with a slightly flustered expression. He smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
With that, Lu An turned to leave.
"Wait," Liu Lan suddenly said.
Lu An stopped and looked back at Liu Lan. He asked in confusion, "Miss Liu, is there anything else?"
Liu Lan bit her lower lip and looked at Lu An. She said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tell Chen Shuangdao to bring you to the Blood Symbol Union in two hours. My father wants to see the two of you."
Lu An was stunned. Although he did not know what was going on, he still nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu An walked down the arena, and Liu Lan left as well. At this point, the Level 3 Celestial Master Group of the Black Wolf Meet was completely over. Everyone's expression was one of shock. Before this, no one had thought that things would turn out like this.
Although Lu An's reputation in Black Wolf City was not small recently, that was all. Compared to Shi Jie, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. However, after today, Black Wolf City would no longer have the Three New Heroes.
There was only one expert in the new generation, and that was Lu An of the Mountain and Mountain Alliance. Most likely, the Mountain and Mountain Alliance was going to rise to prominence this time.
After the Level Three Heavenly Master Group ended, many people left the arena. Many alliances started to pay attention to Lu An and sent people to find out more about Lu An. The people from the Mountain River Alliance didn't stay for long and quickly left.
Two hours later, in the meeting hall of the Blood Symbol Alliance.
There were five people in the hall: Fang Zhangwen, Chen Shuangdao, Lu An, Liu Lan, and the leader of the Blood Symbol Alliance, Level 5 Heavenly Master, Liu Zhengtang.
Liu Zhengtang was an expert who had been famous in Black Wolf City for a long time. His strength was on par with the alliance masters of the other two major alliances. They were both at the pinnacle of Level 5. Although Chen Shuangdao was also an alliance master, he had to be respectful in front of Liu Zhengtang. After all, the difference in strength between the two was too great.
Chen Shuangdao thought for a moment before looking at Liu Zhengtang and taking the initiative to speak. He smiled and said, "I wonder why Alliance Master Liu has asked me to come?"
Liu Zhengtang glanced at his daughter, Liu Lan, before turning to Chen Shuangdao and saying, "It's nothing. I want someone from you."
Chen Shuangdao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to react and asked, "Who?"
"Him." Liu Zhengtang turned to look at Lu An.
Chen Shuangdao and Lu An were stunned when they heard this. Chen Shuangdao looked at Liu Zhengtang in shock, while Lu An frowned slightly. He didn't say anything.
"Alliance Master Liu, you must be joking …" Chen Shuangdao quickly said with a smile. "Or did I hear wrong …"
"I never joke," Liu Zhengtang looked at Chen Shuangdao and said in a low voice, "The person I want is Lu An."
"But … this …" Chen Shuangdao revealed a bitter expression as he said, "Lu An is extremely important to our Mountain Water Alliance. Even if you are Alliance Master Liu, there is no reason for you to want someone like this …"
Liu Zhengtang frowned when he heard this, a look of dissatisfaction appearing in his eyes.
To the side, Fang Zhangwen had been in frequent contact with Chen Shuangdao recently and had a good relationship with him. He hurriedly said, "Shuangdao, actually, we let Lu An join the Blood Symbol Alliance for his own good."
Chen Shuangdao looked at Fang Zhangwen and was stunned. He couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Brother Fang, you must be joking. The Blood Symbol Alliance is a large alliance, but can't our Mountain Water Alliance nurture him with all our might?"
"This isn't a matter of nurturing, but of safety!" Fang Zhangwen knew that Chen Shuangdao had misunderstood him. He hurriedly explained, "Lu An is still weak and doesn't have the ability to protect himself. If he was in the Mountain Water Alliance, would the other alliances allow such a threat to grow? They would definitely send people to assassinate him. When that time comes, would the Mountain Water Alliance be able to stop them? "
Chen Shuangdao was stunned when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly and revealed a difficult expression.
He was only a late-stage Rank 4. How would he be able to protect Lu An?
"Even if we nurture him, how can the Mountain Water Alliance compare to the Blood Symbol Alliance?" Liu Zhengtang looked at Chen Shuangdao and said solemnly, "Our Blood Symbol Alliance can nurture such a genius with the best conditions. If he were to stay in your Mountain Water Alliance, he would probably have to go out hunting, right?"
"…" Chen Shuangdao's expression turned ugly, but he didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you after taking your man." Liu Zhengtang looked at Chen Shuangdao and said solemnly, "Previously, the Blood Symbol Alliance and the Mountain Water Alliance only had a cooperative relationship. Now, we can form an alliance. I will send people to support your alliance and guarantee that you will gain more than you lose."
Chen Shuangdao lowered his head and clenched his fists even tighter. He was struggling in his heart. At this moment, Lu An opened his mouth.
"Alliance Heads, there's actually something that this junior hasn't said." Lu An looked at Liu Zhengtang and said softly, "After I become a Rank 4 Heavenly Master, I will leave Black Wolf City. Everyone, you don't have to put in so much effort for me. I won't bring you any benefits. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhengtang and Chen Shuangdao were stunned. They both turned to look at Lu An. Liu Zhengtang frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely." Lu An nodded and said seriously, "This junior is only here to gain experience and not to stay for long."
Hearing this, Liu Zhengtang and the other two Alliance Heads fell into deep thought. Only Liu Lan looked at Lu An quietly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She looked at Lu An with flickering eyes and said softly, "You said that you are here to gain experience. This means that you have a home, a place that you want to return to."
Hearing Liu Lan's words, everyone was stunned. However, they all looked at Lu An. This was because Lu An had never mentioned this before. He had only said that he did not have a home to travel to.
Hearing Liu Lan's question, Lu An thought for a moment and said softly, "My friends all live in the same place, but it is not considered my home. Right now, I only want to increase my strength and do what I want to do. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhengtang fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If that's the case, the Blood Symbol Alliance does not need to get involved in this mess. You killed Liu Shaoyuan, so the Blood Symbol Alliance will not let you go. At that time, the Mountain River Alliance might suffer. "
Hearing this, Lu An frowned and said, "I killed someone at the Black Wolf Conference. Can they still pursue this matter?"
"You underestimate the Blood Symbol Alliance's temper." Liu Zhengtang shook his head and said, "Those people are used to being arrogant. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. With such a mindset, I'm afraid that they will soon find trouble with you."
"If that's the case, then I will withdraw from the Mountain River Alliance." Without any hesitation, Lu An said, "This way, they will have no reason to find trouble with the Mountain River Alliance."
"But if you leave the Mountain River Alliance, who can protect you? Won't you be in even more danger?" Fang Zhangwen hurriedly said.
"I can protect myself," Lu An said. "At most, I can leave Black Wolf City."
"That won't be necessary." Just as the others were about to say something, Liu Zhengtang suddenly spoke. He looked at Lu An and said in a deep voice, "My Blood Symbol Alliance can still protect you and the Mountain River Alliance, as long as you agree to do something for me."
Hearing this, Lu An was stunned and frowned slightly. Liu Zhengtang was a Level 5 Heavenly Master, while he was only a Level 3 Heavenly Master. He could not think of anything that would require his help.
However, Lu An did not directly refuse. Instead, he said, "Senior, please speak."
Hearing this, Liu Zhengtang smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you to help me obtain the Ten Thousand Mountain Fruit."
