Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Who else desires the position of Lord?"

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back.

His voice echoed throughout the Martial Arts Arena.

Yet, no one dared to respond, as if gripped by an icy fear.

The scene just now had been utterly shocking.

And the casualties... devastating.

In just an instant, in the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng had retracted his Divine Skills.

But the aftermath?

Among the forty-three Li family members who vied for the position of Lord,

except for Li Guang, every single one of them had perished.

All of them were dead!

They had been the most outstanding generation in the Li family.

And now?

All gone!

More than forty lives snuffed out.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to compete for the Lord's seat?

The elders of the Li family trembled uncontrollably, their faces ashen.

Of the forty-plus family disciples who died, many had ties to these elders—

complex and intertwined relationships that now lay shattered.

And yet, this wasn't even intentional on Lu Changsheng's part.

It was simply because those contenders couldn't withstand even a single moment of his power before dying.

Their spirits were far too weak!

Or perhaps, it was that Lu Changsheng's Divine Skills were overwhelmingly powerful.

So powerful that even Dao Foundation martial artists were obliterated in just a glance, their spirits annihilated.

Even Li Chengwu and the family elders had been powerless to save them.

It wasn't just Dao Foundation martial artists,

but some Divine Power Realm experts who had also fallen.

Those Divine Power martial artists who survived felt lingering fear.

After all, Lu Changsheng's Spiritual Black Hole Divine Power hadn't yet fully descended upon them,

hadn't yet fully encompassed them.

If that Spiritual Black Hole had truly descended,

it was likely that aside from a select few with rare spiritual talents or those possessing spirit-defense treasures,

the rest would not have survived.

This is Infinite Divine Power!

Power without bounds, strength immeasurable!

"Among the Divine Power Realm, there exists a rare breed—

those who walk the pinnacle of the divine arts, their combat prowess overwhelming,

invincible across all directions, commanding dominion wherever they tread.

Such individuals are known as Martial Venerables."

"Lu Changsheng has condensed Infinite Divine Power, sweeping away all opponents,

looking down upon all life. Lu Changsheng shall be hailed as Martial Venerable!"

"To think that our Heavenly Saint City has birthed a Martial Venerable! Beneath the Martial Saints, the Martial Venerables reign supreme!"

"From now on, we must address him as Lu Zun..."

Expressions among several Divine Power martial artists turned complicated.

Lu Zun!

Who would have thought that an unknown martial artist, upon achieving Divine Power, could claim the title of Venerable in martial arts?

A Martial Saint is an entirely different realm,

set apart from all other martial artists.

Few in a lifetime even set eyes upon a single Saint.

A Martial Venerable, though—

they are nearly the pinnacle of the martial path!

In all of Heavenly Saint City, there were fewer than ten who could claim the title of "Martial Venerable"—

an astonishing rarity.

And even among those few Martial Venerables, those who condense Infinite Divine Power are exceedingly rare!

"It seems no one dares to vie for the position of Lord anymore."

"Lord Li, is it time to declare Li Guang as the successor to the Lordship?"

Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.

"Naturally, Friend Lu... no, Lu Zun!"

Li Chengwu quickly corrected himself.

His heart brimmed with excitement.

A Martial Venerable!

Who could have predicted that his son, Li Guang, would have the fortune to form a connection with a Martial Venerable?

And not just that—Li Guang had extended his support to Lu Changsheng when he was still unknown.

Such luck... it was comparable to the thirty-sixth patriarch's fortune.

Back then, the thirty-sixth patriarch had been even luckier.

In his youth, he had rescued a Divine Power martial artist.

And who could have guessed that but a few years later, that martial artist would ascend to become a Martial Saint?

With the backing of that Martial Saint, the thirty-sixth patriarch's rise had been unstoppable.

Could it be that Li Guang would achieve a similar fate to the thirty-sixth patriarch?

A beaming Li Chengwu turned to the elders, his tone calm: "Elders, what say you?"

The elders, one by one, had been thoroughly "subdued" by Lu Changsheng.

Furthermore, with Li Feng, Li Chen, and the other excellent disciples of the Li family now dead,

and with Li Guang enjoying Lu Changsheng's support...

As the heir to the Lordship, who else could possibly rival Li Guang?

"Lord, please make the announcement."

The elders spoke up.

They knew the tide had turned irreversibly.

This confrontation with the Lord had ended in complete defeat.

What's more, it was a crushing defeat!

With Lu Changsheng, this "Martial Venerable," supporting Li Guang from now on,

unless a Saint emerged, who could oppose Li Guang?

When Li Chengwu stepped down and Li Guang ascended to become the Lord,

the Lord's authority would undoubtedly expand, leaving the elders with even fewer resources and influence.

But they had no choice; the defeated had no say.

"Very well."

"As the Lord of the Li family, I hereby declare Li Guang the sole heir to the Lordship!"

Li Chengwu laughed.

From this day forward, he could openly pave the path for Li Guang.

After all, Li Guang was now the rightful heir!

Li Guang himself was overwhelmed with emotion,

still struggling to process it all.

"Me... Have I really become the heir to the Lordship?"

"Brother Lu, have I truly succeeded?"

Lu Changsheng gazed at the excited Li Guang and nodded, saying, "Yes, Brother Li, you've succeeded. You are now the heir to the Lordship, destined to be the future Lord of the Li family!"

Li Guang took a deep breath, suppressing his overwhelming emotions.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for making this possible!"

Li Guang bowed respectfully to express his gratitude toward Lu Changsheng.

He understood clearly that without Lu Changsheng's involvement,

he would not have even qualified to compete for the Lordship,

let alone achieve today's result.

Thus, under the witness of countless members of the Li family, Li Guang became the ultimate victor—

the rightful heir to the Lordship!

However, most people's eyes remained fixed on Lu Changsheng.

They all deeply understood that the emergence of a "Martial Venerable" would undoubtedly transform the entire power balance of Heavenly Saint City.
