Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Indeed, it is none other than Brother Lu!"

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, responding calmly.

"Swish."

The faces of a dozen Divine Power Martial Artists and Golden Core True Masters from the Black Light Chamber of Commerce instantly changed.

"It's him?"

"Although we've come to the Ancient Domain, news from the Holy Land has continued to flow in. Recently, Heavenly Saint City saw the emergence of a Martial Venerable who shook the heavens and the earth—challenging Sword Master Chen Peng single-handedly and slashing him with a single strike!"

"Yes, and that person founded Heavenly Sect in the Holy Land. It's Lu Changsheng! But what is Lu Changsheng doing here in the Ancient Domain?"

"Lu Changsheng is quite mysterious. He appeared out of nowhere in Heavenly Saint City, with no prior warning. Some speculate he comes from a secluded place outside the Holy Land. Now it seems those speculations were true—Lu Changsheng must be from the Ancient Domain…"

"This is trouble. To slash a Sword Master, and with rumors that Lu Changsheng even wields Infinite Divine Power—his presence will surely make it near impossible for us, the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, to take over the Ancient Domain."

"What should we do now?"

The members of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, it was clear, had fully recognized Lu Changsheng's identity.

Lu Changsheng of Heavenly Sect, Holy Land!

A Martial Venerable of formidable renown.

Master of Infinite Divine Power.

He had even slain Sword Master Chen Peng and ascended to the rank of Martial Venerable atop the corpse of another Martial Venerable!

That was a real, undeniable achievement!

Though Ouyang You and the others spoke in hushed tones, the ancestors and Golden Core True Masters of the Haoxian Sect were Divine Power Ancestors.

They naturally overheard everything.

The more they heard, the more stunned they became.

"What did they say? Lu Changsheng is a Martial Venerable of Holy Land's Heavenly Sect? The kind of Martial Venerable we're thinking of?"

"Dominating a region, second only to a Martial Saint—that's what it takes to be called a Martial Venerable! Yet Lu Changsheng is far more than just a Martial Venerable. He killed a Sword Master and ascended the ranks using the Sword Master's corpse! Is this… can this be true?"

"It's hard to imagine that the Ancient Domain could produce someone of such caliber. And to have possibly even mastered Infinite Divine Power? Why hasn't the Ancient Domain's Heavenly Sect leaked the slightest hint of this?"

For a moment, countless Divine Power Martial Artists and Golden Core True Masters in the Ancient Domain turned their gaze toward Lu Changsheng and the Divine Power Ancestor, Elder Lu Tong, of Heavenly Sect.

Those who were familiar with Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain discreetly began their inquiries.

The Divine Power Ancestors of Heavenly Sect gave ambiguous answers.

But they did not deny it.

Their lack of denial all but confirmed the truth.

A wave of shock rippled through the crowd. Before people could recover from the astonishing revelation, Lu Changsheng spoke: "Sword Master Zhou Lie! It matters not how the Black Light Chamber of Commerce arrived in the Ancient Domain, nor how you discovered it."

"But the Ancient Domain is my homeland, and no external forces are permitted to set foot here."

"Therefore, Brother Lu gives the Black Light Chamber of Commerce two choices. Leave the Ancient Domain willingly—or perish!"

Lu Changsheng's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

On the Ancient Domain's side, many felt invigorated by this strong, unyielding stance.

But on the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's side, fury erupted among its members.

When had they ever been threatened like this?

After all, they were a force backed by a Martial Saint!

"Lu Changsheng, do you have any idea what you're doing?"

"Indeed. So what if you're a Martial Venerable? The Black Light Chamber of Commerce is backed by a Martial Saint. Anger him, and the Ancient Domain will be razed in an instant."

"Furthermore, even as a Martial Venerable, do you think you're stronger than the Sword Master?"

Ouyang You remained silent.

But his gaze never left Lu Changsheng.

"Martial Saint?"

Lu Changsheng said nothing.

Not even the ten Supreme Elders of Heavenly Sect in Holy Land said anything.

What absurdity was this?

Could a Martial Saint truly intimidate Lu Changsheng?

Absolutely impossible.

The Black Light Chamber of Commerce belonged to Tianliang City.

While Heavenly Sect of the Holy Land hailed from Heavenly Saint City.

What's more, Lu Changsheng was far from "just" a Martial Venerable.

Lu Changsheng maintained a close relationship with the Li Family.

And the Li Family also possessed a Martial Saint!

Threatening Lu Changsheng with a Martial Saint was no more than a joke.

"Whoosh."

Ouyang You stepped forward, standing by Sword Master Zhou Lie's side.

"Zhou Lie, if we join forces, can we slay this man?"

Ouyang You asked sternly.

"Slay him?"

Zhou Lie squinted slightly.

Ouyang You possessed Great Divine Power, and was just half a step away from Martial Venerable level.

Adding Zhou Lie—the unwavering Sword Master, who deemed himself equal to any Sword Master—

The two joining forces—what could stand against them beneath the level of Martial Saint?

Backing down from Lu Changsheng's words?

Unthinkable.

"Take action."

"Go all out—don't give Lu Changsheng an inch of breathing room!"

Finally, Zhou Lie transmitted his intent.

"Clang."

The next moment, Zhou Lie moved.

Without warning.

In a flash, his blade struck.

One slash.

This strike seemed even more fearsome than the power he displayed slicing through the Mountain Protection Array at Haoxian Sect's gates.

The crowd, merely standing somewhat close, could already sense the terrifying sharpness radiating from the blow.

It seemed as though even a trace of its sharpness was enough to end their lives.

Such was the Sword Master!

Such was the Sword Dao Great Divine Power!

Its power was far greater than anyone had imagined.

Without the Mountain Protection Array, even with so many Divine Power Martial Artists and Golden Core True Masters present—this strike would leave them utterly doomed!

"Boom."

At the same time, Ouyang You also made his move.

Great Divine Power roared forth, surging toward Lu Changsheng.

"Despicable!"

"Two people assaulting Lu Changsheng—ganging up on him."

"Everyone move in—at least keep Ouyang You occupied!"

Seeing Ouyang You join the fray, the Sect Master of Haoxian Sect acted almost instantly.

Other Divine Power Ancestors and Golden Core True Masters didn't hesitate either.
