Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 54: Too Much Hatred (Happy New Year, Everyone)

Lu Ming sat in the courtyard of the Jin family, drinking by himself, feeling relaxed and at ease.

But at this moment, his thoughts diverged and expanded towards the outside world.

After his daily forced training, his telekinesis has become much stronger, enough to lift a person for an hour, which can be regarded as a preliminary realization of his dream of flying.

Without any obstruction, his thoughts could cover an area of ​​two hundred feet in radius. If he was in an underground secret room, it would be difficult for his thoughts to spread out even fifty feet.

The denser the object, the harder it is for his thoughts to penetrate it.

But within the range of his thoughts, he can detect, control objects, and even simply read minds.

"How should I tell Brother Lu? With his temper, he probably won't go..."

As Lu Ming's thoughts were spreading, he suddenly read a fragment of thoughts. With his normal mind reading, he usually couldn't perceive them so clearly.

But because this person's thinking was so strong, he could sense it easily.

"Jin Jiu, do you have something to talk to me about? Just tell me if you have something to say, don't dilly-dally."

Lu Ming's voice slowly spread along with his thoughts. Jin Jiu was originally wandering outside the courtyard, but he heard the voice as if it was right next to his ear, which scared him.

"Brother Lu...your strength has become even stronger, ahahaha."

Jin Jiu walked in from outside, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said somewhat embarrassedly.

His words were not entirely flattery, because when he looked at Lu Ming at this moment, he felt as if he could not see clearly. The other party was shrouded in layers of twisted curtains, and the whole person even had a weird feeling.

"It's like this. Our Tai'an City is planning to hold a Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition at the Misty Rain Tower next month to determine the top martial artist of Bingzhou's younger generation. The invitation has already been sent to our house."

"But I think with your personality, you might not be interested in this kind of thing."

Jin Jiu spoke hesitantly.

Lu Ming is a person who never does anything without gain. Even if he wins first place in the Dragon Boat Competition, he will not receive any reward and will become the target of public criticism. It is estimated that he will not participate.

"How could that be? Without my participation in this kind of thing, even if you claim to be the best in the world, it will be nothing but an empty title."

Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.

When he was full of energy, he never knew what it meant to be low-key. Others worried that if he won the first place in Bingzhou, he would be harassed every day, or that he would not be able to maintain the title of the first place.

But Lu Ming was looking forward to it. He hoped that more masters would come, preferably the kind of masters that he could not resist and would beat him up.

What a wonderful thing it would be if I could be beaten up by various masters every day.

"Brother Lu, you promised!"

Jin Jiu was very surprised. He also hoped that Lu Ming could get the first place among the young people in Bingzhou, so that he could also get some benefits.

"nonsense."

"By the way, please prepare a couplet for me and find a team to send it to the scene with music and drums."

Lu Ming laughed loudly. He not only wanted to get first place, but also wanted everyone to know that he was first.

"What couplet?"

Jin Jiu was a little curious.

"First line: In heaven and on earth, I alone am the most respected."

"Second line: From ancient times to the present, he has been invincible throughout the world."

"Horizontal banner: Unparalleled in the world."

...A dozen miles south of Tai'an City is Yanhu Lake. Yanhu Lake is not very big, only a thousand acres in area.

But the scenery is beautiful. Every summer, the lotus flowers bloom endlessly, stretching to the horizon. It is a great place to travel and enjoy the scenery.

In the middle of Yanhu Lake, there is a Yanyu Tower covering an area of ​​several acres. After hundreds of years and repeated renovations, it has now become one of the local attractions.

To celebrate the summer solstice every year, Tai'an City holds a Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Thousands of boats race on Yan Lake, and the lakeshore is crowded with people, creating a spectacular scene. It is the city's grandest event of the year.

This year, Tai'an Prefecture organized a dragon boat martial arts competition, which is like adding fuel to the fire, making this year's Dragon Boat Festival highly anticipated.

"This, this, this..."

"Who wrote this?"

There was still half a month to go before the Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition, but the sudden change of the couplets on the Misty Rain Tower completely set off the entire Tai'an Prefecture and was still spreading outward.

"I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth; throughout history, I have been unrivaled."

Some busybodies spread the content of the couplet, making countless warriors unable to sit still.

This couplet is too arrogant. Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Since ancient times, no matter which era, few people dared to be so arrogant and claim to be the best.

Because warriors are belligerent, if you take this name, you will immediately become a target. In the future, there will be people coming to challenge you, hoping to defeat you.

It is difficult to win the first place, and it is even more difficult to maintain the first place.

Originally, the Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition was only spread among some warriors, and many people scoffed at it. They did not like socializing and were only focused on practicing martial arts, and had no interest in showing their strength.

But when this couplet came out, even many geniuses in the Temple of Martial Arts could not hold back.

They may not be interested in the title of No. 1, but they also want to see what kind of lunatic is daring to raise such a banner.

"Brother Lu, aren't we being too hateful by making such a big fuss?"

On the embankment of Yanhu Lake, Jin Jiu shrank his head, fearing that someone would suddenly jump out and hit them with a club.

"It's okay. The couplet has been sent to Yanyu Tower. Whoever wins first place will get it. If someone really defeats me, he will naturally be the one to avenge us. If no one can defeat me, then we have nothing to fear."

Lu Ming was playing with two iron balls in one hand and waving the iron fan he had seized from the Huitian Sect youth last time with the other.

He seemed to be leisurely and carefree, as if he were a young master from a wealthy family on a trip.

Jin Jiu nodded, feeling that what Lu Ming said seemed to make sense.

"What's going on? I asked you to find a boat, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

The two chatted for a while, but found that the ship had not arrived yet.

"Young Master, we've asked around. During the Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition, no ordinary boats are allowed to enter Yan Lake except for the competing dragon boats. They say this is to test the abilities of the young masters. If you can't even reach Misty Rain Tower, you're not worthy of participating in this competition."

"what……"

Jin Jiu was stunned. The Yanyu Tower was in the middle of the lake, and he wanted to watch the competition between masters from the closest position. Did he have to stay on the shore?

"Interesting, really interesting."

Lu Ming waved his fan. He also agreed with the organizer's idea. If everyone came to participate in the competition, how long would it take?

"One thousand taels of silver, and I'll take you to experience the VIP seats."

Lu Ming looked at Jin Jiu and spoke with a smile.

Although Jin Jiu didn't understand what VIP was, he guessed the general meaning and naturally agreed.
