Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Actually, I only froze for a fraction of a second before recovering.

After all, his own strength might be that of a Grand Luo Immortal. However, Li Xiuyuan was still eager to see what tricks the other party could pull, so he stood motionless in place, without making a single move.

Even the greatest amount of energy, upon contact with his body, is swallowed up like a black hole, leaving him completely unharmed.

As the saying goes, even a small pebble falling into the water can at least create ripples, but now you can't even see a splash!

"Is this all the power you have? Are you done?" Li Xiuyuan said to Tien Shinhan.

He hates these kinds of idiots who use underhanded tricks. If you had the ability, that would be one thing, but in my eyes you're not even as good as a fly, yet you still dream of miracles. Now let me teach you how to be a decent human being!

Just now, Li Xiuyuan felt a sense of mental oppression, which must have come from the little guy named Gyoza next to Tien Shinhan! Luckily it was him; if it had been someone else, he would have suffered a great loss.

So after wasting a little effort to break free, he said to the host, "Um, host! Can I make a request?"

Li Xiuyuan asked politely.

"Does contestant Li have any requirements?" The host looked completely bewildered.

After all, this situation has never occurred at a conference before!

However, seeing Li Xiuyuan's unusually good attitude, and having witnessed his terrifying strength, he realized that if he displeased Li Xiuyuan, a single slap would send him to report to the King of Hell!

However, Li Xiuyuan wasn't that kind of person. His principle was always: if someone treated him with respect, he would reciprocate with even greater respect! But if someone showed him utter disrespect, he would make that person wish they were dead!

However, considering that this was a competition, the host added a condition to ensure fairness: to ask Tien Shinhan's opinion. After all, even if he was afraid of Tien Shinhan, he still had to abide by the rules of the tournament, otherwise his career would be over.

This was also within Li Xiuyuan's consideration, so he didn't think much of it and said to Tien Shinhan, "Hey! I want to make a request. I don't care if you guys, that crane master or whatever, why don't the three of you come at me together? It'll save me the trouble of looking for you one by one." What do you think? He finished speaking with that same nonchalant attitude.

This was an utter humiliation for the three of them! When had they ever been mocked like this? The mighty Crane Master was someone who ranked highly in this world. However, that only applied to this world. So, of course, they couldn't back down.

"You said it yourself!" Tien Shinhan said, afraid that the other party would go back on their word.

"I said it, hurry up, I still want to eat!" Li Xiuyuan said impatiently.

It's still that same phrase, "I want to eat!" It's like they're not even treating people like human beings!

However, the three of them chuckled to themselves, because they knew very well that Tien Shinhan alone was no match for Li Xiuyuan. So after hearing this suggestion, they felt as if they had seized an opportunity to combine their strength and teach this kid a lesson.

With Chiaotzu's mental suppression, Tien Shinhan's close-quarters combat, and Master Shen's command, this lineup is quite formidable.

As they spoke, three comical figures dressed in crane-themed robes appeared, confidently and solemnly awaiting their arrival. They were determined to teach Li Xiuyuan a lesson and show him the power of the Crane Immortal Sect.

It is said that a duel between masters is often decided in an instant, so...

Li Xiuyuan decides to KO his opponent in less than a second! I wonder if this will surprise everyone so much that they won't be able to find their way home, setting an unprecedented record, and even making Lan Qi throw herself into his arms?

Enough talk, let's get started!

Li Xiuyuan didn't use any martial arts techniques, treasures, or spells; he just threw a simple hook punch.

The fist in the three people's glasses grew larger and larger until it was clear, but the legs seemed to be firmly fixed in place, unable to move an inch! Their own hands could resist, but they were still of no use.

The three of them flew into the air one by one, according to their height, like cannonballs, and then fell down.

Just as they were about to hit the ground, Li Xiuyuan, who had been waiting there for a long time, actually only had to knock the three people into the air and wait for them to fall. But for Li Xiuyuan, it took a long time, 0.5 seconds!

In that instant, Li Xiuyuan stopped using his fists and started using his feet. He assumed a volleying stance and delivered a kick.

"Bang!" The three of them landed on top of each other, as if they were embracing, inseparable. They flew straight along a horizontal plane, completely ignoring gravity, in a straight line, until after a very long time, when they finally began to fall. However, by then, the people at the martial arts tournament had long since lost sight of them...

Chapter 684 Li Xiuyuan and Lan Qi

The entire audience was stunned. If the previous matches could be described as exciting!

Therefore, this duel could only be fought beyond their comprehension. Because Li Xiuyuan's entire sequence of movements took less than a second!

In less than the blink of an eye, everyone could only see the three figures disappear into the horizon.

"How could all of that just happen? It's unbelievable!" the host continued, his expression still one of disbelief.

"Then I declare! Contestant Li has won!" The voice from the microphone resonated in the ears of hundreds of thousands of viewers.

From complete silence to cheers, and then to jubilation!

"Li Xiuyuan!" someone shouted.

"Li Xiuyuan!" another person called out.

"Li Xiuyuan!" Then, just like the cube of two, the entire arena instantly erupted in chants of Li Xiuyuan's name.

"Was I cool just now?" Li Xiuyuan, who had finished the match effortlessly, smugly approached Lanqi and Bulma and asked.

Neither of them dared to answer.

Li Xiuyuan pressed on, "Is he handsome or not? You two, give me an answer!" After all, the main reason for participating in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament was to show off. If they couldn't win over Lan Qi, it would be a huge loss.

Thinking of Lan Qi, who combined savagery and gentleness, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but fantasize about those lewd things!

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's incredibly lewd old man expression again, the two knew what he was thinking, so they lowered their heads in embarrassment and remained silent.

At this moment, Lan Qi was in a great mood. Li Xiuyuan not only helped her get revenge, but also made that annoying person disappear from her sight in less than a second. His low-key personality and high-profile actions were exactly the type of person she liked. Therefore, she was completely captivated by Li Xiuyuan's charm.

Back at the hotel, everyone was once again treated to a lavish dinner by Bulma.

Everyone was amazed and impressed by Li Xiuyuan's strength, regardless of gender. Wukong, in particular, felt deep respect for Li Xiuyuan, who had helped him cultivate; this was the first time Wukong had ever admired such a powerful deity!

At the dinner table, everyone's attention and conversation revolved around Li Xiuyuan. Bulma, in particular, was especially radiant; since everyone knew she was Li Xiuyuan's woman, her pride as a woman was on full display.

Which woman doesn't want her man to be incredibly powerful, someone she can rely on, someone who will also earn her respect and admiration from other women?

After dinner, it was time for everyone to return to their rooms.

Every time this time comes, Lanqi's expression involuntarily darkens.

Because she knew in her heart that at this time every year, her beloved man would be in a room with Bulma, and she would fantasize about what they were doing, which would keep her awake all night long!

But today, things are different.

Today was the day Li Xiuyuan had been eagerly anticipating: to display his powerful charm to Lan Qi, which would allow him to make her his woman and submit to him. This genuine submission would give him unparalleled pleasure.

So after dinner, he told Bulma that he had something to do that night and asked her to go home first.

Bulma wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what this man was going to do. After spending the past few months together, everyone knew exactly what was going on.

So, even though she was unhappy, she was still sensible! After all, someone like Li Xiuyuan wasn't someone a woman like her could possess alone. Perhaps in other people's eyes, she was the high and mighty founder of the world's capsule invention company!

But in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, she was merely one of the women he loved. Fame, fortune, and status were utterly insignificant to him; not worthless, but practically dispensable. Therefore, Bulma was content to be just one of his women. She was even more grateful that he told her this instead of hiding it from her, which would have hurt her even more.

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan arrived at Lan Qi's door.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" Li Xiuyuan rang the doorbell three times in a row. He was extremely excited. This thing that he had wanted for so long but had never had was finally within his grasp! It would be a lie to say that he wasn't excited or happy. Although he was a Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal, he had also grown up from a plain person, and he also had his own likes and pursuits.

However, Li Xiuyuan wasn't a pushover; he didn't like everyone he met. Li Xiuyuan preferred women who were sensible, gentle when appropriate, beautiful (of course), and who he felt a connection with. He believed that spiritual needs always outweighed physical needs. Therefore, for Bulma, his affection required Bulma's consent. And for Launch, his affection required Launch's complete acceptance.

Today, he felt the time was right. He felt he could finally win over Lanqi.

Lanqi, who was sitting in her room lost in thought, was startled by the sudden doorbell.

After these past few days, she has gotten used to returning to her room alone after meals, sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, thinking about the man she likes!

"Who is it?!" Lan Qi asked.

There was no sound outside the door.

Lanqi asked again, "Who's outside? What do you want?"

There was still no sound from outside the door.

The third time, Lan Qi said directly, "If you don't say anything, I'm going to sleep. If there's nothing else, go back."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan became anxious. He couldn't go back like this tonight. If he did, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

So he stopped pretending to be mysterious and replied, "It's me, Li Xiuyuan!"

That familiar voice... "The Li Xiuyuan I've been longing for is actually standing right at my door. What should I do?" Lan Qi asked herself in surprise.

"What should I do...?" Lanqi asked herself again.

Chapter 685 Achieving Success

"Won't you open the door and invite me in for a seat?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a gentle voice.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan put on a gentlemanly demeanor, thinking he could win her favor.

"Yes, is there something you need?" Lan Qi could no longer contain her excitement, but right now she didn't want to, no! She didn't dare to see Li Xiuyuan, because she didn't know what would happen if she saw him.

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Li Xiuyuan asked again. He thought Lan Qi would open the door immediately after hearing his voice, but she didn't.

"Um, I'm going to sleep. If there's nothing else, let's talk about it tomorrow," Lan Qi said, politely declining.

"Don't you think we should talk about some things?" Li Xiuyuan abandoned his feigned gentlemanly demeanor but still asked politely. He knew why Lan Qi was so hesitant and reluctant to speak to him.

That means she knows she already has Bulma, which is why she's been resisting. Otherwise, she would have given in long ago.

Seeing that there was no movement inside the room, Li Xiuyuan said, "If you don't open the door, I'm coming in. You know I have a lot of ways to do things." This time, Li Xiuyuan said domineeringly.

He knew that if he didn't take the initiative and be assertive, Lan Qi, with her black hair, would be extremely shy and hesitant. Therefore, he needed to proactively solidify their relationship. After all, Li Xiuyuan knew that Lan Qi not only liked him, but had fallen in love with him. Every action and every word she uttered made this young man from the 21st century, who had read countless love stories and romance novels, realize that if he still didn't understand the feelings in a girl's heart, then he, Li Xiuyuan, had lived in vain. Besides his cultivation goals, he also had a grand ideal: to conquer all the women he loved.

It's said that every woman around Li Xiuyuan is a beauty, a top-tier woman; any one of them could make any ordinary guy incredibly envious. However, these women all know they aren't Li Xiuyuan's only one—that's their common trait! A clear understanding!

Finally, under Li Xiuyuan's domineering pressure, Lan Qi chose to open the door.

Li Xiuyuan saw that delicate little face, those adorable white rabbits on her chest, and those proud legs. Her tall, graceful figure and lotus-like demeanor almost made Li Xiuyuan weak and unable to walk.

Lanqi still asked, "Is there something you need?" Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"Let me in first, okay?" Li Xiuyuan deliberately added the word "okay," ostensibly to solicit Lan Qi's opinion, but actually to make Lan Qi relax because of those two words.
