Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

In the early morning, thick fog from the distant sea was blowing towards Lu Ren and his team.

The rooster had clearly crowed a long time ago, but there was no sign of the sun rising in the sky.

Fishermen who often make a living by the sea know that today is not a good day for fishing, and a storm may come soon.

Lu Ren, standing on the shore, was circulating the Honkai energy in his body with a calm expression.

"So this is what Taixu sword energy is like." Lu Ren muttered to himself after he finished circulating the Honkai energy.

In fact, Lu Ren didn't fall asleep the whole night. Maybe for some reason, Lu Ren had basically no need for sleep.

"I need a history class from Mr. Walter." Lu Ren said jokingly.

Lu Ren returned to the house. The owner of the house was a widower. When he saw Lu Ren coming in, he trembled and was about to kneel down.

"You get up first, there's no need to do this." Lu Ren helped the old man up.

"Immortal, I, an old man, also know who is good and who is bad. You helped us kill the monsters, and you deserve our respect." said the white-haired old man in front of him.

Lu Ren didn't say anything. He walked to Ma Yanqing's room. The white-haired old man looked at Lu Ren's back and kowtowed several times.

"Uh, no, no!" Lu Ren walked to Ma Yanqing. He saw Ma Yanqing's arms waving constantly, and he looked like he had a nightmare.

Lu Renshu picked up the quilt that Ma Yanqing had kicked to the ground and brushed off the dust.

Afterwards, he covered Ma Yanqing with the quilt. After covering him with the quilt, Ma Yanqing became visibly quieter, and his hands and feet stopped moving.

"Why do I feel like I'm taking care of a child?" Lu Ren shook off the strange feeling in his heart, stood up and left Ma Yanqing's room.

After Lu Ren left, Ma Yanqing suddenly opened his eyes. In fact, he woke up when Lu Ren covered him with a quilt just now.

"Master?" Ma Yanqing looked at the quilt on his body, "I didn't expect that Master also has a side that is unknown to others."

"Master, when are we going to set off?" As soon as Lu Ren went out, he saw Qin Suyi with an excited look on her face.

"That's just waiting until the fog clears." Lu Ren answered every question.

"Ah, when will this fog clear? I want to set off quickly."

"No, why are you so excited? What's the good of looking at the unchanging sea view?" Lu Ren complained.

"Master, can we go to the town and take a look?" Qin Suyi asked.

Lu Ren's expression became serious, which reminded Qin Suyi of her master's character. She couldn't help but regret her own excessive greed.

"It's good enough that Master can bring us out. If I ask for anything else, I must have made Master unhappy." Qin Suyi felt cold in her heart.

"Su Yi, you should..."

"I understand, Master. I shouldn't..." Qin Suyi replied immediately.

Lu Ren nodded. "That's good to know. It doesn't make sense to leave without having breakfast."

"Ah... So this is what you are talking about, Master?"

Lu Ren looked at Qin Suyi, who had a puzzled look on her face, and asked in confusion: "Why, shouldn't we have breakfast first?"

"He's very different from Master's usual self, but I still like this kind of Master." Qin Suyi said in a low voice.

Qin Suyi returned to the house and woke up Ma Yanqing who was still lying in bed. After a simple breakfast, they set off.

The nearest town was called Pingyue Town, and it took them more than ten minutes to reach the town.

Entering the prosperous Pingyue Town, Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyi were dazzled by the sight, but soon the arena on the side of the road attracted their attention.

"Make friends through martial arts and make friends with heroes?" Ma Yanqing read out the words on the sign next to the arena.

"Yes, my friend, you might as well give it a try. On the one hand, you can learn from each other in martial arts, and on the other hand, you can make friends. It's a win-win situation with no harm. Isn't it wonderful?" An old man in a white robe who looked like an immortal walked up to Ma Yanqing and said.

"If you can't find someone to spar with, I'd like to have a sparring match with you."

Lu Ren saw through this man's abilities at a glance. He only knew how to use Honkai energy crudely, so Ma Yanqing could easily defeat him.

"That's great." Ma Yanqing was a young and fearless man. He wanted to show his strength in front of his master so as to receive his master's praise.

"If you fight with me alone, it would not be fair even if I win. It would be better to add the girl next to you." The old man stroked his beard proudly.

"Let's go together, who's afraid of you." Qin Suyi felt that the old man was just being arrogant, "Today I'll show you how powerful the back waves are."

No matter where you are, there will always be a crowd of people watching the fun, and what happened here quickly attracted a group of people to watch.

Passerby A: Is that the Red Kite Immortal?

Passerby B: Nonsense, who else in the whole of China wears this?

Passerby C: Then the two people beside the immortal are his disciples?

Passerby B: Eighty percent likely. I think Master Feng is going to fail this time.

Passerby A: That's wrong. Master Feng's unique skill, the Five-Whip Thunder, has also helped him defeat many famous figures in the martial arts world.

Passersby were chattering about the outcome of the competition, and Lu Ren almost rolled his eyes as he listened.

"As expected of Master Feng, he is even more powerful than Master Ma, and his unique skills are even more powerful." Lu Ren felt that his soul of complaining had begun to burn.

"Okay, please!" Master Feng seemed to be completely unconcerned about the interference from the outside world. He waved his hand and let Ma Yanqing and the others go up to the stage first.

"Excuse me, Master Chiyan, what do you think about the outcome of this competition?" A brave man came up to Lu Ren and asked.

"You are really brave, young man. If you were the squad leader, you would probably be so scared that you couldn't walk." Lu Ren felt that it was the aura around him that was different, because everyone knew that Lu Ren was a clown.

Lu Ren: Bah, you are the clown, don’t you want to eat fried cakes?

Ahem, he is a person who brings joy to everyone. He naturally exudes an approachable aura, and he is naturally easier for people to get close to. (Why do I feel so reluctant when writing this paragraph?)

Ah, we have strayed off topic, let’s move on.

"I think he doesn't have the ability, you know."

"Are you talking about Master Feng?"

"Who is he fighting? He's my apprentice. He is definitely no match for him and will definitely lose next time." Lu Ren said a lot of things in a rambling manner, leaving the person asking the question confused.

As cheers broke out from the crowd, the three of them officially began their competition.

Lu Ren looked towards the ring. It was two against one, so I had no advantage.

As time went by, Ma Yanqing and the other man ended the battle without even using the Twenty-Four Styles of Taixu.

Master Feng, who was knocked to the ground by Ma Yanqing, covered his black eye and said, "I was careless and didn't dodge."

"In the martial arts world, peace is the most precious thing. Do not engage in infighting. Let's end today's competition here."

Happy laughter was immediately heard from all around, and Ma Yanqing and the others also jumped off the stage.

"Master, we didn't bring shame to you." Ma Yanqing said with a fist.

"Well, you wait here and don't move. I'll go buy some for you... No, I'll be back soon." Lu Ren's mind was not on this at all.

Lu Ren quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Oh." Ma Yanqing showed a look of disappointment on his face. Qin Suyi, who was standing beside him, saw Ma Yanqing like this and patted him on the shoulder.

"Aren't you going to go see your little fanboy?"

"What little fanboy?" Ma Yanqing asked puzzledly.

"Look." Qin Suyi pointed at some children coming from a distance. They all watched the competition and envied Ma Yanqing for being so powerful.

Ma Yanqing was surrounded by a group of children, but judging from the smile on his face, he should be enjoying it.

"Suyi, come too!"

"Hey, don't pull me, I can walk by myself!"
