The news that Jiang Jihai wanted to have a martial arts match with Jiang Yuchuan quickly spread throughout the entire Lu family.

Out of consideration for both sides, Lu Songlin did not allow the stewards and servants of his mansion to come and watch. Therefore, only Lu Xuan, his son Lu Songlin, Lu Changfeng and his wife, and Qi Changqing were able to enter the martial arts arena to watch the competition.

Although Kong Yun was pregnant, she was still a woman of the martial arts world and her skills were not weak, which is why she insisted on coming along to take a look.

The training ground of the Lu family mansion was quite spacious and open. In addition to rows of neatly arranged weapons on both sides, there were also many seats for people to rest and watch the battle.

Lu Xuan and the others then sat down there.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan and Jiang Jihai were standing in the center of the training ground, neither of them using any weapons.

Before the two even made a move, Jiang Jihai, for some reason, looked at Jiang Yuchuan standing opposite him and felt a strange sense of tension welling up inside him.

This situation hasn't occurred for a long time.

This made him very excited.

The other people watching the game also felt a mix of tension and excitement.

Apart from Qi Changqing and Lu Jingchen, the other four members of the Lu family had never seen these two make a move, so their knowledge of their strength was limited to hearsay and estimation.

Especially Jiang Yuchuan.

Lu Xuan could use this sparring match to verify his suspicions and see if Jiang Yuchuan was indeed a Grandmaster.

The weather was bright and sunny.

Seeing that Jiang Yuchuan hadn't made a move, Jiang Jihai knew that the other party wanted him to make the first move, so he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Yuchuan and said heartily:

"Brother Mikawa—please enlighten me!"

Having said that, he pushed off the ground with his feet, and his figure moved as gracefully as a dancing white crane, arriving in front of Jiang Yuchuan in a few swift movements.

The speed and the graceful movements drew cheers from the spectators.

Upon approaching Jiang Yuchuan, Jiang Jihai immediately channeled his inner strength, using his palm as a sword to launch an attack.

Although the two had never fought before, Jiang Jihai could sense that Jiang Yuchuan's strength was definitely no weaker than his own, so he did not hold back when he made his move.

With each palm strike Jiang Jihai unleashed, the overflowing white true energy would scatter and dance in all directions like falling apricot petals. Combined with his elegant and graceful movements, it was simply breathtaking.

Anyone with eyes can see that the martial art Jiang Jihai is using is a very exquisite sword technique. If he were to use a sword, its power would be several times greater than it is now!

Faced with Jiang Jihai's exquisite and fierce moves, Jiang Yuchuan remained calm and composed, turning around and responding with ease.

He used only the most ordinary and basic moves.

These seemingly ordinary and powerless basic moves became incredibly agile and unpredictable in Jiang Yuchuan's hands, easily neutralizing all of Jiang Jihai's fierce and continuous attacks.

Lu Xuan, who was watching Jiang Yuchuan's movements closely, almost popped his eyes out when he saw this scene.

The path of martial arts, though different, leads to the same goal.

To possess such a method of returning to simplicity and turning decay into magic, one must undoubtedly be a Grandmaster-level expert!

Although Lu Xuan had expected it, he still couldn't remain calm after seeing it with his own eyes.

The others didn't have Lu Xuan's insight, so they were merely shocked and amazed by Jiang Yuchuan's seemingly lifelike and agile moves.

After all, Lu Songlin, the oldest among them, was only in his forties and had never seen a grandmaster make a move. His understanding of grandmasters came mainly from books and legends.

Therefore, unless Jiang Yuchuan displayed strength far exceeding that of a top-tier expert, it would be difficult for them to think of anything else.

Jiang Jihai, as the opponent, was even more shocked than the onlookers at this moment.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan gave him the feeling of facing his master—unfathomable and invincible.

This feeling is completely illogical!

He couldn't believe that Jiang Yuchuan, who looked to be about the same age as him, would have such profound cultivation.

Jiang Jihai immediately changed his palm into a finger and pointed it at Jiang Yuchuan from mid-air.

Upon seeing those familiar jade-green fingers reappear, Qi Changqing immediately straightened his back.

Jiang Jihai used this move again, and its power was significantly greater than the last time. So much so that the spectators could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from those jade-like fingers.

Seeing the power of Jiang Jihai's sudden finger strike, Lu Xuan was both shocked and puzzled.

As a master whose strength had already reached the pinnacle of the first-class level, he even felt a threat from this finger!

Logically speaking, with Jiang Jihai's initial first-level skill, even if he unleashed the most brilliant martial arts moves, he shouldn't be able to threaten him.

After all, Jiang Jihai's age is a factor. Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he would only have accumulated about twenty years of skill, which is almost four times less than Jiang Jihai's.

Such a large gap cannot be bridged by techniques alone. Therefore, this sense of threat is quite illogical.

This young man named Jiang Jihai is very strange!

As for Jiang Yuchuan, who was facing this finger directly, his expression was no longer calm as usual, and his brows furrowed slightly.

What he cared about was not the power of the finger strike, but the abnormal situation that occurred in Jiang Jihai's body when he used it.

Just as Lu Xuan had thought, the power of this finger strike far exceeded Jiang Jihai's own strength.

Therefore, when Jiang Jihai used this finger technique, Jiang Yuchuan clearly felt an extra burst of extremely powerful internal force erupting from his dantian.

This internal force is completely different from the internal force Jiang Jihai originally used; it is much stronger and more violent!

As this internal force surged and crashed, Jiang Jihai's meridians were inevitably damaged.

It's not like they're risking their lives; such a self-destructive fighting style is something Jiang Yuchuan doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan flicked his sleeve, directly dispersing Jiang Jihai's explosive finger force and ending the sparring session.

"Okay, that's it!"

Looking at Jiang Jihai, who was standing there stunned and whose face was somewhat pale, Jiang Yuchuan said coldly, "Is this what you call a friendly spar?" Without waiting for a reply, he turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Qi Changqing immediately got up and jogged forward to follow Jiang Yuchuan as they left the training ground.

Watching Jiang Yuchuan's departing figure and recalling his words just now, Jiang Jihai smiled bitterly.

He knew that Jiang Yuchuan had discovered his physical abnormality, and after calming down, he also felt somewhat regretful about his behavior just now.

If he hadn't acted rashly in a moment of desperation, he wouldn't have chosen to use that internal energy.

"Brother Hai, are you alright? Just now—weren't you a little too impulsive?"

Lu Jingchen walked to Jiang Jihai's side with a worried expression.

He was aware of the abnormality in Jiang Jihai's body, which is why he let the elders leave first while he stayed behind.

Jiang Jihai sighed and gave another wry smile: "I was indeed a bit impulsive. After all, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a formidable opponent as Mr. Yu Jiang. I got excited and lost my composure. But now it seems that I overestimated myself."

After realizing Jiang Yuchuan's strength, it was somewhat inappropriate to still call him "Brother Yuchuan," so he changed his address and started calling him Mr. Jiang, along with Qi Changqing and Lu Jingchen.

"So now you——"

Seeing Jiang Jihai's increasingly pale face and lips, Lu Jingchen felt a little anxious.

Jiang Jihai shook his head and grinned at Lu Jingchen, saying, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem right now. I'll recover after a few days of rest. Besides—don't you know my physical condition? Even without today's incident, I couldn't have stopped that day from coming."

Lu Jingchen comforted him, "There's always a way out. Brother Hai, you mustn't give up on yourself. You must trust Senior Fu and the Third Prince; they will definitely find a way to save you."

Jiang Jihai patted Lu Jingchen on the shoulder with a smile and said boldly, "Don't worry, Brother Chen! Your brother Hai is not the kind of person who gives up on himself or wallows in despair when he encounters some setbacks and difficulties! Even if I really become a cripple in the end, I will be the most unrestrained, the most carefree and happy cripple in the world!"

The sunlight shone on his pale face, like melting snow, dazzling and beautiful, yet also revealing a kind of irreversible desolation.
