Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1986: 521:

Observers noticed Lu Lingxiao's extended clash with Wang Tianhu and figured he must be worn out, so right away, three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators surged ahead.

Even though they were just loose cultivators, these three had cultivated the Combined Attack Secret Skill, which let them hold their own against False Core cultivators in certain ways.

Yet, this Combined Attack Secret Skill, without reaching flawless mastery, exposed numerous weaknesses under Lu Lingxiao’s Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique and Son of Heaven’s Golden Eyes.

Therefore, the trio of formidable opponents fell to Lu Lingxiao after only a handful of exchanges, coughing up blood.

The sight stunned and awed all the cultivators gathered in the area.

Lu Qingxuan, Qin Yi, and the rest were equally taken aback.

Still, after enduring three fierce fights, it was clear to everyone that Lu Lingxiao had depleted much of his mana and vitality, looking rather weary, which drew more challengers charging in.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Lu Lingxiao stayed composed, taking on each opponent steadily and driving back successive groups of cultivators with powerful strikes.

Next, yet another False Core Immortal advanced.

While this method of victory felt a bit unchivalrous, Lu Wangshu tossed out the spoils from Wang Tianhu and the defeated ones, brimming with temptation.

Lu Lingxiao drew in a deep breath, popped an elixir pill, and ignited the Vermilion Bird Sky-Scorching Art Secret Technique, his presence erupting fiercely as he pressed on with the battle.

The pair battled for close to a hundred exchanges until Lu Lingxiao edged out a victory using his Divine Skill, the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique.

One could say that overcoming a False Core Immortal head-on without any outside aid presented a truly daunting task.

"I never imagined a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess such might!"

A voice exclaimed in wonder, with eyes bulging at the incredible spectacle.

To best a False Core Immortal while only at Foundation Establishment marked him as an unparalleled genius.

Lu Lingxiao had not just triumphed over two False Core Immortals but also crushed numerous late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators along the way.

This display of combat strength was utterly astonishing!

"A genius of this caliber only emerges in legends and ancient scrolls!"

"Yes, feats like these deserve a place in the annals of Jiang Country."

"This brings to mind Yangming True Master, who supposedly faced off against the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master with Core Formation cultivation back in the initial conflicts."

"Might this mysterious youth have some connection to that Yangming True Master?"

Whispers and debates erupted among the crowd.

Still, certain individuals also identified Lu Lingxiao as the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, no disguise could hold up when unleashing full power in combat; those familiar with his moves would spot him easily.

Moreover, following the string of intense fights, droves of cultivators from the Secret Realm converged, including many from Great Dream Marsh.

"It appears the City Lord Mansion unveiled this Secret Realm as a proving ground for their Young City Lord."

Those who pieced together Lu Lingxiao’s background pondered silently.

The City Lord Mansion’s decision to access the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm and dangle a Coagulation Crystal Elixir as prize seemed excessively lavish.

If it served as a test for this Young City Lord, it all fell into place.

"Lingxiao, do you need to rest?"

Lu Wangshu spotted Lu Lingxiao’s heavy toll in energy and injuries and called out.

Though she often enjoyed ribbing Lu Lingxiao, she’d never allow her brother to face real peril.

"I can still go on."

Surrounded by a radiant glow of crimson morning light, Lu Lingxiao was refining the elixir inside him while grasping the secret technique from Hong Lian, letting the inner blaze reshape him.

Without question, this represented a highly perilous cultivation method.

Should he falter or the technique prove ineffective, it could damage his foundation, demanding a long recovery period.

"Alright."

Lu Wangshu gave a small nod, inquiring if others cared to challenge.

The assembly froze, surprised that Lu Lingxiao planned to keep battling.

But after the prior onslaught of fights, no more sneaky opportunists sought an easy victory.

Shortly after, six cultivators from Qingyun Sect finally showed up.

"Since Fairy Wangshu shows such enthusiasm, we’ll wager alongside the fairy."

The six from Qingyun Sect hurled their storage bags forward and declared boldly, aiming to impress the lovely lady.

Nevertheless, Lu Lingxiao’s battle prowess endured, as he single-handedly overpowered the six Qingyun Sect cultivators.

Though his state worsened, his aura grew ever more grand, like he could stride across the heavens and stars.

"Is Lingxiao planning to take on every cultivator in the Secret Realm?"

Lu Qingxuan observed Lu Lingxiao, who sat recovering from his injuries, guessing with a touch of awe.

This level of fighting ability was genuinely staggering.

"It’s not enough, this is not enough!"

Yet, amid the intense blaze of his essence, qi, and spirit, Lu Lingxiao understood that these encounters fell short of the intensity his father described for true metamorphosis.

Only by tempering himself in desperate struggles, confronting the terror of mortality, could he unleash his spirit and potential for a complete shift from within to without.

"This is too boring, Sister Wangshu, let’s directly take action."

Lu Lingxiao stood up, gazing at Lu Wangshu, ready to strike proactively, to dominate the Secret Realm and use the strain to ignite his hidden strengths.

"Alright!"

Noticing Lu Lingxiao’s initiative, Lu Wangshu’s mouth lifted in a subtle grin, her face lighting with a soft smile, then she turned to the watching cultivators and stated coolly: "This is really too dull, now I give you two choices: first, hand over your storage bags and voluntarily exit; second, be defeated by us."

"???"

All the cultivators stood puzzled.

Utterly shocked by Lu Wangshu’s declaration.

"Isn’t Fairy Lu too domineering?"

At once, a few cultivators retorted icily.

Although Lu Wangshu was the offspring of Changsheng True Master, Master Xi Yue.

However, the leftover cultivators, beyond a handful of False Core ones, largely came from powerful clans and sects, unafraid of the Lu Family.

"Humph!"

Lu Wangshu huffed disdainfully, lifting her delicate hand to draw talisman patterns.

"Alright, alright, alright! Rumors say Fairy Lu received the talisman arts from Changsheng True Master and even outshone him, so today I’ll get to witness it firsthand!"

A False Core cultivator responded sharply.

But before he finished, Lu Lingxiao dashed forward wielding the Golden Fire Vine Tree, his energy flaring, projecting an unstoppable force.

The other cultivators, witnessing this, joined the fray as well, sparking a wild melee.

In the end, the treasures Lu Lingxiao had claimed from so many victories ignited jealousy among the rest.

Seizing it all would put the top spot in the Secret Realm within grasp!}
