Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 139 The Power of Bonds

"Don't be so arrogant. How dare you look down on me, Senior Brother Zhang? If they look down on me, aren't they looking down on you too?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Lu, leave it to me."

......

"Damn it! Why didn't you even look at my Senior Brother Zhang when you came out? Did you look down on him?"

"Are you guys fucking crazy?"

"I will not allow you to insult Senior Brother Zhang's mother like this! Senior Brother Zhang..."

"Damn it, you bastard, how dare you insult my own mother! Junior Brother Lu, you mustn't make a move, let me handle this."

......

"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, they were too strong. He sent them flying with a single slap. But I just couldn't help it. When we were fighting, I heard him say that you... were like a clueless idiot, and that your whole family must be... all..."

"Huh? I meant to say..."

"Aaaaah! How dare you insult my Zhang family! You're courting death!"

......

After six consecutive battles, Zhang Quan stood in front of Lu Yunshi, panting heavily, as if he had been drained dry. He couldn't understand why those people liked to insult him so much. In four out of the six battles, someone insulted him. In the other two battles, no one insulted him, but after exchanging a few words with Lu Yunshi, they inexplicably got angry and fought him like crazy.

But I didn't think there was anything wrong with what Junior Brother Lu said; at most, it was just a bit radical.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Zhang, I'm so useless, I can't help you at all." Lu Yunshi stood in front of Zhang Quan, his face full of worry. "Senior Brother Zhang, can you still fight like this?"

"Nonsense, of course I can. Those chickens and dogs can't possibly make me lose my fighting ability." Upon hearing this, Zhang Quan straightened his bent back, but the next second he changed his tune and took out a pill.

"No...but I do need to recover, so I don't encounter a strong enemy later."

Seeing that Zhang Quan was about to swallow the pill, Lu Yunshi immediately grabbed his hand and said sincerely.

"No, Senior Brother Zhang! We don't know how long the battle will last. If we use it now, what will we do if we encounter a strong enemy later? Let's hold on a little longer and be more patient. Didn't you just say that, Senior Brother Zhang?"

"Huh? What did I say?" Zhang Quan asked, staring blankly at the pill in his hand.

"You said that a strong person, even in adversity, cannot easily compromise. If you compromise now, you will have to compromise for a lifetime."

"Huh? I said that?" Zhang Quan was stunned and couldn't remember saying it.

"Of course, Senior Brother Zhang has said too many famous quotes or I can't remember them all, but I remember them and I keep them in my heart. So... I beg Senior Brother Zhang to face the difficulties at this time and not give in to them. Please don't let my idol be shattered."

'So... in Junior Brother Lu's eyes, I'm actually an idol?' Zhang Quan took a deep breath, feeling somewhat moved.

“That’s true. Don’t worry, Junior Brother Lu. Your idol will never compromise.”

After saying that, Zhang Quan crushed the pill in his hand with force, and then looked at Lu Yunshi with a serious expression.

“Junior Brother Lu, from now on, you are my half-brother Zhang Quan. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just mention the name of Zhang Quan of the Zhang family, and someone will surely help you.”

"Ah? Brother Zhang...!" Lu Yunshi's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, then he nodded emphatically.

“Brother Yun…!” Zhang Quan placed his hand on Lu Yunshi’s shoulder, his tone full of affection.

Just then, new enemies appeared in the assessment space, one in the late stage and one in the middle stage. The student in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Quan's weak appearance.

"Looks like I've picked up a bargain. It's an opponent who's used up all his pills. That early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has a full aura, but unfortunately, it's not very useful."

Seemingly having heard the student's disdainful words, Zhang Quan slowly turned around, crossed his arms, and stared straight ahead, his eyes seemingly burning with flames.

“Brother Yun, remember, even without using any tools, the bond between my brother and me is enough to break through all the difficulties before us.”

After saying that, Zhang Quan unleashed the remaining spiritual energy within his body. "Let's go, let's prove our bond to them."

"Huh? This guy... is actually so powerful." The student in the late stage of Nascent Soul was stunned, not expecting Zhang Quan to still have such strength.

After a while, Zhang Quan was knocked to the ground by a fierce blow from his opponent. The two students from the opposing team were panting heavily, their faces full of disbelief.

"Where did this monster come from? Every time it falls to the ground, it inexplicably gets back up."

At this moment, Zhang Quan, who had been knocked to the ground again, moved slightly and seemed to be able to stand up again. Seeing this, the students in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage could no longer hold back.

"Hey! Don't stand up anymore, isn't it better to just lie down like this?"

"Haha, how could you..." Zhang Quan slowly got up, but in the end he could only maintain a half-kneeling position, and a deep voice slowly came out from his throat.

"How can I fall here and let you underestimate our...bond?"

After saying this, Zhang Quan had no strength left and collapsed to the ground again, his eyes glazed over.

At this moment, Lu Yunshi, who seemed to have just experienced a great battle, came to Zhang Quanmian's side.

"Brother Zhang!"

"I'm...I'm sorry, Brother Yun, I might..."

"It's alright, I'm here. I'll bear the burden of our bond, Brother Zhang... get some sleep."

"Ha...ha...Alright, then it's up to you. Don't let them look down on us."

The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Quan's head lolled to the side and he immediately fainted. The two students on the other side finally breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was too evil; they really didn't want to touch him.

Fortunately, there's only one early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator left, which is easy to deal with.

"Hey, relax a bit, this will be over soon." The late-stage Nascent Soul student looked at Lu Yun and said wearily.

"Hehehe, I promised I would never let anyone underestimate our bond." Lu Yunshi sneered, took out a pill and popped it into his mouth. The strong medicinal power quickly spread throughout his body, and Lu Yunshi's condition recovered rapidly.

But this move truly shocked his two opponents.

"Dude, do you have any medicine?"

"Yes, there are four left." Lu Yunshi nodded very seriously, giving the answer.

"Then you guys..." Upon hearing this answer, the opposing team was speechless for a long, long time before the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator slowly finished the sentence.

"...They must be very sick, right?"

"Never mind, let's just end this battle already, I'm going crazy." The late-stage Naling student shook his head, not caring how many pills the opponent had, he just wanted to get away from the idiot.

"Didn't I tell you, don't underestimate our bond?" Lu Yunshi smiled slightly, then suddenly stretched out his hand to the two of them. Under their puzzled gazes, he snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, several beams of light swept in from all directions, their terrifying power instantly blasting the two defenseless individuals away. Without any pause, Lu Yunshi summoned his longbow and fired two arrows in quick succession, finishing off the remaining damage.

In the last second before leaving the arena, the late-stage Naling students suddenly saw several small cannons slowly appearing around them.

"When exactly...?"
