"Alright, let’s end this quickly. How disappointing!"
Before finishing his sentence, Lu Zhen vanished—not really vanished, but moved so fast it seemed like he did. Lu Zhen had clearly taken a different path from the rest of his family in body cultivation.

*Whumph!*
In a flash, Lu Zhen appeared in front of Chen Wenzhong, grabbing both of his arms with immense strength, rendering Chen Wenzhong unable to move.
“Though disappointed, I’m not foolish enough to underestimate you. Rumors are rumors, and I can’t be careless!”
With a confident grin, Lu Zhen held tightly onto Chen Wenzhong, preventing his next move.

Unfortunately, Chen Wenzhong had no intention of moving. Seeing the overconfident fool daring to grab his arms directly, he silently mourned for Lu Zhen for three seconds in his heart.

*Thump! Thump! Thump!*
An inexplicable rhythm began emanating from Chen Wenzhong's body, similar to the sound of something beating. It unsettled Lu Zhen, making his heart pound, as if something drastic was about to happen in the next second!

Judge Helian quickly examined Lu Zhen and found that his internal spiritual energy was completely disrupted, but there were no physical injuries, similar to the chaotic energy from improper cultivation. How could this happen during a match?
Setting aside his doubts, Helian stood up and shouted,
"Since Lu Zhen has fainted, the winner is Chen Wenzhong of the Chen family!"

Though the audience didn’t understand what had happened, it didn’t stop them from cheering.

Family Grandstand.
"Chen Zhan, what did your son do? Lu Zhen's body cultivation is far superior to most of our younger generation. How did he lose without even lasting a single move, ending up coughing blood and fainting? Chen Wenzhong didn’t even seem to make a move. Did you cheat?"
