"Wait..."
Lu Xiaobai suddenly thought of something. He looked at the honest-looking boy in front of him and asked,
"How are you related to Lin Xue'er?"
"She's my biological sister."
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched. He had actually vaguely guessed it in his heart.
"Lin Lei...er, do you need something from me?"
"Brother Lu, just call me Xiao Lei."
Lin Lei'er scratched his head and then stated his purpose for coming:
"I want to spar with you, Brother Lu, to see what a true genius looks like!"
"Me? A genius?"
Lu Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said:
"Haven't you looked into my Star Martial scores?"
"Brother Lu, that's just a facade you use to fool idiots. I'm not that stupid."
Lin Lei'er chuckled, a smug look in his eyes, clearly believing he had seen through it all.
"..."
Lu Xiaobai had a weird expression on his face. Looking at the other party's naive and honest appearance, he actually felt a slight urge to spar.
Logically speaking, this kind of person wasn't very bright, which meant his Vitality Level probably wasn't high either...
"My old man is the Deputy Mayor of Starlight City. He told me that any random side-branch member of your Lu family could beat me up, so I want to see just how powerful the direct descendants of the Lu family are!"
Lin Lei'er's face was full of eagerness as he pleaded:
"Please give Xiao Lei some pointers, Brother Lu!"
"Since you put it that way, it seems I have no way to refuse."
Lu Xiaobai put his hands behind his back and asked calmly:
"What is your Vitality Level?"
"Not high, 9.5."
"???"
Lu Xiaobai froze for a moment, then asked:
"How much?!"
"9.5."
Lin Lei'er seemed a bit ashamed. He lowered his head and muttered:
"Brother Lu, I know I can't compare to you, but I'm confident I can reach 9.9 before the Star Exam arrives!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's eyes twitched wildly, filled with shock.
In the Star Exam, a Vitality of 9.9 meant a perfect score in that subject. It surpassed countless peers and even qualified one to apply for the Top Ten Starry Sky Academies. And Lin Lei'er was already approaching that level!
Even looking at the entire Ancestral Planet, this guy could be called a genius!
"Farewell!"
Lu Xiaobai didn't hesitate. He turned around smoothly and prepared to leave.
What a joke.
He was just a noob with a Vitality Level of 1.6. One punch from this guy would knock his life flashing before his eyes...
Seeing him about to leave, Lin Lei'er sprinted to block his path and said:
"Brother Lu, please just give me pointers this once, I beg you!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's face darkened with imaginary lines. If it weren't for the other party's honest look, he would have suspected this was intentional mockery...
"Your sister is stronger than you, right?"
"Only slightly. Sparring with her doesn't help me improve much."
Lin Lei'er pressed his palms together in a pleading gesture and said stubbornly:
"Brother Lu, if you don't agree, I'll go to your front door and beg you every day!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched.
He knew he had encountered a dead-set, stubborn fool.
"Sigh..."
He sighed, his eyes turning profound, and said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Lei, do you know why I never use my full strength when sparring with others?"
Lin Lei'er was slightly startled, then recalled the information he had investigated. In all past class combat tests, the other party had always surrendered voluntarily and never truly exerted any effort...
A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he asked tentatively:
"Because... you're afraid you might kill someone with one punch?"
Lu Xiaobai smiled, then thought to himself:
Of course it's because I can't beat anyone...
However, he didn't say that out loud. Instead, he put on an unfathomable expression and murmured:
"That's only one of the reasons. There is a much more important reason!"
"What is it?"
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said profoundly:
"I often wonder, why do we humans have to fight amongst ourselves?"
"Fight amongst ourselves?"
"Brother Lu, this is just a friendly spar. No one will get hurt."
"Not necessarily. The power of us Star Martial Artists is too great. Who can guarantee that no one will get hurt at all?"
Lu Xiaobai said earnestly:
"Once someone gets hurt, resentment is born. Grudges begin to accumulate, and eventually, it will evolve into a life-or-death battle!"
"..."
Lin Lei'er was slightly stunned. He felt something was wrong but didn't know how to refute it...
"Although humanity seems glorious right now, the crisis brought by the Star Zerg Race has never been resolved. Furthermore, Starry Sky Behemoths frequently invade our star domain. On top of that, on the planets we've conquered, certain natives have always been restless. God knows when they will start a rebellion!"
"Tell me, in this time of crisis on all sides, can we humans afford to waste our energy fighting amongst ourselves?!"
"..."
"Answer me, look into my eyes!"
"No... we can't."
"Exactly!"
Lu Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, then said passionately:
"Xiao Lei, you must remember that within humanity, the main theme is opposing violence! If you truly have too much energy, then please swing your fists at alien races like the Star Zerg and the Starry Sky Behemoths!"
Lin Lei'er's expression shook. He felt as if the other party's words were deafening and enlightening. A look of shame appeared on his face as he whispered:
"Brother Lu, I understand now..."
"It's not too late for you to understand now."
Lu Xiaobai patted his shoulder and shouted firmly:
"No matter what, I, Lu Xiaobai, will never allow any thoughts of using violence against our own kind!"
Clang—
Just as Lu Xiaobai finished speaking,
A Star Energy Laser Gun containing terrifying power fell out of his backpack. It was even fizzing with a laser beam that pierced straight through the ground...
Clang—
At the same time, the venom, explosives, and other items in his bag also fell out...
The two of them just stood there facing each other, with various terrifying and lethal weapons lying between them.
The entire scene seemed to freeze instantly...
Lu Xiaobai's expression stiffened as he thought to himself:
Crap!
He had wanted to show them to Du An earlier and forgot to turn the thing off. It actually misfired accidentally and burned right through his backpack...
After a long while,
Lin Lei'er, wearing a blank expression, tilted his head to look at Lu Xiaobai and asked:
"Brother Lu, what is this?"
"Uh..."
Lu Xiaobai rubbed his forehead, then said seriously:
"They are toys for children. They look powerful, but they are actually fake."
"But that looks like a Class C Seventh-Generation Laser Gun produced by the Star Shattering Group."
"You recognize it?"
"Yeah."
"..."
Lu Xiaobai fell silent, feeling quite awkward for a moment.
He had just finished saying they shouldn't even have thoughts of using violence, and then a pile of lethal weapons dropped out of his bag...
"Well, Xiao Lei..."
He sighed and muttered:
"Alright, since you really want to spar, let's do it."
"No!"
Lin Lei'er shook his head firmly, his eyes filled with terror.
You have got to be kidding me. With all these insane high-tech weapons lying around on the ground, his scrawny little frame wouldn't be able to withstand a damn thing...

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.
