"Hmm?"
Lu Xiaobai was slightly startled. Seeing through the other party's thoughts, he said with a smile:
"I already told you it's just a friendly spar, how could I possibly use them."
"I don't believe you."
Lin Lei'er, however, replied with a completely serious face:
"I've already figured it out. You're full of nonsense, and there isn't a single word of truth coming out of your mouth."
To think he had actually been convinced by the guy just a moment ago, believing he had met a peer with such a high realm of thought, only to find out it was all an act...
If he really agreed to the match, perhaps the moment he threw a punch, the guy would just pull out a gun and spray him with bullets...
At this time, Lu Xiaobai frowned and said:
"Are we really not going to spar?"
"Um, Brother Lu, I just remembered I might not have turned off the gas at home, I'll be leaving first!"
Lin Lei'er didn't give the other party any chance to speak. He turned around and ran away immediately; hesitating for even a second would be a disrespect to those massive lethal weapons on the ground...
He had completely lost any thought of sparring with the other party.
At the same time, he also understood why his father had said that even the collateral descendants of the Lu family could beat him up. He truly couldn't withstand those heavy weapons...
"Is there really so little trust between people?"
Lu Xiaobai watched the other party's fleeing back, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
However, the thought that the guy would at least never come looking for him to spar again made his mood brighten up.
"Although the process was a bit twisted, at least the result is exactly what I expected. I really am the chosen one, able to achieve my goals no matter what!"
Lu Xiaobai whistled as he returned to his own home...
Meanwhile,
Lin Lei'er also rushed back home at top speed.
"Why are you running so fast? Is someone chasing you?"
Lin Xue'er was reading a book in the living room and immediately noticed her brother's panicked face.
"Pretty much."
Xiao Lei glanced behind him. Not seeing Lu Xiaobai, he felt relieved in his heart and continued:
"Sis, I really almost lost my life today."
"We are in the city center of Starlight City, what kind of danger could there be?"
Lin Xue'er didn't care at all,
After all, her younger brother just liked to make a fuss out of nothing...
Xiao Lei caught his breath and then recounted everything that had just happened in detail.
After a long while,
Lin Xue'er's mouth opened slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she muttered to herself:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true. This guy is extremely cunning and carries illegal weapons on him at all times."
Xiao Lei hurriedly said:
"Sis, listen to your brother's advice, be careful when associating with him..."
"Associating?"
Lin Xue'er was slightly startled, then glared at him and said angrily:
"Are you itching for a beating?!"
"Uh..."
Xiao Lei quickly assumed a defensive posture and said at the same time:
"Sis, you guys don't have a relationship?"
"What relationship could we have?"
"Stop pretending!"
Xiao Lei chuckled and whispered:
"I've heard people say that you specifically ran to the Star Martial Arts Hall to deliver medicine to him. You call that no relationship?"
"That was just a transaction!"
Lin Xue'er rolled her eyes and explained:
"A physical recovery potion for fifty thousand each, wouldn't you sell it?"
"Fifty thousand?!"
Xiao Lei's expression shook, a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Although their family background was also very good, it wasn't to the extent of treating tens of thousands of Alliance Coins as nothing...
At this moment,
He thought of those few lethal weapons again. Earlier, he was just frightened by their power and ignored their actual value.
Now, thinking carefully, he instantly estimated that the value of those weapons exceeded two million, which suddenly made his heart burn with excitement.
Xiao Lei scratched his head and said tentatively:
"Sis, how about you really try getting to know him? I suddenly feel that Brother Lu is actually a pretty good person..."
"Didn't you just say he was cunning?"
"I used the wrong word. Thinking about it now, that should be called wisdom."
"..."
Lin Xue'er had a weird expression on her face and said indifferently:
"Xiao Lei, you haven't set your sights on his money and plan to sell your sister out, have you?"
"How is that possible!"
Xiao Lei quickly denied it.
However, he had another thought in his mind.
If he could really establish a connection with Lu Xiaobai, he might soon be able to own his own flying vehicle, without needing to secretly drive his father's all day...
"Put away your little schemes!"
Lin Xue'er saw right through her younger brother's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile:
"Putting aside what your sister thinks, do you really think a direct descendant of the Lu family would take a fancy to me? Have you been daydreaming too much?"
"Sis, you are the school beauty of our school, and your Star Martial Arts grades are steadily in first place. Someone as excellent as you is hard to find even with a lantern..."
"It seems you still don't understand the Lu family..."
Lin Xue'er shook her head and said:
"Although I am number one in our middle school, looking at the Ancestral Planet, I can't even make it into the top one hundred. If placed in the entire human star domain, I'd probably rank hundreds of thousands of places behind..."
"..."
Xiao Lei instantly fell silent, but didn't refute.
Humanity possessed nearly a thousand life planets, and although the Ancestral Planet was the place of origin, whether in terms of geographical location, star energy concentration, or scale, it was no longer sufficient for development and had gradually been reduced to a third-tier planet, far inferior to those prosperous first-tier planets...
"What I just said is only the situation for our current batch. There will be this many outstanding people every year."
Lin Xue'er sighed and muttered:
"There are so many geniuses, I am far from being anything special..."
She had been the grade's number one for too long, and her gaze had long since moved beyond the Ancestral Planet, looking towards the entire human star domain.
"Sis, that's what makes it challenging, isn't it..."
A smile appeared in Xiao Lei's eyes as he said with fervor:
"What we need to do is defeat these geniuses one by one and become the outstanding figures of this era!"
"Let's get into the top ten Starry Sky Academies first."
Lin Xue'er shook her head, turned around, and went back to her room.
Seeing this, Xiao Lei stopped mentioning Lu Xiaobai.
Indeed, there were countless geniuses, but there were only four direct descendants of the Lu family in this generation. More precisely, there was only one of their age, Lu Xiaobai...
...
Early the next morning,
Lu Xiaobai cycled through his body-refining technique. Traces of invisible star energy descended from the universe into his body, strengthening every one of his cells...
Half an hour later,
"Refreshing!"
Lu Xiaobai clenched his fists, feeling that he had grown a tiny bit stronger.
He opened his information panel:
Host: Lu Xiaobai
Talent: Unawakened
Physique: Unawakened
Vitality Level: 1.6
Star Skill: Basic Body Refining Technique Lv4 (+)
Special Skill: Fake Injury Lv1 (+) Basic Pharmacy Lv1 (+)
Starry Sky Points: 0
Overall Evaluation: I have seen many trashes, but they could all call you trash.
"What a dogshit evaluation..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched, but he knew he couldn't change it for now, so he could only ignore it.
"Has the vitality level not changed?"
He wasn't surprised. Yesterday, his vitality was able to increase directly by 0.1 mainly because he was already at a critical point. After the impact of the level four body-refining technique, it naturally broke through smoothly.
However, he believed that he had still made progress today. It was just that the vitality level on his status panel could only display up to one decimal place.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? 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. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
