His combat art now had another skill shown to him. Although he had learned many tricks, they were not worthy to be levelled as combat art; however, this was. Actually, he had considered his lack of combat art; but, he was helpless as he still needed to focus on his cultivation, which made him take less time to practise combat art.
Lu Qing took the book back with a dazed expression as Lu Zhen beckoned her to leave with a satisfied expression.
Almost everything useless was filtered out by Lu Qing, and reading all the words, although he couldn't comprehend many words, he felt like most of the words were carefully done through her own effort and all were good. Although it wasn't to an expert level, it was good overall, which made him satisfied.
He liked people who worked hard because no matter how bad or good one is, as long as they try hard enough, they will be able to excel in that subject.
She moved almost like a zombie as she exited the room.
After she left the room, Lu Qing despaired as she questioned her life. Lu Zhen had learned everything that she had learned in her entire life until now in a mere couple of hours.
After all, Lu Zhen wouldn't be pretentious in front of her based on his personality, as she has observed. Although there is a hint of arrogance, it was natural after all, he was a monster in cultivation. And there was no reason that Lu Zhen would lie since she was just a servant of him, so why would he lie against her?
This fact made her question her own reality.
"Sigh, he is a true monster…" Lu Qing at the last could only contribute this to Lu Zhen being a monster as she left the room with a bitter expression, and her mood soured considerably. Who wouldn't be in such a mood seeing that the years of hard work one did could be completed by someone in a couple of hours?
As she left, she saw Lu Zhi standing there nervously.
"Eh, what happened to you, brother?"
"Sister, did Lu Zhen do something to you?" Lu Zhi asked nervously instead of answering. He was nervous if she suffered the same fate as him.
"He just asked me for my technique I used for the needle combat art that I have recently learned and gave him some knowledge of the human body," she replied with a confused expression.
Lu Zhi internally heaved a sigh of relief as he felt a burden lift in him.
"Why are you acting so strange again?" she asked, seeing him be so relieved with a confused expression.
"Nothing," he said before fully ignoring her as he left.
"You can't leave me in the red like that, tell me… brother…" Lu Qing chased after her brother with an angry expression. Hearing the playful voice of her, Lu Zhi shook his head with a smile; however, his pace became faster instead.
….
Lu Zhen slowly savoured the meat in his mouth, relishing the succulent taste that left him in a state of bliss.
He took another bite, feeling his body being filled with energy as a warm, invigorating sensation spread throughout. His whole being revelled in the blissful energy that surged through him with each bite.
Lu Zhen's body recovered at a rapid pace, and the more meat he consumed, the faster the process. The sound of him chewing resonated in the room.
Crunch! Crunch!
Almost like he was eating a rock, he made these sounds under the astonished eyes of Lily as he ate the meat with a satisfied expression.
It wasn't only because of the crunching sound of Lu Zhen that she was astonished; she was astonished as well because the more he took bites the more his malnourished body packed with muscle of Lu Zhen gradually recovered to its previous state.
"Why am I not surprised anymore?" she thought to herself with a mix of excitement as she gazed at Lu Zhen with a reinvigorated look.
"Young master is destined to do greatness. Until then, I must be his guard. I need more strength." Lily tightened her fist with determination.
Lu Zhen was unaware of his little maid's determination to become his guard as he slowly savoured the meat. Although the meat was delicious, it was equally tough.
If Lu Zhen had to compare, it might reach the hardness of the diamonds in his previous world or even higher. However, this level of toughness was nothing compared to the bite force Lu Zhen possessed now, as his constitution was in the mid-tier of the second-stage martial realm.
Feeling his body full of power, and any more would just make him feel bloated, Lu Zhen reluctantly let go of the meat with a sigh. "It's time to cultivate again."
"Young master, I want to be useful to you," Lily said, looking at Lu Zhen with reverence in her eyes.
"Huh…" Lu Zhen woke up from his sense of contemplation upon hearing Lily's voice.
"You want to be…"
"Young master, please," she interrupted with almost a tear in her eyes.
"Alright, then. You might never catch up to me, however, you can help me in other ways," he said as he walked close to her, his breath reaching her body.
Lily's face turned a shade of pink as she asked, "In what way, young master?" She closed her eyes, almost expecting something, however, she instead felt a cold object on her face.
"Eh," she thought, confused, as she opened her eyes to see a book.
"Learn formations. It will be very useful to me. Although this is a subject that requires talent, if you do not understand after learning for a day or two..." he trailed off as he went back to his seclusion room.
