Chapter 248: Lu Yuan wants to become First-stage Martial artist

The moon was dimly visible as its silvery light graced the entire place.

Its silvery light revealed an inconspicuous city surrounded by forest and river on all sides, covering the entire city from all four sides.

The city was silent as it was the middle of the night with huge walls.

In the right corner of Phoenix City, there was a huge residence with a big signboard imprinted with "Lu Family,'' where the lights were turned off and the guards were drunk because of the banquet that had just occurred.

Slowly, a clothed male figure wearing a black robe that entirely covered his body was stealthily exiting the residence in hushed steps, as silently as possible. It swiftly passed the half-sleeping guards and reached outside.

After reaching outside, it seemed that cloaked figure heaved a sigh of relief as he took off his cape, revealing Lu Yuan inside.

"Lu family, you can celebrate as much as you want, but you will all be slaughtered for the injustice you have done to me, you bastards." Initially, his plan was to kill Lu Zhen when he was inside the inheritance cave; however, that didn't happen because of the sudden war, which, to his despair, the Lu Family won.

However, his despair didn't end there as Lu Zhen was victorious and garnered countless achievements in the battle.

From the rumours he had heard, Lu Zhen even killed a first-stage martial artist who, with him, became a giant as vast as the planets themselves.

Of course, he wouldn't believe such baseless rumours. However, seeing Lu Zhen's strength up-close, how he effortlessly defeated the man who was even strong for a second-stage martial artist and had strange methods up his sleeves, Lu Yuan knew the bitter truth of reality.

He could never overtake that bastard Lu Zhen, which made him develop even more hate for Lu Zhen, to the point that he has never been able to rest until just yesterday when he received the news from that person again.

"If I can gain more power from them, I can definitely kill that bastard Lu Zhen as long as I become a first-stage martial artist," Lu Yuan's eyes widened as if in realization. "That's right, as long as I become a first-stage martial artist, no matter how talented that monster is, he would be just a bug in front of me. After that, I will kill him," he smirked, thinking of these.

His mind was already clouded with the thought of revenge that he couldn't even think rationally and unconsciously started to call Lu Zhen a monster, as if from the bottom of his soul.

As Lu Yuan was plotting in revenge and glee in with his wishful fantasy, suddenly a rustling of sound rang in his ears.

Lu Yuan's face turned cold as he looked around. "Show yourself." Although he had become a second-stage martial artist from a pill, he was still authentically a second-stage martial artist and had everything that is related to a second-stage martial artist.

The only thing that was lacking was the experience and the many tricks up a second-stage martial artist's sleeves, which showed how terrifying the pill was.

"Don't worry, I am the messenger's subordinate," the cold tone resounded in his head, which made Lu Yuan internally heave a sigh of relief.

"Okay," he said with some relief.

"So I will be giving you instructions from now on. First, you need to stay undercover in the Lu family as much as possible and try to get every piece of information about the Lu family down to the tee. You must not hide or skim any details, and the second is…"

"Wait," Lu Yuan suddenly said with a cold expression.

"What is it?" the voice asked back with a frown.

"You need to fulfil your agreement first to make me a first-stage martial artist," Lu Yuan said with a stubborn voice.

"Huh, there was such an agreement?" the voice replied back with a tinge of confusion.

"Yes, there is such an agreement. So now, will you give me the pill to become a first-stage martial artist, and I will do anything for you?"

The voice didn't reply for a long time, which made Lu Yuan frown as he suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

He looked around; however, he didn't sense any danger. "Must have been my imagination," Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

"Alright, we will make you a first-stage martial artist after you complete this task, and if you remain loyal to the organisation, you will even be granted power beyond the first-stage martial realm. Just imagine what you can do after that…"

However, Lu Yuan didn't buy it, as it was more important for him to take revenge on Lu Zhen rather than thinking about the future. If he wasn't consumed by revenge, he wouldn't have even thought of betraying his own family, of course.

"You didn't complete your assignment as well, and…" the voice carefully explained, however Lu Yuan interrupted him again.

"I mean no means no; I will only do work for you guys after you make me a first-stage martial artist," Lu Yuan said with a smug smile on his face, as if he was proud of himself.

"So are you really not going to take the mission?"

"Yes," Lu Yuan said with violent eyes and red veins popping in his body. "Until and unless I become a first-stage martial artist and gain the ability to take revenge on Lu Zhen, I won't do anything."

The voice became silent as no reply came.

"Don't ignore me, you bastard," Lu Yuan roared in anger as his terrifying aura of a second-stage martial artist erupted.

"Hey, are you crazy? Don't erupt with your aura; we will be found out," the voice sounded in panic.

"I don't care. Make me a first-stage martial artist or I will reveal the plan to the entire place."

"You…" the voice seemed to have become serious.

"... are dead." The voice suddenly turned into a cold, dead tone that sent a shiver down Lu Yuan's spine.
