Chapter 291: Drawing an IOU (Part 3)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

I wonder if the old priest would be angry or not…

I wonder if the old priest got eaten by a wild animal…

In Lu Shu’s mind, many possible instances that flashed past in a moment. His hand trembled and his lance almost slipped off and fell. He kept all the lances into the seal of lands before returning.

He had heard from Jiang Shuyi mentioning about the old priest being responsible for guarding the country. Even if he despised the other party’s extremely polite method of asking whether he wished to be his apprentice when his real intention was to get Xiaoyu to be his apprentice.

However, Lu Shu’s heart was still full of respect for him… After all, if there were no one protecting the country, how could there be peace and harmony within the country right?

After returning back to the open space, Lu Shu was taken aback for a moment. When he left, the old priest was fine as he regulated his breathing cross-legged. Now, he was lying on the ground.

Lu Shu ran over quickly, “Heavenly King? Are you okay, Heavenly King?”

“Heavenly King! You cannot meet a mishap now, we have yet to find the Matrix Eye!”

“Heavenly King, you can let me know if you have any last wishes!

Chen Bai Li couldn’t hold back and opened his eyes. He replied weakly, “I am not dead yet…”

“Coughs.” Lu Shu looked at the weak appearance of Chen Bai Li. He really didn’t think that someone who was a Heavenly King could be injured to such an extent. If it was like this, the other player must have been much more powerful than you. After fighting with me, he still was able to escape from here.

However, these words couldn’t be said in front of Chen Bai Li. He was afraid that it might anger the old Heavenly King. There was a need to know when to earn distress value. Lu Shu would not agree to make such a deal with someone…

Chen Bai Li was also astonished. He could see the injuries and blood on Lu Shu’s body. Even though he was weak, he could hear the movements in the mountain forest. It was obvious that Lu Shu had fought with that Class B master.

Even though the Class B master was seriously injured by myself when last time he came back, the awakened metahuman with Class E strength still shouldn’t be able to match up against him?

Previously, he was still worried about Lu Shu, but the latter was alive and kicking in front of him as if nothing had happened.

Chen Bai Li said weakly, “Help me up.”

Lu Shu earnestly helped Chen Bai Li up, and he suddenly heard Chen Bai Li asked, “How did you escape from him?”

Lu Shu paused for a moment, “I didn’t, we fought and he ran away!”

This time, it was Chen Bai Li who paused, “Ran away?”

Ran away?! What are you boasting about, how could you be able to fight and made the other person ran away?!

“Chen Bai Li distress value, +411…”

Chen Bai Li suppressed his breathing that got disordered again, “Come come come. Tell me, how could you, who is currently a Class E, manage to win against a Class B?”

The first reaction Lu Shu had after listening to this was to ponder. There were rumors that said you cannot hear foreign languages, why were you speaking fluently when you asked about classes? However, Lu Shu didn’t dare to ask that…

“I am not at Class E now.” Lu Shu laughed buoyantly, “I was awakened during the battle just now.”

Chen Bai Li was obviously stunned. Indeed, a battle between life and death could be able to quicken awakening. There were many people who awakened in this manner, even managed to get over the battle. He uncertainly asked, “Class D?”

“Try again!” Lu Shu said cheekily.

Asking me to try again, are you joking around? Can’t you tell me right away?!

“Chen Bai Li distress value, +666!”

Lu Shu saw the distress value and was worried that he might choke on his breath… He quickly said, “Class C, Class C!”

“You’re an effortless awakening type,” Chen Bai Li nodded his head weakly. It was not that there weren’t past cases of skipping classes when one awakened. It was usually a lower class jump from Class F to Class D, it was rare to have a jump from Class E to Class C directly.

He increasingly wished to get Lu Shu to be his apprentice. His foundation crumbled early, and today the price to pay for a huge battle was not magical power but his life-span.

The predestined life-span of a practitioner was usually longer than normal people, but he was different from Li Xianyi.

He thought back to his earlier years when his ill-temper caused a huge disaster. In the end, his temper was as bad when he became older. Now that he did not have much time left, his biggest wish was not for the world to become better, but to find a suitable person to inherit his position.

There was only one point that Chen Bai Li couldn’t understand, “Even if you are now a Class C awakened metahuman, time is needed for your power to increase. How did you fight till he ran away? How did you do it?”

Lu Shu muttered, “Just like that.”

Chen Bai Li, “???”

Can’t you just say how you fought?

“Chen Bai Li distress value, +429!” Chen Bai Li felt that the suspense of talking to Lu Shu was killing him!

However, Lu Shu didn’t think of how he was supposed to say it. After fighting a series of battles, the methods were used couldn’t be told to other people.

Chen Bai Li waved his hands, “Bring me to the centre of the relics when morning comes. I need to buy time to recover.”

He still did not believe that the Class B master escaped after fighting Lu Shu… He wanted to rest and regulate his breathing here. In the end, Chen Bai Li was extremely worried that the opponent would recover faster than himself, and rise up again.

Now, his foundation had been shaken. He needed to stabilise his foundation before seeking to recover his actual power, but the speed of recovery would not be as quick as the opponent.

Lu Shu was not pleased, “From your reaction, do you not believe me?”

“You don’t have a trustable face in the first place…”

“You know physiognomy? Please help me to look into my career and marriage…? I feel that the lifeline on my palm seems extremely long… Will I be able to live for a long time?”

“Get lost.”

…

Once it was dawn, Lu Xiaoyu jumped onto naughty pig and led the troops to set off. Chen Zuan is following by the side, he had a sense of proudness that he couldn’t hide in his heart. Once he was out of the relics, he would surpass all these juniors. Then, he would have more say in the circle?

The chatty Little Fatty couldn’t rest his mouth and suddenly asked, “Xiaoyu, why don’t you and Lu Shu trust that we will return you the money even with the IOU. The disciples from my family are trustable. This is a problem of our reputation. Honestly, it is not overboard to ask for 500 thousand for this military strength.”

Lu Xiaoyu acknowledged, and as if she got reminded of something, “Then write me another 420 thousand worth of IOU.”

Lu Shu refreshed a line at the back, “Chen Zuan distress value, +420!”

Chen Zuan almost gave himself a slap, she had a foul mouth!

To be honest, they were not at a loss even when the military strength was worth 500 thousand. Furthermore, he had intentions of getting to know the siblings – Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. After all, the pair of siblings was quite interesting.

He scratched his head, “I have no pen and paper now.”

Lu Shu took out Little Fury’s workbook and pen and said, “I have.”

After Chen Zuan wrote the IOU, he was frank and couldn’t help but asked, “Xiaoyu, isn’t it inconvenient for you to wear a watch on your lower leg?”

Lu Xiaoyu sneered, “How is it inconvenient? You speaking as if you have to transplant rice with me.”

Chen Zuan, “???” Transplant rice? What about transplanting rice?!

Lu Shu refreshed a line at the back again, “Chen Zuan distress value, +611!”

Lu Xiaoyu had a clear target and rushed towards the open space where Lu Shu and Chen Bai Li were at. During the journey, they passed by the place where Lu Shu fought with the Class B master. Chen Zuan saw the huge hole that Lu Shu dug in order to throw his lancer, he exclaimed, “This battle must have been intense! What kind of strength could have this sort of effect?”

In actual fact, the hole was not that huge, but Lu Shu dug open everything. It did look a little scary…

Till Lu Xiaoyu to lead the troops and Chen Zuan to the initial open space where Chen Bai Li fought, Chen Zuan lost all his words. In front of him, the forest that was about the size of a soccer field was razed to the ground. It was scary!

Lu Xiaoyu saw that the open space that Chen Bai Li was supposed to be at was empty, then she turn her head to Chen Zuan. She said coldly, “Get ready to worship Heaven.”
