Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu’s voice was like a torch thrown into a field of dried grass, igniting it.

The originally quietened night became happening once more. Wang Xinkai and the rest were shaken awake and looked at Lu Shu, “What’s happening?”

Li Li turned and smiled, “Nothing, please go back to sleep. Captain. Lu Shu said that the Royal Army had a message for me.”

“Oh…”, Wang Xinkai let out a sigh of relief thinking that Lu Shu was overreacting…

However, just then, Lu Shu laughed lightly as he looked at this group of awoken people who just provided him with a bunch of distress values and stood up with a smile, “Mr Li Li, I’m afraid that things are not as simple as you think.”

Wang Xinkai and the rest originally already laid back down, preparing to go to sleep. When they heard what Lu Shu said, they froze for a moment.

Li Li’s heart squeezed tightly, wondering if this student was really feigning ignorance usually?

Li Li acted as though nothing was amiss and asked, “Oh? How is it not simple?”

Lu Shu smiled coldly, “Star-lord Laojun said that so long you hand over the spear, the Royal Army will guarantee that you live in gold and glamour!”

Smile, what a cold smile!

“From Wang Xinkai’s distress +299!”

“From Fu Xuehong’s distress, +130!”

From Nozo Min’s distress, +999!”

“From…”

Everyone was puzzled, it was as though they just watched a Countdown show in the middle of the night in the forest, how exciting!

Lu Shu sat back down happily knowing that it was not the right time to go heads-on with Li Li. Actually, if he could find the needle Li Li was hiding or forced him to use the unusual body trick, the truth would immediately be known.

The problem was that Lu Shu suddenly did not trust some of the classmates. It was not that there may be another spy but it was because they could not keep secrets.

If he forced out a spy for no reason in the relics, not bothering what would the Heavenly Network think, should the news spread to the Country of Islands, what if people came to take revenge on Xiaoyu and him?

Lu Shu was not afraid of them but at such a time, where everyone was enemies, he preferred to lie low and not let the enemy launch a surprise attack on him.

Who knew what tactics would that unethical country use? How annoying.

Instead of doing this, he would rather spar with the opponent openly like Nie Ting.

Lu Shu smiled, “Everyone quickly go to sleep, we still have to continue our journey tomorrow.” Tomorrow, he will definitely find the best opportunity.

The rest could not help but get angry as if it had not been Lu Shu who woke them up, would there be so much trouble?!

…

After such an episode, Li Li did not dare to take any more action recklessly but who knew if Lu Shu was asleep or not.

Not only so, when his night shift ended after waking Fu Xuehong up, he could not sleep well as he did not know what Lu Shu would do while he was asleep.

As a result, when Li Li sat up in the morning, Wang Xinkai, who was beside him, stretched and laughed, “Li Li, why do you look so listless?”

After a whole day of fighting with the animals and weird trees, in the end, he still did not get to sleep at night!

Li Li looked at Lu Shu who was lying nicely on his pile of leaves sleeping comfortably, as though they were not in the relics.

Wang Xinkai chopped thin branches from an almost recovered hanging tree for everyone, “Save up the water in the relics, just use these branches to clean your teeth, make do with it.”

Such methods were usually used for survival in the wild. While they saved water, they were able to maintain hygiene as far as possible.

The team continued their journey while Lu Shu remained with them and occasionally rushed forward to settle some animals. Just then, some realised that perhaps because they were moving towards the centre of the relics, the proportion of D-grade animals was gradually increasing.

Judging from their appearance, the animals they met that day were pretty much bigger as a result of the nourishment of living in a magical atmosphere.

But…

“Let me do it!”

“Hey! Let it go!”

Lu Shu’s voice continued to surround them as he remained calm despite an increasing number of D-grade animals…

Furthermore, Lu Shu did not suffer the slightest injury!

Someone asked softly, “Didn’t he say that he was an E-grade awakened person, powerful metahuman are so strong? They must have been hiding their real abilities.”

“… seem like it.”

However, Wang Xinkai and Fu Xuehong, these two strongest D-grade experts of the Heavenly Network, understood that the truth was not what the student thought it was.

Till then, all the powers Lu Shu used were still within the E-grade standards but the tactics he used to utilise his powers were impressive, as though it was the most efficient way they can be utilised and had even become instinctual for Lu Shu.

Without long-term training, it would have been impossible to achieve such effects as with tennis where a lot of people who had been playing for years were still unable to correctly exert strength.

…

With Lu Shu around, it saved the rest a lot of trouble. Everyone’s impression of Lu Shu changed. Although he was not normal, his abilities were definitely impressive!

Wang Xinkai mumbled softly, “Perhaps this is what the saying meant by when heaven closes a door, it will open a window for you? This kind of talent to utilise powers is really very strong.”

Li Li took these words to heart and yet did not express anything.

When night almost fell, Wang Xinkai and the group once again found another empty ground to stay for the night. Everyone started to group together to head to the toilet and prepared to rest.

Li Li subconsciously looked towards Lu Shu then walked into the forest without turning back.

He wanted to see if this student would stalk him that day!

According to his guess, Lu Shu had already realised his identity and so, would definitely follow him.

Even if he did not realise, so long Lu Shu dared to follow him, he will trap him in the forest.

Li Li walked quite a distance until it was hard to notice any movement from the empty ground. To Li Li, even if Lu Shu smartly used tactics, he still had a secret weapon!

So long he killed Lu Shu before night fell, this weird forest would cover his tracks for him and hide Lu Shu’s corpse.

Li Li found a tree and squatted down to start drawing symbols. Just then, a slight sound of trees rustling came from behind him. Already nervous, Li Li suddenly stood up and sent his sword towards his back. He had gathered strength for a long while just for this move.

However, when he turned around, he realised that there was nothing behind him.

Li Li relaxed and at that exact moment, Lu Shu’s laughter came from the tree above him, “Mr Li Li, were you looking for me?”

“From Nozo Min’s distress, +999!”
