Once the person who greeted Chen Zuan left, Chen Zuan immediately turned to Lu Shu and spoke softly, “Do you mind, Brother Shu? Please save me some face. I told them I killed a spy in the remains, which is the truth…”
“Of course I don’t mind,” Lu Shu grinned. That could be considered as after-sale service. No problem at all!
Within a few minutes, the message that Chen Zuan was there with a pro of about the same level as him soon spread to the entire audience at the combat venue.
In practice, the people there were mainly students. Even the Practitioners belonged to the Daoyuan Class. Those from the Heavenly Network were not so free but Daoyuan students were slightly slacker. Moreover, it was still during summer holidays then.
Thus, the average standard of the Practitioners there was relatively low, making Chen Zuan, who had just ascended to Class D, a competent expert.
Most of the girls there came from prestigious families. Instead of celebrities, they were more attracted to Practitioners.
Nowadays, actual combat using martial arts could bring about a sense of street fighting. Since the fighters were all ordinary people, their strength, speed and reaction time were not quite up to standard. Hence, the combat were not as aesthetic as those on movie screens.
No speed or strength and no beauty in violence.
But Practitioners were different. They did not aim to kill. Yet their serious fighting scenes were very worth watching.
However, those were not up to Lu Shu’s taste. If he really wanted to fight, he would not even let his enemies get close. A lance would settle his opponents for him. When his rival finally got closer, haha, they still could not defeat him.
Some people came over to see them upon receiving the message of Chen Zuan’s arrival. Unexpectedly, most were girls. But they only came to say hi, not to get intimate or anything.
But the very fact that a boy wanted girls to take the initiative to greet him was already problematic.
Lu Shu remained unaware that Chen Zuan seemed to enjoy a high position here. No wonder he risked his life in the Salt Lake remains for military achievements.
In addition to large combat platforms, there were stacks of neatly arranged white towels at the side as well. A group of waiters and waitresses served the teenagers with fruit platters, dried fruits and beverages.
With Chen Zuan surrounded, Lu Shu made his own way to the food. He had not eaten anything since noon and now his bag had been confiscated too.
Instinctively, the city felt unsafe to him, as though he was under constant surveillance. In any case, it would not make sense if the Heavenly Network had simply dumped them there without it.
Hence, Lu Shu had no opportunity to conjure some food out of thin air. Now, his hunger had set in.
After having some fruit, he started watching the matches on stage with a handful of melon seeds.
The fighters were a girl and a boy. It seemed that the girl was better than her opponent, her power about the peak of Class E.
Both parties were actively engaged in combat. Although it was quite interesting to watch, Lu Shu had no interest at all. He was still thinking about the cute night party girls in revealing clothes. But all jokes aside, the girl on stage was pretty good-looking.
Lu Shu was planning to muddle along with Chen Zuan for the remaining 15 days. At the end of the day, he would not even mind if Nie Ting sent him back to Luo Cheng directly without meeting him.
Suddenly, he heard a loud cheer for the huge boxing ring, “Let’s go Wenxin, let’s go!”
It was obviously for the girl. Was her name Wenxin? It took Lu Shu several minutes before he finally deciphered that it was actually Xu Wenxin.
At that moment, the girl named Xu Wenxin suddenly lowered her waist and raised her elbow and heavily punched the boy’s stomach. Game over!
Lu Shu was impressed. Not only was she better in terms of her power, her skills and techniques were much stronger too.
But, she was still too weak for Lu Shu.
After she got off the stage, her supporters quickly passed towels and water to her. Someone made a concluding statement, “Wenxin, your last blow was brilliant!”
It was Chen Zuan…
However, Xu Wenxin completely ignored him. Awkward.
Cracking his melon seeds, Lu Shu felt sorry, as if something was missing. Oh, right. Soft drinks were missing.
While he was supposed to be the new expert brought in by Chen Zuan, Lu Shu had perfectly transitioned to an onlooker. Maybe that was one of his gifts too.
To everyone’s surprise, Xu Wenxin suddenly walked towards Lu Shu. Even Chen Zuan himself was shocked to see Wenxin extend her beautiful hand to the latter.
Lu Shu was stunned too. After musing for a few seconds, he put the remaining melon seeds in her hand…
“From Xu Wenxin’s distress, +199…”
It was beyond expectation that Xu Wenxin would shake hands with the stranger first, and what was even more shocking was that this stranger stuffed her hand with melon seeds…
In that instance, the supposed handshake turned weird, where Xu Wenxin was now seemingly asking Lu Shu for melon seeds like a child…
That was Xu Wenxin, for God’s sake!
Xu Wenxin’s family background was one of the top few among those present. But this was not important. Besides her pretty appearance, ever since the regeneration of her Spirit Qi, countless male students had fallen for her undisguised obsession with strength.
It was indeed a headache that she would not rest until she had a fight everyday. Never a sweet, loving girl, Xu Wenxin had been equally fierce to any student, thwarting all her pursuers.
But the more she was like this, the more they wanted to chase.
Honestly speaking, it was the first time that someone initiated a handshake with Lu Shu in his entire life. When she reached out to him, he racked his brains but still could not figure out why. Utterly confused about why she was provoked by his melon seeds, he made a generous move to give her all he had…
Everyone else was completely dumbfounded. Who the hell asked you for your melon seeds?!
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +399!”
“From…”
“From…”
Lu Shu lit up, this bunch of kids had great potential too!
Astonishingly, Xu Wenxin really accepted the melon seeds and sat down beside Lu Shu. She asked as she was eating the seeds, “Judging from your expression just now, you seemed unimpressed with our combat?”
“Not at all,” Lu Shu grabbed another handful of seeds, “It’s very commendable for people of your level to fight such a combat.”
All those around shuddered. Apparently his reply was very condescending.
Chen Zuan was silently cursing aside. Wasn’t it true? This guy used to chase an injured Class B monster all around the woods…
