Chapter 93 - Immeasurable
“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu, but aren’t you afraid of us running away with your money?” Monk Buyi asked.
“You can try, but I can tell you, owing me money won’t be fun,” Lu Xuan answered nonchalantly.
Nobody in the world could owe him money and just get away with it. If the Southern Shaolin Temple actually dared to take his wooden fish and not pay him, he alone would be more than strong enough to raze the entire temple.
He could demand ten to a hundred times what he asked for initially.
“We wouldn’t dare!” Monk Buyi clarified right away. That was not a joking matter. He saw just how terrifying that behemoth of a young man was capable of, after all.
Lu Xuan could have done away with Martial Arts Legends like him as easily as he could squish ants. Martial Arts Legends were hardly any stronger than mere children when dealing with National Guardians.
His brother-in-training was not yet a National Guardian, and even if Master Bushuo had indeed become a National Guardian, he probably would not have been able to take on that young man just yet.
Ming Yueyao then continued, “I’ve miscalculated things this time. I didn’t expect they would have sent a National Guardian to rescue their own, and I almost put all of you in a ditch.”
Ming Yueyao thought about just how lucky she had been as she said that. If it had not been for Lu Xuan being present, all who had been there would have probably ended up dead.
Ming Yueyao continued speaking, seeing as how Yun Sheng chose to stay silent. “You don’t have to say much. I’m the one to be blamed for this. I’ve heard of that Aida Ryosuke as well; one of the three top masters of Japanese swordsmanship, and a monster of immeasurable might.
“If it hadn’t been for Lu Xuan, you all would’ve probably died then and there.”
Yun Sheng opened his mouth, but no words came out. It was just as she put it—they had all indeed been lucky the night before.
“Now that Lu Xuan is a special consultant of the Fu City branch, what do you think of him?” Ming Yueyao asked.
Yun Sheng paused for a long time before commenting, “A young man of immeasurable prowess.”
He had been thinking for quite a long time, and no other response seemed apt.
“I’ve looked into his background, and everything looks normal. From what I was able to see from his records, he was a common guy all the way from elementary school through college. Yet, from the looks of things, he probably inherited some kind of lineage that we didn’t know of, and he has been hiding his training all along.” Yun Sheng continued, “Judging from the prowess and talent he’s showcased so far, he didn’t look like someone who has been training since young. It’s extremely possible that he acquired his lineage after the first Spiritual Tide came.”
Ming Yueyao frowned hard when she heard that. The first Spiritual Tide.
The changes in the world and the restoration of Spiritual Qi had happened since that first Spiritual Tide hit, and it was also since then that formidable people began to appear all over the place.
Martial Arts Legends were beings who were hardly seen once every century, yet there were already several such figures in Southern Min alone.
There were also other cultivators who trained in secret. There were also a great many clans and sects hidden from the world, producing a number of similarly formidable people.
Several years had passed since the first Spiritual Tide hit the world.
