Chapter 60
A look of appreciation flashed through Lu Xuan’s eyes. This man was still thinking logically and knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
He was part of the group that came to kill Lu Xuan, and he deserved to die in return. If Lu Xuan were going to spare him, it would naturally come at a heavy price.
“It’s very simple. From today onwards, you will serve me!” Lu Xuan said lightly.
“You actually want me to become your servant?” For a moment, Zhang Hongyang struggled to catch his breath.
He was a formidable level six Mental Strength master and was even more esteemed than a master of the Martial Way at the same level. No matter where he went, he would be treated as an honored guest, yet now he was asked to become a lowly servant.
The key factor here was that from Lu Xuan’s countenance, he clearly believed Zhang Hongyang would be a fool not to accept such a great offer.
It was as though he thought nothing of him.
It made him want to vomit blood, as Lu Xuan was essentially trampling his pride underfoot, viciously stamping it into the ground.
There was no way to defend himself from the mark.
His life now was quite literally at the mercy of Lu Xuan.
He understood the consequences, and even though he did not know how Lu Xuan accomplished this, he had to accept that this was his new lot in life.
Zhang Hongyang had been completely backed into a corner, so even though he had just signed a binding blood contract, he heaved a huge sigh of relief because he knew he was safe for the moment.
Lu Xuan would not casually kill him.
“Very good!”
Lu Xuan nodded his head. He did not believe in verbal promises, as he had been betrayed too many times in his past life. He only trusted the master-servant contract.
With this contract in place, Zhang Hongyang would not be able to betray him, and even the thought of treachery would bring him intense pain, enough to kill a man.
The contract was something Lu Xuan had devised through his myriad experiences in his past life.
“Now that you have thrown in your lot with me, you’re one of us now, and naturally, I won’t treat you badly. You must remember this mantra carefully!”
Lu Xuan poked Zhang Hongyang on the forehead, and instantly Zhang Hongyang felt a rush of Mental Strength entering his mind through Lu Xuan’s finger.
At the same time, a mantra mysteriously surfaced in his mind.
He was shaken to his core. Was this the legendary empowerment technique?
Even as a master in Mental Strength, he knew how difficult it was to perform an empowerment, and thought it was practically impossible.
One would need to have vast stores of Mental Strength, and more importantly, a complete mastery of how to utilize one’s Mental Strength.
However, he did not have the time to think about it, as he was instantly overjoyed at seeing the mantra. It was a mantra for leveling up, which was exactly what he needed.
The mantra explained how to break into the next level and become a National Guardian level master.
Once he was able to condense his Mental Strength and transform it into physical objects, he would be able to proceed to make a breakthrough, becoming a level seven National Guardian level master.
