Chapter 32

Although they all had high confidence in heavy firearms, what Lu Xuan showed on the field was simply too shocking.
Behind the main entrance, Lin Sheng watched as Lu Xuan walked through the manor like he was strolling a garden. Even if he threw a shot offhanded, he would still kill an assassin of Hellfire.
All Lin Sheng felt was fear.
Back then, when Lu Xuan had killed Higashigawa Taro with no trouble, he was already astounded once. However, he now realized that he had still underestimated the prowess of a martial arts legend.
A martial arts legend was practically untouchable even when fighting bare-fisted, and one could only imagine how powerful they would be when armed to the teeth. It might be possible for them to go up against a battalion, or even a regiment, all by themselves.
1A martial arts legend with a weapon was the true epitome of terror. If they had been unarmed, it might be difficult for them to use even half of their real strength.
“Such humans are superhumans, and they should cooperate with our research. If these masters were to join us, our research in cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds!”
An admiral demanded as he slammed the table.
“How do you intend for them to join then? Arm them with the equipment of the special ops, and no one could ever stand up against them in the warzone. Did you think that it would be possible to make someone like that to comply with our research fully? To let us study the secret to his overwhelming strength?”
Of course, some disagreed.
“Also, he could have laid low and stayed under the radar, yet he chose not to. Wasn’t that a clear warning for us to steer clear from their affairs?”
The admiral who suggested for Lu Xuan to “join ” them turned red with embarrassed anger.
“We could control his parents and his kin, then! I don’t believe that he is without weakness!”
Before he could finish, Yun Sheng immediately cut him off, “Times have changed, and some rules ought to be changed as well. More and more people like Lu Xuan would only surface overtime. It might be possible to control one of them, but can we control them all? What you’re suggesting is essentially putting us on the opposing side of all of the Awakened!
“It is impossible to defeat them, and so that leaves us with only one choice: bring them to our side. Also, Lu Xuan did not display any anti-societal inclinations, nor did he use his powers to commit crimes. I believe that he is someone whom we can try to buy over to our camp. We, the Agency of Special Affairs, need a powerhouse like him to join us. Within and beyond our country, all sorts of awakenings and invasions are going on every day. There is a pressing need for someone this powerful to keep watch!” Yun Sheng was scarily stern. “I don’t care what ideas the military has in mind. But no matter what operation you plan to carry out, you must not bypass my authority. In this country, we are in charge of all matters concerning the cultivators!”
Upon finishing his piece, Yun Sheng turned and left the secret chamber.
