Chapter 20
We commonly see such practitioners around. In fact, they are ones who make up the bulk of martial artists.
Experts like Lin Sheng and Poison Scorpion were as rare as hen’s teeth. They belonged to the group of practitioners who managed to utilize the extent of their studies to the fullest.
4While people like Lin Sheng could carry the fate and responsibilities of their martial sect on their shoulders, people like Li Fei could be better described as outer circle disciples.
However, even outer circle disciples could be considered as masters in the eyes of regular folk.
“Are you also part of the martial arts world, Mr. Lu?” Li Fei asked as he looked at Lu Xuan. While Lu Xuan looked young from his appearance alone, the dominating pressure he had was not something that one could develop within a short time.
Even if he had kept it collected within his body, some people are born to be different from others, even if they were simply standing there.
He was an untainted lotus flower emerging from the mud, an outstanding existence within the common crowd, the crane standing tall among a peck of chickens… Phrases like these were made to describe people like Lu Xuan.
“These two are?” That man asked when he saw Ling Fei and Lu Xuan. His gaze fell on Ling Fei for a short second before he immediately turned to Lu Xuan. Almost instinctively, he could tell that there was something not that simple about Lu Xuan.

While he could not pinpoint what that feeling was, he believed in his gut instinct. It was the sixth sense of a warrior, and most of the time, they proved to be quite accurate.
“This is our junior, Ling Fei, and this is her friend, Mr. Lu Xuan. Mr. Lu Xuan, Ling Fei, this is my senior, Zhang Gang!”
Li Fei introduced them as he stood in the middle.
When Zhang Gang was looking fixedly at Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was also observing Zhang Gang. He quickly concluded that he was an expert who had cultivated to the third level of hidden energy, AnJin.
Zhang Gang should have just broken into the level of AnJin, and so he was not yet adept at suppressing his pressure. However, he was undoubtedly a lot more powerful than Li Fei.
A warrior of his caliber was more than enough to participate as a trump card in a campus competition.
“Nice to meet you!” Zhang Gang greeted.
Ling Fei felt a little amazed. She was used to being the center of attention wherever she went no matter the occasion, but that was not the case today. First, it was Li Fei, and then it was Zhang Gang. Both of them focused their attention on Lu Xuan almost instantly.
1It was like there was an invisible spotlight shining on Lu Xuan, guiding their eyes to notice him at first glance.
However, she did not know that the current Lu Xuan did develop some sort of subtle magnetism towards martial arts practitioners. It was so very slight, that even if they could not pick it up clearly, they could still detect a faint scent of a certain something.
