Chapter 38 State Champion, Respected

The massive screen in the square began to display the final rankings of this examination.

The person who came in the first place was undoubtedly Lu Yu!

Then Wan Guliu stood in front of the array formation and announced to the audience, "The exam is over!"

"The first place goes to student Lu Yu. Let's give him a warm applause!"

1

The entire audience applauded.

"Next, let's watch an exciting moment from student Lu Yu!" Wan Guliu continued.

As he spoke, the big screen began to show a video of Lu Yu destroying half of the mountain with a single punch.

Everyone was mesmerized by the scene and tried to replay it in their minds. The display of such raw power would captivate anyone.

Numerous reporters swarmed in as soon as the exam ended. They all raised their cameras and began filming the big screen before them.

The news of Lu Yu's getting first place naturally spread throughout Riverdale and even the entire Southen Railer State!

Lu Yu was the last to emerge from the array, having won the Battle Royale.

Countless media reporters rushed over frantically, trying to get an exclusive interview with Lu Yu.

However, with a wave of Wan Guliu's hand, a barrier was set up to stop the reporters.

Despite being stopped, the reporters continued to broadcast the news quickly.

"It's unbelievable. The state champion is from Riverdale City!"

1

" A dark horse! Riverdale City's champion is actually an F-level talent holder!"

"What a piece of world-shocking news! An F-level talent could actually get first place!"

"…"

Various headlines appeared on various news websites throughout the country. Almost everyone in Riverdale City knew right away that the top scorer on the state exam was from their city!

Admissions officers from prestigious universities stood up, waiting for an opening. They were waiting for an opportunity to speak with Lu Yu. It would mean a lot if they could persuade him to attend their university!

At that point, a prominent figure emerged from the crowd.

The person who stepped out was the principal, Luo Yue!

He walked to the front of the array and stood beside Lu Yu.

"Today is the most important day in our school's history! Lu Yu, one of our students, has won first place in the entire state!"

2

"This is unprecedented in our school!"

The principal said this with great enthusiasm, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Student Lu Yu, you are the pride of our school!" he said to Lu Yu. "If you have any future requests, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will do everything in my power!"

The principal's unexpected compliment made Lu Yu uncomfortable, but he didn't care much.

He knew the school would celebrate his winning first place, but he was not interested in that.

After all, his goal was to enter Clanorth University.

At that moment, principal Luo Yue's phone rang.

He quickly picked it up and nodded his head. His face beamed with delight!

A short while later, a black car drove in from the school gate!

The car door opened, and the person who stepped out was Liu He, the director of the city's education bureau!

He quickly approached Luo Yue and solemnly announced that he had something to give Lu Yu to commemorate his achievement.Lu Yu's phone rang nonstop on the way home. Many of Lu Yu's former friends messaged him to congratulate him.

Lu Yu turned on his phone and looked through his messages, but he couldn't find his aunt's message.

He knew that if his aunt heard the news, she would immediately message him to congratulate him.

His aunt's condition appeared to have deteriorated…Chapter 39 Increased Strength, New Skill, Dragon Muscles

Lu Yu rushed to the city's central hospital, planning to visit his aunt and tell her about his exam results.

As he approached the hospital entrance, a system notification appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes.

[ Congratulations on obtaining first place in the state. Obtained reward: 30 free attribute points and 15 skill points ]

Lu Yu did not expect the system to reward him for getting first place in the state!

This was also a generous reward. These skill and attribute points could significantly boost his strength!

Just as Lu Yu was delighted, another notification suddenly appeared.

[ Reward Dragon Skill: Dragon Muscles ]

[ Dragon Muscles: A special muscle that can accumulate dragon power. It is the basis for using dragon-type skills in the future. ]

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this new skill. He had finally found a way to gain dragon power.

Even Lu Yu was taken aback by the Dragon Fist's power.

He could continue using Dragon Fist with this new skill in the future!

[ Dragon power accumulation process: Ten ox power equal one tiger power, ten tiger power equal one elephant power, ten elephant power equal one dragon power. ]

Reading the description, Lu Yu frowned slightly. This seemed troublesome.

It seemed that dragon power was not so easy to obtain.

It would be best to use it more carefully in the future.

Then, Lu Yu opened his personal attribute panel.

[ Attack: 300 ]

[ Speed: 200 ]

[ Health: 350 ]

[ Mana: 200 ]

[ Defense: 220 ]

Lu Yu began allocating the 30 attribute points he had just obtained.

After pondering for a short moment, he decided to allocate all of them to his attack. Claw Attack was an offensive talent, so increasing his attack power would be more appropriate.

Lu Yu then opened his skill panel.

[ Normal Skills: Armor Penetration Lv5, Grappling Lv2, Split Claw Lv2, Double Jump Lv2, Strong Wall Lv1 ]

[ Dragon Skills: Dragon Scales Lv1, Flaming Claw Lv1, Dragon Muscles Lv1 ]

[ Special Dragon Skills: Dragon Fist (grows stronger with overall strength) ]

Lu Yu now had 15 skill enhancement points. He would still have more than enough to upgrade his skills by one level.

He had a bold guess. What would happen if he put all of them onto one skill?

He clicked on Armor Penetration to check the effect of its next level.

However, the effect was no longer to increase the reduction of the enemy's defense but to increase the damage dealt by penetration instead.

This bit of damage was negligible to Lu Yu.

Hence, Lu Yu looked at the Strong Wall. It could increase the defense timer by half a second after leveling up!

He could avoid even more damage with 1.5 seconds of damage reduction.

As a result, Lu Yu immediately upgraded the Strong Wall to level 4!

[ Strong Wall: Block 90% of damage. Duration: 2.5 seconds ]

The defense timer would not increase any further after level 4. Instead, it would block 91% of the damage.

Only the first few times a skill was strengthened appeared to provide a significant benefit. It was most likely a rookie benefit…

For the time being, there was no need for Split Claw anymore. With his new AOE skill, Flaming Claw, Split Claw was no longer as important.

7

Grappling was also useless for the time being. Although it was very effective at identifying weak points, Lu Yu would not have to worry about the weaknesses of the enemies he was currently facing.

Just like the Giant Flame Lizard from before, Lu Yu did not need to use Grappling at all. He could end the battle with just a few attacks.

In that case, he needed to focus on strengthening his Double Jump. Double Jump was a very crucial skill, being Lu Yu's only movement skill."Hello, doctor. Have you found out the cause of my aunt's illness?"

The attending doctor nodded slightly. "That's correct. We finally discovered the cause of your aunt's illness thanks to the efforts of our team."

"This illness that she has comes from your family!"

Lu Yu was stunned to hear the word "family." The cause of her illness was related to their family?

Chapter 40 Mysterious Bloodline, Heading To Ixdale

Lu Yu was perplexed by the attending doctor's words for a brief moment. How could his aunt's illness have anything to do with their family?

"Doctor, are you sure? Why is this illness related to our family?"

The doctor let out a long sigh. "The cause of your aunt's illness an issue from her family's bloodline!"

"This is an extremely rare and special bloodline, but she has yet to awaken it. This is the heart of the problem."

"That is to say, my aunt did not awaken when she should have awakened, which is why she has this problem?" Lu Yu gradually realized what the doctor meant.

2

"More or less. She has yet to awaken her bloodline, causing energy to accumulate in her body, which is also why she entered a coma."

"Then, is there a treatment plan? Anything that can help my aunt complete her awakening or help her release the energy in her body should be fine, right?"

1

The doctor frowned with a mixed expression. "Your aunt has already passed the age of awakening her talent. This treatment option shouldn't be possible."

"It is also impossible to release this mysterious power in her using modern day technologies."

Lu Yu was conflicted after hearing this. "Doesn't that imply that my aunt will be in a coma for the rest of her life?"

The doctor shook his head. "I'm just saying that I can't do anything about it, but that doesn't mean that the other leading doctors in their field can't do anything about it."

"If she is in the capital, Ixdale, the top medical institutions there should have better methods."

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At the very least, there was a glimmer of hope.

Even if they were far away from Ixdale and needed to spend on the expensive medical facilities there, at least there was a path that Lu Yu could take.

He did not want to see his aunt working hard all her life and spending her old age lying on a hospital bed.

Liu Yi had always treated him as her own son. She even worked several jobs for Lu Yu to get into an excellent high school.

How could Lu Yu abandon her now that he had finally made a name for himself?

No matter how difficult this path was, Lu Yu had to walk it with her!

At that moment, the doctor looked at his phone and then at Lu Yu. Then, he opened his mouth wide.

"You… you're the top scorer on the state college entrance exam, Lu Yu?"

Lu Yu was somewhat speechless. This doctor appears to be ill-informed.

"That's right, it's me."

"Wow, your video went viral on the Internet. The scene of you smashing a mountain with one punch shocked a lot of people!"

Lu Yu, on the other hand, was unconcerned. "Those things don't matter to me."

"I had no idea I'd be able to meet a superstar right here!"

The doctor's excited expression left Lu Yu speechless.

1

"Could you please put me in touch with a hospital in Ixdale? I'd like to transfer my aunt to a different hospital."

1

The doctor calmed down and thoughtfully answered, "No problem. I'll help you to contact…"

He turned around and was about to leave when the ward door was pushed open unexpectedly. A half-bald older man wearing a white coat entered the room.

When the doctor saw the half-bald guy, he immediately bowed and greeted him respectfully, "Director, you're here!"

Lu Yu was surprised that the director of Riverdale Central Hospital came over personally.

When the director saw Lu Yu, he immediately walked over with a smile.

"Lu Yu, you're Lu Yu!"

"The top scholar in the state, you're really here!" The director said emotionally.

1

"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yu asked.

The director repeatedly nodded. "Of course. I just received a call from the city's higher-ups. They want me to help you solve all your worries so that you can go to Clanorth University!"

Hearing this, the doctor beside him became excited again.

"What? Clanorth University? Lu Yu is actually going to Clanorth University? Our Riverdale City finally has a genius who could enter Clanorth University!"

The director glared at him. "What are you so excited about? It would be strange if Lu Yu did not attend Clanorth University based on his results!"

However, Lu Yu's focus was not on Clanorth University.

He knew that his results were in line with Clanorth University, and it was foreseen that he would be accepted.

"Mr. Director, you said you'd help me solve all my problems?"

The director nodded heavily. "That's right. If you have any requests or difficulties, just let me know!"

"OK, my only concern is my aunt. She is critically ill and requires treatment at Ixdale's medical institution."

1

The director nodded without hesitation as he looked at the woman lying on the bed. "No worries. I'll contact the best hospital in Ixdale right away and arrange for a transfer!"

Thus, he made a call. After a few exchanges, the other side agreed to the request.

"Lu Yu, I have already contacted Ixdale Central Hospital. We can arrange for a transfer immediately!"

"Then, let's get started right away. I don't want to delay my aunt's illness any longer."

"Of course, I'll make the necessary arrangements right away!"

Soon, a helicopter slowly landed on the helipad on the roof of Riverdale City Hospital.

A few nurses pushed the hospital bed and carried Liu Yi onto the helicopter.

Lu Yu followed them into the helicopter's cabin.

The helicopter took off and flew toward Ixdale.Lu Yu looked through the glass at the increasingly distant Riverdale and silently said goodbye in his heart.

He held Liu Yi's hand and slowly fell asleep.

4

The sky was already dark when Lu Yu opened his eyes again, and the noise of the propellers had stopped.

The cabin door opened, and the pilot said, "Student Lu Yu, we have successfully arrived in Ixdale. We are currently at the helipad of Ixdale Central Hospital."

When Lu Yu looked outside, he noticed a group of nurses and doctors in white coats gathered around him.

They carefully opened the cabin door and carried Liu Yi out of the helicopter.

A bald, middle-aged man walked over to Lu Yu and shook his hand.

"Lu Yu, I am the hospital's director. We have already come up with a preliminary plan for Liu Yi's illness. You don't have to worry about her and can go to school in peace."

Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh silently in relief as he heard this. As expected of Ixdale Central Hospital, they came up with a solution immediately.

"Is that so? Then can I listen to the details of this plan?"

The director said confidently, "Of course. Follow me."

Everyone walked down from the roof and arrived at the conference room on the sixth floor.

A group of top-notch doctors was sitting there, discussing Liu Yi's condition.

After Lu Yu walked in, they began to report on their final solution.

"Regarding the solution to Liu Yi's condition, we already have the specific procedures for her treatment."

"The first method is to force the awakening of her bloodline. The process is more complicated, the conditions are more demanding, and the success rate is lower."

"The second method is to separate the bloodline from Liu Yi's body. This mysterious bloodline that contains a huge amount of energy can only be fused with people who are close to Liu Yi."

"Unfortunately, it seems that Liu Yi's physical fitness can not withstand such a terrifying power, so we all agree that even if the bloodline is awakened, she will not be able to withstand it."

After listening to the doctors' plan, Lu Yu fell into deep thought. Wasn't he the one here who was related to Liu Yi by blood?

Chapter 41 The Path To University

Lu Yu had no idea what the doctors were talking about.

He had never heard his aunt mention that she possessed a bloodline, not to mention what this bloodline was.

However, since the doctors said this bloodline contained a terrifying power, it shouldn't be too bad.

Of course, the most important thing was that this bloodline had the possibility of fusing with him.

When the time comes, he might be able to obtain some kind of powerful ability.

"Then when can the surgery begin?" Lu Yu asked.

He didn't want to wait anymore. His aunt had been suffering from this pain for far too long, and he didn't want to see his aunt suffer from this pain any longer.

The attending doctor stood up and said solemnly, "We can't be sure about the exact date of the surgery."

"We have only come up with a temporary plan for the treatment, so we still need to make preparations for the specific implementation."

"We need some surgical supplies to increase the chances of success of this surgery."

"We will gather these supplies as soon as possible. Please rest assured. Once they are ready, we will contact you immediately and start the surgery!"

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "Alright, then I will hand her over to you."

The hospital's director stood up and looked at Lu Yu. "Don't worry. We represent the best hospital in the country. We'll definitely be able to cure your aunt's illness."

After saying that, he picked up a package beside the table.

"Lu Yu, Clanorth University heard that you were coming here today. Thus, they sent the acceptance letter over in advance. Open it and take a look."

As he said that, the director handed the package to Lu Yu.

After reaching out to take it, Lu Yu carefully opened the package and took out the beautifully made acceptance letter.

On the cover were printed the gates of Clanorth University. There was only one page to the acceptance letter, but it felt heavy in his hands.

Everyone turned their gaze and looked over.

As top-notch doctors, they had seen a lot. But this was the first time they had seen an acceptance letter from Clanorth University.

Lu Yu gently opened the acceptance letter under everyone's gaze.

As Lu Yu opened the notice, an origami-folded paper inside stood up.

When he completely opened the notice, the paper-made gates of Clanorth University stood upright and vivid-looking on the letter.

Everyone looked over curiously. They could only find videos on the internet of what the acceptance letter from Clanorth University looked like.

However, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still sighed at the exquisite workmanship of the letter.

At that moment, a ray of light flashed and was projected into the air.

Immediately after, a screen of light appeared. The holographic screen showed an old man.

The old man looked at Lu Yu and said slowly, "I am the principal of Clanorth University. Welcome to the big family of Clanorth University. The future belongs to you, young people."

The scene ended, and the light faded.

However, the doctors beside them were excited when they saw this.

"The principal of Clanorth University recorded the welcome video personally. It's such an honor."

"I envy Lu Yu. To be able to enter Clanorth University, his future cannot be underestimated."

"Isn't that nonsense? Did anyone who entered Clanorth University turn out to be an ordinary person?"

"Sigh, if I had worked harder back then, I would probably have received a welcome from the principal of Clanorth University as well…"

Everyone looked at Lu Yu with envious eyes. Then, they sighed enviously.

Lu Yu closed the acceptance letter from Clanorth University and stood up to look at them.

"Then I'll be leaving first. It's time to report to the university."

The director stood up to send him off. "Alright then. As soon as there's any news from your aunt, I'll contact you immediately."

Lu Yu walked out of the hospital under the director's respectful escort.

He came to the roadside and stopped a taxi.

After getting into the vehicle, Lu Yu said, "Sir, to Clanorth University, please."

The driver looked at Lu Yu in surprise. "You're a student at Clanorth University?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly.

"I'm sure lucky today to drive a top student there!"

The driver stepped on the accelerator excitedly. The car drove out and headed in the direction of Clanorth University.

The location of the university was not inside the city. It was far away, at the edge of the city. There was a long distance from here to there.

The car soon drove out of the city and along a rural, suburban road.

The car stopped before a checkpoint, and they got off for inspection.

After Lu Yu got off the car, he saw a sign not far away that said "Clanorth Road".

Lu Yu knew this road only led to one place, Clanorth University.

At that moment, a man who was guarding the station walked over.

"Hello, Please show your student ID, work ID, or teacher ID from Clanorth University. Otherwise, you can't enter."

Lu Yu shook his head, "I don't have any of these."

The driver next to him frowned, "What? I thought you were a student there…"

Lu Yu then took out the admission letter.

The driver's eyes widened, "Oh right! I made a mistake, my friend. When you become a big shot in the future, don't hold a grudge against me."

The students of Clanorth University were greatly respected in the outside world.

This was because, as long as the students graduated, they would all belong to the upper class of society.The man guarding the entrance took the admission letter and checked for its authenticity before nodding his head.

"It's a real one. However, there is a rule for new students to go to Clanorth University. The rule is that they must walk through Braveheart Canyon."

When the taxi driver heard this, he was filled with sadness.

Lu Yu looked into the distance and saw the canyon far away.

It was apparent enough that the canyon must be extremely dangerous. An ordinary person would not be able to pass through it.

However, there was no way that Lu Yu would turn around. He readily agreed.

"No problem. I will walk there."

The guard nodded and opened the gates.

Lu Yu walked through the gates, and from here, he had to travel on foot.

Behind him was the bustling and beautiful Ixdale.

In front of him was a large barren area with wild beasts roaming about and danger lurking everywhere.

Lu Yu was not afraid at all. He trekked forward quickly.

It was evident that this was a test before he could enter the school. If he could not even pass this test, he would have to bid farewell to the number one university in the country.

Three figures were moving quickly on the plain as Lu Yu moved forward, not far ahead.

The three of them were dressed in white cotton clothes. On the cotton clothes, there were exquisite and artistic gilt patterns. The weapons in their hands were all inlaid with pure gemstones of various colors.

Looking at these three, anyone could tell they weren't ordinary people.

In this desolate and lonely plain, there were only three people besides Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's progress was quick. It would not be long before he could catch up with the three people.

Among the three people, the leader was a young girl.

The young girl had a long ponytail that reached her waist, dancing in the wind. On her stunning petite face, there was clean and minimal makeup.

Her every movement exuded an elegant aura.

With just a glance, one could tell that she was definitely the daughter of a wealthy family.

Chapter 42 Encounter Secret Realm, Fourth Person, Lu Yu

Far away from Ixdale, a group of three people were advancing by foot on a desolate plain.

In the middle of the three was a young girl. From her makeup and her movements, it could be seen that she came from an impressive background.

It was very likely that she was the young lady of a large family clan.

As for the two people beside her, one of them was an old man with white hair and a beard.

The other was a young woman. She was dressed rather plainly and held a short sword in her hand as she looked around vigilantly.

From the looks of it, she should be the maid to the young lady, someone in charge of protecting her.

The three continued forward for some distance before the young lady stopped and frowned slightly.

"Butler Lin, how far is it from Clanorth University?"

The elderly man beside her quickly replied, "Miss Yun, it will take about half a day. If we move quicker, we will definitely be able to arrive before nightfall."

Yun Zirou nodded slightly and looked at the maid beside her.

"Xiao Qing, did you sense any danger nearby?"

The maid said with a serious expression. "There isn't any danger for the time being. Let's continue forward. The real test should begin in the canyon."

"But miss, don't worry. We will ensure your safe arrival."

However, Yun Zirou snorted disdainfully when she heard these words. "This is my test. There's no need for you to act."

"Unless my life is in danger, the two of you are not allowed to help me!"

Yun Zirou's unquestionable tone made the two of them nod helplessly.

The two of them were much stronger than her. They could effortlessly escort her over.

Although Yun Zirou was born into a noble family, she was not pretentious. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by Clanorth University.

The three of them continued forward and gradually approached the vast canyon.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing seemed to have sensed something. With a swoosh, she appeared in front of Yun Zirou and protected her.

Seeing this, Yun Zirou hurriedly asked, "Xiao Qing, is there anything wrong?"

She nodded. "I sensed a powerful force, but the details are still unknown. We'd better be careful."

Yun Zirou walked over and continued to move forward.

"Even if there's danger ahead, I have to face it. Otherwise, this test will be meaningless."

Xiao Qing felt helpless and could only continue to follow. She got even more cautious, constantly sensing the dangers around them.

After continuously moving forward, Xiao Qing saw a hillside not far ahead.

She suddenly realized something and quickly said, "I finally understand the source of this energy. It is from this hillside!"

"If I'm not wrong, this is a secret realm with bountiful opportunities. The energy I sensed emitted from there."

Butler Lin, who was beside her, quickly nodded. "That's right. I've encountered many fortuitous secret realms like this distributed in the wild. As long as you enter them, you can obtain countless lucky opportunities. It's enough to change a person's life."

Hearing their words, Yun Zirou's interest was immediately piqued. She quickly ran towards the fortuitous secret realm.

The two of them quickly followed, and the three of them arrived in front of the mountain slope.

The mountain slope was about two stories high, and there was a cave at the bottom of the mountain. The cave entrance was pitch-black, and they could not see the end of it.

When the three approached the cave, a notification box popped up before the entrance.

[ Do you wish to open the fortuitous secret realm? ]

Xiao Qing and Butler Lin both looked at Yun Zirou. She was the one who needed to make the decision.

Yun Zirou did not hesitate at all and immediately chose yes.

[ Fail to open. Minimum requirement: four people. ]

The three of them looked at each other and were speechless.

"What? We need four people to open it?"

Yun Zirou was a little unhappy. It wasn't easy for her to come across a fortuitous secret realm, and she did not expect to be unable to open it because of the number of people.

The three of them sighed helplessly. Xiao Qing suggested, "Miss, why don't I go back and call someone over?"

Butler Lin agreed. "That's right. Xiao Qing's movement speed is quick. She can go back very quickly."

At that moment, Yun Zirou looked at the entrance of the secret realm. A timer was displayed on it. It was the countdown to the closure of the secret realm.

"There's only ten minutes. Such a short time shouldn't be enough to get someone, right?"

Yun Zirou looked at Xiao Qing and asked, "Ten minutes, is that enough?"

Xiao Qing nodded heavily to Yun Zirou's hopeful eyes. "I'll try my best, and I'll definitely complete it!"

However, Butler Lin stopped her before she could go. "Don't try it. You can't make a round trip in ten minutes, no matter how fast you are."

Then, Butler Lin looked at Yun Zirou with a bit of pity. "Why don't we continue moving forward? I don't think we're fated to enter this secret realm."

Yun Zirou looked conflicted and finally thought of a solution.

"Why don't we wait here for ten minutes? If we can wait for a stranger, won't we have a chance to enter the secret realm?"

This was the only solution she could think of, although it was a slim hope.

Butler Lin sighed helplessly again. "Miss, there are high-level ferocious beasts nearby. Ordinary people won't come here, not to mention that this place is so hidden…"

"I feel that even if we wait here for ten minutes, no one will come. Instead, it will delay the progress of your admission."

The butler's words made Yun Zirou fall into deep thought.

"But, I don't want to let go of this opportunity to make myself stronger!"Yun Zirou was very unwilling.

Butler Lin quickly comforted her, "Miss, when you enter Clanorth University, there will be plenty of opportunities to make you stronger."

"Alright, it's fine that I've missed this opportunity. No matter what happens next time, I must seize it! "

Yun Zirou's face was determined as she clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with resolve.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, Xiao Qing suddenly said in a low voice, "Miss, wait. I heard movement!"

Yun Zirou quickly asked, "Is it a ferocious beast? It's a good opportunity for me to practice!"

Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, "No… it seems to be a person's footsteps!"

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and then Yun Zirou became excited.

"Are you serious? Did you hear the footsteps of a person? How far is it?"

"It's about two hundred meters. The surrounding weeds are tall, so I can't see the person for now."

Yun Zirou looked around excitedly.

The appearance of this stranger meant that they had met the requirements to enter the secret realm!

The three of them realized the implication and looked toward the sound of the footsteps.

Slowly, they saw a figure walking out of the weeds.

Lu Yu's figure walked out and appeared in front of the three of them.

The three of them were a little stunned when they saw Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked relatively young. He did not look like someone who would stroll around such a high-level area.

Yun Zirou guessed Lu Yu's identity. It was very likely that he was doing a mission from the black market and was here to collect materials.

However, what identity he had wasn't important. They just needed an extra headcount. Who cared about what identity he had?

Moreover, the prowess of the two people with Yun Zirou was not ordinary. Why would they be afraid of a stranger who was alone on a mission?
