Simultaneous Transmigration: My Strength Comes Entirely from My Own

Page 15

Feng Zhenghao became one of the Ten Elders because he was rich and skilled at interpersonal relationships. In short, he was smart and had a lot of connections, and he had almost won over most of the independent cultivators in the world of supernatural beings.

As for Ruhu, it's simply because he's good at fighting. That's how it is with those who practice external martial arts – they can fight and endure being hit. They can fight you for days and nights until your Qi is exhausted, and theirs will be exhausted too. But they can still kill you with a single punch using only their physical body.

Luke, who also practices physical training, is considered one of the best among the younger generation in the company's records. Over the years, he has challenged many masters, including even the formidable Ru Hu, though he always failed.

What Xu Si didn't know was that his information was outdated. The challenge against Ru Hu was three years ago, when Luke had just started college. He fought Ru Hu for a hundred moves before finally being defeated.

Luke didn't know if Ru Hu had held back then, but he was certain that now that he had integrated the cultivation of the three worlds and his life force had increased dramatically, if he were to fight Ru Hu again, it wouldn't be a question of whether he could survive Ru Hu's hundred moves, but whether Ru Hu could withstand his hundred moves.

After hearing Xu Si's evaluation of Luke, Zhang Chulan seemed to be deep in thought, and then he suppressed his thoughts.

The known information is too limited, but if the opponent is also screaming at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, then they are undoubtedly a formidable foe.

"Sister Bao'er, can you beat that guy?"

Seeing that Luke had his back to him, Zhang Chulan quickly pointed at him and asked Feng Baobao, who was still thinking about the pearl, agate, and glass beads of the great monk, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao looked up at Luke's back and said in a cute, innocent way.

"That kid's pretty fierce, I don't think I can handle him? How about I go and give him a go tonight?"

Feng Baobao was somewhat eager to try, but as for fear, sorry, Feng Baobao didn't have such feelings; she was a very upright and indifferent person.

This kind of indifference is not a derogatory term, but rather describes Feng Baobao's personality. Feng Baobao has a truly innocent heart, as pure as crystal. She may seem silly and cute, but she is actually very perceptive. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to perceive Luke's strength.

"call!"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Xu Si, who was usually carefree, became serious.

“Baby also thinks he’s fierce. This is troublesome. I wonder what his purpose is. Is it to become a Taoist master? Maybe we should find someone to ambush this kid. If the few of us work together, we should be able to take him down. We just need to be discreet.”

Xu Si wasn't joking; he was genuinely planning to do it.

In their eyes, only Zhang Chulan, after becoming a Celestial Master, could find clues about Feng Baobao's background. For Feng Baobao's sake, Xu Si would grit his teeth and do it even if it meant hitting someone with a club. He could always apologize later and shift the blame onto Zhang Chulan.

"Brother, aren't you going a bit too far? I didn't offend you, did I?"

However, as soon as Xu Si finished speaking, a hand landed on his shoulder, like an iron clamp, and Xu Si felt as if his shoulder blade was about to shatter.

"Wow!!!"

Xu Si was truly terrified; how could this person have appeared behind him in the blink of an eye?

"Brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

When Zhang Chulan saw Luke appear behind Xu Si in an instant, his jaw almost dropped. He had only been in the world of superhumans for a few days, and he had never seen such a swift movement technique before.

However, the kid reacted quickly, immediately putting on a fawning smile and laughing it off.

On the other side, Feng Baobao's hair stood on end, and she assumed a defensive posture. Zhang Chulan quickly went over and pulled her away.

"Sister Bao'er, don't hit her. It's all a misunderstanding. We'll clear things up once we explain."

"Kid, you'd better let me go. Attacking a company executive without cause is a crime that will land you in jail. Even Old Master Lu can't protect you."

Despite the excruciating pain in his shoulder blade, Xu Si spoke.

This is not a threat, but an assertion of a fact. As the person in charge of all affairs in the world of supernatural beings, although the supernatural beings call him a troublemaker, his position undoubtedly represents the country. At any time, it is never a wise choice for an individual to provoke the country.

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I attack you? Na Du Tong is a legitimate company. We don't frame people. You know, I know people at Na Du Tong too."

Luke sensed that Xu Si had already channeled his Qi and was preparing to resist, so he smiled and retorted, while simultaneously channeling his Qi to suppress Xu Si.

"I've known Sister Ren Fei for a long time. She always talks about you, saying you're a real troublemaker. And seeing you today, it's true!"

Ren Fei is the head of the Central China region for Nadutong Company. She is suspected to be a descendant of a founding father, with a powerful background that even the Gao family of Northeast China, one of the four major families, cannot compare to.

In terms of resources she can allocate and her understanding of confidential matters, she ranks among the top in the company.

She has a very close relationship with the military. Hei Guan, a temporary worker in Central China, once caused a major disaster because he could not control his acquired supernatural ability. He was later transferred to Ren Fei by the military.

Ren Fei is aloof and has exceptional charm; even Xu Si is attracted to her, but the two only have a good working relationship.

To be precise, Xu Si liked Ren Fei in a romantic way, not because he was attracted to Ren Fei's background, but simply because he liked Ren Fei as a person.

"Hey, it turns out you're one of us. Why didn't you say so earlier, brother?"

Xu Si suddenly changed his expression and started trying to get closer to him.

Luke finally released Xu Si's shoulder and said calmly, "Don't bother. I'm not one of them. I'm not from the company. I just got into a fight with one of Ren Fei's temporary workers and we have some connection. You can try to trap me and ambush me."

Why did Luke suddenly come over?

It's all because he overheard Xu Si's words. Luke has never been a good-tempered person. I didn't provoke you, but you came to provoke me. Do you really think you're easy to bully?

Of course, he knew that Xu Si was just talking nonsense and wouldn't actually do it, but he couldn't just talk about it. Did Xu Si really think he had no temper?

Well, this might also be one of the reasons why Luke wanted to get in touch with Feng Baobao.

"Hey, do you think I'm kidding? Where is this? This is Longhu Mountain. Putting a sack over your head in front of the Celestial Master? I'd be courting death!"

Xu Si's lips twitched. Even if he really thought that way, he couldn't admit it, otherwise wouldn't he be giving others something to talk about?

Luke didn't delve into it; it was just a sentence, and the lesson he had just learned was enough.

"Then it seems I misunderstood. You too, you can't keep your mouth shut. No wonder you haven't succeeded in pursuing Sister Ren Fei for so many years. You need to change your temper."

Luke gently patted Xu Si on the shoulder, making him grimace for a moment before speaking with a warm smile.

Xu Si gave an awkward smile and remained silent. How could he not know why Ren Fei hadn't accepted him?

Of course he knew that it was just that he had a better relationship with technician number eight. What was the big deal? What man doesn't have a technician he had a good relationship with?

Of course, Zhang Chulan doesn't count. After all, he can't even do the flag-raising ceremony every morning. He would feel uncomfortable for half a day if a hardworking woman like him, who earns money through her own efforts to support her gambling father and sick mother, got close to her.

However, Xu Si felt that he couldn't change this habit for the time being, not for any other reason than that the eighth technician was too pitiful, and he was a compassionate person, so he often felt sorry for the eighth technician.

"Who is this?"

Xu San had just sent the big monk away when he returned and saw this scene. He was stunned and subconsciously adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, asking a question.

"Hahaha, this is one of our own, Luke, you know that, don't pretend you don't know him."

Xu Si quietly moved away from Luke and came to Xu San's side, smiling as he spoke.

Xu San blurted out instinctively, "That battle maniac Luke!"

Well, it seems that this is the stereotype Luke has in the company's eyes.

However, one cannot blame them for being rigid. After all, Luke's behavior is indeed conspicuous, and he is a standout among the younger generation. Naturally, the company pays more attention to him. After all, an Inhuman, especially one skilled in combat, poses a great threat once he goes astray. If he hides in a crowd, even mobilizing the army may not be able to catch him.

Young people are prone to making mistakes, and from the company's perspective, their attention is merely a preventative measure, intended to benefit the young people.

Luke stroked his chin and said expressionlessly.

"How come I didn't know I had such a nickname?"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: One Person's Story: The Arrival of Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Bai

Xu San chuckled awkwardly and explained, "It was a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue. I didn't expect you to be here for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

Actually, Luke's nickname "Battle Maniac" is an internal designation given to him by the company. No one in the Inhuman world calls him that. He does have other nicknames in the Inhuman world, but we'll leave that for later.

Luke rolled his eyes and said, "You've all given me the nickname 'Battle Maniac,' don't you understand why I'm here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

Xu San's question reminded Luke of a video he had seen online some time ago, in which a woman asked the air conditioner repairman what he did for a living, and the repairman looked at her as if she were mentally challenged.

Luke wanted to return Xu San's gaze, but he couldn't. He could empathize, but his master's gaze was too complex to imitate!

Xu San finally realized what was happening, and his smile became even more awkward.

Xu Si glanced at him disdainfully and muttered, "A complete idiot."

Xu Si didn't doubt that Luke's participation in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had ulterior motives, but he was worried that Zhang Chulan would encounter an opponent like Luke at the ceremony.

What? You're saying Zhang Chulan might never even encounter Luke as his opponent? That would be even more dangerous.

Xu Si didn't doubt that Luke could make it to the finals, but he was worried that Zhang Chulan would be eliminated by someone else before even meeting Luke.

Just as Xu Si was about to say a few more platitudes, Luke suddenly spoke.

"Alright, I'm not chatting with you guys anymore, I saw someone I know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luke actually left, seemingly heading towards the two blue-haired figures, one large and one small.

Xu San patted Xu Si on the shoulder, and Xu Si's expression immediately turned ferocious.

"That should be Zhuge Qing from the Zhuge family, Luke's cousin. Hey, Xu Si, what happened to your face?"

Xu Si's expression was ferocious as he gritted his teeth and roared, "Take your hand away! That kid went too far!"

Xu Si slapped away Xu San's hand that was on his shoulder, pulled open the clothes on his shoulder, and as he expected, his shoulder was swollen very high.

Xu San gasped, "This was made by Luke? What did you do to offend him?"

Xu Si said with a crying face, "What bad luck! We saw that Zhang Chulan couldn't beat him, so we discussed teaming up to eliminate him before the competition. I've looked at his profile, and he shouldn't care about these little things as long as there's a fight. Who would have thought he would overhear us?"

Xu San snorted coldly, "Then you really deserve it."

Who would secretly plot something like this in public? You could at least find a quiet, secluded spot. But look what happened, someone overheard you.

The Xu brothers were bickering, but Zhang Chulan paid them no mind. Instead, he went to Feng Baobao's side and asked her in a low voice.

"Sister Bao'er, you just said Luke is very fierce. Can you tell me exactly how fierce he is?"

Feng Baobao blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Oh! That kid's aura is really fierce, like fire. It explodes with a bang as soon as he makes a move!"

Luke had never practiced any fire-related magic. Feng Baobao's description was just her intuitive feeling. To be precise, the Qi in Luke's body was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to explode at any moment.

This phenomenon can certainly be suppressed; in the words of the old Celestial Master, it is called "the inner radiance of the spirit."

At first glance, the old master's eyes seem no different from those of an ordinary person, but only those with a certain level of cultivation can perceive the gentle and refined spirit emanating from them, a return to simplicity and a restrained, radiant inner light.

Those who practice Qi cultivation have abundant Qi and are full of energy. Generally speaking, their eyes are bright and sparkling, which can be recognized at a glance.

However, when one's cultivation of life reaches a certain level, one can restrain this sharpness. In other words, one's eyes lose their brilliance, and one looks just like an ordinary person.

Feng Baobao's eyes possess a kind of profound and restrained quality, but unlike the ordinary appearance of the Old Master, because Feng Baobao's intelligence is unpredictable, the lofty concept of profound and restrained quality manifests in her as dullness, idiocy, and a blank stare!

Zhang Chulan's mind was very quick; countless ideas flashed through his mind in an instant. He then leaned close to Feng Baobao's ear and whispered something. Feng Baobao didn't know what she heard, but she just kept nodding.

"Sister Bao'er, do you understand?"
