Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 1527 - 1529: No Pain, No Gain
Previously, Lu Xiaobu thought the people of Linren City were quite smart, except for that profligate son Wu Shaopu.
But even Wu Shaopu wasn’t that stupid.
At least, when his father sent him to apologize, Wu Shaopu didn’t show any discontent on his face.
Let alone the elegant Jiang Longjun and his father Jiang Lei, who had a hidden sharpness.
Not to mention the City Lord and that Tu Hejiu, who invited him without even meeting face to face.
He was really satisfied, after all, he was ready to start building his empire here.
Then!
He met these two guys!
Two fools with cleverness but no true wisdom!
Thinking back, these two, plus that Wu Shaopu, seemed to be cultivators!
Jiang Longjun was someone who helped him later, so not included.
Could it be that all cultivators have a built-in stupidity aura?
Did becoming a cultivator cut them off from intelligence?
The more he thought, the more Lu Xiaobu believed it’s possible!
Yes, cultivation lowers IQ!
While thinking, Lu Xiaobu ’painstakingly’ chose one from among the three options.
Beat them to death.
Lu Xiaobu swung a double bed like it was nothing!
Immediately, the two guys rolled like gourds, smashing the weapon rack beside them to pieces.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes.
Wow, not bad physical resilience!
He hadn’t even used his full strength, but seeing those iron weapon racks shattered, it was clear how this one strike from Lu Xiaobu could have crushed many ordinary people!
Yet, these two didn’t die.
They just spat blood and actually shakily stood up!
"You!"
Lin Lei clutched his chest, looking at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief.
How could this person be so strong?!
A casual strike turned them, at the Foundation Establishment stage, into rolling gourds?!
How is this possible?!
Chai Tao’s eyes were filled with shock and regret, realizing he made a huge mistake!
He actually thought he could handle Lu Xiaobu!
Now, it’s over!
And just at this moment.
"Lin Lei, what are you doing?! Why aren’t you apologizing to the god?!" Lin Ren hurriedly ran over, scolding as if just realizing the situation!
"God!? Him!?"
Lin Lei was already shocked, and now he almost had his eyeballs pop out!
This guy is the god?!
A god who can enhance Spirit Roots?!
Is this a joke?!
Isn’t this the guy he brought in?!
And he even arranged his identity!
How did he suddenly turn into a god?!
While he was shocked, Chai Tao’s face changed, and he suddenly ran out like mad!
What? This person became the so-called god?!
This made him even more certain it was all a trap against him!
First, they deliberately let him hear about the god, and now they come out saying the person they brought is the god!
Then the things he just said to Lu Xiaobu, weren’t those just the evidence for them to act against him?!
Run, run quickly!
If you run late, you might become meat on the chopping block!
Chai Tao ran, and no one stopped him.
Chai Tao didn’t know the wonders of this god, so if he left, so be it, it’s no big deal.
"God, I apologize on behalf of my son!" chubby Lin Ren cupped his hands and said to Lu Xiaobu with a face of apology.
"City Lord Lin indeed has guts, no pain, no gain," Lu Xiaobu said with a cheeky smile.
He didn’t believe for a second that the City Lord Mansion made such a big fuss, and the City Lord only just found out?!
It’s just an attempt to probe his strength again, isn’t it?
Jiang Lei and Wu Wei both gave a bitter smile upon hearing this.
They just said, you cannot look at this god-like an ordinary person, yet the City Lord wouldn’t listen and insisted on trying!
And used his son to test, and now look what happened!
Exposed again!
But this god really is incredible!
Knowing everything?!
Seeing through everything?!
"God, forgive the laughter!" Lin Ren admitted openly, not denying it.
The others had no reaction, they all knew already.
Only Lin Lei looked utterly collapsed!
What?!
His dad used him as bait?!
Dad?! Am I your own son or not?!
Where did you pick me up from?!
If I was crushed to death just now, where would I go to seek justice?!
"How about this, let’s not do any more probing, I happen to have something to discuss with you, come on!" Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck, beckoning to Lin Ren.
"Then, I shall follow your lead!" Lin Ren instantly grasped Lu Xiaobu’s intention.
A fight, and after the fight, there’d be no need for further probing!
If Lin Ren was stronger, Lu Xiaobu would inevitably be at his mercy!
If Lu Xiaobu was stronger, Lin Ren would have no further unnecessary thoughts!
"Apologies!"
Lin Ren cupped his hands and his body instantly floated out!
Don’t be fooled by his chubbiness, he was exceptionally agile.
Cultivators shouldn’t be understood from the perspective of ordinary people; they use True Qi, not physical strength!
However, his floating wasn’t towards Lu Xiaobu but to create distance!
"Swift!"
Lin Ren’s two fingers formed a sword sign, pointing at Lu Xiaobu from afar.
Immediately, a flying sword shot out from the hall!
The flying sword was unbelievably fast, its trajectory enclosing a flying sword!
This is a cultivator, plucking flowers and leaves, sword flight, taking a head from miles away!
"Gulp!"
Jiang Lei swallowed hard.
The Jiang Family hadn’t produced a cultivator in many years, and he had seen only a few cultivator fights.
Now seeing it, his heart was filled with immense shock.
Wu Wei felt slightly better since his family had cultivators.
But even so, his eyes were still filled with shock.
He didn’t expect the city lord, who usually looked like nothing but a fat pig, to have such skills!
Incredible!
Jiang Longjun and Wu Shaopu’s eyes were full of longing!
Especially Jiang Longjun!
Cultivators, this is what cultivators are!
Will they reach this level in the future too?!
No, it’s not about whether they can or not but they must, must reach such a level!
Definitely!
"A flying sword?" Lu Xiaobu pondered.
It seems there is a difference between the cultivation world and Heavenly Dynasty martial artists.
Martial Artists focused on close combat with ranged attacks as support.
But here, it’s clearly the opposite.
Then again, martial artists start by refining themselves and breaking limitations, but here, it’s about absorbing external energy from the start.
There’s a fundamental difference between the two.
Well, enough thinking, the flying sword is already in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaobu decided to block it to test how strong the attack power of these cultivators really is!
Use the Charging Shield to test it; only by knowing this can he ensure how to protect himself in the future.
After all, he hasn’t reached the point where he thinks he can sweep through everything.
He vividly remembered that hand that reached through during the initial spiritual energy revival, and they couldn’t even scratch its skin!
