Chapter 571: The Power of the Bloodline
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In fact, when Lu Shu was resisting the families, he already had control of the black market. Li Yixiao was no more than the door guard.
Thus, his style of speaking when he was managing the black market made it easy for the secret pract.i.tioners to recognize him…
Although the secret pract.i.tioners often received harsh words, they respected Lu Shu from the bottom of their heart. There were not many people who could make the six big families, whom they did not dare to even face, suffer heavy defeat. Moreover, he was so young!
The weak student laughed. “My uncle said that he would allow me to train. After I have the strength of a Cla.s.s F, he would allow me to follow him overseas to transport goods. He said, why go to school when you can train instead.”
This was the dividing line between students with good grades and students with poor grades. Those with good grades would talk about tertiary education, while those with poor grades would sign on to the military, go to a third-rate university or get a diploma.
At this point, it seemed as if he would follow a secret pract.i.tioner to become a secret pract.i.tioner. Another path had opened for them.
Lu Shu felt that this path was not a good path to embark on. But the students in front of him knew little about the realm of cultivation. Thus, they thought that this path was more prominent and of high repute. Furthermore, he did not agree with the secret pract.i.tioners’ point of view. Why go to school when you can train instead? The expert Pract.i.tioners would make you thoroughly understand the importance of knowledge while you underwent training.
“After school today, my uncle will bring me to the Route 301 black market for a look. I’ve heard that many ordinary people also go there often. Apparently selling training resources earns a lot of money,” said the weak student.
He was always talking about his uncle. It was like on a normal day after everyone had gotten drunk. They would start to boast and compare, my friend does so and so, my dad’s friend does so and so…
The words “secret pract.i.tioner” and “awakening” had become trendy. Many former Daoyuan Cla.s.s students began to regret the decision their parents had helped them to make. All of them said that it was very dangerous. But to the students who had never seen the Daoyuan Cla.s.s, what was dangerous?
It seemed that training was now mainstream. The old times were gradually being replaced by the new. Times had changed. Mindsets from the past and new things clashed with each other. In the end, a brand new era will definitely emerge.
Lu Shu was very calm. He knew that things like “my friend is very impressive” or “my dad’s friend is very impressive” was all big talk. Why not boast about your own abilities?
After school, Lu Shu walked out of the campus. His life had returned to a monotonous routine, go to school, go home.
But this time, Lu Shu did not have to sell boiled eggs. Everyday after getting home, he had more important things to do. He had to train, practice his sword, and resolve his conflict with Hai Gongzi.
As he reached the gate, Lu Shu saw the weak student briskly walk towards a middle-aged man. “Uncle, you’re here! Didn’t you say that you would wait for me at home?”
The middle-aged man laughed. “Won’t we save time this way? Come, I’ll take you to the black market for a look. I’ll also introduce you to a few uncles. Who knows, you may strike a deal with them in the future.”
The surrounding students were all envious, especially those whose grades were poorer. They looked at how their comrade at the bottom of the cla.s.s had opened up a new path. It was as if he was secretly a son of a rich entrepreneur who did not have to care about grades.
People once joked that during a reunion among the sons of rich entrepreneurs, they would sigh, “Those with good grades are lucky. Unlike me, whose grades were too poor to go to university. I could only take over my family business. My dad knew that I was very sad, so he sent me a Ferrari…”
But something unexpected happened. The middle-aged man saw Lu Shu’s figure among the crowd and was dumbfounded. “The Venerable!”
The middle-aged man, who was high-spirited about bringing his nephew to the black marker, suddenly smiled and jogged towards Lu Shu. “The Venerable, do you attend school here?”
Lu Shu turned and looked at him. “Go do what you have to do.”
He remembered this man. Back then when he was buying back magical stones, the man had helped out and was praised by Li Yixiao. No wonder he said that he had relations with the Lord and the Venerable. It turns out he had made outstanding contributions.
“Okay.” The middle-aged man left without another word. The Venerable evidently did not want to talk to him. He should go away as fast as he could.
But as he brought the shocked weak student away, the surrounding students could not sit still. So the Venerable they had been talking about was Lu Shu?
Everyone had thought that Lu Shu would inevitably be out of line with the true experts as he did not have the chance to go to the Luo Shen Cultivation College. After all, everyone had said that the Luo Shen Cultivation College would definitely produce many elites. Those who did not make it would be allocated to the higher ranks of the security formation.
But it turns out that to the secret pract.i.tioners, Lu Shu was on the same level as Princ.i.p.al Li? Li Yixiao was a Heavenly King! Is there something wrong with the world?
In the past, everyone had thought that Lu Shu was only a Metahuman. If he was not able to awaken, then he could only go as far as Cla.s.s C. Even if he could continue to advance, wasn’t there someone in the Golden Foundation who said that after Cla.s.s C, strength alone would put him at a great disadvantage against others.
How did Lu Shu become a sword expert?
Recently, those who were discontent with Lu Shu suddenly saw Lu Shu studying properly. He seemed like he was doing his best to get into an ordinary university. Although they did not say anything, they were slightly happy.
The world was like this. The complexity of humans was scarier than supernatural beings. Sometimes, people would form unpleasant intentions even without them realizing.
These intentions had been eliminated just by the secret pract.i.tioner calling Lu Shu “the Venerable”. They had returned to reality and once again got to know the current Lu Shu.
Lu Shu calmly walked towards the district. The two worlds had been separated by the magical era. Since they were not in the same world, he did not need to care about their opinion of him either.
Lu Shu suddenly recalled that he still had one tool he did not know the function of. After he took a shower, he returned to his room. He retrieved the black pearl from the Seal of Lands and looked carefully at it. The circulating black fog within the pearl was the same as when he had first received it.
It seems like he could go in and out of the pearl as he wished. He did not know who was inside the pearl. Could they be an ancient figure like that of Hai Gongzi?
Thinking back, the voice was wide and distant, but it did not carry any animosity. Although Lu Shu resisted exploring the black pearl, the words he had heard continued to resound in his head.
Why did they say that he was of a familiar bloodline? What exactly was his bloodline?
The Deities had proven that bloodline existed. Whether it was Coral’s Gungnir or the power to drop lightning from her awakened bloodline, they were all no different from Odin.
