Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 959: Chapter 957: Strength

The three grandmasters watched with wide eyes as that sharp dining knife was mercilessly and with full force stabbed by Lu Xiaobu into his own hand.

The thought that floated in their minds was—Is this kid crazy?!

However, right after, they all saw that the dining knife didn’t pierce into the flesh as they imagined but stopped at the very last distance.

They could see it wasn’t Lu Xiaobu retracting his power, but something unknown blocking the knife.

”A protective suit?!” Ling Xiaozi frowned and asked.

”No! No! That’s not it!” Master Zhi Xing’s pupils dilated: ”Feel it carefully!”

”Hiss! Inner strength externally manifested?! Are you a grandmaster too?!” Wu Weizi’s eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief.

”No, no, no! It’s not inner strength, definitely not!” Ling Xiaozi slowly shook his head, denying it.

”The three grandmasters, let’s not get hung up on whether this is inner strength or not; I just want to test the attack power of the grandmasters, is that okay?” Lu Xiaobu was too lazy to explain.

This kind of thing, the more you explain, the more troublesome it becomes!

Anyway, these three have all transcended the human realm, and surely in the end, they will have their own explanation!

”Alright then!” Ling Xiaozi looked and finally nodded: ”Let’s just stop at this point.”

After seeing Lu Xiaobu’s miraculous ability, he wanted to try it too!

To see exactly what this is!

”Okay!” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Soon after, the sword finger appeared again, Ling Xiaozi slowly pressed down on Lu Xiaobu’s arm!

The Charging Shield reappeared!

Wu Weizi and Master Zhi Xing stared intently at Lu Xiaobu’s arm, wanting to see clearly what it was!

And Ling Xiaozi’s feeling was undoubtedly the strongest.

But no matter how he sensed it, he couldn’t discern what this was!

He could only feel his inner strength being continuously consumed, constantly neutralized.

But on Lu Xiaobu’s side, he was also filled with shock!

Do you remember how strong Xue Changzhi was?!

A punch of five billion!

However, Ling Xiaozi, in an instant, reached this level!

Afterwards, the Charging Shield frantically consumed at a rate of five billion per second!

Five billion!

Ten billion!

Fifteen billion!

Twenty billion!

Based on this rate, in just ten seconds, Lu Xiaobu’s fifty billion shield would be completely exhausted!

What a terrifying speed is this?!

This is the grandmaster; a single strike afterward is already a full attack like this from Xue Changzhi, who is slightly stronger than Zhang Meng?!

After eight seconds, with Lu Xiaobu having consumed forty billion!

”Hah!”

Ling Xiaozi withdrew the sword finger, his eyes now filled with shock!

Just now, his inner strength was consumed by a full third!

That is to say, he, as a grandmaster, used a third of his inner strength and still couldn’t harm Lu Xiaobu?!

How terrifying is this kid?!

What kind of defense is this?!

Why is it so strong?!

Wu Weizi and Master Zhi Xing also fell into extreme shock!

Initially thought Lu Xiaobu was just someone who could win debates and had a sharp mind!

But who would have thought he possessed grandmaster-level strength?!

Bear in mind that although Ling Xiaozi didn’t use a form, it was simply a pure inner strength attack!

But similarly, Lu Xiaobu didn’t use any defense form either!

What kind of freak is this Lu Xiaobu?!

Of course, they didn’t know that whether Lu Xiaobu used it or not, it would have been the same result!

That’s not important, what’s important is that at this moment, they’ve already regarded Lu Xiaobu as their equal!

In Jianghu, in the end, it’s the biggest fist that talks!

Such a person with a sharp mind and possessing such terrifying strength can literally be described with the word invincible!

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu’s heart was also not calm!

Having witnessed Xue Changzhi’s strength, he knew his Charging Shield wasn’t invincible!

But now, having seen grandmasters, he had a better measure of his shield’s strength in his heart.

In future encounters with grandmasters, he must not let his guard down!

Otherwise, it’s very easy to capsize in the ditch!

So, he quickly chose to recharge two hundred billion shields!

After all, last time, he spent three hundred billion to secure Yuling Peak, recharging two hundred billion and leaving one hundred billion temporarily sufficient!

”Come on, come on, let’s drink.” Lu Xiaobu raised his glass and smiled.

”Cheers!” Ling Xiaozi and Wu Weizi also raised their glasses.

Master Zhi Xing continued to replace wine with tea.

They all tacitly avoided mentioning the earlier incident.

Some things are best left unsaid!

Moreover, at this moment, to the three grandmasters, Lu Xiaobu was no longer a junior, but an equal peer!

Thus, they must maintain respect!

Of course, at the same time, what was originally a small gesture of goodwill over a meal was magnified!

Status absolutely correlates with the importance of human relations.

If Lu Xiaobu were merely a junior, finding the right time to simply offer some benefits would settle it.

But now, it’s not that simple at all!

...

Lin Family.

Lin Feng finally received intelligence on the Jianghu Order!

”Damn it!” Lin Feng was furious: ”Are all these martial artists useless?! Although I didn’t expect them to help much, they had to at least put up a fight, right?! And now! Lu Xiaobu solved it all with just words?!”

He was exasperated!

Remember what his goal was?!

It was to test Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and also Lu Xiaobu’s strength!

But shit, none of them were tested!

This whole thing is messed up!

”Go, find out all the details for me, I want to analyze them one by one!” Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said.

Conducting another Jianghu Order is obviously unrealistic; instead, meticulous analysis is required!

He hoped to find some clue!

At the same time, he cursed inwardly!

Who the hell turned the mindset of the three grandmasters?!

Based on his deductions, for Lu Xiaobu to successfully overturn them, he must provoke conflict among the three grandmasters!

And the best method would have been a Buddhist versus Daoist conflict!

That’s why he arranged for martial heroes he knew to help Lu Xiaobu!

But it didn’t happen!

None of it occurred! The three grandmasters, previously strangers to Lu Xiaobu, were already favoring him from the start!

How could that be possible?!

Who sabotaged his plan?!

Lin Feng clutched his fists tightly, extremely angry!

This kind of situation, out of his control, was what frustrated him the most!

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu also asked this question: ”Three grandmasters, you seemed to hold some goodwill towards me from the beginning! Did someone tell you about me?”

”Well...” The three grandmasters had an embarrassed smile: ”Yes, a junior coincidentally told us some things about you. If it weren’t for him, we might have been fighting with swords drawn by now! Hahaha!”

Yue Hongwei probably never would have thought that his inadvertent action would successfully lead to a shocking reversal in the Jianghu Order!

Of course, it also changed his own destiny for life!

The butterfly effect, nothing more than this!
