nChapter 99: Lu Ming’s Thoughts

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

n“Are you the legendary Brother Lu?”

nStaring at Lu Ming in front of him, Chang Yi slowly narrowed his eyes.

nStrong!

nChang Yi’s first impression on Lu Ming was that he was strong!

nHe was 2.3 meters, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, his bare arms were even thicker than Chang Yi’s thighs.

nHis facial features were still considered decent, but compared to his exaggerated physique, his facial features did not seem as important.

nOpposite Chang Yi, Lu Ming slowly stood up and looked down at Chang Yi.

n“Yes, I’m Lu Ming.”

n“I heard that you wanted to meet me?”

nChang Yi nodded gently, “Yes.”

nThen, the two of them fell silent…

nLu Ming’s build brought some pressure to Chang Yi.

nBut not much.

nPhysique could not determine combat power – otherwise, Tanks would be the most powerful.

nEven if Lu Ming was tall and strong, it did not matter. The key was, what level was this Lu Ming?

nTherefore, after a simple conversation, Chang Yi did not speak anymore – he did not need words to get the answer. He just needed to activate his mind-reading ability, and Lu Ming would naturally tell him everything without missing a thing.

nLu Ming’s reaction was also simple—he did not say much.

nThe atmosphere began to become awkward and abstract.

nLu Ming remained expressionless, but Chang Yi’s brows gradually furrowed.

nIt was because…

nHe could not hear Lu Ming’s thoughts!

nLu Ming had no thoughts!

nThis can’t be!

nChang Yi thought to himself.

nThis was because the Mind Listening ability was not an ability that could be resisted by strength.

nThe effectiveness of Mind Listening had nothing to do with the other person’s strength at all. As long as the other person had thoughts and intentions, no matter how strong he was, he could not avoid Chang Yi hearing his thoughts.

n“So what’s wrong with this person?!”

nChang Yi was puzzled when he suddenly received feedback from his Mind Listening.

n“What does this person mean?”

nHe had heard Lu Ming’s thoughts!

nChang Yi was stunned for a moment before he heard Lu Ming speak.

n“It’s you. You’re here to see me, right?”

nChang Yi nodded.

n“What’s up?”

nChang Yi opened his mouth, but he did not know how to answer Lu Ming’s question.

nHe activated his Mind Listening Technique again.

n“He came to find me, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t say why he came either. Is this person crazy?”

nChang Yi’s expression froze, and Lu Ming spoke again.

n“You came to see me and have no idea why you came to see me? Are you crazy?”

nChang Yi’s face instantly turned beet-red.

nHe realized something.

nLu Ming was straightforward and spoke his mind.

nWhat he said was what he thought!

nHe did not play any tricks—he said whatever he wanted…

nIn the face of such a person, it was useless to listen to his thoughts!

nWith a thought, Chang Yi went all out.

nA smile appeared on his face as he said softly, “I’ve only been here for a short time, but I’ve often heard of Brother Lu’s name. I’m a Level 5 Awakened, but I’ve been told that Lu Ming’s strength is stronger than mine.”

n“Therefore, I thought of visiting Brother Lu and sparring with Brother Lu to see if Brother Lu is stronger or I, Chang Yi, am stronger.

nYes, that’s right.

nI won’t beat around the bush with you!

nTo put it bluntly, I’m here to challenge you.

nBy saying this, it must have provoked some reaction from you, surely?”

nSure enough, upon hearing Chang Yi’s words, Lu Ming frowned.

n“Let’s spar?”

n“Yes, a spar.”

n“I’m sorry. I don’t like sparring with strangers.”

nLu Ming simply refused.

nSparring was too dangerous.

nIn any case, Lu Ming had heard from Wang Xiong, Zhao Yongchun, and the others that in the past, when they were practicing martial arts, they often had outsiders coming to challenge them.

nWhen they encountered novices, they dealt with them casually.

nHowever, if it was an expert challenging them, it was easy to run into problems during the spar.

nFighting, if not done seriously, could not determine one’s level. But once it was done seriously, it was not easy to hold back and injuries could happen.

n‘What if I get injured? Wouldn’t that delay my regular training? There’s no need to mess up the rhythm of my own life over such a small matter.’

nMind Listening captured Lu Ming’s thoughts again.

nThis made Chang Yi frown again, “Training? Brother Lu, do you like to train?”

nLu Ming nodded. “Yes.”

n“But this has nothing to do with you. In short, let’s skip the sparring. Fists and kicks have no eyes. I have no grudge or grievances with you. There’s no need for a fight.”

nAfter saying this, Lu Ming did not want to chat with Chang Yi anymore…

nIn Lu Ming’s eyes, the matter was actually very simple.

nThis person believed himself to be strong and wanted to spar with me.

nHowever, he did not want to exchange blows with him.

nYou have no right to force me to do something 1 don’t want to do, right?

nNow that the matter was clear, Lu Ming felt that this matter was resolved.

nHe turned around and was about to return home when he heard Chang Yi’s voice again from behind.

n“Are you afraid?”

n“I’m not afraid of you. I just don’t think it’s necessary.

nI don’t fear you. I just feel it’s unnecessary.”

nChang Yi said agitatedly, “It’s just a spar, just a spar! just once, 1 just want to see how strong you are.”

n“No, what does my strength have to do with you?

nHow strong I am has nothing to do with you, right?”

nAfter saying this, Lu Ming had already opened the door and walked into the house.

nChang Yi was left standing at the door of Lu Ming’s house with a dumbfounded expression.

nUntil Gao Junyi gently tugged at Chang Yi’s sleeve.

n“Brother Chang, you’ve seen Brother Lu. To be honest, Brother Lu’s temper is like this. Please don’t take offense.”

nWith that, Gao Junyi said apologetically, “Shall we go back first?”

nChang Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at Gao Junyi.

nHis face twitched, and he could no longer suppress the violence in his heart!

nThree days, three days, and another three days…

n“Do you know how 1 survived these nine days?!”

nThe suppressed growl made Gao Junyi involuntarily take two steps back.

nChang Yi roared at the sky, “I, Chang Yi! The chosen one! The number one in the world!

nI’m Level 5! I’m the strongest in Nanxiang!

nIn the end, when I came to your official shelter, I was frightened and aggrieved by Brother Lu for nine whole days!

nNow, 1 want to spar with you. That’s because 1 gave you face! In the end, you treat me like this! This is how you treat me!!”

nThere was a “Snap” sound.

nThe window on the second floor of Lu Ming’s house opened. Lu Ming stood at the window and looked at Chang Yi, frowning as he said.

n“I’m going to take a nap, keep your voice down.” ‘What’s wrong with this person? Shouting loudly outside someone else’s house. It’s a pity that there are no mental hospitals in this post-apocalyptic world…’

nChang Yi felt his anger rising.

nI’m the protagonist!

nI’m the protagonist of a cool and exciting story!

nAfter reaching Level 5,1, Chang Yi, decided that any hit of displeasure would be disrespectful to my strength.

nAnd here you are, a straight-talking impulsive fool, are you going to brush me off and belittle me just like that?!

nHe instantly recalled the defeat he had suffered in front of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

nTaking a deep breath, Chang Yi angrily smiled and said, “I can’t bear it anymore!”

n“My name is Chang Yi. Remember this!

nLu Ming! The one who killed you! Chang Yi!!”

nHis telekinesis erupted in an instant.

nIt shot towards Lu Ming like a cannonball!

nChang Yi saw that Lu Ming was standing there like a fool, and not moving.

nUntil the telekinetic cannonball shattered the window on the second floor and smashed straight into Lu Ming’s face.

nBoom!

nLu Ming did not move, but his face wrinkled for a moment before returning to normal a second later.

nThe atmosphere instantly froze.

nIt was like a bucket of cold water poured over Chang Yi’s head.

nWithout another word, he stood at attention and bowed 90 degrees to Lu Ming. “I’m sorry, Brother Lu. I was impulsive. Please forgive me..”
