26: Chapter 26 The Power of a King-Level Ability User

The next day, June 11th, early in the morning.

Lu Qingfeng pestered Mother Lu.

He wanted her to make good on her promise from yesterday and show him a thing or two.

"Alright, alright... we'll go to the riverside in a bit. I need to report it first to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

Mother Lu felt helpless being pestered by her eldest son.

"You brat, how much was your school bonus?" Old Lu suddenly leaned in.

Lu Qingfeng: ...

"Not much... not much!"

Was Old Lu trying to scheme for his money?

He was a total money-grubber now.

Old Lu looked at his expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"You brat, would your father really take your money? It's at most a million or so, yet you're still being so secretive."

"Uh... Old Lu, isn't a million a lot?"

Old Lu tilted his head back, looking at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.

"To you and ordinary people, it's a lot—ten years' worth of income. But to your father, it's not much."

Lu Qingfeng complained inwardly: What a great flex, he's even striking a pose.

However, he wasn't sure exactly how much money Old Lu had.

So he asked:

"Then how much money do you have? How much do you make a year?"

Old Lu gave him a flick.

"Prying into your father's money again? Anyway, it's much more than your million. If you run out, remember to ask me, but don't waste it just because you have it."

"Oh..." Lu Qingfeng rubbed his head.

"What are you two whispering about again? Breakfast is ready."

The Family enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together.

Then, at Lu Qingfeng's urging, they took a car to the riverside.

They drove a long way along the river until they reached a remote and deserted spot.

Before them was a large river about 200 meters wide with a rapid current.

The three of them got out of the car.

"You two stay right here and don't run around, do you hear me?"

Lu Qingfeng nodded frantically.

He tapped the recording function on his bracelet.

He saw Mother Lu soar into the air, reaching the center of the river in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingfeng rubbed his eyes.

What the hell was this?

Is this even a human?

There were no reports of Ability Users above Level 4 on the internet at all.

Let alone a Level 7 Ability User.

She could actually fly? The speed just now even created a sonic boom.

It was beyond ridiculous; it was absolutely insane.

Mother Lu stood in mid-air over the river and waved her hand.

A flaming saber dozens of meters long manifested.

She raised the long blade and slashed toward the river's surface.

"Boom..."

The river surface exploded.

The riverbed was exposed directly as white mist billowed from the surface, causing a brief interruption in the flow.

Mother Lu retracted the long blade and waved her hand again.

A hundred-meter-long Dragon soared into the air, dancing wildly around her before diving into the river.

"Boom..."

The river water evaporated, revealing a section of the riverbed the size of a basketball court.

Mother Lu flew back in the blink of an eye and landed beside them.

It took several minutes for the basketball-court-sized riverbed to be submerged by the incoming water.

Lu Qingfeng was dumbfounded.

This is an Ability User?

This overpowered?

He once again began to doubt National Martial Arts.

What's the point of National Martial Arts?

Ability Users are beings capable of severing rivers!

Thinking about it, if this blade were slashed at his residential complex, would the whole place melt instantly?

Even from a hundred meters away, he felt the waves of heat were incredibly scorching.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng..." Mother Lu called out a few times.

"Oh... oh, I'm recording a video. Mom, you're amazing, that was so shocking."

Lu Qingfeng said sincerely.

"Mhm, let's go back. Remember not to send the video to anyone,"

Mother Lu didn't want to say much, mainly because her son had no Special Ability and she feared he would be discouraged.

In fact, she had only used ten percent of her power just now; otherwise, it would have been too shocking, and she really feared it would crush Lu Qingfeng's spirit.

If her son hadn't been pestering her, she wouldn't have been willing to show it.

Her husband was a Level 1 Cancer-mutant, and now her son had no ability at all.

She sighed in her heart; this was why she always lived as an ordinary person at home.

A King-level Esper was not as simple as they imagined.

After returning home and having lunch, the Family prepared to go to Jiangnan City in Jiangnan Province to celebrate his maternal grandfather's birthday.

A hundredth birthday was quite a significant occasion.

Lu Qingfeng actually went to his grandfather's house several times a year, but in his memory, he always went with Mother Lu.

Old Lu hadn't gone even once.

He didn't know when he was a child, but he only realized it as he grew up.

It turned out that social class really did exist.

His grandfather's home was a massive manor.

Meanwhile, his own home was just a residential complex; his 150-square-meter house wasn't even as big as one of his grandfather's kitchens.

Later, he found out.

His grandfather was the head of the Yu Family, a vast Family with businesses spread across various planets.

And Mother Lu was the princess of the Yu Family, yet she had married the ordinary Old Lu and then had him.

Thinking of this, he admired Old Lu even more and secretly gave him a thumbs-up in his heart.

This time, Old Lu had made a great resolution to accompany them to the Yu Family.

They chose to drive themselves again; with self-driving technology, it was all the same anyway, and they could enjoy the scenery along the way.

The journey was smooth, and they arrived at Jiangnan City in the neighboring Jiangnan Province.

His grandfather's house.

There weren't many people today; tomorrow would be the day it would be packed.

As soon as they entered, a servant led them into the manor.

He could clearly feel Old Lu's nervousness.

He walked over and patted Old Lu's shoulder.

"Dad... don't panic. Your son will definitely help you, don't worry."

He wasn't panicked; although he came here often, his impression was that his grandfather didn't particularly care for him.

If Mother Lu hadn't forced him to come every year, he really wouldn't have wanted to.

Looking down on Old Lu was the same as looking down on him, wasn't it?

After all, his last name was Lu.

On the contrary, he really liked going to his paternal grandfather's house in the countryside.

His two uncles, male cousins, and female cousins were all nice to him.

His paternal grandfather's house was very ordinary, but it was full of warmth and human touch.

This place was high-end and grand, but it always felt cold and devoid of human touch.

"Young Miss, Young Master-in-law, the Master is waiting for you in the living room."

The servant guided them politely.

"Aunt Liu... go ahead with your work. We'll go see my father."

Mother Lu said, her right hand tightly gripping Old Lu's hand.

Old Lu also took a deep breath; even with his strong heart, he was still very nervous at this moment.

The living room was large and had a classic, antique feel.

A handsome middle-aged man sat in the main seat, and beside him was an elegant middle-aged woman.

The man looked a lot like Mother Lu; Lu Qingfeng knew this was his grandfather, Yu Zhenhua, and the one beside him was his grandmother, Rong Xuemei.

He obediently went up and greeted them.

"Xiao Feng, you go play upstairs for a while." His grandmother was actually quite nice to him and spoke softly.

Lu Qingfeng knew they had things to discuss, so he had no choice but to go upstairs.

He knew that by sending him away, Old Lu was going to have a hard time.

However, after going upstairs, he stood at the top of the stairs, preparing to eavesdrop.

An Internal Power Martial Artist's hearing was exceptionally strong.

He wanted to hear what they would say.

"Lu Guoping, you still dare to come to the Yu Family? Have you forgotten what I told you back then?"

"Dad, Guoping finally came for once. It's your hundredth birthday, so please don't make things difficult for him. Besides, it was all my fault, and Xiao Feng is already this old."

"Shut up..."
