87: The sinister Lu Ze

The people in Lu Ze’s group hadn’t even had time to rejoice when Huan Shen’s voice continued, “However, suppressing to the Early Stage of Fourth Grade is too low. Let’s still suppress to Fourth Grade Lesser Completion.”

Wang Jun’s face lit up with joy.

The suppression to the Early Stage of Fourth Grade he had just mentioned was to entice Lu Ze to choose him; in reality, he already had some ideas about what powerful Martial Skills to use.

Now, with the power of Fourth Grade Lesser Completion, he could more steadily secure the situation!

Huan Shen wasn’t specifically targeting Lu Ze; she just wanted to see how many tricks Lu Ze had up his sleeve.

Huan Shen could sense that merely suppressing to the Early Stage of Fourth Grade wouldn’t be enough to test Lu Ze, so she suggested suppressing to Fourth Grade Lesser Completion.

It was just a pity that Lu Ze didn’t seem to want to choose her; otherwise, Huan Shen would have been able to personally test Lu Ze.

What exactly was so extraordinary about this man who held a certain charm in her eyes!

Due frowned, but he couldn’t say anything, as Huan Shen was the chief examiner of the rules and had the authority to determine the specific regulations.

“As for those who choose to fight me and Wang Ruzhu.”

Huan Shen swept her gaze over everyone below, thought for a moment, and then set the specific rules: “We will also suppress our cultivation to Fourth Grade Lesser Completion. If one of you can get within three meters of me or Wang Ruzhu, then your entire team passes!”

The people from the other groups also smiled; getting within three meters sounded even simpler than fighting Wang Jun!

Many team leaders had already selected their members at this moment.

“Lu Ze, have you made your choice?”

Above, Wang Jun asked.

Lu Ze nodded, “I’ve chosen. I’ll challenge you.”

Wang Jun’s heart swelled with joy, and beneath that joy was a surge of Battle Intent!

“Little Commander Du,”

Lu Ze suddenly spoke, “May I ask what happens if there are casualties during the third round of assessment?”

This question attracted the attention of many people.

“In the third round of assessment, injuries are inevitable, but no matter who it is, everyone must know that this is Xuanyuan City! It is not a place where one can casually slaughter! If anyone tries to put someone to death, I, Due, will certainly kill them on the spot!”

Due’s gaze fell on Wang Jun, “I, Due, won’t care who he is or who is behind him! In Xuanyuan City, with Boss Meng away, I make the decisions!”

As soon as these words came out, the meaning was very clear: it was a warning to Wang Jun not to kill anyone!

No matter what, Lu Ze was the first in Gengsi Class, and he was extraordinarily talented, with outstanding cultivation. It could be said that Xuanyuan City hadn’t produced such a Genius in over a decade!

If such a person were nurtured, his future would be limitless. If he died, it would not only be a loss for Xuanyuan City but also a loss for the Demon Subduing Division!

Due would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

Wang Jun also understood Due’s meaning, and he sneered inwardly.

A warning?!

Warning him, Wang Jun, was a warning to the Yanjing Wang Family!

Warning the Yanjing Wang Family was asking for death!

Those who seek death will die soon. Did Wang Jun still need to worry about what someone who was about to die said?

If warnings worked on him, Wang Jun, then so many people in Yanjing wouldn’t have been suppressed and beaten by him!

This Lu Ze must die today!

Below, Lu Ze also sighed.

He couldn’t kill anyone... If this rule came out, and he actually killed someone, Lu Ze would inevitably face some trouble.

After all, this was still a Human Base. If the bottom line was crossed, things would become very troublesome.

It seemed now was not the best time to take Wang Jun’s life.

However… a wicked smile formed on Lu Ze’s lips.

Since he couldn’t kill, then he would do something else.

Fu Liang watched Lu Ze’s expression from the side and felt a sudden tightening in his gut.

This was the first time he had seen Lu Ze display such a smile. Under this smile, Fu Liang vaguely sensed that someone was about to have a very bad day!

The other teams also discussed amongst themselves and decided who to challenge.

Due randomly numbered each team. Lu Ze’s team was the ninth, so they had to wait a while.

None of the first eight teams chose Wang Jun; they all felt that getting within three meters of a person with Fourth Grade Lesser Completion cultivation was simpler.

But as team after team challenged, very few were able to step within three meters of the Inspector!

Only Song Wushuang and Qin Wan, working together in one team, managed to touch Wang Ruzhu’s body within three meters with a fingertip in the last second.

When the battle ended, everyone on that team lay on the ground, unable to get up, and Song Wushuang and Qin Wan were spitting up blood continuously.

It was Fu Liang who stepped forward to help them down.

Lu Ze watched these few rounds of combat, gaining a deeper understanding of power.

Although Lu Ze wasn’t very clear about Huan Shen’s cultivation style, he did understand some of Wang Ruzhu’s techniques.

Heavy Sword First.

Wang Ruzhu certainly lived up to that title.

With the heavy sword in hand, there was no need to draw it; the Saber Qi already enveloped the entire plaza, and even Lu Ze could feel the powerful Saber Qi pressing towards him!

Several times, Lu Ze’s right hand gripped the hilt of his sword, and an inexplicable urge to charge forward arose in his heart.

He seemed to really want to challenge this “Heavy Sword First” and see whether the heavy sword in her hand was more formidable, or if his Fierce Evil Broadsword was superior!

However, he suppressed such thoughts.

There might be opportunities to challenge in the future, but not now.

At present, there was a more important person to beat!

“Next, Group Nine challenges Wang Jun!”

Due announced loudly.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Lu Ze.

Lu Ze stepped forward, and his team members followed suit.

Entering the designated area, Lu Ze stood at the forefront of his team.

Wang Jun, who had been floating in mid-air, also put away the Talisman that kept him aloft, descended from the sky, and landed on the ground, standing in front of everyone.

At this moment, Battle Intent erupted in Wang Jun’s eyes! A killing intent surged!

Due also sensed it and spoke again, “I will say it one more time: whoever dares to put an opponent to death during the assessment, even if it means sacrificing my Vice Captain status, I will personally intervene and kill them on the spot! Absolutely no mercy!”

Wang Jun scoffed. What Due said now was, in his eyes, utter nonsense!

Who dared to kill him?!

Who dared?!

His surname was Wang! The Wang of Yanjing!

Even if the King of Hell came, he would have to prostrate outside his Wang Family’s gate!

Lu Ze suddenly leaned close to Fu Liang and whispered a few words into the latter’s ear, then handed Fu Liang a few Talismans.

After listening, Fu Liang stared blankly at Lu Ze for a long while, then put away the Talismans, raised his hand to applaud, “Young Master Lu, awesome! Your idea is truly brilliant; why didn’t I think of it!”

Lu Ze looked at Fu Liang’s playful eyes, shifted his body, and the smile in his own eyes deepened, “Just cooperate with me later.”

“Alright! Young Master Lu, don’t worry!”

Fu Liang also looked eager, “Can I deliver the final blow later?”

Lu Ze frowned but still made a concession, “Let’s do it together. I want to too.”

Fu Liang readily agreed, “Alright!”

The other eight people watched as the two seemed to have already formed a strategy in a few words, but they knew nothing.

One person mustered his courage and asked, “Young Master Lu, Young Master Liang, what should we do?”

Fu Liang turned back, chuckled, “You just need to stay put and stay alive. Don’t worry, the assessment will be over very quickly!”
