425: Chapter 429 Doppelganger

Although it was a local school,

it gathered many students from the surrounding villages.

The scale was quite large,

and it was also quite far from their home.

Li Xue said,

"I'll drive to pick you up. Don't walk home alone after school."

She was worried that something might happen to the children.

Lu Chen looked out the window.

The Ghost Hunter was following far behind their car.

"That guy will probably contact me in some way today. Should I join them? Of course."

Lu Chen smiled.

"Brother, what are you smiling about?"

Lu Chen said,

"I just feel happy thinking about how beautiful my sister is. Hahaha."

Timi also said with a smile,

"I'm also happy to have such a handsome brother."

Li Xue felt happy as well.

Ever since they had adopted Lu Chen into their home,

happiness had seemingly returned to their family once again.

Lu Chen thought of something and asked,

"Mom, if you don't mind, may I ask how many family members we have in total?"

Li Xue fell silent upon hearing this.

She was likely thinking of that cold night.

A tear rolled down from her eye.

Seeing his mother cry,

Lu Chen immediately felt a bit sad as well.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make you sad. Please don't cry."

Li Xue wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Our family originally had ten members: your grandmother, your uncle, your aunt, a male cousin, and a female cousin. Now, only your grandfather and us are left."

The reason Lu Chen asked this question

was because if he were to use his True Lord form one day in the future,

he would be able to resurrect his family.

They soon arrived at the school.

The enrollment procedures weren't complicated;

in fact, they went very smoothly.

Afterwards,

Timi went to the adjacent middle school for her classes,

while Lu Chen went to the high school.

Li Xue remained in the car.

Shani said,

"We should go. You can come back to pick them up after school."

In fact,

today was the last day for enrollment applications.

School had already started two days ago,

so Lu Chen and Timi had to attend classes today.

Li Xue didn't want to leave, but she eventually did.

Liang had been waiting for this moment.

He walked into the school.

Lu Chen didn't go to class.

He had zero interest in studying.

He only wanted to meet that member of the Demon Slayer Corps

and then go with him.

He would return after school ended.

He could condense a Clone,

but that might cause some problems later on.

So, he also thought of other ways.

Lu Chen sat on a bench in the school playground, eating an apple.

Suddenly,

a person appeared in front of him.

Lu Chen looked at the man and asked,

"You're the person who attacked those monsters yesterday. What are you doing here?"

Liang had been observing Lu Chen's expression.

Even after going through something like that,

this child appeared exceptionally calm.

So he asked,

"Little guy, aren't you afraid after seeing what happened yesterday?"

Lu Chen waved his hand and said,

"I was born with immense strength. I can shatter a boulder with one punch, so I'm not afraid of anything."

"Are you telling the truth? You can shatter a boulder with one punch? Can you demonstrate it for me?"

Liang asked excitedly.

"Who are you? Why should I show you?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Liang took a steel ball out of his pocket and handed it to Lu Chen.

"Can you crush this ball?"

Lu Chen asked again,

"Who are you?"

Liang wanted to show off his own strength before introducing himself.

That way, it would create a more shocking effect.

But he couldn't do that inside the school.

"Little guy, if you're not afraid of anything, do you dare to step outside with me for a bit? I promise it won't be a wasted trip."

Lu Chen sighed.

He said defiantly,

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Then, Liang and Lu Chen left the school.

They took a bus to a jungle area.

Arriving there,

they continued deeper into the forest.

Afterwards,

Liang drew his katana and took a stance.

He launched an attack at Lu Chen without giving him any chance.

"Earth Swordsmanship: First Form — Earth Shockwave."

Lu Chen pretended to be very surprised.

He instinctively threw a punch.

The force of this punch reached 15 tons.

Boom!

Two massive forces collided.

Lu Chen's body was sent flying backward.

Then he struggled to stand up from the ground.

Looking at Liang,

his eyes were filled with surprise.

"How did you do that?"

A hint of pride appeared on Liang's face,

but internally, he felt incredibly shocked.

An ordinary boy could throw a punch with that much force?

No wonder he wasn't afraid of anything.

He asked,

"Do you want to learn?"

Lu Chen asked,

"Can I learn?"

Liang laughed,

"Of course. But if you learn this skill, you must enter a new world full of danger. Are you ready?"

"Danger? What kind of danger?"

Lu Chen asked curiously.

"You saw that werewolf yesterday, right? That was a Ghostly Entity. There are other types of Ghostly Entities in this world. There is a profession called Ghost Hunter, whose duty is to maintain the balance between ordinary people and supernatural life."

Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Do you guys have some kind of illusion technique? I mean, why have we never seen experts like you on surveillance footage, or seen you on satellite images? Do you know how flashy your moves are when you fight? It should be very easy to capture them."
