YM778.TV Chapter 176: Commander
"I wonder how much depth it could go down…" he thought amusingly as he patiently waited. Finally, he felt the fire die down underneath the floor, so he quickly checked and estimated the depth.
"This should be around 10 metres…" Lu Zhen\'s eyes widened. "It lacks power, but it\'s specialty is heat, huh," he mused, as he now had another trick up his arsenal.
However, before he could think any longer, he suddenly heard the voice of Little Lily.
"Young master, someone wants to visit you."
Lu Zhen\'s eyes glinted when he heard this, as he had instructed Little Lily not to contact him no matter who came, except the messenger of Lu Ming, the ancestor of the Lu family.
"But about my Wood Qi," Lu Zhen sighed, as he had no choice now. Although his power would be significantly lower, he rarely relied on his combat arts, using his skill and his body rather than combat arts most of the time although they were useful but still in his current situation combat arts weren\'t much useful to him.
He preferred to have simple attacks rather than sophisticated ones, effective against opponents of the same strength. However, when facing a powerhouse or a large group of opponents, all the technique would be useless to him.
After all, the more complex the technique, the longer it takes to be utilised, while even a blink of an eye could be fatal in battle and could lead to one\'s death.
"Let\'s go," Lu Zhen opened his door to see the shocked Lily, who was looking at the ground as if it were melted by lava or something.
However, she didn\'t say anything, as Lily knew that her young master must be practising a new martial art. Although she was curious about the terrifying meltdown of the wall and the floor, she didn\'t ask anything.
…..
"Oh, Elder Li," Lu Zhen\'s eyes glinted as he looked at the beauty in front of him with striking purple hair and curves all in the right places. She wore a purple dress that resembled the outfit of a witch, with her cleavage slightly revealed and her hips swaying, making her look extremely seductive.
He vividly remembered the milf he had seen before when he went to collect information on the bandits. It was certainly etched in his memory, and Lu Zhen wasn\'t one to forget such a beauty.
"Young master," she purred seductively as she bowed her head, revealing her cleavage to Lu Zhen.
However, he just scoffed at Li Jiao playing tricks on him; after all, he wasn\'t like the past.
"The war has officially started, young master, and you have been assigned as a commander in the war."
Lu Zhen nodded his head when he heard this. Usually, only grand elders, meaning second-stage martial artists, were given the position of commanders, commanding hundreds of martial artists with thousands of mortals.
Although there might be very few second-stage martial artists and only a single first-stage martial artist in the Lu family, there was no lack of mortals who were subsidiaries of the Lu family, with almost endless mortals and countless martial trainees, along with a sufficient number of elders.
After all, in this world, the war isn\'t won simply by powerhouse martial artists fighting; it is also the job of lower-level martial artists to contribute to the battle. Even a normal second-stage martial artist might be worn out if thousands of well-trained mortals overwhelm them on paper.
But Lu Zhen was being given the position of commander because he was simply the young master, meaning next-in-line for the patriarch, and his terrifying strength had already convinced them of his prowess.
The memory of him killing the young second-stage martial artist from the Xia family was still vivid in everyone\'s mind, making them not foolish enough to challenge him.
"I wonder how many people will die," he sighed, already imagining the blood pool that would form from the massacre.
"What about you then?"
"Young master, I am one of your generals," Li Jiao said in a seductive tone.
Lu Zhen just nodded his head expressionlessly as he said, "Wait a moment."
Li Jiao was stunned as she saw Lu Zhen go back to his room.
He returned to his cultivation room to pick up his bow and folded it with a bandage, tying it to his back.
After he found the bow fitting to his hulking body, he nodded his head.
Although the bow was large, his body was equally large, and the bow reached from his head to his knee.
"Hmm, what will she do?..." Lu Zhen thought as he went towards Xia Mei\'s room and knocked on it. However, he didn\'t hear any response for a long time.
"Xia Mei, it\'s me. Open the door," he said in a deep tone, but she still didn\'t open the door.
Lu Zhen\'s face morphed into a frown when he sensed this; however, he regained his calm a second later as he patiently waited. After not getting a response for five minutes, and still receiving no reply, he sighed as he turned around.
"If you don\'t want to talk, I will also not talk." He could still vaguely sense that Xia Mei was still inside her room, removing the notion that she had left or something. Although he might be lustful, he didn\'t have the habit of prying into a girl\'s room for no reason.
So, Lu Zhen simply left.
However, before he could walk even ten steps, he heard the gentle voice of Xia Mei, which made him pause in his step.
