“Hey!”
A red figure flew in front of Lu Wu. The Nirvana Sash flew around her exquisitely.
Lu Wu frowned and tried to sense the figure in front of it. “It’s a little better… but still weak…”
Wuuuu!
Cheng Huang took a step back and shook its head from left to right.
Lu Wu was baffled. “Why are you shaking… your head?”
Little Yuan’er said, “Little Tiger, repeat what you said…”
“What did you call me?”
“Little Tiger?”
“…” Lu Wu’s expression was indescribable. ‘Not only is the Old Thief’s subordinates weak, but they lack manners as well!’
Lu Wu glared at Little Yuan’er and said haughtily, “My name is Lu Wu… Perhaps, only… Venerable Masters are a match… for me…”
“Oh,” Little Yuan’er said perfunctorily. Then, she asked, “So how did you learn human language?”
“Call me Lu Wu!”
“Alright,” Little Yuan’er replied sincerely.
However, in Lu Wu’s eyes, this was a great insult. In its eyes, tigers and reptiles were both the same. Even mutated tigers were nothing in its eyes. It felt that it was necessary to show its strength as a beast emperor. It stomped on the ground and leaped into the sky.
The clouds rolled out violently in just a blink of an eye. In just a second, the temperature of the area within a few thousand meters dropped sharply. The cold air felt deadly!
“Lu Wu.” Lu Zhou’s voice rang from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
“Hmm?” Lu Wu landed as agile as a cat; it did not make a sound at all. This showed the amazing control it had over its strength. Suddenly, its speech turned fluent again. “Venerable Master Lu, are you trying to trick me again?”
Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of Lu Wu. He placed his hands on his back before he said, “Don’t you think I’d be stupid not to use some means to hide their auras?”
“…”
Lu Wu nodded inwardly; Lu Zhou had a point. With ten Great Void Seeds, was it not asking for trouble to lay it all out in the open? Suddenly, it seemed to realize its gaffe. Nevertheless, outwardly, its expression did not change as it said, “I… did that on purpose…”
Lu Zhou did not expose Lu Wu. He nodded and said, “Little Yuan’er, the beast emperor is highly revered. Don’t be rude.”
“Oh.” Little Yuan’er flew in front of Lu WU and said, “Sorry about earlier.”
Lu Zhou said, “Lu Wu, I’ll look for you later.”
Lu Wu did not answer. It was not in a hurry to leave. It wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the Evil Sky Pavilion to figure out what Old Thief Lu had been doing all these years. Since that Old Thief used some means to hide the Great Void Seed, then everyone present could be a future supreme being!
‘This… Did I push a group of people who could be supreme beings aside earlier?’
Lu Wu turned around decisively and placed its paw in front of Zhou Jifeng and the others before it said, “I apologize.”
Pan Zhong and the others were dumbfounded. Were all beast emperors so temperamental?
In the end, Pan Zhong nodded and bowed. “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Zhu Honggong flew over at this moment. He looked confused as he said, “The beast emperor, Lu Wu?”
‘What?’ Lu Wu did not turn around. It glanced at Zhu Honggong from the corners of its eyes and thought to itself, ‘In terms of temperament, appearance, and mannerism, this fatty doesn’t look like a future supreme being. He should be a… handyman of sorts in the Evil Sky Pavilion…’
Following that, Lu Wu did not even look at Zhu Honggong as it raised its paw again and pushed Zhu Honggong aside.
Swoosh!
It was unknown where Zhu Honggong was pushed to.
Everyone. “…”
Everyone jumped in shock as they watched Zhu Honggong being pushed away.
When they recovered their senses, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng hurriedly flew over.
“Mister Eighth!”
Lu Wu could sense something was amiss immediately. Its giant paw landed on the ground again as it pawed at the ground, looking conflicted. ‘It… It seems like I sent another future supreme being flying again…’
…
In the eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou looked at his merit points on the system interface; he was rather satisfied.
Merit points: 360,060
Remaining lifespan: 3,189,720 days (8,739 years in which 600 years are from Reversal Cards)
‘Over 8,000 years…’
Lu Zhou stroked his chin. After returning from the Unknown Land, he had checked his appearance. Not only did he no longer look like a weak Confucian scholar, but he looked mature and stable. This was what a man should look like. He was still handsome, but he did not lose his manliness! Coupled with his identity, he looked even more steady.
Subsequently, he brought the weapons he obtained from the monster hunting squad.
“Ding! The Saint Staff (flood-grade): Greatly boost healing abilities.”
“Ding! The Wind Spirit Bow (flood-grade): Greatly boost speed when releasing arrows.”
The increase from flood-grade weapons was at least 50%. It was why they were so valuable. Owning one was like possessing half the strength of an expert of the same level.
Lu Zhou could still give the Wind Spirit Bow away but the Saint Staff was a little useless. Then, he looked at his weapons on the system interface.
Weapon: Unnamed(unknown), Jade Horsetail Whisk(heaven-grade), Purple Glazed Tile(fusion-grade), Cold Wind Trident(basic desolate-grade), Confinement Seal(basic flood-grade), Dragon Eagle’s Fury(basic desolate-grade), Flash Hook(intermediate desolate-grade), Saint Staff(basis flood-grade), Wind Spirit Bow(basic flood-grade)
“Deconstruct?” Lu Zhou still had quite a bit of obsidian essences that he previously accumulated. With all the materials, he should be able to upgrade another weapon. However, he did not do so. He would give away the weapons that were of use to the others, and then, he would deconstruct those that were useless.
On second thought, most of the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion already possessed their own weapons. Most importantly, their compatibility with their weapons had long reached perfection. If he gave them new weapons, the weapons would need to acknowledge their owners, and they would have to work on their compatibility with their new weapons again. It was rather troublesome. Perhaps, it was better to accumulate more materials so they could upgrade their weapons later.
Lu Zhou muttered under his breath, “Deconstruct Flash Hook.”
“Ding! Deconstructed Flash Hook. Obtained: fire spirit stone x2, shining stone x1.”
“Not bad.”
“Deconstruct Cold Wind Trident.”
“Ding! Deconstructed Cold Wind Trident. Obtained: shining stone x1.”
“This is a bit of a loss, but it’s still better than nothing…”
“Deconstruct Dragon Eagle’s Fury.”
“Ding! Deconstructed Dragon Eagle’s Fury. Obtained: shining stone x1, fire spirit stone x1.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and lamented that his luck was not too good.
“I’ll probably gain a lot if I can deconstruct the mystic microstones…”
If I can disassemble the profound microstone… that would be a huge profit.”
He had obtained the mystic microstones from Xiao Yunhe that could upgrade and repair weapons.
Although obsidian essences were rare, fortunately, it was still possible to find them.
On the other hand, the mystic microstones could only be found in the Unknown Land, making them even rarer than obsidian essences.
After deconstructing three of the most useless weapons in his possession, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and meditated on the Heavenly Writing.
…
In the evening.
Lu Zhou walked out of the eastern pavilion. Lu Wu was very big so with just a glance, he could see where Lu Wu was.
Lu Zhou called out, “Lu Wu.”
Lu Wu slowly turned around slightly, facing the eastern pavilion, before it said, “Venerable… Master Lu… I have… a request…”
“Speak.”
“I seem to have offended your disciples. Can you… speak to them on my behalf?” Lu Wu asked awkwardly.
“…” Lu Zhou did not know what to say either. After a while, he said, “Don’t worry. They’re not as petty as you think.”
Lu Wu shook its head. It had finally figured it out; not all ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion were present. There were only a few of them here. All ten are future supreme beings.
Lu Wu was burning with determination as it thought to itself, ‘No! I have to explain myself clearly! If there’s even one petty person among the future supreme beings I offended today, I won’t have a good ending in the future!’
Then, Lu Wu said in a small voice, “Venerable Master Lu… my request is just a small one…”
