Lu Shu intended to look for them on his own. Based on their records, they did not sell any magical stones or weapons, which ,meant they had them all in their own pocket!
At that moment, Lu Shu felt that his power gave him greater responsibilities. Just watch, people! He was the one who would take care of the dangers!
Honestly speaking, although Zhong Yutang told him not to reveal his power and military ranking, Lu Shu only intended to run some errands for his team and steal goods when necessary. With his humble character, he would not be that noticeable in a group of arrogant geniuses.
But even Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin did not expect that Lu Shu had won his reputation in the Heavenly Network through the running fights in the Capital.
Regardless of his aptitude, his ability as a Class C already spoke volumes of his hard power, the top-tier under the Heavenly Kings.
In addition, in the running fights, he even had the guts to fight back against over a hundred veterans, it was an impressive act.
It might be an exaggeration to crown him as the first man below the Heavenly Kings, because there were a few Class C freaks in the Network, who were double trained in cultivation and power awakening.
However, at the very least, Lu Shu was above average among the Class C’s. At first, Hao Zhichao attributed his failure to the prohibition on the use of his flying daggers. But after second thoughts, Lu Shu’s speed could still very well defeat him if he failed to fatally wound Lu Shu with his first move of daggers.
As a result, Lu Shu was soon highly respected by all students. Everybody knew that the veterans held him in high regard, and that he managed to escape the chase of over a hundred veterans.
Moreover, at the present moment, Chen Zuan’s stand was clear. Whenever someone suggested an investigation, Chen Zuan would insist that he should wait for Lu Shu.
Chen Zuan’s lack of courage was obvious. He would never dare to complete the mission without Lu Shu, and thus no one took action.
Then, the team wanted to follow Cao Qingci as the new leader, who was at the peak of Class D and with military merits on her record. After the urban survival, the geniuses had relinquished their airs and learned humility.
Since Cao Qingci had both experience and power, the team was expecting a response from her.
However, she did not express any disagreement with Chen Zuan’s plan to wait for Lu Shu.
Therefore, be it playing cards or sleep, everyone was waiting for Lu Shu’s return in the past two days!
That made Lu Shu even more mysterious. With so many veterans discussing him everyday, it was an open secret now that he was a Class C…
The first Class C in the Daoyuan Class! A Major! He was the epitome of the word “invincible”!
At that moment, Lu Shu was deliberating about his convenient plan of stealing something after the extermination of all their targets. After all, he could not carry it too far in his teammates presence. Take what he could and leave the rest.
Since he had made a wise guess that the target’s stronghold was concealed underneath the market, Lu Shu was tempted…
Would a person die only when his neck was twisted 180 degrees? Maybe not… If the purple golden gourd was used directly on top of someone, it might not break his neck, but would surely sprain it…
Hiding in a private place, Lu Shu retrieved his gourd from his Seal of Lands. Ever since the flying dagger went in, Lu Shu had respectfully changed its address from the head-twisting gourd to the purple, golden gourd. As for whether he had remembered the name of the dagger correctly, Lu Shu was still uncertain. If he could not, wouldn’t it be a shame on him?
A scan with his magical instincts revealed that the filth on the dagger had already been removed, and it was hovering in the gourd, glimmering with celestial sparkles on its blade.
Instead of making it more powerful, the sparkles felt more like a connection between the dagger and Lu Shu himself…
However, although he had not mustered enough courage to directly call out its name, Lu Shu felt an expectant stir in his heart. Needless to mention how mighty the master in the Investiture of the Gods was, no one could stop him if he wanted someone dead.
Of course, Lu Shu believed that it was partially due to the master’s power as well. According to the legend, he was the fiery spirit of the Sun and the son of the Elf Emperor Jun, the Prince of the elf race. He was omnipotent. He could slay his opponents effortlessly without even a weapon. Lu Shu was well aware that the lethality of magical weapons was directly proportional to the wielder’s power.
In reality, it would not make sense if a Class F weakling could hack a Class A with some supreme weapon. It was not realistic either.
But! That was still awesome! It was the master’s treasure!
Holding the purple, golden gourd in his palms, Lu Shu’s face was full of anticipation. Success or failure was dependent on the moment. With all sincerity, he whispered, “Please turn around, baby!”
In the next second, there was a disturbance in the gourd. Suddenly, the flying dagger… turned around inside…
Lu Shu was utterly confused, I told you to turn and you really turned in the gourd?!
What the hell!
Lu Shu did not buy it!
“Please come out, baby!”
“Please kill, baby!”
“Please dance, baby!”
“Please say something, baby!”
“Please… please screw yourself!” Lu Shu was frustrated. The dagger completely ignored him except for the first sentence!
He wanted to control the gourd and the dagger. But now, they did not seem to listen to him!
Sure enough it was an unreliable gourd!
At that moment Lu Shu had the urge to smack the gourd on the floor, but did not really want to…
Stuck in an awkward situation, Lu Shu totally had no idea how to lure it out of the gourd. He could see it but could not use it.
What happened to this world? Even flying daggers had become so cunning?
So what now? To confront the twenty-one people head on? Looking at the market below from a building nearby, Lu Shu was hesitant. He was uncertain about the circumstances down there and reckless moves were never in Lu Shu’s dictionary.
He had confidence, though, about how to locate the targets precisely.
If the head-twisting gourd was still functioning, he could make use of his celestial powers to pinpoint his rivals.
When he bought it at the black market that time, he sensed Spirit Qi waves welling up the gourd when Li Dian pronounced Yue Yunpeng’s name.
And now, he needed to confirm whether the five missing people were really underneath the market.
Lu Shu opened his digital memorandum, “Pan Hongyang!”
No reaction…
“Zhang Jinglin!”
No reaction…
Dammit! Even the original functions were no longer working?! This was his newly developed killer weapon, and it could not be any more unreliable!
