Chapter 115: Invincible Lu (Part 2)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Late at night, twenty military trucks advanced towards Mt Beimang. There wasn’t much of a nightlife in the small city of Luo Cheng, it was mostly just lonely young men and women drinking in small bars.
Lu Shu looked at the scenery of the city from the military truck and suddenly felt like the next time he’s back might be a long time later.
Once they reached Mt Beimang, the place was already cordoned off. Every vehicle that pa.s.sed by had to go through a thorough examination by a group of strict soldiers.
Lu Shu and his group had no idea when this place was cordoned off. Some places on the mountain were lit up, and a huge white searchlight was moving around in search of anything suspicious.
There were many soldiers here, and many of them looked ready for battle. They were situated all over the place but they all faced a general direction… Outwards.
As the other students witnessed this scene of armed soldiers, they truly realize the magnitude of the situation. They weren’t here for a field trip!
And these troops were obviously guarding against something from below the mountain rather than atop.
Lu Shu understood that this was an action to prevent random pract.i.tioners from coming and stealing the resources of the ancient remains.
Despite that, Mt Beimang was huge and unless an entire regiment was here, it was rather impossible to secure the perimeters of the entire mountain.
But all of these people were professionals and Lu Shu didn’t see a need for him to worry about this issue.
Military tents were scattered across a big plot of land on the mountain. Many soldiers were still busy working on the tents and many of them were covered in sweat.
There were numerous tents, and there were even temporary toilets constructed. Not far away were a few soldiers cooking, and the rich aroma could be smelled.
Lu Shu suddenly felt this seemed like it’s going to be a long fight. Tents, toilets, everything seemed to point to the fact that everyone will be staying here for a long time.
After the daoyuan students got off the vehicles, form teachers started a.s.signing tents to everyone. These were the ones which were just pitched by the soldiers, and each cla.s.s was a.s.signed two tents, with each tent housing about twenty people.
It felt like a training camp in the army, but the atmosphere was tenser.
After being a.s.signed their tents, the students gathered for their meal. They were so meticulous to prepare food for everyone! Was it because it was late here and they estimated that it’s been some time since everyone had their last meal?
At this time, Lu Shu noticed a few soldiers waiting by the side after they were done with their work. They didn’t speak, but all of them looked towards the car loaded with meals. They were evidently hungry.
Daoyuan cla.s.s had not done any work, while these soldiers toiled for who knows how long, but the students were given the priority to the meals.
This wasn’t because of the high status of daoyuan cla.s.s but the tradition of the soldiers: to always care for the civilians more. When there was food, civilians would eat first, and when there’s danger, they would escape first.
No matter which unit, they stuck close to this tradition.
Daoyuan students looked at each other while the soldiers stood around, seemingly prepared for a fight which could happen any moment. The students, meanwhile, were preparing to train as they enjoyed the shelter of the tents and the good food.
Only at this moment did some students realize that even though pract.i.tioners had claimed to want to protect the world and uphold peace, they were the ones who were protected when something really happened.
“Teacher, we’re not hungry. Let them eat first,” Someone said to Xi Fei suddenly.
Xi Fei replied calmly, “If you guys feel for them, eat quickly and cut the nonsense. They can only eat after you are done.”
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and queued quietly for their food.
One by one, they got plates to get their food. The food was good, the portion of chicken was huge and it smelled good as well.
Lu Shu thanked the chef as he collected his meal, and Liu Li, who was behind him, suddenly blurted, “Lu Shu’s tastebuds are going to get lucky today, The food here is probably much better than his at home.”
Even amid the tense atmosphere, some people managed to sneak a few giggles.
Lu Shu didn’t have the mood to care about them now as the soldiers were waiting. He feared he would delay their meal if he caused trouble, so he went to a corner with his plate in his hand.
Liu Li and his gang ate not far away from Lu Shu, and a rather fat student started to complain, “We don’t even have a chair.”
One of the soldiers heard his words and quickly brought a stool over, a stool which was originally taken by that soldier. After giving the stool away, the soldier sat on the floor, while the remaining troops sat neatly while waiting for the rest of the soldiers still collecting their food.
The little fatty whispered, “He should have done that a long time ago.”
Lu Shu, with his plate in his hand, walked over, “Get up.”
In this world, you might respect a person but that person does not necessarily have to respect you. But when someone else respects you, you should try your best to respect that person as well. Nowadays, some youths, being the sole child, have been spoilt and do not know basic courtesy and respect.
The little fatty was rather awkward, “It’s none of your business.”
Just as he ended his statement, Lu Shu’s controlled palm smacked onto this fatty’s face. Bam. This slap sounded crisp and loud.
How much strength did Lu Shu have now? Even if he controlled his strength, this fatty spun a few rounds out of the stool and was sprawled on the ground, with his food all over his body.
That student was giddy and could not get up immediately.
Everyone stayed silent and looked at Lu Shu in fear. In reality, this was the first time they had seen Lu Shu being really angry!
So…Lu Shu will get angry as well….
This student on the floor had trained at least six to seven small cycles. His strength should be that of a few hundred pounds, but he could not even retaliate against Lu Shu. Only then did everyone know that Lu Shu was truly a strength-based metahuman.
As everyone had not finished training the mysterious senses chapter, or had not learned offensive techniques, no one could match up against Lu Shu in this cla.s.s!
Liu Li glared at Lu Shu coldly, and Lu Shu stared back calmly. In the end, Liu Li did not have the courage to sound anything out to Lu Shu.
The currently calm Lu Shu seemed to exude the aura of a demon king. His sole imposing manner had suppressed the entire cla.s.s!
XI Fei walked over, “What’s happening?”
After he understood the situation, he helped the student up. Everyone hurriedly finished their meals and went out once they were done. Through the entire process, no one said anything about this incident.
