Chapter 618: Lu Shu’s Trump Card
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just imagine it, how desperate it would be when you were sandwiched between hundreds of soldiers of the sea from both sides!
It was said that when Lu Shu was having a good time earning distress points, a boy, thinking that they were about to die, bravely confessed his feelings to another girl. “I only wish to leave the world together with you, though we did not have the luck to come to this world together.”
The girl, deeply moved, rejected him in the end.
However, some stories had happy endings too. Chen Zuan heard a boy confessed to another boy, and the latter accepted…
Thus, mixed feelings welled up in their hearts when they realized the approaching team was their own comrades…
Many people were wondering, how could the 42nd Battalion be so ridiculously unreliable and reliable at the same time?
They were said to be unreliable because apparently they were scaring everyone off by dressing that way. Yet at the same time they were strong warriors. Under Lu Shu’s leaders.h.i.+p, they destroyed the enemies’ formation, leaving piles of bronze armor behind and no major injuries among their people…
Hence, the team was regarded with a combination of respect and annoyance by their beneficiaries. Undeniably, though, the flood of bronze had gradually become the guardian angel that provided everyone with a sense of security.
Nonetheless, some people could not catch up during the intense fight.
It was not because of their low abilities, but exhaustion!
After all, they had to run around continuously to provide help whenever needed.
A soldier of the sea took advantage of this and stabbed a person’s thigh through the slit in his bronze armor. Lu Shu immediately stopped and shouted, “Man down! Protect him!”
By right, it was not a strategic move, because the slowdown could put the team at risk of being surrounded by enemies.
But Lu Shu did not care about that. His people’s safety took top priority!
The 42nd Battalion immediately formed into a defensive circle with the injured man in the center. Mo Chengkong roared, “Carry the injured comrade and run on Brother Shu’s command!”
In the meantime, more and more people of the sea encircled them from the outside.
Mo Chengkong mumbled softly, “G.o.d bless us. I don’t want to die here.”
That was the most they could do. Even pract.i.tioners could not withstand a battle of such high intensity for five hours. Chen Zuan sneered. “Die in the hands of these people of the sea? Oh come on, they are nothing in front of Lu Shu. No one dies today. Trust me!”
Mo Chengkong was dumbfounded. He did not know why Chen Zuan was so confident about Lu Shu!
At this critical moment, a ring sounded in between the heaven and earth. Beams of purple thunder aurablade shot out from Lu Shu’s body. They exploded in the sky like the most beautiful fireworks, capturing the attention of everyone in the darkness!
Ring! Ring! Ring!
In the center of the circular formation, Lu Shu closed his eyes, fully concentrated in attacking the army of the sea with his aurablade. He tried his best so that every beam could penetrate an enemy’s unprotected skull!
It was easy to focus on one target, but not so with too many targets simultaneously. Even Lu Shu could not do it perfectly.
Inevitably, some aurablade missed the point and hit the bronze armor. Actually, Lu Shu himself had underestimated the power of the thunder aurablade too. Not only could they deal a direct blow to the enemies, they could also transmit electricity via bronze armor…
“His trump card, finally,” Chen Zuan exclaimed, looking at the flying thunder aurablade.
Lu Shu was also aware that the restoration of his aurablade took time, which made it only a trump card at the critical moment. Nonetheless, he also knew that his people were at their limits.
Therefore, he would put a stop to the battle.
All eyes were drawn to Lu Shu, who was focused on controlling the aurablade. At this instant, Chen Zuan suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, “Brave on! Don’t disgrace our Battalion! Kill them!”
In the next second, Chen Zuan was the first to dash out, his face looking fierce. All of a sudden, the trapped 42nd Battalion dispersed outwards and destroyed whatever that stood in their way!
Only then did people learn about Lu Shu’s true, terrific power.
The army of the sea retreated back to the sea. Those whose skulls were punctuated had vanished into dust, but others who had been electrocuted could be dealt with later.
After the intense fight, everyone of the 42nd Battalion was on the verge of breakdown under their 50kg armor. All of them collapsed to the floor, the view of which caught other battalions in awe.
“Can someone please lend me a hand? I can’t stand up. I’m freaking tired,” someone shouted.
“I want it too. Never mind. We won’t die with Brother Shu here…”
“Haha, we’ll be dead if there’s another wave of sea soldiers now.”
“Don’t worry. We have Brother Shu!”
Chen Zuan, lying on the ground, could barely move his head. “Are you okay, Xuemei?”
No response. Flurried, Chen Zuan yelled, “Xuemei?! Where are you, Xuemei? Brother Shu, help me look for Xuemei!”
As he shouted, Chen Zuan mustered all his remaining energy and stood up. His armor clashed with his movement.
At this moment, a small hand held his palm. “I’m fine. I’m right beside you. Go on and have a rest. I need a rest too. You’ve changed my impression of you, Zuan.”
Someone shouted grumpily, “You heard that? Blatant PDA 1 !”
That was followed by a wave of laughter. Everyone was in a miserable state, but they had won the battle.
Other Daoyuan Cla.s.s students who had rushed over were dumbstruck by the scene. Lu Shu was still standing on the battlefield while the rest were on the floor. It was said that the leader determined how his team was like, and that was why Lu Xiaoyu could lead a strong, unbeatable team of girls.
Then how about this team? What kind of leader did they have?
Other people quickly supported Mo Chengkong and the rest to stand on their feet. They said with all sincerity, “It was a wonderful fight.”
