Chapter 813: The Chase

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Given his humble background, Lu Shu was not good at acting cool. Thus, he always worried that he might look “low” when he tried to impress.

He had finally made a show that he was satisfied with, but the squad leader did not understand him at all.

The main advantage of the squad was their uniform and skin color, but not their Mandarin. In fact, they had wanted to recruit a fluent Chinese speaker, but failed.

Actually, some of them were familiar with conversational Chinese, but their accent would easily give them away.

Thus, it would be more worthy to invest in those with stronger powers, not better speakers. Anyway, they should be able to secure their victory so long as they could approach a Heavenly Network squad without being exposed, considering their high average abilities.

One of the members, who had a bit of knowledge in Chinese, translated after some consideration, “He said that our clothes are ugly.”

The squad leader was confused.

“Did he find trouble with us just because of our clothes?” another person asked. The mistranslation had led their thinking onto a completely wrong track. “Should we take off our clothes then?”

The leader glanced at them coldly. The remarks showed that the two men were in fear.

They were suggesting they should strip themselves so as to avoid being killed? What a joke!

Nevertheless, Lu Shu was truly a nightmarish enemy.

Memories, scenes filled with gore and violence, overwhelmed the squad all of a sudden. Images flashed across their eyes – the two Class C’s broken necks, the cracking of their bones, stormy waters, and lastly, the composed yet firm look on Lu Shu’s face.

“Retreat,” ordered the squad leader calmly, “Back to the camp!”

Everyone in the team heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this command. None of them were willing to face the boy again.

Meanwhile, Lu Shu was confused about one thing... Why did the distress points come in so late?!

Should he not receive a wave of points right after he said it to their face? historical

Then, Lu Shu suddenly came to realize that they might not understand Chinese!

That was very probable!

But how could a team who disguised as Heavenly Network not understand Chinese?! Lu Shu was furious!

However, Lu Shu suffered a minor wound due to the fight at the pond. Yet, it was still worth it, to be able to weaken the power of the team.

Truth be told, the plan to slaughter the entire team was not the only reason Lu Shu had lured them into the chase in the first place. He was also interested in the individual powers of each member.

In fact, the greatest advantage of fighting overseas was that your opponent would never know what type of powers you had. Thus, it would do you a huge disservice if your assumed-water-type rival turned out to be a fire type.

In another case, it would not be nice either if you had always feared that your opponent might have fatal trump cards up his sleeves, but in fact he only had useless powers like Chen Zuan’s exceptional appetite...

Since the dawn of the magical era, the Heavenly Network had enforced a uniform system for all members to practice cultivation and unleash their potential through cultivation techniques. Over time, the misconception that culturally rich regions would produce more talented Practitioners had been corrected.

Undeniably, the generation of new talents in the Phoenix Society was not as effective as that in the Heavenly Network because their members’ innate potential was not fully exploited.

Moreover, the Heavenly Network was better in group battles because an ordinary Class D fighter would be severely disadvantaged when he was unclear about the attacking techniques used by his opponents. In this situation, their flying swords would not be of much use.

In Lu Shu’s current knowledge, the biggest threat in the enemy squad was the Class B earth-type Metahuman. He would cause quite a headache, whether he planned on a sneak attack or an escape.

But Lu Shu had realized in no time that the squad had started to retreat back to the Tiger Back. Thus, Lu Shu followed them closely behind, while cautious about any potential traps or ambush they might have set if they were merely putting on a show.

Surprisingly, though, Lu Shu had come to understand that their determination to retreat was real.

How could Lu Shu let them do that? He had put in so much effort for them to stay!

But Lu Shu was patient. He followed behind them unhurriedly. Although those people could notice his presence through subtle traces in the woods, Lu Shu could conveniently locate them given his sensory abilities.

The huge energy waves emitted from those people rendered them easily spottable in the forest. They were like lanterns in the darkness.

At nightfall, the squad showed no sign of slowing down. They wanted to get across the Ladder River as fast as they could before Lu Shu could catch them. Otherwise, their chances were slim if they had to fight in water.

Furthermore, on the vast land between the Ladder River and their Tiger Back campsite, there were no more large water areas. Hence, they would no longer have to worry about Lu Shu’s ambush in the water.

At this moment, the squad leader suddenly said, “We should avoid the Ladder River. It’s better to take a long route than to take risks. It’s possible that he is already waiting for us at the river. As you know, it’s highly likely that he can reach there before us if he wants to, given the fact that he’s even stronger than me!”

Meanwhile, the other members were simply in a hurry to get across the river. But now they realized that their leader had a point.

“I advise that we should not make a blind retreat. All hopes will be lost against him if we exhaust ourselves in the journey. Thus, why not have a rest before we take the long route? I suppose his plan is to wait for us at the Ladder River since that’s where he can manifest his power to the greatest,” said the leader.

The other people agreed with him. Then, they found an open space and prepared for the night.

After a while, the leader had to urinate. No one offered to accompany him, even though all of them were aware that acting alone at the moment would make himself an easy target. However, all the other people were secretly hoping that the Class B leader would have a fight with the boy so that the rest could have time to escape.

After all, a Class B expert would not die that fast.

Nevertheless, at this moment, the air-type Metahuman suddenly sensed something wrong. Someone was coming towards them from the west. Even the atmosphere was trembling with them!

The boy had not gone after the leader. He had come to slaughter the five of them first!
