Chapter 170: Lu Xuan’s Great Power
“Awesome! Humanity’s champions are awesome!”
“What’s the name of this champion of humanity? If we have someone this awesome here in Huaxia, I need to go and check him out!”
“I want to be his disciple. I also want to cultivate, leap on roofs, vault over walls, and become a hero!”
After the short moment of stunned silence, all the viewers burst out in an uproar.
When they had confirmation that Lu Xuan had successfully slain the White Ape King, the worry they had felt over the past few days was all swept away.
Monsters were still extremely fierce and powerful, but humanity was not without its own champions, and they even had masters of unparalleled strength who could easily give the White Ape King a thrashing.
With this strong an ability, it would probably be normal for him to take on several of such enemies at once.
When they thought about it, a majority of the people felt much more relieved.
Even more of them wanted to become his disciple, though they knew that the probability of successfully getting him to take them in was low. After all, for someone that strong, if he were to accept disciples, they had to be one-of-a-kind geniuses.
Still, who knew? Maybe they would be that genius Cultivator blessed with miraculous talent.
For many, it was hard not to hold out hope for such a possibility!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was especially true for those who finally saw what a real top-tier master’s strength looked like after watching Lu Xuan’s fight. They realized that if their own cultivation was successful, they could possess that kind of power one day.
Moreover, that was not even the ceiling of a Cultivator’s strength. In the future, they could become even stronger, and this thought moved the hearts of all.
A cultivation craze was about to begin.
And right at that moment, their screens went dark, as the live broadcast came to an end.
Lu Xuan did not care about the commotion that was being raised outside. After he had Ming Yueyao turn off the live broadcast, he chopped off the huge head of the White Ape King with a single slash, its skull almost as big as Lu Xuan himself.
“Now, you can go hand in this head for your assignment!” Lu Xuan said.
“Thank you so much, Mister Lu!”
At this point in time, Ming Yueyao still seemed to be in a daze, stunned by Lu Xuan’s frightening capabilities.
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have never believed that Lu Xuan could possess such terrifying power.
The White Ape King’s fearsomeness was not as weak as it might have appeared. The viewers watching from the live broadcast probably could not feel the White Ape King’s horrific strength through the video screen.
However, for someone like her, who was on the scene, she was able to personally feel the fear induced by its terrible aura. It had almost left her utterly crushed.
She could keenly sense the disparity in their strength!
There was too large of a gap between a Divine Level and an Invincible Vajra!
It was no wonder that along the way, various masters from the Agency of Special Affairs had tried and failed to defeat the White Ape King. There was even a provincial chief from the Agency of Special Affairs who had almost been torn into pieces by the White Ape King.
Yet, such a formidable existence could not stand up to a single blow from Lu Xuan.
This contrast finally put Lu Xuan’s fearsome strength into perspective for her.
“No need to thank me. This White Ape King was too impudent. The tall tree that sticks out of the forest will be blown over, and I don’t mind being the strong wind that does so!”
Lu Xuan laughed lightly, feeling somewhat amused. In his past life, he had been the one to stick out and had been targeted by countless other strong masters who wanted to kill him, though none had succeeded.
“This should be enough pressure to stop those people itching to make a move for a while!” Lu Xuan remarked impassively.
“Those people itching to make a move?” Ming Yueyao asked. She seemed to vaguely understand who Lu Xuan was referring to, but she still felt like she could not grasp the full picture.
It was a feeling that left her deeply puzzled.
“You can’t be thinking that the White Ape King was moving only by its own accord?” Lu Xuan asked coolly.
“Of course not. Wasn’t it working with other kings of monsters?” Ming Yueyao recalled that the information she read mentioned this.
Lu Xuan shook his head, replying, “It’s not that simple. Those kings of monsters are just one part of the faction behind all this. At this time, an environment of unity would be the most beneficial for the Agency of Special Affairs. However, to those factions that want to make a move, this is putting a damper on their own development, restricting them from acting freely!”
“So you’re saying that those organizations are supporting the White Ape King?” As the words left Ming Yueyao’s mouth, she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She was well aware of the strength of these organizations. Compared to the Agency of Special Affairs, one or two of them were still incomparable.
However, if many of those organizations and factions allied together, even the Agency of Special Affairs would have to back off from them.
These organizations, sects, families, and factions were very big, and they had connections deeply embedded across the entirety of Huaxia. They even had considerable influence in the rest of the world.
Over these past years, as the national strength of Huaxia had undergone tremendous growth, the strength of these factions was growing at the same speed. It could be said that they would rise and fall together with Huaxia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf even these factions had such thoughts, then it would be tantamount to an unprecedented disaster for the Agency of Special Affairs.
“Not necessarily!”
Lu Xuan shook his head, explaining, “They may not all be offering their support in the background. But as long as they remain a passive observer to these problems, it’s no different from giving their support!”
“How dare they? What kind of benefits could they possibly gain from the rise of the monsters?” When Ming Yueyao heard all this, she was filled with a mix of shock and anger.
From Lu Xuan’s point of view, her previous ideas were somewhat naive. She had believed that they could rely on those powerful factions to cooperate and form a small squad of Invincible Vajra level masters.
She was still too simple, thinking that mankind’s sense of justice was enough to gather these people together to work for them.
“Of course, they can benefit. At the very least, the pressure your Agency of Special Affairs is putting on them will be lessened. They don’t necessarily want to see the monsters defeat humanity and take over the world, but if it tips the balance of power in their favor by weakening the Agency of Special Affairs to a level they are satisfied with, that would be the best-case scenario for them!”
Lu Xuan came from a previous life and naturally saw through what these factions were thinking perfectly clearly.
These factions did not want to completely overthrow the Agency of Special Affairs. A chaotic world with nobody to lead the various strong factions was also not favorable for their own growth.
Moreover, they still needed to rely on the Agency of Special Affairs to fight back against invading factions of foreign Cultivators.
However, at this time, the Agency of Special Affairs was way too strong. Initially, there was only one unparalleled master in the Dragon, but even though he was strong, it was not enough to make them feel stifled.
However, when Lu Xuan provided the Agency of Special Affairs with runic ammunition, it was like the Agency’s power had redoubled.
It allowed even the ordinary people in the Agency of Special Affairs to pose a lethal threat to master Cultivators.
It completely negated the numbers advantage in Cultivators that the various factions held.
This was the reason why the factions were beginning to grow anxious. They were thinking of borrowing the monsters’ strength to weaken the Agency of Special Affairs. historical
In the same way that the Agency of Special Affairs relied on their cooperation for many things, they also needed the Agency of Special Affairs’ coordination and leadership for many problems.
Ming Yueyao finally came to understand the convoluted relationship behind all this. They were in both cooperation and conflict with the various factions, and it was definitely not something that could be explained simply with a single sentence.
“Sometimes, not resisting is a form of support!” Lu Xuan said. “Even so, this fight should be enough to keep them on the straight and narrow for some time. At least, before they have a full grasp of my identity and my abilities, they won’t dare to start any trouble!”
