Chapter 99: Lu Ming’s Thoughts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Are you the legendary Brother Lu?”
Staring at Lu Ming in front of him, Chang Yi slowly narrowed his eyes.
Strong!
Chang Yi’s first impression on Lu Ming was that he was strong!
He was 2.3 meters, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, his bare arms were even thicker than Chang Yi’s thighs.
His facial features were still considered decent, but compared to his exaggerated physique, his facial features did not seem as important.
Opposite Chang Yi, Lu Ming slowly stood up and looked down at Chang Yi.
“Yes, I’m Lu Ming.”
“I heard that you wanted to meet me?”
Chang Yi nodded gently, “Yes.”
Then, the two of them fell silent…
Lu Ming’s build brought some pressure to Chang Yi.
But not much.
Physique could not determine combat power – otherwise, Tanks would be the most powerful.
Even if Lu Ming was tall and strong, it did not matter. The key was, what level was this Lu Ming?
Therefore, after a simple conversation, Chang Yi did not speak anymore – he did not need words to get the answer. He just needed to activate his mind-reading ability, and Lu Ming would naturally tell him everything without missing a thing.
Lu Ming’s reaction was also simple—he did not say much.
The atmosphere began to become awkward and abstract.
Lu Ming remained expressionless, but Chang Yi’s brows gradually furrowed.
It was because…
He could not hear Lu Ming’s thoughts!
Lu Ming had no thoughts!
This can’t be!
Chang Yi thought to himself.
This was because the Mind Listening ability was not an ability that could be resisted by strength.
The effectiveness of Mind Listening had nothing to do with the other person’s strength at all. As long as the other person had thoughts and intentions, no matter how strong he was, he could not avoid Chang Yi hearing his thoughts.
“So what’s wrong with this person?!”
Chang Yi was puzzled when he suddenly received feedback from his Mind Listening.
“What does this person mean?”
He had heard Lu Ming’s thoughts!
Chang Yi was stunned for a moment before he heard Lu Ming speak.
“It’s you. You’re here to see me, right?”
Chang Yi nodded.
“What’s up?”
Chang Yi opened his mouth, but he did not know how to answer Lu Ming’s question.
He activated his Mind Listening Technique again.
“He came to find me, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t say why he came either. Is this person crazy?”
Chang Yi’s expression froze, and Lu Ming spoke again.
“You came to see me and have no idea why you came to see me? Are you crazy?”
Chang Yi’s face instantly turned beet-red.
He realized something.
Lu Ming was straightforward and spoke his mind.
What he said was what he thought!
He did not play any tricks—he said whatever he wanted…
In the face of such a person, it was useless to listen to his thoughts!
With a thought, Chang Yi went all out.
A smile appeared on his face as he said softly, “I’ve only been here for a short time, but I’ve often heard of Brother Lu’s name. I’m a Level 5 Awakened, but I’ve been told that Lu Ming’s strength is stronger than mine.”
“Therefore, I thought of visiting Brother Lu and sparring with Brother Lu to see if Brother Lu is stronger or I, Chang Yi, am stronger.
Yes, that’s right.
I won’t beat around the bush with you!
To put it bluntly, I’m here to challenge you.
By saying this, it must have provoked some reaction from you, surely?”
Sure enough, upon hearing Chang Yi’s words, Lu Ming frowned.
“Let’s spar?”
“Yes, a spar.”
“I’m sorry. I don’t like sparring with strangers.”
Lu Ming simply refused.
Sparring was too dangerous.
In any case, Lu Ming had heard from Wang Xiong, Zhao Yongchun, and the others that in the past, when they were practicing martial arts, they often had outsiders coming to challenge them.
When they encountered novices, they dealt with them casually.
However, if it was an expert challenging them, it was easy to run into problems during the spar.
Fighting, if not done seriously, could not determine one’s level. But once it was done seriously, it was not easy to hold back and injuries could happen.
‘What if I get injured? Wouldn’t that delay my regular training? There’s no need to mess up the rhythm of my own life over such a small matter.’
Mind Listening captured Lu Ming’s thoughts again.
This made Chang Yi frown again, “Training? Brother Lu, do you like to train?”
Lu Ming nodded. “Yes.”
“But this has nothing to do with you. In short, let’s skip the sparring. Fists and kicks have no eyes. I have no grudge or grievances with you. There’s no need for a fight.”
After saying this, Lu Ming did not want to chat with Chang Yi anymore…
In Lu Ming’s eyes, the matter was actually very simple.
This person believed himself to be strong and wanted to spar with me.
However, he did not want to exchange blows with him.
You have no right to force me to do something 1 don’t want to do, right?
Now that the matter was clear, Lu Ming felt that this matter was resolved.
He turned around and was about to return home when he heard Chang Yi’s voice again from behind.
“Are you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid of you. I just don’t think it’s necessary.
I don’t fear you. I just feel it’s unnecessary.”
Chang Yi said agitatedly, “It’s just a spar, just a spar! just once, 1 just want to see how strong you are.”
“No, what does my strength have to do with you?
How strong I am has nothing to do with you, right?”
After saying this, Lu Ming had already opened the door and walked into the house.
Chang Yi was left standing at the door of Lu Ming’s house with a dumbfounded expression.
Until Gao Junyi gently tugged at Chang Yi’s sleeve.
“Brother Chang, you’ve seen Brother Lu. To be honest, Brother Lu’s temper is like this. Please don’t take offense.”
With that, Gao Junyi said apologetically, “Shall we go back first?”
Chang Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at Gao Junyi.
His face twitched, and he could no longer suppress the violence in his heart!
Three days, three days, and another three days…
“Do you know how 1 survived these nine days?!”
The suppressed growl made Gao Junyi involuntarily take two steps back.
Chang Yi roared at the sky, “I, Chang Yi! The chosen one! The number one in the world!
I’m Level 5! I’m the strongest in Nanxiang!
In the end, when I came to your official shelter, I was frightened and aggrieved by Brother Lu for nine whole days!
Now, 1 want to spar with you. That’s because 1 gave you face! In the end, you treat me like this! This is how you treat me!!”
There was a “Snap” sound.
The window on the second floor of Lu Ming’s house opened. Lu Ming stood at the window and looked at Chang Yi, frowning as he said.
“I’m going to take a nap, keep your voice down.” ‘What’s wrong with this person? Shouting loudly outside someone else’s house. It’s a pity that there are no mental hospitals in this post-apocalyptic world…’
Chang Yi felt his anger rising.
I’m the protagonist!
I’m the protagonist of a cool and exciting story!
After reaching Level 5,1, Chang Yi, decided that any hit of displeasure would be disrespectful to my strength.
And here you are, a straight-talking impulsive fool, are you going to brush me off and belittle me just like that?!
He instantly recalled the defeat he had suffered in front of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
Taking a deep breath, Chang Yi angrily smiled and said, “I can’t bear it anymore!”
“My name is Chang Yi. Remember this!
Lu Ming! The one who killed you! Chang Yi!!”
His telekinesis erupted in an instant.
It shot towards Lu Ming like a cannonball!
Chang Yi saw that Lu Ming was standing there like a fool, and not moving.
Until the telekinetic cannonball shattered the window on the second floor and smashed straight into Lu Ming’s face.
Boom!
Lu Ming did not move, but his face wrinkled for a moment before returning to normal a second later.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over Chang Yi’s head.
Without another word, he stood at attention and bowed 90 degrees to Lu Ming. “I’m sorry, Brother Lu. I was impulsive. Please forgive me..”
