章節 26: One Month Martial Master Lu Huai
編輯: Dragon Boat Translation
"Martial Venerable Luo, I have no reason to lie to you."
"We're all humans. Why would I conceal something like this from you?"
Seeing the look of disbelief on Luo Shui's face, Liu Changqing was not surprised.
Not to mention Luo Shui, even he, himself, was confused.
How could he possibly be hiding anything?
Seeing the serious expression on Liu Changqing's face as he said that, Luo Shui could not help but be stunned.
She had a good personal relationship with Liu Changqing, so she knew that Liu Changqing was not a person who liked to joke.
However, she still found it difficult to believe.
"Are you serious?"
Luo Shui said in disbelief, "But he's a martial master."
There was a reason why Luo Shui repeatedly emphasized that he was a martial master.
In the records that the alliance had, even the fastest SS-grade genius had only reached the martial apprentice realm in a single month. They could not even reach the martial warrior realm.
Moreover, such a genius still needed several years to reach the martial master realm, even if he received personal lessons from a super expert.
It was not like she had never seen an SS-grade genius before.
Could it be that a gradeless genius is just that amazing?
"Becoming a martial master in just a month, do you know what that entails?" Luo Shui's tone was very serious.
Truthfully, it was not just Luo Shui but Liu Changqing also had many questions that he wanted to ask Lu Huai.
However, Lu Huai had just gone through a huge battle and was clearly very exhausted, so it was really not convenient to question him at the moment.
What Lu Huai needed the most right now was rest.
"I do, but how about we wait for Lu Huai to recover first and then ask him?"
"There are many things that even I am not clear about."
After saying that, Liu Changqing turned around and looked at Lu Huai with concern in his eyes.
"Fine," she replied.
Seeing Liu Changqing turn around, Luo Shui also looked at Lu Huai curiously.
With the help of the veterans, the exhausted Lu Huai was brought back to the railcar to rest.
"Woof!"
Seeing Lu Huai return to his room, Big Black raised its head and barked. Then, it went back to lying down and staying silent.
Lu Huai could not help but laugh when he saw Big Black's expression.
It seemed that Big Black had not been worried that anything bad would happen at all. Otherwise, with its personality, it would definitely have shunned him again.
After returning to his room, Lu Huai felt a strong sense of fatigue fill his body.
The blood and qi in his body had been completely depleted in the battle just now.
There was not a single drop of blood and qi left in his body.
Although he was not injured, he was in a truly sorry state.
He could also tell that Liu Changqing and the martial venerable called Luo Shui had many questions they wanted to ask him.
"Ask me whatever you want after I recover. For now, I want to rest," he said weakly.
"Of course." Liu Changqing nodded and closed the door for Lu Huai.
Everyone in the surroundings gathered at the edge of his room.
Liu Changqing did not want them to disturb Lu Huai's recovery, so he said, "Everyone, disperse."
"Those of you who have learned recovery-type martial skills, help the veterans with their injuries."
The veterans had just gone through a huge battle. Some were injured, some were disabled, and all of them had horrific wounds on their bodies.
They needed treatment much more than Lu Huai did.
Although Liu Changqing also wanted someone to treat Lu Huai's injuries, he could see that Lu Huai was just exhausted and not injured at all.
When everyone saw Liu Changqing return to the railcar, they knew that he was the powerful being who had just saved them.
As if they had just woken up from a dream, they all called for the martial artists with recovery-type martial skills.
"Martial Venerable Luo, we can only wait for Lu Huai to recover before asking him questions."
Seeing that Lu Huai had gone to rest, Liu Changqing said to Luo Shui with some regret in his tone.
"Okay," she said.
Actually, Luo Shui had already arrived at some of her own conclusions after hearing the discussions of the people around her.
It was also because of this that Luo Shui's curiosity about Lu Huai grew even stronger.
"I recall that the railcar should have surveillance equipment. Can I take a look at its recordings?"
Liu Changqing was stunned. He had forgotten this.
He immediately found a railcar attendant and showed them his Heavenly Divine Academy Token to obtain access to the surveillance footage.
In a small room in the railcar, several screens displayed everything that had taken place inside the railcar a few hours ago.
The screen in the very middle displayed the view outside the railcar.
The railcar was attacked by a demonic beast and was forced to stop.
The veterans then fearlessly rushed out of the railcar to intercept the demonic beasts.
Lu Huai suddenly appeared and threw a few punches, bravely killing the demonic beast.
Then, two hidden moon cats launched a sneak attack on Lu Huai, but he easily resolved them with a single blow.
...
All sorts of scenes flashed before the two of them.
The two martial venerables, Liu Changqing and Luo Shui, had solemn looks on their faces and did not speak as they watched the recordings of the battle earlier.
However, it could be seen from Liu Changqing's contracted pupils and Luo Shui's unconscious action of leaning forward that they were immensely shocked inwardly!
When the recordings got to the point where they helped Lu Huai back, the two of them fell silent for a long time.
After a while, Liu Changqing spoke.
"Martial Venerable Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Shui pondered for a moment, the shock in her eyes still apparent.
"Monster..."
"I've seen his information."
"He came from an ordinary background and does not have any backing. He just suddenly awakened a gradeless talent."
"But other than in the colosseum, he has no experience fighting against any demonic beasts."
"In the surveillance records, his every action was calm and calculated. Nevertheless, even I could not tell what he was planning..."
"He is definitely a natural-born fighter!"
Her words were full of praise for Lu Huai.
Everyone in the alliance would receive all sorts of education about demonic beasts from a young age.
They had seen countless gory videos, and they thus had a high tolerance for demonic beasts.
However, this did not mean that everyone could be like Lu Huai, who was able to exhibit amazing combat abilities on the battlefield the first time they got to fight.
Most martial artists, on their first time on the battlefield, would act similarly to how Liao An did in the surveillance records.
He was so scared that he peed his pants and cried for his parents.
However, Lu Huai's combat proficiency was extremely high.
Even she, a martial venerable, could not see through the depths of how he fought.
He really just seemed too experienced!
He gave off the impression of an experienced soldier who had been on the demonic beast battlefield for many years.
It was honestly terrifying!
Both of them had seen Lu Huai's information and knew that he had no prior combat experience.
Therefore, they could only attribute everything to his talent.
After all, it was not as if something similar to this had never happened in the alliance before.
"But there's something I don't understand."
"Lu Huai has only awakened for less than a month."
"How did he jump to the martial master realm so quickly?"
The recordings made Luo Shui completely abandon her previous thoughts.
After all, the truth was right in front of her.
But she still could not understand how he reached the martial master realm just one month after awakening.
If he was given more time, did it not mean that he could soon become a martial emperor?
She truly could not understand how Lu Huai had done it!
Liu Changqing pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Maybe... it's because a gradeless talent is just that special?"
"..."
This was equivalent to not saying anything.
She knew that a gradeless talent was special, but that did not mean that a martial artist with a gradeless talent would improve this quickly!
"What I mean is, perhaps his gradeless talent enables him to increase his realm quickly?"
Liu Changqing continued, "After all, no one knows what Lu Huai's talent really is. We'll only be able to find out when he chooses to reveal it himself."
As for that space-type innate martial skill, Liu Changqing chose not to mention it.
If word got out that he had such a skill and his cultivation rose quickly, would there be not countless people who would fight for him?
