Chapter 1017

Had his mission been exposed?

But he must ensure his mission doesn't go wrong midway.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in your mission."

"Nor do I intend to dig into every detail."

"Similarly, I won't interfere with or affect your mission in any way."

"What are your world government's intentions..."

"I don't want to interfere."

"I have no interest in interfering."

Lu En smiled faintly.

"True."

Hearing Lu En's words, Lucci exhaled in relief.

He thought again.

He couldn't help but recall.

Not long ago, the name "Fist Demon Lu En" echoed throughout the seas.

Thinking of this,

Lucci sighed helplessly.

"You and I are now utterly worlds apart!"

"You've already reached the forefront of this era."

"While I'm still lagging at its tail end."

"Your name, Fist Demon, has resounded across Dajiangnanbei."

"With the terrifying power you now possess, you could crush me with a single finger."

Lucci felt bewildered.

It had only been a little over a year.

Yet,

the very goal he had once strived so hard to catch up to,

had already...

utterly surpassed him.

Become a legendary supreme powerhouse of the seas!

Even those so-called billion-Berry pirates were nothing but insignificant ants before this man.

The more he thought, the more Lucci felt a deep sense of awe.

The gap was simply too vast.

Absolutely incomparable!

This crushed any lingering thought in Lucci's heart of challenging Lu En.

The fire of ambition he had just suppressed,

was instantly doused by a bucket of cold water.

Challenge Lu En?

It's asking for punishment!

I no longer have the qualification to stand up to this man.

Lucci's heart was bitter.

Once upon a time,

his gap with the other was still noticeable.

Now,

their difference was as vast as a chasm!

Walking with Yu Qishui through the streets of Seven Water City,

Lu En regarded the bustling streets of Seven Water City with interest.

The streets were extremely prosperous,

truly offering everything imaginable.

Countless local specialties from all corners, along with Seven Water City's own unique products.

In short,

Seven Water City was the central hub of a thousand-li sea region.

Over a hundred islands regularly sent personnel here for trade.

With increasing trade, Seven Water City naturally grew ever more prosperous.

Walking through the bustling streets of Seven Water City, Lu En saw many visitors with wildly different customs.

Visitors of different skin tones.

Some islands, due to extreme heat, had inhabitants with bronze skin, starkly different from the pale complexions of pampered travelers.

Here, Lu En saw a multitude of diverse cultural faces.

On both sides of the streets,

rows of fruit stalls.

A gentle breeze blew,

carrying the fresh, fragrant scent from the fruit stalls, refreshing the spirit.

"How strong are you right now?"

Standing beside Lu En, Lu Qi took a deep breath, face full of solemnity, and asked.

He only wanted to know the answer.

Only wanted to know…

The goal he had been straining to chase for over a year.

To what extent had the other person grown stronger in this past year and more, "203"?

As he progressed,

the other person certainly would not stand still.

Lu Qi wanted to know.

How vast was the gap between him and Lu En!

"How strong am I?"

Lu En's gaze flickered, his expression subtly enigmatic.

His eyes went distant, and he thought for a moment.

How strong was he really?

This question, he had never properly considered himself.

Anyway,

he knew only this:

He was strong!

Very strong!

Across this entire sea, few could stand as his rivals.

As for just how strong he had become?

After a moment's thought,

Lu En regarded Lu Qi with deep, penetrating eyes, full of meaning.

With his own immense strength, he could instantly judge Lu Qi's current level.

Lu Qi's strength was not weak.

This, beyond doubt.

After more than a year of arduous cultivation, Lu Qi had clearly grown far stronger than before.
