Chapter 1028

No wonder the Luqi Society works so hard—apparently just to chase the shadow of a monster?

Who on earth is this person?!

Who could possibly be regarded as a monster even by a monster like Lu Qi?!

A monster's monster…

Captain Kaku and the other two stood frozen, mouths agape.

Lu Qi's words opened a brand-new world for them!

Left them utterly dumbfounded.

Gulp!

Captain Kaku swallowed hard, forcing down his inner shock.

He conceived a startling hypothesis.

Then,

his lips trembled slightly as he ventured a timid question.

"Lu Qi, the person you mentioned."

"He can't possibly be…"

As he spoke these words,

Captain Kaku's throat grew dry, and he could say no more.

"Correct."

Lu Qi gazed with a complex expression at the direction where Lu En had just left, and nodded, "That person is the five-year-old boy I just brought."

"The five-year-old boy named Lu En!"

"He is the monster I can never reach, can only humbly yearn to chase after his shadow, and will never surpass!"

"A complete and utter prodigy! An unparalleled, once-in-a-millennium demon!"

In an instant,

the entire scene fell into deathly silence.

Not a sound!

Captain Kaku was stunned.

Bruno was dumbstruck.

Ka Li Fa widened her eyes.

"Could it be him?!"

All three cried out in unison.

They had never dared dream it.

A terrifying monster who made Lu Qi feel he could never reach him…

was merely a five-year-old boy!

This truth shattered their minds.

"Lu Qi, our CP9's first genius in eight hundred years, regards the five-year-old Mr. Lu En as a being he can never surpass in this lifetime?"

"My heavens!"

"This is simply astonishing!"

"Unbelievable!"

Captain Kaku, Bruno, and Ka Li Fa were utterly bewildered.

Who is Lu Qi?

CP9's first genius in eight hundred years!

Even the head of CP0 has praised Lu Qi's talent endlessly.

The title "CP9's first genius in eight hundred years" originated from the head of CP0.

Clearly,

the CP organization holds Lu Qi in the highest regard and has great expectations for him.

Yet now,

what have they heard?

Lu Qi, CP9's first genius in eight hundred years, has lost all confidence in ever surpassing someone.

Even more,

he can only humbly wish…

One day,

to chase after that person's shadow and footsteps.

Just to glimpse that person's back from afar.

Would be enough to satisfy him.

This is the emotion Lu Qi revealed.

That is precisely why Captain Kaku, Bruno, and Ka Li Fa were so shaken.

They could not believe it.

Is this really the Lu Qi they know?

The confident, radiant Lu Qi?

The invincible Lu Qi?

Why…

How could the Lu Qi before me be so utterly different?!

Could Lu Qi have been replaced by someone else?

How could the Lu Qi, whom they regarded as their number-one genius, hold such high regard for a five-year-old boy?

They could not accept this astonishing result.

In the past,

in their eyes, Lu Qi was the supreme genius of the sea.

Thus, they held Lu Qi in profound "203" reverence and admiration.

They never dreamed it.

The Lu Qi they revered and admired had now felt such humble, pitiable shame before a five-year-old boy.

"You are our CP9's first genius in eight hundred years!"

Captain Kaku could not help speaking up.

As their idol…

How could he be so defeated?!

How could he be so broken and humiliated?

"First genius in eight hundred years?"

"That's nothing but a joke."

"Before that boy…"

"My so-called CP9 first genius in eight hundred years is a laughable farce. With all my talent and potential, I am not even fit to carry his shoes."

"He is the sea's most terrifying genius! The most fearsome prodigy!"

Lu Qi took a deep breath, his voice slightly trembling.

It was not that he lacked confidence.

Rather…

Lu En had left him a profound psychological shadow!

A deep one!

He had thought,

after a year of arduous cultivation, he had finally begun to glimpse Lu En's back.

Yet—
