Chapter 292: Is It Really Here? I Really Don

"Master Zefa, are these enough to prove my strength?"

Lu En, his arm gripped, wisely ceased his attack.

That brief offensive…

He had unleashed his full power, showing no mercy whatsoever.

From the very start,

he went all out!

Unfortunately,

in just a single exchange, Zefa still captured him unscathed.

This forced Lu En to sigh.

The Marine Fleet Admiral truly is as strong as a monster.

As the pinnacle of power on this sea, he is clearly not something he can easily challenge yet.

But…

Lu En has confidence.

Within three years, I will surpass Zefa!

By then,

he will be only about seven or eight years old.

At the youngest possible age, possessing the strongest Admiral-level power on the sea!

This, is Lu En's initial goal.

"Marine Admirals are indeed powerful."

"And…"

"Zefa hasn't even used Two-Color Haki yet. Otherwise, my situation would've been even more dire."

"937" — Lu En had previously thought his current strength was sufficient for self-preservation on this sea.

But now,

after facing Zefa, he crushed all traces of inner satisfaction.

Not enough!

His strength is still far too weak!

"If this weren't a sparring match, but a life-or-death battle,"

"then I would already be a cold corpse."

Lu En craves greater strength.

After a long pause,

Zefa released Lu En's arm, gazing at the four-year-old with awe: "You are, among all the geniuses I've ever seen in my life,"

"the most terrifying! Without exception!"

"Your talent is the strongest I've ever witnessed in my lifetime!"

"Even that brat Kuzan back then was far inferior to you."

"Just in terms of Marine Six Powers alone, your mastery of them just now has reached the level of a Marine Fleet Vice-Admiral."

"It's hard to believe you're only four years old."

"Now, I finally understand why Kapu Society calls you a once-in-a-century prodigy!"

Only after seeing Lu En and witnessing his power…

did Zefa finally believe it.

The unbelievable claims Kapu made yesterday.

This four-year-old brat before me…

is truly a terrifying monster of the sea!

An unprecedented, legendary demon!

Among his peers, no one can be compared to him.

Even,

over the past several hundred years of the sea's history, not a single genius can be matched against this monster named Lu En.

In Zefa's lifetime of experience,

such a demon…

exists only once!

"You are the most talented genius…"

"I have ever seen!"

Zefa made no effort to conceal his extremely high regard.

In his lifetime,

he had seen countless geniuses.

But never once had he seen a genius as uniquely extraordinary as Lu En before him.

Among all geniuses he had ever encountered, Lu En's talent was unquestionably number one — utterly unshakable.

"I heard,"

"that this old man Kapu said you awakened Conqueror's Haki at just four years old — and fully mastered it? Is that true?"

Zefa asked Lu En.

"Does this have anything to do with qualifying for the training camp?"

Lu En asked in return.

Is the process to enter a training camp this complicated?

And yet…

Are the entry requirements this high?

Didn't my display of the Six Powers just now suffice to enter the training camp under Master Zefa's command?

If this isn't enough qualification,

Lu En truly couldn't imagine.

What kind of genius could possibly catch Master Zefa's eye?

"Of course not."

Master Zefa shook his head and explained patiently, "Based solely on your demonstrated proficiency in the Six Powers, I grant you special permission to enter this training camp."

"With strength such as what you just displayed, there are few in the entire training camp who could stand as your opponent."

"Therefore, my special permission for you to enter the camp is not a violation of the rules, nor is it favoritism."

"In short, strength is the foundation of everything. If your strength is strong enough, even if you entered the camp through favoritism, no one would say a word, and no one would dare object."

With those words spoken,

Lu En understood.

Next,

he glanced around at the quiet surroundings—the neatly arranged naval barracks, and occasionally spotted several naval personnel moving about.

Then,

he asked with some confusion, "Are you certain we should demonstrate it here?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

Master Zefa was startled.

Could it be…

this kid doesn't possess Bawangse?

Did Captain Kapu lie?

"There's no problem."

"It's just…"

"I feel this place isn't suitable."

"There are too many people around—I'm afraid my Bawangse might affect them."

Lu En gazed at the naval barracks hundreds of meters away and voiced his concern directly.

"You needn't worry about that."

"Here, we are at least three hundred meters away from the naval barracks."

"At such a distance, your Bawangse is virtually impossible to affect them."

Master Zefa laughed loudly, his face brimming with confidence.
