Chapter 55

"Don't you dare scare these two little brats…"

"Let us have a little more fun playing with these two little brats."

"We've got plenty of time now anyway, no need to rush."

One by one, the mountain bandits spoke up to dissuade them.

Of course.

They weren't feeling any pity for Lu En.

It was purely…

They wanted to toy with Lu En and Ace.

Nothing more.

"Lu En…"

Ace clenched his teeth tightly, standing behind Lu En.

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

At this moment, Lu En suddenly spoke.

His voice lingered at Ace's ear.

In an instant, it swept away all the panic and unease that had been churning inside Ace.

"What?"

Ace's throat went dry, his eyes glazed for a moment, and he blurted the question instinctively.

"Next…"

"You better watch closely!"

"Ace, I'll show you what a true powerhouse really is!"

"Let me show you."

"What kind of bearing the powerhouses of this sea truly possess!"

"I know that sooner or later, you'll set out to sea. Since that's the case, today, before I leave Windmill Village, let you feel it in advance."

"What it means to be a powerhouse!"

Having said that,

Lu En raised his right hand,

and without the slightest hesitation, tore open his shirt with one hand on the spot.

Riiip—

A piercing sound rang out.

Extremely shrill.

Then,

one could see,

Lu En's muscular upper body revealed itself.

Brawny and powerful,

brimming with an explosive, powerful beauty.

Delivering a full visual impact.

Like a fierce beast, a leopard, his body was covered in bulging muscles; every line of muscle radiated a surging, oppressive aura from Lu En's entire frame.

His presence was overwhelming,

his might pressed out in all directions.

Under the sunlight,

a golden halo shone across Lu En's entire body, making the muscles of his upper half even more striking and dazzling, drawing Ace's gaze from behind.

Ace's eyes went wide with astonishment, staring dumbly at Lu En's back.

He saw…

Lu En's legendary "ghost back"!

Muscles bulging all over,

his entire body covered in muscle.

Delivering an unprecedented shock to the soul!

At this moment,

seeing the lines of muscle on Lu En's upper body, that physique as unbreakable as diamond, Ace's spirit was shaken.

His eyes stared fixedly at the man before him, unable to tear his gaze away even for an instant.

From Lu En, he felt…

A complete sense of security!

So dependable,

so utterly reassuring.

"What it means to be a powerhouse…"

Ace muttered to himself, the words tumbling from his lips.

He kept turning over and over in his mind the words Lu En had just spoken.

Those words had already been deeply imprinted in Ace's mind.

And taken root in his heart, once and for all!

If nothing unexpected happens…

For the rest of his life, Ace would surely never be able to forget the words Lu En had left behind today.
