Chapter 9: Spiritual Power Increased

"Let go! Let me go!"

"You ambushed me!"

"What happened just now doesn't count!"

Ace was pinned to the ground, struggling endlessly, gritting his teeth, and glaring at Lu En, who was pressing down on his body. He thrashed with hands and feet, constantly pounding the floor tiles beneath him.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Lu En said to Ace with interest, "The gap between you and me is not small. Right now, you don't even have the qualification to be my opponent. Even though we are about the same age."

Hearing this,

Ace gritted his teeth, and his struggling movements gradually grew weak.

He fell silent.

Indeed!

Just as Lu En had just said, he truly and deeply felt it.

The terrifying pressure coming from Lu En!

This was the first time in his life he had felt such intense pressure from someone his own age.

He knew.

Even if he went all out, he would absolutely never be a match for Lu En before him.

"Alright."

"You two must get along well."

"Ace, remember to become an excellent Marine in the future."

Seeing Ace's aggrieved and helpless expression, Garp's smile grew even brighter.

"Old man, who wants to be a Marine?"

"I'm going to become a pirate!"

Ace was unconvinced.

"Brat!"

Garp's forehead veins bulged as he clenched both fists tightly.

However,

his iron fist still did not smash down on Ace. Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he bid Dadan farewell: "I'm leaving these two brats in your care."

After speaking,

Garp turned and left.

"Lu En, don't forget that in a month, your father will return to Fusha Village with your younger brother."

Leaving these words, Garp walked away without looking back.

"Damn Garp!"

"If only I could beat you..."

Dadan watched Garp's retreating back, her face filled with anger and helplessness.

Shifting her gaze,

she looked at Lu En and Ace beside her: "Alright, brat Lu En, come with me. I'll arrange a room for you."

Then,

Lu En released his right hand pinning Ace and slowly stood up.

"Hmph!"

Ace leaped up, standing immediately. His eyes, filled with vigilance and anger, stared tightly at Lu En, his gaze brimming with fighting spirit and sharpness.

To this,

Lu En smiled, unbothered.

Turning around,

he followed Dadan into the huge house.

"Damn it!"

"You want me to call you big brother?"

"Dream on!"

"One day, I will definitely defeat you and make you call me big brother."

Ace gritted his teeth, thinking furiously in his heart.

With an angry heart, he turned and rushed out the gate, stepping into the dense forest of the Colpo Mountains to find some fierce beasts as targets for combat training.

On the other side,

after following Dadan to a relatively small room, Lu En knew this must be the place where he would live from now on.

"Brat, this is your room."
