Chapter 28

Xu San and Xu Si were so cautious after learning Luo Fu’s ability because

Luo Fu’s ability was terrifyingly impactful on ordinary people.

If he were merely a naturally awakened Yiren, the company would have imprisoned him in the Black Fortress the moment they discovered him.

In terms of threat level, Zhang Luofu is even more terrifying than Chen Duo, the Holy Child of the Gu Shen.

Chen Duo, the Holy Child of the Gu Shen, can only kill people—but the Seven Sins can destabilize an entire nation, far more dangerous than the Four Madmen.

Now, Zhang Luo Fu has defected early to Lu Jin, joined the Lu family of the Four Great Clans, become a disciple of the San Yi Sect, inherited its Dao lineage, and forged ties with Longhu Mountain as a registered disciple of Zhang Zhiwei, younger brother of the Grand Celestial Master.

His identity and background have instantly transformed from a naturally awakened Yiren into one deeply rooted in power.

Even if the company wanted to act against Luo Fu, it would have to consider the stance of the Lu family and Longhu Mountain—between them, they command two of the Ten Elders, one of whom is Zhang Zhiwei, a supreme pinnacle.

Even Xu San and Xu Si now found themselves troubled by Zhang Luo Fu.

While Xu San and Xu Si were uploading Luo Fu’s intelligence to the company and immediately elevating the level of attention toward Zhang Luo Fu,

Zang Long chuckled dismissively: “Itachi think this is insane? Don’t forget—Zhang Luofu is now a disciple of the San Yi Sect. Do Itachi know how difficult it is to cultivate the Reverse Life Three Stages? I’ll tell Itachi: in the entire Yiren world, only three people can do it—Lu the Elder, Lu Lin, the elder brother of the Ice Goddess Linglong, and Zhang Luofu himself!! His talent for the Reverse Life Three Stages is the true insanity.”

Gathering himself, Zhang Chulan blurted out: “Is Reverse Life Three Stages really that powerful?”

“More than powerful!!” Zang Long paused, as if recalling something, then said: “According to my intel, Itachi know the Golden Light Spell and Thunder Art from Longhu Mountain, right?”

Zhang Chulan scowled and nodded, deeply annoyed that his intelligence had fallen into the hands of a dealer like Zang Long.

Zang Long acted as if he hadn’t noticed Zhang Chulan’s attitude and continued: “Let me put it this way: according to Lu the Elder, both the Golden Light Spell and Reverse Life Three Stages are paragons of body-spirit cultivation. But the Golden Light Spell is crude and direct, while Reverse Life Three Stages is exquisitely precise. Merely mastering the first stage grants power equal to the Golden Light Spell—immense strength, robust physique, invulnerability. The third stage, theoretically, enables ascension to immortality.”

“Even if Reverse Life Three Stages is powerful, Hu Zi hasn’t even started cultivating it yet,” Zhang Chulan said, feigning indifference.

Zang Long fell for it immediately. In his brief exchange with the veteran concealment expert Zhang Chulan, his personality had already been fully read.

“What do Itachi know?” Zang Long snapped. “Didn’t I just say? Luo Fu’s true terror lies in his talent for Reverse Life Three Stages—he’s already achieved perfect entry into the first stage.”

“How is that possible? He’s only been a Yiren for two months!” Zhang Chulan exclaimed.

Zang Long nodded gravely: “That’s why I call him insane. Not only did he awaken the innate ability to control the Seven Sins, but within less than a month of joining Lu the Elder’s sect, he achieved perfect entry into the first stage of the Reverse Life Three Stages!!”

“I never thought he was truly a genius!!” Zhang Chulan sighed dramatically.

Unaware that Zhang Chulan was trying to draw closer, Zang Long agreed: “Yes, he’s not even a genius—he’s a monster, an insane prodigy!!”

Zang Long looked at Zhang Chulan with sympathy, as if sharing his pain: “Living in the same era as him is our tragedy!!”

“Besides Reverse Life Three Stages and his innate ability, what else can he do?” Zhang Chulan remembered the massive earth spikes at the sports field—and especially the black wings that unfolded behind Zhang Luo Fu as he left.

“Other abilities?” Zang Long paused, then said: “Just some spells he devised himself—capable of manipulating water, fire, earth to some degree.”

“What kind of spells exactly?” Zhang Chulan was desperate to know every detail of Zhang Luo Fu’s abilities. After all, Feng Baobao herself had said Zhang Luo Fu’s qi was terrifying. In the upcoming Luotian Great Ceremony, he would surely be his fiercest rival.

As a child, he couldn’t even use the Golden Light Spell—he was no match. Now that he is a Yiren, Zhang Chulan refuses to be overshadowed by Zhang Luofu again.

Zang Long suddenly seemed to realize something. He turned serious and stared at Zhang Chulan: “The intelligence I’ve given Itachi has already exceeded its value.”

“I—” Zhang Chulan’s eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to curse the merchant.

He’d spent so much money—even borrowed from Xu San and Xu Si—to pay for this intelligence, and now it was just idle chatter? Sure, the info was valuable, but the fat man’s expression clearly meant he wanted to jack up the price!!

Glaring at Zang Long, Zhang Chulan said: “Itachi’re not trying to make me pay more, are Itachi?”

“Exactly!” Zang Long adjusted his glasses. “The next batch of intel? I bled and cried for it. It’s different from what I just told Itachi—extra payment required!!”

Zang Long wasn’t lying. The previous intel could have been found with effort—but the details of Zhang Luo Fu’s abilities and spells? That was truly blood and tears.

In the Lu family compound, Zang Long had been beaten countless times—even when he teamed up with members of the Lu Family Squad, he still couldn’t beat Luo Fu.

It wasn’t that Luo Fu’s power had skyrocketed overnight after mastering Reverse Life Three Stages.

It was simply that Zhang Luo Fu’s abilities were too cheap, too comprehensive.

Reverse Life Three Stages granted him overwhelming, all-around power surpassing even the Golden Light Spell. Once the Seven Sins Eyes opened, the power of the Seven Sins could easily plunge an opponent into the hell of original sin. Add to that his self-devised water, fire, and earth spells.

The Lu Family Squad had been wiped out by him more than once or twice.

As someone repeatedly crushed, Zang Long’s understanding of Luo Fu’s abilities was forged in blood and tears.

Unaware of Zang Long’s ordeal, Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth and made up his mind—he’d already sunk into debt. To uncover every detail of Zhang Luo Fu, he didn’t mind paying more.

Yet, as he glanced at Xu San and Xu Si, a plan flashed in his mind: a scheme to get something for nothing.
