Chapter 148: Meeting Hua Shao Again

Besides, he is a spiritual-system Talent Endowed, able to control his body to borrow force in midair.

Don't worry, he's definitely fine.

The helicopter turned its direction and continued flying forward.

East River Province, inside West Ridge Mountain Park.

Amidst the lush, verdant mountain forest path, two figures walked side by side, being lovey-dovey.

"Brother Hua, it's almost dark, why did you bring her here? What if we can't get back later?"

The girl in the couple put her arm around the boy's shoulder, her cheeks flushed.

The boy had a head of fiery red short hair, wearing a mischievous smile as he pinched the girl, saying, "If we can't go back, then we won't—how about we spend the night here? I've got a tent in my car, perfect for tonight."

"Ugh, that tent you mentioned is definitely not proper!"

The girl blushed, lightly punching the boy's shoulder with her dainty fist, saying she hated it while leaning in even closer.

"Hehe, whether it's proper or not, you'll find out when you see..."

The boy licked his lips, *** surging in his eyes, he stopped his steps and pulled the girl into his arms.

The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, on the verge of reaching the depths of passion, when suddenly the girl's pupils constricted and she looked up into the sky.

"Brother Hua, quick look, what's that up in the sky?!"

"Up in the sky? Probably a bird or a plane, no need to worry."

The boy grew a bit impatient, closed his eyes and leaned his face in.

"No, something really fell from the sky, it looks like... a person!"

The girl gasped, shook off the boy's hand, and ran forward.

"What is it, making such a fuss?"

The boy frowned and looked up.

Only see, not far above their heads, a figure streaked down like a meteor toward their position.

"Holy shit!"

The boy was startled, quickly rolling forward.

Boom——

The figure landed, kicking up clouds of dust, the concrete beneath cracking inch by inch, forming a deep pit whose edges were covered in dense, web-like fissures.

"Damn, looking to die? Who jumps with a parachute like that?!"

The boy's chest heaved with anger as he stepped forward, wanting to drag out the guy who ruined his fun.

"Yo, isn't this Hua Shao? Long time no see."

A voice came from the dust and mist.

Ye Shaohua's pupils narrowed slightly; the voice was incredibly familiar, familiar to the point he would never forget it in his lifetime.

"Lu...... Lu Jing!"

Ye Shaohua swallowed, stammering as he spoke.

As the smoke and dust settled, revealing the figure standing firm inside, who else could it be besides Lu Jing?

Lu Jing strode out, slowly approaching Ye Shaohua, "It's me, sorry, Hua Shao, for interrupting your date."

Ye Shaohua took a deep breath, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

After the Genius Training Camp ended, Ye Shaohua kept tabs on Lu Jing's news.

Through various channels, learning of Lu Jing's performance in the Genius Training Camp, he realized Lu Jing's strength had reached a terrifying realm.

He also understood why Hao Pengjie dared not move against Lu Jing—the gap in strength was simply too huge!

After that, Ye Hongyun even had a special talk with him, telling him not to investigate Lu Jing anymore and to forget about revenge.

At that time, Ye Shaohua felt chilled to the bone; after recognizing Lu Jing's talent, even without Ye Hongyun's talk, he had long since lost any thought of revenge.

He was just that sort of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong; provoking Lu Jing would cost too much, and Ye Shaohua still wanted to live as a carefree playboy for a few more years.

"How come, after not seeing you for so long, Hua Shao has become so introverted?"

Lu Jing chatted and laughed as he walked past Ye Shaohua, "Since you don't have much to say, Hua Shao, I'll be on my way."

Ye Shaohua shivered, then belatedly lowered his waist low, "Okay, Brother Lu, take care!"

Watching Ye Shaohua's meek figure, Lu Jing's mischievousness rose again, "By the way, your ring is useful—go thank Ye Hongyun for me."

After leaving those words, he sped off into the distance.

Ye Shaohua raised his head, watching the fleeting figure, his heart eased at the same time he couldn't help but marvel at how Lu Jing's strength had grown even stronger.

"Brother Hua...... who is he? How come I've never heard you have a Brother Lu?"

The girl walked over, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest as she spoke.

"Before there was none, now there is; from now on he's my real brother!"

Ye Shaohua nodded heavily, his anxiety vanishing without a trace, replaced by a surge of excitement in his heart.

Judging by Lu Jing's attitude, he likely bears no grudge for my past actions......

"Brother Hua, you're amazing, the people you know are also amazing—Brother Lu fell from that height and was unharmed, and just now his departure speed, even a Master might not match that, right?"

The girl's words reminded Ye Shaohua; Lu Jing's displayed strength seemed something only a Master could achieve.

Could he have already entered the Master Realm?

Impossible!

How could that be possible?

Ye Shaohua shook his head and strode forward.

"Brother Hua, where are you going?"

Go back to cultivate, I won't see you off; you go back yourself.

This Ye Shaohua really knows how to enjoy.

Lu Jing activated the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique and sped along the mountain path like the wind.

Each step he took covered several dozen meters, making it seem as if his feet didn't touch the ground.

This isn't my limit speed; if I apply explosive force to my legs, I'll go even faster!

Boom—

Lu Jing's speed suddenly surged, shooting out like a cannonball.

As his speed reached its limit, Lu Jing could feel a raging torrent of Blood Qi surging within his body.

Whenever his stamina was depleted, a surge of energy would flow from his limbs and bones, giving his muscles fresh power.

This is the benefit brought by tempering his body with Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow; this energy is stored in every cell, constantly replenishing him.

By the time Lu Jing ran all the way into the urban area, the sky had gradually grown dark.

At this hour, the Talent Endowed Association should already be closed; let's find a place to rest and go again tomorrow.....

Lu Jing casually found a nearby inn, planning to rest for the night and go get his talent certified early tomorrow morning.

Although he said he was resting, Lu Jing did not stop cultivating.

He repeatedly practiced the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique, slowly absorbing the residual Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow within his body.

As Lu Jing cultivated, the temperature in the room rose higher and higher, waves of mist rising from his body.

In the end, the entire room was enveloped in white mist, and the temperature rose by several degrees.

Hah—

After Lu Jing had expended over half of his stamina, he sat cross-legged on the inn's bed, closed his eyes, and observed the diamond figure in his mind.

With the aid of the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow, the diamond figure's heart was beating thump-thump.
