Chapter 272: Not the Same Kind of People

"Yes, yes, Brother Su," Yu Ying echoed, stuttering slightly, "everyone is from the same Association; what kind of misunderstanding could there be that can't be resolved?"

"That's right," the effeminate man also hurriedly chimed in, "you and Du Hu signed a Life-and-Death Agreement beforehand, which means that even if you beat him to death, no one will come looking for revenge. So, you can rest assured that we will absolutely never cause you trouble over this matter in the future."

With things said to this point, anyone present with even a little bit of brains understood that today's affair would likely have to end just like this.

"Damn that Du Hu!" many cursed inwardly.

This guy was too useless; if they had known he was such a waste, they shouldn't have bet so many points on him—it was a huge loss!

"Is that so?" Lu Yu chuckled, "Sorry, there is nothing for me to discuss with you."

"!!!" Everyone was shocked to hear this, and the three C-Class Awakened, including Zhao Hong, all wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Brother Su, the responsibility for this matter lies with me, and it's normal for you to be angry. How about this: you go back and think it over carefully. No matter when you come to find me, I will warmly welcome you, how about that?"

"It seems you still don't understand what I mean," Lu Yu shook his head lightly, "I am simply not the same kind of person as you all; I wasn't in the past, I am not now, and I certainly won't be in the future."

Following these words, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long while.

Even Chen Yan could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

He had already given the other party so much face and proactively offered a way out, yet this Su Luo was actually so unappreciative?

"Surprised?" Lu Yu sneered, "The reason Du Hu slandered me—others might not know, but don't you know it yourselves?"

"What? Slandered?"

"Du Hu slandered him?"

"What on earth is going on?"

The surrounding Awakened heard this and were completely bewildered, unable to make heads or tails of it.

Lu Yu scanned these people and continued, "The most pitiful ones are you people. These C-Class Awakened and the Association are in cahoots, rigging so many matches, and you are completely oblivious. You've all been sold out by them, and you're still here foolishly counting money for others."

Chen Yan and the others were terrified upon hearing this. The many Awakened who heard Lu Yu's remarks also wore various expressions on their faces.

"Brother Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. This talk of being in cahoots and rigging matches is all nonsense!" Chen Yan finally couldn't help but get angry.

He had originally intended to win Lu Yu over to strengthen the Association's power, but he hadn't expected the other party to expose the Association's ugly secrets in front of so many people. Now, the two sides had completely torn off the mask, and there was no room for any turning back.

"That's right, Su Luo, it was clearly you who wanted to do this, and when Du Hu didn't agree, you killed him. Now, you have the audacity to splash this dirty water on us?" Yu Ying and the others also accused him angrily.

As the saying goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents!

If today's incident caused their future arena matches to be affected and their profits to suffer, they would truly wish to hack Lu Yu into ten thousand pieces.

"Just consider it me talking nonsense then," Lu Yu simply laughed.

He was doing this purely to disgust Chen Yan and his group. As for the surrounding group of Awakened, he couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going first," Lu Yu said, then slowly walked toward the exit of the Arena.

With a *swish*, the crowd ahead scattered in all directions, frightened like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

Only Chen Yan and the other two remained where they were, their gazes locked firmly on Lu Yu.

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted slightly as he walked straight toward the elevator.

He wasn't worried at all that Chen Yan's group would launch a sneak attack.

On one hand, he already had the Defense Pendant on him, which could protect him at a critical moment.

On the other hand, and most importantly, as long as these few dared to act rashly, he would absolutely dare to kill them all right here!

"Beep..." The elevator doors slowly closed, cutting off the line of sight between the two sides.

"President," the effeminate man said, clenching his fists tightly with a look of unwillingness, "are we just going to let him leave so easily?"

Chen Yan's eyes were filled with deep resentment.

This Su Luo had actually trampled his face into the dirt in public and exposed the Association's secrets; he was itching with hatred and wished he could tear Su Luo into pieces immediately.

However, the Soul Extinguishing Finger technique the other party had displayed was simply too terrifying.

One had to know that even he, the President, would find it difficult to kill Du Hu in a single strike.

Now, no one knew if this guy was just bluffing; if he wasn't, then who could withstand that move?

Therefore, other than watching him leave, there seemed to be no other way.

Perhaps, waiting for the real President to return and telling him about this matter would be a good choice.

But even with the real President's strength, killing this Su Luo would likely not be an easy task.

After leaving the Association, Lu Yu headed straight toward the city gates.

To his surprise, no one was following him.

"Was I really that intimidating?" he pondered to himself.

However, even if someone were following him, it would be unrealistic for them to catch up to his pace.

About half an hour later, he arrived before Yongan City. Looking at this majestic city built against the mountains, a sense of closeness inexplicably arose in his heart, which made him feel somewhat dumbfounded himself.

After all, the Awakened in Yongan City were his greatest enemies at the moment.

But after the battle at the Association, he already had a rough understanding of his current combat power.

In a one-on-one situation, even when facing the City Lord of Yongan City, he had enough confidence to kill him.

Of course, because it wouldn't be a fight in the Arena, the actual execution would certainly be much more troublesome.

Just like the battle where he killed Wang Deye, he had encountered quite a few tricky problems.

"It would be great if I could obtain a Martial Arts Manual that enhances sensory abilities," he mused as he walked.

His Mental Power was currently extremely strong, and ordinary mental attacks could do nothing to him.

Moreover, because he had learned the Soul Extinguishing Finger, he could also actively launch mental attacks to instantly kill his opponents.

These abilities could indeed play a huge role in combat.

Besides that, powerful Mental Power could also provide auxiliary support in other areas.

For example, he could refine pills tirelessly, or use the True Qi in his body to impact his meridians without worrying about a lack of focus leading to a mishap with his True Qi.

What if such powerful Mental Power could also be used to perceive the surrounding environment?

Just like described in xianxia novels, those cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage can scan with their divine sense, and every movement within a radius of a hundred miles cannot escape their perception.

Although he does not dare to hope he can perceive a hundred miles like a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be fantastic if he could perceive ten miles, or better yet, twenty miles.

In this way, even if he encounters an opponent who is very good at escaping in the future, he will be able to detect the opponent's position immediately, and thus, the battle will be much easier.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and entered the relevant interface of the Awakened Association.

His gaze quickly locked onto the point balance.

Taking a closer look, the amount displayed was 58,000 points! From the initial one hundred points to over fifty thousand points now, it has actually increased more than 580 times!

A satisfied smile could not help but appear on Lu Yu's face.

He estimated that even for those C-Class Awakened, the points they possess are probably only around one hundred thousand.

More importantly, with the increase in points, a large number of items in the mall have been unlocked, including various foods, weapons, Cultivation Methods and Secret Manuals, special supplies, and so on.

Perhaps, among the unlocked Cultivation Methods, there is the perception-type Secret Manual he has been dreaming of.

"Let's go back to the Base first and choose slowly in the lounge. Come to think of it, the medicinal herbs for refining Blood Qi Pills have already been delivered; once this batch of Blood Qi Pills is finished, it will be time to start refining True Qi Pills."

Lu Yu was full of anticipation as he strode toward the city gate.
