Chapter 326 System Skill Limitation (1/2)
Chapter 326 – System Skill Limitation
Lu Bu could use the Double Accel for only a second as he had not mastered this ability yet. Although the time manipulation ended in an instant, he managed to drive back two souls of Khan.
The other two souls went after Lu Bu's real body. They threw a punch at his face and his chest, planning to kill him in one hit.
”Hmm.”
Lu Bu sidestepped and dodged the attacks from the souls. He threw a punch to counter the souls with his fists, but it went through their bodies without harming them.
Khan's two souls turned around and were about to continue attacking. Lu Bu leaped backward one step, temporarily keeping the distance from the two ghosts.
Lu Bu summoned his spirits back into his body. Concentrating his angelic aura into his fists, he countered the souls with his punch again.
*POEK*
The punch connected right to the face of a spirit.
Khan immediately unsummoned his ghosts as the punch broke his jaw. He resummoned one of his virtue soul to activate his skill.
'Regen.'
His wounds and the broken jaw were healed.
”Not bad. Not bad at all. AHAHAHAHAHA”
Though Khan was surprised that this world's Lu Bu was stronger than his previous self, his hysterical laughter continued to echo in the dark night.
It was as if Khan was happy to see his son had achieved beyond his expectation.
He sent one of his virtue soul to confront Lu Bu again. However, he did not attack him.
Khan transferred his word using the spirit.
”Well done, Lu Bu. Unfortunately, you are working for the wrong lord. You shouldn't be working for Zhang Tong. Come to me, and I shall teach you about the real warrior's path. I can tell you what is going to happen to this country in the future. I can make you the King that you always want to be!”
Seeing that Khan stopped attacking, Lu Bu spat out a mouthful of blood that clogged in his throat when he activated the [Double Accel].
Glancing behind him, all surviving troops still had not evacuated from the county into Li Feihong's world yet. They were still entering, but it would take a few minutes before all of them could leave.
'I have to buy times for them.'
Lu Bu turned around and started acting, ”What are you? What do you know about me? How can I become King?”
This was Lu Bu's bait to initiate long conversation. By throwing questions at Khan, he could buy times for his men.
In Khan's point of view, he thought that Lu Bu was showing interest by asking, ”How can I become King?”
”It's simple. Be my disciple and join my army along with your father. I'm already the King of Xiongnu, so I don't need to bother fighting anyone else for the throne, but I need a King to run this country. Join me, and you'll be that King!”
Lu Bu paused, counting in his mind from one to twenty while his eyes rolled around, pretending to think.
Twenty seconds passed, Lu Bu answered, ”I don't trust you. What are you? Who really are you? How do I know that you won't fool me as Zhang Tong did!?”
Simple bait questions came out of Lu Bu's mouth again. It was the same trick question.
”I am an immortal like Zhang Tong. Well, I'm not like him for one fact because I know you more than he does. I know that you want the best for your wife and your daughter. I know that you spent these years looking for a worthy opponent. I know that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have been cleaning the mess that you made in your early years.”
Lu Bu paused again. He stopped and counted to twenty before he opened his mouth to retort.
”You are talking nonsense. Anyone can send spies to obtain that information! You can't even answer my question directly, then how can I trust you!?”
Khan was bemused. This world's Lu Bu was cautious, which was totally different from his imagination.
'Come to think of it. I jumped ship right away when Dong Zhuo offered me an official title in the court and gold. This guy isn't an idiot like my past self. Very good. Excellent!'
Khan was proud of this alternate self. He wanted to have this Lu Bu as his subordinate at all costs, so he decided to be frank.
”Listen, Lu Fengxian. In my previous life, I was you! My true name is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian! I am from the future! I know about what will happen in this country!”
Lu Bu smirked. He had heard many stories from Li Feihong to the point that his ears numbed every time he heard about the story about his future.
Moreover, he started having bad dreams at night. He experienced what the other Lu Bu in the different world had been through, the father killing and his desperate journey, serving different lords and getting killed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Lu Bu did not need anyone to tell him what to do. He decided to pave a path of his own.
Thus, Lu Bu raised his fist and his middle finger at Khan's spirit.
”Bullshit. You wannabe. You should come up with a better excuse if you want me to join you. Maybe you should offer me a million gold or something to make it worth my time. Do you have it? The million gold?”
Khan was taken aback by Lu Bu's extortion. He frowned and rolled his eyes to the sides, baffled of why this alternate past of himself seemed more cunning and more intelligence than his previous self.
As the thought of Khan went haywire, he lost his patience.
”Oh well, I should have done this earlier. [Eyes of Domination], Join me!”
”Hmm?”
A déjà vu feeling came to Lu Bu as the skill that Xu Da had used on him were being used on him again.
However, there was a limit to all system skills.

”What!?”
Khan stared at the floating system messages in shock.
Meanwhile, Lu Bu took a deep breath. The feeling of having something invading his brain disappeared, but he was annoyed that this cheating otherworlder attempted to use the same old underhanded trick on him again.
