Chapter 149 - A Naturally Gifted Cultivator (1/2)

“You really are a genius, Mr. Lu!” The Dragon said with an impressed tone.

The Dragon sounded very sincere when he said that. The seven-day-long exchange ended with him being completely taken by Lu Xuan.

In his eyes, the breadth of Lu Xuan’s knowledge was so profound that even someone as powerful as himself was awestruck.

While the seven-day-long conversation was really supposed to be an exchange between the two, it was actually a seven day-long one-sided lecture from Lu Xuan, instead.

Many of the problems that the Dragon faced when he was training had gotten him stuck in quite a rut, but a great number of those problems were solved with Lu Xuan’s guidance over those seven days.

Lu Xuan’s level of cultivation was so high that it was completely stunning to the Dragon. He was vaguely able to sense that Lu Xuan had far surpassed his own position.

It was as if an ancient and powerful monster was hiding behind that young face, concealed in the form of Lu Xuan.

The deeper the exchange went, the greater the awe he felt toward Lu Xuan became.

Lu Xuan smiled slightly. He respected the Dragon very highly, which was why he was willing to guide the older man in his training. Furthermore, given how Lu Xuan had been officially inducted into the Special Task Force’s ranks, the two parties were already considered allies.

The more powerful the Dragon got, the more advantage Lu Xuan would gain.

“Thank you for all your guidance over the past seven days, Mr. Lu. You have my sincerest gratitude,” the Dragon cupped his hands and said. “However, I’d like to ask a favor of you, and I do hope you will help me out.”

“Please speak, Chief Dragon,” Lu Xuan said.

The Dragon rose and continued with a severe expression, “I’ve gained a lot throughout this seven-day-long exchange with you, Mr. Lu. The favor I’m asking is the opportunity to spar with you, and I do hope you won’t mind, Mr. Lu.”

“Sparring, eh? Hardly worth mentioning. No problem, of course,” Lu Xuan replied casually.

Ten minutes later, Lu Xuan and the Dragon stood facing each other in a training room somewhere deep inside the headquarters.

There were many fighters from the Special Task Force who’d caught wind of the news and were observing on the sidelines.

“Who’s the guy that the Big Boss is about to fight?” someone asked, feeling astonished.

It was worth noting that the Dragon was the number one fighter in the whole of the Special Task Force.

He was also one of the few top-notch fighters to be found in the world, to the extent that he was sometimes considered the number one fighter in the whole world. It was the Dragon who had put things in order in the world of cultivators in the early years and prevented the scene in Huaxia from degenerating into the chaotic mess seen in Southeast Asia.

The Dragon gradually shifted away from fighting as the years passed. It was his subordinates who took his place in quelling any unrest now.

Many who joined later only knew that the Dragon was very powerful, but by this point, there were few who actually knew just how powerful he was.

So much time had passed since the early days, and there were increasingly few who needed the Dragon’s personal attention, even to the point that there were hardly any such beings left.

The Dragon was about to fight someone in the headquarters of the Special Task Force, and that alone was extremely rare.

“Who’s that guy? How come I’ve never seen him before?”

There were some who looked at Lu Xuan with curious eyes, seemingly intrigued by who he was, as they had never seen him before.

There were few in the world who were capable of standing toe-to-toe to the Big Boss in a fight, and there were even fewer whom the Dragon took so seriously. No one in the agency had even heard of such a being.

Ming Yueyao, the Chief of the Min Province Special Task Force, stood casually with her arms crossed in a corner of the training room.

However, her eyes sparkled as she locked her gaze on those two standing in the center, seemingly afraid that she would miss something if she so much as blinked.

“Yueyao, who’s this guy? Why would the Big Boss take this guy so seriously that he wants to spar?”
