Chapter 266 - Unlike Mortals (1/2)

A crisp, clear female voice was heard, and a dashing-looking woman dressed in military uniform walked out.

While the person before him was a woman, she oozed power and intimidation, making it clear that she was not someone to be trifled with.

A Celestial, eh? Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was able to tell that the woman before her was someone at the Celestial Realm. He then noted her military garb and her overflowing aura as a military officer.

It was not difficult for him to speculate that she was probably some elite fighter fostered in the military.

In a world that was about to reach the golden era of cultivators soon, where even the Huaxian government went on to strategically develop an organization like the Special Task Force, it was only natural that the military chose not to sit on their hands.

Due to having funding that rivaled the Special Task Force’s and an organization that specialized in administering violence, the members of the military had a very high number of people with cultivation talents. As such, fostering several Celestial Realm beings was actually quite a simple task.

However, due to the Special Task Force being the one in the spotlight thanks to their high-profile frontline actions, few knew that the military was just as capable.

But then again, not even Lu Xuan expected to see someone like that in the military.

The woman before him looked anything but ordinary. She had an air of aristocracy as well, which was something that could not be nurtured in common households.

It was obvious that the woman had quite a background as well.

Not only did she appear as intimidating as any other elite fighter, but she also carried an air of aristocracy not present among middle-class folks.

“You do indeed live up to your reputation, Mr. Lu.”

The woman cupped her hands as she spoke. Her short hair did nothing to mask her stunning appearance. While it was not to say that she was the very pretty type, but she had a dashing charm about her that many would like all the same.

“I’ve never seen anyone capable of seeing through my level of cultivation so easily since I reached this level of cultivation,” the woman smiled and commented.

“Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Wei Ziyu. I’m the leader of the Dragon Fang Special Forces, and my rank is colonel.”

Lu Xuan felt rather stunned. The woman called Wei Ziyu before her looked to be in her twenties at best, and becoming a colonel at such an age meant that she was indeed something.

But then again, he speculated that it most probably had a lot to do with her frightening martial arts capabilities. There would have been no way for her to earn enough merits during peace times to rise that quickly in terms of military rank.

The rank above colonel was senior colonel, and that was one step away from becoming general, a truly high-ranking military officer.

“I initially thought that you perished, and I lamented your loss. But I’m glad to hear that you survived, which is why I came all the way on my own to look for you, Mr. Lu,” Wei Ziyu said right away.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Lu Xuan frowned and asked.

“It’s nothing. Actually, I just thought of sparring with you for a bit, Mr. Lu. While you’re indeed known to be the number one throughout the world, I’d like to spar with you all the same. Only by trading blows with top-notch fighters will I know where I truly stand at the moment,” she answered frankly.

“Of course, to be honest, there are people who would like to make you and me a couple. I’m rather indifferent to the arrangement, but I suspect that you wouldn’t let others push you around. So, it’s best to just pretend that none of that exists.”

Lu Xuan felt rather exasperated when he heard that. He realized that the meet-up was actually some kind of twisted blind date.

When he first emerged and rose to prominence, there had been countless people who came looking for his parents for matchmaking purposes.

However, as time passed and his status continued to rise, especially when he came to be known as the number one throughout the world, all those people disappeared.
