Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 17: Benefits of divine physique

"Sigh, looks like age is getting to me," Yu Bai thought with a mixture of emotions. He felt that Lu Zhen was taking too much of a risk. Lu Zhen still had a bright future ahead of him, and he shouldn't risk his life to kill a mere assassin. After all, Lu Zhen had just begun his martial path, and just by solely relying on the abundant resources from the Lu family, he could easily reach the second stage of martial arts with a little effort.

"Yu bai, you should…" Lu Zhen tried to say something, but he coughed up blood again.

"Young master, you shouldn't risk your life like that. You still have a bright future ahead," Yu Bai said with a guilty expression.

"I just wanted to test my limits, Old Bai. Don't worry," Lu Zhen said with a poker face, trying to reassure his loyal servant.

"Young master, here are the medicines," Little Lily said as she brought some white ropes that looked like bandages but were smaller in size and thicker than the common bandages from Lu Zhen's previous world. She also had a small porcelain glass bottle filled with a blue liquid and some green paste in a bowl.

Little Lily went towards Lu Zhen and applied the green paste to the bandage. Then, she carefully wrapped the bandage around Lu Zhen's body.

As she applied the bandage, Lu Zhen was shocked as he felt a slight pain when the green paste started to stick to his body. It was as if the paste had a corrosive property that could bypass his defense of his constitution and directly hurt him which shocked him to his core. After all, Lu Zhen didn't feel pain even when he took all that rebound but these mere paste could make him feel pain.

Slowly the paste seeped into his skin, he felt a stinging sensation. However, moments later, he felt the qi around him becoming more abundant than before as the qi gathered and started sticking with the green paste. Lu Zhen was intrigued by the method.

After some time, more qi gathered near him. He felt the urge to absorb the qi, but he resisted the temptation to do so directly into his body. After all, he wasn't the only one who could sense qi here, as both Jiang Xue and Old Bai could sense it. Although he was confident he could hide this from Jiang Xue, it was almost impossible to hide it from Yu Bai, a genuine peak third-stage martial artist.

He wasn't confident enough to absorb Qi directly in front of Yu Bai and risk exposing his own secrets. He wasn't a fan of revealing his secrets unless it benefited him. After all, the less people knew about his secret, the better it was.

After some time, Little Lily said, "Young master, you have to drink this now," as she handed him the small porcelain glass containing the blue liquid.

From the memories of the previous host, Lu Zhen he knew the blue liquid could help him heal as he has used it countless time to heal himself however the previous host of the body was a weak mortal so he didn't have much perception about the intricate of it but now that Lu Zhen was a martial trainee he could witness how these herbs works in this world.

As he drank the blue liquid by removing the cork of the bottle, he felt a warm sensation as the qi sticking to the green paste became active. They gently vibrated and interacted with the surrounding qi, which all surrounded him and his body. After just a few moments, he felt all the internal injuries that he had caused himself slowly begin to recover. His pain lessened a little, and he started to feel better.

Lu Zhen was intrigued by the method as an idea popped in his head on how to make use of it. However he needed some materials for that.

"Let's go now," Lu Zhen said as he had recovered enough to freely walk around.

Yu Bai, Jiang Xue, and Little Lily were stunned again. Although the medicine was top-grade enough for healing injuries, he shouldn't have recovered so fast.

"Young master, you should take some more rest," Little Lily said worriedly, with concern evident in her tone.

"Don't worry, Little Lily, I am fine," Lu Zhen assured her as they all went toward the carriage.

"Let's go, Old Bai, back to our mansion again," Lu Zhen directed.

Although Yu Bai was still hesitant to drive the carriage, he complied with his order, and they returned in the same direction.

"Not bad, it looks like after attaining divine physique, it has granted me countless advantages. It not only enhanced my raw strength to be comparable to a peak third stage martial artist, but it also allowed me perfect control over my body. It looks like I heal much faster than others because of the divine physique. It seems that the constitution is equal to the base stats of all my physical body," Lu Zhen thought as he contemplated his situation and how to improve himself more.

After all, seeing that even after realizing he was the young master of the Lu family, the assassins attacked them without a second thought made him consider his own safety.

And seeing how the assassin attacked him without hesitation, they must have been given orders to kill him if he hindered them from killing Jiang Xue. So their backer must have an equal or even higher background compared to him.

And if they had a second stage martial artist, they would have slaughtered them with the back of their hands. After all, despite his raw power being comparable to a peak third stage martial artist, it was just in raw strength.

Any martial artist in the third peak stage could defeat him easily using some tricks. He couldn't even defeat a third peak stage martial artist, and if a second stage martial artist attacked them, they would have died for sure. Lu Zhen felt chills as he thought to that point.

So he was even more determined to level up in this world; after all, to fulfil his ambition, he needed to live first.

In an unknown, luxurious mansion, the sound of cracking echoed as a table was destroyed by a furious youth. Veins popped on his head as he tightly clenched a scroll in his hand.

"Dammit, the assassination failed!" the youth shouted at the top of his lungs.
