Level Up in Martial World

"Young master, why are you here?" a soldier asked respectfully, stunned by Lu Zhen's unexpected presence.

"Why wouldn't I be here while my brothers and sisters are working? How could I laze off?" Lu Zhen replied in a cold tone.

"Eh." The soldier was shocked to the core as he watched Lu Zhen approaching the boat and starting to lift it.

"He really is doing it," he thought with a terrified expression; however, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of excitement.

With widened eyes, all the soldiers watched as Lu Zhen effortlessly carried the boat, weighing at least 10 tons.

Compared to the pressure he felt in the river that squeezed him from all sides, almost like he was being ground, this much weight was nothing for Lu Zhen to bear.

Lu Zhen carried one boat in one hand and went to the other boat.

"This..." the soldiers' faces turned from shock to horror as they watched Lu Zhen go to pick up the other boat.

The boat Lu Zhen chose this time was twice as large as the previous one, weighing at least 20 tons. Although the boat was relatively small, the wood used was denser and stronger, giving it more mass than any common boats from Lu Zhen's previous world.

"Let's go," Lu Zhen declared as he walked out of the camp, effortlessly carrying two boats on his two arms.

The soldiers felt a strange excitement as they followed Lu Zhen, also carrying boats with fiery determination in their eyes. They roared as they followed Lu Zhen, their eyes burning with a deep fire.

"Young master, why are you carrying the boats yourself? That's the work of common soldiers," Lu Nan expressed her disdain as she watched Lu Zhen carry the boats. However, he dismissed her with a stern look.

"Who else is going to carry the boats if not me?" Lu Zhen's voice resonated loudly, shaking the surroundings.

"Young ma…" Lu Nan attempted to say something, but she wasn't given a chance as she was ignored.

Lu Zhen left without listening to her as he carried the boats.

"Faster, soldiers!" he shouted.

The soldiers' eyes showed determination as they walked even faster.

Lu Zhen remained expressionless as his speed increased, just enough for the soldiers to keep up with.

He also cleared the path for the soldiers by destroying all obstacles obstructing the pathway.

"He really is special, huh…" Li Jiao said with some fascination as she looked at Lu Zhen and the riled-up soldiers.

Lu Wi nodded her head as a small blush appeared on her face. "He really is," she muttered in a hushed voice that no one could hear.

Previously, she might have liked him because of her grandpa's instruction to seduce Lu Zhen, but now she started to develop genuine feelings for him. This attraction wasn't just because of his appearance but also because of his charisma.

The bald man and the blue-haired man also nodded in agreement—all except for the blond woman, Lu Nan.

"Damn it," she gritted her teeth; however, a smile formed outwardly as she, too, nodded her head.

Making all four of them look at her strangely.

"You know we could see your expression, which is faking it, right?" Li Jiao said with a smirk on her face.

"What are you talking about?" Lu Nan played dumb when she heard this. She forgot that they weren't common individuals; they were all in the same rank as her, so they could naturally tell what her emotions were with their five senses.

"Forget it," Li Jiao said helplessly, but she reminded her again, "if you really keep that attitude, you know what will happen to you, right?"

She sighed as she remembered her previous friendship with her.

"What attitude?" a frown morphed on Lu Nan's face as she sped up, leaving the four captains carefully trailing behind Lu Zhen.

"Sigh, I wonder when she will recover from that," Li Jiao sighed as she also increased her speed.

The bald and the blue-haired man also nodded when they heard this as they shook their heads with a sigh, while Lu Wi had a confused expression on her face.

"Eh, what happened to these two in the past?"

"You don't have to worry about that thing; it was a long time ago," the bald man said as he spoke no further of it.

Seeing this, Lu Wi nodded as she stopped from speaking any further and sped up.

"One, two, three, four," Lu Zhen said as he encouraged the soldiers. "Who's gonna carry the boats?"

"We are!" The soldiers roared, their bodies already stained in sweat. Their bodies hurt like hell, but none of them gave up from the adrenaline rush. Every muscle was being used in their bodies as they walked and walked while carrying the boats without a beat.

Lu Zhen nodded his head internally, but his expression remained cold. He said, "Louder."

"We are gonna carry the boats!"

"Louder."

"We are gonna carry the boats!" The earth shook from the sound they made.

With that said, Lu Zhen remained silent the entire journey as they slowly arrived at the river.

Seeing the river again, Lu Zhen had a strange expression as he quickly regained his calm demeanour.

"Put the boats in the water," Lu Zhen commanded as he launched the two boats into the air, allowing them to glide smoothly into the river.

As the boat landed on the river as if defying the mortal senses it didn't flow with the tide of the water instead it remained still.

"This is the moment of truth," Lu Zhen muttered to himself, holding his breath. He patiently controlled the boats with his mental energy to prevent them from drifting away on the water's surface.

Using mental energy on the surface of the river wasn't a concern for Lu Zhen.

However, underwater, numerous aquatic beasts in the second-stage martial realm or even higher lurked. If he were to probe using his mental energy, these creatures could instantly detect him. While his five senses were weaker underwater, it was challenging to remain undetected.
