Level Up in Martial World

"So, young master, you have been summoned back to the camp."

"Alright," Lu Zhen muttered as he considered something. "Should I leave some here to defend this point? Although I did burn the fortress, I should still leave some here just in case."

"As you wish, young master," she bowed, nodding with excitement.

"There are countless praises for you in the main camp for your strategy to use boats to cross the river. Your achievement will surely be recorded in the annals of history of the Lu family, young master..."

"It was just luck. I got a flash of inspiration and did it." Lu Zhen nodded with a humble expression.

"Truly, you must have gotten lucky," Lu Yuan grumbled, looking at Lu Zhen with hatred in his eyes.

Lu Zhen's ears twitched when he heard this, but he maintained a smile on his face. Although Lu Yuan spoke in a hushed voice, Lu Zhen's heightened senses allowed him to pick up the words clearly. With his improved senses and body cultivation, he had become even stronger.

Even Lu Yuan should have that knowledge; that meant he intentionally said it.

"I should finish this guy if I ever get the chance," he muttered, as Lu Zhen was pretty certain that he would do the same if Lu Yuan got the chance.

"Alright, let's depart as quickly as possible," Lu Zhen said as he clapped his hands.

"Tch," Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, seeing the smile of Lu Zhen. "Did he ignore me, or does he think I am not worthy enough of his level?" His fist tightened as his nails dug into his hand, making him bleed; however, it was too thin to be noticed.

"The plan is going awry. If the Xia family and Huang family are exterminated by the Lu family, they will be dead for sure," Lu Yuan thought with a dark face.

"At that time, if they find that I have colluded with other forces..." His face turned dark, as he didn't dare to imagine the consequences that he would face if that did happen.

"What should I do now? The tournament is completely useless..."

"Eh, why are you blacking out, brother? Let's go."

Lu Yuan was startled as he stood up.

"Young master has already left," she said speechlessly. "Although my brother has become a third-stage martial artist, he has become dumber."

"This..." Lu Yuan gritted his teeth as his anger rose, however, somehow he managed to control it as he nodded his head.

"Let's go."

As they left the camp, they saw the soldiers hurriedly packing with excitement in their eyes.

"I will prove to you that I am correct," Lu Yuan suddenly said as he randomly stopped a soldier.

"Tell me, why do you consider Lu Zhen in such a position?"

The soldier was abruptly startled as he was about to curse, but when he saw the symbol of the verdant tree on both of their dresses, his attitude changed 180 degrees as his face turned flattering.

"Master and miss, what can I do for you?" Although he was war-hardened, he wasn't brain-dead to disrespect a direct descendant of the family for no reason. Besides, since he was young, he has always been ingrained with loyalty to the Lu family, so how could he disrespect them?

"Tell me, has Lu Zhen shown you his strength?"

"No, young master, why?" the soldier said with a strange expression.

"Huh," Lu Yuan was stumped when he heard this.

"Although the young master did kill the grand elder of the Xia family, we didn't see it."

"Then why are you singing the song of Lu Zhen so much?" Lu Yuan said with hints of anger in his tone.

Hearing this, the soldier's anger faltered as well. "Young master is our saviour, what do you mean?"

"He not only promised us compensation for every drop of blood we shed, but he also..." The soldier rambled on and on about Lu Zhen's achievements without even stopping for a single second, his eyes flashing with fanaticism for Lu Zhen.

After he finished the heroic tale of Lu Zhen, he looked coldly at Lu Yuan and walked away.

"This..." He looked back to see the smug smile of his sister.

"What did you say previously, brother?"

"Umm..." Lu Yuan coldly turned around and walked away to leave the camp without looking back.

"Sigh, my brother will end up being killed with their attitude," she sighed as she followed him.

"Why is my emotion out of control?" He thought as his body shook. Although he didn't consider himself wise to control his emotions, still he could maintain his demeanor. But now even the slightest thing made him angry for no reason at all.

While his body felt pain from time to time, a soul-rending pain that made him freeze from time to time at night.

"There is definitely some side-effect in this pill..." Lu Yuan thought with gritted teeth. "However, he shouldn't have lied about making me a first-stage martial artist, did he?" He felt a shiver down his spine when he considered the possibility.

He bit his nails as he thought, "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?..."

"Brother, why did you suddenly walk away from the camp? Young master and his army still aren't prepared to leave yet. Wouldn't it be better to leave with them instead?"

Lu Yuan's malevolent eyes suddenly fell towards her.

"Huh." Suddenly she backstepped as she felt her instinct scream at her with danger.

"Brother, what are you doi-"

All she saw was a punch come at her straight before her vision turned black.

Ahhh!

A terrifying scream of a girl resounded in the forest.

"You bitch, it's all because of you praising Lu Zhen. Aren't you my sister? Why would you do that?" Lu Yuan's voice echoes in the surrounding.

The terrifying scream eventually stopped and returned back to calmness as the entire forest became calm again with only the animal noises echoing in the forest from time to time.
