Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 277: Peers into the Soul



Lu Zhen frowned as he and the two old men were slowly led by Lu Qing made their way through his passageway, littered with various arts and furnishings.

He looked at the blue panel in front of him, which showed a red cross with an error written on it.

Not only that, there was written a small text just below it called "attack."

"System, what is this attack option?" Lu Zhen called out internally.

[Host, this is a new function of the system that allows you to attack someone through the defense they have from their Intent.] The familiar cold mechanical voice of the system sounded in his head.

"Wait, you mean to say that intent protected those old men from the appraisal?" Lu Zhen narrowed his crimson eyes.

[Yes]

"Hmm," A frown marred Lu Zhen's face. "Does this intent really can compete with the system?" His eyes widened in disbelief.

[No, host. These entities are far weaker than the system, the creator who created me or even I myself is far stronger than them. But these energies provide a certain defense to the soul, protecting it in a certain way. The Appraisal skill that Host uses actually peers the soul of every object in his sight. That is the reason.]

"Wait, creator?" Lu Zhen raised his eyebrows.

[Yes, creator host]

"Who is your creator?"

[You were the one who created me and the one who gave me existence is the higher being. Lowering me to come with you to this world with your transmigration. He was also the one who wiped out the original soul of the body.]

"But I am not strong." Lu Zhen asked with a question mark.

[It is unknown but from the database it seems like you were stronger.]

A frown appeared on his face.

"Any info about these so-called higher beings?" Lu Zhen asked.

He pretty much knew that he had created the system however the system previously said it under another influence wo who knew if it was true or not but now it was pretty much confirmed.

[No]

Lu Zhen shook his head with a sigh hearing this.

"Lu Zhen, is this the place?"

He was suddenly startled awake by the voice of Lu Ming as he nodded his head.

"Yes, it is the place." Lu Zhen nodded his head as he looked at the wall in front of himself, directly pressing a certain point.

With a "rumble," the wall split open, and the four walked in.

The room was even more futuristic than the one Lu Zhen previously had made, with many even better computers or rather supercomputers now.

And they weren't Manless as well, with countless skilled personnel who were all there, operating the things.

The moment they entered, everyone's gaze was drawn towards Lu Zhen and the others.

"Leader Lu Zhen," They greeted with reverence in their eyes.

"Hmm," Lu Zhen nodded his head expressionlessly. "Continue with your work."

"Yes, leader."

Everyone replied enthusiastically and went back to their works.

"Lu Zhen, you seemed to have become even more of a big shot than me. I wasn't even greeted by them, but you were." Lu Ming said with a grumble.

"Well, they love their work, and the reason they greeted me is, after all, I gave them the chance to join in this and taught them how to use it." Lu Zhen replied with a simple smile on his face, with some heart pain.

He has wasted a lot of time screening them individually and teaching them the basics of it, which cut a lot of time from his cultivation as well.

"Sigh, I should probably start focusing on my cultivation fully again after I finish these troubles." Lu Zhen rubbed his forehead.

He didn't want to go to the outside world yet, at least until he became a first-stage martial artist.

"So, how will the bloodline be transferred to Lu Zhen?" Fang Yin asked curiously.

"Well," A smirk graced Lu Zhen lips as he beckoned to Lu Qing, to which she nodded and went away showcasing an object wrapped in a dark blanket.

She unhesitantly opened the dark blanket.

Fang Yin's eyes widened with astonishment. "This is…." With the similar expression from Lu Ming as well.

While Lu Zhen smiled as he looked in front of him with his crimson eyes.

There lay a quiet, huge motor with weirdly heart-shaped pumps and two huge injections that were empty.

"What is this?" Lu Ming asked with a strange expression on his face.

"This is the blood extractor. It is quite easy to use as well." Lu Zhen said in a simple tone.

"Are you sure these would even work?"

The more Lu Ming looked at the cold metal, his expression turned even stranger.

"Yeah, it will have the bloodline for it as well." Lu Zhen looked at Lu Qing again, and she nodded her head as she walked out of the room.

"Where is she going now?" Lu Ming asked with a frown.

Lu Zhen didn't reply instead. He looked at the old man with a glint in his eyes. "Ancestor Lu, before I put the bloodline on you, I will tell you the crucial thing about it."

"Hmm, what is it?" Lu Ming asked with his frown deepening. The atmosphere suddenly became serious, while Fang Yin didn't speak, choosing to remain silent.

"There is a chance of you dying." Lu Zhen replied with a simple expression on his face.

"Me dying?" Lu Ming asked with disbelief. "Aren't they just the bloodline of a first-stage martial beast."

"Yeah, it is, however, the true power hidden in the bloodline of a first-stage martial beast is terrifying, and besides, the beast bloodline that I am injecting you with is from outside the martial world." Lu Zhen said patiently.

"Outside the Martial world, you know about the outside world?" Lu Ming and Fang Yin both asked with a surprised tone.

Their own powerhouse demeanor was no longer replaced by a child who is curious.

"Well, kinda." Lu Zhen replied while scratching his head.

"What do you mean kinda then?"

"I haven't gone outside the martial world, in fact, I haven't even left the vicinity of the forest of the phoenix city, but I have some information about it."

"How?" Fang Yin asked.

"I have my ways." Lu Zhen replied with a smile on his face.

"Besides, this isn't the most important part. The bloodline of this world's beasts are in active or in simple words, weak. Even if there might be a higher stage martial beast that you ancestor Lu, after planting the bloodline, you might not even breakthrough or even have any increase in your strength." Lu Zhen replied, which made ancestor Lu nod his head.

The beast in this martial world was very very feeble and weak, no matter how high their realm reached.

It wasn't even extraordinary to kill a beast of higher realm by some talents as well; there are many such cases even in the Lu Imperial family.

Now that it has even flourished, it could only be said that such talents are found in like drains in a bag.

"So, I will implant the bloodline into you of another world beast that has an equivalent power of the first-stage martial realm; however, the chances of you dying would also be high since the bloodline would be really chaotic…"

"Just do it, Lu Zhen. I am already old and dying soon. If I don't break through, I might never break through." Ancestor Lu said with his eyes flashing with determination.

"Martial artists aren't walking a flowery path, we are walking a path filled with thorns if you don't advance, you will die from the thorns that will come to bite you eventually."
