Level Up in Martial World

Lu Zhen looked at the two chattering and couldn't help but cough, interrupting them.

"Shall we go now?" His big hand went towards Jiang Xue's waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Jiang Xue blushed but didn't resist; instead, she rested her head on his chest with a smile.

"You boy…." Lu Ming was left speechless, while Fang Ying just shrugged it off.

Soon, Jiang Xue, under the embrace of Lu Zhen, led them outside the palace.

"So where is the inheritance cave, Jiang Xue?" Lu Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You will know when I guide you there," Jiang Xue smirked with a proud expression.

Lu Zhen slightly fixed his collar and then muttered, "I guess it should be outside the city?"

That's what he thought...

To Lu Zhen's disbelief, she directly led Lu Zhen, Lu Ming, and Fang Ying to a deserted part of the city.

"Hey, look there."

"Is that Lord Lu?"

"Oh my god, he is so handsome and tall…"

A crowd of people gathered respectfully, keeping their distance as they looked at the tall figure of Lu Zhen with reverence in their eyes.

"Hmph." Jiang Xue pouted slightly, looking around unhappily at the sight of his fangirls.

"You have a lot of admirers, some of them are even beauties. Why don't you take them as concubines?"

"Not everyone can be my concubine. To be qualified, she must be one of the most beautiful women in the world and have enough cultivation talent, just like you," Lu Zhen whispered, his hot breath stinging her neck.

A red hue appeared on the cold face of Jiang Xue as she shyly looked at him.

"Stop teasing me," she whispered.

Lu Zhen just chuckled slightly with a smile on his face.

Soon, Jiang Xue led them to the right side of the city.

"Is the inheritance here?" Lu Zhen looked at the empty patch of land with some disbelief in his eyes.

"Yes, it's here," Jiang Xue nodded.

She took out the broken pendant.

"This is…" Lu Zhen remembered this was the item that protected Jiang Xue during the assassin's attack, creating a barrier that completely shielded her.

"This thing is from the inheritance cave, right?"

"Yes, more specifically, it is a key to enter it. Unfortunately, my talent is not sufficient to complete the inheritance yet," Jiang Xue sighed, pity in her eyes.

"Hmm, what kind of test is it?" Lu Zhen asked, a frown on his face.

"The test involves killing projections of enemies based on your age and cultivation. But for you, husband," Jiang Xue paused, feeling shy for some reason when she said "husband, it should be easy for you. There is a spirit in the inheritance cave who will guide you. Even if you fail, you can still live and gain some benefits."

"Do you know which ancient sect this is from?" Lu Zhen asked, narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know. Although that spirit seemed to be extremely friendly, whenever I asked, she avoided the question," Jiang Xue pursed her lips. "Also, you can try the challenge as many times as you want."

"Oh, interesting," Lu Zhen nodded with interest.

"Let's enter then."

He looked at the place and then set off fireworks. Instantly, all the soldiers mobilised and formed a barricade around the area.

"Guard this place at all costs."

Jiang Xue looked around as the soldiers gathered, forming a tight formation. Each of the soldiers was emitting the aura of a third-stage martial artist.

However, what was terrifying was not their individual aura; instead, it was the combination of their auras and a faint figure formed right in front of them in the outline of the grim reaper.

"Is that the grim reaper avatar that you previously fought?" she couldn't help but exclaim.

"You are right, but this is just a cheap imitation that I myself created," Lu Zhen muttered thoughtfully.

"You made an army formation just by yourself? Even if it is an imitation, that is incredible." Jiang Xue was shocked.

Lu Zhen smiled, "Of course, your husband is capable."

"Amazing." Jiang Xue pouted a little, her cold face seeming untouched by dust.

She looked so unbearably cute that Lu Zhen wanted to pull her cheeks and kiss her right there, but he resisted the urge for now.

"By the way, I am curious. The previous battle formation was driven by so many second-stage martial artists and millions of people, but the consumption was astronomical. I know this is just an imitation, but there are barely several hundred third-stage martial artists. How can they effortlessly carry it?"

Lu Zhen smiled upon hearing Jiang Xue's confused tone.

"Those were not true soldiers. No matter how powerful the battle formation is, those soldiers didn't have emotions; they were like dolls with no killing intent. How could they compete with my soldiers, whom I have personally trained?" He put his arms behind his back like an expert. "Martial artists are the strongest when their emotions are stimulated and their hidden potential is activated."

"Sure, it can be a double-edged sword. However, the battle formation also fuels the desires and the killing aura materialized by these soldiers. Without killing intent and those burning desires, no battle formation in the world will work at full strength."

"I see." Jiang Xue nodded her head.

"Actually, I didn't make it alone. Lily helped with her deep understanding of formations," Lu Zhen smiled mysteriously.

Jiang Xue tightened her fist when she heard this. "I need to be stronger and have other skills if I want to help Lu Zhen."

With that said, she walked into the empty space and extended her broken bracelet.

In Lu Zhen's vision, he saw a blinding blue light, and the pure Qi in the surrounding seemed to be disrupted, time seemed to freeze.

Under his astonished gaze, the fabric of space seemed to tear, revealing a new world from it.

"This is really tearing the fabric of reality, not the nihilith realm that the first-stage martial artist could create." Lu Zhen felt like he was dreaming.
