Level Up in Martial World

"What do you want, Lu Zhen?" Xia Mei opened her mouth; however, the voice that came out was very different from her real voice. This voice was more aged and feminine, while Xia Mei's voice had a more youthful and mature tone.

Lu Zhen looked at her with a strange glint in his eyes. "I want to make a deal with you," he asked with a smirk on his face.

Xia Mei paused for a second before she started to laugh in a loud voice.

"What makes you think that you are worthy for me to make a deal with?" Her expression turned serious.

Lu Zhen just shrugged. "I will kill your descendant, then," his crimson eyes reflected a cold hellfire that seemed to burn every single emotion within him.

Xia Mei's eyes narrowed. "You won't kill my descendant; I know it," she replied with a confident tone in her aged voice.

"Yeah, I won't kill you. Of course, your descendant is my wife. I won't kill her for such a petty reason, but I have other options as well," Lu Zhen replied with a sneer on his face as he looked at her with mockery reflected in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Xia Mei asked with narrowed eyes.

"I could just take your descendant's bloodline instead. It will be even purer than the one you would give. I will be hitting two targets with one arrow then," Lu Zhen said with an innocent smile on his face like a child's.

"You dare." She erupted with a terrifying aura.

However, Lu Zhen just shrugged as he subtly released his aura, making it a makeshift shield from his Aura, defending against the terrifying Aura of the old monster.

"Huh." Xia Mei looked at Lu Zhen with a puzzled gaze. Although his aura changed into a shield and was defending him, it couldn't be seen by the naked eye at all because it simply couldn't be seen.

Even Lu Zhen, with his aura control skill, could only see his own aura, and that too, he could only sense it.

"What kind of creature are you?" the old monster took back her aura, seeing it was ineffective.

"However, do you think that just because you were able to withstand my aura, you will be able to escape from my power and go scot-free?"

"Yes, in fact, you will beg me to take the bloodline for you," Lu Zhen said with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Huh, what do you mea-"

Suddenly, Lu Zhen shot forward at a terrifying speed and reached her almost instantly as a small paper appeared in his hand. He plastered it on Xia Mei's head.

Xia Mei's eyes widened as she back-stepped, but it was too late; Lu Zhen had already planted the paper in her head, blocking her from vision.

"What is this?" Xia Mei voiced with puzzlement as she tried to take it out.

Ahhh!

A terrifying pain erupted as Xia Mei cried in misery while screaming for her life. She directly fell to the ground while screaming miserably.

Lu Zhen looked at her coldly.

It had been in his mind for a long time to beat this old monster, and he had been studying the history of the bloodline martial artist from the wizard's book.

Knowledge is power!

With just the knowledge he had gained from the mage book, Lu Zhen had an arsenal of techniques to use against these people. He had in-depth analysed them to the point where Lu Zhen might know more about her than herself.

After all, the mages were the actual creators of the bloodline martial artist and would definitely know more about it than the eight subjects, won't they?

The screams of Xia Mei were eventually replaced by her lifeless voice, and her sound turned back to normal. She looked at Lu Zhen with a confused expression.

"Huh, what happened here?"

Ahhh!

She started to scream as well in pain.

"Lu Zhen, what is this? Take this out, help me, it hurts," Xia Mei said. However, Lu Zhen just looked at her with a cold face while staring.

Seeing the unresponsive Lu Zhen, Xia Mei gritted her teeth in anger.

"How did you know?" she asked with a frown on her face.

"I know more about you than you yourself might not know," Lu Zhen said with a casual shrug.

"You…"

Bzt!

The pain started to build up again, however, Xia Mei looked at Lu Zhen with hatred in her eyes.

"Alright, fine. I will give you the bloodline; now let me go," Xia Mei said with a resigned expression.

However, even after that, Lu Zhen didn't move at all, just standing still like a towering mountain as he coldly watched her writhing figure, his crimson eyes without a hint of a warmth like a devil.

"What more do you want? Don't take it too far-" she frowned.

"Well, if you had previously taken my offer, I would gladly take your offer and go our separate way, but now?" Lu Zhen smirked as he looked at her with his crimson gaz filled with mockery.

"I know a very interesting thing about you. It looks like your corpses are being stored in a special way, and with you guys using a method that can make your soul leave out of the body, granting your soul near-immortality. However, it left you with countless wounds and loopholes that will come back to bite you," Lu Zhen sneered as he looked at Xia Mei's trembling figure.

Suddenly, his mind seemed to be filled with thoughts as countless emotions erupted at him like a dam that just opened.

Lu Zhen hurriedly controlled his emotions as he looked around.

The trembling Xia Mei was already very close to him, right in front of his face.

"I need more mental defence and things for me to protect myself and others," Lu Zhen thought, with a bitter expression on his face.

The trembling Xia Mei wanted to attack but couldn't, no matter how much she tried.
