Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 28: Killing to Level up?

"As long as I can ruin their business, I can obtain some contribution points from them," Chen Mo thought as he clenched the scroll.

"Although I will undoubtedly offend the Lu family, I don't care, as I will never advance without a cultivation method."

His eyes glinted with determination. However, a sudden knock came, displeasing him.

Knock! Knock!

"Who is it?" Chen Mo's face twisted with displeasure.

"Boss, may I come in?" he heard his subordinate's voice, although tinged with a little dissatisfaction he said.

"You can come in."

"Master, it appears that the twins of the Lu family went to ask the young master of the family, Lu Zhen, for help," a man said with a respectful bow.

The man had green hair, a half-black skin tone, and a somewhat handsome face, although not as much as Lu Zhen.

Hearing this, Chen Mo gritted his teeth and his frown deepened.

"Damn it, I can't deal with the Lu family if they take action. However, the twins are merely abandoned children, so it shouldn't be difficult. Besides, the young master of the Lu family is a nobody who hasn't even entered the martial trainee realm and is a drunkard. He should have just ignored the twins. In that case, I still have more time…"

As he thought about that, his expression slightly eased.

Chen Mo was a cautious man. Despite daring to meddle with members of the Lu family, even if they were abandoned, he decided to be prudent and plant some spies on them. Though risky, he was willing to take the chance.

"Alright, just ignore them and continue targeting them. And if the twins come, kill them as well, Li Wei," Chen Mo said, a sneer replacing his previous frown.

"Alright, master," Li Wei bowed respectfully.

Chen Mo wore a content expression as the subordinate left, though the subordinate himself had a frown on his face.

"That bastard plans to sacrifice us after he's used us…" Li Wei understood that Chen Mo would undoubtedly abandon them after they'd killed a member of the Lu family. After all, once they committed such an act, the Lu family would chase them to the ends of the world to save their face.

Although Chen Mo could run away as he was a third-stage martial artist, they couldn't.

"I must think of a way…" Li Wei's eyes flashed as he left.

"What are you doing here, sweeping? You should do that at the outer camps," Lu Wei harshly reprimanded a random bandit whose hunched back was busy sweeping the floor.

"Yes, second leader," the bandit hurriedly bowed and quickly left.

Disgust filled Li Wei's eyes as he watched the bandit leave in haste.

He had always looked down on the other common bandits, considering them nothing more than common fodder. They were mere ordinary men without a single ounce of qi.

However he didn't know that this was the last day he could breathe air.

As the common bandit left, his hunched back suddenly straightened, and his hurried steps transformed into strong and firm strides. His clothes seemed to morph, revealing Yu Bai, as he left the bandit camp as stealthily as he had arrived.

Meanwhile, the twins continued their conversation, completely unaware that Lu Zhen was overhearing it all. Lu Zhen, bored of trying to meditate, decided to check his status as he had some spare time.

[Adaptability: level 2]

There wasn't much change in his status; he had gained a year of lifespan and the adapt skill. Apart from those, he hadn't acquired many other skills yet.

Disappointed with himself, if he could level up faster he decided to go on a killing spree today.

However, before he could ponder further, a black silhouette flashed before him.

"Young master, here," Yu Bai respectfully said as he handed him a sheet of paper. As Lu Zhen took the paper and compared its contents with the information he had received from Li Jiao, he found them to be mostly similar, which put him at ease.

The twins had also ceased their conversation.

As he compared it, he found that it was mostly similar to what he had, which made him relieved.

After all, he had read some tactics of war in his previous life, and one of the most famous sayings was, "Know yourself, know your enemy even better, and you shall win all battles." This quote was quite renowned in his world and was quite practical too.

So, Lu Zhen knew the value of information very much. Seeing that the information was correct, he felt a little relieved.

With the reassurance that the information was accurate, Lu Zhen's determination and a hint of murderous intent surged within him.

"Alright, let's go," he declared, ready to take action. He had no qualms about killing to level up faster and become stronger, especially when dealing with bandits who had committed numerous evil deeds. Although he was being a bit hypocritical, he paid little mind to it.

It was their fault for being weak while committing crimes at the same time. After all, the truth was they were weak; that's why they were resorting to robbing the poor. If they were strong, they could subjugate others to the point of willingly becoming their slaves *cough* subordinates.

This was the harsh reality of the world, applicable in any world – even the blue planet was no exception.

The twins were a bit suspicious of Lu Zhen's excitement. After all, it was their problem that was being solved, and some mere monkey wine, although rare, shouldn't have made Lu Zhen so excited.

Despite their suspicions about Lu Zhen's motives, they didn't care much. In fact, they were happy that their problem would be resolved, and they could resume their business again.
