Chapter 688 - After I Surpass You, You Understand What Happens, Right?
Nangong Jing and the rest rushed him to eat faster. They even wanted to spoon-feed him.
He finished the last dumpling and put down his chopsticks speechlessly. Were they still proper foodies? Lu Ze felt he hadn’t given them enough influence. He needed to work harder.
Nangong Jing immediately dragged him towards the virtual reality pod. “Hurry up and spar with me. Let’s see how much stronger you have gotten.” She felt she needed to give herself some mental preparation.
Lu Ze’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t object.
His speed had improved quite a bit. He wanted to test it out too.
By the way...
He just realized he hadn’t given this lightning divine art a cool name yet.
He frowned and contemplated.
It was a lightning divine art and a speed-type. He would call it “Lightning Travel”.
Lightning Travel divine art!
Lu Ze was happy with this name. It was simple yet elegant.
Thereafter, everyone went into the virtual reality pod. They were all curious about Lu Ze’s progress. Within the hundred-kilometer radius of the stage composed of a vast stone, everyone had switched into loose martial arts robes.
Lu Ze was wearing black while the girls were wearing white.
Nangong Jing and Lu Ze were standing, facing each other.
They would cultivate every morning before. His power didn’t match Nangong Jing’s yet, but if he tried his best, he would get the most out of it.
Of course, Lu Ze didn’t want to lose, but his current power didn’t allow it.
“Start.” Lu Ze smiled.
Nangong Jing’s eye’s narrowed. Her body flashed with golden light. The ground already started to crack as Nangong Jing disappeared from the spot.
This type of movement technique divine art was good for bursts of speed but not much for long distances.
Screech! Rumble!
Lu Ze grinned, and his eyes flashed with purple runes.
Lightning Travel divine art!
Bzzz.
Blood lightning swam around Lu Ze across all directions.
Lu Ze’s body turned into a bolt of blood lightning and dodged Nangong Jing’s fist. Then, he appeared on her side.
Blood lightning gathered, forming tens of lightning spears, while he let out a punch. The star crippling punch was being prepared too. As for the lightning cloud, it was useless against Nangong Jing. She could destroy it before it formed, and he would have wasted spirit force.
A heavy explosion sounded in the sky. Space was distorted.
The spirit force spread in every direction possible until it was blocked by an invisible wall at the border of the stage.
Nangong Jing was scared by Lu Ze’s speed.
During the previous fights, Lu Ze used space transmission to barely dodge her attacks. Then, as her cultivation level improved, she could use her god arts to suppress space. Lu Ze was chased around every fight.
But now, Lu Ze used this speed divine art. This was a divine art he had never used before.
She wasn’t shocked about him gaining a new one, but she was shocked about how fast this divine art was.
Speed wasn’t her specialty, but hers had reached a medium level in the level-4 planetary state. Yet, this guy still managed to maneuver through her attacks.
Although there was a bit of reluctance on her part, this speed was definitely on par with the primary stage of level-4 planetary state.
He was a level-8 mortal evolution state, and yet, his speed reached this level. Just up to what degree did he learn this divine art?
There was no way this guy used five days to learn a clearly high-level divine art to perfection, right?
Even this guy couldn’t be that absurd.
This speed was almost catching up to her. How far were his other aspects from her? She was going to be over soon at this rate.
She had enjoyed the past, and now, karma was coming quick.
Nangong Jing was scared by Lu Ze’s speed. Only when the lightning spear came near did she wake up.
She raised her brow and went all-out with her power.
Rumble!
The golden light burst again. Nangong Jing broke free from the attack of the lightning spears and flew to the side.
As soon as she did, Lu Ze did the same.
His golden fist force created a tidal wave that struck towards Nangong Jing’s chest.
Seeing Lu Ze keep up with her rhythm, Nangong Jing became more worried. However, she also greeted Lu Ze’s fist with the star crippling punch. Nangong Jing was a level-2 planetary state, and her body god art was extremely strong. Lu Ze gave her first body god art and golden body god art. Her body god art was even stronger than Lu Ze’s.
This punch’s power approached level-5 planetary state. Lu Ze was instantly flung away, and his right hand was fractured a bit.
When he landed, there was severe pain coming from his right hand.
Nangong Jing looked worriedly at Lu Ze’s hand. “Are you okay? I took back quite some power.”
This was a virtual reality, but she was still worried.
Lu Ze looked strangely at her. When they just met, she would never ask about this.
He waved his noodle-like right hand. “Does this look fine?”
Before she could say anything, his right hand flashed with gray light, and the hand started to recover.
Seeing this, Nangong Jing was furious. This bastard dared to play with her?
Meanwhile, those who were off the stage realized that Lu Ze became stronger indeed.
Alice said with admiration, “Senior is so fast.”
Qiuyue Hesha narrowed her eyes. “Little brother Lu Ze would be able to catch up to us soon.”
His speed was very fast, and his defenses weren’t weak. He just needed to improve his attack, and then, he would really be able to challenge them.
When his hand completely recovered, Lu Ze saw that Nangong Jing maintained her position.
He was touched. Since when was she this gentle and caring?
He grinned. “How is it?”
Nangong Jing said, “It’s okay.”
Lu Ze prodded further, “Are you worried? Remember how great you felt beating me up every day. When I surpass you, you understand what’s going to happen, right?”
His long time wish was about to be fulfilled.
Nangong Jing’s heart skipped. This bastard was vengeful.
She suddenly smiled. “Well, you haven’t reached it yet.”
Then, she charged up again.
“Hey! What are you doing?! We fought already. Wait!”
Lu Ze howled in pain.
Moments later, Nangong Jing walked off the stage with a satisfied expression while Lu Ze rubbed the bumps on his head.
