EFB Chapter 23 Snatching People
Chapter 23 Snatching People
About an hour after Wei Yong and his men were summoned to the Captain's Mansion for questioning, a thick stack of documents was placed on Zhou Hongling's desk.
"What these people said is pretty much the same. According to the information above, Lu Yuan's strength should be at the Body Tempering Realm, but his swordsmanship, archery, and military formations have at least reached the Great Perfection, or even the Perfection."
Zhou Hongling said softly, her eyes gleaming with joy.
"Ahem, what's really shocking is his Body Tempering Realm cultivation. This shows that he's at least at the Perfection stage of Body Tempering and has also cultivated a body-refining technique, which is why he can directly withstand the Tendon Tempering Realm."
"Hiss! Fighting across two realms! This kid's talent and comprehension far exceed my expectations. He already possesses the potential to become a fierce general!" Zhou Ming exclaimed in amazement.
Zhou Hongling kept her head down and didn't speak. She had naturally seen through it, but she didn't want to say it out loud. The reason she wanted Lu Yuan to become her uncle's disciple was to let him learn military formations.
Now that they've already perfected their own military formation, there's no need for them to become disciples of their third uncle.
After all, becoming the other party's disciple meant there was a possibility of being transferred. In the past, she only pursued short-term results, so she didn't care, but that wouldn't be the case now.
Now that I'm a captain, I really should have a capable subordinate.
Seeing that Zhou Hongling didn't respond, Zhou Ming said again, "Ahem, Hongling, Yunmo is injured now, and it will take him some time to recover."
Otherwise, I'll give you face and teach this Lu Yuan a lesson.
"Third Uncle, I think we should forget about it. He has made so many contributions this time, and I was planning to promote him. Besides, we are currently in a standoff with the Northern Barbarians."
He doesn't have time to study either, let's talk about it later." Zhou Hongling refused her third uncle's request without hesitation.
Meanwhile, they were already thinking about how to arrange things for Lu Yuan.
"Hongling, you're wasting talent by leaving him here. Such an outstanding person, if Uncle San were to train him, his future would be limitless."
Now Zhou Ming completely regrets it and has stopped pretending; he's ready to ask for the man directly.
But Zhou Hongling still shook her head: "Third Uncle, you can't say that. I know a lot of things too, and others have achieved such great success without anyone teaching them."
"You already have Yunmo. Sending Lu Yuan under your tutelage would only distract you and waste a talent like him."
At this point, she had already made new arrangements for Lu Yuan, so that her third uncle would not succeed.
"You, you little brat, how can you turn on me so quickly? I'll trade you ten elite veterans at the Bone Forging Realm."
"Not even a hundred will do. Please don't bring this up again." Zhou Hongling insisted firmly.
It would be foolish to push such a talented person under someone else's wing.
It was one thing not knowing about Lu Yuan's talent before, but now that we know, there's no way Third Uncle can take it from us.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Third Uncle, I have something to attend to, so I'll go ahead. Yunmo seems to be able to get out of bed now. I think you should take him back to Wohu Fortress City first."
"It's really unacceptable to be away for so long."
After Zhou Hongling finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Zhou Ming sat there sighing deeply. He never expected that he would miss such a promising talent.
However, they showed no intention of giving up.
The little girl actually told him to leave, so he refused to go.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was unaware of all this; he had just finished taking a shower.
He then took out a "Tiger Soul Pill" and swallowed it.
The most important thing now is to break through.
If he could reach the Bone Forging Realm, he believed that when he encountered that Iron Falcon Centurion, the opponent would not last more than ten moves against him and would have absolutely no chance of escaping.
The moment the pill entered his stomach.
Lu Yuan lay prostrate on the ground like a giant tiger.
The muscles in his body trembled, his chest and abdomen rose and fell, and he made a thunderous sound with his breathing.
At the same time, he could clearly feel the powerful medicinal effects coursing through his body, a feeling he had never experienced before, and it was extremely comfortable.
It's unclear how much time passed before Lu Yuan regained consciousness as the effects of the medicine wore off.
I glanced outside; it was already getting dark.
Having just finished his cultivation, he was quite hungry, but he was too lazy to cook.
He roasted the leftover dry rations from leaving the city on the stove, ate some, and then took out the "Tiger Soul Pill" to consume.
Logically speaking, the maximum a normal person can take is one pill every three days, and some people can only take one pill every ten days. But Lu Yuan is not troubled by this because he has a system that can convert the medicinal properties of the pill into proficiency as quickly as possible.
Moreover, it's 100% absorption. You should know that for the average person, being able to absorb 60% is already considered top genius, while ordinary people can only absorb around 30% at most.
Therefore, Lu Yuan can consume these rare and precious treasures without any worries about side effects.
The next moment, another pill was swallowed.
Having finally acquired cultivation resources, he was determined to break through as quickly as possible.
I felt the effects of the medicine spreading through my body once again.
Lu Yuan's muscles and bones hummed once again.
At this point, one has to marvel at the potency of this medicine.
This feeling was something I had never experienced before.
In one night, Lu Yuan swallowed three pills.
Although I didn't sleep, I felt more comfortable than ever before.
The next morning, just as I got up...
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
As the sound rang out.
Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised; who was coming so early in the morning?
When I opened the gate to the courtyard, it was Old Huang. His eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadn't slept all night.
As soon as she came in, she closed the door and pulled Lu Yuan into the house.
Somewhat anxiously, he said, "After you left yesterday, Wei Yong and I were taken to the Captain's Mansion and questioned about the process of killing Tie Yaozi. They were questioned separately, and I was worried that the story wouldn't match up, so I told them everything I saw."
It shouldn't affect you much, right? After I came out, I discussed it with Wei Yong and the others, and we all said pretty much the same thing.
Everyone asked me to come and give you a heads-up today.
Clearly, Lu Yuan had completely won over his subordinates.
Then, he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, just tell me what happened, it's nothing serious. Have the silver for the fallen brothers been distributed?"
"I sent him away last night. Although he's dead, with that money, the family can hold on for a while. I'm glad it won't affect you. I'll be going now; I haven't gone home yet."
Old Huang rubbed his hands together and said.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, then you go back first and rest for a couple of days. I'll call you when it's time to leave the city."
"Okay," Old Huang replied and left.
Lu Yuan took out the dry rations, intending to heat them up before eating.
He made no attempt to hide his abilities. This was a military camp, where everything depended on strength. Only those with strong talent and high skill would avoid being used as cannon fodder.
Only then will it have any value.
Moreover, another point is that after acquiring the system, his strength improved rapidly. For example, others now believe that his strength is only at the Great Perfection or Perfection stage, but he has already entered the Realm of Power.
Isn't this also a way of leaving out a trump card?
After seeing Lao Huang leave, Lu Yuan immediately opened the system panel and began to check the results of his cultivation over the night.
