Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 47  White Haired Girl

Lu Zhen's expression twisted into one of pure disdain as he watched Xia Long's antics.

"Weakling," Lu Zhen's only word was that. Seeing Xia Long go through so much trouble just to lay with Xia Mei, Lu Zhen felt pure disgust. However, at least he was smart, seeing how he had planned everything so seamlessly. If Lu Zhen had not been around, Xia Long's plan might succeed, but that is an "if," and this has not happened since he was here.

Lu Zhen had always been a firm believer in the power of strength. In his view, strength could make everything fall into place, like gifts. That's why he had focused on his career before anything else, knowing that as long as he achieved success, he could attract any woman he desired with just a little effort. However, after his transmigration, he became a bit arrogant and decided to try something new by pursuing a girl. It turned out to be a disastrous endeavour, and things could have been even worse if he didn't have the strength to protect himself.

However, he never forgot his true pursuit: strength. He believed that as long as he continued on the path of strength, everything else would eventually fall into place. This had been his belief in the past, and it remained true for him now. He couldn't predict the future, but as long as he was Lu Zhen, he would never stray from the pursuit of strength.

Lu Zhen sneered as he was about to make a move but suddenly heard a voice transmission.

"Young master, should I kill him now?" Lu Zhen heard the voice of Yu Bai in his head.

Lu Zhen's eyes widened as he saw Yu Bai sleeping.

"Young master, I was awake previously. Our bloodline gives us better resistance to poison. Although it affected me a little, it didn't make me go to sleep." Lu Zhen heard this word, and he felt it was understandable. From the first time Lu Zhen had seen the form of Yu Bai, he was 50% sure that he could defeat some ordinary second-stage martial artist. So it shouldn't have affected Yu Bai as much.

"Let's kill him now," Lu Zhen sent a voice transmission to Yu Bai, as there was nothing to watch now.

Xia Long, who was still not aware of his doom, was going towards Yu Bai.

Lu Zhen was about to speed off to kill Xia Long in one strike; however, he felt something that sent shivers down his spine as his instinct acted up warning him about something he looked left and right but he couldn't find anything making him confused.

The moment he was looking for the danger that his senses tingle with danger he suddenly felt an icy-cold hand rest on his shoulder, and a sudden chill swept over him. It was a sensation he couldn't ignore.

"Brother, brother, can you please give me some candy?" The voice was childlike, innocent, and carefree, echoing in Lu Zhen's ears. However, Lu Zhen frowned upon hearing the voice. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The moment he turned around, he saw a little girl with a white kimono on her body with white hair. With an innocent smile that a child has, she was smiling.

The kimono was a little ragged, and the girl was a little dirty, but she appeared quite clean. She was holding a bag in her hand which was ragged and torn.

However, the moment Lu Zhen saw the girl's eyes, his frown deepened. The girl's eyes were pitch black. As Lu Zhen attempted to maintain eye contact, he began to feel a bit dizzy and overwhelmed. It was almost as if the girl's pitch-black eyes were trying to invade his mind, hypnotizing him and making him feel drowsy.

However, ignoring the feeling, Lu Zhen remained silent as he just stared at the girl for a moment, and his frown intensified.

"Big brother, please give me some candy," the child said again as she extended a bag which she was holding with lots of candy.

Lu Zhen remained emotionless as he stared at her.

"Oh so you want some candy."

In an instant, Lu Zhen sneered and, without a second thought, swung a punch at the girl's face.

Lu Zhen was expecting some resistance; however, the punch cleanly connected with the girl's face in a second as she was sent flying.

Her body, like a ragged doll, was sent flying to the walls of the cave.

A dong sound resounded as the girl crashed into the wall.

Lu Zhen was quite shocked seeing this as he looked at his hands. He had full-powered punch the girl, but it felt like he was hitting the air, as his punch couldn't connect properly for some reason. This was barely 1% of his power; if it was 100%, the girl would have burst like a balloon.

However, that was not the reason he was shocked. The reason he was shocked was that the girl felt normal to him, like an ordinary girl, except for the damage reduction. Lu Zhen felt that the girl was totally ordinary.

He wasn't stupid; there was no way an ordinary person can sneak up behind him without him even noticing, even as he was on high alert, and his five senses were superhuman. There was no absolute way that anyone could sneak up on him, and she was a little girl no less. So without a shred of hesitation, Lu Zhen punched the girl in the face.

"So what is this girl about?" Lu Zhen thought as he tried to search in his memories for a phenomenon which was quite similar to it. However, he couldn't find anything similar.

At a loss, Lu Zhen simply gave up.

"Oh well, she is dead anyway," Lu Zhen said as he was again going to attack Xia Long. However, suddenly his vision blurred for a second before he could even comprehend the situation. He once again saw the girl in front of him, still there with the same get-up.

"Big brother, can you give me some candy?" the girl said again in her same voice as previously.
