Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 1548 - 1550: Spirit Stone or Snack?
Bao Wu gradually calmed down, and his thoughts became clearer.
The first thing he did was to conceal Lu Xiaobu’s data. These things must be kept secret.
Though Bao Wu looked a bit simple-minded, he handled things methodically.
Soon, he sorted everything out.
"You can go back now," Bao Wu said to Lu Xiaobu. "Focus on your cultivation. I won’t intervene in your relationship and dealings with the principal. Just focus on cultivating; I’ll handle everything else!"
At this point, he thought about it again. "Oh, you don’t have a cultivation technique yet, do you? Don’t worry; I’ll get one for you. Although there is a technique specifically for Divine Bodies, there’s no technique for the Five Elements Divine Body."
"Why not also give me a book of it?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrow and said.
He can upgrade, after all!
After upgrading, he’ll be able to use it!
"Alright, I’ll get them all for you as references. Maybe it’ll work wonders. Even if it doesn’t, focusing on one should be fine!" Bao Wu nodded.
As long as the cultivation technique isn’t the final copy without continuation, the differences may exist but aren’t significant.
So, actually, if Lu Xiaobu masters a cultivation technique specifically for Divine Bodies, the difference won’t be much!
"I’ll be off then." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
"By the way, there’s one more thing. Someone might give you trouble. Don’t worry about who it is; give them a good beating, and I’ll handle the rest!" Bao Wu said coldly.
"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrow, amused.
He thought Bao Wu would advise him to lay low, but instead he’s told to fight back.
Alright, this suits his taste!
...
Lu Xiaobu returned to the gathering place for the Violent Martial Arts Class.
As soon as he entered, the scene fell silent.
That’s how the Violent Martial Arts Class is: power is respected, and whoever has the greater punch is the boss.
Thus, the former leader stepped forward: "From today, you are the leader of the Violent Martial Class. We’ll step down accordingly. I am second, the second becomes third..."
His words were interrupted halfway by Lu Xiaobu.
"Wait a minute." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Don’t you think this is troublesome?"
"But we’ve always been like this!" The former leader of the Violent Martial Class was taken aback.
"Let’s change that starting now." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Your order of rank stays the same, but I’m changing how I call you. I’ll call you, A Da, A Er, A San, Lao Si, Lao Wu, and so on. How’s that?!"
Everyone heard this, exchanged glances, and nodded.
Alright, you’re the big boss, it’s your call!
"But, what should we call you?" A San asked quietly.
"Call me Young Master." Lu Xiaobu said naturally.
"Uh..." Everyone laughed bitterly.
"What, you don’t want to?!" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrow.
"How should I put it? Calling you ’Young Master’ makes us seem like servants," A Da said with a bitter smile. "Can we choose another name?"
"No." Lu Xiaobu stated firmly. "Any more questions?!"
"Pfft!"
Everyone spat blood. What other questions could there be?!
We might have questions, but you won’t accept them, then what more can we say?!
"Good, if there’s no problem, let’s hear it." Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
"Young Master!"
Regardless of their willingness, everyone still called out.
That’s how the Violent Martial Class is; unless you can beat someone, even if they want you to call them Dad, you’d have to obediently comply.
"Awesome!"
Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, feeling immensely proud.
"By the way, A Da, Bao Wu said someone would give me trouble, what’s up with that?" Lu Xiaobu asked again.
"Oh, it must be the usual trouble seeking," A Da thought for a moment and said, "Because of the special nature of our Violent Martial Arts Class, every time a newcomer joins, people always want to bully our newcomer a bit."
"Is this a custom?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrow. "That’s quite a peculiar custom."
"Consider it a custom; I don’t really know what’s going on, but it’s always been like that!" A Da said with a bitter smile.
When he first joined the Violent Martial Arts Class, he also found it odd, but over time he got used to it and didn’t bother seeking the true cause anymore.
"Let’s go then." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said.
"Where to?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Instead of waiting for them to trouble us, why don’t we go trouble them?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled and said, "After all, it’s all the same inside out."
"Uh..." A Da was taken aback, and the rest were also surprised.
Is this even possible?!
"Come on, follow along." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly and took the lead.
"Alright," everyone sighed with a bitter smile and had no choice but to follow.
Lu Xiaobu strolled casually in front. He realized this school may have rules, but they aren’t that important.
Ultimately, it’s about who has the bigger punch. If you have enough power, you can break rules, even change rules.
It’s probably the school’s way of fostering competition among students!
While walking, Lu Xiaobu asked, "By the way, what purpose do spirit stones serve?"
He remembered that the Jiang Family and Wu Family from Linren City had given him some spirit stones.
"Spirit stones? They’re the currency in the cultivation world and also a source of energy." A San explained, "Normally, we absorb nature’s spiritual energy to cultivate, but absorbing the energy from spirit stones is much faster."
"Oh, I see." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
While speaking, he took out a spirit stone from his pocket and held it in his hand.
He didn’t put much effort into it, yet the spirit stone grew dim rapidly, as waves of energy flooded into Lu Xiaobu’s body.
"What the heck! Is it this exhilarating?" Lu Xiaobu’s eyebrows shot up, feeling immensely excited.
Honestly, he didn’t know why, but when the energy from the spirit stone surged into his body, every cell seemed to be cheering, and his whole body emitted an incredibly excited sensation.
This feeling is really a bit like being high.
So that’s how it is.
Lu Xiaobu understood; he finally understood why martial artists on Earth gradually declined, while cultivators here flourished to greater heights.
There might be countless reasons, but the simplest is that martial artists on Earth find cultivation exhausting and tough; it requires physical training and strengthening.
But here?
It’s not only not exhausting, but exhilarating!
Think about it, if it were you, both getting stronger and feeling great, wouldn’t you do it?!
Definitely! A hundred thousand percent yes!
Therefore, Lu Xiaobu decided that not only would he seek trouble this time, but he’d also rob!
Because, in just this short period of time, the two spirit stones given to him by the Jiang Family were already consumed!
What the heck is this stone? It’s like candy!
