Chapter 23: Although a bit old
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
ā€œHaha, this isnā€™t me. Itā€™s just a copy made from my soul, sort of like a clone,ā€ Nangong Jing heard Lu Zeā€™s confusion and explained.
ā€œCome, since the computer chose me as your opponent, it means youā€™re quite strong. At least you have some potential. Let me see your power.ā€
Rumble!
Nangong Jing didnā€™t waste any time. Her small body exploded with powerful white light as she charged at Lu Ze.
Lu Zeā€™s eyes went cold. He was calm. Since he couldnā€™t beat her in terms of speed and power, he would have to beat her in experience.
The instant Nangong Jing charged over, Lu Ze turned to the side as though predicting her attack and dodged it. At the same time, he punched with his right fist towards her waist.
ā€œHeheā€¦ youā€™re a bit old and your cultivation level is a bit low, but your battle consciousness isnā€™t bad.ā€ Nangong Jing smiled as she raised her small hand to stop Lu Zeā€™s attack. Just when she wanted to grab his hand and counter-attack, Lu Ze retreated back a few meters.
ā€œOldā€¦ a bit old?!ā€ Lu Zeā€™s face turned green upon hearing this, ā€œIā€™m only 18, okay?! Iā€™m like the sun at 8 am. How am I old?!ā€
ā€œThe current me is only 12.ā€ Nangong Jing raised her flat chest and smiled ā€œYouā€™re six years older than me; a third older than me. Arenā€™t you old?ā€
Lu Ze, ā€œā€¦ā€
Lu Zeā€™s mouth spasmed. This girl was too right. There was nothing he could say.
Nangong Jing looked at Lu Zeā€™s lifeless expression and waved her hand, ā€œItā€™s fine, youā€™re not that bad. Weā€™re both level five, but you can dodge my casual attacks; youā€™re already a prodigy.ā€
ā€œā€¦Casual attacks?ā€ Lu Zeā€™s eyes narrowed.
The people watching the live broadcast were blown away. Such attacks were only casual attacks? Level nine martial warriors might not even be able to take it.
Most importantly, they were the same age as Lu Ze. Didnā€™t this mean that they were all old?!
Shit!
Only the teachers knew that Nangong Jing wasnā€™t bluffing. She wasnā€™t fighting seriously.
ā€œDo you want to see my serious punch?ā€ Nangong Jing put her hand on her waist as she raised her thumb to Lu Ze. There was a happy smile on her face.
Lu Zeā€™s eyes focused and he nodded, ā€œLet me see!ā€
He wanted to see how big the difference between him and the human raceā€™s prodigy really was!
ā€œHehe, then watch carefully!ā€ Nangong Jing laughed and moved into a stance, ā€œOne level burst.ā€
Before the punch even came out, Lu Zeā€™s pupils dilated. The hairs on his back rose, his muscles were all tensed up and sweat drenched his clothes.
He was all too familiar with this feeling.
It was the feeling of facing imminent death.
Rumble!
The little fist flew out without using spirit chi. It was purely physical power, but it still tore open the air. A deep ravine appeared on the ground, created solely by the fistā€™s force.
The entire stage was rumbling.
He couldnā€™t dodge it.
Lu Ze looked at the nearing fist force and could only grit his teeth and block his chest with his hands.
As soon as the fist force touched his arm, an extremely terrifying power rushed into his body. He couldnā€™t block it at all.
The sound of bones cracking rang out. Lu Ze flew across the air and landed tens of meters later.
ā€œOh yea! You didnā€™t even die from my serious punchā€¦ Perhaps we will meet in the future?ā€ Nangong Jingā€™s voice sounded out.
ā€œYouā€™ve passed this level.ā€ Nangong Jing walked up to Lu Ze and squatted down, poking his face with her finger, ā€œThere arenā€™t many in the martial warrior state that can take my serious punch and not die.ā€
Lu Ze smiled helplessly, ā€œStill a bit weak.ā€
Nangong Jing heard this and zone out. However, she soon recovered and smiled, ā€œYea, still a bit weak indeed. This sort of power canā€™t do much for the human race.ā€
ā€œDo what for the human race?ā€ Lu Ze was confused.
He had never thought about it as it was too far away for him.
However, the universe was too chaotic. Someone like Nangong Jing would become a powerful being and protect the entire human race, right?
He didnā€™t expect a 12-year-old little girl to have such ideals. It reallyā€¦
He lost quite hard.
ā€œOkay, seeing as how you canā€™t fight anymore, you finished six levels at 18 years old. Thatā€™s average, but not too bad! Iā€™m going now. The computer will probably send you out soon.ā€
Soon after Nangong Jing said this, her body slowly disappeared.
Meanwhile, Lu Zeā€™s eyes blurred as he arrived back in reality.
Nangong Jing, was it?
Lu Ze felt that this name was very familiar, but he just couldnā€™t remember where he heard it from.
However, his bloated mentality due to progressing so fast was crushed by those little fists. He should thank her for that.
Next time, he wanted to fight with the real her!
Lu Ze sighed and left the pod.
The virtual reality classroom was quiet. Everyone strangely looked at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze looked at everyone in a daze. Why were they looking at him like this?
Did they finally realize his deep and morose temperament hid some unknown handsomeness?
What if some girl confessed their love to him? What would he do?
ā€œCongratulations, Lu Ze,ā€ Xufang Zhenxizi, Leo and Xu Yang quickly made their way over as Xufang spoke with a red face.
ā€œCongratulations? On what?ā€ Lu Ze asked.
ā€œCongratulations on passing level six. Youā€™re probably ranked first.ā€ Xufang pointed at the screen that displayed the rankings. Lu Ze was first.
The second place was only 30% damage at level five. The difference was huge.
However, the two level nine martial warriors, Ren Zhan and Lin Huan, hadnā€™t come out yet. The results were still uncertain.
ā€œThank you.ā€ Lu Ze smiled.
ā€œMhm, ummā€¦ā€ Xufang hesitated.
Lu Ze felt confused and then his eyes flashed as he smiled, ā€œWhatā€™s up? Weā€™re classmates; Iā€™ll help you with whatever I can.ā€
Xufang felt dazed and then breathed easy, ā€œNothingā€¦ good luck on the final exam!ā€

ā€œMhm!ā€ Lu Ze nodded.
Xu Yang strangely looked at the two and smiled bitterly, ā€œPreviously, I considered you as an opponent. However, it seems that I overestimated myself.ā€
Leo scratched his head, ā€œEven in terms of power, I canā€™t beat Lu Ze. Not going to fight himā€¦ā€
Then, the four started discussing some troubles with martial techniques. Lu Ze didnā€™t keep anything from them and taught them bit by bit. This made the three very excited. If they digested all of this knowledge, their power would increase a level once again.
Soon, Ren Zhan and Lin Huan came out too.
