Chapter 392: Association of Unaffiliated Practitioners
Unlike Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu could understand him without the need for translation software.
To the speaker, the demonstration was merely an addition to his already perfect speech as he never expected anyone would be able to rip eight strands of steel cable apart, which could bear weight of up to four-thousand kilograms.
Even if anyone could, he would not be wasting his time here listening to his speech.
Lu Shu pondered, it would not be very nice of him to ruin the speakerâs laudable efforts thus far. Apparently, the man had taken his own interest into consideration in uniting the individual Practitioners and those willing to join were likely to be short of manpower and resources themselves. In the merit-based large organizations, they might not be able to enjoy many benefits and that was where entrepreneurship came into play.
In general, each one of them had their own agendas. Thus, how could he spoil the moodâŠ
Following this thought, Lu Shu did not hold out his hand for the cable, which was wrongly interpreted by the speak as a lack of confidence. The latter insisted and smiled, âDonât be shy, brother. Just give it a try and see whether we can break it. It is not just a steel cable, but to let you experience the strength of unityâŠâ
As Lu Shu started applying his force, one strand ruptured with a crackâŠ
âFrom Simon Bakerâs distress, +666âŠâ
Before the rest could react, there was another round of incessant cracking sounds.
It was even easier to break the remaining strands after the first. Under the immense pulling strength, the entire bundle was fractured apart!
âFrom Simon Bakerâs distress, +999âŠâ
Simon was petrified. Could you please return to your bloody seat, judge?!
All of the members of his audience were in shock by the display of strength as well.
âFrom Davidâs distress, +333âŠâ
Lu Shu felt sorry for the lame reference. However, being a market spoiler was⊠awesomeâŠ
Honestly, he felt guilty for his actions. The fantasy that a union of low-level individual Practitioners could contend with established organizations for resources boiled down to their inability to excel in reality. As a result, they would rather fool themselves with such blatant lies than to accept their own weaknesses.
But Lu Shu had shattered their dreams with his sheer strengthâŠ
Even he himself thought it was too muchâŠ
Everyone stared at Lu Shu in a mixed feeling of disbelief and irritation, with the urge to beat him up but no courage to do so. They knew fully well that the young man had a clear advantage in physical strength over themâŠ
But which expert would hide themselves in such an idle crowd? Did you not have better things to do?!
There was grief and indignation tooâŠ
Besides being suppressed by other powerful organizations, their ambition of forming a team on their own had been trashed by an expert too⊠Do not push us too hard!
Lu Shu wanted to apologize, but deemed it inappropriate to portray the Chinese in such an unfriendly light. At the very least, he was representing the image of China overseas!
It was then that his profound knowledge came into play. Why did he study so hard for and for so long? Was it to realize his childhood dream to be a scientist? Of course notâŠ
Then, Lu Shu bowed ninety degrees like a Japanese, âGomen-nasai.â
Normally, in Japanese, 'sorryâ could be translated as 'sumimasenâ, but a more sincere version was âgomen-nasaiââŠ
And Lu Shu was being very genuineâŠ
Then, Lu Shu immediately left the place. After he returned to Lu Xiaoyu, not only did he take off his cap and mask, he also changed into a new set of clothesâŠ
With more Practitioners arriving in Koh Chang, the beach was now crowded with people, with some in swimsuits. If you took a look around, you would see mostly Caucasians.
Lu Xiaoyu glanced over at Lu Shu, her head tilted, âWhat did you do over there?â
Lu Shu put on a dramatic face, âTo preach my life philosophies. You see, there are so many people in the world awaiting enlightenmentâŠâ
âJust say you went over there to be an idiot. Donât be so pompousâŠâ
Just a while ago, thousands of distress points were clocked in. Despite the thirst for more, Lu Shu was unable to evoke such a huge wave of animosity yetâŠ
Lu Xiaoyu replied calmly, âIt is preparation time now. Shouldnât we do our best to unite as many forces as we can? Or at the very least, to avoid any conflicts at all cost? Only then can we spare more time for the resources inside.â
Lu Shu paused for a second, âYou are a genius, Xiaoyu!â
âOf course!â Lu Xiaoyuâs eyes were twinkling.
The next instant, Lu Shu ran to the beach in search of unions. Currently, the unaffiliated Practitioners were also copying one another and trying to form teams, so that they might have more helpers in the remains.
Meanwhile, being utterly shameless, Lu Shu was trying to join every team he saw using his clumsy English.
Moreover, as a self-proclaimed Class E strength-type Metahuman, in spite of his average capabilities, his skills type added much value to his identity. Thus, he managed to join most groups he applied toâŠ
Speaking of which, almost half of the individual Practitioners on the beach had become his teammates nowâŠ
It was estimated that all would arrive at Koh Chang from Pattaya by night.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly ran into a Chinese group. To his surprise, he saw the ferry girl whom he met upon their arrival in Thailand. She had tied her hair up, looking neat and brisk. Moreover, she was the leader of the team.
The girl also froze for a second upon seeing Lu Shu, she was obviously able to recognize him, âDo you want to join us? What class are you?â
âIâm a strength-type Metahuman of Class E!â Lu Shu grinned.

There was not much reaction in her group. Although Class Eâs were considered rather remarkable among unaffiliated Practitioners, this team was formed by elites and accepted no one below Class D and non-Chinese practitioners. To them, underperforming members might drag down the productivity of the entire group.
However, the girl smiled after pondering for a few seconds, âWelcome, our new member. As Chinese people, we should help one another. My name is Meng Jingchan, taking reference from âzen (Chinese character âchanâ) belongs to him who finds peace (opposite to Chinese âjingâ) in griefâ. How about you?â
âBravo, hello!â Lu Shu had never paid much attention to the meaning behind his name! Thus, he mused for a long moment before replying, âMy name is Lu Mu, because the fortuneteller once said I lack wood (Chinese character âmuâ) in my five elements*âŠâ
*Five elements refer to metals, wood, water, fire and earth, a theory held by ancient Chinese to make up the physical universe and was also used for fortune telling purposes.
