Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 141: The Bros All Went to the Enemy’s House

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Bros All Went to the Enemy’s House

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the center of the square.

Lu Xiao squinted towards the white-robed elder in the middle. This must be one of the Lu Family’s top brass, right?

Was it the Lu Family Head or one of the Lu Family elders?

Whatever, he’ll note them all down, time to die when the moment comes.

"Thank you, colleagues, for attending the exchange meeting at the Lu Family. I assume everyone has had their gains from this selection of outsiders?"

"Just right, this time our Lu Family also selected a decent one."

"Let’s stick to tradition and have these outsiders demonstrate first."

As he said that, the white-robed elder gestured with his hand.

A muscular man stepped forward from behind the Lu Family group and then stood by the side of the white-robed elder.

"Damn, what a build, fierce!"

"He’s not one of our own, is he?"

"Definitely not, must be one of those Old Maozi types."

"Looks like it too."

The crowd pointed at the muscular man and buzzed with discussion.

As for Lu Xiao, he was stunned.

My god, Similov!

This guy was chosen by the Lu Family?

The white-robed elder seemed quite pleased with everyone’s astonishment and smiled as he patted Similov on the shoulder, "This Similov indeed isn’t local, but his talent is quite remarkable."

"25 years old, Inner Strength Early Stage." The corners of the white-robed elder’s mouth curled up.

In the Goo Clan, 25 years old reaching the Inner Strength Early Stage wasn’t anything special.

But it’s different for those coming from the outside.

Outsiders don’t even have a method to break through the Body Barrier, achieving spontaneous breakthroughs was incredibly difficult.

Previously, there had also been spontaneous breakthroughs, and after arriving at the Goo Clan, all without exception surged in progress.

"The Lu Family struck gold this time," someone remarked.

"Those capable of spontaneous breakthroughs could reach Hua Jin in at most ten years."

"Man, why couldn’t our Qian Family get this lucky?"

"Stop it, our Sun Family chose three people this time, and all of them feel like duds."

The crowd launched into a lively discussion.

Lu Xiao was somewhat surprised as well, not expecting Similov to have broken through the Body Barrier.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Similov’s body had long been pushed to its limits, and his passion for wrestling with brown bears made it indeed more likely to shatter that barrier amidst life and death.

"Any challenger for Similov here?"

"If not, then this first place should rightfully be ours," the white-robed elder asked with a laugh.

The exchange meeting was divided into the first half and the second half.

The first half was for outsiders to spar and rank themselves.

Securing first place meant an extra twenty percent resources for the next year.

The second half was for the Goo Clan’s own talents to spar and rank as well.

Securing first place here meant an extra thirty percent resources for the next year.

So, both halves of the meeting were crucial for every clan involved.

"It’s just a spontaneous Body Barrier breakthrough, right? Sorry, our Situ Family just so happened to find someone as well," a voice snorted coldly from the crowd.

All eyes in the venue lit up with excitement.

"It’s starting, it’s starting!"

"Lu Family and Situ Family are at it again."

"After all these years, these two families really hate each other to the bone."

Listening to the chatter around him, Lu Xiao roughly understood why his parents were hunted down by the two families years ago.

The relationship between these two families was really bad.

"Arthur!" the Situ Family called out again.

Then, Lu Xiao saw Arthur, with his blond hair and blue eyes, walking out of the crowd with a smile.

Lu Xiao almost rolled his eyes to the heavens.

God damn it, Arthur’s here too!

He had been hoping to contact Arthur later to have him airdrop some bombs over.

Well, now that was out of the question.

Also, you two really had it— one joining the Lu Family, and the other joining the Situ Family. Both freaking enemies of mine...

In the center of the square, Similov also visibly paused for two seconds upon seeing Arthur.

But soon, a smile spread across Similov’s face before he fiercely gestured towards Arthur, "Birdman, come, let grandpa beat you to death!"

Arthur’s nickname was Heavenly Sword, but Similov thought it was too show-offy and always called him Heavenly Birdman.

After going back and forth, even the word Heavenly was dropped, ending up just as Birdman.

"Like I’m scared of you, beast? Bring it on!" Arthur roared and charged at Similov.

In the blink of an eye, the two were grappling with each other.

Fist to flesh, the thumping sounds echoed across the mountaintop.

The people of the Goo Clan were dumbfounded by this fighting style—just brawling?

Lu Xiao nearly laughed out loud; Arthur and Similov always fought like this, one standing on the left, the other on the right, just hammering away.

Whoever couldn’t hold out first, lost.
