Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Even a Rabbit with Extraordinary Talents Can’t Kill a Tiger

Lu Xiao remained stunned for a while, "No such person?"

That wasn’t right. His master was from the Xuanyuan Clan; how could there be no record of him?

"You mean to say your master is from the Xuanyuan Clan, right?"

"Indeed, your master had grown up in the Xuanyuan Clan since he was a child, nominally, he is the brother of Xuanyuan Qiankun, but in reality, he was picked up by the Xuanyuan Clan."

"Who exactly your master is and where he comes from, no one knows."

"Also, another thing, what realm do you think your master is at?" Liuli Hong suddenly asked with solemnity.

Lu Xiao was somewhat puzzled. What realm was his master at?

"Peak of Transformation Realm," Lu Xiao responded subconsciously.

The old man had always wanted to break through to become a Heavenly Man, but he was always just a bit short.

Now that he was old, it seemed unlikely that he would have any hope left.

"Do you think a Peak of Transformation Realm could train you to become a Heavenly Man Third Rank at 23?" Liuli Hong sneered.

"Isn’t it because of my exceptional talent?"

Liuli Hong gently shook his head, "Lu Xiao, do you think a rabbit can win against a tiger?"

Lu Xiao: ???

"Then what do you think, a rabbit with exceptional talent, stronger than all other rabbits, can it win against a tiger?" Liuli Hong asked again.

Lu Xiao furrowed his brow; he roughly understood Liuli Hong’s point.

"You should know that any race, any talent, has its limits."

"Martial Arts has evolved over hundreds of years, and many are exceptionally talented and prodigious."

"But do you know, before you, how old was the youngest Heavenly Man in the entire history of Martial Arts?"

"47 years old!"

"The youngest Heavenly Man Second Rank was 59 years old, the youngest Heavenly Man Third Rank was 88 years old."

"So, do you still think it’s just because of your talent?"

After listening to Liuli Hong, Lu Xiao also fell silent.

Indeed, rabbits have their limits and so do humans with their innate abilities.

Even if he was a once-in-a-century genius, reaching Heavenly Man Third Rank at 23 seemed too preposterous and illogical.

"Actually... I have a theory," said Liuli Hong, suddenly looking up at the night sky, his eyes shimmering with flowing light.

"Perhaps, your master is indeed at the Peak of Transformation Realm, but he... might also be a Mutant, a Fourth-stage Mutant."

Lu Xiao’s mouth gradually opened. His master, a Fourth-stage Mutant?

Could that be possible?

"It’s just a theory, but there has to be a reason, right?" Lu Xiao looked at Liuli Hong.

"The reason is you," Liuli Hong smiled. "Haven’t you noticed? Your Inner Qi is not purely Inner Qi; the reason you suddenly reached Third-tier is entirely because of the energy emitted by that Mutated Crystal."

Lu Xiao’s mind was a bit muddled.

You previously said people from Hua Country couldn’t undergo Mutation, which implies they also can’t handle superpowers.

But now you’re saying I achieved Third-tier by relying on a superpower...

So to sum up, I, Lu Xiao, am not a person from Hua Country?

"You are legitimately a person from Hua Country, don’t question that."

"What I mean is, there might be some special method that allows us people from Hua Country to also harness superpowers."

"Your master discovered that method and integrated it into you."

"Of course, it’s just a theory."

"Whenever you see your master, try to ask him. It’s very important for the Seventeenth Bureau."

Lu Xiao paused briefly, "You can’t find my master? Isn’t he in the village where Ali came from?"

"He left, and now there’s no trace of him anywhere," sighed Liuli Hong.

Lu Xiao was speechless; the old man was something else, playing quite the trickster.

Previously he feigned death, now it’s playing missing, and most likely playing weak as well.

Peak of Transformation Realm... damn your Peak of Transformation Realm.

"Team leader, do you have a Mutated Crystal?" Lu Xiao suddenly asked Liuli Hong.

"Nope, what’s up?"

"If my body can handle superpowers, why don’t I try absorbing a crystal, maybe I’ll reach Fourth-tier straight away!" Lu Xiao said.

Liuli Hong exclaimed, then immediately took out his phone and called Goo Yuexing.

"Goo Yuexing, I’m giving you ten days to get me a Mutated Crystal."

"Can’t do it? Then what are you doing as the Director!"

"Don’t complain to me, it’s important!"

After speaking, Liuli Hong abruptly hung up the phone, then looked at Lu Xiao with an excited face.

He had not thought of it before, since Lu Xiao could absorb the dispersed energy from a Mutated Crystal to break through to the Third-tier, then he should also be able to continue absorbing energy to reach Fourth-tier.

This ability, so awesome!

At that moment, Lu Xiao was rather calm; he wasn’t in a hurry, as long as he could reach Fourth-tier before finding his master.

That way, he could really teach the old man a lesson!

Playing dead, playing weak, playing missing, huh, what a joke!

"Lu Xiao, you... are doomed," just as Lu Xiao and Liuli Hong were both pondering their future, a somber voice interrupted their thoughts.

Lu Xiao turned his head; a figure in black suddenly appeared outside the gazebo.

The two owls that had been perched on the railing immediately took flight, initiating live streaming mode.

Tia’s door also snapped open, and Tia ran out wearing her pajamas and slippers, all excited.

She had just heard about the Book Society’s gamblers pooling money to hire an assassin, and she hadn’t expected the assassin to arrive so quickly.

Was this the Night Demon, the legendary super-powered assassin?
