106: Chapter 105: The Challenge of the War Zone_1 106: Chapter 105: The Challenge of the War Zone_1 Youthful charm paired in poetic thrill, silk canopies of spring nights express love without still.

Lu Chuan and Ning Xin’s research into human anatomy had reached profound depths, a seamless blending of wisdom, a resonance of souls.

Their academic discussions continued into the late night, and, exhausted, they both fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Lu Chuan woke up in a daze to find that the figure beside him had disappeared, leaving behind only a note.

He picked up the note and glanced over it.

It read, “I’m gone, this villa is yours now.

Don’t forget me!”

Lu Chuan scratched his head and reflected on the previous night’s madness, feeling a sense of absurdity.

But what was done was done, and since Ning Xin had returned to the Capital City from Cloud City, it wasn’t his place to say anything further.

“Another romantic debt incurred, could this really be related to my constitution?” Lu Chuan mocked himself with a smile, got dressed, tidied up the villa, and left.

Two days after Ning Xin left, Lu Chuan felt a faint sign of a breakthrough in his own realm.

The one-night adventure with Ning Xin brought him infinite benefits.

Not only did it delay the explosion of dragon’s yang power, but it also significantly enhanced his strength.

Now all he needed was the right medicinal herbs or a heaven and earth treasure to seize the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Given his current accumulation in the realm and combined with some powerful martial arts skills, he could even take on a newly advanced Grade 9 Grandmaster.

It was at this time that Wu Wei sent him a message, stating that he had broken through to the Grade 9 Grandmaster Realm and had solidified his position as the Family Head, ready to give him the agreed-upon stone at any time.

“Looks like I need to make a trip to Pingyang County,” Lu Chuan murmured.

At that moment, Mu Nanqing approached and said softly, “Xiaochuan, your sister-in-law wants to discuss something with you.”

Lu Chuan smiled and asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?”

Mu Nanqing explained, “The clinic has been doing quite well, especially since Jerry Pharmaceuticals’ downfall.

Our business has become more stable.

I’ve been a bit more free recently, so I was thinking of going back to my hometown to visit my parents.”

Lu Chuan cheerfully replied, “Sure, sister-in-law, where is your hometown?”

Mu Nanqing answered, “Pingyang County.”

Lu Chuan was stunned.

Mu Nanqing looked puzzled, “Xiaochuan, is there a problem?”

Lu Chuan suddenly said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, as it happens, I’m also planning to visit Pingyang County.

Since that’s the case, let’s go together.”

Mu Nanqing’s face showed surprise, “What a coincidence?”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Yes, I didn’t expect it either.”

Mu Nanqing was a bit skeptical, but soon she considered a possibility.

Could Xiaochuan want to accompany me back home on purpose?

Why does he want to go home with me?

Could it be that he wants to meet my parents?

At the thought, Mu Nanqing’s face flushed with color.

Seeing Mu Nanqing blush for no apparent reason, Lu Chuan asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Mu Nanqing quickly said, “Nothing…nothing at all.”

Lu Chuan suggested, “Then I’ll buy our tickets together, and I can accompany sister-in-law home for a few days before handling my own affairs.”

Mu Nanqing’s face lit up with joy, “That sounds great.”

“Shall we depart tomorrow?” asked Lu Chuan.

Mu Nanqing said shyly, “You…you decide, I’ll go pack.”

After saying that, she hurriedly left.

Lu Chuan, puzzled, thought to himself, “Strange, why do I feel like sister-in-law’s gaze towards me is a bit unusual?”

“Well, I better buy the tickets first.”

After buying the tickets, Lu Chuan prepared to do some cultivation.

At that moment, Zhou Siming came rushing over, “Lu Chuan, something’s wrong!”

Lu Chuan looked over and asked, “Old Zhou, what happened?”

Zhou Siming handed over a paper, “People from the war zone just arrived to issue you a challenge letter.

Being challenged by the war zone isn’t a minor matter; you had better take a look!”

Lu Chuan received the challenge letter and looked at its contents which merely stated the time and place without mentioning the reason for the challenge.

He turned to Zhou Siming and inquired, “Old Zhou, did the person delivering the challenge letter say why they want to challenge me?”

Zhou Siming hesitated for a moment before replying, “That person said they’ve never seen someone as arrogant as you.

They kindly invited you to join their ranks, but you showed no appreciation and even insulted all the leaders of the war zone.

Some in the war zone couldn’t accept it, so they issued you this challenge.”

“Lu Chuan, you really did wrong here.

Even if you don’t want to join the war zone, you shouldn’t have insulted its leaders.”

Lu Chuan was completely baffled and responded, “I did refuse the war zone’s invitation, but I never insulted any leaders.”

Zhou Siming was puzzled, “Then why would the person issuing the challenge say you insulted them, and quite disgracefully at that?

They claimed they approached you courteously, but you were incredibly arrogant, showing no respect at all.”

Lu Chuan spoke loudly in anger, “What a load of crap!

They were the ones who came to me all high and mighty.

When have I ever been arrogant with them?”

It didn’t take long for him to figure out what was really going on.

It must have been that foolish woman, Yu Xin, who, after being turned down by him, intentionally instigated her senior brother to go back and spread such lies!

Lu Chuan clenched his fists in fury.

If it were possible, he wished he could confront Yu Xin right now and give her a few hard slaps.

“This woman really knows how to add fuel to the fire.

How could Senior Yu, such a kind man, have such a daughter?”

Seeing this, Zhou Siming hurriedly comforted Lu Chuan, “If it’s not your fault, then you shouldn’t take it to heart.

It’s just a challenge letter; you can simply choose not to accept it.”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “No way, I can’t allow myself to be slandered for no reason.

I must seek justice for myself!”

He glanced at the time on the challenge letter—it was for tonight.

It wouldn’t interfere with tomorrow’s schedule.

Zhou Siming quickly urged, “Lu Chuan, the challenger is from the war zone.

Everyone there is a master.

If you really go, you’re going to suffer!”

Lu Chuan replied coldly, “What of the war zone?

Since I’ve been slandered, even the Emperor must apologize to me!”

The challenge was to take place at the Jiangbei war zone’s base in Cloud City.

Located in the suburbs, the place was somewhat remote, so Lu Chuan didn’t waste any time and headed straight for the base.

Meanwhile.

In the suburbs of Cloud City, at a military base.

Stationed here was none other than the renowned Dragon Soul Special Forces.

At the moment, on a training field, Ning Xin was chatting with Han Yunlei.

“Junior sister, do you really think that Lu Chuan will accept the challenge from the war zone?” Han Yunlei asked.

Ning Xin revealed a smug smile, “Rest assured, senior brother.

Lu Chuan is always so full of himself, and he cares a lot about his face.

Once he receives the challenge letter, he will definitely accept it.”

Han Yunlei nodded, “But if he really comes, what do we do if he explains that he didn’t curse at anyone?”

Ning Xin replied, “Senior brother, why are you so timid?

Now, who in the entire Dragon Soul doesn’t know how arrogant and haughty Lu Chuan is?

Even if he explains, who would listen?”

“The only way for him to prove his innocence now is to win this challenge.

But didn’t you say that the one challenging him is the captain of your first squad, someone even more formidable than Lew Qing?”

Han Yunlei said, “Indeed, Captain Wang Ting, although a Grade 7 Grandmaster like Lew Qing, is far superior in strength.

Lu Chuan had a hard time defeating Lew Qing; let alone defeating Captain Wang Ting.”

Excitement flashed across Ning Xin’s face as she said, “I can’t wait to see Lu Chuan get beaten up.

I kindly offered him a bright future, but he rejected it so foolishly.

Now he will realize how stupid his decision was!”

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

Lu Chuan arrived at the Dragon Soul Special Forces base.

When he approached the gate, two soldiers blocked his way.

“What’s your business here!” one of them demanded.

Lu Chuan threw the challenge letter in front of the two men and said coldly, “I’m here to accept the challenge!”

The two men glanced at the letter and immediately knew who he was.

One of them sneered at Lu Chuan, “So you’re Lu Chuan, huh?

Kid, you’re pretty arrogant!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “How so, just because I turned down your war zone’s invitation, I get labeled as arrogant?”

The other jeered, “It seems you really are quite arrogant, but today, the elites of Dragon Soul will teach you the consequences!”

“You wait here, I’ll go and report your arrival.”

Soon after, the man returned.

“Go in.

They are waiting for you at the training field.

Both our leader and deputy leader have gone there as well.

You’d better have some real skills, or else you’ll become the laughing stock of our entire war zone,” he said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Lu Chuan didn’t say anything and just walked inside.

At the training field, the soldiers of Dragon Soul Special Forces had already assembled, their presence formidable.

Lu Chuan walked towards the formation of the entire war zone alone, appearing somewhat small but neither humble nor arrogant, showing no trace of fear.

Ning Xin and Han Yunlei, mingling in the crowd, couldn’t help but laugh when they saw Lu Chuan coming.

“I told you this guy would definitely come.

There’s going to be a good show today.”

Han Yunlei nodded, “Just hope Captain Wang Ting can really defeat him.

If he accidentally loses, I might be punished.”

Ning Xin said, “Senior brother, why are you always diminishing your own prestige by boosting others’ courage?

Lu Chuan may be strong, but no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the elites of the war zone?

Don’t worry about it.”

Han Yunlei sighed, no longer speaking.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable feeling of unease, as his eyelids kept twitching.

Lu Chuan arrived at the very center of the formation, feeling the hostility from the entire Dragon Soul troop.

The oppressive sensation was intense; a normal person would have likely been scared witless by now.

But as a cultivator, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t be intimidated by such a display.

He knew all too well that in a place like the war zone, no one would give you a chance to speak if you didn’t show some strength.

So he wasn’t planning on wasting time.

He intended to deal with his challenger first before giving any explanations.

He looked around at everyone present and asked in a powerful voice, “Who wants to challenge me?”
