Spare Me, Great Lord!

Panda Novel

“Have you heard?” A student in the 3-2 classroom suddenly asked. “Cao Qingci, like Jiang Shuyi, didn’t go for the training. She disappeared.”

Ye Lingling was most concerned about this gossip. She held a bag of Lonely God¹ and asked as she ate, “Could it be that she participated in the training too, just that no one saw her?”

“That’s not possible. The military trucks left two days ago. I saw her at Jiandong Market yesterday afternoon. But her classmates said that she has not been attending lessons,” explained the student. “Wasn’t there someone in the group last night who discussed about why Cao Qingci did not attend the training?”

“Maybe she had gone to complete missions,” Ye Lingling said after some thought. She suddenly asked, “Then Lu Shu…”

“Lower your voice.” The student looked in Lu Shu’s direction. “Lu Shu didn’t make it, unlike Cao Qingci. Don’t talk about these kinds of things in front of him. Judging from his current state, he is probably feeling down.”

Lu Shu had a history textbook in his hands. He flipped to a new page every half a minute. His eyes quickly glanced through the words. He was reviewing and still reviewing all the content since the start of high school.

His pace was just too fast. In his classmates’ eyes, he seemed to be carelessly flipping through the book. But Lu Shu’s memory was outstanding. He knew all the content, now, he was simply going through it one more time.

Lu Shu was always a well-performing student. If there was no resurgence of supernatural influences, then from Lu Shu’s serious attitude, he could achieve success in other domains as well.

Ye Lingling could not stand it anymore. “Lu Shu, are you planning to repeat a year and take the Cultivation College admission test or…”

Lu Shu looked at her calmly. “I don’t want to talk to someone with less than 640 marks.”

Ye Lingling was dumbfounded.

“From Ye Lingling’s distress, +999!”

“From…”

The classroom was silent for a whole two seconds. Everyone was dumbfounded. It was as if they had returned to before the increase in magical energy, when they feared Lu Shu and his test scores…

They suddenly realized one problem. Lu Shu was only planning to get into a normal university. They could not just spread gossip about him!

But Lu Shu did not care about all these. After all, they were no longer in the same world.

The four words “increase in magical energy” was like the sharpest sword that had split their lives apart into two halves.

His classmates were still doing their best for the Final Graduation Exam and for their ordinary lives. On the other hand, Lu Shu was destined to walk the difficult road of a Practitioner.

If Lu Shu told his classmates how many people he had killed, it would probably make them fear him greatly.

He was different from the likes of Liu Li. Lu Shu’s hands had been stained with blood, the path of a Practitioner was paved with dead bodies.

Now, there were many puzzles regarding the death of Takashima Tairatsu. Those who were there remained tight lipped about the situation. Even if the Conservatives asked Sakurai Yaeko, she still kept it a secret.

But when spies from the respective organizations came to the base to have a look, there was a common point across all the information they had brought back. Takashima had used the blood sacrifice to forcibly increase his abilities. The fact that he did not create a Heavenly Vision of ten kilometers’ radius meant that he did not successfully advance to Class A. But everyone guessed that even though he was not a Class A, he probably had the power of a top Class B, or even higher.

So, who killed Takashima in the end?

The identity of this person was the biggest secret that the whole world had their eyes on.

The likes of Ye Lingling would never think that this young man could become one of the most dazzling people in this world, if only he had revealed that he was the one who killed Takashima, or accepted Nie Ting’s good intentions to become a Heavenly King.

But such a person was now perfectly happy to sit in the classroom and study.

Ye Lingling could not understand and neither could Nie Ting. On the other hand, Shi Xuejin laughed until he could not speak.

When school ended at night, Lu Shu quickly left the classroom, as if he had regained his role as an aloof character. When his classmates walked out of the classroom, he was already at the school gates. Ye Lingling saw Lu Shu’s figure from the corridor and suddenly shouted, “Look!”

Everyone turned to look. But they realised that Lu Shu was just talking to Xi Fei, the current person in charge of the Daoyuan Class. One student was uncertain. “Look at what? The two of them certainly know each other.”

Ye Lingling was slightly uncertain too. “I think I saw Xi Fei actively saluting Lu Shu… I might have misinterpreted it.”

Li Yixiao’s current whereabouts were unknown. Thus, Xi Fei was now in charge of Luo City. Everyone’s impression of Xi Fei was that he held the most impressive position in the Luo City Branch of Heavenly Network.

Xi Fei laughed and asked, “Major Lu Shu, are you going home?” He did not know that Lu Shu had been promoted to Captain. Although this was not a secret, Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin did not reveal this to the rest.

Lu Shu laughed. “Aren’t I a member of the security formation? I was planning to patrol this area to see if any Practitioners have violated the law.”

Xi Fei opened his mouth to speak but stopped. He suddenly had an unpleasant premonition. Was Lu Shu going to conduct mischief? There was no need for Lu Shu to patrol now. Xi Fei felt that as long as Lu Shu went to school and came back properly, then public order would be maintained…

“Go do what you have to do. I’ll take my leave.” Lu Shu did not speak much to Xi Fei. He rushed for the public bus without looking back.

Little Fury had helped him to find a strange place. It was still within Wen Wan City, but there seemed to be something hidden behind the iron gates at the back.

Little Fury’s rats had seen the presence of Practitioners or Metahumans among the people who entered and exited. It was just that the defenses were so strict that even rats could not get in.

Lu Shu had planned to go and see what was actually there. He was not worried about the possibility of him falling into a dangerous spot. In Luo City, he had no enemies in the Heavenly Network, let alone this kind of hidden black market.

He walked to the gates of Wen Wan City. There were no normal customers at night. There were no street lamps inside either, his surroundings were pitch black.

Lu Shu often saw people sporadically walk in and out. Those who walked out all suspiciously looked Lu Shu up and down before hurriedly leaving.

Lu Shu walked in. As he passed by the shadow of the eaves, he had changed his appearance to look like Gao Shenyin.

Lu Shu had wanted to use Chen Zuan’s appearance, but he could not feign his fat face…

He walked all the way in and saw iron gates that were shut tight. A faint ray of light leaked through the crevice in the door, and there were sounds of people talking.
