Level Up in Martial World

327  Meeting People

Lu Zhen looked around his body and couldn't find anything, but there was definitely a force that was disrupting his power from being used, making both his plant Qi and intent on his body unstable.

He tightened his fist, frowned, and looked around the forest again.

"What should I do?"

If Lu Zhen had the confidence to get out of this forest by flying away now that he was on foot, the difficulty increased exponentially.

From what he glimpsed of the forest when he was flying, this forest was unimaginably vast, and there might be dangers in it as well that could even threaten him.

"I guess I will study this unknown force while travelling…" Lu Zhen muttered bitterly in his heart as he slowly started to walk, gradually picking up his pace.

In the end, his speed became so blurry that even his tall figure was only a blur that could barely be seen.

While doing so, Lu Zhen also tried to comprehend the Qi pattern on the kunai that he had.

Luckily, his comprehension allowed him to do so effortlessly. While he studied the unknown force in his body, he also comprehended the Qi pattern.

Just like this, Lu Zhen travelled at his top speed, whizzing through the forest for three days almost continuously.

He fought some second-stage martial beasts along the way, which he effortlessly destroyed in mere moments. However, Lu Zhen could only helplessly avoid the first-stage martial beast using his sixth sense: Mental Energy, because without his Intent, although he could definitely contend with a first-stage martial beast, killing it was a different matter.

Mental Power was the power that was hidden in his brain, which Lu Zhen could barely access while he was a third-stage martial artist. However, now that he has become a first-stage martial artist, his power has rapidly increased and strengthened, growing stronger by the moment.

The access to the Mental Power for Lu Zhen has also become terrifying enough for him to have telekinetic power to lift light objects and sense danger from far away. However, this telekinetic power was not really useful in his fights, and he never had the ability to use it.

Lu Zhen travelled aimlessly in the forest again, with his mind on three things at the same time.

At this time, his almost dazed eyes seemed to snap out as he looked in a certain direction.

"Hmm?"

The corner of Lu Zhen's lips curled into a smile as he shot towards the direction. "Finally, some humans."

In an instant, he reached the place, hiding in one of the bushes while minimising his presence to the limits with his Aura turning into the same as a bush.

This was quite easily accomplished as Lu Zhen could manipulate his aura using his system skill. Even without it, minimising his aura was possible, but turning his aura into a bush was absolutely not possible.

Now, even a first-stage martial artist would find it difficult to find Lu Zhen, especially since he has the Mental Power comparable or even greater than that of a first-stage martial artist, making it impossible for the other party to sense him, not to mention his aura was that of the bush.

With that said, Lu Zhen peeked his head out of the bush and immediately squinted his eyes.

"Camp?"

The first thing he saw was a campfire that burned almost reaching the height of a person. It was already time for the sun to dawn and the moon to grace its presence on the earth.

"Hmm?" Lu Zhen watched silently.

There were numerous people around the campfire, slowly eating their food silently with grave expressions on their faces.

The people around the campfire could basically be divided into two groups: one being people who wore silver gears and had grave expressions on their faces, while the other group had torn and ragged clothes and were eating their poor meal.

Some of the people who were wearing torn and poor clothes seemed to have a grave expression, while some seemed clueless and free.

"Interesting," as Lu Zhen heard the soft murmurs of the crowd, gradually a level of understanding appeared in his mind as he could basically draw a conclusion from them.

"Should I travel with them or not?"

He touched his chin, still in thought, before he looked towards them and seemed to have made a decision in his head already.

Lu Zhen immediately smeared some dirt on his face, trying to conceal his handsome face, but even through the dirt, he couldn't hide his handsomeness at all.

"Will this really do?"

He touched his smeared face with a frown. His clothes were already torn and extremely haggard.

It would be an exaggeration to say that he didn't look like a beggar… Well, a handsome and tall beggar.

With this thought, Lu Zhen made a slant palm and used his slash to act like a sword, inscribing the principles of the sword to "slash" his arms and shoulder.

Immediately, a little blood splattered on the ground as his shoulder slightly dislocated. Although Lu Zhen could heal this almost instantly, he didn't want to.

His steps grew slightly haggard and flustered as he ran out of the bush, slowly approaching the camp.

"Is there a camp here?" Lu Zhen shouted with a clueless grin, staring at the campfire.

His face beamed with joy, and he even started dancing.

A strange silence immediately fell over the camp as everyone turned to Ray with wary eyes.

"Who are you?" One of the leading soldiers barked, his expression fierce, drawing his curved sword and pointing it at Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen, however, seemed completely oblivious, slowly approaching the campfire and extending his hands to warm them by the flames.

"Finally, some relief from the cold," he laughed, sounding almost crazy with haggard hair and bulky body even with his aura minimised to the extreme, it still made the people around cower. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You're going to die, you bastard!" The soldier tightened his grip on the sword and swung it toward Lu Zhen.

"Wait!"
