BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 The Carefree Master
YANG LUJIA CAME up to the arena and stood in the middle of the array formation. The moment the array formation shone, the people were terror-stricken, especially the God Emperors on the platform.
Even the Guile Magus Academy Headmaster’s eyes showed interest in what was happening.
“What’s happening?” Yang Lujia himself didn’t know what to do. “Why is the array formation having such an abnormal reaction?”
Sighing, Yang Lujia realized the people’s reactions. Somewhat, he loved such a sight. To stimulate the tension further, he suddenly released his aura as a God Emperor.
With rules flowing through the air that only he could see (besides Feng Huang and Brownie), the people in the arena were terrified by the atmosphere alone. It even startled the God Emperors. The waves of sound flowed through the air as it made their hearts thump.
“This…” Wang Zhu still couldn’t understand. It was only until this moment when Wang Lao understood what his brother meant by the terrifying cultivation this young man possessed.
Even they, the group of God Emperors, were slightly oppressed. Although Yang Lujia only showed the aura of a God Emperor, like his disciples, he could also cross-level fight. He himself could surmise that he might be able to kill any God Emperor with just a strike.
“Okay, this is enough,” Yang Lujia said as his face darkened. He really wanted to show off, but the stares of the people made him feel uneasy as time went by. Perhaps it was because it had already been several years since he had shown himself to the world. He got really used to being low profile..
Previously, on Earth, he was as classy and show-off as this. However, since coming to this world, he knew he had to keep a low profile. The reason was simply that he didn’t want his actions to backfire on him, just like what happened when he got killed in a plane bombing after gaining the jealousy or envy of his so-called friends.
And at this time, he did it yet again.
Soon enough, the whole arena trembled and the whole floor started to crack. Seeing this, Wang Lao couldn’t help but shudder in fright. This was bestowed upon them by the Central Domain’s City Palace Lord!
If something like this would break, how would he be able to explain it to that existence?!
When Yang Lujia noticed that he had forgotten to suppress his aura, he quickly retracted it. A pin drop rang in everyone’s ears. Even Lin Diyu dumbly stared at his master in the arena. His master, although strange at times, was incredibly strong! No wonder his master said he was invincible in Da Sishen.
Essentially, the master was telling him the truth.
However, thinking about his master’s cautious personality, he knew that perhaps this God Emperor aura of his master was only a façade of his even greater cultivation level. Moreover, his master changed their names as well as their faces. Well, only Lin Diyu’s face remained unchanged, as he did not have any issues with being here in Da Sishen.
The God Emperors revealed bewildered expressions, but some had relief in their eyes. One could even hear their sighs through their eyes. After all, if the array were to be broken, that strong being from the Central Domain would certainly blame them for what would have happened.
Moving his gaze to the stunned crowd, Yang Lujia simply let out a cough. “Uh… carry on… little bureau head…” He looked at the flabbergasted expression of Wang Zhu and could not help but think whether he should laugh or cry… “Oh… little bureau head… what was your name again? Anyway… that’s not important… did I pass?”
Wang Zhu was still in a daze as he nodded. Seeing his younger brother in a trance as though traumatized, Wang Lao decided to take over and host the event instead.
Nodding at Yang Lujia, his eyes showed reverence like none prior to this. Of course, he understood what it meant. This was not a simple evildoer.
This Cao Nima was a true monster! He was basically on par with the strongest of the God Emperors!
“Yes, you passed. You may now wait for the second segment of the elimination round.”
Yang Lujia dismissively floated in the air and landed gently on the ground near Lin Diyu. The latter’s eyes were shining.
This was his master! An invincible existence!
When the crowd finally settled down, Yang Lujia stared at Lin Diyu with a frown on his face. “Diyu, I’m somewhat hungry.”
“Huh? Master, do you still eat at your level?”
“Yes, I practice this scripture that can make me feel hungry. I don’t exactly know why, but eating, drinking, and sleeping could make me feel comfortable. And it seems to be getting more frequent and stronger these days for no visible reasons,” Yang Lujia solemnly said.
His eyes lit up as fast as the speed of light after thinking about something.
“That shrimp we caught! We still have half of its body. Let’s enjoy it to our heart’s content. That Phoenix Tail Shrimp was simply the most delicious one I have ever tasted in my life.”
Lin Diyu’s eyes also shone. When his master mentioned the shrimp, saliva started to fall on the side of his lips. He could still remember its taste, which was even more expensive than a gold bar.
Their conversation naturally reached the other cultivators, who were also participants. Such an exchange of words made them feel awkward. ‘Why are you talking about eating when we’re still in the middle of the elimination round? Also, are you not a cultivator? Why would you still eat when you’d not get hungry? Does eating make you a genius? This is simply outrageous!’
Generally, cultivators don’t eat. They only eat as a form of luxury or as a hobby. However, the expressions of the two were completely abnormal.
Did they really have to eat while the competition was ongoing? Clearly, they knew at one glance that something like this wouldn’t be a hobby for these two young men. Instead, it was something they’d regularly do, based on their conversation.
Pulling out the large shrimp, some other participants had their eyes wide-eyed. Yes. This shrimp was the shrimp they saw in books and were taught and warned by their seniors not to provoke in the Hundred Deaths Gorge River.
“Death Loom Shrimp!” exclaimed a God Emperor, ignoring the ongoing test.”Oh my goodness! Did that fellow actually kill it? Moreover, it looked like the lower half of the body of the shrimp was already severed, more so eaten.”
After eating their load, Yang Lujia satisfyingly rubbed his stomach. It went the same for Lin Diyu. However, what was more bizarre was when the crowd heard a person faintly snoring.
‘What the fuck? We are all busy here, and yet you still find yourself able to sleep? Do you not know that this is a dangerous place to sleep?! Others could launch a sneak attack on you, you know?!’
Lin Diyu, who saw his master lying down while snoring, also felt dizzy and fell asleep.
‘This…’
“Shrimp… don’t go… come here… shrimpieeee… Phoenix Tail Shrimp… Stir-Fried Shrimp… Kung Pao Shrimp…”
“…”
When they heard Yang Lujia’s words while dreaming, they were, again, dumbstruck. Even Wang Lao got distracted and was somewhat speechless.
Yang Lujia had never been this carefree in front of several people ever since he had arrived in this world. His eyes shone with delight as he saw the number of seafood swimming towards him in this dream world of shrimps.
