Level Up in Martial World

"Lu Zhen, you are here," Lu Ming nodded with a smile on his face.

"To be honest, Lu Ming, I am quite jealous of you," the man laughed as he scratched his head. "It isn't common to see a second-stage martial artist who is so young even in the outside world. I didn't expect one to be here as well," the man chuckled.

"Of course, of course, Fang Yin," Lu Ming smiled as he joined in the laughter.

"Here, kid." Suddenly, Fang Yin threw a book and a crystal bracelet at Lu Zhen.

Although he was stunned, he quickly grabbed the book. The moment he caught the book, Lu Zhen's leg slipped, and he was almost about to fall to the ground. However, he quickly manoeuvred himself to prevent falling, thanks to the heavy book and a simple bracelet.

"What's this?" Lu Zhen said with a confused expression on his face as he looked at the book and the crystal bracelet.

"This is my journal from when I first entered the first-stage martial realm. It has a detailed explanation of how to do it and what to do. Remember, you must be careful with it; although you can find something relatable, breaking through the realm is naturally different for everyone.

The other bracelet contains my intent; if you release it on anyone, at least 20% of my full power is contained in this bracelet will be fully released killing a peak second-stage martial artist should be easy or even inquiring a first stage martial artist is possible. But use it carefully; it might even hurt if you use it carelessly."

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded. "Thank you, Elder."

"Just call me Wu Di."

"What a domineering name," Lu Zhen muttered in a hushed tone. "Then thank you, Elder Wu Di."

"Alright," Fang Yin nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Hey, don't steal my grandson," Lu Ming said with a frown on his face, and suddenly, a black saber appeared in his hand. "This is a second-grade weapon. As you led the war of the family and won quickly, you are rewarded with this."

Lu Zhen nodded with a smile on his face.

"Hahahaha," Fang Yin laughed with a smile on his face.

"But really, your grandson is a monster, being this strong at such a young age. If your martial heart is firm and as long as you are alive, I am sure you can become a powerhouse in the future. Who knows, you might be able to surpass the first-stage martial realm," Fang Yin said with a reminiscent face.

"Elder Wu Di, if I didn't offend you, could you tell me which realm you are in?"

Fang Yin looked at Lu Zhen with a mysterious gaze before he started to laugh. "The martial way is a long path, kid. Every step becomes harder and harder as you progress. I am just an average high-tier first-stage martial artist, nothing more."

Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he heard this. "Does the difference between every single realm differ that much in the first-stage martial realm?" he thought with some shock.

The ancestor of all the Xia, Huang, and Hei families were early first-stage martial artists, while the difference was just two sub-realms. However, he was able to effortlessly kill these three people as if they were chickens, even with the cockroach-like vitality that a first-stage martial artist possessed.

"Yes, it does make a difference," Fang Yin said, as if he could read Lu Zhen's thoughts, even though he was outwardly expressionless.

"Now, let's get back to our discussion about the inheritance cave. Where are those people who know about it?" he said as he sat back in his seat again. Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to become heavy as the two looked at each other for a long time.

"Don't tell me you lost the person who knew where the inheritance cave was," Fang Yin said with a frown on his face.

"We didn't lose them; they were all slaughtered by somebody," Ancestor Lu said with an expressionless face.

"Then what are we doing here?" His cup exploded into bits as he narrowed his eyes at Lu Ming.

"Umm, Ancestor Lu, I might have a solution for it."

Lu Ming's eyes widened when he heard this. "What is the solution?"

"As you know, Jiang Xue was my fiancée previously, and I had done something to her. From what I could see, she is clearly alive…"

Lu Zhen explained, and both Lu Ming and Fang Yin had a strange expression on their faces as they looked at him with a peculiar gaze.

"Young people." They both laughed at the same time.

"Cough, cough, so should we send people to get her?"

"Yes, I will personally go," Fang Yin said as he sat up from his seat.

"I will also go." Lu Ming also stood up from his seat without falling down.

"So it's decided then…"

"What about me?" Lu Ying's cold voice resounded in the place as she looked at them with a killing intent gaze.

The two froze when they heard this.

"Lu Ying, you need to take care of the Lu family. My idiot son should be slaughtering the Xia, Huang, and Hei families who are left behind by the main army, and don't forget about those small families."

Ancestor Lu said with a ruthless glint in his eyes, "Although we have won the war, we haven't probably established our domain here yet."

Lu Ying had a reluctant expression on her face as she looked at Lu Zhen.

"Mother, I should be fine," Lu Zhen said with a nod of his head.

"Alright, fine," she reluctantly said.

"Then what's the delay? Let's go right now," Fang Yin laughed as he walked outside.

"True," Lu Ming smiled as he followed Fang Yin, and Lu Zhen followed.

"Remember, be careful, son."

Lu Zhen paused as he nodded his head before he went outside, seeing the bright light of the sun as he had a contemplative expression on his face.
