Chapter 392: Association of Unaffiliated Practitioners

Unlike Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu could understand him without the need for translation software.

To the speaker, the demonstration was merely an addition to his already perfect speech as he never expected anyone would be able to rip eight strands of steel cable apart, which could bear weight of up to four-thousand kilograms.

Even if anyone could, he would not be wasting his time here listening to his speech.

Lu Shu pondered, it would not be very nice of him to ruin the speaker’s laudable efforts thus far. Apparently, the man had taken his own interest into consideration in uniting the individual Practitioners and those willing to join were likely to be short of manpower and resources themselves. In the merit-based large organizations, they might not be able to enjoy many benefits and that was where entrepreneurship came into play.

In general, each one of them had their own agendas. Thus, how could he spoil the mood…

Following this thought, Lu Shu did not hold out his hand for the cable, which was wrongly interpreted by the speak as a lack of confidence. The latter insisted and smiled, “Don’t be shy, brother. Just give it a try and see whether we can break it. It is not just a steel cable, but to let you experience the strength of unity…”

As Lu Shu started applying his force, one strand ruptured with a crack…

“From Simon Baker’s distress, +666…”

Before the rest could react, there was another round of incessant cracking sounds.

It was even easier to break the remaining strands after the first. Under the immense pulling strength, the entire bundle was fractured apart!

“From Simon Baker’s distress, +999…”

Simon was petrified. Could you please return to your bloody seat, judge?!

All of the members of his audience were in shock by the display of strength as well.

“From David’s distress, +333…”

“From…”

Lu Shu felt sorry for the lame reference. However, being a market spoiler was… awesome…

Honestly, he felt guilty for his actions. The fantasy that a union of low-level individual Practitioners could contend with established organizations for resources boiled down to their inability to excel in reality. As a result, they would rather fool themselves with such blatant lies than to accept their own weaknesses.

But Lu Shu had shattered their dreams with his sheer strength…

Even he himself thought it was too much…

Everyone stared at Lu Shu in a mixed feeling of disbelief and irritation, with the urge to beat him up but no courage to do so. They knew fully well that the young man had a clear advantage in physical strength over them…

But which expert would hide themselves in such an idle crowd? Did you not have better things to do?!

There was grief and indignation too…

Besides being suppressed by other powerful organizations, their ambition of forming a team on their own had been trashed by an expert too… Do not push us too hard!

Lu Shu wanted to apologize, but deemed it inappropriate to portray the Chinese in such an unfriendly light. At the very least, he was representing the image of China overseas!

It was then that his profound knowledge came into play. Why did he study so hard for and for so long? Was it to realize his childhood dream to be a scientist? Of course not…

Then, Lu Shu bowed ninety degrees like a Japanese, “Gomen-nasai.”

Normally, in Japanese, “sorry” could be translated as “sumimasen”, but a more sincere version was “gomen-nasai”…

And Lu Shu was being very genuine…

Then, Lu Shu immediately left the place. After he returned to Lu Xiaoyu, not only did he take off his cap and mask, he also changed into a new set of clothes…

With more Practitioners arriving in Koh Chang, the beach was now crowded with people, with some in swimsuits. If you took a look around, you would see mostly Caucasians.

Lu Xiaoyu glanced over at Lu Shu, her head tilted, “What did you do over there?”

Lu Shu put on a dramatic face, “To preach my life philosophies. You see, there are so many people in the world awaiting enlightenment…”

“Just say you went over there to be an idiot. Don’t be so pompous…”

Just a while ago, thousands of distress points were clocked in. Despite the thirst for more, Lu Shu was unable to evoke such a huge wave of animosity yet…

Lu Xiaoyu replied calmly, “It is preparation time now. Shouldn’t we do our best to unite as many forces as we can? Or at the very least, to avoid any conflicts at all cost? Only then can we spare more time for the resources inside.”

Lu Shu paused for a second, “You are a genius, Xiaoyu!”

“Of course!” Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes were twinkling.

The next instant, Lu Shu ran to the beach in search of unions. Currently, the unaffiliated Practitioners were also copying one another and trying to form teams, so that they might have more helpers in the remains.

Meanwhile, being utterly shameless, Lu Shu was trying to join every team he saw using his clumsy English.

Moreover, as a self-proclaimed Class E strength-type Metahuman, in spite of his average capabilities, his skills type added much value to his identity. Thus, he managed to join most groups he applied to…

Speaking of which, almost half of the individual Practitioners on the beach had become his teammates now…

It was estimated that all would arrive at Koh Chang from Pattaya by night.

At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly ran into a Chinese group. To his surprise, he saw the ferry girl whom he met upon their arrival in Thailand. She had tied her hair up, looking neat and brisk. Moreover, she was the leader of the team.

The girl also froze for a second upon seeing Lu Shu, she was obviously able to recognize him, “Do you want to join us? What class are you?”

“I’m a strength-type Metahuman of Class E!” Lu Shu grinned.

There was not much reaction in her group. Although Class E’s were considered rather remarkable among unaffiliated Practitioners, this team was formed by elites and accepted no one below Class D and non-Chinese practitioners. To them, underperforming members might drag down the productivity of the entire group.

However, the girl smiled after pondering for a few seconds, “Welcome, our new member. As Chinese people, we should help one another. My name is Meng Jingchan, taking reference from ‘zen (Chinese character “chan”) belongs to him who finds peace (opposite to Chinese “jing”) in grief’. How about you?”

“Bravo, hello!” Lu Shu had never paid much attention to the meaning behind his name! Thus, he mused for a long moment before replying, “My name is Lu Mu, because the fortuneteller once said I lack wood (Chinese character “mu”) in my five elements*…”

*Five elements refer to metals, wood, water, fire and earth, a theory held by ancient Chinese to make up the physical universe and was also used for fortune telling purposes.
