Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 60

Upon opening the front door of his house, Lu Shu saw that Lu Xiaoyu was watching the light comedy being played while on the couch with her feet up the air. With a face full of surprise, she told Lu Shu, “Lu Shu, Lu Shu, training really does work. I no longer feel that the house is chilly anymore!”

Stunned initially, Lu Shu subsequently laughed after hearing her words.

This old apartment didn’t have any air conditioning heater and when winter came, Lu Xiaoyu would always be wrapped up in a thick blanket whenever she was watching the television on the couch. Furthermore, she would wake up every morning feeling cold on her nose.

However, Lu Shu did not have any better idea in his mind and all he could do was to turn on the heater in Lu Xiaoyu’s room on the coldest days. He would then sleep on the floor in her room where it would be more comfortable for the both of them.

Even if such was the case, the heater could not be turned on often as the landlord had left it in such a shabby condition. Thus, turning it on would barely solve the situation at all.

Early in the spring season as such, the nights were still unbearably chilly for them.

All is well now. Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu had both strengthened their physical condition through the cultivation of their abilities and were no longer afraid of the cold. No matter what was in store for them in the future, the current benefits their training had brought about cannot be dismissed.

Lu Shu probed, “We’ll go and catch the movie tomorrow afternoon. I pa.s.sed you my phone yesterday to buy the tickets. Have you gotten them?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’ve gotten them,” as she nodded happily. Lu Xiaoyu had never been to a cinema and just the thought of watching a movie together with Lu Shu was enough to keep her up all night feeling excited.

Lu Shu was too lazy to ask her about anything else. As for Lu Xiaoyu’s training system, it was fully automatic and there was no need to worry about it. Perhaps, she could even be rising up the cla.s.s gradings as they sit through the movie tomorrow…

How many people would be p.i.s.sed to death if they were to know how carefree and effortless Lu Xiaoyu’s training journey was.

Lu Shu simply drew out all the portions of stinky tofu he needed for tomorrow morning’s business and peacefully went on to his training.

Tomorrow’s plan was to wake up early in the morning in order to sell his stinky tofus and then proceed to bring Lu Xiaoyu to the movies. After that, in the afternoon, they would go and eat the duck blood vermicelli soup which was mentioned by her a long time ago. There shouldn’t be an issue with this plan.

There weren’t any surprises from the lottery, nor was there another golden piece of paper appearing again.

Lu Shu was already mentally prepared long beforehand and he wasn’t disappointed at all.

With 14000 distress remaining, he used up all of them at one go to purchase celestial fruits with the goal to light the 7th star by tonight. He was curious to find out what magical phenomenon would happen when he had completed lighting up the first nebula on the map.

Lu Xiaoyu was sitting beside him, no longer watching the television but rather, staring at Lu Shu swallowing celestial fruits one after another. Her mouth was salivating till it almost overflowed!

“Lu Shu, can you think of a way so that I can eat just one of that fruit. Just one!” as she raised up her index finger to show the number ‘1’ with a face full of sincerity.

Lu Shu’s eyes were wide open and said with all helplessness, “This is something you really can’t eat.”

“Aww…” as Lu Xiaoyu went back to watching the television.

Up until dawn, the sky looked as white as the belly of a fish from a distance as the white silky sunlight swiftly penetrated the layers of cloud hiding the skies.

The gathered celestial energy residing in Lu Shu was swirling around like huge ripples at this moment, rapidly coursing throughout his entire body. It felt as if there was a thunderstorm and with the torrents combining into a huge tsunami, it crashed towards the huge obstacles in order to destroy them.

For the first time, Lu Shu felt the pain from his own training, as if there were dams clogging up the rivers in his body which was inevitably destroyed by this ‘tsunami’ in one fell swoop.

All Lu Shu felt was a smooth sense of ease and relief just as this rush of energy had pa.s.sed.

Water would eventually have to return to the seas as all these wandering celestial energies sprinted towards the 7th star.

As they gathered, the 7th star was finally lighted up, completing the first nebula on the map.

In this boundless sea of darkness within the map, the first nebula in the corner of the map flashed a glorious light of victory… signaling the power of life!

The only thing left behind in Lu Shu was pure happiness and there was nothing else at that moment which could compare to the joy brought to him by the thought of him becoming stronger.

Being an orphan from young with no one to rely on, Lu Shu had survived all on his own.

He understood the true nature of society, where only the strongest will survive and that the world was never actually fair at all.

If the world’s true colors were really as such, the only thing he had to do was… to get stronger.

This feeling of joy was like a key, gently entering the galactic map… which caused the first nebula to start spinning.

With the 7th star at the center, the 6 other stars revolved around it with their own trajectory. This entire nebula felt as if it was a world on it own, building itself within Lu Shu’s chest.

Just like a flame, there would come a day where it would brightly blaze up.

Above the vast nebulas, the top of the 7th nebula impressively revealed a black sword made of jade with the words written on it – Corpsedog.

So this change was brought about by completing the first nebula? Lu Shu opened his eyes wide and with an intentional wave of his hands, the Corpsedog rushed out from within his chest, floating right in front of him.

The word “Corpsedog” was something Lu Shu was familiar with as he had come across this term during his previous homework for the Dao Yuan cla.s.s.

Humans have three finer spirits and seven basic instincts that motivate a human being. The finer spirits are split into three realms, Heaven, Earth, and Man which are also known as the ethereal spirit, the sensory spirit and the spirit of life respectively.

The seven basic instincts are split into various types, namely being – happiness, anger, love, fear, sadness, evil and pensiveness. They were also known as the Corpsedog, the Concealed Arrow, the Yin of Sparrow, the Seizing Thief, the Non-Toxic, the Filth Removal and the Smelly Lung respectively.

Lu Shu wasn’t sure as to what mystery the Corpsedog forebode. Could it be that this 7 nebulas represented his own 7 seven basic instincts?

This was the frustration Lu Shu was facing in his journey of cultivating his own abilities. There was no one he could ask help from and he had to figure everything out all by himself through his own experimentation.

Lu Shu couldn’t possibly use that black mysterious, ancient-looking blade to slash himself or Lu Xiaoyu right?

The sword was rather small in size and its body flowed smoothly, looking more similar to a dagger than a sword.

The blade did not feel comfortable in his hands but it could dance around in the air according to his exact wishes.

As such, Lu Shu couldn’t stop playing with it. Being able to control the dagger with just his thoughts, it meant that… other than just his physical prowess reaching cla.s.s E, Lu Shu had unlocked another cla.s.s of supernatural powers!

The flying dagger wasn’t exceptionally swift but it was definitely faster than the punches Lu Shu could throw out and of course, it couldn’t match up to the speed of bullets. However, after utilizing this ability for a short while, he soon felt a sense of fatigue…

This was the first time Lu Shu had ever felt fatigued ever since starting his practice!

From the look of it, he did manage to reach cla.s.s E and possessed the ability to control a flying sword although not for long. Lu Shu had also attempted to control other items but other than this dagger, he could not even control a single piece of tissue …

Does this mean… that it was truly an ability to control a flying sword?

Hey, if he could get his hands on such a special ability upon reaching cla.s.s E, then what kind of level would his neighbor, Li Xianyi be?

Lu Shu had initially intended to learn a bit of swordplay from Li Xianyi but retracted his intentions as he was unsure of the other party’s actual ident.i.ty.

However, as of now, Lu Shu had hatched a new plan since his galactic map was related to swords and he was considering whether or not he should be learning a thing or two from Li Xianyi.

After all, he did have a sword of his own but all he could perform was some form of stabbing actions which were similar to child play.

So should he or should he not learn from his neighbor? Lu Shu thought for a long time before deciding that it is better to stay cautious. Let’s wait and see!
