Chapter 7

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Outside Lu Huai’s house, a group of figures appeared out of thin air. They had all been treading on clouds before they landed on the ground.

The gazes of the people outside the door were filled with hostility.

A muscular man saw a skinny man in the group and walked up to him with a hint of mockery.

“Ji Fa, did your people spread the news just now? If it wasn’t for the alliance’s quick response, the fact that there was a gradeless talent would have been known to the whole world. What if a spy on the demonic beasts’ side found out?”

“Chen Kong, don’t use your filthy mouth to slander me,” Ji Fa frowned. “We do manage the alliance’s network, but what evidence do you have to prove that we did it?”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in tight clothes descended from the sky and looked at Ji Fa with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Little Ji, what’s wrong with you? The appearance of a gradeless talent is no small matter. How could you have allowed it to spread so easily?”

Ji Fa looked at the person who came and was stunned. “Martial Emperor Lin, why are you here?”

The person who had come just now was none other than the martial emperor of the Lin family, Lin Men.

A martial emperor was already one of the higher-ups in the alliance.

There were no more martial saints in this era, and martial sovereigns were old monsters that stood behind the various forces.

A martial emperor was already considered to be the most powerful person in the human world.

Not to mention, Lin men was also the family head of the Lin family. His status was even more distinguished than that of an ordinary martial emperor.

Lin Men said indifferently with his hands behind his back in response to Ji Fa’s question.

“Naturally, I’m here to see the gradeless talent.”

Lin Men’s appearance made the people present look indignant.

They were naturally unhappy that another person had come to vie for the talent.

Lin Men’s eyelids twitched slightly as he scanned the crowd.

What a good fellow.

People from the Alliance University in District 9, the Martial Arts Academy school in District 1, and the Heavenly Divine Academy in District 3 had all come. People from the Ji family and the Chen family had also come.

This group of people’s noses is even more sensitive than those of dogs.

If it was not for my daughter’s tip, this gradeless genius would have been snatched away from right under my nose.

“Greetings, Martial Emperor Lin.”

“I didn’t expect to see Martial Emperor Lin here. What a surprise.”

When these people saw Lin Men, they waved their hands as a form of greeting.

“Mm,” Lin Men nodded and replied indifferently. He then bowed to the crowd and spoke without any politeness.

“A genius has appeared in Anyang City. I, Lin Men, would like to recruit him into our Lin family. Please give me some face and allow me to have this opportunity. I will definitely thank you in the future.”

Hearing Lin Men’s words, everyone’s mouth twitched.

What do you mean by giving you face?

If it was an S-grade or an SS-grade talent, then they would have no problem giving way to Lin Men.

However, this was a once-in-a-thousand-year talent, someone with talent at the same level as Martial Saint Gu Wushuang.

How was his face enough to reserve such a golden opportunity?

“Martial Emperor Lin, let’s just rely on our own abilities. Your Lin family may be a big family, but our Hua family isn’t a small family either. Your words alone are not enough to make us back down.”

A white-haired old man said slowly.

“Although he has a gradeless talent, Lu Huai is still a child. He has to put his studies first. Our Heavenly Divine Academy is very suitable for him.” Another old man said.

“Dean Liu, your words are not fair. Could it be that the Martial Arts Academy is inferior to the Heavenly Divine Academy?” The dean of the Martial Arts Academy said.

Lin Men’s smile froze. It seemed like it would not be an easy task for him to bring Lu Huai to his side.

This time, he might have to pay a steep price to achieve what he wanted.

Just as everyone was arguing, a deep voice came from the sky.

“It’s quite lively here. It looks like I’m not late.”

Everyone raised their heads, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Lin Men’s face darkened when he saw who it was.

“Martial Emperor Na, you’re here too?”

“I remember that the Martial Emperor Na was carrying out a mission in the secret realm, right? Why are you here?”

“If you guys can come, why can’t I, Na Wanlin, come as well? I can come and go as I please when it comes to a mere secret realm!”

With a smile on his face, Na Wanlin landed in front of the crowd.

Behind him was a cloaked man. Everyone could clearly smell the aura of a demon from the cloaked man.

Lin Men frowned and said, “Na Wanlin, I heard that you’re cultivating a kind of half-human, half-demon creature? Is this rumor true?”

As soon as he said this, everyone went into an uproar. They looked at Wan Lin with vigilance in their eyes.

However, Na Wanlin did not care at all. He smiled and said, “So what if I am? As long as it can kill demonic beasts, it will be useful to us humans.”

Hearing this, everyone quieted down, and they all looked at Na Wanlin silently.

Everyone knew that Na Wanlin was an extremely radical person.

He would not forego unorthodox means in order to achieve his goals, and he was also very stubborn.

For example, this half-human, half-demon guy in front of him was clearly someone who was half-demonic beast, but he was still accepted as a disciple by Na Wanlin.

The alliance had already secretly given orders that if this half-human, half-demon fellow made any strange movements, they could kill him on the spot without caring about Na Wanlin.

Needless to say, Na Wanlin’s purpose for coming here was naturally for Lu Huai.

Lin Men snorted and stopped arguing with Na Wanlin.

But he suddenly had a thought.

If Na Wanlin really recruited Lu Huai, would Lu Huai become an extreme person in the future?

If that were the case, would it not be akin to leading a gradeless genius astray?

At the thought of this, Lin Men clenched his fists. He could not let Na Wanlin succeed.

Just as the atmosphere was about to turn hostile, a voice was heard.

“Hello? What are you guys doing here? Don’t block the way even if you’re renting a residence.”

Lu Huai, who had just taken Big Black out for a walk, returned to the apartment only to find a bunch of people standing inside and outside the apartment, blocking his way home.

The confused crowd thought that someone was going to pass through, so they made way for him.

Lu Huai, on the other hand, took out his key and opened the door under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Then, he closed the door with a “bang,” leaving the deans of the major academies, clan heads, and martial emperors outside.

Everyone looked at each other, and someone asked, “Isn’t this Lu Huai’s house? How did he enter?”

Some people had yet to react.

However, there were also people who spoke after they realized it, “What are you still thinking about? He’s Lu Huai!”

As soon as he said that, everyone who was blocking the door became excited.

“Hurry up! Quickly go over!”

“Lu Huai! Open the door! We’re from the university of District 9!”

Lu Huai had just returned home and had yet to change the food for Big Black when someone knocked on the door.

Lu Huai opened the door, and it immediately quieted down. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring right at him.

Lu Huai tilted his head and asked in confusion.

“What are you guys doing?”
