Chapter 1678 Lu An Realization
The Demonic Ape tribe was the first vassal of the Tang Empire which was now fully integrated with the empire. Their leader, Pride, did not hold an official position in the empire, but they had their own legion on their own, part of the Tarrior, Demonic Legion.
They still occupied the fogged area near the capital which later became a training ground for Tarrior. After The Tarrior established themselves as a big division, they relocated the training ground from the Demonic Ape tribe's home. Now it had become an exclusive training ground for high-ranking officers, for the likes of Lu An, Zhang Mengyao, and other generals, even for Tang Shaoyang.
When the training ground was used, the Demonic Apes would gather and watch the sparring. Currently, the training ground was used, and the Demonic Apes surrounded the training ground.
The red ground turned pitch black, covered in shadow. In the middle of the shadow, standing a woman in white hair with her lance and shield. Zhang Mengyao stood on high alert, observing her surroundings.
From the shadow emerged a figure, attacking her from behind. The movement was fast and hard to catch by the demonic apes.
As if Zhang Mengyao had an eye on her back, she turned around and blocked the sword. The clanking sound echoed in the training ground as the figure returned to the shadow right after.
It was repeated again and again, but the shadow failed to even land a hit despite his effort. The shield kept deflecting the sword, again and again.
It was not until Zhang Mengyao changed her pattern. After deflecting the sword many times, she found an opening and charged toward the shadow this time. Pushing the sword into the air, the black shield glowed in blood red. The shadow that did not have a physical body flung backward.
Zhang Mengyao leaped, following the shadow. Her lance was glowing in blood red as well. She pierced the spot next to the shadow's head.
"My win!" Zhang Mengyao smiled at the shadow, "Two wins, three draws, and zero losses for this week. This is my best record against you, Lu An."
Zhang Mengyao let out a chuckle, "You are asking the obvious. He had fought many enemies with elemental bodies and killed them. I don't think you will pose a problem for him."
"Don't misunderstand me, Lu An. I can't explain it, but you will understand once you meet him again. He is now like a tall mountain, so tall that I can't see the peak let alone reach it. That's why I don't ask him to have a spar with me again when he returns because I already know the gap between us."
Right after she said that she received a message from Elin.
"Speak of the devil, he just returned. Why don't you see him? You will understand what I mean."
Lu An and Zhang Mengyao left the training and rushed back to the main building. They stopped at Elin's kitchen, so they stopped there.
Tang Shaoyang was holding Tang Xiulan on his lap, taking the food with his chopstick.
Lu An saw his brother's back, and he immediately understood Zhang Mengyao's worth. He saw something he could not see when he was still Legend Rank.
The aura emitted by his brother was enough to make his heart skip a beat. Even though it was not directed toward him, he could feel it. He could feel the gap between him and his brother.
Lu An was curious, curious about what would happen if the aura was directed toward him. He was curious how big the gap was between them. He did something rude, trying to probe his brother with his aura.
The moment his aura touched his brother's, Lu An flinched. The aura responded fiercely to him, but that was not what his brother doing. It was as if the aura was alive and warned him for what he did.
His legs went weak, sweating profusely, and his instinct told him to never fight this man. His blood boiled, and his body temperature rose, it was as if Miragul the devil came back alive, warning him not to fight this man.
