Chapter 502: Chapter 299 Arrival and International Conference_2

Saying that.

He shook Li Wuji’s hand vigorously.

It seemed that everything he said at this moment was heartfelt.

“Alright, alright.”

Li Wuji laughed heartily.

“Old friend, with your words, I can rest assured.”

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

Then, someone escorted the representatives of the Char Empire to their prepared resting place for the afternoon’s International Conference.

It was in that brief moment when the crowd parted.

Both Li Wuji and Davis,

The smiles on their faces completely disappeared.

The previous scene of old friends meeting and chatting happily seemed to have never happened.

“Old Li, did you feel it?”

A faint voice sounded in his ear.

It was Sun Yihe’s voice.

Upon hearing it,

Li Wuji imperceptibly nodded.

“Mhm.”

“That guy, he’s not completely human.”

“Or at least, not entirely.”

From the man’s previous performance and Li Wuji’s close examination,

At least half of the white man’s body was made up of mechanical components.

And,

The other part human components, also seemed exaggeratedly excessive.

Both his muscle density and the intensity of his internal organs’ activities,

While far exceeding that of Superman, came with a sense of incompatibility.

It didn’t seem naturally cultivated.

Long before the Tide Rising Period, Li Wuji had already received some hearsay.

In order to maintain its dominance in the international arena during the Spiritual Qi Awakening,

The Char Empire has been secretly researching mechanical and genetic enhancement.

The white man from before was most likely a so-called research result.

Upon this thought,

Li Wuji’s eyes inevitably flashed with a hint of concern.

He wasn’t worried about how strong these so-called genetically modified people were.

Instead, he was worried about the maturity of this technology.

After all,

Even though the white man seemed like the kind of Martial Artist that he could easily crush,

The man still possessed a mid-level Martial Artist’s capability.

And there were six such bodyguards following Davis.

The aura of each one was identical.

If people like them could be mass-produced by the Char Empire….

For humanity, it’s naturally advantageous.

But for the Martial Arts Association’s plan to gain the dominant position, it’s somewhat unfavorable.

Add to the fact that the Char Empire has always regarded China as a thorn in its side,

This International Conference might create disturbances.

For a moment,

Li Wuji looked into the distant sky, lost in thought.

Until the headset transmitted another voice.

This time, it was the arrival of the Xilia Empire.

This was a country with a history of thousands of years, and it still retained the royal system to this day.

According to the information Li Wuji knew,

The Xilia Empire’s term for their Transcendent people seemed to be “Knights.”

But since the method of transcending was only known to a select few within the royal family and the Church,

Li Wuji had no idea how exactly they cultivated or what kind of abilities they possessed.

But this time, he might have the opportunity to witness it.

With that thought in mind,

Li Wuji’s eyes were fixed on the plane that was gradually landing from the sky.

Soon,

The Queen of the Xilia Empire and her royal Knight, along with a group of Xilia Empire parliamentarians, stood not far from Li Wuji.

Following that, there were more pleasantries and friendly talks.

Seizing this opportunity,

Sun Yihe, who was standing behind Li Wuji, was glancing at the “Royal Knight” from time to time.

From the outside,

This Royal Knight looked very young,

Seemingly around the same age as Chen Sheng.

Blonde and blue-eyed, with distinct facial features,

Accompanied by a gentle smile and a perfectly proportioned body,

Even Sun Yihe couldn’t help but sigh,

He’s really damn handsome.

However,

Handsome as he is,

Sun Yihe could still feel an air of aloofness and an elusive sense of threat from the Royal Knight.

He had seen that aloof air in many people before.

It was the unique temperament that only geniuses and strong individuals possessed when they fully realized the gap between them and ordinary people.

It seems,

This Knight protecting the Queen,

Must be a genius?

But that’s not right either.

Genius,

Who isn’t?

Sun Yihe admitted that there might be a world of difference between him and Li Wuji and Chen Sheng,

But having come this far,

He himself could be considered a top-notch genius.

And now,

This guard knight.

He looks about the same age as Chen Sheng.

But he can give him a sense of threat.

Could he be some old monster?

Sun Yihe frowned slightly.

However, he didn’t believe that another freak like Chen Sheng could exist in this world.

Nevermind.

After pondering for a brief moment.

Sun Yihe temporarily put aside trying to figure out the other party’s thoughts.

The international conference would last for several days.

During that time, he would have plenty of opportunities to learn about the so-called “knight” heritage.

As well as the strength of this guard knight.

Just like that.

After a brief conversation.

The people of Xilia Empire left with the guidance.

Before leaving.

An aggressive gaze swept over Sun Yihe and Li Wuji’s body.

It was that young guard knight.

From beginning to end.

He just quietly stood behind the queen, smiling, with eyes slightly narrowed.

He seemed to not care about anything at all.

It wasn’t until he was about to leave.

That he started to size up the high-level members of the Martial Arts Association.

In his eyes,

There was an eager emotion.

And… provocation.

He seemed to have no fear at all for these two warriors standing at the top of the martial arts world.

Only a fighting spirit.

“It’s been a long time since China’s martial arts flourished.”

“I am Or, and I have admired you for a long time.”

“I hope to have the opportunity to learn from the two of you.”

The young voice spoke in somewhat stiff Chinese.

The guard knight named Or placed his palm on his left chest and slightly bowed to both of them.

Afterward,

He followed the queen and left.

He didn’t even bother to target the other Association Committee Members behind him.

Although he seemed to be polite on the surface.

This barely-there arrogance actually caught the attention of those around him.

“Interesting.”

Li Wuji chuckled without getting angry.

Even the Association Committee Members were not angry because they were looked down upon.

This was China.

The country with the longest history, the most complete heritage, and the largest number of top warriors in the world.

As for their inner pride.

These members of the Martial Arts Association were much prouder than that guard knight.

It was just that the Chinese people were always modest and did not like to show off.

Feeling angry at the provocation of the weaker.

The strong would naturally not feel angry.

“He has good strength.”

“But his temperament still needs some refining.”

“However, those people from Xilia Empire can really hold back.”

“They sent such a young man for such a huge event.”

Looking at Or’s departing figure, Li Wuji nodded slightly.

In his eyes, there was only appreciation for the young, powerful person.

“It’s not your first day knowing their character. What’s so strange about it?”

Sun Yihe sneered.

Then he looked at his old friend.

“Shall we go?”

“Let’s go.”

Only three or four countries were worth the personal reception by Li Wuji.

And his main goal was to observe the people from these countries as soon as they arrived, so as to make adjustments to the original plan accordingly.

As for the others,

The Association Members’ reception would do just fine.

Having said that,

Li Wuji briefly informed the Association Members and left with Sun Yihe.

“It’s a pity that Chen Sheng is only focused on cultivation.”

“Otherwise, I would be quite happy to see that young knight meet him.”

While walking,

Sun Yihe couldn’t help but sigh.

Although it seems that the strength of these major countries has not surpassed their expectations so far,

China lost many high-level and top-level martial artists due to the incidents in Kyoto.

It’s still a bit forced to try to show absolute crushing strength against these major countries.

If Chen Sheng could be here, things would be much simpler.

“No matter.”

“You and I can handle these trivial matters.”

“Strength is the key to dealing with all problems.”

“In the time leading up to the conference, have someone keep a close eye on these people.”

“Don’t let them do anything that I don’t want to see.”

Li Wuji softly instructed.

“Understood.”

Sun Yihe nodded slightly.

As his voice fell,

His figure disappeared from the spot.
