Chapter 100: Terrifying Talent

Huff! Huff!

Lily took long, deep breaths as her body glistened with sweat.

She slashed her katana again, and with a "swoosh" sound, the katana sliced through the air with a smoother flow, feeling more natural, as if her katana was tearing through the air.

"My familiarity with the katana has increased by a lot. I should be able to reach the first level soon," Lily thought. However, she had a frown on her face.

"Wasn't becoming a martial artist very hard?" However, when she thought about how Lu Zhen quickly became a martial artist and reached the Third stage in a month, she felt that she still lacked talent as Lily continued to practise.

"Since Young Master was able to reach it in such a short time, my talent is still not enough. I must practise harder," Lily thought as her grip on the katana tightened.

However, if the world knew that a girl who had just started practising martial arts was close to becoming a martial trainee in just moments, an undeniable shock would come to them, and they would feel their lives were wasted.

After all, no matter how heaven-defying the cultivation technique was, it always depended on the martial practitioners themselves.

It was like giving a child a calculus book and telling them to read it. The child would undoubtedly not understand a single number and would give up. That was also true here in this world.

There were no shortcuts in this world!

So, Lily achieving such feats was an indescribable shock. After all, most people practised their whole lives, dedicating themselves to martial arts. However, in the end, they wouldn't even be able to reach the level of a martial trainee, even if they had the rich resources to cultivate.

"Let's cook dinner for Young Master now before starting to train again," Lily sang happily as she made her way to the kitchen.

Since Lu Zhen had previously forbidden himself from meeting with other women, she was the only one allowed to stay in Lu Zhen's palace. Except for her, the other servants were mostly in the kitchen to help her prepare food and occasionally to help her clean the palace to keep it spotless.

The guards mostly stayed outside, with a very low number, but they were all at the martial trainee level in their cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the room, another scream echoed as Lu Zhi fainted on the floor.

Lu Zhen looked at the tattoo with a satisfied expression.

"You can get up now," Lu Zhen said as he manipulated the string intricately. The moment he did, Lu Zhi, as if controlled by a puppet attached to a string, stood up.

"You know what I could do with this already, right? After all, you've already experienced it firsthand," he casually remarked.

"The old master has some resentment for you," Li Nan hurriedly said with a hoarse voice.

"Huh, why does he have resentment towards me?" Lu Zhen had a confused expression.

"The thing is, Lu Ying, your mother, has never given the old man any attention after you were born. However, seeing that you were born as a waste with no interest in martial arts, he took pity and didn't try anything on you. But seeing your recent martial arts achievements..."

Lu Zhen suddenly interrupted her.

"How do you know?"

Li Nan sneered.

"We are the personal guards of the old master; how wouldn't I know? It's no secret among our guard group."

Lu Zhen fell into deep contemplation as he absorbed this information.

"Then, what were your instructions given by the old man?"

Li Nan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly speaking.

"I was instructed to spy on you only. I was not allowed to take any action and to try to seduce you if possible."

"How interesting," Lu Zhen chuckled upon hearing this.

"I didn't expect the old man to be so..." However, Lu Zhen didn't have any way to deal with the old man, and he hadn't targeted his life yet. Although the spy might not have harmful intentions, hearing Li Nan's admission removed that possibility.

"Now, you will be working for me. You will provide me with the information I want," Lu Zhen declared, his eyes glinting with a strange determination.

Li nan's eyes widened when she heard Lu Zhen.

Since the old Man planted a spy on Lu Zhen he will use that to his advantage.
