Level Up in Martial World

"What have I done now?" he looked around at the people, and everyone avoided his gaze like he was a cancer or a disease to them.

"Although he might not have offended Lu Zhen, he has certainly offended his little fans…" they muttered while avoiding his gaze.

At that moment, he knew he had messed up.

The man turned his back, seeing a mob of women who were seething at him with rage.

He was dead! (Metaphorically, of course, or not?)

….

Lu Zhen finally saw the tall building in his vision, and his eyes lit up.

He hurried his footsteps as he walked, and everyone made way for him.

While the four women strangely looked at each other and walked closely to Lu Zhen.

Xia Mei and Lily were already familiar with each other, and Huang Li was even more familiar to them. However, Jiang Xue was the oddball of the group.

She was not very familiar with the others simply because she had just joined Lu Zhen and hadn\'t even had the time to talk with the other girls. So, of course, she was unfamiliar with them since she hadn\'t talked to either of them, not to mention about talking; she hadn\'t even seen them.

Although she had met Lily previously, at that time, she was high and mighty. Now she had fallen from grace, while Lily\'s status had undoubtedly increased to a terrifying degree.

Jiang Xue touched her cheeks with reminiscent eyes as she looked at the broad back of Lu Zhen with a silly smile on her face.

"This woman has gone crazy," Lily muttered, seeing the silly smile on Jiang Xue.

Previously, she had looked up to Jiang Xue and had always adored her, but now she was nothing. Her status could be even said to be the lowest among the three women because her family was slaughtered, and her strength was average at most.

She was equal to Huang Li in cultivation realm but was like an insect to both Lily and Xia Mei. The difference between her and Huang Li was that they were just not familiar with each other enough.

With that said, Jiang Xue suddenly startled awake from her thinking as she crashed into the back of Lu Zhen.

"I am sorry, young master," Jiang Xue said hurriedly.

"It\'s alright," Lu Zhen replied with a smile on his face.

"Th- Thank you," she replied with a blush on her face, seeing the handsome profile of Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen just nodded his head, "It\'s better to be handsome than not to," he muttered to himself.

No matter what people say, being handsome plays an important role in how others perceive you. Although Lu Zhen didn\'t know about those old monsters, for an average teen or even an adult, being attractive played a significant part. This was evident when he looked at Ancestor Lu, who should be at least a century old but appeared young.

Of course, Lu Zhen wouldn\'t believe that this phenomenon was because of the martial realm of Lu Ming. Instead, it was simply because he had consumed the youth pill, which infinitely makes one look younger but doesn\'t affect the lifespan much.

While the first-stage martial artists he had ever seen till now were also young, so they definitely cared for their looks.

These were mundane things in a mortal\'s short life; however, somehow people were always influenced by these things.

The only one who wasn\'t influenced by Lu Zhen was Elv. Although she didn\'t show it, her eyes reflected a deep level of emotionlessness that he had never seen before. Like a truly heartless person, she seemed like a demoness. Lu Zhen didn\'t know if that was her true form or not, but her eyes told a tale of emotionlessness to the entire world.

Lu Zhen could guess, from his assumption, that the truly old monsters were all like Elv, their emotions being washed away with time, at least that is what he assumed it to be.

"Young master has arrived."

The door of the palace opened, and he swiftly ended his contemplation, looking around the place.

There was a crowd of people; some were the patriarchs of the smaller families, some were unfamiliar rogue second-stage martial artists, and some were just the elders and grand elders of the Lu family.

However, they all had one thing in common: "power."

In the hall, every power in the Phoenix City was present.

Everyone\'s gaze was drawn in as they all concentrated on Lu Zhen when he entered.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen had an uncaring gaze as he casually walked towards the centre. Although he was a little stunned seeing so many people, most of them were like bugs to him.

Even an average second-stage martial artist was no match for the current Lu Zhen, even without his system.

So, his confidence wasn\'t empty at all.

All the elders of the Lu family bowed, while the grand elders nodded their heads. However, the outsiders all looked at Lu Zhen with a frown on their faces.

Lu Zhen frowned when he saw this and erupted with his aura, covering the whole hall.

Boom!

The ground began to shake as a heavy pressure pressed on everyone present in the halls, enveloping them as they started to quiver under the merciless aura of Lu Zhen. However, the elders and the grand elders were relatively fine.

Seeing this, everyone\'s expressions turned terrified, and they hurriedly bowed to Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen nodded his head with a satisfied expression and took back his aura.

As the pressure vanished into thin air, they heaved a sigh of relief with horrified expressions.

"How strong have these kids become already…" Their expressions morphed into pure terror, seeing the hulking youth who could already be considered a giant.

"How?"
