Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

603 Chapter 603 Clearing House

Chapter 603 Clearing House

Both parties were engaged in a confrontation in the room. The two people standing opposite Lu Yu were the leaders of this stronghold, and everyone else was just standing behind them.

When Lu Yu saw the bespectacled man, he immediately activated his Eye of the Dragon God and stared at him intently.

Lu Yu recognized the brawny man’s information with a single glance.

[ Duan Lin ]

[ Talent: Violent Body (A-Level). The lower your health, the stronger your attack and defense. Attack and defense will increase by 10% for every 10% reduction in health points. ]

[ Overall strength: Gold rank 10 ]

Lu Yu then noticed the man in glasses’ personal information.

[ Xu Chen ]

[ Talent: Shadow Dagger (A-Level). Get a dagger. For every attack on an enemy, you will become invisible for one second. ]

[ Overall strength: Gold rank 9 ]

These two people had the most strength of anyone on their team; the others were even weaker.

As a result, Lu Yu didn’t take them seriously and just looked around aimlessly.

He and Xu Mo could easily kill everyone here if they attacked!

Furthermore, they had cut off all communication and were unconcerned about reinforcement. They were free to fight as they pleased.

Chen Xu stepped forward, raised his right hand, and clutched his dagger.

“You two will no longer be alive soon. This location is less than ten kilometers from our headquarters. Once news of our signal getting cut off reaches, reinforcements will arrive quickly. You are simply courting death by being here!”

“I can now give you a chance. Go back to where you came from, and I’ll give you a chance to flee. It would be boring if I killed you so easily.”

Duan Lin became agitated as soon as Chen Xu said that.

“Are you insane? Wouldn’t we be rewarded handsomely if we took him down now?”

He demanded hastily. They would be making a significant contribution and eligible for a generous reward if they defeated the person in front of them, capturing or killing Lu Yu!

Chen Xu, on the other hand, was cautious, saying, “Sometimes, opportunities are not what they seem.”

He was aware of his and Duan Lin’s abilities. Although he didn’t know much about Lu Yu’s strength, based on the information he had gathered, Lu Yu’s strength had to be extraordinary!

Compared to the previous youngsters who had entered these ancient ruins to cultivate, Lu Yu’s strength was unquestionably one level higher!

Chen Xu was wary because their adversary’s strength was unknown. He wouldn’t even have time to flee if the strength disparity was too great!

He only had one life, so he had to be cautious in his choices.

However, it was clear that Duan Lin did not share these sentiments.

“Cut the nonsense. These two jerks just came here to commit suicide!”

“You two will perish here today as my gift to headquarters! Lucky!” Duan Lin burst out laughing as he spoke.

Lu Yu sending himself to their doors, in his opinion, was the same as striking gold blindly. He was completely uninterested in anything else at the time!

Chen Xu sighed helplessly as he looked at Duan Lin.

“I knew you wouldn’t be able to wait. I guess I don’t have a choice since you want to take them down.”

Duan Lin laughed. “I’m hoping you’re not going to do anything. That way, I’ll get all of the credit!”

Chen Xu gave him a blank stare. “If you solo them, you won’t even know how you died.”

Lu Yu turned to face Chen Xu. “At least you have some intelligence, unlike this dumbass. Whatever happens, the outcome will be the same. You will all perish!”

Duan Lin didn’t get angry and burst out laughing when he heard this.

“Hahahaha! Have you never heard of this saying, Chen Xu? The praise of the enemy is the most dangerous and fatal. When your adversary threatens you blindly, you know you’ve done the right thing. So I am correct, and you are wrong!”

Chen Xu pursed his lips, too lazy to challenge Duan Lin’s twisted logic. The adversary in front of them was clearly no slouch!

“Come on, let’s see how strong you two are to dare to enter this place.” Chen Xu raised his dagger and stared solemnly at his enemies.

Lu Yu looked around him and said, “Let’s get this over with quickly. We can’t afford to waste any more time.”

Xu Mo drew his sword from his back, took two steps forward, and held it in his hand.

“I’ll take care of him. You can handle the rest.”

Xu Mo spoke in a casual tone.

Duan Lin became enraged upon hearing this. “What the fuck are you talking about? Do you believe I’m the weaker link here? I’m going to cripple you and see if you can keep your farce going!”

Duan Lin charged toward Xu Mo and pulled out a thick blade after saying that.

Swoosh!

Duan Lin slashed down at Xu Mo, his blade flashing with a cold glint.

Xu Mo, with his expressionless face, just raised his sword smoothly and deflected the incoming attack.

Clang!

Xu Mo’s single-handed sword stopped Duan Lin’s double-handed blade with a clank.

Furthermore, Xu Mo’s grip on his sword was firm; his arm hardly moved.

Duan Lin’s angry expression froze as he examined the sword in his hand with doubt.

He couldn’t stop himself from gulping. When his blade collided with Xu Mo’s sword, he felt as if he had landed on a hunk of metal. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t move any further.

Xu Mo’s right hand was remarkably steady as if fixed in place.

From this brief exchange, it was clear that the strength disparity between the two sides was enormous!

Xu Mo’s strength had clearly outmatched Duan Lin’s. Xu Mo also had the advantage in terms of speed!

Duan Lin pulled his sword back quickly and took two steps back. He then began to cast a wary glance at Duan Lin.

Chen Xu was also watching the outcome of the short spar at the time. He clenched his teeth. “You two are strong!”

Lu Yu approached Chen Xu. “You don’t have to bother about it. You are dead soon, anyway.”

Chen Xu hastily suggested, “Wait a minute, brother. You should be aware that this is close to the Truth Department’s headquarters. This outpost is only about ten kilometers from our headquarters.”

“Because of the short distance between us, they’ll be able to get here quickly. You will be dead once they reach us!”

Lu Yu sighed and shrugged. “Doesn’t that imply I have to kill you sooner?”

Chen Xu raised his hands and nervously bargained, “Wait. I’ll assist you in concealing your tracks. I’m not going to tell anyone you were here. We’ll pretend nothing happened as long as you return, okay?”

He was completely flustered at the time.

Duan Lin, on the other hand, was still enraged and yelled, “What exactly are you saying? Do you want to be branded a traitor?”

Chen Xu clenched his teeth and went on, “Deal? Headquarters personnel would arrive shortly! You two will be killed at that point!”

Slash!

The very next moment, Lu Yu swung his right claw and tore Chen Xu apart.
