Chapter 200: Friend

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roda seemed to have spent a long time in Flame City, and his familiarity with the surrounding environment far surpassed Lu Ming’s.

Furthermore, Roda had a mysterious background. Despite his young age, he possessed Spirit Realm strength and mastered several unusual Source Power skills, such as the invisibility ability he had demonstrated earlier.

It was worth mentioning that this invisibility ability could also cover others.

Under the protection of Roda’s invisibility Source Power skill, the two of them traveled smoothly without any hindrance.

After passing through the outer city area, they confidently swaggered past the Divine Dao Alliance’s checkpoints in the inner city area, and entered into the inner city.

After walking for about an hour, the two of them finally stopped in front of a mansion.

“We’re here.”

Roda turned to Lu Ming with a smile and made an inviting gesture.

Lu Ming shook his head and said, “You first.”

Roda shrugged and stepped into the courtyard.

The inner city of Flame City was also known as the affluent district.

During Flame City’s heyday, only high-ranking officials and nobles resided in this area. As a result, there were no towering skyscrapers in the inner city; instead, there were individual villas hidden behind winding paths.

At this moment, the house that Lu Ming and Roda had entered did not look particularly remarkable from the outside.

After pushing open the door and walking in, they could see that the porch was broken and the pillars had collapsed. These traces were very fresh. Clearly, this place had been visited by explorers recently.

Following Roda further, as they walked, Lu Ming heard Roda speak softly.

“On the surface, there’s nothing special about this place, but in fact, this house conceals a hidden world.”

“During the late stages of Flame City’s existence, the Three Kings Rebellion broke out… which directly led to the destruction of the Flame Clan.”

“And this place is King Lin’s secret residence.”

After a brief conversation, the two of them arrived at a rockery in the courtyard. Roda stretched out his hand, and with a faint glow in his hand, the rockery floated up, revealing a deep cavity underneath.

“Below is the place where King Lin secretly trained the death warriors.”

“I only discovered this place by chance.”

With that said, Roda was the first to walk into the underground passage.

Descending through the tunnel, their vision gradually widened, revealing a vast underground space.

In the center of the underground space was a massive martial arts arena, surrounded by numerous ancient weapons, silently narrating the former glory of this place.

On both sides of the martial arts arena were moderately-sized individual rooms.

Perhaps because they had heard the footsteps of the two of them, voices came from the surrounding rooms.

Lu Ming looked over and saw an old man and a woman walking out of their rooms.

The two of them had looks and hair color similar to Roda and seemed to be of the same race.

The old man had a venerable appearance with bright eyes, and his aura was not overt but certainly not weak.

The woman was beautiful and youthful, appearing slightly younger than Roda.

“City Lord.”

“Brother.”

The elderly man and the young woman greeted Roda differently. Roda smiled and gestured to Lu Ming.

“This is Uncle Lu. This is my cousin, Roxin.”

With that said, he looked at Uncle Lu and Roxin. “This is a friend 1 met outside. His name is Lu Ming.”

Lu Ming could vaguely sense that Uncle Lu and Roxin were looking at him strangely, but they did not have any ill intentions.

He nodded at the two of them and heard Luo Xin smilingly said, “Brother, you’ve actually made friends on your own initiative. That’s quite rare…”

Roda scratched his head, smiling to hide his embarrassment. He then said to Uncle Lu, “By the way, Uncle Lu, prepare a room for Little Brother Lu Ming. He’ll be staying here for the time being.”

Uncle Lu nodded and said, “Understood.”

In the huge underground space, there were only Roda, Roxin and Uncle Lu.

Including Lu Ming, there were only four people in total.

However, the supplies here were quite substantial. There was plenty of food in several rooms, and there was even a ready-made well nearby, which solved the water problem.

After briefly tidying up his small room, Lu Ming went out to look for Roda.

Seeing Lu Ming visit, Roda seemed quite pleased, but Lu Ming got straight to the point.

“I need to talk to you.”

“First of all, I thank you for providing me with shelter and protection.”

“Secondly, let’s not talk about friendship for now. If you want something from me, you can just say it directly. Don’t keep me in suspense. 1 don’t like guessing games.”

Lu Ming had always been straightforward.

For the sake of friendship, words like this were too vague for Lu Ming.

At this moment, although Roda looked sincere and treated Lu Ming sincerely, Lu Ming did not believe that he could easily make friends with a Spirit Realm expert…

Lu Ming believed that he did not have a protagonist’s aura.

Lu Ming’s straightforwardness made Roxin frown, while Uncle Lu remained expressionless. Roda, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

Soon, Roda said, “Valuing talent and wanting to make friends are indeed the reasons 1 brought you here.”

Lu Ming was about to speak again when Roda said, “Of course, after we become friends, it’s only natural for friends to help and support each other. That’s what friends do.”

So, making friends was just a cover; the real focus was on helping and supporting each other.

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, “So we’re already friends now. What do you want me to do for you?”

Speaking of this, Roda immediately perked up.

He said seriously, “I want to see how powerful a micro-level Source Power Skill is!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Roxin and Uncle Lu were immediately stunned. The two of them looked at Lu Ming in unison, as if they could not believe that this-looking guy had actually mastered a Source Power Skill to the micro-level!

It had to be known that weak Source Power Skills were not worth investing much effort into.

As for powerful Source Power Skills, their cultivation speed was generally extremely slow!

Even though the three of them were from large clans, they had rarely heard of anyone mastering a Source Power skill to the micro-level, let alone seen it!

Then, he thought of the attributes of that martial arts lunatic, Roda…

From the looks of it, it made sense for Roda to take the initiative to build a relationship with Lu Ming.

Hearing Roda’s words, Lu Ming said, “Didn’t you already witness it before?”

Roda shook his head, “Not enough, far from enough!”

“Moreover, without experiencing it personally, it’s difficult for me to grasp the intricacies of it.”

“So, Brother Lu Ming.”

As he spoke, Roda bowed politely to Lu Ming,

“Please take care of me in the future.”

Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded gently, “Then 1 won’t hesitate to disturb you for a while.”

After a simple dinner at this place, Lu Ming looked for Roda again.

“From now on, I’ll practice with you for an hour every day. Is that enough?”

Roda nodded, “It’s enough.”

“Then let’s begin now.”

With that said, Lu Ming asked, “Source Power Armor or Explosive Fist, Which one do you want to start with?”

Roda thought for a moment and provided his answer.

“Source Power Armor..”
