novelThe Dragons Shock
| ← Ch.0174 | Ch.0176 → |
With the appearance of the Cougar King, the aggression between mankind and the monsters had suddenly ramped up!
Many people realized that the White Ape King was not the only one of its kind.
There were too many kings of monsters like it still in hiding!
Moreover, they feared that all these kings of monsters were opposed to humans!
After all, this was a matter of their survival as a species. Even if they wanted to cohabit the world peacefully with humans, how could humans live peacefully with them?
The only way was for humans to have the strength and abilities to resist and to control them!
Under these circumstances, the appearance of the Dragon undoubtedly fulfilled everyone's expectations.
The champions of humanity were not limited to a mysterious man in black, as another had now appeared.
Furthermore, unlike Lu Xuan, who remained shrouded in mystery, the Dragon's identity was quickly revealed.
He was the number one man in Huaxia, the Chief of the Agency of Special Affairs!
With the Dragon's identity being exposed, the superpower that was the Agency of Special Affairs had finally appeared in the public eye.
People finally knew that there was actually such a fearsome faction of Cultivators in Huaxia and that it was subordinate to the country's government.
Without a doubt, this immediately brought many people peace of mind. So it was not just the monsters who were secretly growing stronger, but humans were also secretly developing their strength.
Humans were not completely helpless against the threat of monsters.
Both sides had strong champions.
This was, without question, the most important fact!
Though the Dragon's win over the Cougar King was not like Lu Xuan's fight, where he seemed to punish the White Ape King like teaching a child a lesson, despite it being the size of a small mountain, the Dragon's fight could be said to bring people contentment.
The fight unfolded in the way that everyone imagined a fight between a top tier master and a king of monsters should happen.
This desire of the masses should have been fulfilled with Lu Xuan defeated the White Ape King, but he had made killing the White Ape King look too easy. As such, the people's wishes were finally granted when the Dragon fought the Cougar King.
In that instant, Dragon's fame instantly rose, and people brought up the name of Huaxia's number one man once again.
"Another one that emerged got killed!"
The rabbit shivered as it watched the screen. Then, it gave Lu Xuan a sidelong glance, as it recalled right away how Lu Xuan had quickly dispatched of the White Ape King.
"I say, monsters can't stick out from being too strong, or it's hard to stay alive!" the rabbit said, even though it was quaking with fright in front of Lu Xuan.
Still, it was essentially still a king of monsters. It knew that someone was behind these kings of monsters, instigating them to come out into the world.
Even though sucking up to Lu Xuan and fawning over him was not something befitting his status as a king of monsters, it was still better than having its head chopped off and its corpse dissected in some research facility.
Capital City, Agency of Special Affairs Headquarters.
Having parted ways with Lu Xuan, Ming Yueyao met the Dragon in the Capital City headquarters.
At this time, the Dragon was just returning from outside.
"When the analysis of the dissection is complete, give me a copy of the report!"
The Dragon's assistant received their orders and left.
When the Dragon had regained his focus and set eyes on Ming Yueyao, he was suddenly taken aback, as he saw that Ming Yueyao had actually attained the Invincible Vajra Level.
He was about to ask Ming Yueyao what happened in this period of time, but he was now actually stunned.
Seeing the Dragon freeze, Ming Yueyao let out a breathy laugh. She had never seen the Dragon react like that. He had always projected an image of being fully in control, so she had never seen the Dragon surprised before.
"What's going on with your level of cultivation? Is this related to Mr. Lu?" the Dragon asked to clarify.
Ming Yueyao nodded and related everything that happened to the Dragon.
"That cave abode of a legendary swordsman..." The Dragon squinted as he said, "I can't believe a sword formation we couldn't deal with could not even trouble Mr. Lu. He's really knowledgeable!"
Everything that Ming Yueyao was telling him now was new to them.
The Agency of Special Affairs did not know that Lu Xuan had gone into the sword formation after the fight.
As for the sword formation, the Agency of Special Affairs had guessed that it might be a cave abode of some Cultivator.
They had indeed intended to conduct a full investigation. However, nobody could have expected that before they could begin, Lu Xuan had already kept everything in his pocket.
Also, the alkahestry pill that Lu Xuan casually gave Ming Yueyao was no simple pill, as it had actually helped her break through to the next level of the Invincible Vajra, even though she only just had a breakthrough not long ago.
"Still, it's a good result regardless. Now our Agency of Special Affairs has one more Invincible Vajra master. This is really great!"
The Dragon was smiling radiantly, full of joy.
He did not feel that Ming Yueyao's increasing strength was a threat to himself.
In truth, during this period of time, the Agency of Special Affairs was under too much pressure. There were many reports of kings of monsters appearing in various parts of the country.
Many were still hiding deep in the mountains and forests, and unlike the strong masters in human society, they could not be monitored closely.
All alone, he was beginning to feel like he could not keep up. Now, with Ming Yueyao's growth, it was like their fighting strength had doubled, and she was extremely essential.
"I'll give you a mission shortly. There's a king of monsters in the northeast, itching to cause trouble. I wanted to lead a team there myself at first, but since you're here, you can take the lead!" The Dragon paid no heed to the bitter look in Ming Yueyao's eyes, immediately giving her a new assignment.
"Oh that's right, besides the things that Mr. Lu took with him, I've got people to bring back the most important skill manuals from inside the cave abode. You can put a team of experts together to research them and see if they're good enough for widespread use!" Ming Yueyao reported.
"Good. I'll get someone on that immediately!" the Dragon replied.
Elsewhere, Lu Xuan had already returned to the Yunxuan Villa.
"Little Guoguo, your big bro has brought back a little rabbit for you. Come, play with the little rabbit!"
Lu Xuan carried the rabbit to little Guoguo.
"Wow, what a cute rabbit! Thank you, big bro!"
Little Guoguo hugged the small rabbit. Then, she climbed agilely onto Lu Xuan's shoulder, giving Lu Xuan a big kiss on the cheek before heading off contentedly to play with the little rabbit.
The little rabbit trembled, not daring to resist. It was a dignified king of monsters now reduced to being a child's plaything.
Even so, it dared not resist. In any case, on the way back, Lu Xuan had told it that if it behaved well, there would be further benefits to be gained.
If it did not behave, it would be instantly butchered and made into braised rabbit meat.
The dignified rabbit king of monsters was now eagerly trying to please its new young master in little Guoguo. At the very least, its new master seemed easier to fool than Lu Xuan.
At this moment, Liu Wanrong walked over and asked, "Son, was the person who killed the White Ape King you?"
Lu Xuan was momentarily stunned. Though he had asked Ming Yueyao to keep his involvement secret, he had no intention of hiding anything from his own mother.
"That's right. It was me!"
Hearing Lu Xuan admit it, Liu Wanrong let out a sigh, a difficult expression appearing on her beautiful face.
"You need to be careful. Now that you've made a move, it's only a matter of time before people pick up clues about you. When that happens, trouble will never stop finding you!" Liu Wanrong warned.
"Relax, Mom, you're underestimating me too much. If one troublemaker appears, I'll kill one, and if two appear, I'll kill two!" Lu Xuan laughed.
