Chapter 18: Lin Xiaomeng Striking Up a Conversation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A creaking sound that lasted for a long time passed.

A streamlined railcar that was over 100 meters long stopped right in front of them.

The car was round and had many strange patterns engraved onto its body.

Lu Huai felt a little dizzy just from looking at the lines.

It was very similar to the runes left behind by Big Black, but they were a lot simpler in comparison.

“These are martial arts runes on the railcar. They were carved by experts who had learned the art of runes.”

“These runes can isolate the airflow and increase the speed of the railcar.”

“If a demonic beast attacks, they can also act as a defensive mechanism.”

“…”

Long Sheng seemed to have noticed Lu Huai’s curiosity about the railcar, so he introduced it to Lu Huai as if he were very familiar with it.

“The art of runes?”

Lu Huai asked curiously.

“Yes,” Long Sheng replied, “Other than the regular martial artists, there are also martial artists who have learned how to draw runes. They’re called runemasters. Runemasters can use special items to draw runes with different effects. For example, the protective rune we’re looking at right now.”

Lu Huai nodded in realization.

It seemed like his understanding of martial artists was still too limited. He did not know that such a group of people also existed.

“How long will it take for us to get to District 3 from here?”

Lu Huai asked the question he was most concerned about.

After all, the test was tomorrow morning, and he was worried about being late.

The railcar could only be booked online, and there was no clear time.

“We’re not too far away from the District 3. It is only about 2000 kilometers away. Based on the speed of the railcar, we should reach District 3 in about four hours.”

At this point, Long Sheng’s face revealed a trace of bitterness.

“But they’re usually not on time.”

“After all, as I told you just now, there are demonic beasts. For safety, the speed of the railcars is slowed down on purpose so that they won’t make too much noise. However, our railcar should still arrive within five to six hours of the appointed time. It won’t delay you by too much.”

Long Sheng naturally knew about Lu Huai’s arrangements.

Although he said so, Long Sheng also knew that there were definitely many people on this railcar protecting Lu Huai in the dark.

It looked like he had set off alone, but in fact, he had more than that.

The two of them got on the railcar together.

The interior of the railcar was extremely large, and the tunnel could accommodate five people walking side by side.

Lu Huai was soon brought to a private room.

Not only was the seat a comfortable sofa, but it was also equipped with various appliances, and there was even a large screen in front of it.

“This is your seat.”

Lu Huai looked at Long Sheng in confusion. “I only reserved the standard seats. This is the first-class, isn’t it? ”

“This is the arrangement of your Heavenly Divine Academy. They have promoted your seat so that you can feel more comfortable as you head to District 3,” Long Sheng said with a smile.

Lu Huai could not help but laugh.

He had rejected a private shuttle, but he had not been able to reject a first-class seat.

However, this was fine as well. He could take advantage of the comfortable ride and cultivate.

“Then I’ll be leaving first. If you need anything, feel free to look for me anytime.”

Long Sheng left after saying his part.

The private room was huge, and it did not feel crowded even though Big Black was huge.

Lu Huai removed Big Black’s mask, and it immediately opened its mouth to let out a stringof curses.

Lu Huai quickly covered its mouth.

Big Black could only whimper twice in response.

“Shh, Big Black, we’re in a public place. Don’t disturb others.”

Big Black rolled its eyes and broke free from Lu Huai’s restraint. Then, it found a random place to lie down.

Seeing how obedient Big Black was, Lu Huai was relieved.

He had been worried Big Black would tear apart the things in the surroundings after he took off the mask.

It seemed that Big Black only liked to tear down things in his house.

A man and a woman passed by Lu Huai’s private room.

Lu Huai took a few glances. He did not know the boy, but he had met the girl once.

She was called Lin Xiaomeng.

As the daughter of Lin Men, she was more than qualified to sit in the first-class area of the railcar.

Lin Xiaomeng also noticed Lu Huai in the private room.

Her eyes flickered.

She had not heard much about Lu Huai ever since she had been admitted to Anyang First High School.

She had only heard some news about him from her father, Lin Men.

It was said that this guy had joined the Heavenly Divine Academy.

His father had also wanted to recruit him but ultimately failed to do so.

She wondered exactly how high his talent was.

Lin Xiaomeng was very curious about Lu Huai’s talent. When she passed by the door, she even sneaked a few glances.

She had never had such an experience before, so she was very nervous.

Fortunately, the door of the private room was not wide, so she walked past in two to three steps.

Di!

Di!

Suddenly, several ear-piercing sounds could be heard.

The railcar had started moving.

They quickly disappeared from the station.

Through the window of the private room, Lu Huai could clearly see that the entire railcar was wrapped in an illusory light screen.

No wind could blow in.

Moreover, the railcar was very stable and did not experience the slightest bump as it moved.

Lu Huai closed his eyes and began to circulate the breathing technique of the “Nine Transformations Qi Circulation.”

Not long after, he heard a voice in his ear.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that the screen in front of him had lit up.

It displayed an analysis of the characteristics of each demonic beast, one after the other.

This was a popular science program about demonic beasts, and Lu Huai watched it with great interest.

There was no harm in knowing more.

“Big Black, what’s wrong?”

Lu Huai noticed that Big Black, who was lying on the ground, suddenly perked up its ears and stared out of the window.

Lu Huai assumed that Big Black had never been on a railcar before and was a little nervous.

He went forward to comfort it.

Big Black lay down again, but its eyes were still looking out of the window.

There was a hint of vigilance in its eyes.

“Erm… Hello, Student Lu Huai.”

A gentle voice rang in Lu Huai’s ears.

Lu Huai turned around.

However, he saw Lin Xiaomeng standing at the door with a nervous look.

“Hello, Student Lin Xiaomeng.” Lu Huai replied politely.

“You still remember my name?” Lin Xiaomeng asked in surprise.

“Of course, I remember. Student Lin Xiaomeng awakened an S-grade talent in our Anyang First High School. A lot of people have been talking about you, so how could I not know?”

Lu Huai said with a smile.

Lin Xiaomeng pouted inwardly.

What is he trying to say by mentioning my S-grade talent? Why do I feel like he’s looking down on me?

It’s probably just my own imagination. It’s fine, it’s fine.

“What’s the matter?”

“Actually, it’s nothing much. I heard that Student Lu Huai has joined the Heavenly Divine Academy?”

Lu Huai nodded.

Their conversation attracted the attention of the other people in the car.

They looked over with interest as they chatted amongst themselves.

“Hey, look at that. Isn’t that Martial Emperor Lin’s daughter? Who is she talking to?”

“I’m not sure, but I think she mentioned the name Lu Huai?”

“Who’s Lu Huai?”

A bored boy who was playing with his phone put down his phone and said in disdain, “Didn’t the internet say that there was a martial arts genius with a gradeless talent in Anyang First High School?”

“I think his name was Lu Huai or something, but it was deleted later.”

“It was probably just a publicity stunt.”
