Chapter 143 Lu Feng's Test

The Lu family is a prominent family.

In the Ocean Blue Federation, a family that lasts a hundred years is considered a wealthy family, while a family that lasts a thousand years is considered a noble family.

Therefore, in terms of resource allocation and power, it is absolutely incomparable to those small families that came to Meng Li back then, even though Lu Chenyao's backer is just a branch of the Lu family.

Of course, no matter how powerful aristocratic families are, they can't compare to the Federation itself.

However, he had little interest in cooperating with the government. The Federation imposed too many restrictions, and even if he became a so-called regional governor, he would still be restricted by the Federation's upper echelons in the end.

He is currently in the period of rapid growth in strength, and once he has strength, power will be readily available. In addition, given the current chaos in the Federation, he has no intention of joining this mess.

Having the Lu family handle his worldly affairs seemed like a good idea, especially since they were in the upper echelons of the Federation and could quickly gather intelligence, which was exactly what he needed.

From this perspective, cooperating with the Lu family is not only relatively free, but also easy to deal with even if the other party has ulterior motives.

However, this is ultimately just an idea. Whether the two sides can actually cooperate depends on the other party's attitude.

"Then let's go see him."

"Alright, I'll show you the way."

Hearing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Lu Chenyao, who was waiting outside the door, had already planned to give up, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn.

Under his guidance, the two quickly arrived at a study located at the top of the villa.

At this moment, Lu Chenyao's father, Lu Feng, was not alone in the study. There was also a burly man dressed in black standing behind Lu Feng, as still as a wooden stake. Even when he saw Lu Chenyao and Meng Li enter, he did not make a move.

Before the two arrived, Lu Feng was writing something furiously.

Upon seeing them enter, he rubbed his temples, put down his pen, and looked over.

He glanced at Meng Li a few times.

"You must be the Awakened One that Shen Yao mentioned. You are indeed a handsome man. I must thank you for saving my son's life twice."

He had a smile on his face and was not pretentious at all. Although he looked a little tired, the air of a superior was naturally revealed.

"I've already informed the family; you can go to the store tomorrow and choose any extraordinary item..."

Instead of getting straight to the point, the other party first thanked Meng Li, and then changed the subject.

"My son told me you're quite capable. I wonder if you'd be interested in serving the Lu family?"

His question was quite direct, and it carried a condescending tone.

"Father!"

Lu Chenyao's expression changed.

You should know that this wasn't how they had discussed it before.

Lu Feng waved his hand dismissively, ignoring his son's questioning, and instead stared intently at Meng Li, as if trying to discern something.

He then continued.

"Our Lu family treats outsiders very well. If you sign the contract, you will not only receive various valuable resources, but it is also possible for you to marry into our Lu family and truly become a member of our family."

"I don't know where you get your confidence from."

Meng Li's expression was neither sad nor happy.

Judging from Lu Chenyao's behavior, it seems that his father, Lu Feng, has other plans.

But he doesn't care.

Because it's meaningless, how can a frog at the bottom of a well know the vastness of the world?

"If you can take one punch from me, I'll work for you."

After saying that, he stood up slowly and threw a punch at Lu Feng.

There wasn't a sound of wind; it looked as slow and deliberate as an old man's punch.

Seeing this, a hint of coldness appeared in Lu Feng's eyes.

That's outrageous.

He could tell that Meng Li was doing it on purpose.

The opponent was so arrogant that he thought he couldn't possibly withstand even the slow, deliberate punches of an old man.

At this moment, some of his doubts about Meng Li's identity disappeared.

Just as Meng Li had thought.

He had originally agreed with Lu Chenyao to first establish a mild cooperative relationship with Meng Li.

Of course, his words were not unfounded, but he also knew that the Awakened Ones had just gained power and many of them had a "I'm the boss" mentality. So, although he had this intention in mind, he was taking a slow and steady approach in his actions.

But the other party appeared at just the right time.

Although the Lu family is large, there is no shortage of filth within it.

Not to mention, as a high-ranking official, he has access to a great deal of information. In today's chaotic world, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.

Therefore, upon learning that other branches of the secret network were targeting them, Lu Feng's first thought was of the outsider, Meng Li.

That's why he probed with words instead of directly cooperating with Meng Li. Intense words often reveal the other party's weaknesses.

But he didn't expect the other person to have such a fiery temper.

Judging from their behavior, Lu Feng felt that he was probably wrong. After all, if they were really trained by other branches, they would naturally have awe for the Lu family. Only a country bumpkin outsider would be so unscrupulous.

Even though it was his own fault, Meng Li's behavior still angered him.

Regardless of his outward appearance, he is the leader of the sixth branch of the Lu family, a position of great power and prestige. The Lu family has no shortage of awakened collaborators. Even if he offends the other party now, he will let them know what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world of great power.

The burly man who had been guarding the study reacted immediately.

One step becomes two.

In the blink of an eye, the other party arrived in front of Meng Li.

Immediately afterwards, his skin turned pitch black, and under the light, it shimmered with a metallic sheen.

He raised his fists and slammed them hard against Meng Li's incoming fist.

They didn't pay attention to the other party's obstruction.

Meng Li's punches remained at the same speed, neither hurried nor slow.

boom!

Under the watchful eyes of several people present.

Finally, their fists clashed.

Before Meng Li arrived, Lu Feng had already learned of Meng Li's strength through Lu Chenyao, and he could deduce that the opponent's combat power might have reached the threshold of B-level.

But so what? The Lu family's foundation is beyond the other party's comprehension. The bodyguard in front of him is also a C+ level, and all his strength lies in his physical body. Compared to Meng Li, who is dedicated and arrogant, he has no chance of losing.

It was thought that the two sides would reach a stalemate or engage in a power struggle.

But next second.

Ah!

With a scream, the burly man's arm bent at an unnatural angle as if it had hit a truck, and he was forced to take several steps back, looking at Meng Li with a terrified expression.

"interesting!"

Lu Feng's gaze sharpened.

Although the person beside him was not the strongest Awakener in his group, he was definitely not far behind, not to mention that the other party was a rare defensive type.

Seeing how powerful Meng Li was, his expression revealed a hint of surprise.

"Young man, what I just said might have been biased. How about we talk again?"
