Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 38 Battle against Cao Ning
"How can I have such an honor?"

Liu Ying shook her head, "Master Xu sent someone to inquire about me and knew that I had done something for Lu Fan, so he invited me to send this invitation."

"Speaking of which, thanks to Lu Fan, otherwise I would not have had the chance to meet Mr. Xu."

Liu Ying didn't mention Su Mu at all, but kept mentioning Lu Fan's name, which made Su Mu feel very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Su Mu's heart turned cold.

But he still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Boss, so you also have the opportunity to attend Mr. Xu's birthday party?"

"I don't have this blessing."

Liu Ying sighed softly, and said, "Which one of Mr. Xu's birthday party is not a famous person? What am I? How can I get into Mr. Xu's eyes?"

Hearing this, Su Mu's heart was completely cold, but he still pointed to Lu Fan and asked, "Then him?"

After asking, Su Mu regretted it, and he had already thought of the reason.

"Lu Fan is different."

Liu Ying said: "With Mr. Xu's supernatural powers, it is natural to know that Lu Fan has been selected as the Dragon Shadow Guard, and he has won consecutive battles and advanced to the quarterfinals."

"He saw Lu Fan's potential, and took advantage of the birthday party to show his affection to Lu Fan."

"At the same time, it's also an investment."

"Although Lu Fan's reputation is not obvious now, he will definitely be a big shot in our Zhennan Army in the future."

"It will be less interesting to make friends with Lu Fan at that time."

After a short pause, Liu Ying continued: "As Mr. Xu is such a shrewd person, he naturally understands this truth."

"understood."

Su Mu nodded.

Although he was extremely disappointed in his heart, he still forced a smile and looked at Lu Fan beside him, "Congratulations, Lu Fan, Mr. Xu should really befriend you this time, you must seize this opportunity well."

He was thinking in his heart, it would be fine if it was him instead.

You can take this opportunity to meet more friends.

And they're all great friends.

After all, Liu Ying also said just now that the people Xu Wei invited were all famous and famous people.

But Lu Fan, I'm afraid this opportunity will be wasted.

With Lu Fan's temperament, he may not like such an occasion, let alone be as comfortable as he is.

He's the man for the occasion.

Pity.

Now Su Mu can feel more and more that the gap between himself and Lu Fan is widening little by little.

Whether it is Song Yu or Xu Wei, their attitudes towards him and Lu Fan are completely different.

This gap will become more apparent in the future.

How can this gap be narrowed?
Su Mu thought hard.

By hard work?
He asked himself that he couldn't work as hard as Lu Fan.

Not only him, but few people in this world can do it.

Rely on connections?
It seems that he is not as good as Lu Fan.

Not to mention Xu Wei, just Liu Zhi, the benefits that Lu Fan will bring in the future are unimaginable.

By chance?
He is even more useless.

After thinking for a long time, Su Mu couldn't think of any possibility.

Forget it.

Think about it later.

"What's the point of congratulations?"

Lu Fan just felt awkward.

He hasn't gotten to know Xu Wei that well yet, besides, he only considers feelings when making friends, and he doesn't want to involve interests.

I don't want to fall into that kind of worldly hypocrisy.

He just wants to practice martial arts well and become the strongest in the world in the future.

He is not interested in any contacts or relationships.

In the final analysis, the world still depends on his personal strength.

As long as he is strong enough, who wouldn't want to be friends with him?

Just like now, Xu Wei is showing favor to him, isn't he interested in his growth potential?
"I do not want to go."

Lu Fan turned his gaze to Liu Ying, "Sir, please call me back, just say that I want to practice martial arts, and I don't have time to go out to socialize."

"what?"

Liu Ying was stunned.

Su Mu was also stunned.

The two of them never expected that Lu Fan would refuse.

What a great opportunity this is!

Like the two of them, they can't even go.

Lu Fan didn't want to go.

"why?"

Thinking of this, Liu Ying asked, "What are you afraid of if you miss a day of practice? If you can make friends with Mr. Xu, at least it can save you a few years of detours?"

"it does not matter."

Lu Fan smiled, "Sir, I know you're doing it for my own good."

"But which way I want to go, only I know best."

"Sometimes, taking shortcuts may not be a good thing."

"I just want to practice martial arts steadily and grow step by step."

"Thank you anyway."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan cupped his fists at Liu Ying, "My boss, please push it for me, I really don't want to go."

"Don't rush."

Liu Ying persuaded: "There is still more than a month, you should think about it carefully, and it will not be too late to reply after a while."

"OK then."

Lu Fan couldn't bear to dismiss Liu Ying's kindness, so he nodded, "It's fine to wait a few days."

"You take the invitation first."

Liu Ying bid farewell to the two of them, "I'm leaving, you both have to work hard, you must be a human being, so that I can make a good face with you."

"Row."

"Don't worry."

Su Mu and Lu Fan each agreed and watched Liu Ying leave.

"Let's go."

Lu Fan turned and walked back.

"Oh."

Su Mu silently followed behind Lu Fan, thinking about something on his mind.

Lu Fan didn't speak either.

The two were silent, and came to the door of Lu Fan's dormitory, where they parted.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Fan put the invitation in the drawer and stopped thinking about it.

He took off his shoes and got on the bed, and began to meditate and do exercises.

……

……

The next day, May NO.12.

morning.

After eating breakfast and adding points, Lu Fan opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/105
Power: 10.26
Agility: 2.96
Mental Power: 1.08
Physical strength: 8.09
Cultivation level: Ninth grade

Kung Fu: the basic practice of kung fu is complete
Martial arts: perfect fighting boxing, perfect Liuhe marksmanship
Assignable Attribute Points: 0
In less than six days, the assignable attributes increased by 1.08, and Lu Fan added attribute points to physical strength and agility.

Right now, his body doesn't look very strong from the outside.

But in fact, he is as hard as iron now.

Ordinary swords slashed at him, not to mention unscathed, at least they wouldn't cause much damage to him, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to leave even small scars.

Even if it is an eighth-rank martial artist, if he hits him with all his strength, he will not be injured.

This is undoubtedly his trump card, and it is also the biggest reliance for him to get the first place in the ranking competition.

The most important thing is that even if he won because of this, no one knows why he won.

I can only think that his physical talent is too strong.

The difference is still huge.

The biggest difference is growth.

No matter how powerful the physical talent is, there is an upper limit.

Unlike him, it can be strengthened without limit.

As long as there are enough attribute points.

He couldn't imagine what his future ceiling would be.

Perhaps there is no upper limit at all?
Thinking of this, Lu Fan became more confident.

He got up and got out of bed, left the dormitory, and came to the martial arts arena.

Today is his game day.

Still the first game.

"Lu Fan!"

"Cao Ning!"

The stands were already full of people, and the names of Lu Fan and Cao Ning echoed in the air above the martial arts arena.

Obviously, there are more people supporting Lu Fan, and the voice calling his name is the loudest.

Now his popularity is approaching that of Qin Yu.

There is no third person who can compare with them.
