Chapter 1243: Can Retire

Lu Ze flashed a smile. “I am not that strong.”

Upon hearing his words, the mouth of the others ended up twitching.

After all, they once witnessed Lu Ze and the girls show off their power in the Xavier Ancient Ruins. This was especially the case for Sabrina. She was well aware how Lu Ze possessed various god arts and domains.

Nangong Lin glared at Nangong Jing. “Come, little girl, spar with your dad. How dare you mock your very own father?”

“Huh?” Nangong Jing was dumbfounded by the challenge. She responded by laughing it off. “I don’t think there is a need for that, dad…”

Nangong Lin might not have the ability to withstand even a single punch from her.

This time, Nangong Lin offered, “Let’s limit both our cultivation to level-1 cosmic system state then. I want to test how strong you have grown.”

Before he left the Federation, he knew how strong Nangong Jing was. She used to be a weak girl who needed protection. However, in such a short time, her power managed to surpass him by a huge margin. This elicited a feeling of happiness but also complicated emotions within him.

His child had grown up already.

And now… Did she become cocky?

Nangong Jing looked at Lu Ze for help.

Lu Ze stood still without saying anything. He could only look away silently. After all, this was his father-in-law.

With the lack of response, Nangong Jing glared at Lu Ze with dissatisfaction before agreeing to Nangong Lin’s challenge.

In the next second, the two went to the battlefield.

Nangong Lin said, “Jing Jing, don’t go easy on me.”

Nangong Jing rolled her eyes without responding. She was at a loss for words.

Right then, Nangong Lin surged with golden light as his chi soared.

Elder Nangong, Nangong Lin, and Nangong Jing all cultivated Body God Art.

This time, Nangong Lin stomped on the stage, which then caused the ground to fracture. He then appeared in front of Nangong Jing.

He swung his fist towards Nangong Jing. But then, Nangong Jing dodged his punch with ease.

Nangong Lin resorted to swinging his leg. However, this kick of his was evaded by Nangong Jing without difficulty.

Red Flame Saint and the rest gasped at the turn of events.

“What?! Did Jing Jing attain this level of power already? Even though she leveled her cultivation level with Xiao Lin, her father was utterly outmatched. Old Man Nangong must be greatly delighted.”

Alice giggled and remarked. “Grandpa, I’m very strong too!”

Red Flame Saint rubbed her head in adoration. “Mhm, your grandfather believes you.”

Alice let out a pleased smile. “The Federation has us. You don’t need to work too hard now.”

In order to find sufficient energy for Alice, several humans had already lost their lives. These sacrifices were thorns in Alice’s heart. But now, she has already grown strong. Moreover, her senior and sisters got her back.

They could protect the Human Race now.

Red Flame Saint nodded. “I’m assured that the Human Race has you guys. After we return, I’ll retire, just like those few old guys.”

“Yes, we can retire after we get back.”

…

The feeling of happiness surrounded the room.

During this time, Lu Ze had a smile on his face.

‘Retire? No way.’

They still had to manage the Federation. When it came to this aspect, the group was reluctant to take over. They found it difficult to handle something quite troublesome.

As the two were exchanging words, Nangong Lin stopped attacking. He complained, “There is no point in fighting anymore! I can’t hit you at all!”

Why is her power this absurd now?

Nangong Lin looked speechlessly at Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing scratched her head. Right now, she felt as though she had thoroughly broken her father’s confidence, so she quickly replied, “Dad, you’re very strong already. I mean it!”

Nangong Lin rolled his eyes and walked back. When his eyes landed on Lu Ze, he wanted to say something. However, he held himself back and paused. Then, Nangong Lin’s voice reached Lu Ze’s head. “Kid, treat Jing Jing well.”

Lu Ze nodded seriously in response. “Don’t worry, I will.”

Thereafter, Lu Ze and the girls fought with the others a bit.

Because Lu Ze and his team were almost invincible, Red Flame Saint and the rest couldn’t enjoy the battle at all. They decided to put a stop to it.

…

They returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Lu Ze used a golden dew and a white liquid. He immediately felt he was being nourished as his cultivation level rose at an unbelievably fast rate.

This speed was nearly ten times faster than when he used peak cosmic cloud state super red liquid.

At this rate, he would soon break through to the peak cosmic cloud.

He soon began to focus on cultivation.

…

Two months later, Lu Ze and the girls were still cultivating in their room.

When Lu Ze decided to open his eyes, a smile formed on his face.

Peak cosmic cloud state!

He wasn’t far from the cosmic realm state.

Lu Ze digested the white liquid from the two overlord beasts and reached the peak cosmic cloud state. Right after, he used more peak cosmic cloud state super red liquid to raise his cultivation level to the current stage.

Every time they entered the Pocket Hunting Dimension, they would learn the Ice God Art Domain.

With this opportunity, the girls finally learned their first domain.

Lu Ze’s Lightning God Art Domain was also much superior to before because of the dao rune shard. Now, they should be able to kill the other three overlords.

Lu Ze was keen on accomplishing just that.

If he killed the other three overlords and used more white liquid, he would definitely be able to break through to the cosmic realm state.

His combat power would rise drastically.

However, overlords in their prime were definitely tough opponents. Lu Ze wasn’t certain if he could kill them.

He shook his head and looked at the girls.

‘Let’s go and attempt it in the Pocket Hunting Dimension at night.’

Ever since the golden eagle and ice bird died, the other overlords stopped fighting.
