Supreme Uprising - Chapter 24

Chapter 24

It was Luo Yunyang who had arranged for Luo Chang to get a job at the bank . He had met Luo Chang the previous day . This maiden who had once given him solace gave him an indescribable feeling . However, those big beautiful eyes of hers seemed distant now .

This sense of distance was something that only Luo Chang herself could overcome .

Although becoming an elite martialist of the Rising Dragon Army seemed impressive, the existence of origin beasts made Luo Yunyang feel threatened . He didn't know how the path he had taken would unfold . Besides, the two of them were still young . Fate would decide how things would go for them .

"I've got to go . I will be leaving Donglu Town soon . This is my Chang'an address . If you have time, you can come visit me there . " As Luo Yunyang spoke, he handed Shen Yulang a piece of paper .

Shen Yulang looked at Luo Yunyang and nodded gently . The two friends would be parting soon . There were many things they wanted to say, yet they remained silent .

"I'll be leaving, old friend . Don't watch me go!" After Shen Yulang said this, he suddenly extended his arms and rushed over to Luo Yunyang .

One of the methods fat people used to bully others was hugging .

In the past, Luo Yunyang had suffered quite a bit because of this move . Although his Speed was very fast now, Luo Yunyang didn't avoid it .

Bang!

His friend's body collided hard against Luo Yunyang's, causing the fat young man to fall down dramatically . Luo Yunyang kept standing there quietly .

Shen Yulang clambered up from the ground and rubbed his arms . "You are leaving, Luo Yunyang . Why didn't you give in for once?"

"I gave in, I didn't move, I didn't use any of my strength either!" Luo Yunyang grinned .

Shen Yulang huffed . "Alright, I better go pack my stuff . You sick monster! You are like a tank!"

While he watched his fat friend sway as he left, Luo Yunyang felt an indescribable sadness . From now on, they would be going their separate ways . However, given their abilities, this was the best arrangement he could make for his friend .

A tank? This fella!

Luo Yunyang was certain that he hadn't used any strength during their collision . If his friend had been sent flying, then that meant…

As he thought about it, Luo Yunyang walked over to a weighing scale . When he stepped on it, the figure displayed made him get flabbergasted .

246 kilos?

Damn! When had he become so heavy?

Luo Yunyang looked down at his palms and figure, but didn't see any changes . This caused even more doubts to fill his mind .

Could this be a result of cultivating the Ape-Dragon Blueprint? Perhaps the fact that his Constitution had increased was the reason behind it .

Or perhaps his body's density had increased .

As he pondered the issue, Luo Yunyang walked to the strength-measuring practise target and punched it hard .

"Luo Yunyang, 4,950 kilos . Outstanding!"

His strength was 4,950 kilos . That was 100 kilos higher than his strength after he had cultivated the six diagrams of the Ape-Dragon Blueprint .

In the past, an increase of 100 kilos would have been an astronomical improvement for Luo Yunyang, but now it was not even worth mentioning .

It seemed like he'd had the same strength the previous day .

In the past, some Golden Deer Meat and grade-six energy bars, would have been enough to make Luo Yunyang's strength increase a lot . Luo Yunyang had eaten close to 50 kilos of Golden Deer Meat and practised the Dragon-Ape Combination Strike . The speed at which he digested food was very astonishing, yet his strength hadn't increased .

Everything had a limit . No food on the market could meet his requirements and improve his strength anymore .

He would either have to wait or find high-grade dire beasts or medicine .

Early in the morning, Luo Yunyang and his family got into a car driven by Fang Zhongyuan .

Fang Zhongyuan had a meek smile on his face . He seemed to be honored to be there, yet Luo Yunyang's family looked solemn .

Their life in Donglu Town might have been poverty-stricken, but they had spent over 10 years there, so they were leaving some very profound memories behind .

"He he… If you miss Donglu Town, you can still come back and visit," Fang Zhongyuan consoled Shen Yunying softly .

Shen Yunying smiled as she stroked her daughter's pigtails . "Exactly . We will return whenever we have time . "

The streets were cold and cheerless in the early morning, but as the car was about to leave town, familiar faces appeared before Luo Yunyang's eyes .

Some of these people he had been very close to, while others were mere acquaintances, but everyone was smiling at him sincerely .

Shen Yunying bade farewell to her close neighbors, and Luo Dong'er said goodbye to her young friends . The car moved slowly, but it still moved forward .

"How great it would be if your father knew we were leaving Donglu Town . . . " Shen Yunying sighed as Donglu Town disappeared in the distance .

Luo Yunyang was still looking in that direction . Although they were already quite far away, every resident was reflected clearly in his eyes .

His entire Mind Power was currently focused on his eyes .

A figure hiding behind the crowd suddenly walked forward . It had to be her . That kind, sensible, considerate, gentle maiden… When Luo Yunyang thought about how difficult it would be to ever see her again, he felt a pang of grief in his heart .

. . .

Luo Yunyang was sitting in a slow-moving transportation vehicle . He didn't know whether to call it a train or a subway .

It couldn't be called a train, because it was traveling underground, yet it was only 10 meters deep in the ground, so it couldn't be called a subway either .

Each carriage contained at least 100 seats, but there were only about eight passengers inside, all of them wearing the same Rising Dragon Army uniform that Luo Yunyang was .

Luo Yunyang was browsing through the second-hand laptop Fang Zhongyuan had helped him purchase .

On the table was a photo of him with his mother and sister . This photo had been taken in their new home in Chang'an .

Their two-bedroom apartment was very clean, but its dusky atmosphere wasn't that appealing in broad daylight .

"You have to train for three years . If your results are good, you will be like dragons among humans . If they aren't good, then you will return to Chang'an City and stay there . Ha ha ha!" These straightforward words echoed around the carriage .

The person speaking was a young man below 20 . He wasn't tall, yet he seemed as strong as a bull .

According to him, he was a veteran who had already spent one year training in the elite class .

Except for the fact that he would not reveal where the training grounds were, he hadn't hidden anything else from them .

"We will be needing your help in the future, Big Brother Zhao," a soft voice said in a flattering tone .

The person who had spoken was one of the two female soldiers in Luo Yunyang's group . She was also the most beautiful one .

Although she wasn't too tall, she had a well-proportioned body and a beautiful face, so she was like a swan among a flock of chicken . She was clearly the princess of the group .

The male soldier, who clearly enjoyed this sort of compliments, replied right away, "Rest assured, young sister . If anyone bullies you, do not hesitate to tell your big brother . I will make them face the consequences!"

"If that's the case, then I would like to thank Big Brother Zhao in advance . "

The two of them burst into laughter .

However, most of the others remained silent . Some of them frowned, while others pretended not to see anything .

Luo Yunyang was browsing through some web images on his computer . Thanks to this second-hand computer, he had found out that computers had actually existed for a few centuries .

Before the apocalypse, almost all young people his age used to have at least one computer . However, the energy crisis that had followed the apocalypse had forced the majority of the population to struggle for survival . Thus, computers had become something that only elite martialists could use .

"Do you know why we are riding this train that isn't buried deep underground, yet isn't travelling above the ground either?" The male soldier was like a peacock trying his hardest to attract the beautiful girl's attention .

His words caught the attention of quite a number of people .

"Because right now, we are no longer in the safe zone . And this place, which is neither too high nor too deep, is the safest place to be . "

As Big Brother Zhao spoke, everyone's interest reached an all-time high . Some people even brought him a glass of water to please him even more .

"Let me tell you all . . . " As Big Brother Zhao was talking, a roar reverberated through the void .

Suddenly, the huge train screeched loudly . Everyone sitting inside felt like they were being flung out of the window .
