Her father had practiced martial arts for many years and had already reached the level of internal strength. It was simply impossible for her to surpass him in just two years.
“My cultivation method is different from that of everyone else on Earth,” Zhang Yun said slowly. “The cultivation methods practiced by martial artists on Earth are full of flaws and even contradictory.”
“Under such circumstances, the improvement of cultivation level will naturally become very slow, like a tortoise’s pace.”
As Zhang Yun expected, Lu Shanshan was completely confused and only vaguely understood what he was hearing. Therefore, Zhang Yun suddenly looked at another table not far away.
"Call the old man who is protecting you over."
"Huh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Shanshan's beautiful eyes.
In her memory, Xu Bo was one of the strongest members of the Lu family, and her father had sent him specifically to protect her.
However, Xu Bo usually kept a low profile, and although he was always near her, he hid himself very well.
Since he began protecting her, no one except martial artists with higher cultivation levels than Xu Bo has been able to detect his presence.
How did Zhang Yun find out?
Despite these doubts, Lu Shanshan still summoned Uncle Xu at Zhang Yun's request.
"Young Master." The old man, whom Lu Shanshan called Uncle Xu, slowly walked over, then looked at Zhang Yun and said calmly, "Young Master Zhang, are you doubting my strength?"
"If that's the case, Young Master Zhang can rest assured. As long as I'm within ten meters of Miss, I'll ensure your safety as well as Miss's safety."
Although Xu Bo's voice was calm, when he spoke to Zhang Yun, he subtly revealed the arrogance of a martial artist and the imposing aura he could unleash.
However, that slight pressure was nothing to Zhang Yun, barely even a tickle. He simply looked at Lu Shanshan with a meaningful gaze and said seriously, "The old man protecting you is at the mid-stage of Inner Strength. Now, watch closely."
"How did you know about this old man...?"
A strange light suddenly appeared in Uncle Xu's usually cloudy old eyes.
Zhang Yun actually saw through his cultivation level at a glance?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, before he could think any further, he suddenly found his throat gripped by a terrifying force, lifting him into the air and causing his face to turn deathly pale.
"Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"
Seeing this bizarre scene, Lu Shanshan was immediately terrified.
She knew Xu Bo's cultivation level very well; he was at the mid-stage of internal energy, capable of shattering boulders with his bare hands, possessing immense strength, and could easily defeat hundreds of strong young men.
In the entire Jiangning City, there are not many strong individuals like Uncle Xu!
However, the powerful figure who suddenly made a move completely overwhelmed Xu Bo, and he hadn't even shown himself!
It's unimaginable just how strong this powerful individual is!
"I wonder which expert you are? Please show yourself." Although Xu Bo's face was contorted, he still struggled to speak.
"It's me." Zhang Yun slowly put down the glass in his hand and said slowly.
"It's you?"
Uncle Xu's face instantly turned extremely ugly, as red as a pig's liver.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for him!
To think that he, a respected elder of the Lu family and a martial artist at the mid-stage of internal strength, would be so easily crushed by a young man who was not even twenty years old.
Zhang Yun didn't even make a move!
What terrifying power that is!
"Now, do you believe what I'm saying?"
Zhang Yun's eyes flashed, and he instantly freed Xu Bo from his restraints, causing him to fall to the ground in a sorry state.
"Young Master Zhang, I was blind. I truly did not mean to be disrespectful to you."
Upon deep thought, a sense of fear suddenly arose in Xu Bo's heart.
Standing before him was a martial arts master!
And he's a very young martial arts master!
What is the concept of a grandmaster? They are figures who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.
He was filled with regret at that moment.
If a grandmaster is displeased, he can easily wipe out the entire Lu family.
It's easy to imagine how terrifying a grandmaster is, let alone a young grandmaster with extraordinary potential.
"Okay, you can go now."
Zhang Yun wasn't targeting Xu Bo, such an insignificant ant, and simply waved his hand casually, saying...
"yes!"
The master's words were like a command, and Xu Bo bowed and withdrew respectfully without any hesitation.
"Now, do you believe what I'm saying?"
Turning his gaze to Lu Shanshan, Zhang Yun slowly curved a gentle, sunny smile onto his lips, reverting to his previous gentle demeanor.
"Was that really you just now?
