Level Up in Martial World

"What about me, young master?" Lu Qing asked with a smile on her face.

"You are already family to me; you, my younger sister, can ask for anything you like," Lu Zhen said with a smile.

Hearing these words, somehow Lu Qing felt disappointed.

"So what do you want to ask for?" Lu Zhen asked.

"Nothing, I will ask for it later," Lu Qing said as she huffed before leaving the room.

Lu Zhen shook his head in speechlessness. "What did this girl even expect?" he thought with a strange expression.

However, he just casually shrugged and looked at the spinning capsule instead.

"I hope it works," Lu Zhen thought with a sigh.

He took out a blue ball the size of a football and looked at it with a strange glint on his face.

This was his Level Up system, which was previously ejected from his body when he died.

When remembering that incident, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Luckily, it looked like some higher being was really monitoring me," Lu Zhen thought with a sigh.

If he had really died at that time, Lu Zhen wouldn't know if he would reincarnate again since he had already offended the being who reincarnated him, so it was highly unlikely that it would happen.

Lu Zhen would die and become nothing, forgotten with time – that was a terrifying thought for himself.

This would have been his first time being so close to death that he was literally dead. He was basically betting his own death on his hunch.

However, the result was quite satisfactory as well.

He sighed as he let go of the intrusive thoughts that swirled in his mind.

With practised movement, Lu Zhen directly tossed the ball to the spinning capsule.

The door opened automatically, welcoming the blue ball.

As the blue ball entered the capsule, it started to spin faster, and the sound of machines beeping and whirring echoed in the entire room.

While Lu Zhen's ears twitched, he hurriedly took the mobile device again and started his fast typing.

His fingers moved with uncanny precision as Lu Zhen looked at the screen of the mobile with a narrowed gaze.

There, the internal structure of the blue ball was displayed as if the capsule was doing x-rays.

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen frowned as he tapped one last time, and the x-ray of the blue ball went even deeper before he finally saw a glowing red light.

"Is that the place where it was being tampered with?" Lu Zhen's eyes widened. Initially, he thought that the entire Level Up system was fully plotted to prepare for all backup plans.

However, to Lu Zhen's surprise, it wasn't the case at all; the system was completely fine, and there was not a single trap present in the system itself.

Without any tampering at all, except for this red light which seemed to pulsate with a unique wavelength.

Since the red light was in the controlling part of the system, it could take over whenever it wanted, like a virus — those ugly and disgusting things that nobody liked.

Except for the red light, Lu Zhen couldn't see anything wrong with it, making him nod his head with satisfaction.

"At least I can repair this. It is not impossible to remove it…" Lu Zhen typed on the small keyboard of the mobile while controlling his strength enough that he didn't break the delicate thing.

As the instructions were sent, the rotation slightly slowed down, and the blue ball flashed with a blue light.

Btzz!

Lu Zhen looked at the screen in anticipation, excitedly observing the blue ball which flashed with a blue light, momentarily blinding his entire screen.

Slowly, the blue light's intensity decreased, and the floating capsule rotated at the same speed again.

The red light was still there, but its size seemed to have decreased by at least half, making Lu Zhen frown.

He sent the instruction again, and the shining blue light enveloped the entire screen once more.

After the blue light settled, to Lu Zhen's disappointment, the red light had again decreased by half, but it was still there, gleaming in a blazing red glory.

"I don't believe that I can't eliminate these little things." Lu Zhen roared, and his fingers moved, breaking the sound barrier effortlessly as he entered the codes for cleansing.

Again, only half was eliminated, so Lu Zhen initiated the next cleansing round.

Again and again.

The room continued to flash with blinding blue light in quick succession before it finally stopped after an hour or so.

Lu Zhen's expression remained calm as he looked at the dim red light, barely visible to the naked eye, with his narrowed crimson gaze.

"It is still not completed?" he thought with a frown on his face.

Lu Zhen used the cleansing feature again; however, after the light died down, the small red light was still visible, showing no apparent depletion.

"Can I not remove this?" he thought with a deeper frown.

"Maybe the red light adapted to my cleansing. Let's try another method." Lu Zhen typed into the mobile in quick succession for another cleansing attempt.

His thoughts swirled in his mind as he critically considered another method.

The red light, just like a virus in a computer, could be directly deleted by instructing the device itself to clean it. Lu Zhen didn't even need the help of a prewritten program; he could do it himself with simple and easy steps.

A green light flashed in the entire room as he looked at the screen with anticipation.

Unfortunately, the last bit of red light seemed to be eternally stuck there, not even rippling in the green.

"What should I do then?" Lu Zhen thought with a frown on his face.

"The higher being wasn't the one who created these things. Instead, it must be another's creation. He just tampered with it on his own and put it in the capsule to make a farm which he could take at any time." This was the conclusion Lu Zhen could come up with.
