Chapter 496: 496, [Swordsmanship Aptitude 10: Natural Sword Embryo]
A gentle breeze blew, stirring Lu Xiaoyu’s long black hair.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and she unconsciously clenched her small hands.
Lu Xiaoyu tried several times to speak, but each time the words seemed to get stuck at her lips, refusing to come out.
The next moment, she saw the figure of the man in a black robe in front of her fade into the distance, then suddenly appear before her again. His warm hand lightly stroked her hair, tousling it into a mess.
This was a gesture that Lu Xun loved to make. Usually, Lu Yu would scowl at him and immediately reach up to smooth her ruffled hair.
But now, Lu Yu simply let her hands hang loosely by her sides, unable to stop herself from bowing her head slightly.
For a moment, she didn’t know if this was a dream or reality.
But no matter whether it was the situation in the Heavenly Dust or the safety of her master, neither of them afforded Lu Xun the luxury to linger here any longer.
His voice was a little hoarse as he spoke softly, “Little Yu, wait for me for a while. It won’t be too long.”
Having said that, he lightly tapped Lu Xiaoyu’s head and disappeared from sight.
In the small forest, Lu Xiaoyu stood in silence for a long time.
It was only after a while that she finally moved.
Raising her right foot, she kicked a small stone on the road with all her might. With her hair hanging down, her face was hidden from view.

There were numerous ancient altars in West State, and just in Lu Xun’s memory, there were seven whose location he knew for sure.
Lu Xun traveled back-and-forth in West State within a day, quickly demolishing all seven altars.
In the process of dismantling them, he also effortlessly killed a large number of lower-level creatures from the Foreign Race.
In the end, he gained 21 Random Special Attribute Points.
“Fourth sister, I need to retreat for a while. You’ll protect me, okay?” Lu Xun said to Mao Nanbei.
“Alright!” Mao Nanbei said as she sat on Lu Xun’s shoulder.
She’d become somewhat numb to her Little Junior Brother’s rapid increase in power.
At first, when Lu Xun was about to surpass her, Mao Nanbei was very nervous.
She trained harder than ever to maintain her dignity as a Senior Sister.
But now that Lu Xun had surpassed her by so much, she kind of gave up.
Whatever Little Junior Brother wants to do, let him do it. No more resistance.
Resigned, Mao Nanbei chose to let it be.
Moreover, she knew well how perilous the current situation was. The decisive battle with the Foreign Race might commence in just a few days.
Under such circumstances, the more powerful Little Junior Brother was, the better.
After Lu Xun sat down in a quiet spot, he began to draw the Random Special Attribute Points.
He had no expectations of drawing “Swordsmanship Aptitude”, as he had enough Contribution Points to exchange for it, so his mood was quite good.
The luck system truly met Lu Xun’s expectations by not letting him draw it.
Out of the 21 Random Special Attribute Points, he drew the following attributes:
“Stick Aptitude+3”
“Gun Aptitude+2”
“All-Around” was a standard operation, each time it had to come in a wave, like a regular program.
“Charm+3”
This made Lu Xun a little speechless because with this, “Charm” would be as high as 8 points! It’s terrifying!
“Knife Dao Talent+2”
“Array Aptitude+3”
“Endurance+3”
“Spiritual Power+2”
“Detection+1”
“Hidden Weapon+2”
Among these attributes, some were quite practical, like “Endurance” and “Spiritual Power”. These could indeed assist in boosting Lu Xun’s overall strength.
