Chapter 36: Free Flower Pistil

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

There was dead silence in the Third Fighting Arena of West Cloud Academy.

All the audience looked at Lu Mingcheng who had fallen below the stage and was struggling to get up. Then, they looked at Chu Nan on the stage with stunned expressions.

Chu Nan… had actually won?!

What the heck!

Chu Nan was only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, and he was the lowest initial-stage Overlord Body!

How could he defeat an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist like Lu Mingcheng?

Unlike ordinary students, although the teachers in the audience were also shocked by the fact that Chu Nan had defeated Lu Mingcheng, they were more concerned about another matter.

In the end, Chu Nan’s punch that sent Lu Mingcheng flying undoubtedly contained his Internal Breath. Otherwise, with his low-level Overlord Body realm strength, it was impossible for him to have the strength to send Lu Mingcheng flying with a punch.

As teachers of the academy, their knowledge naturally far exceeded the ordinary students beside them. However, they had never heard of an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist being able to unleash Internal Breath with a punch or even send an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist flying.

The teachers looked at each other in confusion.

“What cultivation method does Chu Nan cultivate?” A teacher could not help but ask.

The teachers were silent for a moment before shaking their heads.

Chu Nan was previously ranked at the bottom of the second grade and was an extremely ordinary student. Naturally, he would not attract the attention of the teachers of the other grades, so how could they know what internal cultivation method he cultivated?

However, since Chu Nan was able to fuse his Internal Breath into his moves during the Overlord Body stage of body refinement and send an Internal Breath Martial Artist flying with a punch, the internal cultivation method he cultivated must be extraordinary.

However, there were not many outstanding internal cultivation methods in the Earth Federation. Almost all of them were in the hands of those martial arts families and the military. Chu Nan was only an ordinary student without any background, so how could he learn them?

Rayne stared at Chu Nan for a moment before his heart suddenly stirred.

In the past two days, there was a rumor circulating among the higher-ups of the academy. It was said that Mu Yutong had taken a fancy to Chu Nan and wanted to take him as his disciple.

Could it be that Mu Yutong had imparted the powerful internal cultivation method to Chu Nan, allowing him to perform extremely well in the past two days and far surpass the past?

However, if that was the case, the fact that Chu Nan was able to master the special cultivation method passed to him by Supremacy Mu Yutong in such a short period of time was enough to prove that his martial arts talent was superb. It was as expected of Mu Yutong’s foresight.

The audience below the stage had different thoughts, but Chu Nan, who was on the stage, glanced at Lu Mingcheng who had yet to stand up. He secretly sighed and felt a little regretful.

It was not easy for him to encounter an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist as his opponent in reality. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to spar for a period of time and obtain more precious combat experience, but he did not expect that this punch would inadvertently bring out his Internal Breath. The force was as high as 832.873949 kilograms, and it actually directly sent Lu Mingcheng, who had underestimated his opponent, flying.

He did not gain nothing from this.

When he threw the last punch earlier, Chu Nan originally had the intention to collect data and accumulate experience. He carefully observed and memorized all the relevant physical data. Compared to the experience he had accumulated, it made him feel a little more enlightened.

He believed that if the same battle could happen a few more times, he would definitely have hope of achieving his goal.

…

About 1,200 meters away from the third combat arena was the main administrative building of the West Cloud Academy.

At this moment, in the office of the dean on the top floor of the building, the dean of the West Cloud Academy, Feng Ansheng, and the dean of the Martial Arts Branch, Luo Yuntong, looked at the large screen in front of them with ashen expressions.

On the large screen, Chu Nan was walking down the stage after Torriman announced his victory.

Looking at the group of second-year students excitedly surrounding Chu Nan, Feng Ansheng’s expression was extremely ugly as he turned to look at Luo Yuntong.

“This is the person you found?”

Luo Yuntong’s expression was only uglier than his.

He stared at Chu Nan for a long time before sighing and standing up.

“Forget it. The last chance to deal with him has already disappeared. This matter ends here.”

“Does your Luo family plan to let go of Luo Li’s matter just like that?” Feng Ansheng asked in a deep voice.

Luo Yuntong smiled bitterly, “Mu Yutong and the Seres Security Company have already warned us. Our Luo family can’t provoke these two colossi at the same time.”

Feng Ansheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“It’s one thing for Mu Yutong to interfere, but the Seres Security Company? Why?”

Luo Yuntong frowned as if he did not understand.

“I don’t know. However, two days ago, the person-in-charge of the Seres Security Company stationed on West Cloud Planet asked someone to bring a message. Although he did not say it explicitly, the meaning was that he hoped that our Luo family would not touch Chu Nan.”

“This Chu Nan is clearly a rural farmer with no background. Why is he related to the Seres Security Company?” Feng Ansheng was puzzled.

Luo Yuntong shook his head and did not answer. He turned around and walked out of the dean’s office.

Just as he reached the door, Feng Ansheng suddenly spoke again, “I heard that you’ve already met Mu Yutong?”

Luo Yuntong’s body shook slightly. He paused for a moment and turned to look at Feng Ansheng. After a moment of silence, he said seriously, “Mu Yutong represents the will of the Federation’s joint council this time. Our Luo family has no choice. Dean Feng, please consider it carefully.”

Feng Ansheng sneered, “What? Your Luo family took the initiative to give up resisting and want to come over and lobby our Feng family now?”

“I only advised because we’ve worked together for many years and are all old friends on West Cloud Planet. I don’t have the right to care if Dean Feng and your Feng family are willing to accept it.”

After saying this, Luo Yuntong pulled open the door and directly left.

Feng Ansheng sat in his huge chair and thought for a while in silence. He turned to look at the large screen that had already begun to broadcast the next match, his expression uncertain.

…

“Heh, Chu Nan, in order to celebrate your victory and obtain the spot, I’ll treat you to a meal today. How about it?”

Dong Fang turned around and realized that Chu Nan was connected to the game data of Martial Soul. He was immediately overjoyed.

“Kid, are you really addicted now?”

“Yes, I really need to fight a large number of experts now. Clearly, it’s most suitable to enter the Martial Soul.”

“Oh? Why?” Dong Fang asked curiously. “You weren’t such a martial arts fanatic in the past, right? Did you really become obsessed with martial arts because you suddenly broke through the Nine Revolutions Technique?”

“Something like that.” Chu Nan vaguely explained and ignored Dong Fang as he eagerly entered Martial Soul.

A moment later, his consciousness appeared in the virtual space of Martial Soul.

As soon as he adapted to the environment, Chu Nan received a few notifications.

Flipping it open, he saw that there were a few messages from the system. They were congratulating him for obtaining the achievement of a hundred consecutive wins, obtaining the title of “Hundred Kills”, and obtaining the corresponding reward given by the system.

Chu Nan had long confirmed the choices of these rewards and did not hesitate to choose the reward of 10,000 federation coins.

Soon, he received the notification of 10,000 federation coins on his personal terminal.

When he saw the additional numbers on his personal account, Chu Nan immediately became excited.

“Great. I didn’t expect that just by playing a game, I could easily earn 13,000 federation coins. If I had known that I could earn money like this, I wouldn’t have had to work so hard last year.”

However, he thought about it and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Before this, he had always been a useless person who had only barely cultivated the initial-stage Overlord Body. After entering the Martial Soul, he would only be tyrannical. How could he have the qualifications to earn money here?

After deleting these relatively obvious system messages, Chu Nan noticed another private message.

“Who will send me private messages? That kid Dong Fang doesn’t have to…”

Chu Nan opened this private message in bewilderment and discovered that it should have been sent before he went offline. It was a message that he had applied to be a friend. It came from an ID called “Free Flower Pistil”.

“Who’s this Free Flower Pistil?” Chu Nan thought for a moment and confirmed that he did not have any impression of this ID. Moreover, other than Dong Fang, the only other people he knew in Martial Soul were the two girls, Luo Lan and Rose. They were both unrelated to this person, so he bluntly rejected it.

After casually closing the information panel, Chu Nan immediately chose to start a random match.

After carefully studying the rules of Martial Soul, Chu Nan knew that he had two choices if he wanted to fight with the true experts in Martial Soul.

The first was to win a number of matches and increase one’s level. From there, one could join higher-level matches and might be matched with high-level opponents.

The second was to work hard to increase the winning rate. When the winning rate increased, in order to maintain balance and make the battle more meaningful, the system would match one with stronger opponents.

No matter what one he chose, to put it bluntly, it was the same method. That was… to fight!
