Chapter 178

The king's man!

Barbara's words almost made Lu Xun unable to hold back.

Is this plan drawn a bit too big?

I'm serious!

Seeing Lu Xun unconvinced, Barbara said very seriously.

But she happens to be a cat now.

This little expression really made Lu Xun unable to hold back a laugh.

Lu Xun couldn't bear to strike her, so he nodded: 'I know.'

I have sworn by my true name; this oath is unbreakable. Believe me, as long as you help me return to Asitela Xing, the benefits you gain will absolutely be greater than those on Lan Xing.

Barbara did her utmost to persuade Lu Xun.

There's no way; she really wants to go home.

If I help you return to Asitela Xing, can I still come back?

Of course, if you can catch up to Asitela Xing via the star gate, you can return to Lan Xing; if that's really impossible, you can wait at the ancient road node, and as long as Lan Xing isn't destroyed, it will eventually come.

Wait.

Lu Xun suddenly thought of something.

Is there a cost to using the star gate?

He asked.

Of course there is; activating a star gate once requires at least ten thousand cubic meters of Dark Energy, and you also need to decipher its method of use. Each ancient road node is equally perilous, so I actually have no hope for you at this node; I just set a goal for you, and I fear you'll only be able to help me after reaching the Six Realms or higher.

Barbara said.

At least ten thousand cubic meters of Dark Energy!

Good grief,

At this stage, where can Lu Xun find so much Dark Energy?

With the help of the Dark Energy Tide, he only absorbed a few thousand cubic meters of Dark Energy.

Don't forget, this is just the Dark Energy needed to activate one star gate.

Asitela Xing is ahead of Lan Xing by more than ten nodes.

We don't know how many times the star gate must be used.

Even if each node is used once, that would still be more than ten times.

Lu Xun also needs to plan for the Dark Energy needed to return.

He cannot stay on Asitela Xing.

If we can really reach Asitela Xing and let Barbara ascend to queen, the Dark Energy for the return should not be a problem.

However, Lu Xun feels this matter isn't that simple.

Who knows if there are any other stories in this.

Barbara was fine; how could she fall asleep at the ancient road node?

There definitely is a story!

Even if Barbara returns to Asitela Xing, it's probably not that easy for her to smoothly ascend to queen.

So, this matter needs long-term planning.

Barbara, is Asitela Xing a queen-ruled state?

Lu Xun began to inquire about the situation.

No, both men and women can be king; it mainly depends on lineage, and my lineage is the strongest, so as long as I return, I can become the heir to the throne.

And how many siblings do you have?

Of course, the royal family doesn't have few descendants.

If we marry, I'm human; can we have offspring together?

Lu Xun's words left Barbara silent.

Between different species, there is reproductive isolation.

For example, between cats and dogs, there will absolutely be no offspring.

Some species also have similar reproductive isolation.

But some species can interbreed and produce hybrid offspring.

For example, there was once a human woman who was violated by a demon, conceived a demon fetus, and gave birth to a being with both human and demon blood—a demon.

Meow~

Just as Lu Xun thought Barbara was stumped by his question.

Barbara let out a 'meow'.

Alright.

Her time is up.

Star gate.

Lu Xun was still hearing for the first time that there is a star gate on the ancient road node.

We don't know if any powerful humans know of the star gate's existence.

Lu Xun feels there should be.

But such secrets won't be revealed to the masses.

Who built these star gates?

Another question followed.

If there are star gates, who built these star gates capable of crossing the starry sky?

From what Babala said, star gates should be a very ancient existence.

This world has too many secrets.

With Lu Xun's current strength, wanting to figure out these problems is almost impossible.

So, Lu Xun didn't think much about it.

"Little guy, are you hungry?"

Lu Xun came to the cultivation chamber and fed a big ball of Phoenix True Fire to the fire worm in the alchemy furnace.

After the fire worm slowly ate it, it slept contentedly.

This little guy, eating then sleeping, sleeping then eating, can be called the happiest worm in the world.

After feeding the fire worm, Lu Xun picked up his phone and called Chu Youqing.

These days, he hasn't had much contact with Chu Youqing.

But every day he sends a message to report his safety.

There's no way; Chu Youqing knows he went out to support elsewhere, so she's very worried about him.

Not only Chu Youqing,

Murong Wan also knows Lu Xun is outside.

She rarely sent Lu Xun a message asking about the situation.

So, when Lu Xun sends Chu Youqing a message to report safety each day, he also sends her one by the way.

After receiving the message, Murong Wan basically doesn't reply.

But Lu Xun knows she definitely saw it.

After a long phone call with Chu Youqing, it was already evening.

Lu Xun took a shower and then went back to the bedroom to fall asleep snoring loudly.

These days, he's really been a bit tired.

Before entering the Rainbow Bridge, Lu Xun prepares to try again to see if he can find the worms hidden underground on Lan Xing.

Only by finding these worms can the insect plague problem be completely solved.

Otherwise, the insect plague will keep coming endlessly.

"Wow, look, another video related to Lu Xun has appeared online."

While Lu Xun was sleeping.

Online, another video about Lu Xun popped up again.

A student happened to see it and immediately forwarded it to a student group.

After forwarding it, he then opened the video to watch.

My god!

Upon seeing this,

That student almost jumped up.

The video happens to show Lu Xun, after being attacked by a fifth-realm alien clan, withstanding attacks from two fifth-realm alien clans, and fiercely killing a fifth-realm shadow clan.

The videographer was far away.

However, the video is fairly clear.

Perhaps worried that others wouldn't understand the strengths of both sides in the battle, he thoughtfully added some textual explanations.

For example, the identities were marked on the bodies of the several fifth-realm combatants who made a move.

"Really? Can Lu Xun now kill a fifth-realm being?"

"That's too crazy."

"I don't think so; it's just a video, how can you prove those three are fifth-realm?"

When that student opened the group he had just shared to, he found people already chatting in it.

"What, Lu Xun killed a fifth-realm being?"

More students were startled and all went to watch the video.

"Do you think it's real?"

The student who first discovered the video asked.

Although he was the first to discover the video, because the matter is too unbelievable, he actually feels it's not real.

"I feel it's real; look at 3:08, the demon clan's move is incredibly powerful, something a fourth-realm couldn't have."

"Also at 4:32, an arrow from a fifth-realm wing clan member exploded a building, which a fourth-realm couldn't do."

"Also at 5:03..."

In the group, a late third-realm student began analyzing point by point.

If it were an ordinary school's student, having hardly seen any fourth-realm beings, with limited vision, they wouldn't be able to make such a detailed analysis.

But Qingbei students are well-informed; even though they themselves are only third-realm, they have seen quite a few fourth- and fifth-realm beings.

So, this student's analysis quickly gained others' agreement.

"Indeed, the senior's analysis makes good sense."

"Do you think the video itself could be faked?"

"Not really, because there are several angles of video; this is the situation when Lu Xun supported Mengcheng."

The students discussed it heatedly.

More and more students joined the discussion.

This matter, even for Qingbei students, is extremely shocking.

Kill a Fifth Realm!

Fifth Realm, how could it be so easy to kill?

Even if everyone at Pure North is a genius, with more trump cards than outside students, killing a Fifth Realm is still not easy.

But Lu Xun did it.

This is more shocking than Lu Xun winning first place in the Secret Realm Assessment and killing a half-step Fifth Realm Blood Ming.

A half-step Fifth Realm is ultimately only a half-step.

What's more, Blood Ming's combat power has been crippled.

This time Lu Xun killed a genuine Fifth Realm.

And now, the Secret Realm Assessment is just over two months away, still less than three months.

From the video, it looks like Lu Xun used many trump cards to kill a Shadow Clan Fifth Realm, but no matter what trump cards he used, withstanding the siege of two Fifth Realms and killing a Shadow Clan Fifth Realm with many means is itself unbelievable.

In the student group, a senior at late Third Realm gave a summary.

And while they were discussing the results, this matter had already spread across North Dipper University's campus network and all student groups.

Hiss~

I originally thought Fourth Realm was his limit, but I didn't expect he could now kill a Fifth Realm~

Terrifying like a demon~

This world is too crazy!

For a moment, the entire North Dipper University didn't know how many students were shocked by Lu Xun.

It's not that no students doubted the truth of this matter.

But as Pure North students, these students all have their own discernment.

The analysis from the first student group also spread out.

It made these students instantly feel that the credibility of this matter is very high.

Moreover, Lu Xun's astonishing performance over the past half year has practically become synonymous with 'miracle'.

In the eyes of many students, Lu Xun seems capable of doing anything astonishing.

How is that possible!

In the cultivation chamber, He Xiao's face was full of disbelief.

These days, He Xiao's injuries have finally healed.

He didn't stay at home but was sent to school.

This time, the He family obtained a large quota to enter the Rainbow Bridge, preparing for a big showdown, but the He family's strong ones had no energy to protect him.

He Xiao paid special attention to news about Lu Xun.

Now Lu Xun has become his heart demon.

These days Lu Xun has been out there, He Xiao has been hoping every day for a bug disaster or foreign tribespeople to kill Lu Xun.

He waited and waited,

waiting until his eyes were strained, yet he couldn't wait for news of Lu Xun's death.

Instead, he awaited such shocking news.

Lu Xun... killed a Fifth Realm foreign tribesperson!

This damn,

Since the last time he was seriously injured, his cultivation has made no progress at all.

In contrast, Lu Xun is like spring shoots after rain, rising steadily.

Now he can even kill a Fifth Realm!

He also saw the analyses of other students at school.

He Xiao also felt that Lu Xun used many external means, employing some powerful trump cards.

But no matter how many trump cards he used, Lu Xun could produce so many trump cards and maximize their effect; killing a Fifth Realm is a fact.

Killed is killed.

Who said combat must be fought barehanded?

"Why would Father stop Grandfather from personally going to kill Lu Xun? Those Fusang people are completely unreliable, and after so long there's still no movement..."

He Xiao's heart is so anxious.

If this continues, even the whole He family combined might not be a match for Lu Xun.

He doesn't know yet that the Fusang people have already been counter-killed by Lu Xun.

Many pieces of news from the Martial Manor will not be announced to the outside.

He Xiao also doesn't know that Lu Xun killed a Shadow Clan Fifth Realm not by external force, but by his own solid strength in slaying that Shadow Clan Fifth Realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how anxious he would become.

However, he is right about one thing.

If this continues, even all the members of the He family added together aren't enough for Lu Xun to kill.
