Chapter 179: Lu Xun, Who Went Viral Across the Net

Capital front line.

The insect tide surged from all directions, launching a fierce attack on the capital.

The most troublesome thing about the insect race is their terrifying numbers.

The capital is vast,

but now, all four directions of the capital are surrounded by the insect tide.

In the sky, new insect warships keep falling down.

These insect warships are growing larger and larger.

This means the insect wormhole hidden deep in space is expanding.

The larger the insect warship, the more insects it carries.

Inside an insect warship several kilometers long, the number of insects can reach millions.

The endless arrival of insect warships makes it feel as if killing wave after wave of insects still cannot end them, even if the capital slays them repeatedly.

Fighting the insect race is this desperate.

This is merely a nest that the insect race has cultivated from a nest left at this ancient road node.

If it were the insect race itself, it would be even harder to deal with.

Of course, the main reason is that too many human experts above the Six Realms have perished; otherwise these insects couldn't stir up any trouble.

Compared to the dark beast tide encountered in the dark void, the insect tide is far less fierce, yet it has still been held back.

"Boom!"

On the front line, Cheng Gang and Lv Zhan et al. were fighting desperately, bloodied.

Liu Changfeng and Jin Yuhua et al. could also be seen.

These students from prestigious schools were basically all fighting in the same place.

They had been doing well at school, not coming to join the defense.

After seeing Lu Xun's battle video in Tongcheng, Cheng Gang was the first to take action.

Upon hearing the news, the other Four Realms students couldn't hold back either.

The school naturally worried and did not let them leave the capital.

So they fought on the capital's front line.

"Junior schoolmate, take a break; we'll take over here."

Someone came up to rotate.

These are some graduated Qingbei students.

Although they have graduated, their strength is only at the Four Realms level, and they cannot match Cheng Gang and the others in talent.

Talent is also divided into three-six-nine grades.

Cheng Gang and his group are the top tier of the pyramid.

As for Lu Xun, he is in the atmosphere.

"Refreshing, as I said, we should have come out long ago; the school has overprotected us, making us as fragile as greenhouse flowers. Only fighting like this now feels exhilarating."

Lv Zhan has a bold personality and a loud voice.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Jin Yuhua let out a soft "huh".

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Gang was curious.

"Lu Xun... he seems to have done something remarkable again."

Jin Yuhua exclaimed in surprise.

"What?"

The other students immediately couldn't sit still, gathering around.

"He killed a Five Realms Shadow Clan person?!!!???"

Soon they learned why Jin Yuhua was shocked.

Lu Xun actually killed a Five Realms Shadow Clan person.

"Hiss!"

"Hahaha, I knew Lu Xun would eventually cause a big commotion."

Cheng Gang laughed loudly.

"Five Realms..."

Liu Changfeng's eyes also showed surprise.

Although surprised, he remained neither happy nor sad, his eyes flickering.

He was calculating whether, if he used his trump card, he could also take down a Five Realms Shadow Clan person.

Finally, he reached a conclusion.

"Difficult!"

Although these troublemakers who came to Lan Xing to cause chaos are not the geniuses of their respective races,

Those who can reach the Five Realms each have some unique traits.

Shadow Clan persons are also widely recognized as hard to kill.

Even if he uses some over-the-top trump cards, such as sixth-grade talismans or techniques belonging to the Six Realms,

It might not necessarily be possible to kill them.

Such external things ultimately do not belong to oneself.

Using it also requires seizing the right timing.

Back then, Wei Guangyao possessed a sixth‑grade spirit talisman in the cellar secret realm; it could pose a tremendous threat, even kill a Fifth Realm cultivator.

Even when facing a Blood Dark at the Half‑Step Fifth Realm, Wei Guangyao did not dare to use it rashly.

Simply because he lacked absolute confidence.

Liu Changfeng actually had a similar trump card at that time.

He never used it until the very end.

Likewise, it was because he lacked full confidence.

The same goes for Half‑Step Fifth Realm cultivators.

What about the Fifth Realm?

Although the Liu family recently gave Liu Changfeng many more trump cards, he still had little confidence in killing a Fifth Realm cultivator.

If the opponent discovers his trump card is too strong to match head‑on, can't he just flee?

If a Fifth Realm cultivator wants to flee, Liu Changfeng would find it hard to stop them.

"He's practically a monster; I don't know if Xinghe can catch up to him."

Liu Changfeng thought of Liu Xinghe again.

After entering this nebula, Liu Xinghe's strength grew extremely rapidly.

Liu Changfeng originally thought Liu Xinghe had a certain chance to achieve a comeback this time.

Surpassing Lu Xun would naturally mean surpassing him, Liu Changfeng.

But now, Liu Changfeng is no longer so certain.

"Damn it!"

Some rejoice, others worry.

Upon hearing this news, Wei Guangyao's face instantly darkened with storm clouds.

"No matter how strong you are, you're only one person; once we enter the Rainbow Bridge, our Wei family's dozens of people will surely find a spirit object that will greatly boost my strength…"

Wei Guangyao placed his hopes on the Ancient Road Node.

The Wei family is the number one clan in the Northeast region, with countless talents throughout the family.

Their experience in exploring the Ancient Road Node is also extraordinarily rich, each time yielding a good harvest.

A few years ago, when Wei Guangyao was still young, those spoils never fell to him.

This time, it's his turn!

"What!! This is impossible!"

On another front, some also shouted that it was impossible, unable to accept the news for a long time.

For example, Wang Tengyun of the Wang family.

As for Lin Yan, every time he hears news of Lu Xun, this guy can only bitterly smile.

Now Lu Xun has become an existence that requires him to look up at a 90‑degree angle.

He instead felt relieved; lately he no longer hangs out with He Xiao, but trains alone in silence.

Before, he would occasionally spar with Li Bu Fan.

But lately Li Bu Fan's strength has surpassed his, and he may soon not even qualify to be Li Bu Fan's opponent.

"Wow, Mom, Big Brother Lu Xun has gotten even stronger!"

Tong Cheng.

As the video spread online, the little girl Lu Xun once saved also came across it.

"Mm, Niu Niu, Big Brother will always be the strongest."

The little girl's mother is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand how great the difference between the Fourth Realm and the Fifth Realm really is.

In her mother's eyes, Lu Xun is simply synonymous with invincibility.

So she isn't as shocked as a cultivator would be.

But the fact that they saw it shows the news has already spread widely online.

"This kid's not bad; besides saving so many people in Tong Cheng, he's now killed such a formidable foreign‑race person."

"Yeah, how else could we say our nation's fortune thrives? We're always able to produce such talent."

"I never expected that, even as I'm about to meet my end, I could still see such a remarkable youngster—this is Heaven helping our China."

In a remote small town, several elders sat at the street‑corner "information station," discussing none other than Lu Xun.

They likewise couldn't clearly tell how big the gap between the Fourth and Fifth Realms really is.

All they know is that the internet calls Lu Xun extremely awesome.

With so many people saying Lu Xun is awesome, in their view he truly is awesome.

Each of those elders praised Lu Xun without cease.

"Isn't this the youngster I gave a ride to a few months ago?"

Rong Cheng, a taxi driver glanced at his phone screen at a red light and suddenly stopped the car.

After staring at Lu Xun's image on the screen again and again, he became excited.

Because Lu Xun was exactly the passenger he had driven a few months earlier.

That time, there were also assassins and Shadow‑Clan members coming to kill Lu Xun, but Lu Xun turned the tables and killed them instead.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The passenger in the back seat asked.

"Haha, it's fine, I'm just feeling a bit happy today—I'll waive this fare for you."

The driver's mood was very good.

"Ah? Master, is there some happy news?"

The passenger was happy, yet also curious.

"That's right, you know Lu Xun, right? He's the genius who guards Paulownia City with a single sword..."

"I know, of course I know—I saw that video, it was so cool, Master, do you know him?"

"It's more than just knowing him—a few months ago I even went through life and death with him; back then I knew this young man would definitely have a bright future."

The driver, as if he'd taken a stimulant, spoke enthusiastically to the passenger about events from a few months ago.

It made the passenger feel especially thrilled.

These past days, after Lu Xun's video from Paulownia City went viral, it left a deep impression on many people.

People tend to pay attention only to things related to themselves.

Other geniuses are just geniuses.

No matter how amazing, they are still distant figures.

To ordinary people, they are merely a name.

But Lu Xun is different.

Such a monstrous genius, yet he dares to risk his life to protect ordinary people.

This naturally arouses people's empathy, making them unconsciously pay more attention to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun has thus become very popular these days.

The number of people interested in Lu Xun naturally is also increasing.

"Master, what are you happy about again just now?"

After hearing that, the passenger asked.

"Of course I'm happy for Lu Xun—you didn't know, he's gotten even stronger and even killed a very powerful foreigner."

"Ah? He's gotten that strong?"

After hearing the news, the passenger was both shocked and astonished, and began chatting with the driver.

That day, there were still many people like them.

The news that Lu Xun had killed a Five Realms Shadow Clan person spread like a gust of wind.

That wasn't the end of it.

Soon, another piece of gossip emerged.

It said that Lu Xun used himself as bait, luring a large number of foreigners to come kill him, but the Martial Manor netted them all, even killing a Six Realms foreigner.

"Holy cow!"

"Lu Xun's move is way too cool!"

"I would call him the strongest."

"Lu Xun: Today, I, Young Master Lu, will foot the bill for all the foreigners."

When this news came out, Lu Xun's popularity surged further, making him instantly explode across the internet.

Online, a large number of videos about Lu Xun also appeared.

Many videos begin with a golden saying passed down from the old era: 'Pay attention, this man is called Lu Xun...'

Lu Xun's name has now truly broken out of its niche.
