Chapters [203-204]

Chapter 203. Worse Than Nangong Jing

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

After playing the clip scene by scene, Lu Ze didn't feel well.

Wasn't this the graduation trial clip??

Which bastard uploaded this??

Feeling the strange glances cast upon him by everyone, Lu Ze felt worse.

He was too naive. He just wanted to get the ingredients back for Alice to cook delicious food. He didn't think about the live stream.

Lu Ze felt lifeless. Probably a lot of people in the federation would see this clip?

Him being a great food lover was finally exposed?

Although Lin Ling had seen this clip at school before, she still felt it was funny after seeing it again.

Her shoulders kept shaking as she laughed and brought other people to laugh as well.

Lu Ze speechlessly glanced at them. "What's so funny? Keep laughing, and I won't ever give you good food again!"

Lu Ze gave them Alice's delicious food before. How can they laugh like that?

Wasn't Xuan Yuqi an ice-cold beauty?

Why was she laughing like this?

Ian finally stopped laughing in embarrassment. Then, he suddenly thought of something. "People in the comments are discussing if Lu Ze would be appointed as a young duke. Can Ze really be appointed as a young duke?"

Ye Mu and the others stopped laughing and exchanged glances with each other.

Becoming a young duke was their biggest goal currently.

Yet, Lu Ze already had the possibility of realizing it.

Ye Mu smiled. "Even if he isn't appointed as a young duke this time, with Ze's power, he can definitely be appointed before graduation. I really want to know what Ze's title would be."

Everyone's face became strange.

Lin Ling joked, "Of course, it will be named after Ze's special trait. For example, Upside-down Planting Young Duke or Foodie Young Duke?"

"Wait!"

Lu Ze's heart went cold after hearing this.

"Why not Wind Young Duke, Fire Young Duke, or Wind and Fire Young Duke!"

He didn't want either of the titles that Lin Ling mentioned.

Tianyuan Qianhua laughed. "How do you think Teacher Nangong got her title?"

Lu Ze: "…"

Even Iron Fist Young Duke was better than Upside-down Planting Young Duke.

"Give up, it's useless. The young duke title is decided by the public. The one with the most votes will be your young duke title."

Xuan Yuqi said, "Do you know how Blue Flower Fruit Young Duke got her title? It's because she bought 5 kilograms of blue flower fruit, and on the day of voting, the shop owner thought of this title and sent out a photo. This got everyone's agreement."

Xuan Yuqi sighed. "On the day of the young duke title voting, she cried. She wanted to fight with that fruit shop owner."

Lu Ze: "…"

There was a young duke title worse than Nangong Jing?

He felt very complicated right now.

Lu Ze suddenly felt this world was cold. He could feel the pain of that Blue Flower Fruit Young Duke. It was a hefty price to pay for buying fruits…

Even Lin Ling and the rest fell silent as their smile disappeared.

This was too scary.

They were shaking. If they had the luck to become a young duke, would they have such a strange title?

Lu Ze coughed. "It's okay, there's nothing to do now. Shouldn't everyone go back to cultivation instead?"

Lu Ze needed some time for himself, and he went back to his room.

Then, Lu Ze wondered if Lu Li and the others saw the report. He didn't tell them about the war. Would they be angry?

No, he must go say something. He was very strong.

Lu Ze happily took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat.

Lu Ze: "These few days I went to a group battle, I was very strong!"

Lu Li: "Haha."

Alice: "Mhm, Senior schoolmate, we all know. We were watching the live stream."

Lu Li and Alice replied instantly.

Their replies made Lu Ze break out in a cold sweat. Broadcast?

So, there was broadcast for war?

Shocking!

Lu Ze didn't even know about this. If he did, he would've told them at the start.

Lu Li didn't seem to be in a good mood, but Alice was more normal.

Lu Ze: "Did you see how I blew up the blade demon base?"

Lu Li: "Mhm, there was a very vibrant splash of blood."

Alice: "Senior schoolmate was so heavily injured. I was too nervous and didn't notice."

Lu Ze's mouth twitched.

These two only saw how he was bleeding out and not how invincible he was?

This wasn't too good.

Lu Ze felt disappointed.

At this moment more messages came.

Lu Li: "Brother, are your injuries better?"

Alice: "Senior schoolmate, are your injuries better?"

Lu Ze smiled and replied.

Lu Ze: "It's fine. I have a new [God Art]. It can repair injuries. As long as I don't die, I can recover quickly."

On planet Lan Jiang, Lu Li frowned at Alice's message.

Next door, Alice's eyes flashed when she saw Lu Li's message.

However, they both felt relieved, seeing Lu Ze's reply.

After all, Merlin confirmed that day that Lu Ze had [Regeneration God Art], but without getting Lu Ze's personal confirmation, they were still worried.

Then, they chatted about Lu Ze's news coverage.

Lu Ze told them about his worry for his young duke title, seeking comfort.

Their replies made Lu Ze's heart go cold.

Lu Li: I feel Controlling Brother Young Duke is good?

Alice: Senior schoolmate, Senior schoolmate, I think Foodie Young Duke is very good!!"

Lu Ze: "???"

What else could he say?

He was no controlling brother.

Did Lu Li hate him this much?

Lu Ze felt sad.

It hurt even more when the cute and nice Alice thought that Foodie Young Duke was good!?

Shocking!

How was it good?!

Lu Li and Alice smiled at the conversation.

At this moment, they both had a bold idea.

Lu Ze suddenly felt cold. Lu Ze clutched his blanket tightly.

He felt he couldn't keep chatting, and, thus he chose to run away.

Who knows what strange title they would think of?

Lu Ze then called his mother, and after facing a load of criticism, Lu Ze shakily hung up and messaged his dad too.

After reporting his safety, he put away his phone and breathed.

He didn't know there was such a thing as war site.

After thinking for a moment, that coldness seemed to have gone away. Thus, he sat up.

He smiled. He obtained quite a lot yesterday!

[Wind and Lightning God Art Crystal Balls]. Would that increase his power by another Aperture?

Cultivation, cultivation!

Lu Ze closed his eyes and went into his mental dimension. The flame from the male lion was completely gone. His [Fire God Art] could no longer improve.

Compared to the [Wind God Art], his [Fire God Art] was still much stronger. However, he had no means to obtain a [Fire Crystal Ball].

He hadn't encountered a beast with [Fire God Art] yet.

He had a new way to improve his [Wind God Art]. It would soon surpass the [Fire God Art].

If Lu Ze used all of his power, his combat power would be around five Apertures.

However, using all his [God Art] exerted huge pressure on his body and had high requirements for energy. It wasn't sustainable.

From the looks of the battle last night, it would be, at most, half an hour before he would lose his combat power.

Lu Ze glanced at the two [God Art Crystal Balls] and smiled.

Which one should he use first?

Chapter 204. The Golden Sun

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

In the end, Lu Ze chose [Lightning Crystal Orb].

The power of lightning seemed very interesting. Lu Ze was curious.

He used his mental force, and the [Lightning Orb] disappeared. Subsequently, a powerful energy surged inside Lu Ze.

The energy flowed around his body, and Lu Ze could feel the lightning sparks in his cells. His body was getting numb. His organs were failing. Even breathing proved to be difficult.

His lively cells were beginning to die under the continuous attacks of the lightning.

His body was paralyzed, but severe pain could still be felt. Cold sweats appear on Lu Ze's forehead.

He frowned and quickly used a [Purple Orb]. His mind cleared up, and he began learning all the information contained in the [Lightning Orb].

Four hours later, small sparks appeared on Lu Ze's body.

Lu Ze's tightly shut eyes slowly opened. The bottom flashed with purple lightning.

He breathed and reached out his right hand. Bolts of purple lightning appeared. They burst with light hums and contained powerful and destructive chi.

Lu Ze raised a brow and closed his hand into a fist. The lightning disappeared.

Just like the [Regeneration God Art], the level of the [God Art] was too low. Its usability was far weaker than the [Wind and Fire God Arts]. If he only used [Lightning God Art], his battle power would only reach the Core Martial State.

It was really weak. Lu Ze was speechless. At least, the [Regeneration God Art] could be used to recover, despite the recovery speed not being very fast.

But what could the [Lightning God Art] do? Charge some power?

Lu Ze couldn't help but feel a little sad about the [Lightning God Art]. It was a very powerful [God Art], and if other people acquired it, they would be overjoyed.

However, he had too many [God Arts], and he had quite some mastery in all of them. By the looks of it, he could only use [Lightning God Art] to act cool now and crush Lin Ling's spirit.

Surely he was strong?

It was not extremely good. Suddenly, he was getting cocky.

He was just heavily injured yesterday, and he had already forgotten the consequences.

Lu Ze shook his head.

Cultivation, cultivation.

[Pocket Hunting Dimension] was the best cure for arrogance.

He was in there every day anyway, so it didn't matter.

Lu Ze started using the [Wind Crystal Ball].

He was used to the wind, and so, there was no pain at all while using the orb. It felt satisfying rather.

Three hours later, Lu Ze opened his eyes.

He opened his right hand. Wind surged, and it rapidly turned into a whirlwind.

Air was distorted in a mess. A green light flashed in Lu Ze's eyes, and the wind dissipated.

Lu Ze sighed. His [Wind God Art] wasn't weak now. The progress that the [Crystal Ball] gave him couldn't be as huge as before.

But, he could feel the increase in power.

He would work on his spirit force cultivation first.

As for [God Art], if he encountered Aperture Opening State Beasts with [God Art], then there was [God Art] for him.

Lu Ze felt his face. He had cultivated for seven hours in a row. He felt quite hungry.

He thought about how those guys were laughing at him, so he had decided to not give them food.

He would eat it by himself!

After enjoying the food, Lu Ze stretched and looked outside the window

There were constantly ships landing and flying up. The patrol squads also came and went. In the distance, there were soldiers training.

Lu Ze suddenly wondered if the spirit metal was transported.

They should be transported to the head base, right?

He suddenly thought of the person who disappeared. Was that [Invisibility God Art]?

That was a really shameless [God Art]!

Lu Ze felt he needed to be friends with her. Can she use her [God Art] on someone else?

Lu Ze quickly stopped fathoming. He felt this didn't suit his good boy nature.

Lu Ze enjoyed the view for a while and relaxed before sitting back down to cultivate.

This time, Lu Ze used an [Aperture Opening State Red Orb] to cultivate.

The two Aperture Opening State dropped 11 orbs yesterday. It was enough for his cultivation today.

Lu Ze's spirit force cultivation level increased rapidly.

Originally, he needed a few days to increase his spirit force cultivation level, but he improved greatly due to the war. When the sky dimmed, he had improved once again.

Lu Ze opened his eyes and smiled.

He had reached level six of the Abstruse Martial State!

He was very happy with the spirit force inside him.

If this continued, his spirit force cultivation level would be able to catch up soon.

He got up and stretched. His bones cracked and instantly felt great.

He slowly walked out and found the living room to be dark. Clearly, everyone else was still cultivating.

This was understandable. Their eyes were probably green from how much he improved.

Lu Ze planned to go out for a stroll, but as soon as he went out, he saw several soldiers. They all saluted to him with faces full of admiration. This made him instantly go back to his room.

There was no way he was going out. He was going to stay in this life in the room.

Lu Ze rolled around in bed and felt bored. He once again sat down and entered the [Pocket Hunting Dimension].

With the familiar smell and wind, he became excited. He instantly opened hunting mode.

Lu Merciless Ze was back.

He grinned and chose a random direction to go in. He killed Core Martial State beasts while looking for Aperture Opening State beasts.

He felt he would definitely find something today.

A day and night passed, and Lu Ze's expectant smile dissipated.

He found a few bosses, but he hid away. As for Aperture Opening State who devoured [God Arts], he didn't find a single one.

When the sun rose up again, Lu Ze lay low on the ground, not daring to move at all. A few kilometers ahead, there were six lightning warhorses running.

They seemed to be playing on the grass. Everywhere they went, lightning flashed, and the earth hummed.

It was a pack of bosses.

At this moment, a golden sun appeared in the sky.

It swiped past the sky at a rapid speed. Everywhere it went, space twisted and grass instantly turned to ash. The ground was scorched.

Lu Ze only glanced at the golden sun once, and he sunk into the darkness.

The last thing he saw was the family of lightning warhorses burning in golden flames.

Lu Ze woke up sweating.

He panted heavily for a while before recovering.

That golden sun was probably stronger than the six-winged black dragon he saw when he was a noob.

Lu Ze felt his soul was instantly burned up.

That was a super boss!

Resting for an hour, Lu Ze finally recovered.

He thought with his luck it would be good. He didn't expect his luck to be this good.

Lu Ze wondered if that thing could burn an entire planet outside.

Lu Ze shook his head. He didn't get any [God Art] and thus began cultivating again.

…

When Lu Ze opened his eyes again, it was the next day. The base seemed even busier than yesterday.

Quite some soldiers came.

He cleaned himself and had breakfast. He noticed that Ye Mu and the others were still cultivating, so he went back to his room for cultivation.

After some time, Lu Ze heard the sound of the military communicator. He opened his eyes and looked at the message.

The special squad was back. The high-level officials have finished the discussions on military arrangement. Lu Ze and the rest were ordered to assemble.
