Chapter 718 Can’t Mess With
Nangong Jing contacted Zuoqiu Xunshuang accordingly.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang was at the Shenwu Army HQ. After hearing that Ying Ying was accepting her heritage, she immediately said she would come to take them on the s.h.i.+p. Then, she would return to the Federation too.
After ending the call, a wormhole appeared in the room. Zuoqiu Xunshuang came out of the wormhole. She smiled and waved at the people. “How is the progress of your cultivation lately?”
Thereafter, she looked at Lu Ze and patted his shoulder. “Hahaha! Great job, Ze! You reached the planetary state at 19 years old and created such an amazing phenomenon. The Human Race will be relying on you!”
Lu Ze felt the intense power on his shoulder, and his mouth twitched. Her personality was exactly the same as Nangong Jing’s. They were indeed a pair of mother and daughter. Lu Ze smiled. “Okay, I will continue working hard.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded and rubbed Lu Ze’s hair. “Ze is a really good child.”
Lu Ze: “…”
Nangong Jing didn’t feel that happy after hearing this. “Mom, am I your child, or he is? Why don’t you care about me first?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang put her arm around Nangong Jing’s shoulder. “Look, if you two can be together, then he’s my son.”
Nangong Jing thought about last night’s event and blushed. She quickly changed the topic. “Okay, don’t say these things. Let’s send Ying Ying over first.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang was just casually saying the words but upon seeing Nangong Jing’s abnormal reaction, her eyes glowed up.
Something happened!
Nevertheless, she didn’t ask directly since this was her daughter’s privacy. She would find an opportunity to secretly ask her.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang looked at Ying Ying and the starlight she emitted. “So this is how the heritage of the Star Spirit Race works? By sleeping?”
Nangong Jing nodded. “Mhm, she accepts the heritage while sleeping.” Zuoqiu Xunshuang sighed. “Really admire those super-civilizations. They can become strong even by sleeping.”
Lu Ze and the rest nodded. If sleeping could make them stronger, they might be able to sleep for the entire lifetime.
Nangong Jing carried Ying Ying. Subsequently, Zuoqiu Xunshuang said, “Let’s go.” Lu Ze and the group followed Zuoqiu Xunshuang into the wormhole.
The other end of the wormhole was a room. Zuoqiu Xunshuang said, “We’re inside of a returning s.h.i.+p. You guys can stay in these rooms. I’ll arrange it. Ying Ying can be kept here.”
Nangong Jing laid Ying Ying gently on the bed and put on the blanket for her. Zuogiu Xunshuang smiled. “Jing Jing is like a mother.”
Nangong Jing’s mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes and didn’t want to talk.
Lu Ze and the girls followed Zuoqiu Xunshuang out of the s.h.i.+p. Then, they were taken to a tall building under Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s lead and soon arrived at a large meeting room.
There were tens of young men and women sitting there. They were the young dukes who came this time for the trial.
After staying at the void border for half a year, their chi was much stronger than when they first came. They also seemed more mature.
They were the finest prodigy inside the Federation, but after coming here, they realized it meant nothing. Any random person they see here might be a previous young duke or a prodigy. The missions here were also very hard. This allowed them to get a clear perception of themselves. They were prodigies, but there were many prodigies. If they didn’t work hard, prodigies would become ordinary.

As soon as Lu Ze and the girls arrived, everyone looked over with complicated glances. Lu Ze and his group had their names spread out across the entire void border. What they had done earned the recognition of most young dukes. While they were still arduously doing mortal evolution state missions, the opponents of Lu Ze’s group were planetary states, whose levels got even stronger.
They even heard that Lu Ze broke through to the planetary state yesterday, and the phenomenon he created covered the entire planet.
They felt they were fake prodigies.
Lu Ze and the others glanced around and found a s.p.a.ce to sit on. In front of them was Lin Kuang’s group. Lin Kuang and the rest turned around, looking strangely at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze laughed. “Why are you looking at me like this?”
Lin Kuang’s mouth twitched. “You maniac!”
Daphne rolled her eyes. “Monster!” Lu Ze: “???”
He felt he was cursed. ‘Who did he mess with?’
Derrick went to confirm, “Ze, are you really a planetary state now?”.
Lu Ze smiled. “Doesn’t the forums say so?”
Xuan Yuji said dejectedly, “We just got here today. We missed out yesterday!”
Mo Xie said, “We had to wait for you guys. You took so long to make a breakthrough!”
Daphne’s group felt a little awkward. If it wasn’t for them, the group would have enjoyed the phenomenon.
Daphne giggled. “Ze, bring that out again. We still haven’t enjoyed it yet.”
Lu Ze: “???”
He didn’t even know how he got it out himself.
Nangong Jing said, “Daphne, don’t joke like that. You’re making it difficult for him.”
Daphne looked strangely at Nangong Jing and giggled. “Jing Jing, did something happen between you two?”
Nangong Jing rolled her eyes. “What happened?”
Luo Bingqing looked at Lu Ze and smiled. “Congratulations, your power has surpa.s.sed
us.”
Lu Ze smiled. “Thank you. Congratulations on reaching the planetary state too.”
Luo Bingqing seemed cold, but he was really a nice person. So were the others.
To be a young duke, talent wasn’t the only thing needed. The character should be considered too.
They might be persistent in obtaining more power, but they could still accept being defeated and surpa.s.sed. To them, they just had to work harder. It was due to this that Lu Ze wanted them to be stronger.
Lin Kuang asked, “How is your power after breaking through?”
Lu Ze’s mouth twitched upon seeing that Lin Kuang was keen. This guy wasn’t going to try to spar with him, was he?
How should he answer to avoid hurting his feelings?
Meanwhile, Lin Ling said, “Sister Jing and Hesha combined are no match for him.”
Lin Kuang: “…”
His eagerness instantly disappeared.w
