Chapter 447: Hades
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhi Wei and Li Yixiao stood in silence, ten meters away from the bug wave. However, it seemed that they had ceased all actions, not because they were unwilling to fight, nor was it because the beetles were dying out, but that they simply did not even know how to help…
Lu Shu’s golden wave pranced about in the inky bug flood, like a lively performance of Lion Dancing during festive seasons…
All beetles, upon contact with the divine water, were burned to death and reduced to crumbles. Due to its distaste of those insects, the golden snake kept swimming about in the water so as to maintain its distance. But after Lu Shu unleashed his full strength, the shape and orientation of the divine water started to get unpredictable, spinning the golden snake around and making it want to puke!
Shouldn’t a mythical object be fed with a supreme diet that matched its status? But its owner remained unconcerned about that at all!
From not too far away, Zhi Wei suddenly asked, “Is he… usually like this too?”
Li Yixiao was uncertain which aspect Zhi Wei was referring to. “You mean… is he usually so courageous?”
Zhi Wei was speechless. “I mean, is he usually such a nutcase!”
That displeased Li Yixiao at once. “Why are you talking about our Heavenly Network member in such a manner? Do you have any issue with us?”
Zhi Wei, “???”
Both of them were nuts!
Can we please have a proper conversation?!
Then, an unusual feeling caught Zhi Wei’s attention. As he glanced over at Lu Shu’s divine water, its size was actually bigger than earlier?!
Earlier on, Zhi Wei was responsible for pa.s.sing those broken magical weapons to Lu Shu at Li Xianyi’s command, as it was not possible for the old man to do everything personally. Thus, Zhi Wei was aware that Lu Shu was not so particular about the diet of his divine water, since he was even willing to feed it broken weapons!
At the moment, Zhi Wei felt that he had seen the truth, as the divine water continued to expand in the throng of bugs…
He was neither courageous nor nuts! He was simply greedy for money and he could not let go of any free opportunities to strengthen his divine water!
Meanwhile, fighting on his own, Lu Shu ripped open the bug flood, instantly throttling their speed. Almost at the same time, all the bugs surged towards Lu Shu, who remained calm and composed in the center of the beetles.
For those who did not know the truth, Lu Shu was almost like a deity. His golden glow flickered in the dark bug throng, invincible and unbeatable.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly stopped short. Wasn’t he bouncing around just now? Was he in danger?
Li Yixiao was nervous. He yelled, “Don’t be scared, Lu Shu! I’m coming to save you!”
Then, a stretch of beetles were blown off by his tiger, while rounds of electricity were fired out from Zhi Wei’s thunder surrounded hands.
However, when they got close, they saw Lu Shu standing in his divine water sh.e.l.l lightheartedly, holding his phone. On the screen, it was the interface of a calculator…
“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”
“From Zhi Wei’s distress, +666!”
What are you calculating about?
Zhi Wei’s face darkened as he continued to back down from the incoming bugs. “What are you doing? We thought you were in danger seeing you standing still there!”
Lu Shu shot them a startled look, while mumbling to himself, “Five times five is 25… Six times six is 36… Five one Labor’s Day… Six one Children’s Day… Freak! It’s all messed up!”
At first Lu Shu would initiate attacks, but slowly he wondered why he even needed to run around when those bugs would come to him?
Initially, the army of beetles was the synonym of death and fear. Every single life in their course of path would be killed. Moreover, all Pract.i.tioners’ blood was drawn underground, its mana absorbed by some unknown source.
But now, they ran into Lu Shu. Although they would not be wiped out so quickly, they could not lay a finger on Lu Shu as well.
Without intelligence, those bugs were only programmed with murderous primal instincts. Hence, Lu Shu’s presence was intolerable to the entire bug flood. As a result, all of them were held back by Lu Shu…
Coral felt fireworks exploding in her heart. The man of her dreams was standing still in a throng of black beetles, like a graceful deity. She was mesmerized by his composed demeanor, even simple actions like pressing plus and multiplication signs on his phone screen looked particularly attractive when they were done by him…
Undeniably, Lu Shu had given Coral too many surprises since the moment they met. Although there were many even stronger experts out there, be it Chen Baili or Li Xianyi, they belonged to the old generation.
Among their peers, few could be comparable to Lu Shu. Besides the youngest Cla.s.s B bishop from the Department of Faith Theory, the Northern European Cla.s.s C who had awakened to a divine bloodline at such a low level, and the young man named “Hades” in the Phoenix Society, across the globe there were fewer than ten who were on the same level as Lu Shu in Coral’s knowledge.
In fact, there was another Hades in Egypt. The Hades of the Phoenix Society was full of himself, and it was said that he had already made an open challenge to the Darkness Kingdom against his Egyptian compet.i.tor. There should only be one Hades in the world.
Thankfully Lu Shu was unaware of that. Else, he would call himself Hades as well. By then, he would get a constant income of distress points from the Phoenix Society’s Hades every time the latter thought of him! So easy!
As a matter of fact, the new generation of the Heavenly Network was also the center of global attention. A big organization’s true power lay in the abilities of their fresh blood. But to everyone’s surprise, Cla.s.s C’s had been brought up in the Heavenly Network at an astonis.h.i.+ng rate!
Furthermore, most of the other organizations would choose to advertise their newly recruited geniuses as a display of their profound power. Thus, more foreign talents would be attracted to compensate for their weak legacy or small population.
But it was a different case for the Heavenly Network. They held confidentiality in high regard, and might even release fake information to cause public confusion.
Now, many members inside the Heavenly Network were suspected to be key talents nurtured by the Network. They included Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses and the first batch of low-profile experts selected from army.
The world was constantly changing and the golden times of Pract.i.tioners had since arrived. But Lu Shu’s heart was filled with money, Lu Xiaoyu, and nothing else…
