Chapter 730: The Specialization with the Greatest Strength
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Cultivation College, where battles were advocated, civilian specializations like species research were looked down upon. But when all the people in this specialization were people that they looked up to, everyone suddenly thought… was this specialization that mystical?
Cao Qingci, Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan. These were the Cla.s.s A geniuses that had partic.i.p.ated in the military training. Everyone knew this. Needless to say, Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses were very strong. People looked up to these people in cla.s.s, the same way that they would look up to misers.
There was no need to explain anything further about Lu Xiaoyu. During the military training, everyone had witnessed how strong she was.
Suddenly, someone said, “Back then, I scored very high marks. But I was rejected from the species research specialization…”
He did not dare to say this in the past, as back then everyone had looked down on species research. Since he had been allocated elsewhere, he no longer had to endure the disdain from others. To be honest, he even rejoiced.
Someone suddenly asked, “How much did you score?”
“I scored 379…”
Someone gasped in shock. The examination that they had taken awarded up to 450 marks. But as the examination was meant for everyone, the questions were relatively easier. Furthermore, those in the Heavenly Network could score higher marks because of their outstanding achievements and quality. Even so, 379 out of 450 was already a very good mark. But he had been rejected from species research?
“No wonder this specialization is so scary!” Someone gasped. “This isn’t a good-for-nothing specialization. This is a team of elites…”
“That can’t be right either.” Someone said, “My brother is in the Capital Cultivation College. The species research specialization there is nothing like this. First, there are more people there. Furthermore, those who applied for that specialization would definitely not be rejected…”
“So the species research specialization at Luo City Cultivation College is very odd…”
“It isn’t an overstatement to say that they are the specialization with the greatest combined strength…”
Lu Shu sat in the courtyard and waited. After a while, Chen Zuan, Cao Qingci and the rest came over.
Just after Lu Shu stepped out of the cla.s.sroom, he sent everyone a message. “Gather at my house. I have something to discuss.”
Thus, Cao Qingci, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao followed Lu Shu out of the cla.s.sroom, leaving Luo Nan alone and dumbfounded. To be honest, although Lu Shu was not often serious, once he got serious, his actions would have a ma.s.sive impact.
At least the secret pract.i.tioners in Luo City regarded the Venerable as a legend. Now, You Mingyu was looking after the black market. But Lu Shu and Li Yixiao may be more effective than You Mingyu in speaking to them.
Everyone respected and feared You Mingyu as he represented the Heavenly Network. But they had been won over by the Venerable and the Lord.
“Brother Shu, what is it? I still have to find a place to stay,” said Chen Zuan. He had been brought here by Chen Baili. He had not made any preparations in Luo City.
Kunlun Mountains. The Ancestor of Mountains. The first Sacred Mountain. These were all the names for the same place. They had nothing to do with modern times. These name had existed since a long time ago in history.
Cao Qingci remained quiet and did not speak. She stood by herself by the vegetable garden, thinking about something. She was not the type to express her opinions easily. She would remain silent and act.
Chen Zuan sat on a chair and smiled. “Brother Shu, so what do you mean?”
“This is a place that Nie Ting wants me to go to,” said Lu Shu calmly. A strange specialization had suddenly appeared. Luo Nan stated speaking about such a far-off place just after meeting them. Furthermore, considering the Heavenly Network’s stance regarding the empty Kunlun Mountains and Nie Ting’s personality, this was a path that had been created for him to take. But he did not take this path.
They were just waiting for Lu Shu to go there?
Lu Shu continued. “I won’t go into the details, but that place is definitely very dangerous. I would go there, but we are now a team. If one benefits, we all benefit. But if one suffers, all of us suffer. I want to hear your opinions.”
“Brother Shu.” Cheng Qiuqiao scratched his head. “What are we going to do there?”
Lu Shu pondered over it. He had told Luo Nan that he would not go, but on the way back, he would not help but think that there was probably something important in the Kunlun Mountains. Not only did Nie Ting humiliate him, he wanted him to work his socks off. Could he come up with a plan to humiliate Nie Ting?
Thinking about this, Lu Shu was fired up!
But to speak the truth, the level of danger in the Kunlun Mountains was probably manageable for a Cla.s.s B. Or from another angle, Nie Ting had formed this team to ensure his safety.
There was indeed a conflict between them, but Lu Shu knew that Nie Ting would not mess around with people’s lives.
It was also because of their conflict that they understood each other. This kind of conflict was like an internal quarrel, not a physical fight…
Lu Shu said with determination, “We are going to humiliate people!”
Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “Brother Shu, can you really say that kind of thing with so much confidence?”
Lu Shu was silent. He suddenly slapped the back of Chen Zuan’s head. “That’s why I said, don’t casually hit on girls like that!”
Chen Zuan was furious. He was about to flip a table. “Are you still not over that!”
The next day, with Cao Qingci in the lead, Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao and Lu Xiaoyu suddenly told Luo Nan that they had decided to go to the Kunlun Mountains to collect specimens.
Luo Nan was elated. Yesterday, he was still disappointed that his guidance had failed. But today, things had changed for the better.
“But on one condition.” Chen Zuan put up one finger. “That all our expenses on this trip will be reimbursed. Also, we want rations everyday!”
“Sure, no problem.” Luo Nan smiled and agreed. “Although we have very few people in our specialization, we have a lot of funds!”
At the same time, Lu Shu was already on a train headed to the Kunlun Mountains.
In the end, he was still worried about their safety. Thus, he decided to go and inspect the area around the Kunlun Mountains. He wanted to hear some legends from the locals, as well as any changes to the Kunlun Mountains recently.
Lu Shu liked to do things at a steady pace. He would do his tasks to the best of his abilities. He had done this for so many years. It did not make sense to give up on his own safety just to humiliate Nie Ting.
If the situation was unfavorable, he would bring Chen Zuan and the rest back to Luo City in one piece.
