Chapter 1078: Seize the Natural Laws of Masters!
“Wait. Brother Shu, why didn’t you go and listen?” Chen Zuan looked at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu waved. “I don’t want to be spit on.”
No wonder Lu Shu seemed curious, but did not go and listen. He was protecting himself!
If Lu Shu had not encouraged Chen Zuan, Chen Zuan would not have been spit on!
Chen Zuan felt that ever since he had started training, the longest path he had taken was Brother Shu’s path!
When s.h.i.+ Xuejin saw this, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become more cheerful after Lu Shu had returned.
After Lu Shu left, although Chen Zuan had become much more reliable, Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan seemed like completely different people. They were no longer as cheerful.
The Heavenly Network had been filled with a tense atmosphere as they prepared for battle. It was completely different now. They had become much happier.
They continued walking in. Suddenly, Lu Shu realized that the present Nie Ting had prepared for Lu Xiaoyu was very unusual.
When they saw the present, they were shocked. Chen Yuxuan was in a solitary cell. He was on the verge of death. Mysterious black veins covered his face. He seemed completely disabled.
Although Lu Shu had a guess, he wanted to confirm it. “This is…”
“He is the first master who came from the West Region, Chen Yuxuan,” said Nie Ting calmly. Then, he turned and smiled at Lu Xiaoyu. “You should be able to capture the spirit of a master, right?”
Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up. It was as if she had been given a pillow just as she was about to take a nap. She did not have the natural law of a master that would allow her spirits to advance!
Lu Shu felt that this was very impressive. Nie Ting had presented Lu Xiaoyu with a master as a gift.
Not only was Lu Shu surprised, even Chen Zuan and the rest found it hard to believe. They looked at Nie Ting, who had a warm gaze. Was this the same Heavenly King Nie that had been killing with determination…
Although it sounded very frightening to present a life as a gift, no one felt any mercy for him. Many of their comrades had been sacrificed. If the people from the West Region had not come, would they experience these losses?
If the people of the Luniverse learned that a master in the land of forefathers treated another master as a gift, Nie Ting’s name would spread in the Luniverse within three days.
The people in the Heavenly Network felt that Nie Ting spoiled Xiaoyu.
Lu Shu opened the door and walked into the cell. He forced a refresher fruit into Chen Yuxuan’s mouth. Suddenly, Chen Yuxuan sprang back to life like a plant in spring. His strength started to increase.
Before he could celebrate, he heard the young man in front of him say, “Go there and wait for Duanmu Huangqi. I will send him to you very quickly.”
The next moment, Chen Yuxuan felt a piercing pain in his chest that spread throughout this body. His white clothes were stained by blood.
Chen Yuxuan did not expect himself to fall into an abyss just after receiving hope.
Lu Shu turned and looked at Lu Xiaoyu. “Is it done?”
“Yes.” Lu Xiaoyu smiled. Then, she took out a pack of potato chips from her s.p.a.ce ring and pa.s.sed it to Nie Ting. “This is for you.”
Nie Ting did not seem to be offended. He took the pack of chips and opened it. He started munching on them.
Chen Zuan was confused. Why were you so happy receiving a pack of chips in exchange for a master? Were you really Nie Ting?
“Xiaoyu, do you still have any chips?” Chen Zuan asked.
Lu Xiaoyu smiled. “Buy them yourself.”
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
s.h.i.+ Xuejin watched Nie Ting eat. He looked at the packet of chips. Then, Nie Ting turned around. He did not even let s.h.i.+ Xuejin watch him…
s.h.i.+ Xuejin cleared his throat. “Xiaoyu, I have a gift for you as well.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Were they competing to give Lu Xiaoyu presents? Why was she treated so well?
But this time, Lu Shu was truly surprised. A large pile of white sand flew out of s.h.i.+ Xuejin’s invisible storage equipment.
“Deep Sea White Sand?!” Lu Shu was shocked.
They had used Deep Sea White Sand before, but they only had two fists’ worth of sand. In the past, half of the sand could be used to protect Lu Xiaoyu like armor, while the other half was used to attack.
But Lu Xiaoyu had grown taller. Thus, the Deep Sea White Sand was only enough to form her armor…
But this surprise came very quickly. Lu Shu felt that not only could the Deep Sea White Sand form armor, it could easily form an entire person…
Nie Ting glanced at s.h.i.+ Xuejin. There was a message behind his gaze. “Your present is not bad.”
Then, they ate a packet of chips each.
Lu Shu had wasted a refresher fruit and fed it to Chen Yuxuan. He was worried that if his foundation had not recovered, Lu Xiaoyu would capture a disabled spirit. Thus, this wastage had been worth it.
After all, the distress points he had lost was made up by the distress points Chen Yuxuan had produced when he died.
Lu Shu thought about it. One refresher fruit cost 1000 points. When a person died, they gave him 1000 distress points as well. Was there some logic behind this?
But it was not the time to think about this. Lu Xiaoyu did not choose to materialize Chen Yuxuan. Instead, she seized his natural law and gave it to Anthony!
It was not that she disliked Chen Yuxuan because his combat power was not higher. In reality, masters were all able to deliver earth-shaking attacks. But in terms of functionality, if they were going to fight in the future, Anthony would be more useful.
Earlier, when they had been attacking, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu realized that if Anthony was able to advance to the master realm, there would be great improvements in underground transport.
It would not be impossible to raid the palace without anyone noticing!
Furthermore, they had more Deep Sea White Sand. Anthony would not lose to other masters even if he fought in the air.
Quality over quant.i.ty. Since Lu Xiaoyu was familiar with the attack techniques of earth-type Metahumans, she would definitely make use of what she was best at.
It would have been great if Duanmu Huangqi and the rest had remained. Lu Shu felt a sense of regret. If there were three more people, Lu Xiaoyu would become the strongest power in the world. There would be no question. Would you be afraid if someone had four masters in their possession…
Thus, Lu Shu grew more and more excited for the opening of the s.p.a.ce pathway. This time, he would not be forced to go there. He would not travel alone either. This was the meaning of joining the Heavenly Network.
“What do we do now?” Chen Zuan asked.
Lu Shu suddenly said, “Drink alcohol!”
The deceased were left to rest in peace. Those who were alive drank alcohol.
What was in the past was in the past. New people would protect the new era.
