971 Not a Star-Grade Martial Artist
Chu Nan’s body immediately froze on the spot like an arrow that had been shot into the ground.
Turning from extreme speed to stillness did not make his powerful body feel any discomfort. However, looking at the ordinary-looking man in front of him, a strong sense of danger surged in his heart.
This man only stood there and did not seem to move, but one could clearly sense an extremely terrifying aura from him. Even the surrounding space seemed to have completely become centered around him. All the spatial energy in the space naturally circulated around him. Even the spatial energy contained in Chu Nan’s body seemed to want to involuntarily leave his body and surge towards the other party.
Chu Nan narrowed his eyes and stared at this man.
Star-Grade Martial Artist?
No…
Chu Nan shook his head.
No, this man should not be a Star-Grade Martial Artist.
Ordinary people or ordinary martial artists might not be able to see a Star-Grade Martial Artist in their entire lives, but in the recent two and a half years, Chu Nan had already seen more than ten Star-Grade Martial Artists and had considerable contact with every one of them.
Although the characteristics of every Star-Grade Martial Artist were different and the cultivation method they were skilled in was also different, other than Supremacy Lahir who had “died with” Supremacy Oville, all the other Star-Grade Martial Artists had one thing in common. When Chu Nan first saw him, he did not feel such a shocking sense of danger.
This did not mean that the man in front of him was more dangerous than those Star-Grade Martial Artists. On the contrary, in Chu Nan’s opinion, this was where this man was inferior to those Star-Grade Martial Artists.
Clearly, he was deliberately revealing his powerful aura and was probably trying to intimidate Chu Nan.
However, in Chu Nan’s eyes, the other party’s actions were undoubtedly inferior.
Unless they encountered a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist of the same level as Supremacy Oville, no Star-Grade Martial Artist would go all out when facing an opponent inferior to them and try to directly suppress the other party with their aura.
However… this also did not mean that the man opposite him was weak.
Just from the aura he revealed, his control and level of spatial energy clearly far exceeded Chu Nan. Even if he did not reach the terrifying level of a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he was definitely not someone Chu Nan could compare to.
“Escape?”
This thought flashed through Chu Nan’s mind, but when he saw the virtual screen of the A.I. that displayed complicated information behind this man, he gave up on this thought and assumed a posture with a powerful battle intent in his eyes.
As long as the other party was not a Star-Grade Martial Artist, even if Chu Nan might not be able to defeat him, he would not be afraid.
Even if he could not defeat him, at the very least, he could escape.
Seeing Chu Nan’s battle posture, the man opposite him seemed to be a little surprised before he smiled.
“Ha, you’re indeed the bravest young martial artist I’ve ever seen. It’s already quite good that your legs don’t go soft in front of me, but you actually dare to fight me head-on. Not bad, not bad. If all the young martial artists on the Orion Arm are as brave and talented as you, I really have to worry about the future of our Perseus Arm.”
Chu Nan frowned and could not help but shake his head.
This guy spoke as if he was high and mighty and old. It was really annoying.
He was at most a fifth-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist and was not even a Star-Grade Martial Artist. How could he be worried about the future of the Perseus Arm?
He was simply boasting shamelessly.
Chu Nan sneered in his mind and felt disdain for the other party. He immediately felt the pressure the other party gave him decrease greatly. He snorted and took a step forward before throwing a punch without holding back.
The man exclaimed as if he did not expect Chu Nan to dare to attack him first. However, he did not show any panic in the face of Chu Nan’s punch. He only smiled lightly and lightly slapped out.
Chu Nan immediately felt the spatial energy in the surrounding space suddenly collapse towards the other party. The huge spatial energy that was originally controlled by him in his palm and blasted out with his fist was immediately pulled by it. His body involuntarily fell to the other party, so this punch naturally did not have any power.
As the other party slapped out, the huge spatial energy that was originally collapsing towards him was instantly pulled by it again and accumulated into one. It gave people the feeling that it was gentle, but it was actually like an angry wave surging and flowing wildly like a flood.
Boom!
Chu Nan felt his entire body being struck by an unparalleled huge force. His entire body involuntarily flew out like a rock and collided with a transparent energy shield behind him. After triggering the shield to flash with seven-colored light, he fell.
However, Chu Nan did not fall freely. Instead, he had just collided with the energy shield and had already finished adjusting his breathing. The moment his body fell, he had completely recovered. He twisted his waist and turned around. He looked at the entrance of the base’s data center and was fully vigilant.
The expected attack did not arrive. The man floated out from the entrance of the data center and was even more surprised when he saw Chu Nan standing on the ground.
“You’re actually not heavily injured after receiving my strike head-on. You’re really impressive. Young man, I admire you very much and don’t want a genius with talent like you to die midway. As long as you’re willing to kneel and beg for mercy now, I can spare your life.”
“Spare your sister!” Chu Nan could not help but curse.
It was one thing for this guy to be strong, but what Chu Nan really could not stand was why he always acted so high and mighty as if he was the strongest in this world.
Chu Nan had seen so many extremely powerful Star-Grade Martial Artists, but none were like him.
Hearing Chu Nan’s curse, the man’s expression changed slightly.
“Young man, I’m showing you kindness on account of your outstanding talent. If you still don’t cherish this opportunity, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Chu Nan curled his lips and could not be bothered to waste his breath on him. The star cloud in his body circulated and he threw another punch.
The man shook his head with a regretful expression.
“Sigh, I was originally unwilling to see you become a walking corpse like those guys. I originally wanted to give you a chance, but I didn’t expect…”
As he spoke, the man waved his palm again.
Feeling the surrounding spatial energy surge towards the man as if it was attracted by a powerful force, Chu Nan sneered. The Eight Breaths in his dantian quickly circulated in his body. After completing the Fourth Revolution Internal Breath, he urged the star cloud to a high circulation state in a millionth of a second and immediately discovered that his control of the spatial energy in the space around him had greatly increased.
Half a year ago, when he urged the star cloud to enter the Seventh Revolution state, it was already enough to face the two third-stage Heaven Control Martial Artists, Rowe and Ankelu.
After half a year of cultivation had passed, Chu Nan’s strength had greatly increased. Not only had his Internal Breath improved, but his control of spatial energy had also greatly increased. He had also become more skilled in maintaining the high circulation state of the star cloud.
The strength he could unleash while maintaining the Fourth Revolution Star Cloud was already comparable to a third-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist. Most importantly, he could still maintain his extremely exquisite and precise control of spatial energy in this state.
Therefore, after urging the star cloud to enter the Fourth Revolution state, Chu Nan felt the change in the spatial energy around him. He felt that he had the ability to control the spatial energies around him again and immediately mobilized them to condense into the center of his fist before punching the center of the surrounding spatial energy vortex.
While attacking, Chu Nan had already adjusted his Internal Breath to a special high-frequency vibration state. At the same time, he urged the star cloud to enter an extremely special high-level vibration state that could still maintain a complete circulation.
This way, his control of the spatial energy around him became even more shocking.
With a punch, black spatial cracks that seemed to have swallowed all light appeared in front of his fist. The vortex produced by the man’s control of spatial energy immediately became unsustainable.
Boom!
With a muffled explosion, the man took two steps back. A blush flashed across his face, and his Adam’s apple moved. A trace of blood involuntarily seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
That man reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth in surprise. When he saw the trace of red on his finger, he suddenly screamed.
“Oh my god! It’s blood! You damned guy! You actually just made me bleed! I must kill you!”
