Chapter 988: Only 30 Percent of the Scenery Needed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Till date, there are four people who reached the Master Realm in the Sword Hut,” explained Yi Qian.
“That’s not a lot,” said Lu Shu casually. After all, the number ‘four’ is rather little to ordinary people.
“One person of the Master Realm is terrifying enough.” Yi Qian was surprised. “Being a Rank One expert allows the aristocrats of the palace to last for thousands of years. The Sun family had become the leader of the palace because Sun Zhongyang’s father had been named as the genius who was the most likely to reach the Master Realm in the family. Don’t you dare think that those who were willing to become the sacrifice for the Lord of Heaven were incapable. Their powers are extremely shocking.”
“Oh.” Lu Shu suddenly realized that he had misunderstood. “Then it is sufficient.”
“Everyone says that there are less than ten people who had reached the Master Realm in the Luniverse. However, we had surpassed the 10 people mark hundreds of years ago. Amongst them, one-third of them came from the Sword Hut.” Yi Qian sighed. “This is the reason why everyone scrambles to enter the Sword Hut. The owner of the Sword Hut had once said that she only wants 30 percent of the power of the world. Therefore, the King of Gods collected 30 percent of the tax of the palace and passed it to the Sword Hut. Everyone felt that it was too much. However, everyone eventually realized that 30 percent of those who had reached the Master Realm came from the Sword Hut…”
For some reason, Lu Shu was stunned. He felt as though he could visualize the outstanding appearance of the owner of the Sword Hut. How powerful must she have been to make the other party say that.
Lu Shu said, “Indeed, if one-third of those who had reached the Master Realm came from the Sword Hut, the training capability of the Sword Hut is terrifying. No wonder, the Sword Hut is able to live with its name.”
“No no no, a total of seven people of the Master Realm came from the Sword Hut. Three of them died in the battle for the King of Gods and the remaining four…” explained Yi Qian. He did not understand why Lu Shu did not understand the situation on the Luniverse. However, his task was to explain to him and did not have the power to ask why Lu Shu was unclear.
After waiting for more than ten years, he was not as lucky as Liu Yizhao to be enlightened by the owner of the Sword Hut. Therefore, he could only be stranded out in the wild. However, he did not regret it.
He had never regretted it and would never regret it in his life.
At this moment, Yi Qian said, “However, the main reason behind why the Sword Hut was able to gain its reputation was not because of the number of Masters, but rather because the owner of the Sword Hut was able to surpass the Master Realm. The people whom I was talking about did not include…”
“Surpass the Master Realm?” Lu Shu was deep in thought. “How powerful would that be?”
“I am afraid that those who had witnessed their powers had all died,” sighed Yi Qian, “I am afraid that only three people in the world could surpass the Master Realm. One is the old King of Gods, one is the owner of the Sword Hut and one is the person who is currently in the palace of the King of Gods. However, only the owner of the Sword Hut accepted students. The illegitimate son of the Lord of Heaven will not be sent and accepted just like that by the Sword Hut…”
It was no wonder why the vacancies for the Sword Hut selection was so limited. No wonder the Lords of Heaven wanted to send his illegitimate sons into the Sword Hut. It was a chance to rise to the top.
However, Lu Shu did not really mind it. That was because he and Lu Xiaoyu only needed to earn earn distress points in order to surpass the Master Realm. After all, he had already reached the capability of a Rank One but had yet to achieve the fifth, sixth and seventh layers of the nebula.
Lu Shu felt that this was quite amusing. It felt as though, if the number of people were enough, the powers of that individuals would come naturally.
Oh, hold on a second, Lu Shu felt that something was amiss. The celestial map had always been extremely unreasonable. The method to rise in ranking was also extremely unreasonable. It required others’ distress points.
However, when this landed in a stupid person’s hand, it could be in vain and end up without any distress points.
Therefore, sustainability was crucial. The future of the celestial map determined if murders were right. The person who owned the celestial map must be concerned about people’s lives…
Lu Shu felt that he was extremely philosophical.
“Alright, who cares if he is the illegitimate son of a Lord of Heaven. Let’s go and meet him and that will be the first stage to get to our objective of Rank One,” Lu Shu said in confidence, “Look at how I will persuade him!”
Lu Xiaoyu did not say anything since the start. She looked at Lu Shu’s confident face and said, “Good luck.”
“You are just waiting to watch me make a fool of myself, right?” Lu Shu made a gesture. “I will not give you the chance to do that.”
The illegitimate son of Duanmu Huangqi was called Duanmu Yunge. He did not show his face after reaching the palace but moved into Duanmu Huangqi’s residence in the palace.
The residence was not official. Very few people knew that it was Duanmu Huangqi’s property.
However, no secret can remain hidden forever. The palace was the center of political fights. There were definitely spies placed by the different powers, as well as those spies who earned money through tip-offs.
Yi Qian was the most famous mercenary. He had dealt with some of these people. Therefore, it was easy for him to buy the information about Duanmu Yunge who was the third place on the list.
Moreover, another advantage was that nobody had thought that Yi Qian was bought over by Lu Shu. Therefore, nobody knew that Lu Shu was the one who was interested in Duanmu Yunge.
Lu Shu and Yi Qian arrived outside the residence and flew in. The tall walls were not an obstacle to practitioners.
Lu Shu strolled into the residence leisurely and sighed. There were no guards in the residence and it seemed like Duanmu Yunge was living alone. Lu Shu had once heard that a simple-minded person loved to live in a crowd while those with a complicated state of mind liked to live alone as they did not trust anyone.
That was right. As the illegitimate son of the Lord of Heaven, Duanmu Yunge experienced all different types of battles, including internal family fights and those amongst the Lords of Heaven. All of them were very dangerous.
If Lu Shu grew up in this environment, he would also be unable to trust anyone.
“Who are you guys?” A cold voice was heard from the residence.
Lu Shu turned at the long corridor and saw a young man in a white shirt sitting with his eyes closed on a floor mat in the backyard. The arrival of Lu Shu and Yi Qian did not cause him to open his eyes. This implied that he was extremely confident.
Lu Shu glanced at Yi Qian: Don’t move, watch me!
Lu Shu said, “I am here to discuss whether the Rank Ones can collaborate and get rid of the Rank Twos…”
“Scram,” said Duanmu Yunge calmly.
Lu Shu sighed and looked at Yi Qian, “Why?”
Yi Qian said, “Ah?”
After half an hour, more than half of the residence that was over ten mus 1 had collapsed. Lu Shu sighed as he got rid of the dirt on his palms, “Why can’t we talk nicely?”
“From Duanmu Yunge’s distress, +999!”
