“Could it be Brother Shu saw sea monsters in the sea, so he decided not to jump into it?” Chen Zuan asked.

After all, water was his stage. Even a Class A might not be able to kill him in the sea.

However, everyone turned to Chen Zuan with a judging expression. “Pretty imaginative, huh?”

Chen Zuan shut his mouth. Then, You Mingyu said, “Why did the ninth Heavenly King give up his plan of jumping into the sea when there were no Class A’s around to corner him? Now he is in danger with seven Class B’s after him.”

“Let’s go save him,” Chen Zuan suggested, “I know that we are short of manpower. But we have the obligation to assist our comrades. Furthermore, Brother Shu has made a significant military contribution by cutting out their supplies. At the very least, we should send people to destroy their logistics base altogether.”

As Chen Zuan spoke, he studied the other people’s expressions carefully. Saving Lu Shu was his first reaction when he learned that Lu Shu was being chased by seven Class B’s. Yet, he was worried that he could not complete the job alone.

On the other hand, it was inappropriate to send manpower, the most precious resources in the Heavenly Network at the moment, to danger just for the life of one person.

Mercy was unacceptable during war times. In usual conditions, the most they could do was to pray for Lu Shu’s safe return.

However, Chen Zuan had decided to disobey their orders and go with Cheng Qiuqiao and Lu Xiaoyu if his request was rejected!

To Chen Zuan, it was important to establish a good impression of himself during the wars because this could potentially earn him the title of a Heavenly King. Nevertheless, non-compliance with military orders would inevitably shatter this dream of his.

However, Chen Zuan had taken serious consideration over it. He was in the Changbai Mountains precisely because he wanted to fight at Lu Shu’s side. He would not allow anyone in the Species Research specialization to die in this war.

Chen Zuan looked at the rest, waiting for an answer. During this period of time, he had come to realize that everyone in the commander module was so rational that they appeared to be emotionless.

It was as if all feelings had been switched off during wartimes.

At this moment, Hao Zhichao said, “I agree with you. We should sent support to the Ninth Heavenly King because he is indispensable to the entire Heavenly Network... Don’t look at me like that. I’m only repeating Heavenly King Nie’s intentions.”

“Don’t have to.”

The brisk and soft voice immediately drew everyone’s startled gaze to the corner of the module. It was Lu Xiaoyu. She had remained quiet since the start of the meeting and it was her first comment.

As the one closest to Lu Shu, why did she insist that there was no need to save him?

Chen Zuan became anxious. “Xiaoyu, don’t go alone, please. We can figure out a way together! Or, you can bring me along. I can be your support!”

Lu Xiaoyu cast him a short glimpse. “No need.”

“I can do anything! Anything you tell me to do!”

“Behave yourself.”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

Lu Xiaoyu glanced around the room and said, “You don’t know Lu Shu. If he has voluntarily given up his opportunity to escape, it means that he is the killer, not the victim.”

With that, Lu Xiaoyu walked out of the module. “You are doing him a favor by not burdening him.”

Burden him? The rest looked at each other in astonishment. As the cream of the elites, how could they be a burden to Lu Shu? But for some reason, Lu Xiaoyu’s words carried a nonnegotiable weight.

At that instant, Lu Xiaoyu’s faith in Lu Shu was apparent. Her confidence in him remained unwavering even when he was confronted by seven Class B’s!

Hao Zhichao shook his head with a bitter smile. “That’s the decision, then. It seems that we have underestimated him yet again... No wonder Heavenly King Nie insists on him becoming the Ninth Heavenly King.”

“By the way, can we know when he officially became the Ninth Heavenly King? After the completion of his mission at the Collection of Gods?” Chen Zuan asked.

“No. This is a secret known by few.” Hao Zhichao shook his head. “Heavenly King Nie offered him the position, but he was reluctant. That’s why all the trouble happened afterwards. Do you know how Heavenly King Nie ascended to Shen Cang Jing? Forget it. It’s a top secret...”

Chen Zuan drew a startled breath. WHAT? Was Brother Shu involved in Heavenly King Nie’s epic ascension as well?

...

Meanwhile, Lu Shu was sitting beside the air-type expert’s motionless body and counted his loot.

The chase continued for almost four hours. He had killed the man after he made sure all of the six Class B’s were following behind. For all this while, the air-type Metahuman found it utterly unbelievable that Lu Shu would take a bold move to attack back and he was incredibly powerful as well.

Then, Lu Shu did a double check on the number of trucks in his Seal of Lands. Wait, why were there only 31? Should it not be 33...

Lu Shu recalled the battle scenes. In the end, he had to admit, though reluctantly, that it was indeed 31, not 33...

Now that he had everything in his Seal of Lands, should he consider opening a food supplies stall with Zhao Yongchen? Moreover, the food he had was all imported products... That sounded like a good business, even though Lu Shu was unsure about the taste of some of the canned food too because he had never seen them in China.

As for the 31 trucks of magical weapons, he was not sure whether they would be of any use for the Heavenly Network since their quality was much inferior compared to their standard swords.

Wait a moment, Lu Shu suddenly remembered that there was a PC game called the Legend of Sword and Fairy, in which a skill called “Staking everything, playing for all-or-nothing” could inflict huge amounts of harm on the enemies by casting copper coins...

He also knew that the old man could transform leaves into carriers of sword energy to boost its power in a method known as “All things as swords”.

Currently, the number of sword prototypes in Lu Shu’s body had exceeded 2,000. So why not use real swords as carriers of his sword energy?!

Lu Shu did a trial run. As expected, the cross swords would be under his control after he infused his sword energy with the weapons. historical

In the past, his sword energy was rather delicate due to its invisible and shapeless nature.

But when it was attached to physical weapons... it became much more powerful!

Yet, Lu Shu still felt reluctant about the investment. For “Staking everything, playing for all-or-nothing”, the player only had to throw away 2,000 copper coins each time. But every sword of his was worth much more in value!

However, Lu Shu had made up his mind. His 288 gray threads of Sparrow Shade were clearly insufficient. Hence, the swords would become his new trump card... but he would not use it unless absolutely necessary!
