285: Student Union President

"So that's how it is."

Xu Tian nodded in response, a hint of disappointment on his face; he hadn't expected his Oscar-worthy acting to be seen through the moment he appeared!

He then responded to Peng Fei's question:

"I refused. The Vice-Principal position doesn't suit my personality. Don't let my usual elegant way of speaking and acting fool you."

"Deep down, I'm actually an adventurer, which is why the missions I take have always been about exploring Blue Star."

"I don't like staying in one place. To put it plainly, I'm like people in the old era who wanted to travel the world, like ancient swordsmen wandering the earth."

As Xu Tian spoke, he looked in the direction Chen Du had left:

"Good thing Chen Du didn't dither. This Illusion Pill from the Technology Martial Hall only lasts for 5 minutes of transformation. If he had lingered, it would have been hard for me to keep up the act!"

Peng Fei nodded, praising:

"You handled the details very well, controlling your strength to be just a little below mine, making Chen Du feel at ease. He naturally left without worry."

"It's a good thing you're an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior; you can exert such combat power even without using weapons."

"Also, this act of yours was indeed crucial. This way, Chen Du won't have the thought that I was secretly protecting him."

Xu Tian didn't respond, just nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Peng Fei's statement. Only this way could Chen Du be certain he was embarking alone, which was very important.

He hadn't informed Peng Fei beforehand because he was afraid they might show signs of acting. If Chen Du discovered or suspected he was actually being secretly protected, then even if this journey was completed, its effect would be greatly diminished.

"Let's follow him. Principal Xie's view is that Reyn's success was an accidental event. If we force Chen Du to replicate Reyn's path, he will most likely not return alive!"

"But Reyn was also right; to become a strong person, one truly needs to experience real life-and-death tempering."

"We'll just protect him from a distance in secret. We won't intervene unless Chen Du is facing a life-or-death moment!"

Xu Tian finished speaking with a sly smile, waving the Storage Ring on his hand:

"I still have 99 Illusion Pills!"

At that time, if Chen Du really encounters a fatal moment, we'll pretend to be passing by big shots!

At the same time, he took out a specially made jacket and threw it to Peng Fei:

"Chen Du's Mental Energy is higher than yours. Although we have a Rank suppression over him, to prevent him from discovering us, put on this jacket."

"This was specially processed and made for this mission. There's only one in the entire High Martial Civilization.

Its ability is special and singular: it can, to a certain extent, block lower Ranks' mental perception of higher Ranks!"

...November 10th, 4:12.

Chen Du had been advancing on Route 5430 for 10 days.

Only 20% of the route provided by the map had been previously traveled. The end of this route was the Ju Yang Plate. Chen Du had now covered half of it, completing 10% of the entire journey.

Completing 10% in 10 days did not mean Chen Du would reach his destination, the Dynasty Block, in 100 days.

Firstly, he would need to explore the rest of the path himself.

Secondly, it was impossible for nothing to happen along the way; he couldn't just keep moving forward.

Adding the exploration after reaching the destination and the return journey, this mission would take at least a year before he could return to the First Ecological Zone.

Of course, this was because he was an Advanced Martial Artist. Normally, plate exploration missions were handled by Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors, who could complete the round trip in less than a month.

Chen Du had now completed 50% of the existing route. Navigation couldn't connect to the internet outside, so real-time positioning was impossible.

The reason he confirmed he had completed half of the existing route was because he had arrived at a landmark.

The Kapi Mountains.

The reason this place was chosen as a marker node was that Kapi Mountain had two unique features.

One, the clouds above Kapi Mountain were yellow, and the other was that this mountain range contained only one lower-tier civilization, the Kapi Civilization.

The High Martial Civilization gave it this name because the Kapi Alien Race looked very similar to the capybaras of the old era.

However, the Kapi Alien Race walked upright on two legs, unlike the four-legged pet capybaras of the old era.

Capybaras became completely extinct one year before the High Martial Civilization was born.

The reason for their extinction was that they were eaten. At that time, the Nine Planets merged, humanity's nuclear war failed, and food was scarce. Capybaras also transformed from pets into food.

It was a rather tragic end.

The Kapi Alien Race was a lower-tier civilization. The standard for a lower-tier civilization was having at least one Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.

Overall, their strength was very weak.

Of course, this weakness was relative to the High Martial Civilization, not to Chen Du.

If he were a Sky Soaring Warrior, he could fly directly over Kapi Mountain. They knew they weren't strong and wouldn't have a Sky Soaring Warrior come out to obstruct him.

But for someone of Chen Du's Advanced Martial Artist Rank, he could only honestly go around it, which was why Chen Du only advanced 1% each day.

There were simply too many places that required detours.

Since leaving the First Ecological Zone, Chen Du hadn't slept for half a month straight, but he wasn't very tired for two reasons.

Firstly, his go ahead speed wasn't very fast.

Secondly, his Seven Secret Treasures now absorbed Starry Sky Energy much faster, allowing his stamina and Mental Energy to be well replenished.

Although not very tired, Chen Du also wanted to find an opportunity to sleep.

But the purpose wasn't to recover his state, but to reap a harvest in the Crystal Space!

His Vice Chen Du had been idling for 15 days!

As long as he slept, his main Chen Du would definitely be able to immediately Breakthrough his Martial Skill to Entrance to the Microscopic 12%!

He also hadn't visited the Six-Eyed Giant yet for similar reasons. He had been outside all this time and didn't dare to relax until he found an absolutely safe place.

Chen Du was currently at the foot of one of the peaks in the Kapi Mountains. Not far ahead, two Kapi Alien Race members were passing by.

There were no other aliens around, only these two, and their strength was inferior to his, but Chen Du wasn't planning to act.

This wasn't because he was kind, but because there were no resources. Killing them would just be killing them, with no meaning whatsoever, and there was a chance of attracting trouble.

Reyn told him to explore the Dynasty Block, but Chen Du knew that this ostensible mission was actually a side quest; the real main quest was to improve himself.

His current Rank was 15.1. Given his talent, even at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, he would receive resource allocation.

Although the High Martial Civilization was poor, providing for one person was not a problem.

But Reyn's goal was different; he wanted Chen Du to become a Domain Warrior!

If that was the goal, then this tempering was necessary, so Chen Du had to learn to find resources for himself and strengthen himself.

A strong person has a very important characteristic.

Relying on oneself, not on others.

In the last few tens of seconds of his conversation with Reyn, Chen Du asked how the Fifth Ecological Circle was destroyed.

At first, he thought it was breached by some alien army, but later he learned it was simply because five Domain Warriors were fighting inside!

The Nine Planets' ecological circles all had the same specifications, plus some ruined cities, so the Fifth Ecological Circle had at least about 6500 cities.

This scale and number of cities were actually annihilated because five people fought inside!

And it was a complete annihilation with no survivors. The terror of Domain Warriors was even more terrifying than Chen Du had imagined!

At this moment, one of the two larger Kapi Alien Race members in front suddenly spoke.

"Hehe!"

"Junior sister, I found a 'red devouring grass.' Let's go to my room now and eat it together."

"Ah, senior brother, you wouldn't lie to me, would you? devouring grass isn't something our lower-tier civilization can obtain, and it's even red quality."

"Junior sister, what are you saying?"

"How could I, the dignified Student Council President, lie to you!"

Chen Du, who was hiding nearby and preparing to leave after the two Kapi Alien Race members passed, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
