1244 I Don’t Need Companions
Chu Nan stood at the door for a while and discovered that in the beginning, the spatial energy in the surrounding s.p.a.ce was still orderly condensed and circulated according to a special structure and pattern. However, as time pa.s.sed, it became more and more chaotic and finally lost control. It could no longer maintain the stable structure and circulation pattern and completely dissipated.
Clearly, Nowell’s attempt to condense a star cloud had failed.
Chu Nan deliberately waited for a moment before knocking on the door.
“Nowell, it’s me.”
After a while, Nowell’s slightly weak voice sounded in the room.
!!“Come in.”
Chu Nan pushed open the door and entered. He saw Nowell sitting cross-legged on the bed. His expression was slightly weak and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the failure of the steel attempt had made him lose some weight.
Seeing Chu Nan enter, Nowell forced a smile and said, “You should have sensed it. It seems that I’m still too anxious.”
Chu Nan shook his head and reached out to press on Nowell. He activated the Flame of Life cultivation method and quickly healed his injuries.
“Condensing a star cloud is not that simple. You can’t be too anxious. However, the fact that you’re confident in making this attempt proves that you’re not far from truly taking that step. Therefore, there’s no need to be anxious. You only need to cultivate patiently for a period of time. I believe you can definitely successfully condense a star cloud and break through to the Heaven Control Realm.”
“I’m indeed too anxious.” After being treated by Chu Nan, Nowell’s expression became much better. He sighed softly, “It’s really because the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly has already begun. I’m very anxious to increase my strength.”
“Did you see the notification regarding the second stage issued by the royal family of the Declan Empire?” Chu Nan took the opportunity to ask.
“Oh? There’s news? I’ve been busy cultivating and trying to break through and haven’t noticed.”
Nowell opened his personal terminal and carefully read the announcement issued by the royal family of the Declan Empire. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, “It’s obvious that we’re the tools used by the royal family of the Declan Empire to nurture and cultivate their royal descendants. Instead of saying that this model provides us with a chance to compete, it’s more like it’s specially targeted at those royal descendants.”
“You have the same thoughts as me.” Chu Nan shrugged, “However, we can’t criticize the royal family of the Declan Empire for this, right? To put it bluntly, they were the ones who found someone to play with those royal descendants. What we want is only the last reward.”
“Yes, other than that, this is also a very good training opportunity for us.” Nowell nodded and asked Chu Nan, “What do you plan to do?”
“I’m not prepared. I’m going out to take a look. If I can encounter a suitable one, I’ll give it a try. It’s fine if I can’t,” Chu Nan replied indifferently.
Nowell was a little surprised, “Could it be that you plan to go alone in the end? From this announcement, I’m afraid the place we’re going to in ten days will be very dangerous. The more companions we have, the more strength we can have. I feel that it’s best for you to try your best to find some suitable companions. In any case, the announcement of the royal family of the Declan Empire also says that they’ve already taken the corresponding measures. The other martial artists in the Dark Forest Star System will be very happy to be companions of us partic.i.p.ants. With your strength, you should be able to choose five good companions.”
“We’ll see.”
Chu Nan did not comment on this. When he saw that Nowell was fine, he stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and instructed Nowell, “I don’t suggest that you’re in a hurry to try condensing a star cloud now. Instead, you should properly organize your cultivation method. If you can fully comprehend the suggestions I mentioned yesterday, it’ll be very helpful for you to condense a star cloud.”
“Okay.”
Only then did Chu Nan leave the room and leave the hotel unhurriedly.
The hotel they chose to stay in was located in the large city closest to the surface s.p.a.ce station. Although it was not in the center of the city, the surroundings were still lively.
Before he walked out of the hotel, Chu Nan had already sensed dozens of different spatial energy fluctuations surging nearby, indicating that there were at least dozens of powerful martial artists fighting intensely.
When he walked out of the hotel door, he discovered that it was not only the dozens of martial artists at the lowest Void Break Realm who were fighting around him. Not only were martial artists dancing and fighting everywhere in the sky, but even many weak-looking fellows were fighting intensely on the surface.
This made Chu Nan feel very strange.
The customs of the Declan Empire were powerful. It was indeed not bad that martial techniques were popular, but it should not be so popular, right?
Moreover, when they came to this hotel yesterday, the surroundings were not so intense.
Even if many of these guys wanted to become companions of partic.i.p.ants like Chu Nan because of the targeted measures of the royal family of the Declan Empire, the weakest partic.i.p.ant who could enter the second stage should be a high-level Void Break Martial Artist. How could they fancy these weaklings who were still at the Internal Breath Realm or even the Overlord Body Realm?
“I wonder why these guys are so excited…”
Chu Nan shook his head and ignored those weak fellows. He strolled around and observed the surrounding situation.
He was indeed not too interested in recruiting companions. Although having another suitable companion could indeed increase his strength, how could it be so easy to find a “suitable” companion? Compared to having another companion that he did not know the background of, Chu Nan was more willing to act alone.
In any case, with his powerful speed and flexibility, it was almost impossible to rely on a siege to kill him.
Most importantly, he could almost have endless Internal Breath now. Coupled with the heaven-defying Flame of Life and the G.o.ddess’ Song cultivation method, it was actually much easier for him to do it alone than bringing an unreliable companion.
Of course, if he could really encounter such a suitable companion, he did not mind bringing one or two.
With such an indifferent att.i.tude, Chu Nan leisurely pa.s.sed the first five days of the preparation stage.
In these five days, he did not even find a companion—or rather, he was not interested in finding one. Instead, Henrik had actually found four companions. Even Nowell, who was relatively silent and not good with words compared to Henrik, had found two companions.
When the two of them asked about Chu Nan’s situation, he only rejected them with the excuse that he was not in a hurry.
Of course, Chu Nan had not done nothing in the past five days.
Due to the second stage being held and the new measures issued by the royal family of the Declan Empire, a large number of martial artists had condensed in the Dark Forest Star System. Chu Nan could encounter all kinds of martial artists and see all kinds of strange martial techniques.
Every time he encountered a relatively novel martial technique, Chu Nan would try it and understand it in his battle with the other party.
Through fighting more different martial artists, he comprehended more varied martial techniques. In fact, Chu Nan was also improving himself bit by bit.
According to Chu Nan’s deepest thoughts, he preferred this comfortable life where he could often come into contact with novel martial techniques.
However, this comfortable life was broken because of the appearance of a person.
