Chapter 110: Crazy Warrior
Lu Huaiyun almost laughed aloud when he heard this. ‘To think I actually took Lu Zhanyu’s warning seriously. It turns out that this fellow is even more of a country bumpkin, to be this fascinated by the outside scenery.’
And the tiny bit of wariness in his heart was naturally cast aside.
Gu Nan was indeed staring at outer space, but his thoughts weren’t quite the same as a normal person’s:
‘With my current physique… I should be able to survive in the vacuum, right?’ Gu Nan silently calculated in his mind.
This world’s Void Cutter Realm cultivators can cross through the void. However, this kind of situation never appeared in the game before, but his physique far surpassed that of an ordinary Prodigious Realm expert, so it shouldn’t be a big problem to survive in space.
But in the end, he wasn’t 100% certain, so Gu Nan turned his head and asked Lu Zhanyu, “How much force is needed to break this glass window?”
Lu Zhanyu was truly flabbergasted this time. She had been on 70 to 80 starships in her life, but this was the first time someone asked that question.
Before she could answer, Lu Huaiyun beside her replied with a chuckle, “If you really want to know, why don’t you try it out yourself?”
But he was already sneering in his heart. All the materials on this starship were specially made by the military, and the durability of the floor-to-ceiling windows were of the utmost importance, so these windows were extremely strong. ‘Exactly which backwater place did this country bumpkin come from?’
When he heard that, Gu Nan smiled and slowly turned his head around, his calm and indifferent gaze falling on Lu Huaiyun, making the latter’s heart vaguely wary.
“Makes sense,” Gu Nan’s tone sounded quite agreeable, but before Lu Huaiyun had time to relax, he felt his head suddenly tighten.
Gu Nan had appeared beside him at some point, grabbed his long hair, and smashed his head forward, slamming it onto the glass window.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed through the dining hall, and everyone froze.
But Gu Nan’s movements didn’t stop; he kept his hold on Lu Huaiyun’s head, using it as a weapon and continuously slamming it against the glass window.
Interestingly, the force and angle of each of his slams didn’t differ in the slightest.
The only thing that changed was Lu Huaiyun’s head—after continuous strikes, his skull had fractured piece by piece, deforming the shape of his head, which affected the force of the slams.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The knocks echoed throughout the dining hall. Some people began to stand up, some people cursed, and others rushed towards this side.
Only Gu Nan continued to do his own thing, until…
“30% force, 25 times,” Gu Nan muttered calmly as he tossed Lu Huaiyun, who had a bloody face, to the side.
And in front of him, cobweb-like cracks had already appeared on the special glass that separated the starship’s interior from outer space.
When these cobweb cracks appeared in front of the crowd, the originally angry group instantly stopped in their tracks. No one dared to approach Gu Nan anymore.
……
In the dining room of the starship, Lu Huaiyun had already been sent down for treatment.
A dozen maintenance personnel currently surrounded the cracks that formed as a result of Lu Huaiyun’s head, sweating profusely as they hurried to repair it.
“Mr. Gu.” An old man in white had a bitter smile on his face as he said helplessly, “Please don’t do such a dangerous thing in the future… Not only is this irresponsible towards your own life, but you’re also putting the safety of the entire ship’s personnel at risk.”
This old man was the captain of the starship. When he heard that someone had smashed cracks in the starship’s window, his hair almost turned white with fright.
He hurriedly ran over with a dozen people, but fortunately, a disaster was averted.
Gu Nan still didn’t have much of an expression on his face when faced with the captain’s persuasion. Perhaps he didn’t hear this old man at all, because his gaze still rested on the cracks.
He had been paying attention to the repair process.
“Exactly! How can there be someone like this? How dare he beat Young Master Huaiyun like that…”
“This person is simply a terrorist! Who the hell let him onboard?”
“That’s right! We demand that he be kicked off the starship! Or else we refuse to go to Heavenly Enterprise Star!”
“I agree…”
Among the crowd that had previously gathered around, voices also began to come out and gradually transformed into a common will: to kick Gu Nan off the starship.
Lu Xinyu had already arrived and was currently trying to persuade everyone, while Lu Zhanyu, from beginning to end, acted like this was none of her business.
…Even if this entire mess might’ve been caused by a sentence of hers.
Just when the crowd’s clamor was getting louder and louder, a burst of laughter came from far and near, revealing this person’s brash and insolent nature and silencing all the other complaints.
“Hahahaha! How dare a group of trash like you speak out in front of the Crazy Warrior?”
The owner of this voice appeared in the form of a handsome young man with an orange afro and non-mainstream clothes.
But none of the people present dared to speak out after he appeared.
The reason was simple. This person was Lu Li. He once wandered through the sea of stars for seven years with only a sword. After returning, he became recognized as the strongest genius among the Lu family’s younger generation.
This time, Heavenly Enterprise Star’s branch of the Lu family aimed to settle its internal disputes with Lu branch families from other regions in the competition. Thus, all the other branch families spent all their efforts trying to find external helpers; only Lu Li’s branch towered above the others, imposing and motionless.
Because Lu Lu doesn’t need anyone else’s help—he is a top-tier Prodigious master himself.
After Lu Li appeared, he didn’t look at Gu Nan and Lu Zhanyu. Instead, he shouted behind him, “Guan Shanxue, your master was beaten and crippled. As your master’s dog, why don’t you come out and bark a few times?”
Seemingly forced into action by his words, another white-haired youth had no choice but to show himself.
This Guan Shanxue had a stiff expression as he explained in a serious manner, “Lu Huaiyun and I are friends. I accepted his invitation to fight for him in the competition, but I am not responsible for protecting him.”
While these two youths appeared one after another, Gu Nan’s gaze circled between them and showed a thoughtful expression.
‘Although these two spoke harshly to each other, their actual relationship should be quite good. It’s just…’
“What do you mean by Crazy Warrior?” Gu Nan interrupted the conversation between the two and asked Lu Li directly.
The frivolous expression on Lu Li’s face disappeared, and he said seriously, “Two days ago, the Central Region released a new cycle of the Star Rankings, and Your Excellency was listed on it, with the title ‘Crazy Warrior’.”
As he spoke, he handed a ranking document to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan took the ranking, only to find that the document was made of special material; it was unlike ordinary cloth. After opening it, he saw the glittering starlight flickering gently, and a list of names were written on it.
And Gu Nan’s name was written at the very end of that list.
[Gu Nan: Nineteen years old. Resident of Ninth Region’s Ruby Fish Star. Origins unknown, suspected of being from a foreign region]
[Reason for entering the Ranking: Within a few months after he appeared in public, his strength went from the Innate Realm directly to Prodigious Realm’s Domain Stage—the fastest breakthrough in the last century]
[Battle record: Single-handedly fought against the Seven Stars Team on Ruby Fish Star; battle concluded with the latter’s total annihilation]
[Title: Because he used a blood-red blade during the battle and his state resembled that of a crazy demon, he is granted the title “Crazy Warrior”]
[Innate Ability: Unknown]
[Special Skills: Unknown]
“To think that both innate ability and special skills are unknown. Looks like there are also times when Starry Ocean Pavilion doesn’t live up to its name,” Lu Zhanyu commented with a chuckle, having come over at some point and read the description on the ranking.
Lu Li and Guan Shanxue, however, didn’t laugh. If not even a large organization like Starry Ocean Pavilion could find out about this person’s abilities, then there was only one possibility.
Everyone who saw him attack in earnest have all died…
This was also the reason these two willingly appeared in front of this “Crazy Warrior”—they wanted to fish for information on Gu Nan.
As if he heard their wishes, Gu Nan spoke up, “Is there a way to contact the creator of this ranking? There’s a piece of information that needs to be corrected.”
“Oh? What kind of information?” Lu Li’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked.
“I’m eighteen years old right now, thank you very much.” Gu Nan’s face was full of earnestness. “I only turn nineteen in the second half of this year.”
