Chapter 976: Rank One! The Cry Of The Sword Throughout The Heaven And The Earth!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu did not take much time to train his swordplay before it reached peak Rank Two. It had happened just a few days ago. Ordinary people would be stuck at the bottleneck for a long time as they had to pursue an even higher level and continuously explore the route to achieve higher levels. In the end, they would find the way.

But Lu Shu was different. He was already a peak Rank Two before he had come to the Luniverse.

Li Xianyi had said that to break through, one had to find their own path. Chen Baili had also said the same thing.

A very long time ago, Lu Shu would occasionally think about what his own path was, but he could not figure it out.

Thus, when the Rank One soldier was about to attack him at full speed, he looked on helplessly as the young man suddenly turned and looked up at the young girl on the tree branch. He asked curiously, ?Right. Xiaoyu, what do you think my path is??

Lu Xiaoyu paused for two seconds. ?Being a thief.?

?From Lu Shu?s distress, +666.?

This scene was familiar. There were times on Earth when Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had a similar conversation. She had always replied with ?thief?. Lu Shu felt as if he had been transported back into the past.

?Are you… done talking?? The soldier asked in a cold tone.

?From Yi Qian?s distress, +666!?

But he suddenly realized that Lu Shu seemed as if he was spacing out. He had lost his concentration looking at something in the forest.

Yi Qian wanted to take this chance to kill Lu Shu. But the moment he moved, he sensed an immense threat. Lu Xiaoyu, who was on the branch, said in a cold tone, ?If you move, you will die.?

Outside, Sun Zhongyang and the rest suddenly realized that the forest was very quiet. But they felt that something was wrong. Everyone knew that there was a Rank One expert inside. Once they fought, it would be earth-shaking.

For example, when Sun Zhongyang and the rest had fought the slaves, the collision of energy could be seen from dozens of kilometers away. It was splendid!

Thus, it was very strange that the forest was so quiet.

Sun Zhongyang wanted to go in and take a look, but he was worried that an accident would happen inside.

?Is it possible that Le Yulu has died?? Song Bo suddenly asked.

?It is possible that they have overestimated their abilities and tried to fight a Rank One with their Rank Two abilities,? said Mo Xiaoya calmly. ?They might have ended up in a mishap when they were not careful.?

?No. ? Sun Zhongyang said, ?Song Bo, you said that the people who were protecting them in the dark had not attacked. Some accident must have happened inside.?

Accident? Everyone pondered about it. What accident could have happened?

?Is he negotiating with that fellow and is going to betray us…? Mo Xiaoya was very worried…

Needless to say, the moment this possibility was raised, everyone accepted it

?But the price that we have offered is already very high. Even those mercenary soldiers would not be able to exceed us,? said Mo Xiaoya.

?Wait!? Sun Zhongyang said with certainty.

Lu Shu was thinking of a problem in the forest. What exactly was the Dao? It should be a method of communication between the heaven and the earth. Li Xianyi had said that in the Hall of Swords, one?s spirit and willpower would communicate with the heaven and the earth. Sword energy was the Dao, and the Dao was resonance.

The heaven and the earth were vast and boundless. There were countless forms of Dao. None were superior or inferior. The core of the Hall of Swords? version of the Dao was thought, thought that could affect the heaven and the earth. This was a low-leveled annotation that had been formed after Lu Shu had explained it.

Thus, countless people were stuck at Rank Two for the remainder of their lives. At this stage, aptitude was more important than resources. Staunch people with a strong mind, like Nie Ting, would easily advance.

As the head of the Heavenly Network, Nie Ting had to settle many odd jobs everyday. But his mind was never affected. His determination lay in protection and massacre.

But… the Hall of Swords? Dao, and Nie Ting?s Dao, were not Lu Shu?s Dao.

Thus, Lu Shu suddenly thought about it. What was his most staunch belief?

It was as if they had returned to the time he sat on the rooftop with Lu Xiaoyu at sunset. Back then, Lu Xiaoyu had made a mistake and attacked the wrong person. She hoped that Lu Shu would be able to forgive her, but Lu Shu had never blamed her in the first place.

The orange rays from the sunset were like beams of light that engulfed the ground and the crowds. It was very comfortable.

Lu Xiaoyu asked Lu Shu, ?Er… Lu Shu, will you still step forward bravely for me in the future??

Lu Shu confidently said, ?Yes, of course!?

?If someone scolds me, can I still hit him? I?m referring to a simple beating, not like today.?

?You can!?

?What if someone hits me??

?Then beat him up!?

?What if someone wants to kill me??

?Then kill him first.?

?What if the whole world wants me dead??

Lu Shu was stunned. As he saw the last ray of light being enveloped by the darkness, ?Then wreak havoc on this world.?

Time was like a circle. The character that Lu Shu had hidden would never be destroyed by the world. It was willpower that was surging through his veins. It was as if he was born to be the ruler of the world.

No matter whether it was cultivation, or stealing resources, it was as if everything that Lu Shu had done was to ensure that he and Lu Xiaoyu survived.

He worked hard to train and survive so that he could press forward courageously.

If there was a mountain in their path, they would move the mountain away.

?Even if we eventually die, that is the way of the world,? said Lu Shu calmly. His tone was extremely calm. He did not seem like himself. His eyes were as deep as an abyss.

But at the next moment, the cry of the sword throughout the heaven and the earth could be heard within a fifty kilometer radius! The trees started to tremble. Even the ground was shaking!

Sun Zhongyang and the rest were observing the movements in the forest. The moment the cry of the sword was produced, they all coughed up a mouthful of blood. The cry of the sword had injured their internal organs.

Although they were already injured, they were still Rank Ones and Rank Twos. How could they be easily injured by the sound of the Dao?

The area affected by the sound of the Dao when Lu Shu advanced to Rank One was unprecedented. It had never happened before, and would never happen again.

A Rank One would typically only affect a radius of five kilometers. Some who lacked resources were not even able to reach a radius of five kilometers. But when Lu Shu had advanced to Rank Two, he had already produced the sound of the Dao. When he advanced to Rank One, an even more surprising scene would occur.

But Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not know. How would they know the distance that the sound of the Dao affected? No one could do an accurate calculation. Furthermore, they were in the wilderness. The mercenary soldiers had decided to lie in ambush here as they were afraid of new and unexpected problems that would affect their mission.

But this was the first time that Sun Zhongyang had heard that the sound of the Dao produced by someone advancing to Rank One could injure people! Not only was he surprised, Xu Mujun, Mo Xiaoya, and the rest were astonished as well!
