Martial Saint!-Chapter 1039 - 757: Here Are the Stars (Double-Length) (4)

Chapter 1039: Chapter 757: Here Are the Stars (Double-Length) (4)

"Sir, what’s wrong?" Lu Chenzhou asked worriedly.

"Aaron, I can’t shelter you anymore. An old enemy of mine has returned," Angus said. "Return to the village. If you can master the meditation practice within three years, there’s no need to find me. With your talent, you can land a good job at the Ethereum Research Institute."

Lu Chenzhou didn’t know that for someone with a Chaos Talent, mastering the meditation practice in three years is rare.

That’s enough to gain the attention of the Ethereum Research Institute. By then, Angus could earn a referral fee by introducing him to the admissions office.

During their two months together, Lu Chenzhou found Angus to be quite decent.

He believed that with his strength, he could handle Angus’s enemy.

But he didn’t want to act, as he had a more important mission.

"Alright, take care, sir."

After a fleeting encounter, the old and the young bid farewell.

Lu Chenzhou did not return home; instead, he wandered within the Silent Kingdom, posing as a Ranger Knight, robbing bandits to make a living.

Nowadays, as long as they’re not Transcendents, ordinary lives are cheap, and killing them has little consequence.

As for Angus, he vanished without a trace.

...

Time flew by, and four years passed.

The resources obtained from robbing mortal bandits were insufficient to support Lu Chenzhou’s cultivation.

Martial Arts Cultivation requires a large amount of high-energy Qi-Blood treasures.

All of which are controlled by Elemental Lords like Angus or possessed by the Ethereum Research Institute.

Nonetheless, Lu Chenzhou still became a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"A ten-year-old Grandmaster, my strength has finally returned somewhat. I can go to the Ethereum Research Institute."

Over the past three years, Lu Chenzhou focused little on the meditation practice, remaining at the beginner level, nearing proficiency.

In Martial Arts, he was confident he could deceive the scrutiny of the institute’s strong practitioners.

Regarding meditation practices, he couldn’t be certain.

He aimed to return to the peak of Martial Arts as swiftly as possible, so he could dominate in the Land of the Stars.

Facing the divine presence here, he could maneuver with ease.

Then, he would find a way to break through the Tenth Rank in Dao Understanding, overcome the Heart Tribulation, and return home.

...

On this day, riding toward the Ethereum Research Institute, he suddenly heard the sound of spell explosions ahead.

"There are Transcendents fighting, but the spell fluctuations are weak."

Lu Chenzhou hurriedly dismounted, sneaking closer.

In the sky above a distant village, a gray-robed Elemental Master was being besieged by two black-robed Elemental Masters.

"Angus, he still hasn’t escaped... ah."

Seeing an old acquaintance, Lu Chenzhou sighed softly.

He leapt lightly, like a Great Peng spreading its wings, using the Cloud Ladder to ride the winds to the clouds.

"Angus, you hid so deeply. You caused us brothers to be hunted by the Ethereum Research Institute bitterly."

The two black-robed men sneered coldly.

"You colluded with the remnants of the Ancient God, a grievous crime, yet you dare show your face?!" Angus retorted coldly.

"Tsk tsk, you might not know, the Great Element Lord has already fallen on the Nest battlefield, the times have changed." The black-robed man laughed heartily.

Angus’s expression changed, lamenting the increasingly chaotic world.

He muttered words, blood seeped from his body.

"Madman, he’s casting a Forbidden Curse." The black-robed man’s body lit up with a barrier, retreating swiftly.

Seizing the opportunity, Angus fled madly.

"Should we pursue?"

"Pursue!"

The two used a flying spell, rapidly giving chase.

Suddenly, a heavy figure fell like a meteor.

The earth shook, the dust settled, leaving only a large pit and two patches of flesh.

"It’s been a while since I killed such weak enemies."

Lu Chenzhou murmured, blazing True Qi erupted from his palm, turning the enemies to ashes.

He didn’t dare take any items related to the Transcendents, fearing pursuit.

He only collected the gold and silver for Martial Arts Cultivation.

With a swift leap, he disappeared at the horizon.

In no time, upon hearing commotion, Angus arrived at the scene.

"A Second Level and a First Rank Elemental Master, just like that... Was that Spell·Skyfire Meteor just now?"

He didn’t know which esteemed figure saved him; this level could be a teacher at the institute.

With his status, he couldn’t forge such connections.

Collecting the spoils the figure didn’t bother to take, Angus left.

Lu Chenzhou watched his silhouette fade away: "Consider this another causality settled."

...

The following days, Lu Chenzhou smoothly joined the Ethereum Research Institute, becoming a mentor’s apprentice.

The resources here were indeed far better than those at Angus’s.

He only needed to occasionally practice meditation, showing a bit of talent to receive investments and favors from his mentor.

Using the rewards, he purchased resources for Martial Arts Cultivation, silently strengthening himself.

Gradually, he adapted more to his identity as Allen.

People began to know that at the Silent Kingdom’s Ethereum Research Institute branch, a Chaos Talent with decent aptitude had arrived.

But in every era, geniuses are as plentiful as carp crossing a river.

Little Aaron was not yet a household name.

...

Golden Crow flies, Jade Rabbit runs.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Chenzhou’s reincarnation spanned thirty years.

His Martial Arts Cultivation had reached the Eight Realms level, even surpassing the strength of this branch’s dean.

Strangely, for some unknown reason, during his Breakthrough Seven and Eight, no great tribulation descended.

He felt as if he was drifting outside of this universe, free from restraint.

Over twenty years of cultivation, his Elemental Master level had barely reached the Fourth Level.

In this world, he was considered a favored child of heaven, but not so much as to be a thorn in the side of the institute’s adversaries, just right.

At the Ethereum Research Institute, aside from cultivating, Lu Chenzhou delved into the library to study history.

As he became a Fourth Level expert, library access further expanded.

One day, amidst the sea of books, he found some information about the Evil God of Stars.

Holding the ancient texts, Lu Chenzhou murmured to himself.

"Primordial beings... Ancient God resurrection?"
