Chapter 643: The Ignition of the Seventh Star!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Enemy attack!”

“Abandon the place! In case it’s toxic!”

The smell was very special, no one in the Department of Faith Theory had ever encountered it before. They had been very cautious about potential schemes plotted against them by other organizations and hence, it was an understandable reaction to a strange smell like that.

Instantly swords clanged out of their sheaths from under their cloaks, ready to attack. However, there were no enemies, but only a box of stinky tofu behind the open door…

Lu Shu did not rest after the tofu incident the previous night. Since all of the villas would be occupied by the other organizations, it would be the same no matter who he pissed off. Thus, he placed a box of stinky tofu in each vacant building…

“From Francesco Russo’s distress, +666…”

“From…”

They had fallen for the same trick right after jeering at the Phoenix Society… Who the heck did it? That was so despicable!

Howard’s group had not walked far. They laughed out loud at the scene. Although they had been fooled too, it did not matter if everybody else had been tricked…

Then, Howard turned away, his face darkened. “Try to find that person.”

As a matter of fact, the Phoenix Society was genuinely interested in a collaboration with EO, which would allow them to slowly take control of EO and make them the Phoenix Society’s puppet. They had done similar things before.

Thus, they would not be pleased if their plan was disrupted by an outsider.

But no one had expected that the man they were looking for was sitting on the rooftop the entire time. At the moment, Lu Shu was overjoyed. This round of tofu attack had helped him with the completion of the third level of his Nebula. Perfect!

Having returned to his room, Lu Shu closed his door and redeemed the Nebula Fruit. He waited patiently as the seventh star lit up. What would his third flying dagger be like? Lu Shu eagerly anticipated.

In fact, most people only had one flying dagger because typically one would not have so much energy to spare and the daggers were hard to find. As for the Hall of Swords, they did not need so much effort to train their swords as they only relied on swords of will. However, even after the creation of such swords, one still required the Treasure of Heaven and Earth as the weapon container. That was the origin of Li Xianyi’s white jade flying dagger.

Nonetheless, Lu Shu needed neither effort nor resources for nourishing his swords.

Furthermore, his swords could be wielded as naturally as his own arms. Hence, the more swords he had, the stronger he was.

The Nebula Fruit transformed into celestial power, rushing inside Lu Shu. Like a moving galaxy, it swept across many ignited stars. Yet, it seemed that a bottleneck had occurred, just like what happened at the completion of the second nebula. The seventh star in the third level did not start its rotation, nor did it emerge as the brightest star.

It showed that Lu Shu had yet to pass the level!

The seven daggers, namely the Corpsedog, the Concealed Arrow, the Yin of Sparrow, the Seizing Thief, the Non-Toxic, the Filth Removal and the Smelly Lung, corresponded to the seven basic instincts of joy, anger, grief, fear, love, hatred and lust respectively. Thus, he must experience the emotion of grief this time.

Then, Lu Shu retrieved a trident from his Seal of Lands. Decisively he broke it…

But nothing happened. Lu Shu smacked his lips in confusion. “What? I’m very sad already…”

Lu Shu had given it a lot of consideration about how to pass this level. To him, what could be more grievous than the loss of personal property…

No matter what, nothing was comparable to class advancement. He would do it himself…

But why had he not powered up yet? The trident had already been broken! Lu Shu pondered. Could it be because… he was not sad enough?!

With tears on his face, Lu Shu broke four more tridents. One for the rising sun, one for the moon, one for his hometown, and one for his dreams…

This was so freaking heart-breaking! But still nothing happened to the third nebula!

Ha, even the cultivation techniques were unreliable now…

Lu Shu tossed the broken tridents back into his Seal of Lands, hoping that his son, Chaos, would not mind eating broken tridents… After all, it should not make a difference whether they were broken, right? For instance, broken dough sticks, broken chocolate bars and broken prawn crackers were still edible. So broken tridents should probably follow the same logic too…

As the saying went, daughters must be spoiled with material affluence but sons must not. Hence, he should not spoil Chaos either. It should make do with whatever was available.

Only then did Lu Shu feel better about the broken tridents. Undeniably, Lu Shu was good at staying optimistic…

Back to the question at hand. Lu Shu was now suspecting whether he had remembered the sequence wrongly. Could it be the third dagger was not the Yin of Sparrow, but something else?

But how would he know which one it was! Besides, he had not figured out how to trigger the other emotions too!

Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door. Xia Rensheng called from outside the door, “Li Teng, gather downstairs. We are having a preliminary negotiation with EO.”

“Okay. Coming!” Lu Shu smoothed his mood and headed down.

Once he came down, he heard Lin Ganyu talking to everyone, “The preliminary negotiation is equally important too. I hope everyone will cooperate with the three of us. Don’t cause any trouble.”

Xia Rensheng added, “Last night, someone tried to use a very despicable means to cause conflicts between us, the Heavenly Network, and the other organizations. Fortunately, his plot has been exposed. But please bear in mind that we have to be careful with our words and actions before the arrival of our support team. We will be able to act more freely with them by our side.”

At this moment, the secret practitioners behaved themselves too. Indeed, they did not dare to make any bold moves with only one Class C in the team, while all the other groups were led by Class B’s. Someone asked softly, “Who do you think will come and support us?”

“Some Heavenly King, of course. There aren’t many Class B’s. Easy guess,” another person replied excitedly. It was their first time working with a Heavenly King.

“Is the Lord coming? I think he’s rather suitable.”

“I don’t think they’ll send a Class A because Class A Heavenly Kings are so precious. It’ll be a disgrace to come for such a meeting personally. I also guess it’ll probably be the Lord. It’s said that the Lord was in charge of overseas matters.”

“Then how about… the Venerable?” someone suddenly said, “Didn’t they say the Venerable is also from the Heavenly Network? It’ll be excellent if he’s coming. The elders in the Route 301 black market said that the Venerable is quite nice to the secret practitioners despite his mean words and bad temper. They said the Venerable can help you make money but the Lord can’t…”
