Chapter 715: The Prelude of Global Evolution

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The commoner students did not react any differently when they saw Lu Shu. To them, he was just an unpopular practitioner student next door.

But to the Daoyuan Class, none could ignore his presence.

In the Lop Nur remains, many of the students from the other states did not know Lu Shu. Some of them had even got his name wrong. There was this student, from the Capital, who asked Chen Zuan, “Can I know... who the boss of the Flood of Bronze is? What’s his name? Is it Lu Bu 1 ? Or Lu Shu? Lu Hongliu 2 ?!”

But it was a different story for the Luo City Daoyuan Class. The recent events had changed their impression of Lu Shu tremendously. He had been fighting under the spotlight on the international stage while the rest of them were still struggling with cultivation in China.

“What’s wrong?” someone asked the Daoyuan Class student beside him.

The Daoyuan student, whose ego had just been inflated by his commoner classmates’ admiration, replied in a calm voice. “Nothing. I’m going home. You can all continue.”

“Why the hurry?” his classmates were confused.

The Daoyuan Class student drew a deep breath and replied with a smile. “I need to go back for cultivation training.”

In the past, Heavenly Kings seemed too distant a goal for them. They represented the strongest power in the country, which was understandable.

But when this goal had been achieved by their classmate, they would suddenly realize that there was not much time left for themselves.

Now, even an expert like Lu Shu was going home for cultivation, how could they remain content with their current status and receive flattery as if they deserved it?

Quietly the Daoyuan student walked out of the classroom, just in time to see Lu Shu together with their Heavenly King Principal Li Yixiao.

Li Yixiao said, “Come. Let’s have a drink.”

“Sure,” replied Lu Shu.

The Daoyuan Class student was dumbfounded. That was the difference between Lu Shu’s life and his own! How cruel!

“From Chen Bokang’s distress, +666!”

...

The school term of Luo Shen Cultivation College started earlier than other schools. All students had to report to school to submit their relevant documents. From then onwards, all cultivation resources, including magical stones, would have to be claimed from the Cultivation College, not their past schools.

In a steamboat restaurant, Li Yixiao’s face looked red in the glow of burning charcoal under the pot, as if he was drunk.

After two glasses of beer, Li Yixiao said, “Recently, there have been unusual occurrences in places around the world rich in Spirit Qi.”

Lu Shu was stunned. You Mingyu had mentioned that to him before, but he did not pay much attention. “What’s wrong?”

“The rate of magicalization in animals and plants is increasing,” replied Li Yixiao, “Not a big deal to us, but a headache for the commoners.”

Lu Shu nodded in agreement. “True. Even Class F creatures could cause immense damage to commoner societies.”

In the past, magical pets were rather popular. Some rich people even spent large sums of money on them and the possession of such creatures was deemed as an indicator of dignified social standing. But problems arose when these animals showcased their exceptional strength.

“In the Middle East, a few rich guys kept magical leopards and lions. But the animals rose in rebellion. Three Class D magical pets fled into the wilderness after slaughtering hundreds of people,” Li Yixiao said, “This was only a small-scale disaster. A true disaster befell the townsmen of an Australian town a few years back. One night, thousands of carnivorous red-back spiders suddenly appeared in town. Their appearance turned the entire town into a living hell overnight. Those spiders were both huge in size and aggressive in nature. Moreover, they had developed intelligence. The commoners were defenseless in front of them.”

Lu Shu pondered over Li Yixiao’s words. The rebellion of magical pets was understandable, because most domestic pets were in fact mistreated. This did not happen all the time, though. He had been treating Little Fury well, for instance...

Although Little Fury would probably disagree with that...

When magical pets could overpower their owners, they might inflict the harm they had received back onto their abusers, which would be disastrous for commoners.

But creatures like red-back spiders were even more dangerous. They would attack any edible creatures, not only humans, because this was their nature!

“Have you not noticed? Vegetation in Luo City has grown thicker recently, but no reports have been made so far regarding people being attacked by plants,” explained Li Yixiao, “But we must not let our guard down as Luo City was one of the most Spirit Qi-rich cities in the country.”

Lu Shu sighed with mixed feelings. “I didn’t know you could be this serious...”

Li Yixiao replied proudly, “Of course. This is a serious matter.”

“As expected, overseas remains are not considered as a ‘serious matter’ for you...” After some consideration, Lu Shu said, “We need to watch out for plants too. They also have plants’ nature.”

“There’s no such thing as plants’ nature,” Li Yixiao rebutted, amused, “They have no intelligence.”

“But they protect their seeds,” explained Lu Shu, “Some plants have developed special functions like poison or camouflage for protection of their seeds. This is called evolution, which serves to ensure the continuation of their own species. And what we are about to face... could be a global evolution.”

Things might not be that serious, but humans were not the sole beneficiaries of Spirit Qi, all living creatures were.

Now, every single commoner’s physical abilities had been strengthened, although only to a minimal extent, about a tenth of those of Class F’s. But this showed something.

“Speaking of which, your Little Fury...?” Li Yixiao asked hesitantly.

Lu Shu understood, so that was Li Yixiao’s key message.

“What did I just say?” asked Lu Shu.

“You were talking about the nature of animals or plants...”

“No. I was saying, may our collaboration next time be a success,” Lu Shu said firmly.

“Oh yeah. Right. That’s what you were talking about. Hahaha. Come. Bottle up,” Li Yixiao said, his face beaming with joy.

Lu Shu frowned. He wondered what on Earth had happened that made the Heavenly Network cautious of creatures like Little Fury.

In the end, Li Yixiao was drunk, as if this was a rare opportunity that he was allowed to drink. Then, he started complaining to Lu Shu. “Why is my life so hard? Huh? My second relationship has failed again.”

Lu Shu found it hard to sympathize with him... He grinned, “I thought you and Nalan Que have always loved each other despite the frequent hiccups. What happened to the first one?”

“Back then, we were really deep in love. Then I told her that I wanted to do that with her, but she refused... She said that should only be done after marriage. Then I said, no problem, remember to inform me when you got married...” Li Yixiao was lisping due to the alcohol.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Then?”

“Then she ran away from me with another man!” Sadness crossed Li Yixiao’s face.

It seemed that she had done the right thing... Li Yixiao’s second girl should be Nalan Que, but Lu Shu was clueless about what went wrong between them.

Lu Shu asked, “How about the second?”

“She refuses to run away...”
