Chapter 212: He’s Not Strong Enough

“Heh, Mingxi, your interview is over, right? I discovered something fun. Come take a look.”

Feng Mingxi looked up and discovered that this guy who was shouting and rushing in was his childhood friend, Weisol. Only then did his impatient face reveal a smile.

“What’s fun? Is it worth you being so excited?”

“Heh, you’ll know when you see it.” Weisol stretched out his arm and made the virtual screen of his personal terminal face Feng Mingxi.

A scene that lasted for less than ten seconds quickly played. It was the scene of Chu Nan teaching the three of them a lesson at the registration point.

Feng Mingxi looked at it and asked with a frown, “What’s so fun about this? Aren’t the three of them just courting death?”

“The fun is because of this person.” Weisol pointed at Chu Nan on the screen, “Do you know who he is?”

“Who? Is he very famous?” Feng Mingxi raised his eyebrows.

“He’s Chu Nan! No matter how much you don’t care about these things, you should have heard of his name, right?”

“Chu Nan?” Feng Mingxi frowned and tilted his head in thought, “It’s that… the guy who became famous in some martial arts competition? I remember… he seemed to have been mentioned by two Star-Grade Martial Artists? What’s the reason?”

“Because the two Star-Grade Martial Artists said that he would not be able to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future!” Weisol replied. It was because of this that he was truly famous. Otherwise, no matter how good his performance was at that time, the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition was only a small competition. It was impossible for him to really be especially famous. Of course, I said that you should have heard of his name. It was mainly related to another matter.”

“What is it?”

“You should know about the ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’, right?”

“Of course I know.” Feng Mingxi chuckled, “This thing gave my father a headache for a while. I was gloating.”

“You’re actually gloating…” Weisol looked at him speechlessly,” Do you know? The reason why this ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’ can be passed is mainly because of Chu Nan. ”

“Oh? This guy is that powerful?” Feng Mingxi was a little surprised.

“It’s like this…”

Weisol told him about Chu Nan and the “Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act”. After hearing that, Feng Mingxi curled his lips and had a disdainful expression.

“Tsk, he’s just a pitiful kid who’s being used by others. The reason why the ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’ can be passed by the council is completely because of many important figures pushing it from behind the scenes. How can it be him?”

“That’s not bad, but without him, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

“That’s true.” Feng Mingxi nodded. “Then? What’s the purpose of showing me this? I don’t see anything fun about it.”

“Since you’ve finished seeing it, what do you think of Chu Nan’s current strength?” Weisol asked.

“Hmm?” Feng Mingxi was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and got Weisol to put the video aside. Then, he thought for a moment and said seriously, “Although those three guys are very weak, they should be at the initial-stage or second-stage Internal Breath Realm. From Chu Nan’s performance, he should at least be at the third-stage or even fourth-stage Internal Breath Realm.”

“Hehe, this is the fun part.” Weisol chuckled and fiddled with his personal terminal for a while before pulling out another video. It was the battle between Chu Nan and Maruk in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.

Feng Mingxi read it from beginning to end and could not help but reveal a trace of surprise.

“When did this happen?”

“It’s about the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. It’s only half a year ago.”

“Are you sure this was half a year ago?” Feng Mingxi asked with a frown.

“Of course I’m sure. This competition was very famous half a year ago. Look, I can easily find it on the Milky Way Network.”

“Is that so?” Feng Mingxi gestured for Weisol to play the video of this competition again. He watched it carefully and fell silent.

Seeing Feng Mingxi’s focused expression, Weisol smiled proudly.

“Do you think it’s fun now?”

The corners of Feng Mingxi’s mouth curled into a smile, “That’s right. This guy can increase his strength so much in half a year. It’s really interesting.”

“Then, do you feel excited about having another powerful opponent in the test?” Weisol asked.

Feng Mingxi glanced at him and shook his head.

“Unfortunately, he’s still not strong enough.”

…

Chu Nan put down his backpack and sized up his surroundings before shaking his head in dissatisfaction.

The room was very small, about five to six square meters.

After placing a bed and chair, there was no room to move around.

The bed was a very old single steel bed. The exposed parts could even be seen covered in rust.

The blanket on the bed was even darker. The original color could not be seen at all. The few holes revealed balls of tattered cotton that had been passed down from an unknown era. One would lose the desire to cover themselves with it at first glance.

As for the fact that there was no air temperature regulator in the room and no bathroom… Wasn’t that natural?

However, such a lousy room actually cost Chu Nan 198 federation coins a night.

One had to know that with so much money, it was already enough for Chu Nan to find a clean and comfortable room with an independent bathroom on the Purple Cloud Planet’s Sigma City.

It could not be helped. This was Earth, and it was even one of the top cities on Earth—Central City. The price of goods naturally far exceeded that of a remote planet like Purple Cloud Planet.

Moreover, the Star Cloud Academy’s entrance test was about to begin. In the past few days, many examinees and other tourists had come to participate in the test and had long filled up every hotel in Central City. It was already quite lucky for Chu Nan to find such a room to stay in.

“Forget it, I’ll make do for the night.”

Chu Nan sighed and touched his stomach before turning to leave the room.

This small hotel was so dirty and dilapidated, so the place it was in was naturally not the bustling area of Central City.

As soon as he went out, he saw that it was cold and empty outside. There was almost no sign of anyone.

As for the lighting facilities on the road, they had long been damaged. They could only rely on the light and moonlight from the distant tall buildings to barely see the road.

Chu Nan raised his head to look at the moon in the sky and could not help but sigh.

The experience of coming to Earth on the first day was really not very pleasant, causing him to be very disappointed.

If he had the chance to bring Chu Xiaoxi and her parents to Earth to play next time, he had to be prepared in advance. Moreover, he could not save too much money like this.

He clearly only needed to take out his identity as a Star VIP of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and he would definitely be able to find a good room to stay in those high-level hotels. However, he gave up because he was worried that the price of the room would be too high. Now that he thought about it, he had really miscalculated.

Living in such a lousy place, it was difficult to even find a place to eat nearby.

Chu Nan shook his head and relied on his memory to walk to the other street on the right.

If he did not remember wrongly, there seemed to be a night market street over there. He should be able to find some food.

After taking a few steps, Chu Nan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the alley on the right.

Across the alley, a few figures were forcefully pulling a much thinner figure in.
