Chapter 129 - Illegitimate Son?
Chapter 129 Illegitimate Son?
While the X-881C civilian spaceships jumped out of the stargate, 4,900 light-years away, another small fleet composed of two large civilian spaceships and five Chamber of Commerce-level medium-scale military escort battleships also jumped out of a stargate at the border of the United States of Melaita and the Declan Empire.
After half a year, the inspection work of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s special Orion Arm Inspection Team had ended successfully. The leader of the inspection team, Rubes, was currently leading the inspection fleet and planning to use the route in the Declan Empire to return to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce located on the Sagittarius Arm to submit the work report.
The most important job had to be explained in person. This was a tradition that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had persisted for tens of thousands of years. Even though the existence of the Milky Way Network had long made communication tens of thousands of light-years away abnormally convenient, this tradition had never changed.
Therefore, although Rubes had long reported most of the work results, he still needed to personally return to complete the inspection.
On the bridge of a large contract-level civilian spaceship in the middle of the fleet, the huge virtual screen in front of Elkart finally stopped the data rolling like a waterfall.
Elkart stared at the virtual screen for about ten minutes before blinking. He raised his hands, and his ten fingers turned into afterimages. A large pile of data instantly appeared on the virtual screen.
After busying himself for about half an hour, Elkart finished the last operation. A progress bar suddenly appeared on the virtual screen. Then, he let out a long breath and his straightened body instantly softened.
Just now, he had performed a two-hour high-speed data processing work again and finally finished dealing with the various data problems he had encountered in this inspection.
This also meant that all his work in the inspection team had ended. He could finally relax for a while.
After closing his eyes and stopping for a moment, Elkart got up and planned to personally pour himself a cup of his favorite tea. When he turned around, he discovered that Rubes was still staring at the virtual screen in front of him. He frowned and was motionless, not knowing what he was thinking
Elkart was a little surprised.
Before he did this data processing work, Rubes was already staring at the virtual screen in a daze. Now that his two-hour work was over, he was actually still in this state.
Could it be that he had encountered a problem that even he could not resolve?
Elkart walked over curiously and raised his head to pat Rubes on the shoulder.
“Hey, Rubes, what are you thinking… Ouch __ 11
As soon as Elkart’s hand touched Rubes’s shoulder, a recoil that was not powerful but carried an extremely cold aura suddenly came from his shoulder, directly repelling his hand. He instantly felt an intense pain coming from his palm and could not help but groan.
“Hmm?” Rubes seemed to have just reacted. He turned around and discovered that it was Elkart who had arrived beside him. “Elkart, your work is over?”
Elkart raised his right hand that had slapped Rubes’s shoulder in confusion and discovered that there were no external injuries, but the pain that seemed to be coming from his bone marrow still did not fade, causing him to frown deeply.
“My work is already over. What are you doing?” Elkart raised his right hand and told him about the abnormality that had happened after touching Rubes’s shoulder.
“Oh, I’m circulating my Internal Breath to do an experiment. If you pat my shoulder at this moment, you’ll definitely be shaken by the Internal Breath. Fortunately, I was only doing an experiment just now and did not use too powerful Internal Breath. Otherwise, you wouldn’t just feel pain in your hand,” Rubes explained with a smile.
“Experiment? An experiment related to Internal Breath?” Elkart was even more curious.
That’s right, Rubes was a third-stage Void Break Martial Artist and could be considered powerful.
However, in the entire Noctem Chamber of Commerce, his strength was not considered much. This was because although there were no Star-Grade Martial Artists under the guards of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to date, there were already more than a thousand Heaven Control Martial Artists and countless Void Break Martial Artists.
In terms of martial artist strength, Rubes was not ranked in the Chamber of Commerce.
He was able to hold a high position in the Chamber of Commerce and was even sent to be the patriarch of this inspection team not because of his martial arts strength, but because of his much more outstanding work ability and leadership.
Therefore, although Rubes was a powerful Void Break Martial Artist, he actually did not have much time to focus on martial arts.
As for experimenting with Internal Breath at such a critical period, it had never happened before.
What experiment made him so eager?
“Do you still remember the name Chu Nan?” Rubes did not answer this question immediately but asked.
“Chu Nan?” Elkart searched through his memories. With his strongest data analyst’s super brain, he instantly found all the information related to this name in his memories, “It’s that Earth Federation person with abnormal human test data?”
“Yes.” Rubes nodded. “You should still remember that three months ago, I ordered the Earth Federation Branch to increase the level of attention they pay to Chu Nan in order to figure out the reason for these abnormal data on him.”
“Hmm, from the looks of it, there’s a result now? But what does this have to do with your Internal Breath experiment?”
The expression on Rubes’s face became a little strange.
“Yesterday, the Earth Federation’s Branch Office sent me another report regarding Chu Nan. They discovered that there are some shocking characteristics about him. One of them is related to the experiment I just did.”
“What experiment is it?” Elkart was puzzled.
“When Internal Breath flows in a martial artist’s body, it will maintain a certain frequency of vibration. Every martial artist has a fixed frequency and very few fluctuations appear. This is because the appearance of these fluctuations means that this martial artist has lost control of his Internal Breath. It’s very likely that his Internal Breath will counterattack him, and in serious cases, he might even lose his life. However, I’ve observed a large or even extremely exaggerated frequency fluctuation on Chu Nan’s body. It completely exceeds common sense.”
Rubes paused, but said something else that was not relevant.
Elkart rolled his eyes.
“Chu Nan is still alive?”
“Not only is he not dead, he’s also living very well. However, I just tried to control my Internal Breath to fluctuate a little according to this report, trying to change the frequency of the vibration. What do you think the result was?”
Elkart looked at Rubes’ expression and shook his head.
“Clearly, you failed.” “Yes. If it’s only a very weak frequency fluctuation, I can still control it. However, after exceeding a certain limit, I won’t be able to completely control my Internal Breath. I can only give up.”
Rubes paused, looking puzzled.
“If according to the report, the frequency of the vibration in Chu Nan’s Internal Breath has actually exceeded 3 kilohertz, then he should have completely lost control.”
Looking at Rubes’s puzzled expression, Elkart frowned slightly.
“I don’t know martial techniques, so I don’t understand what you mean. However, from the perspective of the data analysis, since this Chu Nan has so many incomprehensible characteristics, it proves that he indeed has a very worth to study.”
“That’s right.” Rubes nodded in agreement. “The Earth Federation’s branch office has the same opinion. They’ve submitted a report and hope to apply to carry out special research on Chu Nan. I’ve already approved this proposal.”
“That’s good. Leave this to your subordinates. They’ll naturally inform you when the results are out.” Elkart shrugged, not minding it.
The Noctem Chamber of Commerce was one of the three great factions of the Milky Way. As one of the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce, it was not a problem for Rubes to divert his attention because of his personal interest. However, it was not right to pay too much attention to an Overlord Body Realm young martial artist who was not even 20 years old in a remote small country like the Earth Federation.
“I understand.” Rubes nodded in agreement. Then, he glanced at the report on the virtual screen in front of him and suddenly laughed, “However, it’s obvious that those guys from the Earth Federation Branch misunderstood me. They probably thought that I’m paying some special attention to Chu Nan and actually gave him a one-star VIP card.”
Elkart immediately smiled, “It’s obvious that they’re bootlicking you. Perhaps… the branch office will treat Chu Nan as your illegitimate son in the Earth Federation.”
Rubes smiled and waved his hand.
“It doesn’t matter. In any case, since the branch office has this authority, it’s up to them. Moreover, with the value Chu Nan has displayed, it’s understandable to give him a one-star VIP card. However, I think… Chu Nan definitely doesn’t understand the meaning of a one-star VIP card. Therefore, when he discovers this, he might be shocked.”
