Chapter 402 - Long Time No See
Chapter 402: Long Time No See
Teacher Manduka and the other students of Star Cloud Academy looked at Chu Nan in shock.
It was true that Chu Nan was famous, but when did his reputation become so great that even an academy teacher from the Vig Republic more than a thousand light-years away knew?
“Which Chu Nan are you talking about?” Teacher Manduka asked.
“Nonsense, are there many young people called Chu Nan in your Earth Federation?” Teacher Ronca waved his hand and tilted his head as if he was asking someone. Then, he continued, “The one who became famous in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. I heard he entered your Star Cloud Academy now?”
This time, everyone confirmed that the Chu Nan he was talking about was indeed this Chu Nan beside them.
Teacher Manduka waved at Chu Nan and gestured for him to walk to his side.
“Look, are you talking about him?”
Teacher Ronca nodded. Before he could speak, a tall man suddenly squeezed over and revealed a bright and straightforward smile to Chu Nan.
“Heh, Chu Nan, long time no see. How are you now?”
“Rodman?” Chu Nan was stunned.
This guy who suddenly appeared was actually the Rodman he had thought of.
“You’re in Sharam Academy now?” Chu Nan asked.
“Yes, after I lost to you in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, I worked hard to cultivate after returning. Then, I was very lucky to enter the Sharam Academy. Let me tell you, my current strength is much stronger than half a year ago. If you’re still at the level you were half a year ago, you definitely can’t defeat me!”
......
Chu Nan laughed.
Half a year ago, Chu Nan was not even an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, but he was already able to defeat Rodman in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. Now, it was true that Rodman’s strength had increased, but his strength had only increased even more exaggeratedly. How could he not defeat him?
“Speaking of which, you told Teacher Ronca my name, right? How did you know I was in Star Cloud Academy?”
“I was very unwilling to give up after being defeated by you back then. After returning to the Vig Republic, I often pay attention to your news. You’re also a famous person and can often see your reports. Therefore, not only do I know that you entered Star Cloud Academy, but you also broke through to the Internal Breath Realm,” Rodman replied.
“You got it backward. I broke through the Internal Breath Realm first before entering Star Cloud Academy. Otherwise, with just the Overlord Body Realm, I probably wouldn’t have been able to enter this academy.”
Teacher Manduka and the other students around him could not help but nod.
That’s right, if Chu Nan was not even an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist and could actually enter Star Cloud Academy, that would be too ridiculous.
“Yes, in short, you’ve improved too.” Rodman rubbed his hands excitedly, “How about it? Let’s fight?”
“Alright.” Chu Nan shrugged and looked at Manduka.
Teacher Manduka thought for a moment and asked Rodman, “About that… Student Rodman, what level are you now?”
Rodman chuckled. He clenched his fists and collided with them, emitting a muffled bang.
“I haven’t slacked off for more than half a year. I’m already at the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm!”
Hearing this answer, many of the surrounding Star Cloud Academy students revealed a trace of worry.
Teacher Manduka also frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, since Chu Nan could obtain eighth place in the entrance examination and had even displayed his powerful martial arts comprehension to everyone in the ultimate arbitration, his strength should be extremely strong and he should not have to worry.
However, when Chu Nan became famous in West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, he was only a low-level martial artist at the third-stage Overlord Body Realm. No matter how much he improved in the past half a year, it should not be too exaggerated.
Many people believed that he had the ability to win against ordinary fourth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artists.
However, this Rodman was at the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm. Could Chu Nan still win?
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but Star Cloud Academy had already lost three consecutive rounds. If Chu Nan lost again, it would be too embarrassing.
Seeing Teacher Manduka signal him, Chu Nan smiled and walked towards the gaming capsule.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Chu Nan to not fight. Teacher Manduka and the other students could only watch helplessly as Chu Nan entered the gaming capsule and lay inside.
A moment later, the familiar Martial Soul login interface appeared in front of Chu Nan. However, he did not enter his personal account space like when he entered Martial Soul. Instead, he directly entered a new virtual space.
As soon as he entered, a battle invitation appeared in front of him, showing that the target was the Sharam Academy of the Vig Republic.
Chu Nan understood that this should be a battle space specially customized by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce for Star Cloud Academy and Sharam Academy. Or perhaps, they had specially created a new system to provide a platform for such a battle exchange between academies.
He chose to accept the invitation and quickly appeared in the virtual arena where the other students had already fought.
Looking carefully, Rodman was already standing opposite him.
When he saw Chu Nan appear, he grinned at him.
“Heh, Chu Nan, although it’s not in real life, I still have to say that it’s been a long time.”
“Ha, long time no see.” Chu Nan smiled and nodded at him.
At that time, in West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, Rodman was the first foreign martial artist to show him kindness and friendliness. Coupled with his cheerful personality, it left a deep impression on him.
“Alright, let’s cut the crap and start fighting.” Rodman still directly waved at Chu Nan.
“Yes.”
Chu Nan replied and assumed a posture as he stared at Rodman.
In the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition more than half a year ago, Rodman was probably only a second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. In the end, after not seeing him for more than half a year, he had actually increased to the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm.
This increase was too huge. Apart from cultivating diligently in the past half a year, there should be some other fortuitous encounters.
Although Chu Nan was confident in defeating any fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist, it was not too much to be careful.
Outside the virtual screen, the students of Star Cloud Academy were gathered. As they watched the two people preparing to fight on the virtual screen, they discussed enthusiastically.
“Hey, do you think Chu Nan can win? The other party is a fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.”
“It’s hard to say. Although Chu Nan seems to be only at the second or third-stage Internal Breath Realm, I heard that his strength is not even inferior to Angie Prairie. He should be able to win, right?”
“No way? It’s one thing for him to beat those who are one or two levels higher, but this time, he’s going to fight someone three levels higher. If he can still win, won’t the martial artist level be a joke?”
“It’s indeed a joke to some geniuses. It’s not like you don’t know Chu Nan’s performance in the ultimate arbitration. I believe he has the ability.”
“That’s only because his understanding of martial techniques is strong. Moreover, they’re only F-rank martial artists. What can they prove?”
“Tsk, you don’t understand…”
“Alright, stop arguing. They’ve already started fighting.”
All the students immediately shut up and focused on the virtual screen.
On the virtual screen, Rodman’s figure moved and he threw a punch at Chu Nan.
