Chapter 146: Nana’s gift
Nana hasn’t fought since that time she had to protect Lan Xuanyu and Nan Cheng. Even when the War God Temple oppressed her, she merely fought back in spirit and was given a deep and unmeasurable evaluation by the War God Temple.
For someone like this, the higher-ups had decided that after researching, they would observe her for a long period. There was no doubt that they didn’t sense any danger or ill intentions from this person. Ever since she became unfrozen, she merely wanted a peaceful life; even when she had all sorts of peculiarities, she always stuck by the rules.
The Federation had a legal system and advocated liberal democracy. A few years ago, after Nana had gained citizenship, nobody was allowed to carry out any enforcement measures on her forcibly under any circumstances.
Of course, they could exploit the loopholes of the law, but the Federation didn’t have this intention at the moment.
Yun Yan didn’t know that in the War God Temple’s evaluation report given to the Federation’s higher-ups, there was a line that said: Highly suspected that she has already broken through human limits.
What did it mean to break through human limits? It meant that she had broken through the ultimate capacity and was god-like.
A god-rank elite! Ever since Douluo Planet completed its upgrade, mankind began having true top elites. Hence, the Federation wanted to invite her to Douluo Planet for further testing, only to be rejected by Nana.
Lan Xuanyu’s family set off on their journey back home, and Nana returned to the academy.
When she returned to the office, she found that Dong Qianqiu was already waiting for her there. These past few years, she had been watching Dong Qianqiu grow up and teaching her to cultivate.
“They’re gone. Why are you still mad?” Nana smiled and looked at her proud disciple.
Dong Qianqiu pouted and scoffed, “I can’t be bothered to be mad at him; he’s not a good person anyway. I just don’t understand why you like him so much.”
Nana burst out laughing. “And you still say you’re not mad? But it isn’t the time to be angry. You must start preparing for the coming test. It’s no easy task to get into Shrek.”
“En.” Dong Qianqiu nodded and suddenly said, “Teacher Nana, if I get into Shrek Academy, will you still follow me? Do you want to be a teacher at Shrek Academy?”
Nana was taken aback but quickly shook her head. “I won’t be going. I’m already used to life here and everything here, so I won’t simply leave. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me anytime. Now that communication technology is so developed, this wouldn’t be a problem.”
Dong Qianqiu bit her lips gently and said, “But if you’re no longer by my side, does that mean they won’t be able to summon me over anymore?”
A hint of surprise appeared in Nana’s eyes and she burst out in laughter. “Qianqiu, have you fallen for Xuanyu?”
Dong Qianqiu’s pupils widened in an instant. “No way, who would like that fella. I hate him and will never like him, so don’t let your imagination run wild! I just, I just…”
Nana smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright, I have an idea to help you with the summoning problem.”
As she spoke, she lifted her hand and twirled her fingers slightly. A silver light appeared and flew towards Dong Qianqiu.
Dong Qianqiu lifted her hand and caught it. It was oval-shaped and seemed like a silver shell; it looked very peculiar.
There were some fine silver patterns on it, and it was illuminating a gentle halo. In the halo, there were various colors subtly showing, creating a really pretty sight.
“Teacher, what is this?” Dong Qianqiu asked curiously.
“This is a piece of scale,” Nana said. “Keep it well. My aura and energy fluctuations are on top of it. It’s the same as my own spatial positioning, which means that if Xuanyu summons you again, Xuanyu’s team will also feel its presence. I have solidified the power of elements on top, so they can thereby use positioning to summon you.”
“Solidified the power of elements?” Dong Qianqiu was somewhat baffled. She hadn’t heard of this before and didn’t know how strong or difficult this ability was.
Nana smiled. “You don’t have to think too much about it, just keep it by your side. You can treat it as a necklace and wear it around your neck. This is my gift to you.”
“Thank you, teacher.” Dong Qianqiu smiled sweetly. “I’ll get going first to prepare.” After speaking, she skipped out of Nana’s office.
Seeing her retreating figure, Nana laughed and touched her chest subconsciously, then pulled out a delicate golden chain from her neck.
There was a pendant on the necklace, and it was a diamond-shaped gold plate with an indistinct arrow, giving off a faint golden halo.
This necklace existed in a space where only she could feel it. Not long after she was unfrozen, she felt its existence while she was daydreaming one day. She summoned it to her side and wore it around her neck.
She always felt that this necklace was very special to her and extremely important. But each time she touched it and tried to recall everything regarding this necklace, she would have a splitting headache. There would even be fear in her heart, and her mind resisted this memory.
Hence, she stopped forcing herself, but each time she looked at this necklace, she always had a special feeling.
This should be a piece of scale similar to what she gave Dong Qianqiu. However, while the silver scale belonged to her, what about this golden one? Who did it belong to?
…
City of Sin.
“What? Failed? How could they fail! A meteor-class attack ship and five meteorite-class surveillance spaceships should take only minutes to destroy a civilian spacecraft, right? What exactly happened?”
A raging voice resounded in the core of the City of Sin.
“We’re not sure about the details. The final message sent over was: Dragon. The other side appeared to be crying out in fear about a golden dragon, and then there was no more information. All of the spaceships were completely cut off, the whole army should be totally annihilated. We suspect that a space fleet was protecting that spacecraft.”
“Bullsh*t. How could a civilian spacecraft have a spaceship protecting it? Do you think I’m a fool? Investigate thoroughly and gather information for me. What exactly happened? Don’t bother coming back if you can’t give me an answer. Do you know how much money we accepted from them just to kill that Young Noble Le? Great, now we’ve gained nothing and even suffered double losses. Do you know how much all those spaceships cost? Useless, all of you are useless!”
…
The spacecraft flew smoothly. This time, they didn’t meet with any unexpected events. After a few days, they landed in Heaven Luo Planet space center.
Reaching home, other than missing Nana, Lan Xuanyu was elated. He had already broken through and was officially a Soul Grandmaster. Also, both his golden and silver Blue Silver Grass improved. The power of his meridians had admittedly limited the speed of his Soul Power’s growth, but it also allowed him to be way stronger than Soul Masters that were his rank, bringing him more benefits.
“You’ll have to return to school after a day’s rest at home. Your schoolwork is too much, too tiring. They should give you more time to rest,” Nan Cheng complained.
Lan Xiao hugged his wife’s shoulders. “Our son is about to soar to great heights. The Elite Junior Class’ curriculum is different indeed, so we must support him at a time like this. But Xuanyu! There’s something Daddy needs to remind you of.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Lan Xiao with widened eyes. “What is it, Daddy?”
