Chapter 1089 - 1089 He
1089 He
In the Star Field that belonged to the Declan Empire in the galactic center, a star system with only four planets surrounding it was far from noisy like the outside world because of the upcoming Garden Hunting Assembly. It still maintained its usual calm and serenity.
On the only pleasant planet, in a grassland on a continent near the equator in the northern hemisphere, the extremely large manor with the traditional style of the Declan Empire was still embedded. It looked no different from usual.
In an empty space in the manor, the mysterious girl who had met Chu Nan in the nameless star system was still focused on cultivation as usual.
However, what was different from usual was that the black gas surrounding her body was even stronger now, and the pain on her face was even stronger. The sweat stains that seeped out of her forehead quickly gathered and condensed into bean-sized beads of sweat that slid down her forehead.
Sweat wet her entire face, and even the clothes on her entire upper body were soaked, vaguely revealing her thin body that was clearly a little underdeveloped. She looked even thinner.
The black gas increased and decreased at a frequency with the girl’s breathing. Every time it increased and decreased, it would make the girl’s closed eyelids involuntarily twitch and the corners of her mouth twitch. However, the pain brought about by this completely pulled her nerves and she could no longer control herself.
After this lasted for an unknown period of time, the black gas surrounding the girl suddenly shrunk and was absorbed into her body. The girl’s body trembled violently and her legs almost went soft as she fell.
She gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain her balance. Then, she stood up extremely forcefully and gently took a deep breath. Then, her left leg slowly took a step forward, her waist twisted, and her right fist gently squeezed out.
It was the first move of the first stance of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist that she had learned from Chu Nan—Sitting Horse Rush Fist.
In the first punch, her posture was not that perfect because of the pain in her body. However, with every punch, she would adjust the circulation of her Internal Breath with the fist technique. Gradually, she felt that the situation in her body had improved greatly. Her originally pale and even black face returned to normal bit by bit, and there was even a trace of blood slowly appearing.
After a set of fist techniques, the girl was covered in sweat again.
However, it was different from the cold sweat that she had broken out in because of the intense pain just now. This time, it was completely because her blood vessels had been fully mobilized by the fist technique that she naturally sweated after her blood qi was filled.
Not only did this not make her feel any discomfort, but it also made her feel extremely comfortable. Her entire body seemed to have become light.
However, this fist technique coupled with the incomplete cultivation method she had cultivated earlier still exhausted a large amount of her mind. It was not easy for a fist technique to complement the other Internal Breath circulation cultivation method that Chu Nan had taught her from countless light-years away. After practicing it, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been squeezed dry, but her mind was much stronger.
Although she was extremely exhausted, she still meticulously and completely followed the cultivation method Chu Nan had taught her to the limit. Even her body posture was not sloppy.
After confirming that she had completely cultivated the entire cultivation method, she gently exhaled and relaxed her body for the first time.
As soon as she relaxed, endless exhaustion surged from every corner of her body, almost causing her to fall asleep.
The girl bit the tip of her tongue forcefully. The sharp pain stimulated her to barely raise her spirits. However, she did not rest. Instead, she sat down cross-legged again and planned to cultivate her cultivation method again.
There was not much time left for her. She had to hurry up and cultivate desperately. Only then would she have the chance to achieve her goal.
However, not long after she sat down, Butler Wilcoran, who had disappeared for the entire morning, suddenly strode in.
Seeing the girl covered in sweat and looking extremely exhausted, Butler Wilcoran sighed in his mind.
Little Master was really too ruthless.
If this continued, could she really last until that day?
Seeing that the girl seemed to have sensed something and opened her eyes to look over, Butler Wilcoran quickly put away the complicated emotions in his heart and revealed a warm smile to the girl.
“Your Highness, why don’t you rest first? Coincidentally, I have some very important news to tell you.”
The girl tilted her head and glanced at Butler Wilcoran with a puzzled expression.
“It’s some very important information about the Hunting Assembly. You have to know it.”
Only then did the girl look enlightened. She thought for a moment, stood up, nodded at Butler Wilcoran, and pointed at the small courtyard beside her.
Butler Wilcoran naturally understood what she meant. He smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Only then did the girl walk into the small courtyard she had pointed at. After about 20 minutes, she walked out again.
From the looks of it, she had clearly just taken a shower and changed her clothes.
Perhaps it was because she had taken a good shower, but compared to before, the exhaustion in her expression had greatly faded, and there was no pain on her face. Her entire body became even calmer and even carried a trace of indifference.
“Your Highness, according to the news from the palace, the Hunting Assembly has confirmed that it will officially begin after 8300 hours of the Milky Way Standard Time, which is… Hmm, which is about six and a half days later here. Therefore, to be safe, you should set off for the Palermo Star System that the Hunting Assembly will convene the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
As Butler Wilcoran explained the basic situation, he opened his personal terminal and pulled out a document.
“There’s information on those young martial artists outside the royal family that you need to pay attention to. The people mentioned in this information need you to pay special attention to them when you encounter them to avoid a direct conflict.”
The girl nodded lightly and watched as Butler Wilcoran opened the information and gave her a simple introduction one by one.
From time to time, Butler Wilcoran would help her analyze the characteristics of this young martial artist displayed in the information and tell her how to deal with him.
As a fifth-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist who was only a step away from breaking through to the Star Realm, Butler Wilcoran naturally had the qualifications to help her analyze it.
The girl listened very intently and tried her best to squeeze every detail into her mind.
This Hunting Assembly was very important to her. If she wanted to achieve her dream, she had to obtain good results in this Hunting Assembly.
Moreover, this was very likely her only and last chance. She could not let herself miss it.
“Alright, these are the opponents you need to pay special attention to in this Hunting Assembly. My suggestion is that if you encounter them, try not to fight them head-on and conserve your strength. Don’t attack unless you’re absolutely confident. Your Highness, what you need is to stand in front of His Majesty in the end, not those useless S-rank martial technique rewards. Therefore, your first goal is to survive first. Do you understand what I mean?”
The girl nodded lightly and watched as Butler Wilcoran was about to close his personal terminal. She suddenly cried out.
Butler Wilcoran was immediately shocked.
Due to her childhood encounter, Little Master had never liked to speak. She might not even be able to say a few words in a year. Why did she suddenly cry out now?
“Your Highness, what do you want to say?” Butler Wilcoran immediately looked at the girl with anticipation and encouragement and asked gently.
The girl opened her mouth and spoke after a while.
“He…”
“He?” Butler Wilcoran was even more surprised. This “he” was clearly a male.
“His… information, why… don’t you have it?” The girl pointed at the personal terminal on Butler Wilcoran’s wrist and finally asked completely.
Butler Wilcoran looked down at his personal terminal in confusion.
“Who? Your Highness, who are you talking about?”
“Chu… Nan…”
“Chu Nan?”
Hearing this answer, Butler Wilcoran instantly understood and looked at the girl with an extremely strange gaze.
Her Highness… actually paid special attention to Chu Nan.
She had never cared about any outsider other than herself since she was young. Now, she actually took the initiative to ask about this kid called Chu Nan.
Was this… a good thing? Or a bad thing?
