Chapter 774 - 774 Generous Garden Hunting Assembly
774 Generous Garden Hunting Assembly
The low-altitude shuttle flew steadily in the Siberian sky.
This time, the cabin door of the shuttle did not open. Instead, it obediently closed. There were no longer the few close guards who were squatting in the horse stance inside, and only Hasklovsky and Chu Nan were left. It seemed that the cabin was abnormally empty.
The two of them did not have any intention of conversing. Ever since Chu Nan got into the low-altitude shuttle, he had been lowering his head slightly and looking at the virtual screen on his personal terminal in a low voice.
A document appeared on it. He had been reading it since just now and looked at it extremely carefully as if he did not want to miss a word.
Seeing that Chu Nan was looking at it seriously, Hasklovsky smiled.
It was good that he was serious. Being serious meant that Chu Nan was interested in this matter.
As long as he was interested, the Marshal’s goal had a high chance of being achieved. Now, it only depended on what Chu Nan would choose.
After the silence continued for a while, Chu Nan slowly raised his head and frowned. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “What are those people from the royal family of the Declan Empire thinking? Aren’t they afraid that their descendants will die and end up with no successors?”
The document he was reading was a detailed introduction of the “Garden Hunting Assembly” that Marshal Chemekov had mentioned.
Through this document, Chu Nan finally knew what this Garden Hunting Assembly held by the Declan Empire and could even attract the special attention of a figure like Marshal Chemekov meant.
According to the description in the information, this Garden Hunting Assembly was a martial arts event specially invited by the royal family of the Declan Empire to the entire Milky Way. If the martial artists participating could perform well in the Hunting Assembly, they would obtain the generous reward carefully prepared by the royal family of the Declan Empire.
Just from this point of view, this Garden Hunting Assembly was nothing special. It was nothing more than a competition between martial artists to determine the outcome.
However, after reading the document carefully, Chu Nan discovered that this Garden Hunting Assembly was completely different from the traditional martial arts meeting.
The greatest and most important difference was the difference in rewards.
The rewards of other martial arts conferences were mostly material rewards. For example, the most direct reward was money. A small number of them were related to martial techniques, but most of them were only medium-level martial techniques that did not hurt.
For example, the reward Chu Nan participated in West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition last year was federation coins. However, later on, because of the sudden intrusion of the two Supremacies, Norman and Mu Yutong, the reward immediately increased in level and attracted widespread attention.
Under normal circumstances, there were actually very few people who had the chance to obtain an A-rank martial technique as a reward. It was extremely rare.
However, as long as he could successfully survive this Garden Hunting Assembly held by the Declan Empire in the end, he could choose any of the many A-rank martial techniques provided by the royal family of the Declan Empire as his reward!
If he could perform well in the Garden Hunting Assembly, he could rely on his performance to be divided into levels and obtain more than one A-rank martial technique.
In fact… he even had the chance to obtain an S-rank martial technique!
Chu Nan shook his head and recalled the simple introduction of the various S-rank martial techniques he had seen from the information. He still felt a little dizzy.
This was an S-rank martial technique!
In any part of the Milky Way, an S-rank martial technique could be said to be a precious treasure that all martial artists dreamed of. Any S-rank martial technique would cause all martial artists to crazily snatch it.
However, the royal family of Declan actually took out an S-rank martial technique as a reward! Moreover, there was more than one!
According to the information, the history of the Garden Hunting Assembly held by the royal family of the Declan Empire had already exceeded 5,000 years.
In such a long history, although the date of the Garden Hunting Assembly was not fixed, it was generally held once every 20 years. Up until now, it had been held nearly 300 times.
Someone had specially calculated that in the nearly 300 years of the Garden Hunting Assembly, the A-rank martial techniques taken out by the royal family of the Declan Empire as a reward numbered more than a thousand. There were actually more than 30 S-rank martial techniques in total!
Apart from using this to prove that the royal family of the Declan Empire was indeed worthy of being the number one martial arts family in the Milky Way, the accumulation of martial techniques far exceeded people’s imagination. At the same time, it also proved that the royal family of the Declan Empire valued this Garden Hunting Assembly.
One had to know that this was an S-rank martial technique after all and was evaluated as the top martial technique. Even for the royal family of the Declan Empire, it was impossible for them to have much.
However, they were willing to take out so many S-rank martial techniques as a reward to directly give to other participating martial artists. It could be seen that the importance they attached to this event exceeded their imagination.
Such a generous reward would definitely attract the true powerful martial artists in the entire Milky Way and greatly increase the average quality of the participating martial artists.
To be able to perform well in such a Garden Hunting Assembly and even defeat countless people to obtain the ultimate S-rank martial technique reward, he was clearly the top martial artist in the entire Milky Way.
Of course, such a grand event was clearly limited to participating martial artists.
According to the rules of every Garden Hunting Assembly in the past, the age of the martial artists participating in the Garden Hunting Assembly could not exceed the standard age of 12 cycles in the Declan Empire. In terms of the time of the Earth Federation, that was exactly 20 years old.
The reason why this rule was set was not only because it could prevent the Garden Hunting Assembly from ultimately turning into a grand event for Star-Grade Martial Artists, but because the goal of the Declan Empire holding this competition was actually to give the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire a chance to temper themselves.
This was what surprised Chu Nan the most.
According to the information, every time the Garden Hunting Assembly was held, all the children of the right age under the royal family of the Declan Empire had to participate.
This age referred to the standard age of the Declan Empire of ten to twelve cycles. In the Earth Federation, it was between 16 to 20 years old. It was the most critical moment for a martial artist to be the youngest and most energetic. They also needed to temper themselves the most and lay the foundation for their future breakthrough.
The meaning of choosing this age was very obvious. He wanted his royal descendants to be tempered.
Therefore… even if it was a member of the royal family of the Declan Empire, as long as he participated in the Garden Hunting Assembly, he would still be responsible for his life.
In the information about the Garden Hunting Assembly displayed in the document, it was clearly recorded that many descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire had died in the Garden Hunting Assembly in history. They had not even reached adulthood, let alone inherit the throne…
Therefore, Chu Nan asked this question.
“You’re thinking too much.” Hasklovsky shook his head with a very strange expression, “Do you know how many direct descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire are registered now?”
“How many?”
“According to the number officially announced by the Declan Empire, the total is this number.” Hasklovsky stretched out two fingers.
“700? No… it can’t be that few. Could it be… 7,000?”
“7,000?” The expression on Hasklovsky’s face could not be said to be mocking or bitter. He shook his head again, “No, 70,000!”
Chu Nan gasped in surprise. It was more than enough to stuff a fist into his wide-open mouth. There was only one thought left in his mind.
Were these people from the royal family of the Declan Empire… all pigs?
