Chapter 987: Illegitimate Child

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The elimination of Ding Qiushui was the prologue to the Sword Hut selections. Everyone grew nervous.

Lu Shu did not expect Sun Zhongyang to leak the news that he had advanced to Rank One... he had failed to break into the ranks of the Rank Twos.

Not only that, he had been ranked first as a Rank Two. But at that moment, Ding Qiushui was the strongest. Thus, everyone was unhappy with Lu Shu’s ranking, but saw Ding Qiushui as the most troublesome candidate.

They were unhappy, but did not plan anything that targeted him. After all, he was only a Rank Two. Even the losses that the people inside and outside the palace had made in the gambling dens, it was nothing compared to the importance of the Sword Hut selections.

Who would calculate the money they had lost in the past during the Sword Hut selections? They would definitely get rid of their past resentment and calmly think about who to target.

But now, it was different. He was a Rank One... it felt as if many people had old scores and new grievances against him.

Lu Shu looked at the person on the wall and asked curiously, “Do you really believe the Sun family?”

“Why not? The Sun family has no reason to trick us. There is no conflict of interest.” The person laughed coldly.

Lu Shu was puzzled. “Then, if you know that I am a Rank One, why do you still dare to speak to me?”

Within the two days that Lu Shu had entered the palace, the number of candidates had dropped from 46 to 44.

Up till this point, Lu Shu was responsible for all those who had been eliminated... it had nothing to do with the rest...

Lu Shu moaned and groaned as he led Yi Qian back to the inn. There were three houses in the courtyard, one for each person.

Lu Shu went back and continued to eat fruits. Lu Xiaoyu curiously asked Yi Qian what had happened. After Yi Qian had explained the situation to her, he asked curiously, “Was the king always so irritable?”

To Yi Qian, Lu Shu was very irritable. The Rank Two would not have been able to run away. He was fiercely beaten up after being pinned to the ground by Lu Shu. Lu Shu even asked for ransom from him.

Lu Xiaoyu calmly said, “He has a special ability.”

Yi Qian was even more curious. How was his special ability involved in this? He could not help but ask, “What special ability?”

“He has the ability to make dog poop regret before him when he steps on dog poop...”

Yi Qian was speechless.

Lu Shu clearly knew that there were some gaps in his ability to plan. After all, a majority of his intricate plans had not succeeded. Even the plan to purposely trick Sun Zhongyang and the rest when Lin Lin was eavesdropping on them had been brought up by Lu Xiaoyu.

But Lu Shu was not convinced. Why did Lu Xiaoyu’s plans always succeed? Why was it that he always harmed himself with his plans?

He was mocked by Lu Xiaoyu at night. Lu Shu could not take this humiliation! He had to change Lu Xiaoyu’s view of him. He had to show her that his plans would work too!

If not, how would he protect his dignity?

During breakfast in the morning, when Lu Shu saw Lu Xiaoyu laughing at him, he was unhappy. “What are you laughing at? I have thought it through last night. My plans in the past might have been wrong. With my abilities now, do I really need to work with a Rank Two? No!”

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu interrupted him. “I want to ask you something. Where do your fruits come from?”

Lu Shu was stern. “I am talking about something important here. Don’t interrupt me. I think that I have to change my strategy...”

“Heh heh.” Lu Xiaoyu folded her arms and laughed coldly. Last night, all the stars in the fourth Nebula had lit up. Since Lu Shu’s celestial map had been locked up, there was no way for him to train. She was slightly curious about where these fruits had come from.

Lu Shu was not willing to tell her. There was definitely something fishy about this secret that he could not tell others about!

Yi Qian asked, “Boss, what strategy are you planning to change?”

Lu Shu looked at Yi Qian, as if he was telling him, “You are very obedient.” Then, he continued the conversation. “Why do we have to work together with Rank Twos? Not only are they weak, there are a lot of them. They definitely have evil intentions. Since the news that I have advanced to Rank One has leaked out, we have to work together with Rank Ones to kick the Rank Twos out! Perfect!”

“That’s perfect?” Lu Xiaoyu did not share her opinion.

Yi Qian went out. After Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had come to the Luniverse, they were unfamiliar with their surroundings. But Yi Qian was different. Not only was he a native citizen, he was a big boss in the underground. He was even an Imperial Dragon Soldier in the past.

Since Yi Qian had signed a Treaty of Alliance with Lu Shu, Lu Shu did not have to worry about Yi Qian betraying him. Thus, he only had to wait for information. He suddenly felt that it was rather nice to have someone run around for him...

Yi Qian came back at night. He said to Lu Shu in a soft voice, “I have found the person who is ranked number three. He is from the West Capital, and is the illegitimate son of Duanmu Huangqi.”

Lu Shu was puzzled. “Ding Qiushui was also the illegitimate son of a Master. Now, there is another illegitimate son. Are illegitimate children so common? Why don’t they nurture their children themselves? Why were they sent to the Sword Hut?”

Yi Qian was dumbfounded. “Their training will never be as good as that of the Sword Hut.”

This time, Lu Shu was dumbfounded. From Yi Qian’s words, he completely understood how highly regarded the Sword Hut was to the people of Luniverse. Yi Qian felt that the training from a Lord of Heaven was not as good as that of the Sword Hut!

This was a matter of fact to them.

Lu Shu asked curiously, “Is the Sword Hut that mystical? Can’t the Lord of Heaven nurture a Master? Furthermore, look at Ding Qiushui. He is participating in the Sword Hut selections with the strength of a Rank One. There must be a limit to how much he can grow.”

“It’s different.” Yi Qian shook his head. “To many people, the Sword Hut is like a belief. Back then, when wars raged throughout the Luniverse, we followed the old King of Gods to open up new territory. But in the process, we gained many enemies. The Sword Hut had helped the old King of Gods to save a desperate situation many times. Furthermore, entering the Sword Hut is equivalent to having a gold medal that prevents death. No matter how intense the battles are, they will be able to protect their lives. This is also the reason why Liu Yizhao survived.”

“Who would dare to touch the illegitimate son of a Lord of Heaven?” Lu Shu did not understand.

“There are other Lords of Heaven,” said Yi Qian. “Moreover, the Masters have to create their own rules. To many people, this cannot be taught. They have to rely on their aptitude, talent, and fate. But it seems as if the Sword Hut has a direct route to achieving the Master Realm. Although it is still very difficult, they can see the path that they have to embark on.”

“Wait.” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “The Sword Hut can help you advance to the Master Realm? Are there a lot of Masters in the Sword Hut? Aren’t there less than ten Masters in the world? Just how many of them are there?”
