Chapter 68

Body Technique Seventh Level is the patent of the nobility.

No. It should be said that even among the nobles with superior genes, there are few who reach the extraordinary level of Body Technique Seventh Level. This Body Technique Seventh Level is like a huge natural barrier, blocking the path forward for the vast majority of life races. Whether it's the nobility or the royal family at the pinnacle, few have climbed this peak. It is similar to the magic power of the citizens; reaching the Seventh Star level is already the ultimate limit.

Citizens at the Eighth Star War King level have never appeared.

"I still think my brother was crazy. He was completely trapped in some kind of mental obstacle, unable to extricate himself. But I can't explain his Body Technique Seventh Level, and I dare not tell anyone, for fear they would say I was spreading rumors to gain fame. As an older brother, even if my brother was really crazy, I still kept his belongings," Ma Ge sighed.

Seeing that Du Nan had no mocking expression, he felt a bit comforted.

Whether the honored traveler believed it or not, he didn't mock him. Originally, the Body Technique Seventh Level was such a 'nonsense' that anyone who heard it would think it unreliable.

"Decades have passed. I spent a lot of money and used all kinds of instruments, but I never managed to detect anything special about the two relics. Sir, if you don't mind, I want to entrust them to you. I believe they have no use, but I want to fulfill my brother's last wish. And I probably have nothing good to offer you in return. These two relics can serve as a token of gratitude."

Ma Ge's eyes were firm.

His expression indicated: You have given me a new life, and I owe you half of my life. If there's a chance in the future, I will repay you with my life. These relics of my brother are also the most 'important' things to me. Now, entrusting them to you is a symbol of my gratitude.

"Alright."

Du Nan didn't refuse and didn't want to refuse.

He vaguely guessed what these things were and also felt that keeping them with Ma Ge might bring disaster in the future.

It would be better for him to accept them.

"Ma Ge, you know I'm on Iron Shavings Star. Don't you find that strange? And how will you send the things over?" Du Nan thought for a moment and asked curiously.

Ma Ge laughed after hearing this.

He looked very normal and said, "Sir, everything we do with the Eight-legged Flying Horse is illegal, and all our members are criminals. Over the years, at least seventy percent of the members have been thrown onto Iron Shavings Star. Not to mention that you have received the favor of the Iron Shavings Star people and want to repay them, even if there were no connection, if you want to send supplies there, Old Ma would be all for it."

"I understand." Du Nan got it; the person in front of him was still a typical 'Black Foot.'

"Sir, you came to see me today to stop the show, right? If you want to leave Iron Shavings Star, you will have to get through the space-based weapon defense array. Old Ma doesn't know how confident you are, but after hearing this today, you don't need to take the risk," Ma Ge smiled, seemingly hinting at other methods.

"The show doesn't need to be stopped, just paused for a while." Du Nan didn't want to cut off Old Ma's source of income and also wanted to keep a good training place for himself.

"Thank you." Ma Ge's expression was slightly excited as he expressed his gratitude and said, "Sir, your kindness is greater than the sky. Old Ma chooses to trust you and entrusts the safety of my brothers to you. Without you, we brothers wouldn't know where to beg for food. Today, you can tell Old Ma the secret of hiding on Iron Shavings Star, and in return, Old Ma will tell you that the Eight-legged Flying Horse has a 'Folding Mechanism' hidden on Iron Shavings Star. It's a fair deal."

When Du Nan heard about the Folding Mechanism, he was shocked.

This thing is equivalent to a 'teleportation gate,' the largest component of which can instantly teleport a starship billions of light-years away.

In the Azure Star Alliance, this folding technology is widely used. On Iron Shavings Star... it's like digging a tunnel to escape from a prison, a super serious crime that offends all the major forces of the Azure Star Alliance. If this information leaks even a little, Ma Ge would die a thousand times over.

The two fell silent.

For a while.

Du Nan spoke up, "Ma Ge, your trust will not be in vain. I swear by my master's reputation that this information will never be revealed by me. I accept your gift with gratitude. If there's a chance in the future, I will personally go to the Tianyang Federation's administrative planet and get drunk with you. In the near future, I have something very important to do, so I have to interrupt my money-making plan for a while."

"I understand. Anyone who can be thrown to Iron Shavings Star at sixteen or seventeen must have a lot of anger inside."

Ma Ge was a newsman and had seen a lot.

Anyone who could be thrown to Iron Shavings Star and still become a Five-Star traveler, let alone escape the 'sea of suffering,' would know what to do.

"Three days. Sir, tell me a place, and I will deliver my brother's relics in three days. When you need to use the Folding Mechanism to leave, just let my brother know. They are exiled criminals and can only mix on Iron Shavings Star. They don't dare to openly show their faces in the Azure Star Alliance."

"I understand. Have him deliver the things to Iron Horse City, and I will personally receive them." Du Nan made a symbol for Ma Ge's brother to meet him.

Ma Ge nodded.

He originally wanted to advise the honored traveler to be careful.

But sensing that transcendent aura, he gave up.

Such a strong person is definitely someone who keeps his word and won't misjudge his own abilities. He must have complete confidence to act this way. Ma Ge could only think: In the small corner of the Azure Star Alliance, a storm is about to descend. The traveler's enemies probably don't even know that the person they provoked earlier is now the most famous warrior in the Azure region.

Four days later.

Du Nan received Ma Ge's gift and left Iron Horse City alone, heading to a deserted ocean island.

This gift.

Du Nan had guessed about it early on, but he only guessed half of it. Ma Ge had sent an additional notebook, the diary of the Eight-winged Flying Eagle. Inside, there were cultivation techniques for Body Technique Seventh Level. And the two items, one was indeed a fragment of a divine artifact. The other was a wind-element core... more accurately, a zero-star wind-element core... even more accurately, it was a bizarre existence that even the Thunder Emperor didn't believe in: the Vacuum Core!

"Is this fate? Even with strength, there is still some force in the universe that controls you."

Du Nan had helped out of pity when he saw Ma Ge's 'desperate expression' at the time.

He didn't expect that.

One act of kindness would yield such great results today.

Roar!

The island's unwelcome guest arrived, and the Silver-horned Crocodiles, as the lords of the sea, naturally couldn't ignore it. The entire ocean was their territory, and the island was the place where their new mutated members developed. The Silver-horned Crocodiles would not allow any human or any outsider to set foot on their private territory.

The sea beasts surged forward.

Countless mutated Silver-horned Crocodiles also rushed down from the island's mountains... Faced with such a formidable array, Du Nan smiled.

The newly fused Vacuum Core, still a zero-star wind-element magic power, could not be used in battle. But the fourth divine artifact fragment, now fused, was releasing boundless energy. Combined with the first three, a transformation beyond description was erupting. The Body Technique energy soared to an unimaginable height, giving him a feeling of invincibility.

"Kill!"

Du Nan roared, shaking the gray clouds in the sky.

On the sea, huge waves surged in all directions.

The Silver-horned Crocodiles, below the Second Star level, didn't even have time to scream before they were shattered by the sonic boom. Even the Third Star Silver-horned Crocodiles with massive bodies were stunned and spitting blood, almost losing their fighting ability. This roar also alarmed the leader-level star beasts in the deeper sea.

They sensed that a strong enemy had come today.

Battle!

I need a battle... The fourth divine artifact fragment seemed to be urging Du Nan to fight to adapt to the new enhancement. At this moment, Du Nan's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and a divine light appeared, as if he could see through the world.

In the hidden places of the island, under the sea sand, in the underground caves, and in the deep sea, the figures of all energy-bearing life forms, no matter where they were hiding, appeared in his vision. Du Nan's current eyesight could 'see' even the hibernating star beasts buried a hundred meters underground. Their slightly warm bodies were like lamps in the darkness.

As the blood overflowed from his eyes, these life forms changed.

The more powerful combat beasts became more distinct. Compared to the weaker ones, they were ten times 'brighter.'

The great battle was about to begin.

Whether they were cunningly hiding or charging forward, they were like pearls in the sand, easily distinguishable.

Faced with the wave-like beast horde, Du Nan, who had already reached Body Technique Sixth Level, was not afraid. When he tore apart the first Silver-horned Crocodile, the slight energy absorption into his body told him that he was invincible. Unless there was a Seventh Star fierce beast, he could retreat safely even if he was overwhelmed by numbers. In normal times, it would be difficult to slaughter wildly, but now, during the fusion of the divine artifact fragment, the absorption speed was ten times faster.

No matter how many star beasts attacked, they would all become his nourishment.

The beast horde surged, and the bloody battle continued.

After a while.

Du Nan's pupils changed three times. Now, when he looked at the star beasts, a 'map of energy flow' appeared. Each star beast had a different energy map, with the strongest points, the weakest points, the most energy storage points, and the fastest energy distribution points... The bodies of the star beasts were like machines, with their internal wiring clearly visible to Du Nan.

From keen insight to energy discernment, to the kinetic energy map.

The visual enhancement of the fourth divine artifact fragment allowed Du Nan to enter a god-like visual world. In this instant, everything seemed transparent, and nothing could escape his sight. No figure could hide from him.

The next battle.

Faster, simpler, and more lethal.

The strong defenses and weaknesses of the Silver-horned Crocodile horde were all laid bare before Du Nan. Even the size of energy flow, the amount of force, feints, and real techniques were all visible. In this 'god's view world,' no ambush could succeed. No matter how hidden the figure or how fast the speed, in Du Nan's eyes, they were all slow-motion scenes.

The bloody battle.

The blood of the Silver-horned Crocodile horde dyed the sea red, attracting more than a dozen giant beasts that even Du Nan couldn't see the energy flow of.

Their appearance boosted the morale of the beast horde to the highest point.

But after a day and a night.

"Body Technique, Seventh Level." Du Nan stood atop a mountain of giant beast corpses, like a newly crowned king: "From now on, I will be the only one in the Azure."
