Chapter 92

"Sorry, it seems I can't do anything more." Guroding gestured to Gan Wenxuan, indicating that he had revealed all his cards.

"It's fine, thank you for your help." Gan Wenxuan smiled, seemingly not giving up.

"If you have nothing else, I'll leave first. Don't cause trouble for Old Ma, or I won't care about your status." Du Nan sternly warned, and this impolite behavior made the other guards slightly angry. Magic power surged instantly, as if they were about to teach a lesson. Just as Guroding and Gan Wenxuan were about to stop them, the air suddenly became stifling, and everything in the room instantly lost its gravity, floating around chaotically.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Du Nan said, his figure disappearing.

In an instant, he had already grabbed one of Gan Wenxuan's guards. With a powerful throw, he pressed the guard to the ground, creating a spider-web-like indentation that extended for dozens of meters.

Alarms blared, and the guests outside panicked, with Brother Ma hurriedly shouting, "Calm down, everything's fine."

No one knew what had happened.

"Level 7 Body Technique?" The guard, who was a Level 7 Flying General, tried to resist with wind magic. However, his wind magic disappeared rapidly in this vacuum-like world, having no effect at all. He didn't want to reveal his trump card and was thus unable to break free. With his body technique far inferior to Du Nan's, he couldn't move at all.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Du Nan admitted openly, his strength undiminished, implying that he would take out this guard first if they all attacked together.

"Sir, please stop." Guroding, having gotten used to the weightlessness, regained his composure and quickly called out, "They have their duty as guards, sir, please don't take it personally. I apologize on their behalf. We came here to form an alliance, and even if we can't reach an agreement, let's not hurt our friendship."

"Hmph." Du Nan released the guard, who quickly retreated.

With this unexpected move, everyone put away their contempt. The young man in front of them had inferior magic power but possessed superhuman body techniques. Combined with this 'vacuum world,' they would be thoroughly beaten if they didn't use their trump cards. Even with internal mechs for protection, they had no chance in close combat. Recalling the 'Tornado Storm' from the video, the guards' apprehension deepened.

Everyone sat down again.

At this moment, Gan Wenxuan cupped his hands and said, "Sir, don't be in a hurry. I have something else that you will definitely be interested in."

"Oh." Du Nan's face showed disbelief.

"This item was something I wanted to use myself, and I've been studying it for twenty-three years. Unfortunately, I lack the talent to use it. Today, it's a perfect gift to form an alliance with you." Gan Wenxuan took out a seed core, which looked like a galactic vortex inside.

"Meteor Storm Core?" Du Nan's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Indeed." Gan Wenxuan was extremely satisfied with Du Nan's reaction.

The four nurses also noticed that the Wind Walker truly 'loved' the Meteor Storm Core.

They were very familiar with this abnormal reaction.

"If I want to accept it, what do I need to do? To be honest, I've been traveling between stars for years, searching for clues. I don't have the time to stay in one place for long, so don't even think about asking me to be a guard." Du Nan leaned back, sitting comfortably.

Everyone knew he couldn't bear to part with the core.

"Of course not, we won't waste resources. We need your help to assist one of us in becoming the successor." Gan Wenxuan said.

"Why not two?" Du Nan was puzzled.

"That's against the rules. In noble succession, a helper can only be used once. Otherwise, the strongest warrior would help everyone fight for the position. For a future new lord, he needs an ally, not an assassin." Gan Wenxuan explained.

"Why not you?" Du Nan asked again.

"I'm still young. The one competing for the position is my father, not me. Brother Rodin is also my best friend, so helping him is like helping me." Gan Wenxuan added.

"Oh, best friend? Alright, I'll help you. Be more specific, what do you need me to do?"

"Strength, preferably with Level 7 magic power." Gan Wenxuan said.

"Is that all?" Du Nan reached out and picked up the Level 7 Meteor Storm Core, a strong light emanating from it. Infinite wind energy instantly filled the entire space, flowing into Du Nan's body like a stream. This seamless fusion surprised everyone. Even more surprising, the Wind Walker was still talking: "One day, no, about sixteen hours, and I'll reach the Level 7 Flying General. Since you believe in friendship, I'll treat you as a person. Tell me, what do you really need me to do?"

Watching Du Nan fuse and talk at the same time, everyone was speechless.

Others would be afraid of the slightest mistake, not even daring to listen to external sounds. The Wind Walker, however, was talking and fusing, even calculating that he would succeed in sixteen hours.

What kind of monster is this... Does he really have a 100% chance of success?

Guroding and Gan Wenxuan tried to contain their excitement but couldn't speak. In sixteen hours, they would gain a Level 7 super ace. A super-strong fusion of the most special wind core, the Meteor Storm Core. The position of the lord seemed within reach.

Gu Bo, though shocked, managed to speak up: "We need you to ensure the life of the heir, or to kill the other heirs. Noble succession is like a war. In the future, a desolate planet will temporarily become our battlefield. Large mechs, magic bodies, and mech armies can all be used. The war will continue until only one heir remains."

Gu Bo explained in detail, and Du Nan listened while fusing.

After Gu Bo finished, Du Nan laughed and said, "You've wasted a Meteor Storm Core."

"What do you mean, sir?" Gu Bo's expression changed slightly.

"Traveler will win, even if he can't find the Small Ice River and Large Ice River cores. Do you really think he only has Pure Blue skills? If he were that weak, how could I consider him an opponent? The Silver Leaf Group has another monster, didn't you see?"

"Sir, are you referring to Li Yinzhu?" Guroding asked.

"No. Forget it, I don't want to talk about these things. Your insight tells me why you haven't reached Level 7. Your position as lord will be secured by the Silver Leaf Group in two or three years. These people are just for show. In gratitude for the Meteor Storm Core, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you want to reach Level 7, you need to have the right perspective. Not just in recognizing people and things, but in 'perceiving strong enemies.' If you can't sense true strength, you don't truly know yourself. Such an 'ignorant' self has no right to reach the Flying General stage."

"Thank you for your advice, sir." Guroding, not understanding, could only express gratitude.

"By the way, are Level 7 cores expensive? Get me some." Du Nan asked, testing them.

At this moment, Gu Bo suddenly asked, "Sir, if the Silver Leaf Group encounters difficulties in battle, would you help them?"

Du Nan nodded confidently, "Yes, I can do it alone."

Gu Bo turned to Guroding and gestured.

"Sir, the core you need, I will do my best to prepare. If I can become the successor, I can even prepare an Eighth Level core for you."

"Oh. Words are easy, but actions are hard. Can you really get an Eighth Level 'Small Galaxy Storm Core'?"

"This..." Guroding was taken aback.

Turning to look at Gan Wenxuan, he saw the other man shake his head, his lips moving slightly to form the words 'very difficult.'

In the inner room, everyone fell silent.

The things that this monster-level strongman could see were not something a few noble heirs could obtain.

Du Nan didn't quietly fuse. He held the core in one hand, absorbing it, and in the other hand, he flipped through the data sheets provided by Guroding. He occasionally asked questions to understand the wind-type seed cores he was unfamiliar with. This bizarre situation left everyone numb. They had seen strange things during fusions, but never such a 'calm' monster. Fusing a Level 7 Meteor Storm Core and advancing to the Flying General stage was a crucial step for a warrior to reach the pinnacle.

For the Wind Walker, it was like having a meal on the street. The most special wind-type seed core was like a refreshing drink.

Everyone sat quietly, waiting for the miracle to happen.

Gu Bo, displaying his 'scholar' skills, explained everything to Du Nan, including some secret knowledge about wind-type seed cores.

Brother Ma came in once, almost wetting himself when he saw Du Nan fusing.

In less than a few minutes, the guests outside also knew.

Everyone endured their fatigue, waiting for the birth of a new guardian. When Brother Ma mentioned that there were two 'senators' inside, no one dared to disturb them. At this moment, an unnamed wind enveloped the entire courtyard, alarming the capital's defense team. Old Hong and a group of generals and marshals also received Brother Ma's report and quickly arrived.

At this moment.

Du Nan had entered a wondrous realm.

It felt like fusing a divine artifact fragment, with his soul and mind gaining a vague but profound understanding. He vaguely felt that the world he had seen before was too small, and there were vast, unknown starry skies waiting for him to explore. There were even stronger powers waiting for him to pursue.

At this moment, countless battle scenes appeared in his mind.

It was as if he was personally on the battlefield... fighting giant star beasts, insect swarms, humanoid giants, and dragon-like super monsters.

His physical attributes were also gradually changing.

His control over magic power became more refined, his skills more adept, and his magic power recovery faster.

Step by step, Level 7.

It felt like crossing the chasm between man and god.
