69: Chapter 69 Star Messenger

...

With these annoying disputes resolved, the security of the Modu Base would naturally improve in the future.

Half an hour later.

Modu Martial Arts University, inside the high-end rest area specifically prepared for the Beijing Martial Arts University competition delegation.

Su Wu pushed open the door to a suite.

Inside the room, Su Yu was sitting cross-legged on the carpet with his eyes closed, resting his mind. Upon hearing the door open, he immediately opened his eyes. Seeing it was his father, a joyful smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Dad! You're here!" Su Yu stood up and went to greet him.

"Mm." Su Wu sized up his son, feeling the increasingly condensed Qi and blood within him that had completely stabilized at the Early Stage of the Martial King Realm. He nodded in satisfaction. "Your aura is steady, and your Foundation is solid. It seems that during your time in Jiangnan, you didn't just fall in love; you didn't slack off on your Cultivation either."

Su Yu's face flushed, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"By the way, where's Xiaobai? You didn't bring him?" Su Wu glanced around the room, not seeing that noisy white fur-ball, and asked casually.

"I didn't bring him."

Su Yu's expression became serious. "You specifically mentioned in our communication before that high-level envoys from the Aolan Star Domain might descend for this competition. As a Star Beast, Xiaobai's Bloodline aura is too easily detected by experts of that caliber. So, I left him at the Jiangnan Base and asked Lele to take care of him for a while. I'll go pick him up after the competition ends."

"Good."

A flash of admiration crossed Su Wu's eyes. This kid Su Yu was becoming more and more meticulous in his actions.

A Star Envoy wasn't like these country bumpkins on Earth; they were people who had seen the world. If Xiaobai's background was recognized, while Su Wu wasn't afraid, it would inevitably lead to more trouble.

"Since you're about to participate in the competition, as your father, I have to prepare some self-defense gear for you."

As Su Wu spoke, he flipped his wrist.

Clang—!

Accompanated by a clear, crisp ring of a blade, a crimson long saber suddenly appeared in Su Wu's hand.

It was precisely that Second-Tier Ancient Weapon seized from the Mars Li Family!

"This... this is?!"

"A Second-Tier Ancient Weapon."

Su Wu casually tossed the long saber to Su Yu.

Su Yu caught it in a fluster, his hands trembling with excitement. "Thanks, Dad! This saber is amazing! With it, I'm absolutely confident I can fight my way through the competition!"

Looking at his son's wide-eyed, inexperienced expression, a mischievous smile curved at the corner of Su Wu's mouth.

He leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down, took a sip from the water glass on the table, and then added out of the blue:

"Don't be so quick to thank me. Let me correct something."

"This saber isn't a gift for you."

Su Wu looked at the instantly frozen Su Yu and raised an eyebrow with wicked humor:

"It's a loan. Remember to return it when you're done."

"..."

Su Yu's face was covered in dark lines. Looking at the crimson long saber in his hand, he suddenly felt it wasn't as great as before.

"Dad, you're a Star King now, why are you still so stingy? It's just a Second-Tier Ancient Weapon, is it really necessary to 'loan' it?" Su Yu couldn't help but complain. He had thought his old man had encountered some massive Opportunity and was preparing to give him a full equipment upgrade.

"What do you know? Loaning it to you is so you have a trump card in a life-or-death situation."

Su Yu tightly gripped the hilt of the crimson long saber and nodded solemnly. "Dad, don't worry. This saber... since I've borrowed it, I don't plan on returning it."

...

The father and son's small talk didn't last long.

The communicator on Su Wu's person lit up again. Lin Feng had sent an extremely brief coordinate location with an attached message: "Come quickly."

This period of time was indeed the busiest Su Wu had been since his Transmigration.

He had just finished being a firefighter, and now he had to go be a diplomat.

Half an hour later.

At the core of the Modu Base, on the top floor of the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion.

When Su Wu pushed open the massive alloy double doors and stepped into this extremely luxurious reception hall, he saw two people at first glance.

One was Lin Feng.

The other was a strange man sitting boldly in the main seat, tasting Earth's red wine.

This man looked to be about thirty years old, dressed in an extremely magnificent purple robe embroidered with complex nebula patterns.

His skin had an unhealthy paleness, but the most eye-catching thing was his eyes—deep like two galaxies, with even faint, tiny stars constantly being born and dying within them.

This was a powerhouse from beyond Earth!

A Star Envoy of the Aolan Star Domain!

"Lord Star Envoy."

Seeing Su Wu enter, Lin Feng immediately stood up and introduced him. "This is the one I reported to you about earlier, the second Star King-level powerhouse just born in our Solar System, Su Wu."

Su Wu stepped forward with a calm expression, merely cupping his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Su Wu greets Lord Star Envoy."

The Star Envoy sitting in the main seat slowly set down his wine glass.

His eyes, deep as a starry river, instantly locked onto Su Wu.

Hum—!

In that moment, Su Wu clearly felt an extremely obscure power, yet one carrying a high-dimensional detection-like quality, cover his entire body like a giant net, attempting to see through his background completely.

This power far exceeded the scope of the Early Stage of the Star King Realm!

"At least seventh or eighth rank of the Star King Realm!" Su Wu's heart jolted.

But he did not panic at all.

The Supreme Chaos Body within him instinctively activated its defense mechanism, perfectly concealing Su Wu's aura.

A few seconds later.

The probing power receded like a tide.

A flash of imperceptible surprise crossed the Star Envoy's eyes. Then, he nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, one that carried a condescending tone but seemed gentle on the surface.

"Not bad."

The Star Envoy's voice had a strange metallic resonance as it echoed in the room. "To be able to simultaneously give birth to two Star King-level powerhouses in such a remote and barren stellar System like the Solar System is truly rare."

"It seems the Aolan Star Domain high-level's decision to hold this 'Seed Competition' on your Earth was not without reason. This ancient planet of yours indeed still has some undiscovered potential remaining."

The Star Envoy stood up, lightly straightened his purple robe, and let his gaze sweep back and forth between Lin Feng and Su Wu.

"Chief Inspector Lin, and Star King Su."

"This Seed Competition concerns the future strategic reserves of the entire Aolan Star Domain; there must be no mistakes."

The Star Envoy's tone became majestic. "During the competition, this Envoy will be in full charge of selection and judging. As for the perimeter security and dealing with those pests who might be lurking in the shadows to cause trouble..."

"I will rely on you two, the strongest of Earth, to assist this Envoy in maintaining order together."

Facing this high-and-mighty "assignment," Lin Feng still maintained a perfect smile and nodded slightly.

Su Wu also very cooperatively withdrew all his sharp edges.

"Lord Star Envoy overstates it."

Su Wu lowered his head slightly, his tone so humble that not a single fault could be found. "To be able to serve the Star Sector high-level and maintain the order of the competition is our duty as Earth's Martial Artists. We will certainly do our utmost."

Seeing how "sensible" these two were, the Star Envoy smiled with satisfaction.
