Chapter 371: 371, Current Situation of Zhu Guorui_1
There wasn’t much to say about what happened in Dark City.
As always, Su Yu went undercover in the city’s slums once he entered, and controlled a gang leader using [Mind Control].
Through this gang leader, he easily obtained another real identity (this time the gender on the driver’s license was no longer a eco-friendly, vegetarian LGBT female, but a bona fide male).
He obtained the real identity on the morning of his 6th day in this world.
At 12 noon on that day, Su Yu boarded a plane to the Beak Country, avoiding the Lun Kete Federation’s flight routes as he did so.
But things were different this time compared to his time in Wanda, when he only carried out [Cleansing] on two thugs he controlled, without killing them directly.
This time in Dark City, Su Yu eliminated all the gang members who had seen him, leaving no traces.
…
Just as Su Yu was on the plane, a small country to the east of the Raging Sun Empire – Makadun – came to mind.
Makadun was a feudal kingdom, ruled by a king just like the Raging Sun Empire.
But it was different from the Blue Star.
On the Blue Star, because spiritual energy was exhausted, everyone was ordinary, and a king or emperor was no stronger than an ordinary person, who could be taken down by a single bullet.
Therefore, the Blue Star generally implemented an election system, and the “feudal kingdom”, a political system where a single family monopolized power, had largely disappeared in the river of history.
But on the Skru Star, because spiritual energy still existed, the family where the king resided controlled a massive amount of monopoly resources. The successor of the family, even without any talent, could be elevated to a high level using treasures.
An average Skru person, no matter how hardworking or gifted, would find it very hard to become a high-ranking warrior above the fifth level. But for a legitimate son of a king, especially an heir, as long as he was not a dunce, reaching the fifth level was a given.
Therefore, the feudal monarchial system is hard to overthrow.
This also resulted in a plethora of empires and kingdoms on Skru Star. While they are technologically advanced, their political systems still retain a strong feudal color.
Makadun was such a highly feudal country.
At this moment, in an underground cave in the center of Makadun’s capital.
A very young Skru, dressed very elegantly, was sitting cross-legged by an underground lake.
This was not an ordinary underground lake, the water in the lake was all made up of pure spiritual energy!
Not only the lake water, but the cave walls were also filled with crystalline spiritual energy similar to tree branches, sparkling and looking quite beautiful.
The spiritual energy in the cave was unbelievably abundant.
If the average spiritual energy content on the surface was 1, the spiritual energy content here would be at least 300!
The young Skru was sitting by the lake, using this abundant spiritual energy for practice.
Interestingly, what this young man was practicing was not the standard spiritual warrior or spiritual master techniques of Skru Star.
Not long after he began his practice, he radiated bright golden light, large amounts of auspicious clouds formed below him, and mini dragons took shape in the clouds, swimming around his body.
An extremely grand imperial aura was undeniably revealed.
When his practice speed reached a peak, the disguise of the Skru could no longer hold, and it began to peel off massively.
Underneath the hidden Skru appearance was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face.
If Su Yu had been there, he would have gasped in surprise, because this old man was Zhu Guorui!
After practicing roughly for a whole day, Zhu Guorui slowly wound up.
The “auspicious clouds” and “dragons” that had formed around him gradually disappeared, and the majestic aura of the emperor was retracted by him.
Zhu Guorui breathed out comfortably, thinking to himself: “This trip was worth it! On the Blue Star, spiritual resources are scarcely available, how could there be so much spiritual energy supply?”
“Why not just stay on Skru Star and not go back? Next time Su Yu comes, I can return with him?”
As Zhu Guorui thought about this, he slowly stood up from the ground.
He resumed his Skru appearance and left the underground cave.
Upon reaching the entrance of the underground cave, a servant holding a lunch box had been waiting there for a long time.
On seeing Zhu Guorui, he hurried forward: “Your Highness, the Third Prince, how was your practice? Have you broken through your current level?”
“Just a little bit more.” Zhu Guorui answered ambiguously: “But not to worry, by tomorrow at the latest, I am sure I will be able to break through my current level.”
“That’s good news! I sincerely hope that Your Highness can break through your current level soon and marry the princess of the Sunset Empire.” The servant breathed a sigh of relief and opened the lunch box in his hand:
“After practicing for the whole day, you must be hungry. I have brought some food for you, it has your favorite ‘Steamed Leko Bug’!”
“Uhh… I’m not hungry right now, just leave it there.” Zhu Guorui’s mouth slightly twitched.
Clearly, he didn’t understand why the Skru people liked eating insects.
“Huai Te (the servant’s name), while I was practicing, did anything significant happen outside?” Zhu Guorui changed the topic.
“If you talk about significant events, there really was one!” The servant immediately perked up:
“Just yesterday, the Lun Kete Alliance had a major incident that shocked the whole world! A Blue Star human went there to cause trouble, and it eventually resulted in over a hundred thousand civilian casualties!”
Zhu Guorui’s heart skipped a beat.
But he kept his face calm, asking calmly: “Blue Star human? The same Blue Star that Lun Kete and Raging Sun are leading the invasion of?”
“Yes! Your Highness, let me tell you…” Huai Te started eagerly narrating. Unsatisfied with just narrating, he also took out his mobile phone to show the images from the news to Zhu Guorui.
Looking at the two colossal dragons soaring in the sky on the screen, Zhu Guorui instantly recognized them as Su Yu and Morning Star.
Good Heavens, Su Yu actually ventured into the heart of enemy territory! He certainly is daring.
He didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Moreover, Su Yu indeed made the headlines.
First, he indirectly led to the death of over a hundred thousand civilians of the Lun Kete Alliance, then he caused a secondary explosion of the floating island, exacerbating the floating island crisis of the Lun Kete Alliance. He turned the whole world topsy-turvy.
Nice work, kid! Maybe this is how heroes rise in troubled times, Zhu Guorui praised silently in his heart.
However, on the surface, he asked the servant: “So what happened? Was the Blue Star human caught?”
The servant, Huai Te, burst into laughter: “Haha! Of course not! Besides, the Raging Sun Empire is playing tricks behind the scenes, how could they possibly catch him?”
“Playing tricks?” Zhu Guorui was puzzled.
“Just check out this news!” Huai Te switched to another news video.
After watching this video, Zhu Guorui finally got the gist of what had happened.
Apparently, after Donald Prunt, the God Level powerholder of Raging Sun Empire, punished Sidim for encroaching on its territory, he returned to Sun City, the Imperial Capital, and issued a law-
Raging Sun Empire’s high-ranking warriors who find or kill “number one” will have to hand over seventy percent of their reward as “personal income tax” to the government.
As soon as this law was spread, the interest of the high-ranking warriors of the Raging Sun Empire in Su Yu diminished significantly, and naturally, no one was looking for Su Yu anymore.
