278 The Star of Tomorrow (1)

Ning Shi picked up the phone.

Old Li’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Xiao Ning, are you okay? Stay in the stronghold and don’t go out. I’ll go over and help you now!”

Ning Shi had to hurry up and level up. He did not want Old Li to come over and cause trouble. He quickly said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Master.

“I’ve been training my butcher skills in the wild and have improved very quickly.

“Now, I’m riding the Hell Bike you left behind and hiding near the City of Armor. The Hilda family’s bounty has no effect on me.”

Hearing Ning Shi’s words, Old Li heaved a sigh of relief. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Xiao Ning. It was my negligence that almost caused you to lose your life.

“I’ve been bringing Xiao Fei into the wilderness these past few days and teaching him the skills of the Butcher. There’s no signal from the smart wristwatch.

“I just returned to New Star City today and found out that Sijia actually rejected the Hilda family’s application to redeem their mecha. You were also implicated by me and were hunted down with a bounty on your head.”

Ning Shi could feel that Old Li was really apologetic, but he did not like to hear apologies. It was a little awkward, so he deliberately changed the topic.

“Master, Junior Brother’s learning progress is very fast, right? After all, his talent is so good.”

Speaking of his grandson-cum-disciple, Old Li suddenly forgot to apologize. His tone was obviously excited.

“Let me tell you, Xiao Ning, Xiao Fei’s talent is too good. Did you know that he only studied for a night and with my guidance, he automatically comprehended the biochemical technique?

“The first time he killed a radioactive creature, he had used a biochemical technique to break down the meat essence.

“His talent is too strong, and is even more powerful than the ancestors of One Blade! I believe that the One Blade butcher’s legacy will definitely shine in Xiao Fei’s hands.

“I don’t need to surpass mecha masters, I just hope that he can let the world see the glory of traditional fighters again!”

The more Old Li talked, the more excited he became. He chattered on and on, and Ning Shi was also shocked by Yan Yinfei’s talent.

According to Old Li, Yan Yinfei comprehended the biochemical technique in one day and decomposed the Level 1 meat essence on the same day.

In two days, he would be able to attempt to decompose a Level 2 radioactive creature. Twelve days had passed, and his biochemical technique had been upgraded to Level 4.

One had to know that in terms of biochemical techniques, Old Li, who had cultivated for decades, was only Level 5. The reason why Ning Shi could cultivate to Level 7 was because of the game system’s cheat.

Yan Yinfei had relied entirely on his own talent. He only took 12 days to cultivate his biochemical technique to Level 4.

This kind of cultivation speed was simply a monster. No wonder Old Li said that his talent was stronger than the ancestors of the One Blade.

After talking for a long time, Old Li finally realized that it seemed unfair to his eldest disciple to praise his younger disciple crazily in front of him, so he quickly found an excuse.

“Although Xiao Fei’s progress in biochemical technique is very fast, his talent and attainments in swordsmanship are still inferior to yours. You are a true swordsmanship genius.”

Old Li was really treating Ning Shi like an 18-year-old boy. Ning Shi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said directly, “Master, I’m very happy that junior brother’s talent is good.

“Our butcher’s legacy has grown stronger, and I have benefited as well.

“Do you have anything else to do? If not, I’ll hang up first. I still have to train my skills.”

Old Li knew that Ning Shi had a steady personality, so he no longer bothered about the talent of the two disciples. Instead, he said, “I really have something to tell you.

“Today, after Xiao Fei and I returned to New Star City, we received Sijia’s notice that Xiao Fei will also be attending the Norse Republic Academy in ten days.

“To begin with, Xiao Fei is a mecha master. He has just learned the butcher skill and is currently in his rapid growth period. Initially, Xiao Fei and I didn’t agree to go to the Norse Republic Academy to study.

“However, I heard a piece of news.”

Old Li lowered his voice and continued, “So the reason why Sijia insisted on sending Xiao Fei to the Norse Republic Academy was because of a plan called Star of Tomorrow.

“This plan will last for 180 days. They will have to select the three strongest people from your batch of students to enter the ace training class of the advanced mecha academy on Taining Planet to further your studies.”

This was the first time Ning Shi had heard the name of another planet. He asked curiously, “Master, where is Taining Planet?”

Ever since the Battle of the Two Cities, the republic had sealed all the information related to interstellar space. Even with Ning Shi’s current level of third-class citizen, he could not find any information about interstellar space.

Old Li explained patiently to him, “Ever since humans went into outer space from the origin planet, they have been exploring the outside world. Today, there are already the Seven Star Fields. Within each star field, there are countless planets.

“We call planets that are suitable for life and reproduction life planets. On the other hand, we call planets that are not suitable to live in but have minerals and other resources as resource planets.

“Planets without life or resources are called abandoned planets by humans.

“The place where the origin planet is located is called the First Star Field.

“There are 1311 life planets and 3215 resource planets in the First Star Field. The number of abandoned planets is uncountable.

“Although the civilization of the origin planet has regressed due to the big explosion, it did not affect the overall strength of the First Star Field much.

“As the origin of mankind, the First Star Field has a deep foundation, and its overall strength is still one of the best among the Seven Star Fields.

“There are all kinds of competitions and conflicts between the Seven Star Fields because of resources and interests. Wars are inevitable.

“Among them, the Third Star Field is the most special. It is located in the middle of the Seven Star Fields.

“For the sake of its development, the Third Star Field declared eternal neutrality and never participated in any star field wars.”
