Chapter 272: Don’t Understand Human Language?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mount Akina?

Which mountain is that?　　

Speed Star?

Old Driver?　

The two women from Spirit Treasures Pavilion were perplexed.

All these terms were totally new to them.

And another strange thing was the name of the young man in front of them—his surname sounded so bizarre!

In Metal Nation, they had only heard of two-character surnames like Murong, Situ and Dugu family. They had never heard of a strange surname like Fujiwara!

"Young hero Fuijiwara, about cooperating…"

"Forget about cooperating, the Exploding Heavens Faction has always been committed to self-sufficiency. We have never required the help of foreign forces, nor have we ever needed their cooperation. To tell you the truth, Spirit Treasures Pavilion isn't qualified to cooperate with Exploding Heavens Faction. The two of you can forget about this type of quality high-end cooperation."

Xu Que wore a serious expression. Both girls subsequently feel that he was not a simple person and must have some background.

After hearing Xu Que's words and witnessing such high-end technology in the car, the women were full of curiosity and in awe of the Exploding Heavens Faction.

What kind of faction that could be so low-key and mysterious that nobody has ever heard of it, yet also possess such a high quality divine chariot! the young women thought.

"Young hero, would you ever reconsider?" the two young women asked cautiously again, not wanting to anger Xu Que.

They knew that if they could cooperate with such a mysterious force, they would be able to dominate the divine chariot market in the Metal Nation!

Xu Que rubbed his chin, expression solemn as if pondering. "Well… I can reconsider, but I do wonder if you would accept the unspoken rules?"

"Unspoken rules?" wondered the two girls. "Please forgive us for our ignorance. Young hero, may we know what unspoken rules you are referring to?"

"You don't know of the unspoken rules?" Xu Que shook his head and waved his hand dismissively, face was full of regret. "Just forget it, seems like neither of you are like me at all! We are taking different paths and we shall soon part ways!"

The two women were immediately flustered. "Young hero, if we have done something wrong, please forgive us and guide us so we can improve!"

"Well… we'll talk about it later!"

"Young hero, could you disclose some details?"

"No, this is something that has to be said in the future!"

"Young hero…"

"Stop, this is already my bottom line. We'll talk about it in future."

"That's … okay, young hero, what do you mean by future? When it will be?"

"Anytime!"

As Xu Que finished talking, he looked outside the car window, turning his head a 45 degree angle. Indeed, he thought, all problems in the world are due to issues with communication! Why are the people from Metal Nation unable to understand human language? I've already said they're the unspoken rules… if I put it explicitly, can they still be known as the unspoken rules?

The two young women were stunned and did not ask further. Their hearts were stirring with shock as well.

Young hero Fuijiwara is so young yet he is able to talk with the 'zen' way of mind, they thought. He said he'll talk about it in future yet it could be anytime. That means he is hinting to us that when the time is right, he will tell us!

However, both of them had misunderstood the words of the Old Driver, Xu Que. They were now immersed in subtle admiration!

Xu Que was looking out of the car window, continuing to act cool. The system notifications kept ringing in his head to signal the rewards he was obtaining for successfully acting tough. The Acting Tough Points kept increasing until all of a sudden, not only had he earned back his rental charges, but he had even earned extra Acting Tough Points!

Acting tough is just like a breeze to me! he thought.

As long as I earn more than I spend, my Acting Tough Points will be well spent!

Xu Que curled his lips upwards and he felt there was no need to spend any more time with the two young women. Since he now had the luxury sports car with him, he should go to a crowded place to flaunt and earn Acting Tough Points!

Moreover, his main motive for coming to Metal Nation was to go to the Imperial Tombs and obtain the Genesis Metal Herb so he could continue to create trouble—ah, incorrect, so he could save and liberate another nation!

"I wonder if the two of you ladies would know which way I should take to go to the Imperial Tombs?" Xu Que asked politely, looking at the two of them.

The two of them were startled, then looked as if they realized something. "Oh, young hero, you actually wanted to participate in the Trial of the Sword Catacomb?"

"Trial of Sword Catacomb? What's that?" Xu Que shook his head. "I only wanted to go to the Imperial Tombs for drag racing," he said. "I haven't heard anything about the Trial of the Sword Catacomb. I hope you two ladies will provide me more details on this."

"Young hero, you are too polite! The Trial of the Sword Catacomb is an event held every 100 years. If you have an innate talent for the Will of Sword, you'll be able to enter the Sword Catacomb and obtain a Sword Soul. If you use that to refine your Soul Strength, your Soul Strength will become greater and sharper!"

"Oh? There's actually such a thing?"

Xu Que's eyes flashed with interest and thought, Trial of the Sword Catacomb—it sure sounds like a holy land for cting tough.

What's more, the location is also near the Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation, which means there is no conflict with my original destination. Making a trip to the Sword Catacomb seems totally worth it!

"Ah," one of the young women heaved a soft sigh. "Although the Trial of the Sword Catacomb has helped a lot of talented cultivators, this time the trial will be attempted by countless geniuses and elites. One of them is the Legendary Swordsman, Ye Chang Feng. We hear that he has such amazing talent and strength that he has never been defeated before."

When Xu Que heard the term 'Legendary Swordsman', he was immediately delighted!

It's the fucking Legendary Swordsman? Haha, it's a small world! After failing to act tough in Fire Nation, you still dare to come to Metal Nation to act tough! he thought.

He sniggered and shook his head. "Ladies, haven't you heard that the Legendary Swordsman, Ye Chang Feng, has been defeated in Fire Nation just recently?"

"Ah? What?"

"That's impossible?"

The two young women were stupefied.

Xu Que wore a faint smile on his face. "Seems like he didn't dare to spread this piece of news. In fact, I was there when it happened. He was defeated with a single stroke by Ye Liang Chen of my Exploding Heavens Faction. He was eventually carried away on a stretcher. You can ask around if you don't believe me."

"Exploding Heavens Faction, Ye Liang Chen?"

The two women were evidently astonished by the news.

Wow! This Exploding Heavens Faction … They actually had a genius that could defeat Ye Chang Feng! Could this really be true? both women wondered.

When they looked at Xu Que's expression, they felt that Xu Que did not seem like he had lied. Nevertheless, they had trouble believing this piece of information.

Xu Que didn't want to talk too much as well. After successfully acting tough and getting more Acting Tough Points, he decided to hurry to the Imperial City of the Metal Nation.

He looked towards the two women once again. "Will both of you young ladies enlighten me as to which direction I should take to get to the Imperial Tombs?" he asked elegantly, wearing a gentle smile.

"Young hero, you are too polite! We are already very close to the Imperial City of the Metal Nation, as well as the Imperial Tombs. You can go in this direction and reach your destination in just a few hours!" Both girls giggled and continued, "Young hero, we have been fated to meet here. In actual fact, we are sisters and we are also heading towards the Imperial Tombs to participate in the Trial of the Sword Catacomb. We didn't expect to meet you this way. It is really an interesting encounter that fate brought us."

Both young women chuckled in a rather coy way; their previously domineering arrogance was now nowhere to be found. At this moment, they were no longer looking down on Xu Que.

However, after Xu Que confirmed the direction he was travelling in, his face became blank and expressionless. "We are all cultivators who should be focusing on our cultivation," he said. "Fate is such an illusory thing, it's better if you don't believe in it! Alright, now that you have tried my divine chariot, please get off now. I, the Speed Star, am going to the Imperial Tombs to pick up girls."
