Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Striving for the Opportunity to Become One of the Seven Monsters
Observing Lan Xuanyu’s confidence, the others couldn’t help but feel more assured as well. Although they still didn’t understand what Lan Xuanyu intended to do, none felt the urge to ask. Thinking too much was simply exhausting, and having him to contemplate sufficed.
Just then, a knock sounded from outside. Instinctively, everyone looked towards the door.
“It’s Yu Ge returning,” said Lan Xuanyu, signaling everyone to ease their tension, and he went to open the door.
Tang Yuge walked in from outside, draped in a cloak. Without the Treasure Hunting Beast’s illusion, she now appeared in her human form. However, she had actually burrowed up from beneath the ground to enter the room discreetly due to the isolation measures inside.
“How is the situation?” Lan Xuanyu asked after closing the door, directing his question at Tang Yuge.
“There are treasure vaults, more than one, and vast. But we can’t get in. The walls of all the vaults have extremely sensitive defense systems. Touching them, or any kind of contact, will trigger an alarm. It’s problematic,” Tang Yuge explained.
Lan Xuanyu opened the electronic map and said, “Don’t worry. First, mark down the locations of the treasure vaults you found today. We’ll plan our approach slowly.”
While they attended the auction today, Tang Yuge used the Five Elements Escape Method to search for the mineral trade center’s warehouse instead.
The trade center’s warehouse was bound to store a large quantity of minerals—a truly fantastic place, a real treasure vault.
However, after meeting Huang Yuanlang today, Lan Xuanyu realized that the top-tier treasures were unlikely to be in the trade center. Accordingly, his plan changed, deciding against any rash actions.
Plans must always be adjusted based on changes, always shifting towards what is most advantageous to oneself.
“Alright, everyone should rest now. Tomorrow remains crucial for us. Liang Pu should be able to return tomorrow; he has found a buyer.”
With a strand of the Treasure Hunting Beast’s divine consciousness, Lan Xuanyu could know Liang Pu’s status at any time. Of course, he couldn’t possibly entrust human-forged metals to just anyone. He had chosen Liang Pu precisely because he was controllable.
After taking turns to freshen up, everyone found a spot to sit down and meditate. Lan Xuanyu seated himself on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Constantly adjusting and executing plans was a considerable mental strain for him. Fortunately, his Spiritual Power was now outstandingly strong.
Indeed, ever since departing from the Seventh Fleet and entering the Dragon Horse Star System, he had been moving with utmost caution. Indeed, what the military saw as daring and audacious, Lan Xuanyu considered careful and prudent.
There was only one moment that escaped his control: when they believed the Thirty-Three Skywing warship to have been destroyed by the Sky Domination Clan. Otherwise, Lan Xuanyu would not have immediately destroyed the Sky Domination Clan’s storage for Space Source Crystals, causing a massive explosion on No. 76 Planet.
Following the explosion, he felt no regret. In fact, he never indulged in regret. Because regret served no purpose. What had happened couldn’t be undone.
Thus, he revised his plan. He decided to come to the Sky Dragon Planet. The explosion on No. 76 Planet was directly related to this decision. Otherwise, he would have tried to return to his own fleet as best as he could.
Coming to the Sky Dragon Planet wasn’t just for acquiring resources or seeking opportunities. There was another, more important purpose. It was the fundamental objective he set for this journey to the Sky Dragon Planet, and he was determined to achieve it.
However, upon entering the Sky Dragon Planet, everything there made Lan Xuanyu begin to adjust his plans again. The existence of the Dragon Clan made their infiltration much easier than expected. Moreover, there was a possibility to hold a position of power.
Sky Dragon Planet was undoubtedly the most attractive to Lan Xuanyu because of its abundant resources. These resources were huge not just for them but even for the Douluo Federation.
Why was Lan Xuanyu putting so much effort into doing all these things? It was to acquire these resources. He knew very well that after they finished their year of training with the federal fleet and returned to Shrek Academy to join the Inner Court, what awaited them was competition from the Shrek Seven Monsters.
He could imagine just how powerful his seniors in the Inner Court were. Although they were the most outstanding in the Outer Court in the past few centuries, they were, after all, only outstanding while in the Outer Court. They didn’t even know who their competitors in the Inner Court would be, or how long they had been there. But without a doubt, they were definitely the weakest team. They were included in the competition for the Shrek Seven Monsters because of their potential.
Lan Xuanyu had once told General Yu Muchen that he would become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
As his origins were gradually revealed, this thought grew even stronger. But how could he become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters? By relying on the legacy of Master Le? That was not what Lan Xuanyu wanted.
He wanted to become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters on his own merit, not just for himself but also for his companions. They were a whole and wanted to become the Seven Monsters together.
Undoubtedly, this was very difficult, incredibly difficult. Even Lan Xuanyu himself had no confidence. But he had to strive in that direction.
How to become strong in the shortest time? From the day he joined Shrek Academy, Lan Xuanyu knew the answer. That was resources!
Everyone’s cultivation required resources, and the better the resources, the faster the cultivation. This was an eternal truth.
Without the life energy of the Sea God’s Lake water at Shrek Academy, without the Eternal Fruit, without so many resources from the School of Life, without the Ice Fire Polarized Eyes from the Senluo Galaxy, could Lan Xuanyu have broken through to the fifth ring? To have strength on par with an eight-ringed Soul Douluo level? How could that be possible?
Therefore, Lan Xuanyu always understood that cultivation now truly relied more on resources. In the presence of sufficient resources, the process of cultivation was the process of assimilating those resources.
And for them, assimilating resources was fast. The key was whether there were enough resources.
This was a big problem not just for the seven of them but for the entire Thirty-Three Skywing. Although everyone had now joined the Inner Court, both Ying Luohong and Wang Tianyu had made it clear, overtly and covertly, that the Inner Court was short on resources, especially with so many of them joining the Inner Court. The teachers of the other grades in the Outer Court had significant complaints about this. It was only because their merits were so great that the Inner Court had no choice but to keep its promises.
This time, their assignment to the military was, in a sense, to ease the internal conflicts within the academy.
Lan Xuanyu originally felt that he might not be able to help all his companions in the future, as his own abilities were limited. The academy’s resources were also limited.
Yet, after this experience, his thoughts gradually changed. By stepping out of the Federation and into the outside world, he realized that in the universe, resources were never scarce; they were infinite. The key was how you acquired those resources.
Entering No. 76 Planet and seeing so much magic silver and Space Source Crystals, coming to Sky Dragon Planet and seeing such plentiful resources here stirred an ambition within him. If the academy can’t support our Thirty-Three Skywing, I will support it myself.
As long as he could acquire sufficient resources, he could transform these resources into strength. This was what Lan Xuanyu wanted to do now.
The Void Bug had already laid this foundation for him. He needed to maintain an identity on Sky Dragon Planet, an identity that would allow them to continue acquiring resources.
Accumulate resources, then transform these resources into strength. The next time they came, it would certainly be much easier than this time.
As their strength continued to increase, when they all advanced to God Rank in the future, the scene would be completely different. With enough resources, they would have a real chance to compete to become the Shrek Seven Monsters.
