Chapter 206: Something to Note
Chu Nan looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, “Why?”
Dunleavy shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Chu Nan, do you know how many people passed the initial assessment on Planet Macaw?”
Chu Nan was stunned, “Isn’t it 500? There are so many spots on every residential planet, right?”
Looking at their expressions, Chu Nan instantly thought of something and had a strange expression.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t used up all these spots?”
“That’s right, we didn’t.” Dunleavy continued to smile bitterly, “According to the data revealed by the media on Planet Macaw two days ago, there are only 384 people on our planet who have passed the Star Cloud Academy’s test this time. It’s not even 400. Compared to your Purple Cloud Planet that had to use the review test, the difference is really too great.”
Mengory sighed as well.
“That’s right. Although our Planet Macaw performs very badly on this every year, this year is especially bad. Perhaps we’ll become the last among all the Federation residents.”
Chu Nan looked at the two of them and sighed in confusion.
“So what if not enough people passed? Why do you care so much?”
“Of course we have to pay attention to it.” Mengory glared, “The initial assessment of Star Cloud Academy is the same for every residential planet in the federation. The more people can pass, the higher the martial arts foundation of this residential planet. If our Planet Macaw’s performance in this data is too poor, doesn’t that mean that the martial arts foundation of the masses is very poor?”
“Yes. The federation has recently pushed the ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’ heavily. In order to achieve results as soon as possible, those politicians’ policies will definitely lean towards the residents of the planet with a good martial arts foundation. Now that our Planet Macaw is so inferior to your Purple Cloud Planet in terms of data, the relevant policies will definitely benefit your Purple Cloud Planet more.”
Dunleavy added a few words and smiled at Chu Nan, “Of course, you’re a young martial artist from the Purple Cloud Planet. I believe you’ll be very happy to see this.”
Chu Nan had an indifferent expression.
“It shouldn’t affect me much. After all, I’m already an adult and my future path is more or less set. If the federation wants to promote the development of martial arts, the most important thing should be to support those children who have yet to reach adulthood. If every child can come into contact with sufficiently good basic martial arts, they can avoid a tragedy like me. In the future, the federation should be able to produce many truly powerful martial artists.”
Dunleavy and Mengory looked at each other and recalled the reason why the federation pushed the “Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act” and vigorously developed martial arts. Chu Nan was the key person to trigger all of this.
Dunleavy’s heart stirred and he asked, “Speaking of which, Chu Nan, do you still remember me mentioning Marshal Chemekov to you last time?”
“Of course I remember.” Chu Nan nodded. “Therefore, after I go to Earth this time, I plan to meet Marshal Chemekov and hope to obtain guidance in this aspect from him.”
“Ah?” Dunleavy and Mengory were stunned, “You want to see Marshal Chemekov? That… Chu Nan, the Marshal is the commander-in-chief of the Federation Army. He doesn’t meet outsiders easily.”
After a pause, Dunleavy continued, “Of course, the reason why I mentioned this is to tell you that I have the chance to see Marshal Chemekov when I go to Earth this time. At that time, I’ll strive to mention you in front of the Marshal. Perhaps I can persuade him to see you or give you some guidance…”
Mengory frowned at Dunleavy.
Although Chu Nan was also a famous young martial artist in the federation, his future achievements were limited. Why did Dunleavy have to spend so much effort on him?
However, it was naturally inappropriate for him to say this in front of Chu Nan. He could only silently make up his mind to persuade Dunleavy after he left.
“There’s no need.” Contrary to Dunleavy and Mengory’s expectations, Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, “Thank you for your kindness, but I’ve already been summoned by Marshal Chemekov. We’ve made an arrangement to meet on Earth this time. I don’t need you to introduce me.”
Dunleavy and Mengory widened their eyes and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.
How was this possible?
What kind of person was Marshal Chemekov? He actually took the initiative to summon Chu Nan?
Even if Chu Nan was famous among the young martial artists of the federation, it was impossible for him to be taken seriously by the Marshal.
Seeing their confusion, Chu Nan smiled and shook his head.
“Of course not because of me. An elder introduced me to him.”
“Oh? To be able to persuade the Marshal to personally meet your elder, he must not be an ordinary person. And after you returned to the Purple Cloud Planet…”
Dunleavy thought for a moment and suddenly clapped his hands.
“I know, it must be Old Master Xio, right?”
Chu Nan was immediately stunned.
“How did you guess it right away?”
Dunleavy laughed, “What’s so difficult about that? There aren’t many people on the Purple Cloud Planet who can make Marshal Chemekov give them some face. Apart from Old Master Xio, there’s no one else who’s willing to specially ask the Marshal to see you. He’s an old comrade of the Marshal. How do you know him?”
“He took the initiative to find me.” Chu Nan shrugged and roughly described his encounter with Old Master Xio.
“Yes, it’s indeed his style.” After hearing this, Dunleavy smiled and said, “I’ve long heard that he has a very good personality and can distinguish between hatred and adoration. He will especially take care of the people he likes, and he won’t even give them a good attitude. You’re really lucky to be able to obtain his recognition. Of course, this is also because you performed well in the martial arts competition. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have attracted his attention.”
Chu Nan spread out his hands and sighed helplessly, “Actually, I’m still very curious why he’s willing to help me like this. He even contacted Marshal Chemekov. It really makes me feel that… Hmm, perhaps I’m too lucky.”
Dunleavy’s expression changed and he asked, “Old Master Xio is an old comrade of Marshal Chemekov and a good friend. He definitely knows much more about the experience of the Marshal than others. Since he also recommended you to see the Marshal, then… is the rumor I mentioned true?”
“Yes, Old Master Xio personally confirmed it to me.” Chu Nan nodded and admitted, “However, he also said that the Marshal’s experience can only be a reference for me. In the end, whether I can do it or not depends on me.”
“Of course,” Dunleavy said with certainty, “No martial artist can completely repeat the path of their predecessors. If you want to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, you still have to rely on yourself. However, I still have to congratulate you. No matter what, it’s your luck to be able to meet the Marshal and obtain his guidance.”
“I understand.” Chu Nan smiled, “I’ll definitely grasp this opportunity and try to learn enough from the Marshal.”
Dunleavy smiled and glanced at Mengory. He suddenly coughed lightly and lowered his voice slightly. He said seriously, “Right, I have to remind you of something.”
“Hmm?”
“When you see the Marshal, try not to mention Supremacy Mu Yutong.”
