Chapter 268: How Can I Be Number One?
The small landing ship was silent.
Everyone blankly watched as Chu Nan held a huge piece of meat that was even larger than his face and ate heartily. They were speechless for a long time.
After a long time, a member of the rescue team forced a smile and said, “Cough… this… this Chu Nan… has a huge appetite…”
The others turned to look at him and did not speak.
That team member helplessly spread out his hands, “What do you want me to say? Could it be that we still have to discuss the problem of rescuing him?”
Hearing the word “rescue”, the other team members looked at the leader.
The leader frowned as he looked at Chu Nan on the virtual screen. He thought for a moment and shook his head.
“There’s no need. Since even a C-rank beast can’t kill him, there’s no need for our help.”
After saying that, he turned to the team member who had been responsible for monitoring Chu Nan’s personal condition and asked, “How’s his current condition? If he encounters another battle, can he persist?”
The expression on that team member’s face was extremely strange.
“This… you definitely won’t believe it. His current physical condition is actually much better than before…”
“How is that possible!” Immediately, a team member retorted, “He just fought with the Storm Killer King. Even if he wins, he’ll at least be injured, right? We clearly saw that his leg should have been broken by the Storm Killer King. How can he…”
Before he could finish, he swallowed his words.
This was because on the screen, Chu Nan was squatting on the ground and biting on a huge piece of meat happily. His legs were firmly supporting his body, so how could anyone see any signs of breaking?
“Pull it closer and take a closer look.” The leader suddenly instructed.
“Yes.”
The team member in charge of monitoring immediately zoomed in and even circled Chu Nan. He discovered that other than some blood on his body, he did not seem to be heavily injured.
In the extremely precise scene, it could even be seen that his skin was not even broken!
“This… this is too ridiculous!”
Not only was the team member who had asked the question just now, after seeing this situation, almost all the team members shouted in disbelief.
“How can he not be injured at all?”
“That’s right. There’s not even a scratch. How is this possible?!”
“I also remember seeing that his leg seemed to be broken just now. It’s impossible for me to be wrong…”
“What’s going on? It can’t be that our eyes are playing tricks on us, right?”
The leader pondered for a moment and waved his hand. “Alright, now is not the time to discuss these problems. Since we’ve confirmed that his physical condition is fine, our rescue operation will temporarily end. Immediately connect me to Director Sun. I want to report the situation to him.”
“Report directly to Director Sun?” The surrounding team members were a little strange.
Logically speaking, after the rescue team’s mission was completed, they only needed to submit a report.
Moreover, such a rescue operation that was canceled midway should not have alarmed Director Sun at all.
“This kid called Chu Nan is clearly extraordinary to be able to kill a C-rank ferocious beast as an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. I have to report this special situation to Director Sun in time and ask him to pay more attention to this kid,” the leader said.
The team members looked at each other. One of them said hesitantly, “But speaking of this Chu Nan… I remember now. Wasn’t he once judged by the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, Mu Yutong and Norman, to be almost impossible to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?”
“So what?” The leader sneered and pointed at Chu Nan who was still eating meat on the virtual screen, “You all saw it just now. If he hadn’t already comprehended spatial energy, it would be impossible for him to break through the Storm Killer King’s protective Gale. He was able to comprehend spatial energy when he was still at the initial-stage Internal Breath Realm, so how can he not break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future? What a joke of an evaluation!”

…
Feng Mingxi casually slapped the head of a Giant-Tailed Spirit Lizard. The powerful Internal Breath of a fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist surged out wildly and directly shattered the head of this Giant-Tailed Spirit Lizard.
“Hey, Weisol, quickly scan it. After this, we’ll go to the next place.”
Feng Mingxi shouted, but he did not hear Weisol’s response. He turned around in confusion and discovered that Weisol was actually staring at the virtual screen of his personal terminal with a frown and a surprised expression.
“Hey, what are you daydreaming about?” Feng Mingxi urged, “It won’t increase by itself just by looking at the rankings. Come over and scan this one first. This way, your points will exceed 1,000. You should be able to squeeze into the top 200, right?”
Weisol was still too stunned to answer.
Feng Mingxi became impatient and walked over to pat Weisol.
Weisol jolted awake.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Feng Mingxi asked.
Weisol nodded and then changed to an excited expression.
“Mingxi, do you know what I discovered just now?”
“What?” Feng Mingxi was a little strange. “Can you see anything from this ranking?”
“I really saw something!” Weisol pointed at the real-time points ranking on the virtual screen, “Look at this…”
Feng Mingxi leaned over in confusion and discovered that Weisol was pointing at the guy ranked 88th on the rankings. His name was Chu Nan.
“Chu Nan? You seem to have mentioned this to me before?”
“Yes. It’s that guy who was said by two Star-Grade Martial Artists to be unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate,” Weisol said excitedly, “Do you know what I discovered on him just now?”
“Discovered my ass! You don’t even know where he is now. How can you know what he’s doing?”
“Of course!” Weisol proudly pointed at the points ranking, “I just discovered that Chu Nan’s points actually increased by 100!”
“Oh?” Feng Mingxi raised his eyebrows in surprise, “It seems that this guy is really not bad. He can actually deal with ten D-rank ferocious beasts in a row. However, it’s possible that someone helped him kill them and made him gather them for a scan, right? Just like when I helped you farm points yesterday.”
“No, no, no. It’s different.” Weisol immediately shook his head, “He gained 100 points at once. Do you understand what I mean? It means that he didn’t gain 10 points 10 times, but directly 100 points!”
Feng Mingxi was slightly stunned, and then he narrowed his eyes.
“You mean… he killed a C-rank beast? How is that possible?!”
“In terms of strength, it should be impossible for him to kill a C-rank beast, but the change in points can’t be wrong. I don’t know what method he used, but he definitely killed a C-rank beast!”
“Oh?” Feng Mingxi was silent for a moment before the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a smile, “If it’s really a C-rank beast he killed himself, then it’s a little interesting.”
After a pause, he suddenly waved his hand.
“Let’s go, Weisol. Let’s find a C-rank beast.”
Weisol was stunned. When he saw the expression on Feng Mingxi’s face, he immediately cried out in his mind.
“There’s no need to do this… Mingxi, your points are more than 200 points higher than the second place. If you persist for another day, you’ll definitely obtain first place. If you run to find a C-rank beast, not only will it be a waste of time, perhaps… cough, in any case, it’s quite a waste of time. The efficiency is not high.”
“What? Are you afraid that I can’t defeat a C-rank beast?” Feng Mingxi sneered, “Let’s go. Even this Chu Nan can kill a C-rank beast. If I can’t even compare to him, how can I call myself number one?”
After saying this, Feng Mingxi turned around and left.
Weisol smiled bitterly and could only follow.
