Master of the Stars-Chapter 373: Dripping Sword (Part 3/3)

Chapter 373: Dripping Sword (Part 3/3)

Translator: Strivon

There were no two ways about it. Today, Luo Nan possessed ample ambition.

Last night, most of his thoughts circled around the Heart Searing Blade, this legendary secret technique that would allow him to dispose of milk. As for the C-rank technique Dripping Sword, Luo Nan merely skimmed over it a few times. He didn't delve too deeply into it.

Luo Nan only knew that this technique mainly involved condensing water vapor out of thin air to attack the enemy's weak point. It was a bit like a wizard's technique from a fantasy novel, just that the sound and light effects were less impressive.

At the moment, Luo Nan wanted to get deep into it. He first looked at the original video recording of attachment 2 within the RT8313 mission of Headquarters.

Last night, he actually wanted to look at attachment 3, but he unexpectedly didn't have read permissions. He could only see a summary and so on. Only ability users at the Architect stage and beyond had the ability to see the whole thing. It was really annoying!

Licking his lips, Luo Nan waited for the video to buffer.

The video demonstration in the attachment used the high-fidelity standard of reality-level. The file size was enormous. Even with the special network form of the HexaEar, a period of time was needed to ensure a smooth playback.

The file size was in direct proportion to its value. After all, this was a teaching demonstration targeted for the ability users of the entire world, and it was personally demonstrated by Her Majesty Empress Wu herself.

Luo Nan chose the highest quality mode, reality mode, thanks to the suggestion of the HexaEar's AI assistant. This was the fourth layer function of the Psychic Wave Network, the Simulator. The current Luo Nan had already resolved his issue with interference ability. He could now use this function completely stress-free.

Luo Nan closed his eyes, naturally sinking into darkness. Soon, gentle rays of light slowly pervaded through the dark. The light gradually deepened and changed, ultimately forming a scene of entwined obsidian gray and dark crimson. A confluence of noise and the pressure of a head-on wind arrived. Luo Nan choked on the earthy acrid air, and he felt the sensation of his skin being dry and rough at the same time. Luo Nan was instantly brought into the empty and vast wilderness.

Such simulator guide sequences were not a strange sight for Luo Nan. Luo Nan just felt that the Psychic Wave Network's simulator was on a more meticulous level than the Burner version at Frost River Reality.

Luo Nan had already set on the path of the nine orifices and six roots technique. The stimulation of these nerve cells instinctively stimulated the response of the inner organs, muscles, tendons, skin, and flesh. Luo Nan needed to plant a reminder in himself. This was to make up the disparity between the perception of his mind and fleshly body. This was to avoid getting booted out.

Luo Nan raised his head to look far into the distance. Right now, he was located at the peak of a hill. This was the highest point relative to his surroundings. The dark red earth was cracked layers upon layers, extending limitlessly into the horizon. This was, without a doubt, the Wilderness.

In the next second, Luo Nan's attention was forcefully captured by the clean and sharp slender figure ahead. Luo Nan was alerted as to who was the leading actor in this world.

Her Majesty Empress Wu!

Empress Wu was just ahead, only leaving a silhouette for others to see. She was wore hunting clothes that fit her body well. The design was narrow at the waist, and the color was of a dark red. She paired it with brown boots, highlighting her aggressively long legs. Her outfit matched her gorgeous beauty quite well.

She carried something fairly eye-catching. She hefted a light gauss rifle on her shoulder. A simple and low-key ponytail covered the body of the gun, but the gun still reminded Luo Nan that they were in a dangerous wasteland.

The color of her outfit was quite similar to the color of this wasteland. It could act as camouflage, it appeared quite professional, yet it also gave off a wonderful fashionable feel. This formed quite the marvelous balance…. Fine. Any guy who would find themselves faced with a stunning beauty would find similar reasoning.

The rifle was not so different from a fashionable woman's purse from Her Majesty Empress Wu’s perspective. They both fulfilled the visual arts….

Luo Nan's mind went wild as he tried to move about in this reality. There should be enough space left behind to interact in this enormous recorded reality, but Her Majesty Empress Wu showed no reaction at all the entire time Luo Nan walked up to her side.

Interactive resources haven't been saved?

As Luo Nan's thoughts spun, Her Majesty Empress Wu suddenly turned around. Her bright and beautiful face appeared without reservation, right in his breathing range.

Luo Nan actually took a step back.

Luo Nan obviously recognized Her Majesty Empress Wu. Although he never officially met her before, he had seen photos, videos, and other materials in Bamboo Pole's "Notes on the Major Characters of the World" course. There existed materials of every kind.

Especially on a woman as stunningly beautiful as Her Majesty Empress Wu. The various materials were more complete for someone like her.

Of course, Her Majesty Empress Wu was extremely beautiful in Luo Nan's opinion, especially the way she laughed. In various video recordings, he always saw her reveal a smile. The smile could be reserved, bold and unrestrained, intimate, teasing, or fierce. It infused those recordings of someone who was already quite beautiful, bright, and dazzling with vivid life.

During the course, Luo Nan believed that Bamboo Pole had specifically chose such materials. Her Majesty Empress Wu remained famous for all these years. Luo Nan came to find out that of all the recorded materials, whether they be photos or videos, Her Majesty Empress Wu had never left behind any expressionless moments in any of them.

I just felt it was all fun at first, but after careful thought, my hair stood on end.

Ahem, these were Bamboo Pole's original words. The words came from a footnote about Her Majesty Empress Wu's temperamental nature. These words left an incomparably deep impression on Luo Nan.

Her Majesty Empress Wu in the reality recording was smiling as well, of course. It was a professional smile, like that of a well-qualified host—oh, no, it was more like the smile of a tour guide.

In fact, this was a reality experience of travel and adventure.

With the aid of reality technology, those with aspirations could totally say hello, shake hands, and even exchange a few flowery words with Her Majesty Empress Wu ahead. It was no problem at all, not that Luo Nan thought about it.

But Luo Nan withdrew. He withdrew quite shamefully.

Being within reach of such a beautiful face gave him pressure as large as a mountain.

Was this a flare-up of his incurable homebody anxiety? Luo Nan would like to believe that this was due to the remnants left behind from Bamboo Pole's lecture on that day.

Needless to say, Her Majesty Empress Wu was famous for her beauty in her early years. Her face could be said to be openly beautiful. Her facial features and contours were without flaw. But the space between her eyebrows gave off an exceeding air.

Bamboo Pole was a man who had perused through countless beauties. In this respect, he had the following to say:

The so-called 'exceeding air' was a sort of oppressive force. People are often shown a smile from Her Majesty Empress Wu, but they could feel a sort of unquestionable domineering force. When she acted charmingly, you had to indulge. When she acted gracefully, you had to be satisfied. When she acted fiercely, you had to tremble. When she acted callously, you had to fear.

Any highly intelligent life form possessed relatively clear self-awareness. Thoughts of instinct were centered on the self. No one wanted to become someone else's prey.

But Her Majesty Empress Wu's exceedingly good looks was turned into a sharp weapon by being strengthened from her spirit. And this weapon pointed to the weakest spot in people's hearts.

Perhaps Luo Nan had scared himself. Right now, he shivered as if he was facing a sharp blade. Only when he pulled some distance did he relax a bit.

Such a reaction hurt Luo Nan's self-esteem more or less.

Damn it. If I'm like this when I see a virtual image, would I not immediately kneel when I see the real person in the future?

Luo Nan slapped himself in the cheek. A wave of reverse psychology, commonly seen in those of his age, stirred restlessly within him. It was so much that he wanted to use the interactive function to do something. He wanted to retaliate.

But then subtle vibrations transmitted through the ground at this time. Strange hululu noises were mixed within the wind, blowing past the ears.
