I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1584
1584 Take Care
Prince Montique had been defeated.
Although he had improved at lightning speed in the past few months after the Garden Hunting Assembly ended and relied on his powerful talent to master the fourth level of the Exterminating Heart Technique in a short period of time, his strength had greatly increased and he had obtained a decisive breakthrough, rising from the third-stage Heaven Control Realm to the fourth-stage in one go. Moreover, he had vaguely touched the threshold of the fifth-stage Heaven Control Realm, he had still lost.
Originally, he thought that his strength might be slightly inferior to Chu Nan’s when he was at the Garden Hunting Assembly, but his strength had increased quickly in the past few months and Chu Nan had always been wrapped in trivial matters. He would definitely be able to surpass him, but after the two of them truly fought, he discovered that Chu Nan’s increase was far more exaggerated than he had imagined.
With his powerful strength that was already infinitely close to a fifth-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist, he was actually unable to pose any actual threat to Chu Nan from the beginning to the end. As a result, when he was finally defeated by him and was ruthlessly heavily injured, his first reaction was not to worry about his injuries, but to ask him the question that had always been in his mind.
“Chu Nan, you… why did you… why did your strength increase… so quickly?” Prince Montique spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became even paler. However, he stared at Chu Nan without blinking, “Clearly… clearly two months ago, the difference between us… the difference is not that great.”
Chu Nan shrugged and thought to himself, how could he explain this?
Prince Montique’s strength had indeed increased clearly in the past few months, but he was not idle.
In the past few months, Chu Nan’s experience was much richer than Prince Montique’s.
After experiencing danger and many life and death trials in the Endless Abyss, most importantly, killing Supremacy Mal with Angie Prairie, Princess Romanti, and Carola had brought him precious experience, causing Chu Nan’s understanding of martial techniques to deepen.
After being captured after returning from the Endless Abyss and experiencing a hundred tests, it even made Chu Nan face a life and death test at all times in this short period of time, forcing his powerful A.I.-like brain to be in a high-speed state at all times, forcing his analysis and improvement of his martial technique to the limit.
Under such a powerful pressure, Chu Nan’s strength naturally was far from what Prince Montique could compare to.
If it was said that when he first participated in the Garden Hunting Assembly, Chu Nan’s strength was probably only at the initial-stage to second-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist, then even with his powerful understanding of martial techniques and his A.I.-like brain, he could only be on par with Prince Montique at that time and at most win slightly. Then, after experiencing the Garden Hunting Assembly, Chu Nan’s strength had already soared. He had truly achieved the Internal and External Combination and his Internal Breath was endless. He definitely had the strength of a top fifth-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist.
Now that he had experienced a trial and a top-notch test, Chu Nan had an extremely deep understanding of martial techniques. Even among all the fifth-stage Heaven Control Martial Artists, he was confident that he could reach the strongest.
The only thing restricting him was the strength of his Internal Breath.
There were not many shortcuts in this aspect. He could only rely on years of cultivation.
Even if Chu Nan had already successfully broken through to the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Cultivation Technique and his Internal Breath was growing much faster than ordinary martial artists, he still needed enough time.
As long as there was enough time and Internal Breath, Chu Nan was even absolutely confident that he could naturally break through the last obstacle and become the top Star-Grade Martial Artist!
Ever since he personally saw Supremacy Mal die under his hands, Chu Nan’s gaze had long been on those Star-Grade Martial Artists. He did not take a Heaven Control Martial Artist like Prince Montique to heart no matter how talented and powerful he was.
However, this reason was not easy to explain to Prince Montique.
Therefore, he only smiled and did not explain.
In any case, the truth was in front of him. Even if Prince Montique was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
Prince Montique was extremely smart and naturally easily saw through Chu Nan’s thoughts. He smiled bitterly and spat out another mouthful of blood before shaking his head.
“I’ve always thought that I must be the most talented martial artist in the entire Milky Way. I’m even confident that I’ll definitely become the number one expert in the Milky Way in the future. However, from the looks of it, it’s not easy to determine in the future, but in terms of talent, I’m clearly still inferior to you. When I recall my previous arrogance, it’s really shameful.”
Chu Nan laughed, “Alright, Montique, your talent is very good, but you can’t compare to me. I… cough, my here…” He pointed at his head, “It’s special. You can’t compare to me in this.”
“Is that so?” Hearing Chu Nan’s explanation, Prince Montique seemed to be feeling better. He took two deep breaths and barely suppressed his injuries. He stood up and looked at him seriously, “I lost this time, but Chu Nan, I have to remind you that I’m only the most talented young disciple in the royal family, but I’m not the strongest person below the Star-Grade Martial Artist Realm. There are many people stronger than me. Moreover…”
At this point, Prince Montique paused for a moment and raised his head to look again. Then, he barely condensed his Internal Breath and used spatial energy to microwave vibration to send his voice into Chu Nan’s ears.
“I’ve received news that it’s very likely that the royal family will send Star-Grade Martial Artists to challenge you or even kill you.”
Chu Nan was immediately shocked and asked, “Why Star-Grade Martial Artists? Didn’t His Majesty Gremayne clearly say that Star-Grade Martial Artists were not allowed to participate?”
“I don’t know the exact information, but this is very likely. There are many people in the royal family who can’t wait to kill you. If all the Heaven Control Martial Artists can’t defeat you, they might send Star-Grade Martial Artists to attack you. In order to protect the face of the royal family and target Prince Lekas, they’ll do anything.”
Prince Montique’s expression was extremely serious. He paused for a moment and said, “Chu Nan, I sincerely suggest to you. It’s best if you immediately make it clear to the Elder Council that you can’t deal with this challenge and apologize to the Declan royal family, indicating that what you said previously was all your arrogant words. Take back those words so that the Elder Council can announce the end of this operation. Those people have no reason to attack you like this before you can truly obtain safety.”
Chu Nan narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Montique in silence.
From Prince Montique’s tone, he really made these suggestions for Chu Nan’s sake, but he did not plan to accept them.
“I won’t do this.” Chu Nan pondered for a moment and shook his head, “Since you know that I did this on purpose, you should know that I won’t give up easily.”
“But you might lose your life like this!” Prince Montique raised his voice.
“I won’t.” The smile on Chu Nan’s face revealed powerful confidence, “So what if I send out a Star-Grade Martial Artist? Even if I can’t win, I definitely won’t die.”
“You…” Prince Montique wanted to say more, but when he saw the firm expression on Chu Nan’s face, he immediately understood that he had already made up his mind. Therefore, he could only sigh, “Chu Nan, in order to protect your life this time, Viennelle has already made a huge sacrifice. Miss Angie Prairie must be having a hard time too. They’re all doing this to let you live. Apart from them, many others also want you to live and have made many efforts. I hope you can cherish your life and not be too bold.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely cherish my life more than anyone else.” Chu Nan still maintained his smile.
Prince Montique knew that persuading him would be useless, so he shook his head and stopped persuading him.
“Alright, take care. All the best to you”
