Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Brutally Beaten

Compared to Lu Zixun’s concerns, Xiong Kang seemed much more relaxed.

He even said he thought this time they would have to fight desperately, but he hadn’t expected Lu Zixun to have obtained J-level strength.

"Generally he won’t leave Zone 3, just like Elder Yang doesn’t leave Zone 1."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment, "Mutual constraint?"

"Snap."

Xiong Kang snapped his fingers and exhibited an expression suggesting ’a teachable child’, "That’s right, Gu Beihan is very distrustful by nature. He’s afraid that once he leaves Zone 3, Elder Yang will seek revenge, given that their relationship is not very good."

"Elder Yang wouldn’t do that."

Although he had only met Yang Guohong once, Lu Zixun was sure that even given the opportunity, Yang Guohong would not act in such a way.

Because of two words, ’the big picture’.

If Yang Guohong rashly attacked Zone 3, it would undoubtedly send a message to the outside world that Sha Fei had decided to wage war against Zhenfei.

Now, with the battle for supremacy about to begin, Yang Guohong wouldn’t do such a thing that could disturb the people’s hearts.

"Yes, this is a widely known fact, but Gu Beihan does not believe it."

Shrugging, Xiong Kang casually grabbed a cup of milk tea from the fridge, "To put it nicely, it’s caution, but to put it unkindly, it’s cowardice."

"Gu Beihan is one of the people with the strongest sense of the big picture I’ve ever seen, but he always likes to avoid risk and pursue benefits, which is why he has missed many opportunities."

Just as he took a sip of milk tea, Xiong Kang spat it out, "Damn, what kind of milk tea is this? Why does it taste so weird?"

"Take it or leave it."

Giving Xiong Kang a look, caramel-flavored milk tea is delicious, he just doesn’t appreciate it.

Mulling over what Xiong Kang had just said, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, "Was Gu Beihan the commander in last year’s battle for supremacy?"

"Yeah, and Ninth Brother too."

Nodding, Xiong Kang continued, "The reason humanity lost zones fourteen, seventeen, and sixteen was because Gu Beihan provided no support."

"Why?"

Lu Zixun, not very familiar with the battle for supremacy, looked puzzled at Xiong Kang.

"Because he didn’t believe Ninth Brother could repel four major Insect Tides and therefore decided to minimize losses."

A sneer on his face, Xiong Kang scoffed, "But in reality, Ninth Brother, Long Jiuri, was on a roll and went straight for the Insect Nest. Just when he was about to succeed, the core Floating Crystal at our rear was gone."

The rules of the battle for supremacy are simple, destroy the enemy’s base’s artifact, which naturally is the Insect Nest for the Insect Clan, and a Floating Crystal for humans.

To put it simply, Xiong Kang’s words meant that Gu Beihan, who had not supported Long Jiuri, had failed to even protect the Floating Crystal and the Insect Clan had managed to sneak attack their base.

Feeling somewhat incredulous, Lu Zixun’s beard twitched, "How did Gu Beihan manage to do that?"

Once the battle for supremacy begins, towering walls are erected around the Floating Crystal. It’s a miracle for the Insect Clan to successfully sneak in under these circumstances.

"I don’t know."

Expecting Xiong Kang to give a detailed explanation, Lu Zixun received instead just a three-word answer.

Not planning to dig deeper into the matter, Lu Zixun was satisfied just knowing that Gu Beihan would not enter Zone 11.

"So, what now? Didn’t you have a suggestion?"

Looking at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun asked.

"My suggestion is, diplomacy before force."

Xiong Kang, who seemed to pull out a bag of chips from nowhere, started to munch on them with gusto.

"You and I will head to Zone 11 together, then you stay out of sight while I go to ask for people."

Dusting off the chip crumbs from his hands, Xiong Kang pulled out a map of Zone 11 and pointed, "The rendezvous location is here."

Glancing at the map of Zone 11, the designated position was the central city area of the zone.

The meeting place for the Human Gathering Place, Lu Zixun had seen it before.

It was roughly the equivalent of a ritual altar, with the ground etched with mysterious talismans and the surrounding pillars filled with a peculiar power.

"You can hide among the crowds around, I remember Tang Tianyu seems to be in Zone 11 too, isn’t that just perfect?"

He chuckled lightly, a cold glint flickered in Xiong Kang’s eyes, "I hope the people from the Three Prefectures know their place. As a Commander, if they don’t give me what I want, they can’t blame me for not being polite."

"Spit it out, how come you’re so brave now? What if I don’t make a move when the time comes?"

Testing the waters with his question, Lu Zixun saw Xiong Kang’s face change and couldn’t help but laugh twice.

Realizing Lu Zixun was joking, Xiong Kang took out the Sword Box, "It’s been a while since I last practiced, shall we go?"

"Let’s go."

Intending to thoroughly trounce Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun readily agreed.

At this time, Ge Changming and others were around the training field, pale-faced, witnessing such fierce fighting for the first time.

Xiao Enshuo was lovingly holding his head, the Sword Qi that had suddenly surged forward had clipped off his painstakingly styled hair.

’Sword Three·Chao Yue’

Staring at Lu Zixun’s Frost Fire Domain, Xiong Kang formed a Sword technique with his hand, and nine longswords returned to his side.

One could vaguely feel a full moon appearing above his head, the swords imbued with a lunar glow.

"Through the Heart!"

The Flying Sword, which he roared out, bore down on Lu Zixun at the heart of the domain.

Feeling the thick Spiritual Energy carried by the Flying Sword, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and without hesitation, activated the Frost Barrier.

After forcing Lu Zixun to use the Frost Barrier, Xiong Kang’s mouth curved slightly, his finger pulled back, "Sword One·Return."

The Flying Sword that had been formidable just now circled around Lu Zixun, waiting for him to break the ice and emerge.

Little did he know, Lu Zixun, who had activated the Frost Barrier, was aware of what was happening around him.

Instantly breaking free from the ice, he appeared behind Xiong Kang, and Gravity Suppression immediately activated.

Feeling his movements slow down, Xiong Kang was about to turn around and counterattack when he found himself lifted into the air.

Lu Zixun, having kicked Xiong Kang in the rear, pulled up Ice Chains to bind him.

Spiritual Fire rose up, preventing Xiong Kang’s Flying Swords from penetrating to protect him.

What followed was a scene witnessed by Ge Changming and others—

Lu Zixun standing on Xiong Kang’s chest, continuously slapping Xiong Kang’s face with his paws.

"For waking me up early in the morning, for saying caramel milk tea tastes bad..."

"Brother Xun... quite childlike."

Ge Changming’s mouth twitched as he commented.

"Mm."

Geng Xiyuan, who also hadn’t expected this outcome, nodded in agreement.

Returning to the office, Xiong Kang applied ice to his face.

He knew Lu Zixun was petty, but he didn’t expect him to be this petty.

The previous disturbance to his sleep was one thing, but he had only just mentioned disliking caramel milk tea, and that too was remembered; it was simply too much.

"Can you not hit the face next time?"

Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun with eyes full of reproach and plaintively asked.

"Can you not call before ten o’clock next time?"

Faced with Xiong Kang’s complaint, Lu Zixun simply shot back a question.

"..."

Xiong Kang, wearing a speechless expression, decided he no longer wanted to spar with this guy, at least not until he had a domain of his own.
