Chapter 208: Did You Forget the Bet?
The journey from Planet Macaw to Earth required a transfer to a space flight midway. After seven consecutive stargate jumps, the total journey would take 26 hours.
To most people, this journey was boring.
However, to Chu Nan, he had always been staying in his room to experiment and improve his Internal Breath cultivation method. He would only come out to chat with Dunleavy and Mengory when it was time to eat. This period of time seemed to have passed in a flash.
When he heard the system notification that the spaceship had arrived at the space station, Chu Nan was even a little disappointed.
This was because he had just discovered a new Internal Breath circulation trajectory that could allow the increase of one cycle of Internal Breath circulation to 1.377263% every time. It was much higher than all the previous experimental data.
This proved that his experiment was indeed meaningful and not a waste of time.
However, just as he wanted to continue experimenting, he had to get out of the spaceship.
Chu Nan helplessly packed his simple luggage and left the room. When he looked up, he saw Dunleavy and Mengory walking out of the room.
“Heh, Chu Nan, you should register for the test at Star Cloud Academy later, right?” Dunleavy asked.
“Yes, Star Cloud Academy stipulates that we have to register at least three days in advance. There’s only a week left until the official test. It’s not wrong for me to register a few more days,” Chu Nan replied.
“That’s right. There are many people applying to Star Cloud Academy. It’s good that you can register a few days earlier to prevent any mistakes.”
The two of them spoke as they got out of the spaceship.
After walking out, Dunleavy waved goodbye to Chu Nan.
“Unfortunately, we have to deal with serious matters first. Otherwise, we would definitely invite you to see my sister. However, Chu Nan, I believe you will definitely successfully pass the test of Star Cloud Academy. After you pass the test, I’ll invite you to see my sister and celebrate for you. Then, I’ll congratulate the two of you for becoming classmates.”
“Haha, it’s settled then.” Chu Nan smiled and waved his hand, watching as Dunleavy and Mengory left first.
Although they had also arrived on Earth, the duo’s destination was North America. The registration area for the Star Cloud Academy’s entrance test was located in East Asia and was originally Huaxia’s territory. It was different from the landing ship that Dunleavy and the others needed.
Chu Nan was not in a hurry to find the landing ship. Instead, he arrived at the side of the space station and sized up the blue planet in the distance through the window.
Earth.
Although he had seen this planet, the capital of the Earth Federation, countless times through various media outlets, this was the first time Chu Nan had seen this beautiful planet.
Although he was not as excited as a child, he was still a little excited.
If not for the sake of participating in Star Cloud Academy’s test, Chu Nan would probably not have the chance to come here for a long time.
After silently watching for a while, Chu Nan opened his personal terminal and chose to send a message to Chu Xiaoxi.
As soon as the call was sent out, it was picked up. Chu Xiaoxi’s smiling face appeared on the virtual screen.
“Heh, Brother, you’ve already arrived on Earth, right? Ah, I see it! The thing behind you is Earth!” Chu Xiaoxi pointed behind Chu Nan excitedly, “It’s really too beautiful! I must see it with my own eyes in the future!”
Seeing her excitement, Chu Nan laughed.
The planet behind him now indeed looked very beautiful, but more than 700 years ago, it had fallen into very serious pollution because of the high industrial development of Earth. It was said that from the sky at that time, this planet was not as blue as it was now. Instead, it was yellow and withered, and it looked shocking.
Later on, after the Earth Federation was successfully established, they introduced high-end technology from the United States of Melaita and conducted a long-term environmental governance of this capital planet for more than 30 years before recovering to its current appearance.
Due to the rules of the federation’s policy, only a portion of light industry was left on Earth. The rest were almost all natural. It was no longer the soul-stirring scene 700 years ago. It was indeed worthy of being praised as “too beautiful”.
“Alright, you’ll definitely have a chance in the future. Help me tell Mom and Dad that I’m already here and that they don’t have to worry.” Chu Nan instructed Chu Xiaoxi and waved his hand to close his personal terminal.
“Wait!” Chu Xiaoxi stopped him, “Brother, have you contacted Trina?”
“Not yet. I’ll go to Star Cloud Academy to register first. We’ll talk about other things later.”
“Oh…”
Only then did Chu Nan turn off his personal terminal and look at Earth twice before turning around and walking towards the landing ship that was heading to the landing point of the Eurasia Continent.
When he successfully boarded the landing ship, he looked around and could not help but be stunned.
Not far away from him, a familiar figure was facing away.
Seeing this back, Chu Nan was certain that he had not seen it wrongly.
Brax.
“Why is this guy here? What a coincidence…”
When he recalled that he had seen Brax’s figure on the Purple Cloud Planet’s spaceship, Chu Nan frowned and walked over.
“Hey, Brax.”
Hearing Chu Nan’s voice, Brax’s body suddenly shook. After pausing for a long time, he slowly turned around and revealed a very forced smile.
“Heh… Chu Nan, what a… what a coincidence to see you here.”
“What’s so strange about me participating in the entrance test of Star Cloud Academy? Instead, why are you here, Brax?” Chu Nan narrowed his eyes and stared at him before asking bluntly, “Could it be that you’re also here to participate in the entrance test?”
“How… how can that be?!” Brax suddenly raised his voice, and then he sensed that the surrounding passengers were looking over. He hurriedly lowered his head slightly and continued to force a smile, “I… I just happened to have something to do on Earth. I didn’t expect to encounter you.”
“Oh, is that so? I thought you had forgotten our bet and came to participate in the test. I’ve heard before that among the people who failed the initial assessment of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall, many of them thought of a way to run to the other test points on the Purple Cloud Planet to register for the test again. Don’t tell me you did the same?”
“No, no, definitely not!” Brax shook his head vigorously.
“Is that so?” Chu Nan chuckled and looked at him deeply. He did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Behind him, Brax looked at Chu Nan’s departing figure with a trace of hatred.
“Damn, this brat, let’s see how long you can be proud. You can’t even break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. It would be strange if Star Cloud Academy recruited a useless person like you!”
