Chapter 459: Meeting Again

Xiang Ning was in no hurry as he watched wave upon wave of people enter the ruins. He quietly waited for the data to load, though he admittedly didn’t really understand the scanning function. The first time the scanning function appeared was when Xiang Ning had just received the system in the mining cave, which helped him earn enough money for a month of food. Then it never appeared again. So far, he still hadn’t completely understood the system in his body either, and he had a bold theory that it was a hyperdimensional bioengine. He didn’t know how the system operated, but as long as some data it recognized was available in a space, that data would be converted into energy and stored in the system before turning into memory stored in his body, which would benefit him as the owner. 

But that was just speculation; Xiang Ning didn’t know the truth. He was slowly learning about dimensional technology, and over time, he came to that conclusion, which was difficult to prove but likely to be true.

Scanning 100% Complete

He stopped his train of thought. It was still too early to think about these questions; he was anxious to see what the scanning found. 

But when he saw the results, his pupils shrank. It’s gigantic! The ‘ruin’ was a super battleship far beyond the Chaos! Even a three-year-old would stare at the 3D model of the battleship with their mouth open, before wanting to have it! It was something humans could never build with the current technology! 

Xiang Ning spent thirty minutes poring over the entire battleship’s structure. It was a major interstellar transport vehicle—one could even call it a spacefaring piece of land. Although most of its systems were damaged, some of its features, which were built to be durable, still retained some function. 

Xiang Ning was interested in some of them. 

With a huff, he leaped from the boulder he was sitting on. It was ten thirty-five in the morning. It had only been a few hours, but he’d seen more than a hundred people enter, every one of them a very strong cultivator. More than half had Western features, and they all wore something that signified their status on their chest, arm, or somewhere else on their body.

Xiang Ning recognized one of the symbols, which represented the Tulip family. Xiang Ning remembered how he had forced Nathan Tulip from Aurig Central Academy to break through during a fight. They had left a deep impression on Xiang Ning, and now that more than a year had passed, he was happy to see them again. Seeing a face you recognize in a foreign place was always a happy experience, despite the fact that Nathan wasn’t happy to see Xiang Ning. 

Xiang Ning remembered that they were one of the four major ‘flower clans’ of North America. One year ago, Nathan was tier four. But now he was almost tier six. An impressive feat, though his powerful family must have been helpful. The person he remembered most wasn’t actually Nathan, but the girl next to him—Natalia Violet, who was also part of a major clan. At the time, she’d already had an air of mystery surrounding her. 

It wasn’t a big problem for them to meet, now. Xiang Ning was no longer the nameless pawn who could be bullied by anyone from one year before. He also understood that every historical artifact was important for people like them, and that was why they were there. Take the historical artifact they had unearthed fifty years prior. They found nine sets of battle armor, which were the precursors of the current battle armor they used. Those nine sets were extremely durable; no current technology on earth could destroy them. 

The price for unearthing those battle armors was enormous. The Federation, military, and all kinds of powers large and small had sent in more than a thousand people. Only five hundred returned, which meant the survival rate was only fifty percent. 

A more tragic incident was the unearthing of Historical Artifact Number Nine from seven years before. They brought a black box from within, which contained a lot of useful information. But the survival rate of that expedition was only twenty percent.

Every expedition bore different threat levels. 

For this historical artifact, after a week of investigation, the Federation had finally determined the entrance of the ruin. Xiang Ning walked to a piece of empty land in the middle of the forest that had a mound of soil on the ground. Someone had dug the place up earlier. 

More than a thousand elite cultivators were gathered there. They didn’t immediately enter, choosing to wait there. 

It was a bustling crowd as people conversed, while Xiang Ning planned to keep a low profile, mix in with the crowd, and wait for the entrance to be opened. 

Unfortunately...

“Hehe, we meet again.” 

“Xiang Ning of Marsh City’s Qiling Academy?” 

Two voices spoke at the same time. Xiang Ning felt like he had been caught in the act, since his name was so abruptly called. He immediately straightened his back to not embarrass himself—his dignity was important. 

The voices belonged to the young master of Jerry Constructions, Jerry Walker, and the future head of the Tulip family, once also called The Chosen One, Nathan Tulip. 

“Oh! Hello, it’s been a while!” Xiang Ning hurried forward with his hand outstretched for a handshake. 

Although Nathan hated this ex-opponent of his, ever since that failure, he had taken the lesson and his cultivation skyrocketed. He constantly paid close attention to Xiang Ning’s movements, too, and although he didn’t know why, he knew that Xiang Ning had received a Broken Blade Knight badge. That was the highest award a martial artist could receive! If he had received one himself, his status as the heir of his clan would be unshakable. That was why, right now, he was seething with hatred. Xiang Ning had ruined his name as The Chosen One, as well as his potential as a dual cultivator. He saw Xiang Ning as his enemy for life. So he held out his hand, planning to display a bit of his strength through his handshake, but then he paused. 

Xiang Ning had shaken Natalia’s hand instead. Not even she had reacted in time, and he’d already shaken her hand. “Haha, it’s been a while. More than a year? I almost couldn’t recognize you,” he chuckled. 

Natalia stared at him. Although she was Nathan’s fiancee, the fact that a prodigy like Xiang Ning remembered her after just one encounter should be something to be happy about, no?
