Chapter 295: I Can’t Have It！

To be honest, Lu Shu had never thought that a single Refresher Fruit could actually have such great effect. It promoted Chen Baili straight up to a Class A. Is he…the first Class A in the world?

From Chen Baili’s words, one could deduce that he had been having the bottleneck for a great many decades. It was all due to the damaged foundation. Now that his foundation was restored, all breakthroughs were assured.

Li Xianyi once said, the bottlenecks in this world were like a ceiling. When everyone was stuck at that level, it would seem impossible to break through. However, when the first person break through the ceiling, it would be like a revolution in history and the standards of all human would rise once again.

According to what Lu Xian said, to break through into Class A would no longer be the issue of simply an individual.

Once Chen Baili broke through, the Heavenly Network would have an exchange regarding the breaking through of the bottleneck. Following that, Chen Baili’s experience would be used to enhance the Network’s promotion as a whole. However, this was not an era of greatness for the nation’s practitioners. When the Class A of a country exchange blows with other superhumans and practitioner organizations, the opponents would also glean some rules and gradually attempt at breaking through themselves.

Good thing is, this time the Chinese practitioners were at the forefront.

Lu Shu looked with mixed feelings at a bowing Chen Baili before him. He quickly held Chen Baili up, “Heavenly King, please, you are too polite…I will remember this favour, don’t you forget my contributions…”

“From Chen Baili’s distress points, +66.”

Chen Baili’s impression was that a normal person would be more humble and decline out of modesty for him to insist. Then they would go on for a few rounds…but Lu Shu was clearly not a normal person with the typical humbleness.

That being said, Chen Baili himself was not a hypocrite. When he said to remember this favour, he would. Hence, the distress points produced were so few. The points were purely due to Lu Shu’s character and not this issue.

Chen Baili stood up straight. He passed the Refresher Fruit in his hand to Lu Shu, “I have no use for this anymore. It can help in elevating your capabilities. Here, eat it.”

Lu Shu was stunned. How could he?! He had thought about this problem previously. Should he say straight up that he had a pill already and give Chen Baili only one? In that way, he could still bring back one surreptitiously for Li Xianyi. He only have to say that he got it in the remains.

However, after much thought, he concluded that this was not feasible. In the Heavenly Network, the Class A and Bs were all coupled with magical stones. If he eat one, Chen Baili would ask him to measure his capabilities again. When that happen, the secret of his capabilities would be exposed.

If he was truly a Class A, things would be easier. Unfortunately, Lu Shu was not!

Back then, when the drop of blood came into contact with the Sodium-potassium Alloy, it produced a color not indicated on the color scale. It had surpassed the Class A capabilities! How could he explain to the Heavenly Network a Sodium-potassium Alloy which was sparkling like stars?

Hence, he could not eat the Refresher Fruitin Chen Baili’s presence, nor could he even let Chen Baili think that he had eaten.

He really wanted to take this chance to present old master Li Xianyi the Refresher Fruit. He had only just recalled Xiaoyu telling him that a classmate called Shi Xuejin once had a chat with Li Xianyi. The Heavenly Network promised if the Treasure of Heaven and Earth to restore foundation could be found, it would definitely be given to Li Xianyi.

If so…would the person really give the Refresher Fruitto Li Xianyi as promised?

All the oaths of alliance on this world were seemingly meant to be broken.

However, Lu Shu felt that he could give this a bet. Even if he betted wrongly, it only meant a loss of 1000 distress points. If there were other Heavenly King like Chen Baili who had their practice restricted due to damage in foundation, this could be considered his contribution to them to ensure stability in the organization.

If he bet right, Li Xianyi’s problem would be resolved.

Lu Shu also wished to take this chance to see what was the Heavenly Network like. Or take a look at the Heavenly King Nie Ting, to see if he is as upright and honourable as legend had it.

It was merely 1000 distress points. This little thing would seem rare to Chen Baili and the rest, but it meant nothing to Lu Shu. Even if he did not manage to get a Refresher Fruitfor Li Xianyi this time, he could still find an opportunity to do so in the future.

Let’s bet.

“Heavenly King,” Lu Shu suddenly blurted, his words firm. “How could I eat such an important thing, you should take it. I can’t have it! As a successor of socialism, I can’t be so selfish!”

Chen Baili always felt that there was something funny with Lu Shu. However, Lu Shu had been clearly so firm in his belief and selfless…had he been the one harbouring preconceived impressions and wronging this young man?

No matter what, this young man is pretty fine as a whole. The Heavenly Network is at its developmental stage, such an ambitious youth is of great. The nation will be strong when the youths are!

Silently, Chen Baili sighed deeply…

Lu Shu suddenly asked curiously, “If this little thing is a fruit, then it should have issues of freshness and expiry right? How should it be kept?”

“No worries,” Chen Baili gave a wave of his Taoist robe sleeve and in his hand appeared an exquisite little jade case. The old Taoist priest carefully placed the Refresher Fruit into the jade case and quickly closed the lid. Lu Shu could feel the case’s strong magical pulse. It was probably a treasure too.

At this moment, the pool of water containing large amount of magical energy turned into a normal looking body of water after Chen Baili’s breakthrough. The plant in the water also began to wilt after Lu Shu plucked the fruit. Washed by the water currents, the plant transformed into a pile of shimmering powder and fell into the water, never to be seen again.

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He had initially thought how nice it would be if he could be lucky enough to get hold of the Matrix Eye. In the future, he might even return to explore a little. However, now that Chen Baili broke through Class A, Lu Shu felt that he no longer had to keep thinking about things such as the Matrix Eye…

To compete for the Matrix Eye with a Class A master, the very notion made Lu Shu feel sore.

It’s good that this plant died. It would save Chen Baili the trouble of discovering, when he return to the remains again, Hmmm why is the plant bearing blue fruits, shouldn’t they be red?

Lu Shu would chuckle at that…

Chen Baili suddenly brought up an old topic, “Would you be willing to make me your teacher?”

This time, Lu Shu still shook his head, “I think I’m pretty fine now. Thank you for your kindness. Awakening is enough, cultivation is too tiring.”

To Lu Shu, cultivation was certainly tiring. However, he did possess the resilience to persevere on, but he could not let Chen Baili know that. He had always wanted to simply help in the fights, then take his leave once the deeds were done. How cool would that be? Lu Shu thought, highly pleased with himself.

However, Chen Baili did not insist this time. He had once again break through his predestined lifespan and no longer had to worry about being reduced to dust all the time. He still had much time left.

Furthermore, a fruit plucked prematurely would not be sweet. Chen Baili stopped thinking about this issue for the time being. If he were to meet Lu Xiaoyu again, he would ask her once more…
