Chapter 71 Public Judgment
After pushing open the dormitory door, Chu Nan could not help but turn around to look at the sky and feel even more puzzled.
It should not be 8 PM yet, and it was the most lively time in the evening.
It was already very strange that this kid Dong Fang would actually appear in the dormitory. Why did he still have a stunned expression as he sat there with a blank expression?
“Hey, Dong Fang, what’s wrong? Did you fall out of love?” Chu Nan walked over and stretched out his hand to shake Dong Fang.
“Ah?” Dong Fang raised his head in confusion and looked at Chu Nan. After being stunned for nearly five seconds, he suddenly woke up, “Ah, Chu Nan, you’re back. You… cough… have you eaten?”
Chu Nan looked at him in confusion.
“Hey, are you really fine? Don’t tell me you’re really out of love?”
“Tsk! Lost what relationship?” Dong Fang spat in disdain, “If I want to find a woman, as long as I return home and have a large pile of women, I can choose whatever I want. What’s the point of falling out of love?”
“Then why are you daydreaming so late at night?” Chu Nan asked curiously.
“This…” Dong Fang glanced at Chu Nan and his gaze actually avoided him,” Chu Nan… where did you come from?”
“The logistics rehabilitation center. Didn’t I say that before I left?”
“Then… have you seen the news?”
Chu Nan frowned.
Why was this question exactly the same as what Yu Wanging had asked? “What news? Could it be related to me?”
“This…”
Dong Fang looked hesitant and conflicted. After a long time, he finally seemed to have made up his mind and sighed.
“Forget it. You’ll find out sooner or later anyway. I can’t hide it from you.”
Chu Nan was even more curious.
“What’s going on?”
“Look for yourself.”
Dong Fang moved aside and revealed the virtual projection terminal of the dormitory. Then, he operated his personal terminal and two familiar figures appeared on the virtual screen.
Mu Yutong and Norman were two Star-Grade Martial Artists!
“This is the news that was broadcast just now. The two Star-Grade Martial Artists accepted the exclusive interview of the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel. You were mentioned,” Dong Fang explained.
“They mentioned me?” Chu Nan looked at the two Star-Grade Martial Artists on the virtual screen in surprise and understood that this should be the exclusive interview between the two Star-Grade Martial Artists that Yang Xirui had mentioned before, “It’s fine if Mu Yutong mentioned me, but could it be that Norman also mentioned me?”
“You’ll know when you see it.” Dong Fang operated his personal terminal again. The virtual screen began to broadcast the news interview he had specially intercepted.
Yang Xirui’s figure indeed appeared on the large screen and was responsible for asking the two Star-Grade Martial Artists a question.
In the beginning, it was only a few routine questions. Yang Xirui asked the two Star-Grade Martial Artists how they felt after coming to West Cloud Planet, especially Norman. Then, she gradually directed the question to this martial arts competition.
The two Star-Grade Martial Artists praised this West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition greatly, indicating that the organization ability of the West Cloud Planet’s government was very outstanding, allowing the competition to proceed very smoothly. Moreover, it had attracted a large number of outstanding martial artists from other countries to participate. It could indeed be called a rare martial arts flourishing event in recent years.
Towards the end, Yang Xirui naturally asked Mu Yutong what he thought of the Earth Federation martial artists who were participating in the competition.
“Supremacy Mu Yutong, according to the statistics, among the adult group martial artists who have entered the final stage, the martial artists belonging to the Earth Federation only account for 26.56%. The groups below the age of 20 only account for 18.75%. What do you think about this?”
Mu Yutong had been maintaining a smile, but when he heard this question, his expression sank slightly and he frowned.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head lightly.
“To be honest, I’m very dissatisfied.”
Yang Xirui revealed an ‘as expected’ expression and hurriedly asked, “Do you think the participating martial artists of the Earth Federation performed poorly?”
“That’s right.” Mu Yutong bluntly gave an affirmative answer. With his status as a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he naturally had the qualifications to give a strict evaluation of the martial artists participating in the competition, “I have to say that the performance of our Federation’s martial artists in this competition is really too poor. There are actually less than half of the martial artists who entered the final stage. It’s too disappointing.”
“You can’t say that.” Norman shook his head. “Although the performance of your Earth Federation’s martial artists is ordinary overall, their individual performance is still quite good. For example, the kid called Chu Nan we saw this afternoon has performed quite well.”
When he heard his name, Chu Nan who was watching this video and Yang Xirui were stunned.
“Chu Nan? Supremacy Norman, why do you think he performed well?” Yang Xirui immediately asked.
“Ha, I actually only watched one of this kid’s matches. It’s the ninth round of the elimination competition in the afternoon. He seems to have faced an opponent of the Kingdom of Kexley, right?” The last question was Norman turning to ask Mu Yutong.
Mu Yutong nodded lightly.
“Yes, this Chu Nan is a student of the West Cloud Academy. I’ve already noticed him when I visited the academy previously. His martial arts talent is extremely outstanding, but I never expected him to be so outstanding. He’s actually able to defeat that Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist from the Kingdom of Kexley with the strength of a low-level Overlord Body Martial Artist.”
On the screen, Yang Xirui was immediately excited and immediately asked, “Supremacy Mu Yutong, you previously mentioned that if you discover any young martial artist with outstanding performance, you might take him in as your disciple. Then, do you feel that this student called Chu Nan has extremely outstanding talent and is interested in taking him in as his disciple?”
Mu Yutong glanced at Yang Xirui deeply but shook his head.
“No.”
“Ah?” Yang Xirui was stunned, “Why? Didn’t you say that his martial arts talent is very outstanding?”
Mu Yutong sighed and did not answer.
Yang Xirui wanted to ask more, but Norman interrupted at this moment.
“Heh, this kid called Chu Nan is indeed talented, but unfortunately, he was discovered too late.”
“Found out too late? What do you mean?” Yang Xirui was puzzled. “To put it simply, if he could be discovered ten years or even five years ago, not to mention Mu Yutong, I would be tempted to take him in as a disciple. With his talent and our careful guidance, it’s very likely that he’ll grow into another Star-Grade Martial Artist in the future. But now… he’s already past the best time to lay the foundation. No matter how hard he works, he can at most become a low-level Void Break Martial Artist. It’s even possible that… he can only stay in the Internal Breath Realm for his entire life.”
Hearing the explanation given by Norman, Yang Xirui, who was on the virtual screen, was stunned for a long time before turning to look at Mu Yutong.
“Supremacy Mu Yutong, you also agree with Supremacy Norman’s judgment. Do you think Chu Nan can only become a low-level Void Break Martial Artist in the future?”
Mu Yutong sighed and nodded slowly.
“Yes. In fact… Norman said that he could become a low-level Void Break Martial Artist is already an overestimation…”
The subsequent video had nothing to do with Chu Nan.
Mu Yutong extended the topic from Chu Nan and criticized the abnormal development of martial arts in the Earth Federation.
The martial arts inheritance of the Earth Federation was clearly weak, but the various martial arts families of the federation cherished it dearly and were unwilling to share the cultivation methods they knew. This caused the martial arts of the federation to be unable to improve after so many years, causing a martial arts genius like Chu Nan to be unable to obtain suitable cultivation methods to train from a young age, causing his powerful talent to be wasted.
If this situation continued, not only would the gap between the Earth Federation and the other countries not close, it would also grow larger and larger. This was not beneficial to the future of the Federation…

The video image on the virtual screen suddenly disappeared, and the virtual screen directly disappeared.
Chu Nan turned around in shock.
“Hey, why did you turn it off? I was just getting into it. Don’t you think what Supremacy Mu Yutong said makes sense? If those martial arts families in the federation can take out all the martial arts cultivation methods they know, it wouldn’t be so difficult for us to learn a better martial technique.”
Dong Fang looked at him in confusion, “I say… why do you still care about these things? Didn’t you hear what Mu Yutong and Norman said just now? You’re only a low-level Void Break Martial Artist at most in your life! Don’t you feel… depressed?”
If the reaction Zheng Yuanlin had made when he came to see Chu Nan previously could be considered Mu Yutong’s unilateral opinion, then now, even the Star-Grade Martial Artist, Norman, had expressed this opinion. For two Star-Grade Martial Artists to make this judgment at the same time was no different from confirming the death sentence for Chu Nan’s martial artist future.
What was even more despairing was that these two Star-Grade Martial Artists still expressed this when they were undergoing an interview. It was equivalent to publicly sentenced Chu Nan to death in front of countless people.
If it was an ordinary martial artist, they would probably collapse the moment they heard this news and give up.
However, Chu Nan only smiled and shook his head.
“Why should I feel depressed? Didn’t Zheng Yuanlin say this before coming?”
“Then you…” Dong Fang thought that Chu Nan was barely comforting himself and his gaze was filled with pity.
“Heh, what’s with your expression?” Chu Nan laughed instead, “Star-Grade Martial Artists are not gods. Is what they say necessarily true?”
Dong Fang shook his head. Star-Grade Martial Artists were naturally not gods, but in the path of martial arts, they were not much different from gods.
Since the two Star-Grade Martial Artists had judged Chu Nan’s future at the same time, it could not be wrong. Seeing the worry in Dong Fang’s expression, Chu Nan smiled and shook his head.
If he was still the Chu Nan of the past, then with the two Star-Grade Martial Artists announcing his future at the same time, he could only resign himself to fate.
However, because he currently had a super powerful data ability, he had long surpassed the category of ordinary martial artists.
This could be verified through the whimsical experiment he had done in the logistics rehabilitation center.
How could the current Chu Nan be judged by two Star-Grade Martial Artists who did not know the exact situation?
Chu Nan wanted to say something more, but he suddenly felt a strong sense of mental exhaustion surging. He waved at Dong Fang and lay on the bed. A moment later, he fell asleep.
Hearing Chu Nan snoring on the bed, Dong Fang could not help but smile bitterly.
Was this kid too ambitious? Or had he actually given up long ago?
