811 Clown
“Chu Nan has the strongest voice: I only want the championship!”
“I’ll be the champion—said the domineering Chu Nan.”
“Confident or arrogant? Chu Nan’s goal is the champion.”
“Champion? Look at the ambition of the Earth Federation.”
“Arrogant Earthling—other than the champion, he’s not satisfied!”
“The clown from the Earth Federation—Chu Nan.”
…
Chu Nan’s simple answer immediately caused countless intense reactions.
However, to be honest, the response was mostly within the Earth Federation.
Regarding Chu Nan’s announcement that he only wanted the championship and would not be satisfied with any other results, the media of the Earth Federation generally had an affirmative attitude.
Most of the media expressed that with Chu Nan’s shocking strength, he could definitely be considered a powerful competitor for the final champion of this Orion Arm Martial Arts Alliance Competition. Then, declaring that he was only satisfied with the championship and could be considered arrogant and conceited should be considered a performance of young martial artists’ confidence in their strength.
As a martial artist, he should have such confidence and ambition.
Of course, not everyone was certain of this.
A small number of media outlets were still more or less suspicious of Chu Nan’s answer. They expressed that although his strength was not bad now, because this competition involved the spot to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly held by the royal family of the Declan Empire next year, almost all the elite students of the academy chose to participate. There were countless experts, and the competition was especially intense.
Even if Chu Nan’s strength could be said to be extremely outstanding in the Earth Federation, he was probably not especially outstanding among the top students of the entire Orion Arm.
If he wanted to win the championship, he could probably only rely on luck.
The venue of this competition was the United States of Melaita. With the convenience of the host, they would definitely obtain a certain advantage. Therefore, according to normal analysis, the students of the United States of Melaita should have the greatest hope of winning the championship.
Under the positive tone set by the Earth Federation’s government, the various media outlets in the Earth Federation did not criticize Chu Nan much. Only some discordant voices sounded on the Milky Way Network.
However, at the small press conference held by Chu Nan, not only were the reporters of the Earth Federation present but there were also a few reporters from other countries who wanted to inquire about the situation of the Earth Federation’s participating students.
Regarding Chu Nan’s confident answer, these media reporters from other countries all expressed disdain. In order to attract attention, they even released extremely mocking and provocative news through the media they represented, causing more media and ordinary audiences who were concerned about this competition to react.
When others other than the Earth Federation saw this news, almost everyone treated it as a joke.
Earth Federation? Wasn’t that a remote small country that had only appeared outside the spiral arm in the past few hundred years? How strong could a guy from such a small country be?
This guy called Chu Nan had never even heard of his name. He actually dared to say that his goal was only the championship. He was simply boasting shamelessly!
One had to know that even the top students of the three academies had never said this before.
This guy was simply a clown trying to please the crowd!
This was because the Earth Federation was not especially eye-catching among the hundreds of Star Civilization countries in the Orion Arm. It could only be considered a small emerging country on the outside of the arm and did not have a deep impression of the ordinary citizens of the other countries. Therefore, regarding the students sent by the Earth Federation to participate, regardless of whether it was the media or the ordinary citizens, they did not take them seriously.
Even if many people saw the report about Chu Nan, they would at most be curious. After reading it, they would only treat it as a joke and no one would really take it seriously.
Therefore, this report only attracted a small amount of attention and did not cause any sensation.
However, some people were very concerned about this.
In the training and rest base specially prepared by the government of the United States of Melaita, Tiago opened his personal terminal and searched for the reports of the Earth Federation’s media regarding Chu Nan. He read them carefully one after another.
Seeing that he was staring at the virtual screen, the students beside him could not help but feel very curious.
A male student who was also in the same grade as Green Academy could not help but stop his cultivation and approach.
“Heh, Tiago, what are you looking at? You’re so enthusiastic.”
Tiago looked up and saw the surrounding students looking at him curiously. He smiled and said, “I’m searching for reports about Chu Nan.”
“Chu Nan?” The students were surprised and looked at each other. They recalled that ever since they came into contact with that guy called Chu Nan from the Earth Federation in the space station, Tiago seemed to be especially concerned about him.
Not only had he specially found a reporter from the Earth Federation to ask her about Chu Nan’s situation, but he had also specially searched for news reports about him.
The male student who had asked the question had an even stranger expression.
Tiago was tall, handsome, had a hearty personality, and was powerful. He could be considered an idol among the students of the Green Academy. His reputation was extremely high and he was welcomed by almost all the female students.
However, after being in Green Academy for so many years, there had never been any rumors of him having a close relationship with any female classmate. In fact, the number of times he was alone with a female classmate was pitifully few.
Therefore, there had always been a rumor among the students of the Green Academy—Senior Tiago might like men…
“Could it be that Tiago fell in love with that guy called Chu Nan at first sight?”
The male student hurriedly shook his head and threw this terrifying thought out of his mind. He composed himself and asked Tiago, “Then after looking for a long time, did you discover anything interesting?”
He was only asking casually, but he did not expect Tiago to look at everyone and nod seriously.
“Yes.” Tiago operated his personal terminal and turned the virtual screen around, “This is a report about Chu Nan in the Earth Federation that I found on the Milky Way Network. Take a look.”
Everyone leaned over and read seriously.
At first, they did not mind, but after watching for a while, they revealed shocked expressions.
“This is impossible!” A younger male student cried out in surprise, “How can he survive after falling into the stargate? Impossible!”
“No, no, no. This is not important.” Another male classmate pointed at a spot on the virtual screen, “Look here, it says that after Chu Nan returned alive, he actually personally killed the Heaven Control Martial Artist who sent him into the stargate to take revenge for himself. This is too ridiculous! He can kill a Heaven Control Martial Artist? Then doesn’t he have the strength of a Heaven Control Martial Artist now?”
“I think this is even more terrifying.” Another student pointed at another place, “This says that Chu Nan was not even an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist a year ago and was even judged by two Star-Grade Martial Artists to be unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in his life. In other words, in just a year, he has broken through from the Overlord Body Realm and has become so strong now?”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
No one would believe that a martial artist only needed a year to break through from the Overlord Body Realm to the point where he could even kill a Heaven Control expert. This went against everyone’s common sense.
Everyone looked at Tiago again.
That day, other than Ivor, Tiago was the only person who directly fought Chu Nan. Clearly, he had the most say in Chu Nan’s strength.
