After Jack heard Chu Nan’s reply, he hastily ran, climbed up the tree that the elder was on, and whispered in his ear, “Elder, this man can use a spatial bracelet…”
“What?” Elder Alfred, who always maintained a calm disposition, had nearly fallen from the tree branch in shock. Fortunately, Jack was quick to react and hurried to support him.
“Is what you say the truth?”
Elder Alfred’s expression turned solemn. As an elder of the village, he naturally understood the strength a person was required to possess before they could obtain the qualification to use an artifact.
Heaven Realm! The continent categorized experts into the Heaven, Earth, Human, and Unranked realms. Only a true Heaven Realm expert could obtain an artifact’s recognition! Only a true Heaven Realm expert could use an artifact!
Elder Alfred carefully looked at Chu Nan from behind. As an experienced warrior, it was hard for him to believe that a young man like Chu Nan – who did not give off any power – was a Heaven Realm expert! Moreover, he could hardly believe that there was such a young Heaven Realm expert on this continent!
According to legends, even the youngest an expert could be before they stepped into the Heaven Realm was at least two decades, be it mages or warriors. Therefore, how could a young man, who looked to only be twenty, possibly be a Heaven Realm expert?
Unless! Unless he was sufficiently strong to restore youth to his body. A trace of surprise surfaced in Elder Alfred’s eyes as he suddenly recalled the rumor that a powerful expert had restored their youth.
“Are you sure he can use the spatial bracelet?” Elder Alfred cautiously questioned again.
Once again, Jack slowly nodded and added, “Not only is he capable of using the spatial bracelet, but we also didn’t sense the slightest magic fluctuation when he cast an instant magic attack to kill the summoned wolf.”
“He is capable of dual cultivation and instant magic?”
Elder Alfred felt dizzy as his head started to spin again. After having lived for nearly a century, it was the first time he had ever heard such an exaggeration.
“Yes, he is capable of dual cultivation and casting instant magic,” Jack slowly nodded and answered.
“Is that so?” Elder Alfred still found it hard to believe the fact that Chu Nan was a Heaven Realm expert.
He slowly raised his aged hand, and discreetly formed a hand sign as two syllables promptly emerged from his mouth. All of a sudden, a black crow appeared in the skies and dashed toward Chu Nan at an extreme speed.
Elder Alfred had summoned crows in the blink of an eye – an ability that druids specialized in.
“Fireball!”
Chu Nan, whose back faced Elder Alfred, suddenly turned around, and with a raise of his right arm, a scorching fireball crashed against the crow. In an instant, the black crow turned into cooked meat
At this instant, not only did the elder look at Chu Nan in astonishment, so did the other druids.
Chu Nan revealed a rather scornful smile when he looked at the crow’s corpse; however, he was so nervous to the extent his stomach started to hurt. He then secretly rejoiced over his luck deep down. If he had not seen Catherine’s look of surprise when she looked at the elder and noticed something amiss, perhaps there would have been a hole in his head right now.
Even though Chu Nan was nervous, Elder Alfred was even more shocked. He was the most skilled in summoning crows to launch sneak attacks and assassinate people. Even when set against the elders in the temple who were stronger than him, he would still be the strongest in crow summoning.
His skill that managed to successfully assassinate level 10 Human Realm barbarians was broken the instant he released it by the young man that did not possess any power. How was that possible?
The fireball that Chu Nan had released only possessed power of level 1 of the Human Realm! Although it was true that a mage at level 1 of the Human Realm could cast an instant magic attack, they would be incapable of releasing an instant magic attack on their level! With the ability to release an instant magic attack of level 1 of the Human Realm, exactly how strong was the young man?
The suspicions in his eyes eventually disappeared, and a trace of hesitation surfaced on his face. For someone who had lived in the Heaven Forest for decades, he did not have much experience in dealing with the outside world. As a result, he had no idea how he should greet the person he had just attacked, Chu Nan.
Chu Nan continued with his pretense as he acted arrogantly and raised his head despite noticing the elder’s hesitant expression. Since he had decided to act, he must not show any flaws. Otherwise, he would immediately be suspected, and the shock brought about by the following performance would be greatly reduced.
The other druids were also stunned. Although they were unaware that Chu Nan could use a spatial bracelet, just his ability to cast an instant magic attack was sufficient for them to be astonished.
The village fell into absolute silence, and everyone could distinctly hear the sound of leaves falling.
All of a sudden, the only thatched house with its door closed suddenly opened. A young man with an anxious expression shouted, “Elder! Aleta vomited blood again, and it’s worse than last time! It looks like he is unable to hold on!”
The sudden shout had broken the silence, and everyone’s attention focused on what the young druid had shouted. All of them then looked at Chu Nan standing on the ground.
“Why are you looking at me?” Chu Nan’s expression turned dark as he spoke with a frown, “Aren’t you going to bring him down here for me to have a look?”
Elder Alfred blanked out momentarily before he immediately shouted, “Quick! Carry Aleta here now!”
After Chu Nan heard Elder Alfred’s shouts, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party agreed for the patient to be carried down, or else he would immediately be exposed the moment he climbed up the rattan.
Before he had seen the wounded man, Chu Nan had envisioned the degree of Aleta’s injuries countless times.
Entire body wrapped in bandages? Or perhaps beaten blue and black? If not, he would at most have a broken arm or leg, right?
However, never in his wildest dreams had Chu Nan expected for the top warrior of the druid village to be severely injured to this extent. If he had not known it was Aleta that they carried down, he might have possibly thought that he was watching an exhibition of abstract art.
A heap of minced meat? Or should he describe it as a pile of meat covered in blood with all of his bones broken?
