Chapter 296:The Bodyguard and the Kings Bait (I)
Chapter 296:The Bodyguard and the King's Bait (I)
These were two basic spatial runes. Next, Chen Chu needed to use these as a foundation to incorporate coordinates and begin constructing the passage, just like how he had built the secret scripture.
Although Chen Chu didn’t understand the path of the spatial law mastered by the Silver Dragon, this experience allowed him to thoroughly understand the fundamentals. He just needed to build on this foundation by combining basic runes like “coordinates” and “tear,” then verify each step to complete the passage.
The reason Chen Chu had understood these innate runes so quickly was partly due to his inherent spatial ability. In the Golden Dragon Double Pupil state, he could perceive and understand spatial phenomena beyond normal human capacity. This allowed him to peer deeper into the void to study the mysteries and secrets of space.
Furthermore, with these insights into the essence of spatial fundamentals, he could continue to comprehend spatial power with the help of his double pupils in the future. This gave Chen Chu hope that he might have a firm grasp on spatial laws when he reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm.
"Bro, bro... It's time to go," Li Daoyi reminded Chen Chu, who was leaning against a wall in the corridor.
"It's time to go?" Chen Chu looked up. He closed the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture in his hand, which resembled a white book, and the silver phantoms in his eyes gradually faded away.
"Bro, you work too hard. You were contemplating the secret scripture even while standing outside the door?” Admiration shone in Li Daoyi’s eyes.
He had seen many geniuses who reached the late stage and peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm within three years of cultivation. Each of these people was a top-level genius at their respective school.
Compared to them, however, the person in front of him not only had a stronger ability, but also worked much harder. After about ten days together, Li Daoyi had noticed that whenever Chen Chu had free time, he was either immersed in cultivation or contemplating the secret scripture, demonstrating an extraordinary level of determination.
Even though Li Daoyi himself claimed to enjoy cultivating, he couldn't match Chen Chu's level of dedication. Occasionally, he would get distracted and do other things, like chatting with beautiful women.
At this moment, Chen Chu asked, "Bro, have you gained any insights from wandering around the hotel recently?"
Although everything in the hotel seemed normal so far, neither of them let their guard down. After all, even if their opponents were only soul avatars with cultivation at the Sixth Heavenly Realm, their experience, knowledge, and overall level were still at the king level.
If the avatars contained laws instead of merely using mental power to manipulate transcendent energy, their combat power would be even more terrifying.
Li Daoyi, eyebrows dancing with excitement, replied, "Over the past few days, I've added more than twenty beautiful women to my contacts. Even late at night, they keep messaging me.
"Especially Xiao Qiao, who sends me private photos every night at eleven, asking me to go out for a walk. But I never accept. What's the point of walking around at eleven when the streets are deserted and empty?"
With a peculiar expression, Chen Chu thought to himself, If she's asking you to go out for a walk late at night, it's to go to a hotel.
Then, he asked Li Daoyi, "... How much have you spent on red packets these past few days?"
"Not much, just over a hundred thousand."
"Have you ever thought about meeting any of them in person?"
Li Daoyi looked at Chen Chu strangely. "Why meet up? Everyone says dating and hanging out with women is troublesome. I find chatting with them online more interesting."
Hearing this, Chen Chu could only think, This guy really has a unique mindset for being an awakened genius.
Seeing Li Daoyi's method of using money to attract women, Chen Chu had thought it was just a classic case of the wealthy being persistent. However, even with Li Daoyi's method, who was more attracted to whom was up for debate.
At that moment, Bai Yunfeng, Yan Ruoyi, Xu Xiaoqi, and the beautiful dancers accompanying them emerged from the room, quickly followed by the music team.
When they were having a meeting in the room earlier, Chen Chu had felt bored and left after ensuring there was no abnormal activity. He decided to spend his time outside, constructing the rune for the spatial passage.
Soon, a dozen cars departed from the hotel. Looking from above, one could see many people in Dongdu heading toward the Shinguang Stadium in a grand procession.
Although Yan Ruoyi's main fan base was in East Xia, she also had many fans in Yueshan due to her widespread popularity. This concert followed the same model as East Xia, where a certain number of people from each city were selected to attend for free.
However, compared to the stadium in Tiannan, Dongdu's largest stadium could only accommodate just over twenty thousand people. The layout was different too; it looked like a soccer field, and for the past few days, Bai Yunfeng had been coordinating with local officials to modify the stadium.
"Miss Ruoyi, this way."
The staff led Yan Ruoyi and her team to the backstage dressing room. At that moment, Chen Chu, once again in his black suit, stepped forward and entered first.
Standing at the door, Chen Chu's sharp eyes scanned every corner, and he enhanced his senses of hearing and smell, while also expanding his psychic perception. After ensuring everything was fine, he retracted his gaze.
"No problem here," he said, stepping aside to clear the doorway.
While Yan Ruoyi and her team prepared for the concert backstage, the entrance to the stadium began to fill with TV stations and media setting up for a live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I am Fei Meng, the host from Banana Platform. Behind me is the venue for international superstar Yan Ruoyi's concert, where ticketing has just begun. This time, not only do we have fans from all over Dongdu, but many local celebrities have also announced their attendance.
"Look, the celebrity convoy has arrived. Leading the way is famous actress Reimi Ishihara, looking stunning in a white slit gown that showcases her sexy figure.
"Next to her is the popular martial arts star Li Junmin. Rumor has it the two are dating, though it hasn't been officially confirmed. It's also said that Li Junmin is a Third Heavenly Realm cultivator.
"The second arrival is the nation's most popular queen of pop, Tonggu Ling. She looks absolutely gorgeous today..."
As the audience continued to enter and the sky darkened, Yan Ruoyi finished the makeup for her opening act. Meanwhile, the scheduled local TV staff also arrived backstage.
"This is the backstage area of the concert venue, where Miss Yan Ruoyi is getting ready. We can see many staff members busy working to ensure the concert goes smoothly.
"Next, follow our camera as we go interview Miss Yan Ruoyi..."
As the camera moved, the team quickly arrived outside the dressing room. However, they were stopped by a hand when they were about to enter.
Chen Chu stood tall by the door like a wall. His face, covered by sunglasses, was expressionless as he calmly stated, "Today's pre-show interview is canceled."
"Damn! It's that bodyguard. He's still here."
"It's him, it's him. That annoying guy is back again."
"Just a mere bodyguard, yet he dares to stop the media from interviewing Yan Ruoyi. Who does he think he is?"
When Chen Chu appeared on the screen, viewers around the world watching the live broadcast instantly became excited, surprised, and frustrated, due to the fact that this bodyguard was still around.
Was tonight’s concert going to feature this bodyguard that overshadows the star again? Please, no.
Amid the lamentations of many fans, the clock hit 7:50 PM, and the entire stadium's lights went out at the backstage director's command.
