Capítulo 8: Battlefield
Lei Feng was momentarily choosing to retreat, all the while his brain was working non-stop.
Since ancient times, he had never learned any martial arts. He simply thought that martial arts were created by humans, so why couldn't he just create one himself?
However, he usually didn't have much time, and he wasn't involved in fights often, so he hadn't paid much attention to this.
Luckily, he had a natural talent, and very quickly made a decision. He used one hand to deflect the punch aimed at him, and with the other hand, he directly struck at her face.
What? You don't hit women? Look at Xue Lian, this is clearly a human-shaped monster. If he don't fight back, he'll be the one getting beaten.
"Haha, I don't believe you can dodge this."
He initially thought that he was about to succeed, but instantly, he felt something was wrong.
"I'm...floating? No, I've been kicked." A thought flashed through his mind.
At the very moment he approached her, Xue Lian had used her leg to sweep him off balance. Now, his body was floating mid-air, spinning uncontrollably.
Xue Lian, of course, didn't hesitate, kicking him away. He tumbled across the ground a few times but stood back up, showing no sign of fear on his face.
"You're really strong. Do you want to join me?"
"Huh, where did you get that confidence from? Clearly, I'm stronger, so shouldn't I be the leader?"
Xue Lian didn't hold back in her retort. And there was nothing illogical about it - she had every right to be arrogant.
Seeing that she was aiming directly at him, Lei Feng wasn't afraid at all and walked straight up to her:
"The highest leader isn't the strongest, nor the smartest. It's the one who can make the smartest, the strongest, willingly follow them. That's the true meaning of a emperor."
He extended his hand toward her and said:
"Xue Lian, come with me. Together, we will change this world."
His aura truly carried a sovereign will. Despite being hit, and his clothes a bit disheveled, there wasn't a trace of inferiority about him.
Xue Lian was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter:
"Haha, a emperor? In this era? Interesting. And what do you plan to call yourself, emperor?"
"I will be called the Xi Emperor."
Hearing that, not only Xue Lian but also Azeroth and Long Wei were stunned. They stared at him for a while but couldn't find a single "Xi" in his name.
"Hey, why are you using the name Xi?" Azeroth asked.
This was a question that everyone standing there had.
"Why? Because he's my idol, the ideal figure I created in my heart. Since the great Xi Emperor hasn't appeared in this world, I will inherit his will and rise to the highest position."
Lei Feng spoke confidently, with no trace of uncertainty about his future.
As long as he dared, he could do it. But if he didn't dare, he would never achieve it.
At this moment, Xue Lian shook his hand and said:
"I am Xue Lian. It's a pleasure to accompany His Majesty."
This wasn't just some playful act. They all knew that the world had changed dramatically.
The opportunity for them to ascend to supreme power wasn't out of the question.
To say it more accurately, in the modern world, becoming an emperor wasn't impossible either. As long as the people supported it, why wouldn't it be achievable?
However, it was clearly going to be extremely difficult. Moreover, the Xi Emperor wasn't some ordinary emperor. He was the kind of emperor who had never appeared in the entirety of human history.
"Alright, the four of us will set out. Time is running out, and if we don't hurry, we won't reach the top of the world." Lei Feng said with a cheerful smile.
The injuries didn't seem to hurt him anymore. If getting hit once meant having someone like Xue Lian join him, he'd gladly be beaten for a hundred years.
The four of them joyfully set off, each looking happy and healthy. Naturally, aside from the supreme leader, everyone else was in great shape.
Seeing this, it was clear how much pressure the Xi Emperor would have to endure, and it would only get heavier in the future.
But so what? The Xi Emperor was born to be supreme. Even if he didn't become the ruler of the universe, he wouldn't fall far short.
Along the way, no one followed them. At this point, everyone was in a state of panic, and no one had the time to watch a bunch of kids fight.
Because of this, they avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble. At this stage, it wasn't wise to take in weaklings.
Later, when they had a stable foundation, they could expand the criteria for recruiting members.
After walking for a long time, they started to feel something wasn't quite right. Long Wei spoke up:
"Why are there so few insects here? I don't see any reptiles either. On the contrary, I can spot some large herbivores."
"Hahaha, the universe is full of strange things. Besides, who told you this is Earth?" Azeroth chuckled in response.
Hearing this, the group was stunned for a moment before Xue Lian asked:
"Hey, how do you explain those animals then? They're no different from the ones on Earth!"
"Who said that just because something exists on Earth, it can't exist on other planets? The universe, in its essence, is pretty much the same everywhere, right?
Everything came from that same big explosion, so what's strange about encountering similar planets or creatures? Besides, the environment here isn't that different from Earth."
Hearing this, the three of them nodded. They realized they had been narrow-minded, and the unfamiliar situation had caused them to be a bit conservative in their thinking.
But at this moment, Lei Feng focused on a much more important issue. He asked:
"So, what exactly are we supposed to do? Wandering around and wasting energy isn't a solution. Sure, this forest has plenty of fruit, but if we just keep walking and eating, we're no better than primitive animals, right?"
The other two nodded in agreement. If they just ran around, ate, and slept, they really wouldn't be much different from wild animal.
"You guys are cheating a bit. Others don't have this little bug like me by their side. So, I'll reveal something to you a little early. This place is a battlefield for highly intelligent species. You just need to kill them and absorb the star inside their hearts."
Hearing this, the three of them were taken aback. They had known something wasn't normal here, but they hadn't expected it to be this remarkable.
If this was truly a battlefield, but they hadn't encountered anyone despite running around, just how vast was this place? All three of them shared the same question.
