Dashing Student-Chapter 1220: Are You Really That Strong?

From the woman’s mouth, Chen Nan learned many things, such as the place where they are currently located, belongs to the range of Luoyue Island.

The cultivators who caught them are also from Luoyue Island.

The reason they were captured is that they are needed to mine the spirit veins on Luoyue Island; everyone caught will become a miner for Luoyue Island.

"So they picked me up just to make me mine, how admirable." Chen Nan was almost laughing with anger; he wondered why someone would pick him up despite his severe injuries.

Chen Nan learned about the situation on the Endless Sea from the woman, but her cultivation was low, and she knew very little, without any valuable information.

The only thing worth praising is that the woman seems very familiar with Luoyue Island, knowing that the ruler of Luoyue Island is a Golden Core Realm cultivator named Luo Tuo, whose cultivation is at the Fifth Level of the Golden Core Realm.

He is the strongest among hundreds of small islands within Luoyue Island’s range. He is an outsider who killed the former ruler and took over Luoyue Island.

After taking over the island, he recruited many wrongdoers to form a powerful force, forcibly capturing cultivators from other islands to mine.

Originally, if a spirit vein is properly utilized and not excessively mined, it could last a few thousand years without issues. But if mined excessively like Luo Tuo, the spirit vein would dry out in less than a hundred years.

From the woman’s words, Chen Nan learned that the resources on the Endless Sea might be richer than he imagined.

After all, a Fifth Level Golden Core Realm cultivator can occupy an entire spirit vein, which is almost unimaginable on the Nine Provinces Continent.

Another thing is that the Endless Sea is more chaotic than the Nine Provinces Continent; on the Nine Provinces Continent, even if one commits evil, it cannot be too blatant because numerous sects and families oversee it.

But on the Endless Sea, it’s much freer; might makes right, and no one cares about actions like Luo Tuo killing the previous ruler.

As long as one’s strength is strong enough, it seems one can do anything.

After contemplating for a long time, Chen Nan decided to first hide on Luoyue Island, because he didn’t know if the forces from the Nine Provinces Continent have extended their reach to the Endless Sea.

If he exposed his identity and attracted a pursuit, it would be troublesome.

After knowing his current situation, Chen Nan calmed down, sat aside, and began meditating and cultivating, which shocked the other captured cultivators.

In such circumstances, he could still calmly cultivate; how big is his heart?

Knowing that once caught for mining, one must meet a certain daily quota, or face punishment. Many people were beaten to death for not meeting the mining quota.

Even if one could mine enough, there would be no reward; once inside the spirit vein, apart from being tired to death or beaten to death, there is no other way out.

Thus, Chen Nan’s actions seemed very unusual to them.

Chen Nan naturally felt their gazes but didn’t care; when he tried to touch his storage bag, he found it missing.

Only then did he realize that his storage bag had been taken, not just one but two!

Even his storage belt was taken; he was practically destitute.

"Hehe, let’s see if you dare to take them but don’t dare to open them." Chen Nan coldly laughed in his heart, ignoring them, and instead used the little mana left in his body to slowly wear down the lingering Power of Laws within.

Only by completely wearing down the Power of Laws can he heal his internal injuries.

At that moment in the cabin, the burly man who picked up Chen Nan was full of joy, looking at the two storage bags and the storage belt in front of him.

"Hehe, this kid really has a lot of storage magical artifacts on him; he’s obviously not a common cultivator. Once I open the storage bags, I’ll escape; the resources inside are enough for my cultivation!"

The burly man never considered submitting these items; he even thought of escaping the range of Luoyue Island. But just as he joyfully tried to open the storage bags, he found them impossible to open.

After trying for a long time, the burly man suddenly thought of something; there’s only one reason the storage bags won’t open, and that is the owner’s cultivation is stronger than his.

Only in that case, the divine thought left on the storage bag wouldn’t be breached.

The burly man broke into a cold sweat, realizing if the cultivator he picked up truly has cultivation surpassing his, he might be courting death with his actions.

He could no longer sit still, hurriedly stood up, took the storage bags and belt in his hand, and rushed to the lower cabin.

Seeing Chen Nan had awakened and was meditating and cultivating, the burly man became even more anxious; such behavior is not typical of a low-level cultivator but rather of an aloof great cultivator!

"Haha, little brother, I was the one who picked you up, these are your things, I was just safeguarding them for you, now you’ve awakened, I’ll return them all to you." The burly man approached grinning.

Chen Nan opened his eyes with a playful smile: "Are you sure it’s not because you can’t open them?"

The burly man instantly realized the person in front of him was definitely someone he couldn’t provoke, since there was not the slightest worry or fear in his eyes, just like he was on a vacation.

"I really was just safeguarding them, not daring to have any other thoughts. How about you come outside with me, let me entertain you properly?"

"No need, there are some things I don’t want others to know, you understand?" Chen Nan waved his hand and closed his eyes again.

Unable to open the storage bags, seeking to explain shows the burly man in front of him is not a fool.

"Understood, understood."

The burly man nodded while smiling apologetically, then retreated to the lower cabin, imagining a grand encounter in his mind.

Judging from Chen Nan’s injuries, the battle must have been intense; he was sure Chen Nan ended up here by accident, seemingly wanting to stay to heal.

No matter what Chen Nan plans, the burly man understood one thing: he couldn’t provoke Chen Nan; it’s best to act as if this incident never happened.

Just now, the burly man’s humble appearance left other captured cultivators dumbfounded, especially the woman, who was shocked and covered her mouth.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Chen Nan smiled slightly, grateful to the woman who gave him medicine under such circumstances, a small act of kindness is extraordinarily valuable.

"You can call me... Jue Mingzi."

He decided to hide his name, but since his appearance had been seen, he would no longer change it, assuming no one could quickly find out his identity.

"Jue Mingzi... are you strong?" the woman suddenly asked again.

Chen Nan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Can I... ask you to kill someone?"
