Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Immortal Wu looked solemn and said slowly: "The stars show that this catastrophe comes from the depths of the star realm. A powerful dark force is reviving... Xingchen, you are gifted and have a great responsibility. Perhaps only you can stop this catastrophe!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled. They knew that Immortal Wu was not exaggerating. A bigger crisis was quietly approaching, and a battle concerning the fate of the entire star world was about to begin.

"Master Wu, what should I do?" Gao Xingchen asked in a deep voice.

Immortal Wu stroked his beard and said slowly: "The catastrophe in the star realm is of great magnitude. You need to improve your strength as soon as possible. The weapon refining competition is about to begin. You need to go all out to win the championship and obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm of the star realm!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li nodded seriously. They knew that they had a heavy responsibility and dared not slack off. After seeing off Wu Xianren, Gao Xingchen plunged into the weapon refining room and began to make the final sprint for the upcoming weapon refining competition.

The weapon refining competition is a grand event held every ten years in the Star Realm, which brings together weapon refining talents from all star regions. The champion of the competition can not only receive generous rewards, but more importantly, he can obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm of the Star Realm, seek breakthroughs in it, and even have the opportunity to aspire to become a weapon refining master.

Gao Xingchen had been preparing for this competition for a long time. He carefully selected rare refining materials and studied refining techniques day and night, hoping to show his skills at this event and live up to the expectations of Nanli and Wu Xianren.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on him.

On the eve of the competition, Gao Xingchen opened the secret room where the refining materials were stored, only to find that the rare materials that were supposed to be lying quietly in it had disappeared, and were replaced by some inferior substitutes.

Gao Xingchen was suddenly struck by lightning. These inferior materials could not withstand the powerful flames he controlled, let alone refine high-quality magic weapons. This was clearly done intentionally by someone with the purpose of ruining his competition!

"Who is it? Who on earth wants to harm me?!" Gao Xingchen was furious, and countless suspects flashed through his mind.

After calming down, he began to carefully check the secret room, hoping to find some clues. Soon, he found a small scale in the corner, which exuded a faint chill and was obviously not from an ordinary beast.

Gao Xingchen carefully identified the scales, and suddenly a figure appeared in his mind—Xuan Yu!

Xuan Yu is a talented weapon refiner who has gained fame among the younger generation of the Star Realm, and is also Nan Li's pursuer. He has always regarded Gao Xingchen as a thorn in his side, and is jealous that he can win Nan Li's favor.

"Could it be him? In order to stop me from participating in the competition, he actually used such despicable means!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger.

He would never let this despicable man go easily, nor would he allow him to destroy his dreams!

Gao Xingchen's mind flashed with Xuan Yu's handsome but sinister face. Xuan Yu was a weapon-refining genius of the younger generation in the Star Realm. He was born in a famous family and had outstanding talent. He was already famous at a young age and was the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls. However, he could not get the love he wanted for Nan Li, so he was full of jealousy and hatred towards Gao Xingchen.

"He must have tampered with something before the game!" Gao Xingchen could almost conclude.

He knew Xuan Yu was ruthless, but he didn't expect him to use such despicable means. Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and a rage burned in his chest. But he quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to be angry. There were only three days left before the start of the competition, and he had to find a solution.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to carefully examine the replaced materials. Although these materials were inferior, they were not completely useless. As long as they were used a little, they might be able to be refined into a decent magic weapon.

"Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Nan Li noticed that Gao Xingchen was acting strangely, walked into the weapon refining room, and asked with concern.

Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li's worried eyes, and his heart warmed. He didn't want her to worry, so he smiled casually and said, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to refine a unique magic weapon."

Although Nan Li had doubts in her heart, she did not ask any further questions. She just said gently: "I believe you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

Gao Xingchen nodded. Nanli's trust and support gave him great encouragement. He gathered his thoughts and began to concentrate on refining the weapon.

At the same time, Xuan Yu was standing on an attic in the distance, staring at Gao Xingchen's weapon refining room with a cold gaze, a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

“Gao Xingchen, even if you are gifted, without good materials, you can only refine junk! In this weapon refining competition, I will make you lose face and become the laughing stock of the entire star world!”

Xuan Yu was full of confidence in his plan. He believed that as long as Gao Xingchen failed in the competition, Nan Li would recognize his true face and fall into his arms.

However, he didn't know that Gao Xingchen's determination and perseverance far exceeded his imagination, and he didn't know that Nanli's love for Gao Xingchen was not based on illusory achievements, but on the deep feelings accumulated through life and death. A bigger storm is quietly brewing, and this refining competition is destined to become a turning point that changes their destiny.

Nan Li was furious when she learned that Gao Xingchen's competition materials had been swapped. She could no longer tolerate Xuan Yu's despicable behavior, so she decided to take action herself and expose his true face.

As night fell, the stars dimmed. Nan Li put on a nightgown, moved through the night like a ghost, and quietly sneaked into Xuan Yu's residence. With years of experience as a killer, she avoided the layers of guards and sneaked into Xuan Yu's study.

In the study, Xuan Yu was leisurely sipping tea with a determined smile on his face. He seemed to have foreseen the scene of Gao Xingchen making a fool of himself in the competition, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Nan Li held her breath and carefully searched every corner of the study. Finally, she found a scroll in the secret compartment of the desk. When she opened it, it was Xuan Yu's detailed plan to frame Gao Xingchen!

Nan Li felt a chill in her heart. Xuan Yu's scheming and ruthlessness were far beyond her imagination. She put the scroll in her arms and prepared to leave.

However, the moment she turned around, the door was suddenly pushed open, and several guards holding sharp blades rushed in and surrounded Nan Li.

"Who is it?!" the leading guard shouted sternly.

Nan Li thought to herself that this was not good, but she remained calm, drew out her dagger, and prepared to fight to the death.

"No need to ask, she came to see me." Xuan Yu's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of teasing and pride.

He walked slowly into the study, looked at Nan Li who was surrounded, and sneered, "Nan Li, I always thought you were a smart woman, but I didn't expect you would do this for him."

"Xuan Yu, you are despicable and shameless!" Nan Li scolded angrily.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Only the winner has the right to speak." A cold light flashed in Xuan Yu's eyes, "Catch her!"

The guards received the order and immediately launched an attack on Nan Li. Nan Li was a skilled martial artist, but was outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this critical moment, a beam of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky. A huge explosion sounded, and Xuan Yu's residence was immediately plunged into chaos.

"What's going on?!" Xuan Yu was shocked and angry. Before he could react, a figure broke in through the window and landed next to Nan Li.

It’s Gao Xingchen!

"Lier, are you okay?" Gao Xingchen asked with concern.

"I'm fine, why are you here?" Nan Li was surprised and happy.

"I'm here to take you home." Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, and in his hand there appeared a sharp sword flashing with cold light.

"Just you?!" Xuan Yu laughed in anger, "Kill him for me!"

Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him, wielding the sword in his hand, and sending out sword energy, forcing the guards who rushed over to retreat. Although he did not have the right materials to refine magic weapons, he had studied hard in the past few days, and his understanding of the way of refining weapons had reached a higher level. He even integrated a trace of the origin of fire into the sword energy, doubling its power.

In the chaos, Gao Xingchen took Nan Li's hand, broke through the siege, and disappeared into the night.

Xuan Yu looked at their departing backs, his face ashen and his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Gao Xingchen, Nanli, just wait for me! I won't let you go!"

The weapon refining competition is about to begin. Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li overcome the difficulty of insufficient materials and win the competition? Is this game a counterattack for Gao Xingchen or a revenge for Xuan Yu?
