[[“Despicable brat, how dare you show such disrespect!”
However, when the scheming old steward saw this scene and unleashed his power in a desperate attempt to kill Lin Mu, the latter, armed with the Heart of the Soldier King, snatched the poisoned sword and struck him down on the spot!
The once arrogant and self-assured old steward now lay dying, glaring at Lin Mu with disbelief.
“You’ve mastered such terrifying power? How could an orphan like you achieve this?”
He could not comprehend how a D-class mental power wielder like himself had been killed by an orphan who didn’t even possess a star core.
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, Don’t bully a young man when he is poor!”
At that moment, Lin Mu looked down at the old steward who had once poisoned countless orphans in the past and now lay defeated beneath his blade. He calmly spoke those words as he struck the final blow.
It was both an answer and a vow.
“Don’t bully a young man when he is poor…” The old steward murmured the phrase before drawing his final breath, his heart inexplicably filled with regret.
As this young man uttered those determined words, it seemed as if the universe itself would be shaken by his rise to power.]]
When Huo Ting reached this point in the book, he also couldn’t help but linger on Lin Mu’s words.
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, Don’t bully a young man when he is poor!”
The phrase carried a profound sense of inspiration, stirring a fiery passion in the hearts of its reader. Memories of past struggles seemed to come alive in his mind.
Meanwhile, the star network was ablaze with excitement.
The scene everyone had eagerly anticipated throughout the first volume had finally played out spectacularly at the beginning of the second.
[Who can relate? I was secretly reading this during class and nearly slammed my desk! Just grasping a hand and receiving knowledge is just too cool!]
[‘Don’t bully a young man when he is poor’, wuuu. Lin Mu might still be a pitiful orphan now, but I believe he’ll carve out his place in the universe step by step.]
[It’s over. I’m officially a Lin Mu fan now. He’s just too awesome. From now on, my idols must have this kind of spirit!]
The old steward who had once treated the group of orphans as rats in the gutter and trampled on them at will had been defeated by the rising Lin Mu. Even in death, he was awed by Lin Mu’s indomitable spirit.
Was it cool?
It was so cool it made the scalp tingle.
What’s more, for interstellar readers who had never read this kind of upgrade novel, they naturally felt a sense of excitement that made their three world views burn with excitement just by reading it.
But just as readers were screaming their hearts out, the plot took a sudden turn.
Lin Mu, who had avenged his great hatred, looked at the dead old steward in front of him, and finally stood up and turned around to find his teacher, God Of War Hachir.
To his shock, Lin Mu discovered that after passing on his ultimate skills, Hachir’s once-solid remnant soul had grown faint and weak.
[[“Teacher, what’s happening to you?”
For someone as loyal and emotional as Lin Mu, seeing Hachir’s condition filled him with profound worry.
“It’s nothing. I just need to rest for a while…in the sword you now hold.”
“There are a few things I must tell you before I sleep…”
Hachir looked at Lin Mu, his expression unusually solemn.
“What?! Teacher, you’re going to sleep for a while?!”
“No, why?! Teacher, We just met, why are you suddenly going to sleep now?”]
Readers, who had just gotten over the thrill of Lin Mu’s triumph, were blindsided. The mentor who had just appeared was now about to enter a period of dormancy.
The Interstellar readers who thought that Lin Mu could rely on the old man’s golden finger to reach the top suddenly widened their eyes. They never expected that after Lin Mu met his teacher, the teacher suddenly had to go to sleep.
Frantically flipping to the next page, they found out that while he had transferred the core power of the “Heart of the Soldier King” to him, Hachir’s own fragmented soul’s energy was nearly depleted and needed rest.
In the coming days, Lin Mu would have to face the wind and rain on his own.
[[“When the time comes and you need my help, just inject your mental power into the sword, and I will appear by your side.”
With those final words, Hachir’s figure vanished into the sword.
“Teacher, I will never let you down.”
Lin Mu, who always valued friendship and loyalty, solemnly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, and seemed to vaguely the faint echo of Hachir’s approving laughter.
Hachir felt that he had chosen wisely. A young man of such character, resolve, and talent, even when cornered and hopeless, was destined to become a true Soldier King.
Meanwhile, as Lin Mu bid a sorrowful farewell to his now-dormant mentor, news of the death of a notorious figure from the Black Zone had already spread back to the fortress.
Luke, the young master from the Black Zone, fled back to his villa in a panic, tears streaming down his face as he tearfully recounted the orphans’ “atrocities” to his father.
“Father, you must avenge me and Davis!”
The old steward, Davis, had been a close confidant of Luke. As he escaped, Luke saw that Lin Mu actually killed the old steward and hated him to death.
Luke failed to acknowledge that Davis had tried to kill Lin Mu with a poisoned weapon and that Lin Mu had only acted in self-defense.
“Outrageous!”
However, the black zone boss, who had always doted on Luke, his sole heir, was enraged beyond measure upon learning about the events.
After all, someone like Lin Mu, a mere orphan, was considered nothing more than a gutter rat in everyone’s eyes.
For a gutter rat to dare challenge the master of the black zone was seen as an act of treason!]]
At this point, every interstellar reader deeply immersed in the narrative was left in utter shock.
[I was too caught up in the excitement earlier and completely forgot that this little cannon fodder actually ran away and tattled to his family?! How despicable!]
[It’s clear that they tried to kill Lin Mu first. Being killed in return was only what they deserved. How dare they come back seeking revenge! I’m furious!]
[And to make matters worse, Teacher Hachir has just gone into a deep sleep. What now? What now? Lin Mu probably has no idea about the imminent danger, right?!]
The previous moment was the peak of satisfaction, but under Yu Mian’s masterful pen, the plot took an unexpected turn, plunging readers into a new wave of anxiety and concern.
It was as if they were personally present, bracing themselves for the villain’s revenge in the very next moment!
Meanwhile, Yu Mian who was deeply engrossed in writing smiled.
Heh, naturally, the golden finger of the old man couldn’t stay effective for too long.
A quick thrill was enough; overusing a golden finger would actually dampen the story’s appeal.
As the saying goes, “Pressure brings motivation.”
With the increase in strength and rewards, the bosses and villains faced would also continue to rise. After defeating the minor villains, stronger and more ruthless ones must follow. Only then can a feel-good novel sustain its momentum and compel readers to keep flipping pages.
Meanwhile, in the wealthy villa district of the garbage star’s uptown area, Edwin, the old steward who had received an advance copy of “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier: Volume 2, nodded repeatedly as he read.
The exhilarating and satisfying counterattack with the Heart of the Soldier King was impressive enough, but the sudden re-emergence of danger, though unexpected, made perfect sense upon reflection.
‘After all, if I died, based on the friendship between the young master and me, he would definitely…’
?
At this thought, Edwin suddenly realized something was terribly wrong.
In reality, wasn’t he the biggest villain steward in the Black Zone? !
The next moment, the door opened, and the young master An Jie, now with a cast on his leg, looked at Edwin in confusion.
“Edwin, I’ve never asked you to kill anyone, right?”
Heaven knew he was just a bit extravagant in his lifestyle and a little bad-tempered when dealing with people!
Why was the plot of this book making him feel more and more uneasy?
Could it be that he wasn’t Lin Mu in this story, but rather the cannon fodder Luke?!
The classic villainous characters that Yu Mian unconsciously created made An Jie, still in his chuunibyou phase, feel as though his entire worldview was collapsing.
Meanwhile, as “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier” became a bestseller across the Federation Star, this universally appealing work was finally garnering attention from literary critics.
[This is a groundbreaking, passionate work that transcends the monopoly of bloodlines, advocates for social equality, and emphasizes the rise through perseverance. A five-star recommendation.]
“Ah?”
When Yu Mian saw the latest review summary, he almost felt his brain sprouting from the sheer absurdity of the so-called expert recommendation.
