The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 31 We, the nameless guests, will help with this!
Upon hearing Meng Huaifeng's question, Zhu Zhuqing explained the Star Dou Empire's succession system and her own situation in detail.

The Star Dou Empire's royal family and the Zhu family have been related by marriage for generations. Princes with sufficient talent are always betrothed to a member of the Zhu family, sharing both glory and ruin. Upon reaching a certain age, the princes will engage in a power struggle, with the victor becoming king and the loser becoming a bandit.

Dai Mubai is eight years older than his older brother, a huge age gap that makes it seem hopeless for him, even if he is more talented.

When Dai Mubai awakened his martial soul, his elder brother already had his own team and his power was beginning to take shape. What could he possibly use to fight against him?

It was clear to the naked eye that Zhu Zhuqing's fate ended with Dai Mubai's defeat.

Previously, Dai Mubai had given up trying and was just getting by, only wanting to live one day at a time, but Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to accept this and wanted to survive.

In order to survive, she worked hard to cultivate and was always thinking about becoming stronger.

As a member of a prestigious family, Zhu Zhuqing had seen a lot. She knew that Shrek Academy was a shoddy academy with no simulated training grounds and barbaric and inefficient training methods. Previously, it didn't even have medicinal baths.

But she had no choice. At least by staying here, she could see if Dai Mubai could be more ambitious and become an ally to share the burden. There were also a few talented and well-connected classmates who might be able to help her in the future.

Even so, Zhu Zhuqing saw no hope whatsoever, at least not until the Shrek Seven Devils obtained the immortal herb.

She is still working hard, but she is completely lost in the direction of her efforts, because she doesn't know what else she can do besides work hard.

But now it's different. She saw the four members of the pioneering team, four people who looked so young but could easily defeat a Soul Saint (Meng Huaifeng crossed out)!

If I could get their guidance, could I become that powerful in a few years?
After several days of internal struggle, Zhu Zhuqing finally made up her mind and approached the four people.

She dared not delay too long, because she did not know when the four would leave, or whether she would ever see them again after they left.

She couldn't miss the opportunity; she had to take the initiative and seize it!
March 7th possesses a strong capacity for empathy. Listening to Zhu Zhuqing's heartfelt words, the expression on her little face looked even more excited than Zhu Zhuqing's.

"What kind of lousy family is this? How can they have such a barbaric, bloody, and backward system? Poor Zhu Qing, don't worry, we will definitely help you!" March 7th hugged Zhu Zhu Qing with heartache and assured her.

"Thank you, Sister March 7th," Zhu Zhuqing said, moved.

Since she wanted to seek their help, Zhu Zhuqing had naturally started paying attention to them long ago and learned their names from the Great Soul Arena.

"If you gain power, what will you do? Defeat your sister and brother-in-law and seize the throne?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"I don't ask for that. I just need to live." Zhu Zhuqing said frankly, "My fiancé Dai Mubai and I hadn't actually met many times before. I came to Shrek Academy to find him only because I had a sliver of hope. After learning what he had done at Shrek Academy over the past few years, I gave up on him. I haven't left because I'm unwilling to give up and I don't know where to go."

“However, we are about to leave Soto City, so even if we are willing to help you, the improvement will probably be limited,” Dan Heng told Zhu Zhuqing in advance.

Zhu Zhuqing was glad she had acted decisively; if she had hesitated for two more days, they would have left.

"If you seniors don't mind me being a burden, Zhu Zhuqing is willing to leave with you." Zhu Zhuqing looked intently at Dan Heng.

She had stayed at Shrek Academy before because she had no other choice, but now that she saw a direction and had a goal, she naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to change her destiny. "Since that's the case, we agree, but it will take some time. I don't have a thorough understanding of the martial soul cultivation system yet," Dan Heng also made his decision.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was a little strange. What did he mean by that? He was already so strong, yet he still said he didn't have a thorough understanding of martial souls?

Perhaps this was just the senior being modest. Zhu Zhuqing thought, but didn't dare to ask.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was born and raised in the Douluo Continent, had never experienced the information explosion of the Internet and could never have imagined that the power actually used by the four people was a system other than the Soul Master.

Martial Soul? It's just a novel and somewhat useful toy.

"Thank you very much, senior," Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.

"Oh dear, stop calling us 'senior' all the time, it makes us feel old. Just call us by our names or 'sister'." March 7th was a little uncomfortable with this form of address.

“That’s right, we’re all energetic young people, why call us seniors?” Meng Huaifeng laughed heartily.

"Well, thank you, brother and sister." Seeing how approachable they were, without the imposing aura of senior experts she had imagined, Zhu Zhuqing's tense mood finally eased a bit.

"Oh, right!" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly remembered something, took out a small bag from her bosom, and said with some shame, "This is a storage soul tool. Inside is all the money I took with me when I left home. There are only a few hundred gold soul coins, but this soul tool is worth several thousand gold soul coins. I'm giving it to you all together. I hope you won't mind, brothers and sisters. I will always remember your kindness."

The secrets behind enabling a young man not even twenty years old to become a Soul Saint are priceless. They are willing to help him, even if they don't give everything, but any part of it is worth far more than a few thousand gold soul coins. He has no way to repay them.

Zhu Zhuqing's actions made everyone more satisfied. The value of the reward was not important; what mattered was that it was an affirmation of the nameless customer's selfless help and provided the nameless customer with a lot of emotional value.

Some people, however, act like it's their due when you help them, which can be really infuriating.

The nameless stranger is indeed helpful, but naturally he prefers to help people like Zhu Zhuqing.

He symbolically accepted one hundred gold soul coins from Zhu Zhuqing as payment, and let Zhu Zhuqing take the rest back.

Zhu Zhuqing felt even more grateful to the four of them.

The five of them couldn't stay in the alleyway talking forever, so Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Huaifeng, and the others returned to the hotel they had booked.

The five people sat down in the room of March 7th and Xing, and Zhu Zhuqing was a little uneasy.

Since they had just met, and from Zhu Zhuqing's perspective, the other four were all seniors whose strength far surpassed hers, it was normal for her to feel uneasy.

Dan Heng, though outwardly cold, was inwardly warm. Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's unease, he took the initiative to start a conversation: "Although I have done some research on martial spirits these past few days, our situation is different from yours, that is, the native inhabitant of this world. The conclusions we have drawn from our research on martial spirits may not necessarily be suitable for you. So before helping you improve your strength, I need to understand the differences between your martial spirit as a local and our martial spirits."
