Lin Duo was indeed in trouble, and it was a matter of life and death. A female high school student like her should not have encountered such trouble.
Hearing Gu Nan's words, Lin Duo's face flashed with panic, and she shook her head to deny it.
The teachers did not seem to have any suspicions, or perhaps it was the appearance of the "king-level heroic spirit", Gu Nan, that attracted most of their attention.
…
Half an hour later, Lin Duo stood alone in the corner of the school field, while Gu Nan stood quietly behind her in a gray suit.
"Mr. Gu Nan, how did you know I was in trouble?" Lin Duo had a serious expression on her face.
"There's something unclean on you." Gu Nan didn't even bat an eyelid as he casually answered her, but his gaze was sizing up the surroundings with interest.
This was the capital's No. 4 High School, so the field was mostly filled with high school students.
All of them had youthful faces, but they were surrounded by Valiant Spirits with different appearances: some were humanoid, some had the appearance of a beast, and some were even a sword.
A little girl skipped past him, and a scimitar swayed behind her. This strange scene happened in front of Gu Nan, but the people around him did not find it strange at all.
The heroic spirits were the core of this continent. Almost the entire power system here was built around the heroic spirits.
Even the natives did not call their world "Morning Star", but directly called it the "Heroic Spirit Continent".
From personal cultivation to combat, and even to the wars between forces and nations, hundreds of millions of heroic spirits played an important role in all of this.
Gu Nan's words made Lin Duo feel a chill, as if it reminded her of a terrifying experience.
"What … What is it?" The girl's lips were pale, and her voice was trembling.
"Just some tricks, not worth mentioning." Gu Nan did not pay much attention to it, and instead asked, "Have you heard of the Moon Slave or the Son of the Moon Slave?"
Gu Nan's mission was to "kill the Son of the Moon Slave", and this mission was divided into two steps — find the target, and kill the target.
Lin Duo looked confused, and then shook her head.
Gu Nan did not think that she would lie, and could only sigh inwardly as he considered looking for information elsewhere.
The flow of time in the Morning Star Plane and the Astral Realm was about fifteen to one. Gu Nan had set aside a month for himself, so he could stay here for more than a year.
Right at this moment, two black-clothed men quickly walked over and arrived before Lin Duo.
"Miss Lin, about that matter, what do you think?" One of the two men, a bald man wearing sunglasses, said expressionlessly.
Lin Duo was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "That's something my grandfather left behind, I won't sell it to you no matter what!"
The bald man in black didn't mind. He just smiled and said, "Then Miss Lin, please think about it for a few more days."
He put on the black round hat in his hand and said, "Our Heavenly King Group never forces anyone to buy or sell. Miss Lin can rest assured about this."
Seeing this, Gu Nan just watched. Since Lin Duo did not say anything, he would not be a busybody.
Gu Nan just watched. Since Lin Duo didn't say anything, he wouldn't be a busybody. However, since there were no clues for the mission, Gu Nan chose to lie low for the time being, not wanting to expose himself too early.
However, there were no clues about the mission at the moment, so Gu Nan chose to hide for the time being. He did not intend to expose himself too early.
… …
In the quiet library, Gu Nan was flipping through an ancient book unhurriedly, a stack of books in front of him.
"Mister Gu Nan, the information you wanted is here!"
"Bang!" Lin Duo pouted as she placed the heavy book in her hand on the table. Her face was full of dissatisfaction.
Heroic spirits were supposed to assist the Heroic Spiritualist's growth and battle, so why was it the other way around?
However, Lin Duo was just an ordinary high school girl, and her personality was not tough. She could only sulk in her heart.
However, Gu Nan ignored her and continued to read through the information on his own. Compared to the mission to find the 'Eye of Max', it was much smoother this time.
The term 'Moon Slave' was easy to find clues, or rather, it was a famous story that could be found even in an ordinary high school library.
Moon Slaves were one of the famous Heroic Spirit Kings in ancient times, but they had not appeared in the world for a long time. Not many people knew of them now.
However, it was easy to find information about them in ancient books.
'Elves are natural heroic spirits, they should be unique to this plane.' Gu Nan frowned, making a judgement on the so-called Moon Slave.
Heroic spirits were unique to the Morning Star Plane. Most of them were not reincarnated, but rather native or foreign powerhouses, a projection of some intense will.
For example, there was a grandmaster of the way of the sword who could not reach the pinnacle of the way of the sword in his entire life. A strand of his will was chosen by the Morning Star Plane's will, and a heroic spirit descended.
This Heroic Spirit was based on the Sword Dao Grandmaster, but there was no conscious connection between the two. Even their personalities were different.
The heroic spirit only inherited the grandmaster's will towards the way of the sword. Its knowledge and intelligence were incomplete, but it was likely to be stronger in terms of swordsmanship.
Other than these heroic spirits, there was another type of natural heroic spirit.
Natural heroic spirits belonged to the category of living beings. Not only were their minds complete, but they could also cultivate and grow on their own. For example, Moon Slaves and reincarnated heroic spirits like Gu Nan.
Gu Nan put down the information in his hands and slowly stood up.
This was only a high school library after all, and the information on 'Moon Slaves' was limited to this. There was no more detailed information.
Seeing him stand up, Lin Duo revealed a puzzled expression, "You're done reading?"
Gu Nan nodded lightly, "What's the matter?"
A blush appeared on the girl's face, and she seemed a little bashful, "The school is holding a heroic spirit competition the day after tomorrow. Can you participate with me?"
The Heroic Spirit Master Competition sounded like a competition that both the Summoner and the Heroic Spirit participated in.
"Sure," Gu Nan replied casually. He was not pressed for time in this reincarnation, and he did not mind doing some unrelated things.
Moreover, as his summoner, Lin Duo might have a side mission on her.
It was not easy for him to reincarnate once, and it would be a waste if he only did a main mission.
After agreeing to Lin Duo's request, Gu Nan left quickly. He only left a sentence for Lin Duo, "Summon me if you encounter anything bad."
Heroic spirits could summon heroic spirits back to their side. This was common knowledge in the Morning Star Plane.
"Ah? Where are you going … "Lin Duo hurriedly asked, but Gu Nan's figure had already disappeared.
