Chapter 752 - 473: Duel? Join Forces to Act!
[Warning: Suspected high-energy missile explosion!]
[Warning: Magnetic field disorder, electronics subject to strong interference...]
[....]
The defense system at the High Wall issued numerous warning alerts, and several figures immediately rose into the sky, standing atop the High Wall, gazing into the distance.
The vast sky should have been normal, but there appeared a giant void in the cloud sea several kilometers away.
A cone-shaped mark seemed to be etched into the dome, lingering for a long time.
In addition, a military flying device could be seen instantly slicing through the sky, going to investigate.
"What’s the situation?"
The five-colored crystal on the left chest reflected the sky light, and Wang Cheng asked in a deep voice.
He vaguely had some suspicions and captured some traces from a distance.
But... ultimately, there was still some uncertainty.
"It’s been found out."
"The military informed that it was Admiral Chen... practicing martial arts."
The voice on the last two words trembled noticeably, and the face of the adjacent guarding Flying General was filled with astonishment and doubt.
If not for being aware of the tough-as-nails character of those military people, he almost would have thought they had learned to joke.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and several Flying Generals had inexplicable expressions.
The human body, on par with a legend.
Could it be that Master Chen really has no limits?
.....
Rustle rustle!
The fierce wind howled, and Chen Feng hovered high in the sky.
In front of him, a kilometer of cloud sea disappeared, and he slowly withdrew his fists, quite satisfied with his recent attempt.
Every time he broke through the Martial Arts Ladder, he gained new insights, almost like a reward from the World Will to the Ladder Climber.
This time, apart from the basic potential enhancement, the unique aspect of the [Extreme Speed] was also quite impressive.
Unlike the powerful rebound gained from the [Body of Ten Thousand Catties], this time it was a special application on the speed level.
After resonating with the world, it allowed him to achieve an ultra-high burst, synchronizing the speed of neural reaction.
In a brief instant, he could deliver a full-force blow, thereby generating a special skill close to fused power.
"Now, I should have surpassed the Lie Dingshi."
Power wholly resided in him, and by referencing the strength of the Holy Shield Giant, Chen Feng was very certain of his current level.
He had already stepped into the threshold of a Lower-Rank Envoy.
However, the only slight flaw was.
He still couldn’t grasp the so-called martial arts momentum.
In other words, he mainly relied on his strong physique, utilizing monstrous strength, speed, and defense to forcibly step into this level.
"You’re really a freak."
The voice of the Star Spirit echoed in his mind, and the reflected illusory image seemed to click its tongue, somewhat unbelievable.
"Your world is clearly like ours, primarily on the technological level, with no extraordinary awakening or self-cultivation to reach extremely high personal levels."
"Yet you have managed to extend the so-called martial arts all the way to this point."
The Star Spirit suddenly felt some admiration for Chen Feng.
In past times, aside from understanding Earth Star, she also gathered a lot of information about others.
The step-by-step growth trajectory was all unexpected, which was why she chose to follow him and become an allied partner.
Without providing an explanation, Chen Feng was pleased with her misconception.
However.
"Extraordinary Awakening?"
He temporarily set aside his exploration of martial arts momentum, focusing on the key point.
The Ancient Tado Civilization was so powerful, once ruling many world civilizations in the Star Realm.
They might have discovered other extraordinary individual civilizations similar to the High Wall Alliance.
Very quickly, without hiding, the Star Spirit nodded.
"Civilizations in the Star Realm are countless; some worlds rely on powerful individual forces to develop their civilization."
"We call it Extraordinary Awakening, and some have developed special personal cultivation methods, similar to your martial arts."
"And there are some extremely rare Star Realm Creatures that, upon reaching adulthood, can attain the Legendary Level... These are all civilizations and groups with mighty individual power."
As she spoke, a military flying device approached rapidly.
From a distance, Chen Feng saw it and did not hurry to leave.
"Then haven’t you tried utilizing these civilizations’ cultivation methods to enhance yourselves?"
"No."
The Star Spirit answered decisively, without hiding her pride.
"Our technological achievements are already powerful, allowing every ordinary person the chance to gain higher power."
"Modifications, mecha, gene potions, biological essence blood, from high to low, cover the group, even those legendary super ancient creatures are just one of our technological materials."
"And don’t forget, we have Divine Technology, so naturally, there’s no need for those cultivation methods."
Chen Feng understood, finally realizing why the Ancient Tado Civilization only developed technology.
They were at the pinnacle of the Star Realm’s civilizations in this area, so naturally, they had little interest in extraordinary methods on an individual level.
"Do you have collections of extraordinary methods from other civilizations?"
Chen Feng asked curiously, hoping to see records in this area and integrate them into martial arts.
"There are, but unfortunately, I don’t remember."
She shrugged, her tone helpless.
The lack of a database is like a person losing their memory, unable to recall corresponding information.
Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful but didn’t ask further.
The military flying device in the distance finally approached, and a communication link was initiated.
Buzz!
Soon, Chen Feng connected the communication, learning of the misunderstanding.
He briefly explained the situation, then moved his body, approaching slowly under the silent gaze of the military.
Sizzle! Clack!
The hatch of the flying device opened high in the sky, and Chen Feng was not surprised by this situation.
This was because the other party was here to investigate the situation and also to pick him up.
The reason being the cooperation invitation that Xia Mingyuan proposed yesterday.
Since the Lute family wanted to intervene in his arranged duel with Liu Duanyun, he naturally couldn’t ignore it.
Moreover, after Xia Mingyuan’s later explanation,
he finally understood why the other party knew about Liu Duanyun’s secret contact with the Lute family.
Immediately, stepping out, treading in the void, he smoothly walked into the hatch.
Fully armed military personnel respectfully saluted, and Han Chao, sitting furthest inside, still had remnants of his earlier shock in his eyes.
"Let’s go."
Chen Feng spoke softly, sitting by the window without unnecessary words.
Whoosh!!
Without further delay, the airstream pierced through the air.
The flying device disappeared into the clouds, quickly vanishing under the refraction of light.
Below, in the Flame Tiger Mountain Gate, the elite figures from various schools of the Martial Arts Alliance were still in shock, looking up for a long time without recovering.
Amongst the curious discussions, most were on related topics.
But strangely, no one mentioned the Holy Sect.
It was as if no one knew there would be a shocking martial arts duel today.
....
"Master Chen is very low-key and hasn’t announced this matter openly."
"I guess not many people know the duel location is near the Huai River...."
The silver-gray flying device headed south, passing through bustling cities.
A grey-haired grandmaster spoke in a low voice in the cabin, while Liu Duanyun, sitting by the window, still wore his white ancient robe, showing little expression.
He had been unusually silent along this journey, and everyone assumed he was preparing for the imminent battle, raising no suspicion.
Only Zhang Hengshan knew some inside information, and he also sat by the window, asking solemnly.
"How confident are you?"
As he spoke, Zhou Wuren and several others accompanying him closed their mouths, holding their breath with rapt attention.
Everyone knew Master Chen’s prowess, comparable to a first-phase Legendary Flying General, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Even though some among them had harbored a bit of luck before setting off, they couldn’t help feeling a mix of curiosity and anticipation at this moment.
"Fifty percent."
Liu Duanyun said calmly, his broad and resolute face exuding a majestic stability.
Fifty percent?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuren’s eyes flickered, vaguely sensing something was amiss.
But Liu Duanyun’s disciples and several elder grandmasters’ faces were shocked, their expressions elated.
Could Liu Kuisou really have a fifty percent chance of defeating Master Chen?
If that’s true, does it mean he has caught up with the most powerful martial artist renowned in Chi Country, perhaps even the entire Earth Star?
"Then why are we still joining the Martial Arts Alliance?"
The grey-haired grandmaster, who spoke earlier, couldn’t help but ask. He had always been opposed to this.
Now that Liu Kuisou could match Master Chen, why still depend on others for shelter and condescension?
However, there was no response.
Liu Duanyun glanced at him, and Zhang Hengshan also looked at him from the side.
"What... is there a problem?"
The grey-haired grandmaster was puzzled but then saw Zhang Hengshan shaking his head.
"Old Guan, you are also an elder in our Holy Sect, of my generation."
"I remember the year I reached the Extreme Realm, you were already an elder; it’s been nearly thirty years now, hasn’t it?"
He sighed, looking out the window.
The flying device was now in the northern part of Nanjiang, near the suburbs.
A wide river snaked southward through the Green Wilderness, resembling a curled dragon.
And a few hundred meters from the river, on the left bank, stood a low hill with rocky cliffs.
"What do you mean?"
Master Old Guan frowned slightly, a trace of unnaturalness flashing in his eyes.
"Nothing."
"Just lamenting that in forty years, I haven’t been able to see through you completely."
Zhang Hengshan shook his head as he spoke, and Master Old Guan’s face stiffened.
Zhou Wuren and the others finally sensed something amiss, becoming puzzled and vigilant, moving closer.
"Hengshan, what do you mean by this?"
Master Old Guan was furious, hurriedly defending and questioning, looking to Liu Kuisou in the process.
But the latter merely closed his eyes without speaking.
As for Zhang Hengshan, he met Gao Min’s gaze for a moment and then pointed outside the window.
A low mountain stood beneath the clouds, dense with trees.
"White Cloud Mountain... There used to be an underground base of Utopia here, later annihilated and abandoned."
"The southern route is arranged by you, and it’s the quickest way to Huai River from here... If I were someone from the Lute family, I’d also hide here."
With his words, Old Guan’s expression changed dramatically.
Amidst a furious shout, he quickly unleashed his strength, attempting to resist and struggle.
Simultaneously, as if realizing that the plan had been exposed,
White Cloud Mountain below suddenly shook, and the rocky cliff split open.
The remnants of walls and a figure could be vaguely seen inside.
Suddenly, darkness fell over the sky.
The air distorted, and the earth trembled.
An intense energy beam shot out, instantly engulfing the flying device!
