"What’s the situation now?"
Yan Luo returned to the Forbidden Demon Abyss and imdiately inquired about the current situation from the Hunters watching the soldiers busy.
The Hunter questioned by Yan Luo grinned, "What else could it be? Of course, we’ve found the whereabouts of the Master of the Abyss! Once we take that thing down, we can return early and stop staying in this wretched place!"
The items produced by the demons of the Forbidden Demon Abyss don’t fetch a high price. Although many Hunters ca for the Saint’s Blood and the rewards offered by the Lingquan City Governnt, they are Hunters, and exchanging their hunt for money is what they’re supposed to do.
Now, demon bone plates and demon at have flooded the market. If it weren’t for the Lingquan City Governnt continuously buying the Hunters’ catches, they wouldn’t be able to sell their goods.
Hunters from various exploration towns were eager to return ho and always wanted to leave this dump, but they all signed contracts, and if they violated them, they couldn’t afford the penalties even if they were sold off.
Because the price of Saint’s Blood is extrely high, only Yan Luo on Blue Star can produce it, and it’s not available for external supply.
What’s the aning of ’high price but no market’? What does ’priceless treasure’ an?
This is it!
"Yan Luo?"
Hearing soone call his na, Yan Luo turned his head and saw that it was Chen Shan.
Chen Shan ca over, wrapped his arm around Yan Luo’s shoulder, and pulled him aside to whisper, "You’re back just in ti. The commander has decided that you’ll be the main force in the upcoming strategy battle. However, this ti, the battle is complicated, and you might need to do so training in advance."
Yan Luo was puzzled, "Train what?"
"Flight," said Chen Shan solemnly.
Fli...ght?
Yan Luo softly murmured, "Does this an that the Master of the Abyss in the Forbidden Demon Abyss is a flying demon?"
Chen Shan nodded, "Most likely, according to the Hunter who discovered the Master of the Abyss, that demon is always surrounded by many different kinds of demons. As you know, demons can coexist but only with those of the sa kind. To have different kinds stay together without fighting, undoubtedly, that flying demon is the Master of the Abyss!"
If it were in other abysses, it might be that demon using a superpower to control other demons, but in the Forbidden Demon Abyss, undoubtedly, only ’Master of the Abyss’ fits this possibility.
Yan Luo asked again, "Has the city governnt discussed it?"
Even though Yan Luo could go ahead and eliminate the Master of the Abyss on his own, with his influence, he could gather help from many Hunters.
But if possible, Yan Luo still hoped that the city governnt could make a resolution soon—the resolution to annihilate the Forbidden Demon Abyss.
The current issue is how much help the Forbidden Demon Abyss is in researching the reasons for abyss formation.
This requires experts’ evaluation. If the evaluation passes, the city governnt might not support the action to destroy the Forbidden Demon Abyss.
Chen Shan sighed and shook his head, "Currently, it’s unclear. The city governnt committee has entered a closed-door eting process. After the eting ends, we can get the result. Until then, focus on training!"
Yan Luo nodded, activated his personal terminal, and contacted Command Base One to arrange a training ground for him.
Even though Yan Luo had said that his blood could enable those with extrely low magic power adaptability to beco ’Samurai’ and have abilities similar to his, nobody had signed up yet.
For modern society, soone like Yan Luo is indeed frightening. By comparison, Engravers are easier to control.
Yan Luo understood their approach but didn’t like it.
To him, it was crucial that Blue Star broke through the technology blockade as soon as possible, and nothing else should take precedence over this concern.
Currently, Blue Star is like having a Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, and no one knows when that dreaded weapon might fall.
Now that the technology developnt limit is blocked, can aliens use weaponry that restricts technology against Blue Star People? Yan Luo didn’t know; he just maintained a pessimistic view of everything, believing aliens might significantly harm the Blue Star Civilization.
Given that, focusing on power struggles seed foolish to Yan Luo.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Yan Luo redirected his attention to the task at hand.
Command Base One provided Yan Luo with a set of exoskeleton armor equipped with a propellant to support his airborne flight.
Yan Luo put on the exoskeleton and started the propellant following the instructor’s commands.
The instructor, holding the exoskeleton controller, was stunned by the values shown on the screen.
[Yan Luo, is your weight three hundred kilograms?]
Hearing the voice through the headset, Yan Luo nodded, "To be precise, it’s three hundred and eight kilograms."
What a hassle!
The instructor frowned.
The exoskeleton thrust unit was designed considering a normal human weight. If soone of normal weight wore this exoskeleton, they could fly flexibly in the air, but Yan Luo’s weight was too high. The propellant required a lot of effort to lift him off the ground, and to allow Yan Luo to fly flexibly in the air, both propulsion and power units would need to overload.
To Yan Luo, this was a very dangerous thing.
The instructor voiced his concerns to Yan Luo, allowing Yan Luo to decide whether to continue training.
If Yan Luo was unwilling, they could only alter the combat plan, changing the strategy battle’s battleground from air to ground.
Doing so would require significant military effort, given that the Master of the Abyss’s forbidden demon superpower is undoubtedly stronger than ordinary demons, potentially causing even a powerful Second Rank like Wu Zechuan to lose the ability to trigger an Engraving under its influence.
Yan Luo pondered for a mont and decided to continue training.
This was because his custom exoskeleton would be ready in a few days, and even if he needed to put it on and personally test it, engineers would adjust the exoskeleton according to his test results.
But by then, it would be too late to practice flying.
Therefore, Yan Luo believed he needed to learn how to use the propellant for aerial flight first so that he could bring his flying experience to his custom exoskeleton when it arrived.
Since Yan Luo himself insisted, the instructor stopped persuading him.
Yan Luo started the propellant, and the exoskeleton’s neural control interface aligned with his spine, the helt translating his thoughts into signals that were transmitted to the exoskeleton.
To control the exoskeleton, one must learn to restrain redundant thoughts. Otherwise, controlling the exoskeleton could lead to falling or causing the upper and lower body to move out of sync, effectively cutting oneself in half.
In the past, such incidents weren’t unheard of.
As for controlling the exoskeleton for flight, it required even more concentration.
Humans are naturally not equipped for flight, and ascending to high altitudes could elicit various thoughts due to acrophobia.
To overco this, restrain unnecessary thoughts and learn to fly.
Therefore, while Yan Luo was training for flight, an instructor had to watch over him, holding a controller that could forcibly take over the exoskeleton to prevent him from losing control during flight training.
But for Yan Luo, these weren’t issues.
He’s strong enough that even falling from a hundred ters wouldn’t injure him, much less kill him.
Moreover, he was adept at managing stray thoughts.
Thus, not long after Yan Luo started maneuvering the exoskeleton into the air, he learned how to perform maneuvers in flight.
On this basis, Yan Luo gradually increased his flying speed to adapt to the skills of controlling the exoskeleton in flight.
The observing instructor was amazed.
Yan Luo was the most talented person he’d ever seen among all the trainees.
Others needed at least half a day to learn how to control exoskeleton flight, just to familiarize themselves with sending correct signals to the propulsion unit.
But Yan Luo was different. He achieved growth from ’hovering’ to ’flying’ in just three minutes.
No wonder people often say Yan Luo is a ’born Hunter’; with his learning ability, he can excel in any field.
Before long, the instructor felt anxious and hastily warned Yan Luo, "You’ve just learned to fly, don’t fly so quickly!"
Because Yan Luo’s current speed was—
276Km/h!
