This was the first ti Wang Qi had witnessed such a scene.
About eighteen Flying Swords, each emanating different glows, were dispatched in three batches towards the backyard. The first batch consisted of four Flying Swords wrapped in white brilliance, which from the characteristics of their mana appeared to be from the sa sect and crafted using the sa technique, most likely mass-produced items. The second batch had only one, lacking a conspicuous mana glow, but Wang Qi could sense the presence of the Wanfa Sect on it. The last batch of more than ten Flying Swords was more mixed in terms of quality and glow, and the auras they emitted were various.
As the Flying Swords landed, Wang Qi felt the ground tremble slightly. He vaulted directly out of the window, drawing his sword as he asked, "Chen Feng, just who have you offended?"
"Ah? What?" Chen Feng's calm voice quickly turned into a cry of distress, "Don't shake... Damn it! The surface structure of this brain has been damaged. Little Liu, it's not easy for to raise a few rats..."
At this mont, five or six Flying Swords soared through the sky. Wang Qi urged, "Forget the rats already! Soone is attacking your yard!"
Chen Feng then said, "Hold on, hold on— you guys, co here. The life of Empirical Beasts must be respected, not to be wasted or desecrated. Liu Zi, co here and extract the soul for processing for the next set of empirical evidence. Little Liu, stop doing that and go prepare the Spirit Stabilizing Agent, do you know the formula for the Gao Clan's Black Silver Armor-type Solution?— Here it cos!"
After giving instructions for matters in the Empirical Departnt, Chen Feng erged from the East Wing. As he stepped out, a bright red Flying Sword whizzed over his head and crashed into the backyard. Chen Feng held his forehead, "Little brother, do you think a Flying Sword that flies this slowly is any good for combat?"
"Ah?" Wang Qi then realized that the speed of the Flying Swords he had just seen was indeed unreasonable.
The greatest advantage of a Flying Sword over a swordsman is that it operates independent of the physical constraints of the human body, allowing for faster movents and performing Sword Moves that would otherwise be impossible. However, once the sword leaves the palm, replenishing its mana becos a challenge, and its power is sowhat diminished compared to direct combat with a sword.
Due to the reduced power, Flying Swords cannot afford to slow down.
The Flying Swords just now could have been easily dodged by a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator, and were absolutely unusable in combat.
Chen Feng shook his head, explaining, "This thing is an upgraded version of the Communication Magic Sword, equipped with a very small Storage Space, used for transporting small, lightweight items."
Courier service?
"Does this... make sense?" Wang Qi found it sowhat inconceivable. Even if a Flying Sword was slower and weaker, it still had lethal potential. Have you ever seen a delivery company on Earth use small missiles for shipping? Compared to that, manual delivery seems safer and more flexible!
"It's mainly for long-distance, small items," Chen Feng explained. "Having a person make a trip for such a small item isn't worth it, but sotis the items are urgently needed and can't be sent along with the postal service. Plus, there should be a Guiding Array in the backyard, and the Flying Swords will only land within that array."
Wang Qi questioned, "I've never seen you use this before?"
"The reagents for my experints can't withstand shaking, and Empirical Beasts can't be cooped up in Storage Spaces for long periods, so I didn't use it before," Chen Feng explained. "It's only been set up in the last few days—but it's indeed quick."
"Really quick?"
Chen Feng walked towards the backyard, signaling Wang Qi to follow and said, "Haven't I ntioned it before? I have other Cooperators."
Wang Qi asked curiously, "Newcors? Who are they? From Yangshen Pavilion or Spirit Beast Mountain?"
"No, from Wanfa Sect."
Wang Qi wondered, "Will you have a large volu of empirical research in the future? Or does your path require a high demand for Mathematics?"
This guy should be aware of my strength, even if his Mathematics is so bad he can't understand my thesis, the Master of Calculation's comnts should be known, right?
"I am not doubting your strength," Chen Feng said with a smile, waving his hand. "My research is split into two main threads, one of which has several sub-projects. It's quite extensive, and the existing Mathematics struggles to break through in this area, so I need Geniuses to help—a lot of Geniuses."
As they spoke, the two had entered the backyard. The backyard was sowhat smaller than the front yard, with an additional row of side rooms. In one corner of the yard was a crude Array, filled with Flying Swords. A girl in white was carefully removing a white Flying Sword.
Chen Feng greeted her with surprising familiarity, "Youjia, what did you buy?"
The girl turned calmly, wiped her red long sword, and took out a red lacquered lunchbox, "Lunch… Huh?"
When she saw Wang Qi, she hesitated for a mont.
Wang Qi was also shocked, as the girl in front of him, with her delicate features and cool deanor, was the sa one who had bumped into his rooftop a few days ago.
The girl's surprise lasted only a mont; then she seed to co to an understanding. The day they had crossed chopsticks in a swordfight, they had gained a certain understanding of each other's abilities. It seed natural to her that Chen Feng had found Wang Qi for so data processing work.
Chen Feng, perceptive to the oddity between them, curiously asked, "You know each other?"
"Oh, before…" "We've t."
It seed the girl thought it inappropriate to take an Outer Disciple's food, as she blocked Wang Qi's words with a short reply, casting a glance his way.
Damn… such a strong presence…
"Right, you both are from Wanfa Sect," Chen Feng didn't think much more of it and continued to ask the girl, "The house has just been refurbished, and I haven't acquired any ho electronics yet."
"I thought you gave the keys so I could move in quickly, so I went ahead and bought so," the girl responded indifferently, pointing to the Flying Swords plunged into the ground, "Also, I had a fellow sect mber from Wanfa Sect bring my things over."
"No need to rush."
"It's mainly because I don't have much silver on ," the girl honestly admitted her financial situation, "The inn is run by ordinary people. They won't accept Spiritual Energy as paynt, nor do they accept rit."
Chen Feng held his forehead, "Ahaha, that's quite persuasive… Shall I help set up later?"
"Your help with a girl's belongings might be inappropriate," the girl rejected Chen Feng's offer, shaking her lunchbox, "Let's prioritize eating. I didn't buy just for one; co join . And the junior brother over there, you co too; consider it repaying what I owe from last ti. What's your na?"
Wang Qi ca over with a cheeky smile, "Wang Qi."
"I'll rember that," the girl nodded, "Among the Outer Disciples, you are definitely the strongest."
"No, no, no, you've got it wrong, Youjia, Wang Qi isn't an Outer Disciple," Chen Feng walked over to make introductions, "This is Wang Qi, just like you, a True Inheritor of Wanfa Sect."
The girl tilted her head, recalling for a mont, then said seriously, "I rember all the True Inheritors of Wanfa Sect, but I don't recognize you. Did you join this year?"
"Yeah."
"Banished Immortal?"
Wang Qi's face instantly fell, "Let's not bring that up; we can still be friends."
Chen Feng continued, "This is Chen Youjia, graduated the sa year as from Leiyang Immortal Institute. Back then, she ranked second and I ranked first…"
"Wait a minute… It feels like the na 'Chen Youjia' doesn't quite fit," Wang Qi suddenly looked suspicious, "Am I overthinking this? What's the Sect Leader Master Chen's wife's surna?"
