534: Chapter 178: No Man’s Land is much harder to break through than this 534: Chapter 178: No Man’s Land is much harder to break through than this This forged temporary certification could be exposed at any mont.
If one relied on “I’ve done a temporary certification” and acted recklessly, sooner or later there would be trouble.
It would be better to set a ti limit and have this fake certification automatically delete itself with the system refresh, leaving no trace.
From the feeling of having stealthily approached the Igni Seal and then retreating without incident, Xiang Shan judged that there were no Internal masters left in the city who could contend with him.
The strongest among them had most likely been killed by him.
Moreover, given the way they desperately defended the Igni Seal just now, they would definitely not seek help from King Aqini.
The mysterious Internal master who had co into contact with the Eighth Martial God eighty years ago probably could not log in for various reasons.
——How many sentry posts have beco re formalities…
Xiang Shan thought to himself.
It was different from when he infiltrated the iyii Building.
At that ti, he had acquired the mories of a noble Scientific Knight Apprentice, entered through a secret passage, and the Prosthetic Body he used was not as conspicuous as it was now.
But back then, he did not have the Inner Strength he possessed now.
If there were sentry posts every few steps and each post used multiple authentication thods, including manual ones, he probably would have had to resort to various Forbidden Techniques.
But the fire at the repair shop had indeed caused so chaos.
And his actions had been too natural.
Although so soldiers felt that the Prosthetic Body he wore did not match well top to bottom, unlike the governnt’s standardized bodies full of design sense, with many “compromises.”
But after passing the friend-or-foe authentication, they did not probe further.
After all, the mysterious fire at the repair shop was the major concern.
Xiang Shan walked step by step towards the central building of Secluded Crane City.
Xiang Shan couldn’t help but feel, it’s no wonder that back in the day, the Eighth Martial God’s reach extended throughout the various Scientific Knight Orders across the New Continent, able to gather various research materials and develop such exceptional Internal skills.
If it wasn’t for King Aqini truly daring to use an EMP to scour the area, there probably would have been even more “convenient doors” available for his use today.
[Speaking of which…
didn’t the Eighth Martial God hack into the Secluded Crane Knight Order back then?]
[He did hack them.] Eight delved deeper into his own mories, [But there are no relevant records.
And the current leader of the Secluded Crane Knight Order is not the sa person from eighty years ago.
Maybe the Secluded Crane Knight Order only pledged allegiance to the Six Dragons Sect within these eighty years.]
Due to the Iron Heart Dharma King, the Eighth Martial God had also noticed the huge force lurking within the governnt.
But the Eighth Martial God did not find a connection between the Secluded Crane Knight Order of the ti and the “Mystery force.”
[That’s true.
Eighty years are indeed filled with too many variables.] Native thought to himself.
According to public records, the Knight Commander of the Secluded Crane Knight Order from eighty years ago got promoted fifty years ago to the Knight Commander of the Galapagos Sanctuary.
Among his three Vice Captains, one followed him to the Galapagos Sanctuary and now holds the title of Yangtze Knight, another obtained the qualifications on his own and established another Order of Knights.
The last Vice Captain, after serving as Knight Commander for twenty years, received the honor of Royal Knight and successfully retired, currently residing on Mars.
The title of Royal Knight, akin to a “Lifeti Achievent Award,” is only granted to venerable knights of distinguished service.
And those Scientific Knights who receive this award often reach an age of cognitive rigidity, and even gene therapy reversing the lifespan of nerve cells can hardly change well-established neural networks.
To put it simply, they were approaching “the limits of human cognitive abilities.”
The highest title for Royal Knights is “Nine Great Heroes,” which encompasses “Three Fundantals,” “Three Applications,” and “Three Project Managents.” The honor of the Nine Great Heroes is reviewed only once a century, and to this day, there have only been two iterations.
This redundancy is typically reserved for retired Great Knight Commanders.
In the fifty years that followed, the current high-ranking mbers of the Secluded Crane Knight Order erged one after another.
“The current higher-ups of the Secluded Crane Knight Order are all highly suspicious,” Xiang Shan concluded.
He needed to find soone to ask.
Xiang Shan thought this as he approached the entrance of the Central Building.
The door seed to have a complex recognition chanism.
But it didn’t include manual recognition.
So, Xiang Shan, sidestepping slightly, just walked in.
A guard, who thought this individual with unusually developed upper limbs didn’t look like a mber of the Scientific Knight Order, approached to ask a few questions.
But Xiang Shan glared at him.
The guard didn’t show any abnormal response, he simply ca closer and seed to quietly ask sothing.
Then he gestured to his colleagues with a “no problem” sign and went back to his post.
Xiang Shan continued walking forward.
Of course, when they got close, Xiang Shan had taken other actions.
The guard would pull out a grenade and charge forward upon spotting an “enemy”.
He would hold the grenade at the sa level as his brain.
And, inevitably, sothing would go wrong, the grenade wouldn’t be thrown.
That way, his secret would not be easily revealed.
Xiang Shan continued walking forward.
As he approached the elevators, two knight apprentices of the Scientific Knight Order also felt sothing was amiss.
They ca over, wanting to stop Xiang Shan.
But by the ti they got to Xiang Shan, they had turned to eagerly bow slightly and continued to lead Xiang Shan forward.
Though Xiang Shan’s unusual physique attracted attention, the attitude of those two apprentices seed to explain everything.
And here, the mbers of the Scientific Knight Order seed to be used to “strange cybernetically enhanced people appearing inside the building,” and nobody ca up to ask any further questions.
Xiang Shan stood at the signpost, glanced at it: “Vice Captain’s office…
Vice Captain’s office.
Ah ha, pass the ‘Fossil Hall’ and up…”
…………………………….
anwhile, all of the soldiers working to put out the fire at the repair station received a command to quickly withdraw after extinguishing the fire.
Although the order was odd, the soldiers took obedience as their duty.
They also knew that so secrets of the higher-ups were absolutely not to be probed.
And the task of firefighting and evacuating had delayed Guardian Zhi for so ti.
Guardian Zhi, along with several expert mbers of the Six Dragons Sect, went in.
“What a tragedy.” Guardian Zhi saw the anomaly at a glance: “Everyone here was restrained in an instant.
There was no struggle.
They had lost the ability to move before they were burned to death.”
Guardian Zhi waved his hand: “Everyone, quickly collect evidence.
Hopefully, there are parts that haven’t been ruined by the water.”
The expert mbers of the Six Dragons Sect silently scattered, searching around.
What a terrifying opponent.
That’s what Guardian Zhi thought.
Perhaps, one would lose miserably the instant they made eye contact with him.
So, it was essential to kill him before he could use his Inner Strength.
