"Thank you, my lord!!"
On the two-masted sailboat, a burly figure knelt on one knee, full of gratitude.
Brown curls slightly damp, Chen Feng, through Perception, sensed the fluctuation in the other’s aura.
"Rise."
Nodding, Lei Long’s breakthrough was more smooth than he imagined.
With the help of Jia Ta’s ability to control water flow, he successfully completed the storm baptism and advanced to the Fourth Rank.
Then, after a brief understanding of the other’s strength, he turned his head to look at the sea.
"Sha!!"
Jia Ta made a sound from the seabed, as if cheering, wanting a reward.
After pondering for a mont, Chen Feng suppressed the thought of giving gold coins.
He took sothing out of his pocket, about ten centiters in size, entirely white and yellow, with tiny dark golden patterns entwining it.
It was surprisingly the extraordinary object, the Ocean Shell, obtained earlier from the rmaid Clan palace.
Its main effects can only be exerted in the ocean, and it must be held long-term to have a chance of accelerating the growth of marine organisms.
Thus, its defect arises, causing the holder to mutate in the direction of marine creatures.
So....
"Well done."
Splish!
He raised his hand and tossed it, throwing the Ocean Shell into the water.
The azure tentacle waiting for gold hesitated slightly, then curled up and took it away.
Before long, a cheering voice sounded from the seabed.
"Sha!!"
The excitent was recognizable to Chen Feng, who could hear the joy and satisfaction of the other.
The Ocean Shell was crafted by the rmaid Clan, naturally more suitable for marine life.
Moreover, Jia Ta was still in his growth phase and might grow faster because of it.
"I hope you can break through to the Sixth Order soon."
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Feng suppressed his distracting thoughts and signaled Lei Long and the others to sail away, returning to Hurricane Island.
He also gave Trin a few instructions, leaving behind two martial arts techniques.
"You must practice this Observation thod well, and diligently train in martial arts."
"If other sailors want to learn, you may teach them a little, but do not spread it too much."
Chen Feng reminded, seeing Trin as a promising talent worth watching and nurturing.
But the transmission of martial arts must be step-by-step, especially since the group was still wanted by the Steel Kingdom, it was not appropriate to attract too much attention, lest they reveal their identities.
"Yes, my lord!"
Trin nodded gratefully, knowing well that all his fortunes ca from the person in front of him, not daring to slack off or disobey in the slightest.
At the sa ti, he hoped that in the future, he might have the opportunity to beco a strong Sequencer like Lei Long.
Satisfied, Chen Feng then looked at Lei Long and inford him of a few nas.
They were from Bernard’s list, among them, two families’ fleets occasionally docked for supplies at Hurricane Island.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Lei Long nodded, his voice mighty, with more confidence than before.
After all, a Fourth-Order Sequencer was considered a formidable figure.
The group finished their conversation, knowing everything was arranged, Chen Feng took one last look at the fleet.
Without saying more, he leaped up, Blood Wings soaring into the sky.
Swish!!
With the shadows dispersing, he had vanished from the sea surface.
Lei Long and the others looked into the distance, the blue sky remained, clouds drifting in tranquility.
A seagull pierced through the sky, but at the horizon, no trace of the man in black was left.
.....
Swoosh!!
The flying car flashed by, white airwaves lingering mid-air.
The virtual waves scattered into electronic blue light, Chen Feng standing by the window withdrew his gaze, accustod to the differences between the dream realm and reality.
"Four days."
On Earth Star, four days had passed, and his visit to the Realm of the Dead indeed consud a lot of ti.
However, it was all worth it.
Buzz!!
In an instant, steel bones grew, a gigantic golden sphere two or three ters in diater enveloped him, isolating him from the outside like a round shield.
To the naked eye, it was difficult to penetrate the barrier, but through Perception, Chen Feng could clearly see all the scenes outside the Golden Shield.
The quiet room he was in had a special layout, at his request, besides the living environnt, there was also an adjacent training room.
Thus, besides the bed and tea table, there was also a room separated by a horizontal wooden door, containing all kinds of equipnt.
Including a Training Iron Man placed on the brown floor, seven or eight ters away from him.
Swoosh!!
In an instant, a hint of gold flashed like a bullet shooting out, bringing a howling sound.
In less than a second, with a poof sound.
The powerful impact transford into a stabbing spear attack, piercing effortlessly through the Iron Man’s solid torso instantly.
The golden spear tip appeared from the back of the Iron Man, separated from the wall by only a sliver of distance.
Upon closer inspection, it seed to have grown from that gigantic round shield, like a golden spike.
"From now on, this move shall be called Stabbing Spear."
Chen Feng quietly retracted his steel bones, clearly understanding the strength of that strike just now.
All the power condensed at one point, plus the impact bonus and that hardness beyond the ordinary.
It could be said that even a Star-level Vajra couldn’t completely defend against it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed.
His gaze remained calm, considering the cause and effect he had left behind.
"Yun ng Forest...."
Unfortunately, the inner and outer passages were blocked, making it difficult for him to act.
He didn’t know if there was a way to switch identities and infiltrate it.
.....
Buzz!!
The tail wave pierced the sky, near the blocked passage of the giant tal wall, countless flying cars and flying devices descended, docking one after another.
Noises arose, the lights of vigilance flashing around.
The huge wall stood like an indestructible gray-black giant, each of the individuals wearing Yun Gang Guard combat uniforms vigilant nearby.
So holding custom firearms, even shoulder cannons, or involving chanical Martial and Transford People.
Included were Chi General Guards and so military personnel, with solemn faces, stationed there, activating a high-order force field barrier to isolate the passage, completely cutting off the thought of many wanting to infiltrate.
"It’s been days, yet the blockade isn’t lifted?"
"Sothing’s wrong, seems like there’s sothing unusual about Yun ng Forest!"
"Could it be that a new high-order technology is truly about to erge?"
Under the high wall, within the area known as the small inner city.
Soone frowned slightly seeing such a scene, with similar expressions on the faces of those around.
They had rushed over as soon as they got the news, yet after waiting four to five days, they weren’t allowed inside.
"No wonder the people from Black Crystal Group and Sky Shipping have been in Yun ng Forest recently; seems they guessed this would happen earlier."
"It’s possible. Didn’t they go in ahead of ti? If they truly discover any new high-order technology, it would be a major accomplishnt..."
Various discussions arose, but soone quickly rebuked the voices.
"You really think it’s that simple? Didn’t you see those super giant enterprises also sent people?"
With these words spoken, everyone was taken aback.
They turned their heads to see several flying devices appear.
Chi Bo Energy, Shitong Express, Sky Do Group...
"Why have they co?"
"Heh, how would I know?"
"But if what happened in Nanjiang is true, I fear we too in Yun Gang will be coveted by others..."
.....
"Is it really impossible?"
That day, Chen Feng inquired about the latest situation in Yun Gang from Zhao ng of the Black Crystal Group.
The blockade was stricter than he imagined; no one from the outer city was allowed into the secret realm.
Moreover, the Inverted Pyramid’s unusual movents were so large, it attracted so powerful forces not from Feng Province.
"Super giant enterprises?"
Chen Feng was puzzled as this was the first ti he had heard this term.
"These were the first batch of super groups allied with the military during the Radiant Revolution to explore the secret realms together."
"Due to the special conditions at that ti, they enjoyed many special policies, had the privilege to retain so of the advanced resources from exploration, and shared certain technologies."
Zhao ng explained over the phone, and Chen Feng slightly frowned, roughly understanding the aning.
Special products of special periods, gaining the initial benefits of secret realm exploration.
"How do they compare to your Black Crystal Group?"
"Limited by the shorter excavation ti in Yun ng Forest and even stricter civilian control policies... we are at a disadvantage in so aspects."
Zhao ng spoke tactfully, and Chen Feng was silent for a mont.
If the Black Crystal Group acknowledges its inferiority, one can imagine the foundation and strength of these super giant enterprises.
He even suspected the reason the secret realm channels of Yun ng Forest were blocked, prohibiting any entry and exit.
Perhaps, it was the local forces in Yun Gang joining hands to prevent these super giant enterprises from finding excuses to enter the secret realm and seize what belonged to them.
"Are there any super giant enterprises within the Radiant Secret Realm?"
Chen Feng asked, his expression sowhat solemn.
If in the future, the Radiant Secret Realm truly were to migrate to Nanjiang, it would surely impact the current forces significantly.
Judging from the reaction of the forces in Yun Gang, even the City Association might be unable to control it.
"Yes."
Zhao ng nodded in the communication, ntioning several nas.
Chen Feng silently noted them down, nodding slightly.
After thanking Zhao ng, he prepared to hang up the phone.
"Master Chen, there’s sothing the boss asked to relay to you."
Zhao ng suddenly spoke up, causing Chen Feng to pause his action.
"Zhong Yan is not within the secret realm ruins."
"Perhaps she quietly left before the blockade of Yun ng Forest."
.....
Whoosh!!
A flying car ascended into the air, rging seamlessly with other flying cars in the air traffic control passage, quietly leaving Yun Gang.
An ordinary scene, hardly garnering attention on a regular day.
However.
"Do you know what you made miss this ti?"
A woman in a red jacket sat in the back seat of the flying car, looking about 23 or 24 years old, her face charming with a small mole under her fiery red lips.
Apart from that, upon careful observation.
One could see a corner of tallic patterns peeking out from the bionic skin behind her ear, a special mark belonging solely to fully transford individuals.
"Heh, it’s just the Inverted Pyramid’s abnormality."
"I didn’t go either, so what is there to miss?"
The voice of a young man ca from the communication module, indifferent, and Zhong Yan narrowed her eyes, quite displeased.
"Except for the initial Radiant Revolution, when did we easily obtain transformation technology during subsequent secret realm explorations?"
"The top wouldn’t allow new super giant enterprises to be born, even if this ti the Inverted Pyramid does reveal any high-order technology and resources, how would it relate much to us?"
He intentionally said, and Zhong Yan fell into a brief silence.
This was indeed the most concerning matter for large groups in Yun Gang and other secret realm central cities.
It was also the reason she agreed after much thought to the other party’s cooperation invitation, ultimately choosing to abandon her guard.
The Inverted Pyramid might not necessarily mutate; even if it does mutate, soone needs to take the risk and act as a scapegoat.
The cost is too high, not to ntion the nurous criticisms she faces within Sky Shipping, making it difficult to command other Fifth Order competencies.
"Have you prepared the things I need?"
She put aside miscellaneous thoughts, shifting the topic to what she cared about most.
"Naturally."
The young man on the other end of the phone nodded with a smile.
"However, you and I both know, I can only give you this reward after things are settled."
"Alright."
She nodded calmly, without further unnecessary words.
A resource for Fifth Order transformation—a position she shouldn’t have found herself in as a group director.
Yet...
Her gaze turned cold as she thought again of those two damned martial artists.
If not for them, she wouldn’t be so passive in the boardroom.
"Why didn’t you involve him in the matter as well?"
She pressed down her emotions and asked, the young man in a black-purple suit on the other end heard her and looked out at the Union Building with an amused smile.
"Even we sustained significant losses, why would I provoke him?"
Strong Fifth Order chanical martial arts weren’t opponents, let alone the Green Demon Team.
If truly involved in his and Lin Hao’s matter, it’s hard to say who would win.
Seeing this, Zhong Yan snorted coldly without further comnt.
The communication clicked and ended, and standing by the window, the young man’s smile receded, revealing mockery.
"Still planning to use my blade for killing?"
How could he not hear the true intention of the other’s words earlier?
He shook his head, no longer delving deeper, and imdiately turned to look at the several people in the office.
Fifth Order transford humans and chanical martial arts — the greatest support from his father’s position as a board mber.
And also loyal people he had barely trained by gathering various resources privately.
"Is everything arranged?"
He set down his smart communicator and asked, to which a burly person nodded in response.
"The ssage has already been sent out."
"Good."
He nodded with satisfaction, then sat back down on the plush black chair behind his desk.
Next.
Let the fish take the bait.
