In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 78

Chapter 78: A Whole New Level of Power

After all, space is inherently formless and intangible, difficult to perceive. Using it with low-quality martial intents would make one feel strange, but when used with this top-grade martial intent that pursues ultimate speed, it will only make people feel that his cultivation level in martial intent is even higher.

This also allows Shen Xing to use “space” with some confidence within the Human Federation.

However, space seems to lack specific levels like other martial intents.

Since obtaining this martial intent, Shen Xing has been taking the time to practice it and has been continuously improving. However, he has yet to feel any significant breakthroughs. Yet, judging solely by the magnitude of his progress, he has definitely crossed the threshold from beginner to major completion.

He can only continue to explore it slowly.

Just as Shen Xing finished another full day of cultivation and returned to his dormitory in the Human Federation, preparing for a few hours of deep sleep, he discovered intelligence data sent by Xiaoling.

It was extremely detailed.

Not only did it list the strength and names of all the core members of “Spiderweb,” but it also included the strength and names of some of the coerced martial artists. Furthermore, it listed a large number of weapon names and their specific quantities. The level of detail made Shen Xing somewhat suspicious that Xiaoling’s “friend” might be in charge of Spiderweb’s armory.

“These things, can they be this detailed?” Shen Xing asked.

“Yes, Spiderweb may have a resounding name, but they don’t have a well-established management system. They are essentially just a bunch of thugs,” Xiaoling replied quickly.

“Even so, it even includes the location of the armory.” Shen Xing suddenly felt that he might have been a little too cautious.

Xiaoling was right. These people were, in essence, just a bunch of thugs.

“Alright, after dealing with these thugs, I’ll choose a high-grade martial intent for you,” Shen Xing said generously.

His current total assets were close to three billion, and they were still growing at a rate of about six hundred million per day.

Let alone high-grade, even top-grade wouldn’t be a problem.

However, rewards should naturally have a gradient.

If he were to reward a top-grade martial intent now, what would he reward in the future?

Shen Xing wouldn’t make such a mistake.

Then, amidst Xiaoling’s expressions of gratitude, Shen Xing directly sent this information to Nangong Jin Yi.

“. . .”

After a long silence, a series of ellipses was the reply.

“Weren’t you supposed to be responsible only for combat?”

“I suddenly remembered a channel, so I looked it up casually, and I found it. I didn’t expect it to be so simple,” Shen Xing said, downplaying his achievement.

“Saying it like that makes me look useless.” A rare hint of annoyance appeared on Nangong Jin Yi’s face. After a long pause, she typed again, “How about I let you be the captain? You can get more military merit points that way.”

“Forget it, there’s no need to pass the temporary squad leader position back and forth,” Shen Xing said indifferently. “You’ve seen the equipment. These people have strong firepower, but fortunately, it’s just a lot of it, and there aren’t any highly dangerous weapons. I’ve prepared a set of wearable armor and two C-model PODs.”

“I also have armor and PODs,” Nangong Jin Yi replied, her tone turning serious as she added, “There are three models of PODs: A, B, and C, totaling twenty-five units.”

“Twenty-five units?” Shen Xing was startled.

Was she talking about the kind of POD that cost two hundred thousand military merit points and tens of millions of Federation currency?

Was this the firepower of a rich woman?

It was a bit too scary.

“Yes, is it too few?” Nangong Jin Yi typed seriously. “I also suddenly remembered a channel where I could buy PODs in bulk without using military merit points, so I bought some casually.”

“. . .”

Looking at this text, Shen Xing knew that she was retaliating against his earlier display of one-upmanship.

He was speechless for a moment, but after a while, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

This kind of behavior was quite uncharacteristic of Nangong Jin Yi.

However, she probably also felt that this kind of “tit-for-tat” retaliation didn’t fit the demeanor of a young lady from a prestigious family, as she quickly sent another message.

“Just kidding. Although there are many PODs, the other side also has electromagnetic pulse weapons and electronic intrusion devices. The POD firepower line can’t be sustained indefinitely. Ultimately, it will still come down to people to determine the outcome.”

“Yes, but with this kind of firepower, there’s no need to consider any tactics. We just need to rush their base directly while the firepower line maintains suppression,” Shen Xing replied.

He also felt a little sigh. If this number of PODs were taken to the other world, he would have the confidence to defeat a thousand-strong army of Organ Tempering experts head-on.

But here in the Human Federation, even when dealing with a group of armed thugs, he couldn’t say he was guaranteed to win.

Advanced weapon technology could indeed bring more value to the weak.

“I think so too. When the time comes, let me witness your strength,” Nangong Jin Yi smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

“Likewise,” Shen Xing replied.

He was indeed very curious about Nangong Jin Yi’s performance.

After defeating An Yiyi, Nangong Jin Yi was the strongest person he knew.

The tactics for dealing with armed forces were determined in this brief discussion between the two. The rest was simply a matter of coordinating with the other two and agreeing on a time.

Finally, they decided on Thursday.

According to intelligence, the leaders of Spiderweb seemed to have realized that the Disciplinary Department personnel were constantly monitoring them. They had been staying in their base, constantly reinforcing their firepower. Every Thursday, they would gather their core members to divide the spoils, making it the perfect opportunity to take them all down at once.

As for the safety of the students coerced and controlled by the nano-scale human control devices, there was no need to worry too much.

◈◈◈

The most dangerous control, the power to take lives, was still in the hands of that key armed faction.

Moreover, this was undoubtedly a “nuclear bomb.”

Once detonated, it would indeed cause heavy student casualties, but the armed faction itself would also be doomed, with no chance of even scavenging for scraps. Execution for all members would be the only outcome.

What the Disciplinary Department was doing now was to continuously erode the peripheral forces, find all the controlled students, and dismantle the “nuclear bomb” bit by bit.

“Thursday, huh?” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. “There are still four days. There should be a chance to bring Thunder Flash to minor completion. When the time comes…”

He lay down in the rest pod, which combined various functions such as deep sleep, Yuan Qi massage, and injury treatment. After resting for three hours, he woke up and teleported directly to the other world, once again beginning his arduous cultivation.

The entire training room was filled with flashes of lightning and the gleam of cold light.

As Shen Xing had expected, the realm of Flashing Blade indeed greatly aided the cultivation of Thunder Flash.

It didn’t even take four days. After just two more days, a total of three days, accompanied by a clear burst of lightning, Shen Xing’s Thunder Flash officially entered minor completion.

Combined with space, it could already unleash a power surpassing that of major completion.

This was a top-grade martial intent!

With the assistance of his body movement technique and the minor completion realm Dragon Elephant Body, it could be said that even if An Yiyi maintained her rapid growth, Shen Xing was confident that he could instantly kill her in a sparring match!

He felt that he had indeed entered a whole new level of power.

He just didn’t know if he had surpassed the level of those top prodigies.

Perhaps he could get an idea from Nangong Jin Yi’s performance.

Shen Xing’s anticipation for the operation in two days grew even stronger.

“There are still two days. I’ll strive to bring Phantom Body Movement Technique to minor completion as well!”

He switched to a set of specialized equipment for cultivating the Phantom Body Movement Technique, which was essentially a special type of load suit, and began practicing in the training room.

This feeling of rapidly growing stronger was deeply addictive.

However, although his talent in Phantom Body Movement Technique was also good, it was clearly not comparable to Dragon Elephant Body and Thunder Flash. After two days, he was still some distance away from minor completion.

But when combined with space, it could also exert the power of minor completion.

“It’s usable enough. Let’s go.”

He returned to the dormitory and picked up two large suitcases.

One contained two small PODs, and the other contained the armor that was worth nearly a million military merit points and nearly three hundred million Federation currency.

This armor had arrived only the day before yesterday.

Because it needed to be adjusted to fit his body type.

After receiving it, Shen Xing confirmed that it had no network connection capabilities and could only connect to a personal terminal. He then took it to the other world to try it out.

The feeling could be described in one word.

Awesome!

After putting it on, he experienced the joy of flying in the sky for the first time. The feeling of liberation from the shackles of gravity, of standing freely between heaven and earth, even increased his affinity for Phantom Body Movement Technique by a small margin.

It also gave him an irresistible urge to put on the armor and slash something.

Therefore, even before today’s operation began, Shen Xing’s fighting spirit was already quite fervent.

“I’m ready,” he sent a message to Nangong Jin Yi as he reached the downstairs of the dormitory building.

That’s right, no need to take the bus today. He had a rich woman driving him.

As soon as the message was sent, a light purple flying vehicle descended. Its size almost reached the limit of a private flying vehicle. It was even as large as a small bus. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a small spaceship.

The hatch opened, and Nangong Jin Yi, still dressed in a long gown, sat by the door.

The other person in the flying vehicle was a tall, elegant, short-haired girl.

She should be the helper Nangong Jin Yi brought.

However, as Shen Xing took two steps forward, his expression suddenly stiffened.

This girl looked somewhat familiar.

Before he could say anything, the girl also showed a puzzled expression, and then spoke first with a look of realization, “I remember now, aren’t you the junior who asked for my contact information that day?”

Suddenly, Shen Xing could clearly see Nangong Jin Yi’s already large eyes widen even further.

That’s right, this short-haired girl was the Disciplinary Department Senior Martial Sister that Shen Xing had used to “threaten” Xiaoling that day!

Even with Shen Xing’s thick skin, he felt a sense of social death at this moment.

Could the world be any smaller?

He just randomly picked a Disciplinary Department passerby Senior Martial Sister, and he could still run into her?
