Chapter 125: Didn’t expect this, did you? I have another one!
The blinding beam of light struck down, who knows how many times. The first shot hit one of the creatures directly in the head. Even a Third Realm giant beast couldn’t withstand such firepower and instantly disintegrated.
The other two, however, burrowed deep into the ground.
“Jin Yi, give me the coordinates.” Shen Xing lost his perception for a moment, but luckily, Jin Yi was there. He switched to the squad channel immediately.
Her cultivation technique was indeed unique in terms of perception. It wasn’t just about the strength of her Divine Soul, but also contained some kind of profound mystery.
Just like Dragon’s Might.
Even though the main cannon needed time to recharge, under Nangong Jin Yi’s precise coordinates, three more shots were fired in succession, each hitting their targets accurately.
“They’re all taken care of,” Nangong Jin Yi promptly reported on the public channel.
Suddenly, cheers erupted in the communication channel.
Even the few who had managed to escape were equally incredulous.
Providing long-range fire support from high altitude was not easy. Affected by spatial distortions and violent Yuan Qi, the targeting system’s accuracy was low, and it heavily relied on ground-based locking.
However, the one controlling the fighter jet was just a Marrow Tempering Stage student.
Yet, he managed to take down three Third Realm giant beasts with just four shots?
“Impressive!” A gruff voice was the most prominent in the public channel. “As expected of our Human Federation’s top prodigy, truly impressive.”
Shen Xing remained silent.
He stopped where he was, because right in front of him, a Third Realm expert, along with more than a dozen Second Realm individuals, had arrived. They brazenly released their aura, covering the entire battlefield, instantly reassuring all the students.
In their eyes, with a Third Realm expert here, they were obviously safe.
“Very impressive,” a calm voice said in the public channel. “To have such skill at the Marrow Tempering Stage, you’re no ordinary talent. You must be a freshman this year, one of the top prodigies among the freshmen!”
These words were naturally directed at Shen Xing.
“That’s right,” Shen Xing said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, the entire public channel burst into an uproar.
“Freshman? The squad leader is a freshman?”
“My god! A freshman is this powerful?”
“He’s actually a junior!”
“So strong!”
“Hahaha, I knew it! How could someone kill a Second Realm giant beast at the Marrow Tempering Stage if they weren’t a top prodigy!”
“Captain didn’t just kill them, he instantly killed them! I saw it with my own eyes!”
“…”
Clearly, during the past few hours of combat, this team of over four hundred people had developed a deep impression of Shen Xing, their “captain.”
Not only because Shen Xing possessed a fighter jet.
But also because Shen Xing, with his Marrow Tempering Stage cultivation, had displayed terrifying strength and resources.
And now, hearing that he was just a freshman, the shock was indescribable.
A prodigy who could achieve this level was easily among the top fifty, or even higher, on the entire Academy Home Planet, truly overlooking an entire generation!
Clearly, Shen Xing had left an unforgettable mark on these hundreds of people.
And this Third Realm expert in front of them seemed to also greatly appreciate Shen Xing.
“Come to my side. The danger hasn’t passed yet. From now on, I will personally protect you,” the Third Realm expert said.
“Alright,” Shen Xing replied.
The next moment, a beam of light descended from the sky, striking the Third Realm expert with a deafening boom.
This sudden turn of events silenced the entire channel.
Everyone’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to comprehend or imagine what had just happened.
Where did that attack come from?
But Shen Xing’s cold laughter rang out at this moment. He had already leaped backward.
“Trying to trick me? We have a direct descendant of the Nangong family in our team!”
“Cough, cough, I see,” a hoarse voice came from the channel. “Water Moon Mirror, is it?”
Clearly, the fighter jet’s cannon fire was enough to kill a Third Realm giant beast, but not a Third Realm human expert wearing armor!
But even so, this kind of attack could still injure the opponent!
From the moment these people approached, Nangong Jin Yi had warned him in the private channel that they all harbored malicious intent.
They were not rescue forces from the Federation military, but members of an anti-Federation organization trying to stir up trouble.
Clearly, Shen Xing’s continuous firing and gathering of a large group of people had attracted their attention.
And at this moment, the others in the public channel had also realized what was happening.
“They’re from an anti-Federation organization!”
“Water Moon Mirror, a secret technique of the Nangong family. It’s said to be able to sense malicious intent.”
“Everyone, be alert!”
“Was this whole incident caused by you people?”
“…”
Suddenly, the Innate Realm experts were all furious, but the students were once again thrown into chaos.
The Third Realm expert who arrived was actually from an anti-Federation organization?
“Hehe, we, the Open Society, are doing this for your own good,” the Third Realm expert’s voice came again. “The other world should belong to everyone! Not just—”
Boom—!
Another shot, a direct hit.
◈◈◈
Shen Xing had no intention of listening to the opponent’s nonsense. One of his two fighter jets was indeed out of energy for the main cannon, but he had another fully charged one!
If it weren’t for the main cannon’s recharge time, he would have unleashed all his firepower at once.
He was confident he could take down a mere Third Realm expert.
And this aggressive action clearly enraged the anti-Federation Third Realm expert.
“You think you can defeat me with just a fighter jet? You have no idea what the Spirit Condensing Realm entails!” A surge of powerful Yuan Power erupted, and a phantom image of a giant bear flashing with lightning manifested behind him.
Thunder Bear! A Third Realm, high-grade, body-type Martial Path Intent!
“Damn it! Did this guy pay the copyright fee?” Shen Xing couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Direct confrontation was out of the question. Forget about this Third Realm expert, Shen Xing had no intention of fighting even the Second Realm anti-Federation members himself.
“Students, fall back! Innate Realm experts, deal with those Innate Realm ones. Leave this Third Realm expert to the fighter jets!” Shen Xing immediately ordered, rapidly retreating himself, even leaving Nangong Jin Yi and the others behind.
He knew very well that he was their primary target.
As expected, the Third Realm expert ignored everyone else, his powerful Divine Soul locking onto Shen Xing alone.
“Taking you down will be enough to make my Open Society’s name resound throughout the entire Academy Home Planet!” He let out a roar that seemed to belong to a bear. His armor expanded, transforming into the shape of a three-meter-tall giant bear as he charged directly at Shen Xing.
His speed was incredibly fast!
But at this moment, a series of intense cannon fire bombarded his armor, creating ripples on the energy shield.
Two H-24 transforming fighter jets, with their terrifying speed, swooped down from the sky. Even though the main cannon needed time to recharge, the secondary cannons did not. Closing the distance, the fire control system was more than capable of locking onto this single enemy.
“Didn’t expect this, did you? I have another one!” Shen Xing sneered.
Everyone else was shocked.
Especially this Third Realm expert from the anti-Federation organization.
Before coming, he had clearly heard Shen Xing say in the public channel that he had used up all his main cannon shots.
Not only did he get hit twice, but there were also two fighter jets!
He had been hiding this trump card all along!
“Hahaha!” The others in the channel laughed. The gruff voice said, “Everyone, it’s time to get rich! Taking down an anti-Federation Innate Realm expert is worth at least two hundred thousand military merit points!”
“Kill! I’ve got a belly full of anger!”
“Who do these people think they are, opposing the Federation?”
“It’s just free military merit points!”
“Leave this one to me, I’ll take him down!”
“The Federation army is on its way, brothers. Don’t let these military merit points escape!”
“…”
Clearly, Shen Xing’s sudden reveal of a second fighter jet had greatly boosted the morale of his side, including Nangong Jin Yi and the others.
They also had no idea that their captain had been hiding this up his sleeve.
But little did they know, this second fighter jet was originally intended by Shen Xing to be taken to the other world.
“It’s quite a coincidence,” he thought. He wasn’t too worried at the moment. If things got really bad, he could just escape to a hidden location and instantly teleport back to the other world. He would be fine.
However, at this moment, he wanted to test the result of fighter jets battling a Third Realm expert.
Even a Third Realm expert wearing armor!
And now he saw it.
Under the automatic control of the program, the two transforming fighter jets were relentlessly firing at the Third Realm expert. Even with an energy shield, their superior speed and continuous firepower meant that, for the time being, the Third Realm expert could only defend.
It was obvious that his armor’s energy was rapidly depleting!
“Damn it!” The man roared again, his speed and aura suddenly skyrocketing. He ignored everything else and charged straight at Shen Xing.
He had clearly activated some powerful Martial Path Intent.
He couldn’t stand being toyed with by a mere Body Tempering Stage freshman!
However, with a boom, the main cannon hit him again. The intense heat disrupted his charge, even turning his armor red-hot. He couldn’t help but scream in pain.
With the armor’s energy decreasing, its defensive capabilities naturally weakened.
Moreover, the fighter jet’s main cannon attacks on him were all at full power.
Seeing Shen Xing getting further and further away, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to accept the reality—under the siege of two fighter jets, he couldn’t deal with this weak ant!
And when his armor’s energy was depleted, he himself would be in danger!
“Retreat! Retreat!”
The Third Realm expert’s unwilling voice rang out.
Nobody was a fool.
When things were impossible, they wouldn’t force it.
But he had one last trick! He opened his armor and took out a sphere about thirty centimeters in diameter.
He activated it directly!
“I can’t take down the top prodigy, but none of the rest of you will survive!”
The moment this thing was activated, even Shen Xing, who was nearly ten kilometers away, abruptly turned his head.
He could clearly feel the spatial vibrations.
It was a force very similar to “Space,” yet seemingly completely different!
Extremely violent!
