Chapter 491: Chapter 135: Memory

After pulling off Sky Wisdom’s head, Xiang Shan took a few more steps and also removed the head of Sky Prison Star.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kiambang stepped forward and helped Black Hand Master to his feet, asking, "Master, how are you feeling now?"

"A bit of a concussion... tsk, my prosthetic body lost quite a few parts." Black Hand Master looked annoyed. "I’ve also dropped a bunch of equipment. Thankfully, I have a separate vehicle."

Kiambang asked, "Does your vehicle have a spare prosthetic body? Do you need our help to retrieve it?"

Black Hand Master hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, saying, "No rush, it’s not advisable to divide our forces now. This place is swarming with powerful members of the Green Forest, and there are quite a few from the Heavenly Gang Tier, that Nameless Hero—is it the Nameless Hero, right?"

The hero appearing here was strong, and Black Hand Master had never seen him before. This basically confirmed the newcomer’s identity.

Kiambang nodded his head.

"The Nameless Hero is strong, but a single martial artist, no matter how strong, can’t protect everyone. Dividing our forces now would only increase our risk. We’ll have to wait for the Nameless Hero’s decision," Black Hand Master added.

Before they had exchanged a few words, Xiang Shan had already dealt with the head of Sky Prison Star. The heads of Sky Prison Star and Sky Wisdom Star collided like two basketballs in a net, which Xiang Shan slung on his back, hooked by a wire with his fingers.

In his other hand, he held the storage devices of the two men.

Xiang Shan asked, "Black Hand Master, how are you feeling now? Do you still have the strength to fight?"

"Sniping..." Black Hand Master thought for a moment and replied, "Relying on a multitude of drones for assistance and super long-distance calculations of air movement for sniping is not feasible anymore. But attacking within a few hundred meters is still doable."

"That’s good," Xiang Shan nodded, "I’ll search these brains for some intelligence, and then we can continue our assault and crush these Green Forest foes."

Black Hand Master nodded in agreement but pointed out a matter, "Nameless Hero, there’s one thing you might want to be wary of. According to the intelligence I overheard, this batch of Green Forest members is likely involved in some sort of deal with the local Scientific Knight Order. If we strike now, we might stir up a hornet’s nest."

Xiang Shan nodded his head in understanding; he knew what Black Hand Master was worried about.

The "Hermit of Heavenly Machine" was most likely the Heavenly Machine Star from the Tiger List Heavenly Gang, whose real name was unknown.

From the memories of those Green Forest members, it seemed that Heavenly Machine Star was behind the scenes pulling the strings, which is why they were here.

Being the notorious figure on the Tiger List, yet still listed as "Unknown" under "Name," indicated his Inner Strength was not insignificant. Of course, if forced to say, the limit won’t be too high. According to the memory of the Eighth Martial God, cultivating Inner Strength to a certain level required frequent online access and computing resources, which, on Earth, were easily traceable by King Aqini.

He guessed it was probably around Mechanical Realm? A relatively low rank within the Mechanical Realm?

But relative to the Earth’s environment, Heavenly Machine was no weakling.

If Heavenly Machine was killed, then those in the Secluded Crane Knight Order who had made deals with him would surely be on guard.

Xiang Shan lowered his head slightly, "I must apologize to the Arctic Heroes. There are many opportunities to acquire small fridges, and missing this one won’t matter. But Heavenly Machine and Sky Fierce pose a massive threat, and we must take this chance to eliminate them."

The Heroes of the Northern Land were here to help Xiang Shan obtain refrigeration equipment. They also hoped Xiang Shan could soon step into that realm and revive chivalry. Changing the plan at this point, it was right to give them a heads-up.

Black Hand Master nodded, "No problem. We came here to assist the Nameless Hero. Rather, this is more in the spirit of chivalry."

Xiang Shan nodded, found a recess in the cliff, and pulled out a blast-proof shield from behind him to place in front of himself, securing his head. After ensuring he would not be sniped immediately, Xiang Shan entered a state of meditation, accessing the newly acquired storage devices.

There wasn’t much to say about martial arts. Due to Martial Ancestor’s open-policy strategy, most martial arts manuals could be downloaded online. As for personal enlightenment... Sky Wisdom Star had simply taken a crooked path, relying on the performance of the prosthetic body and totally disregarding stance in combat which lacked technical content. Xiang Shan couldn’t understand how this guy lived to become a Heavenly Gang Star. Perhaps it was just good luck. The Spear Fight Technique of Gale Bright-Moon, used by Sky Prison Star, did allow Xiang Shan to absorb a bit of modern martial arts experience. But that was it. The martial arts of Heavenly Ingenious Star were of the same type as the Borshu, which Xiang Shan had experienced enough of three years ago.

As for Champion Earth... it was clear he focused on Internal martial arts. However, the objective part of the Path of Inner Strength was based on mathematics and machinery, very factual. The subjective part was all about "personal experience" connected to programming, very personalized. It was already difficult to document experiences of Internal martial arts.

Even if it truly could be documented, it wouldn’t surpass the legacy of the Eighth Martial God or the curses of TX-0.

That was also why Xiang Shan would directly burn the "Spirit Knicks" storage device of Wine God. To avoid all mishaps, this had to be prioritized.

Xiang Shan quickly shifted to the memories of these individuals.

First was their most recent memories.

Similar to the memories of the two Fiend Earth he had fought earlier, according to their most recent memories, these Green Forest members had come by sea from the Old Continent. According to them, they planned to conduct some cultural activities related to team building here. Heavenly Machine Star intended to use this method to instill a sense of "we are one collective" among all the participating Green Forest members.

Meanwhile, the Green Forest members also planned to set up a private server here and pull a private network that didn’t go through satellite networks.

This was an important ceremony.

Independent Green Forest members like Sky Prison and Sky Wisdom actually had their doubts about this choice.

This area was in the heartland of the Secluded Crane Knight Order’s territory, very close to the stationed site of the Secluded Crane Knight Order. Additionally, the surrounding area had a high population density, making it a region under heavy surveillance by the Protector. Opting to build a server here posed great risks and could easily be discovered.

But out of loyalty, and because of the Ultimate Way Consensus Therapy, although they were doubtful, they still felt that "Heavenly Machine would never harm us," so they came here with their suspicions.

And the location of the server maintenance base was just a bit further north.

As for the individual memories,

Sky Prison Star’s memory still held very old cliches—love, betrayal, and such. Sky Wisdom Star’s memory was much simpler. This guy just had a penchant for violence. Originally an athlete, after he couldn’t control his force during a match and killed someone, stripping him of his competition credentials, he became a Green Forest member.

Spirit Knicks of Wine God had followed the Green Forest in his town as a teenager just to fill his stomach.

All three of these guys had chosen to become Green Forest members willingly.

Undoubtedly deserving to die.

Only the memories of Suzuki Swift caught Xiang Shan’s attention for a second look.
