Chapter 172: Chapter 106: The Back of Destiny’s Neck_2

This guy really doesn’t hold back.

However, this form explains a lot. It allows us to analyze Wang Zheng’s mindset, character traits, and his style of handling matters.

’Quite an interesting young man.’

Instructor Hei hummed an old soul-calming tune that had been passed down in the military, continuously tapping on the exceedingly complex control panel in front of him.

As a Second Generation Half-human Mecha, he had more to deal with than just the matters at hand.

The cargo began to shake constantly.

The transport convoy, following this half-aboveground, half-underground highway along the edge of the Sari Desert, was hurrying towards Fortress 82.

...

[Xiao Zhou (Eager to Learn): I just got word that Sector C of the fortress has been destroyed, the casualties are pretty severe. Are you guys alright?]

[Lingtong (Power Upgraded): I’m helping rescue the wounded, you guys talk.]

[Wang Zheng (Hiding in plain sight): Don’t worry about me, I’m outside ducking in and out.]

[Xiao Zhou: That’s good... Those damn Spiritual Ability Users, they really are heartless!]

[Wang Zheng: Didn’t they say they’re protesting now? The Judgement Team got wiped out except for the captives, it’s an unbearable loss for them too, don’t get too worked up, Zhou.]

[Xiao Zhou: They just can’t stand losing! A bunch of scumbags! Disgusting! I’m so angry I even feel like stealing my grandpa’s button!]

[Wang Zheng: Young man, stay calm.]

[Xiao Zhou: You talk as if you’re so much older than me, when you’re actually more than a decade younger!]

[Wang Zheng: Make sure my dorm over at Sector 76 is kept for me. I’m just out on an errand, but I’ll be heading back later to settle down and cultivate.]

Cultivation must be translated as "cultivation."

[Xiao Zhou: The dorm is the least of our worries, the studio has already started on the Summoning Thunder experiment. There’s war going on outside, and inside we’re rushing the work. The studio has been fitted with a self-destruct device, and the experimental data is only being synchronized with my grandpa’s logistics team.]

[Wang Zheng: If the experiment makes a breakthrough, try to get some honorary titles for Uncle Tai and Xiao Qi. Uncle Tai likes those empty honors. I don’t need them.]

[Xiao Zhou: Uh, you’re the lead technician, why don’t you need them?]

[Wang Zheng: Once the job’s done, I’ll be gone without a trace, keeping my contributions and name a secret.—That’s the state of being I aspire to.]

[Xiao Zhou: You’re really the cool-headed young man I admire. I’m going off to help with the remote resource scheduling. Another score to settle with the Spiritual Ability Users, we must find a chance to settle things with them!]

Wang Jixuan put away his communicator and looked up at Instructor Hei who was resting with his eyes closed, leaning against the cargo box wall.

Instructor Hei took the initiative to speak: "If there’s something, just say it. I’m letting my brain take turns resting."

"Nothing, I was just chatting with a friend," Wang Jixuan asked curiously, "Can brain sections really take turns resting?"

"It requires the assistance of a device."

Instructor Hei’s mechanical body began a self-check, and he opened his eyes to look at Wang Jixuan:

"Your energy seems to be ever-abundant, that’s quite miraculous?"

"I also took a nap just now."

— Referring to sitting posture cultivation.

Instructor Hei nodded and assessed Wang Jixuan’s figure from top to bottom.

"What’s up?"

"Spiritual Energy molecules are continuously infiltrating your body and being absorbed," Instructor Hei said, "It’s good that I discovered you first. If it were those old fogies in Spiritual Energy City, they would have gone to any length to take you away and dissect you for study."

Master Wang: ...

"Why?"

"They can’t solve a problem right now, which is that there’s obviously Spiritual Energy in the air, but they just can’t use it."

Instructor Hei grinned, the mechanical affect making him look a bit scary:

"Do you know how the original Level S Spiritual Ability Users were born? This is the highest secret among the Spiritual Ability Users."

"Huh?"

"Two Level A’s fighting, one dies, the other one who’s nearby absorbs part of that Spiritual Energy, with roughly a thirty percent conversion rate."

Instructor Hei curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders:

"The biggest secret in Spiritual Ability City is the research on the advancement of Spiritual Ability Users.

"They’ve been studying it for decades and still don’t have a clue, only positing the hypothesis of Spiritual Energy resonance.

"And then Spiritual Ability City began to madly engage in cloning experiments, similar to Wu Man, that boy you saved—he was a victim of the cloning experiments. And the clones of the Beast Speaker also had another function—to serve as nourishment for the Beast Speaker."

"Should a Level A clone of a Beast Speaker be born, once they fulfill a certain value, they will be devoured by the Beast Speaker using their instruments."

"The rebellion fifty years ago... was the attempt of six SS-class Spiritual Ability Users to control all of humanity. Essentially, they wanted enough material to birth enough Level A Spiritual Ability Users to draw power from them, aiming for what they considered the...

"Divine Realm."

Wang Jixuan’s mouth twitched viciously.

His family’s Demon Cult, the vast majority wouldn’t eat their own disciples! Even Demon Cults need successors!

"So, after our Commander chooses a successor, he would immediately press the button, ending those six old bastards and breaking the current structure of Spiritual Ability City."

Instructor Hei shook his head:

"Those six old bastards are also very clever. They quietly constructed a massive steel and concrete shield around their residence, approximately three hundred meters in diameter, extremely thick, to reduce the damage to Spiritual Ability City in the event of a nuclear bomb explosion."

Wang Jixuan’s expression was hard to read: "These old bastards actually have some conscience."

"Conscience? Hahaha! You’re really mistaken!"

Instructor Hei slapped his thigh and burst into laughter:

"They’re lowering our bargaining chips. As long as the nuclear bomb is detonated and Spiritual Ability City retains enough strength, they could launch a comprehensive retaliation against D5."

"Those six old bastards plus that button are like a dog leash."

"Otherwise, after we kill 2A2B and capture 1A3B, including Mane Bear and Wei Feng, it wouldn’t just be protests and this kind of vindictive retaliation from Spiritual Ability City."

"All the war zones are watching us."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Instructor Hei, can’t you be the Commander’s successor?"

"Actually, I could."

Instructor Hei’s expression was laced with helplessness:

"But, kid, I’m about to collapse, a collapse of self-consciousness. We must find a young person who can withstand the pressure of Spiritual Ability City, and in turn, restrain it, someone no older than fifty."

Wang Jixuan’s face showed realization.

That’s not an issue then.

If this Uncle Hei acted well in front of him later and won his favor, then he would craft a Soul Calming and Soul Stabilizing Magic Artifact for Uncle Hei.

Wasn’t this an easy problem to solve?

Science might be powerful, but in terms of the soul, their Cultivation had some unique insights.

"Prepare to jump off."

Instructor Hei slowly stood up, picked up his little chair, and walked to the door in the middle of the carriage.

"The supply vehicle is by the roadside. We are now within the expanded perimeter of Fortress No. 82. I’ve prepared a suit of armor for you to cover up the identity of Black Storm.

"Since some corruption has surfaced in Fortress No. 82, the front-line war zone has decided to send out a ’Special Task Force’ to investigate and clean up.

"Before that, I’ll give you a 48-hour intensive training, to ensure you meet the ’Special Task Force’s’ combat standard...

"And you won’t disappoint me."

Wang Jixuan shouldered his large backpack, picked up his own chair, and said with a wry smile:

"How could I possibly disappoint you, Uncle? Although I can’t compare to Lingtong and the others for now, I also... have some skills."

Before he finished speaking, a large hand suddenly grabbed his neck and hoisted him up.

"Let’s go!"

Instructor Hei leaped forward and landed steadily, his body tilting to the side with inertia, a pair of mechanical feet seeming to embed into the ground beside him, unwavering.

Not far ahead, a supply vehicle dissolved its environmental camouflage, and two autonomous robot guards saluted with raised hands.

Instructor Hei set Wang Jixuan down.

"Wang Zheng, there’s too much you need to learn. Two days might not be enough, including reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance."

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to his forehead.

He, a former Mahayana Realm Cultivator, a Heavenly Tribulation Challenger, and a little pride of a certain peak of his school, was being carried by the neck like picking up the little neighbor girl next door!

A monumental disgrace!

Very well, let’s show this Uncle Hei what the Righteous Light is all about!
