Chapter 247: Chapter 136 ’No.7 Assassin

Deep Sea had just entered the room when he saw a long sword in Wang Jixuan’s palm constantly trembling.

The sword was one meter and forty-five centimeters long; at its widest near the hilt, it was about fifteen centimeters across, tapering down to eight or nine centimeters near the tip. The blade, crafted from the outer bone of a high-level Blade Beast, was as thin as a cicada’s wing on both edges.

It had just been inlaid with a crystal core. The engraved patterns on the hilt and the blade bone activated themselves, emitting a faint bluish light.

This was the best weapon Wang Jixuan could refine at the moment, capable of slicing through the shells of high-level Basic Blade Beasts as easily as chopping vegetables.

Red Snake glanced at the rows of ordinary crystal core greatswords hanging on the wall, then looked again at the great sword in Wang Jixuan’s hand and said with a smile,

"You wouldn’t just favor Lingtong with such high-level crystal core weapons, would you? I’ve also fought tooth and nail... Hey!"

Wang Jixuan ran his sword finger along the blade, leaving behind a shallow scratch, inscribing the words Ling Sword.

Lingtong calmly took the great sword and raised an eyebrow slightly at Red Snake.

"Thank you."

Daoist Wang advised with care, "Make a sheath for it later, and try to carry it with you when you operate the mecha."

"Alright, and what will you use?"

"A spear. The spear from last time was quite useful. I’ll just make another with upgraded materials."

Wang Jixuan chuckled,

"I don’t really like these heavy great swords; I prefer more elegant swords. This sword is embedded with prohibitions against spiritual impact, which can be used for emergency defense."

"No way!"

Red Snake stamped her foot in frustration, fuming,

"Can’t you two show me a little respect! How come you treat her differently when we’re both Battle Girls!"

Deep Sea had been laughing since he entered the room.

Red Snake turned and glared at him; Deep Sea immediately put on a serious face.

Deep Sea said gruffly, "Indeed, we shouldn’t discriminate... The Combat Base also needs such tools to escape when mechas are trapped."

Red Snake argued, "If anyone is to get it, I should be first!"

"Wife, you just focus on sniping from the rear. Charging into the fray—that’s obviously my job."

"Pfft! Hoarding the good stuff for yourself! That’s how much you love me!"

"Feelings are feelings, combat effectiveness is combat effectiveness."

Daoist Wang couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Since it increased their collective combat capacity, he certainly wouldn’t be stingy. He was just teasing them earlier.

Pretty amusing.

The projection screen in the corner of the workshop flickered a few times, the countdown timer jumped from [58:02:21] to [49:22:10] before continuing to count down.

Red Snake frowned, "Has the predicted attack time moved up again?"

"Let’s get to work."

Wang Jixuan urged with a smile,

"We need to produce as much as possible to support the front lines, which are facing pressure from six king-level Blade Beasts from various directions."

Deep Sea removed his jacket to reveal his muscular chest and willingly headed to the forge.

Lingtong suddenly cocked her head as if listening, then looked up and said,

"The command center for the seventh king-level Blade Beast has been set up. The commander is Dongfang Zhenghong, who has arranged about one hundred and twenty Level D and Level C Spiritual Ability Users, three heavily armed composite brigades, and the resources and garrisons from six fortresses near the Sari Desert are all at his disposal."

She paused, then asked, "Do you want to join their command channel?"

"No need, just keep me updated. Officially, I’m just a member of your logistic team, commander."

"Alright, get back to work, logistics soldier."

"Yes, commander!"

Red Snake pouted, "Look at them, Honey! I want that kind of flirting too!"

Deep Sea helplessly said, "You want everything. I guess I lack romance, huh? Come on, get ready to carve!"

"To correct you, this isn’t just carving. This is... a Spiritual Energy Conduction Prohibition within the Spirit Cultivation Civilization."

Wang Jixuan seriously bluffed,

"Let’s start by forging six Ling Swords, then work together to make a couple of spears. Remember to send the best sword later to our Commander."

Lingtong, slightly puzzled, asked, "Why send it to the Commander? Does the Commander’s fighting ability really need it?"

"That," Daoist Wang pondered for a moment, "is a bit of human courtesy we must pay attention to in our personal growth."

Lingtong pinched her chin, thinking hard.

Though she didn’t agree, she expressed understanding.

The countdown on the corner projection screen was continuously decreasing, and the workshop resounded again with the ding-ding-ding of work.

Outside the workshop, dozens of autonomous maintenance robots busily processed various types of ores.

In the nearby break room, Wu Man’s desk was piled with thick stacks of talismans, and the youth continued doggedly drawing them, unwilling to pause.

—Wang Jixuan could only teach him how to draw talismans, not how to activate them with Spiritual Sense.

To maximize Wu Man’s value as a ’child laborer,’ Wang Jixuan had also specifically taught him how to slowly absorb the Spiritual Energy from crystal cores.

Outside Fortress 76, military vehicles lined up in long queues were coming and going, transporting various large equipment toward the distance.

Simultaneously, vehicles constantly left Fortress 82, carrying men, women, and children away from their lifelong homes against a backdrop of endless yellow sand.

The faces of the people were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Vultures occasionally flew across the sky;

The sun also became more scorching.

The countdown to the expected outbreak of the battle in the war zone was entering the final twenty-four hours.

Wang Jixuan took off the drone that had been following him around and exposed his vertical pupil.

A sense of urgency hit him.

Under the gaze of this vertical pupil, Wang Jixuan boarded Lingtong’s transport aircraft, taking with him Mu Dan, Ms. Wan, and an emergency mount, and headed to the vicinity of Fortress 82, where Dongfang Zhenghong had already set up the seventh main battlefield.

Nearing the prearranged battlefield, Wang Jixuan softly marveled as he looked down through the transport’s window.
