Chapter 365: Chapter 178: Returning Void! Foundation Establishment Fourth Realm! _3

Lingtong carefully read the first three messages.

Her expression was slightly solemn.

Ms. Wan smiled and said, "Don’t feel pressured, we have a secret weapon: the Miracle Machine."

"The modification of humans by Blade Beasts," Lingtong stated succinctly, "such things have indeed occurred, previously it was only theoretically possible."

"Doesn’t this indirectly prove that the Blade Beasts are desperate?"

Ms. Wan yawned, her eyes bloodshot, and muttered:

"In the past, did we ever have such treatment? Now that the Brain-eating Worms have been discovered, the Blade Beasts have lost their surveillance over humans, they are both speaking and modifying Spiritual Ability Users."

"Who knows what kind of big moves these monsters may pull off next."

"Wasn’t it said that Blade Beasts can devour and fuse with each other? Although this phenomenon has only been observed among low-level Blade Beasts, middle-level and high-level Blade Beasts have not shown this behavior to date."

"But who can be certain?"

Lingtong asked, "Does the other battlefield need our support?"

"Please, you need to rest right now."

Ms. Wan said helplessly:

"You’ve already accomplished a feat of bravery and made an extraordinary contribution; now you must let yourself recover your strength."

"Close your eyes and sleep for a bit, if Wang Zheng calls, I’ll say you’re on a date with Dream God."

"Or I could give you a harmless sleep-inducing injection."

"It’s best not to joke like that, he’s a very earnest person."

Lingtong closed her eyes, and a hint of fatigue appeared on her delicate face; she was about to fall into a deep sleep...

"Urgent message from the Commander!"

Lingtong nearly leapt up reflexively from the operating table, her impressive figure erect as she was connected to several wires by mechanical arms, raising her hand to salute the projection screen in front of her.

The dozen or so logistics personnel inside the transport vehicle quickly gathered behind Lingtong, saluting in a somewhat disorganized manner.

"Hmm, you all have worked hard."

Fu Jian nodded slightly, watching Lingtong, and simply said, "Switch to the mech arm’s internal encrypted audio channel."

"Yes!"

Lingtong’s fingers typed rapidly, while Ms. Wan, in a flurry, brought over two earpieces and inserted them into Lingtong’s ears.

The voice of Fu Jian soon came through:

"You’ve worked hard in this battle. Overcoming a King-level Blade Beast with just seven relatively low-cost fifteen-meter Level mechas, your names have already been written into the military history of mankind."

Lingtong immediately responded, "This victory was achieved through the collective effort of the war zone!"

"And that was with you risking your lives, striving with great effort."

Fu Jian said:

"Don’t worry about this front; I’ve already deployed a small portion of the mechanical army. The Beast God Sect’s Spiritual Ability Users only created some chaos for us, but the situation is now stable."

"Lingtong, I need you to make a choice now."

"Commander! There’s no such thing as a multiple-choice question in Lingtong’s world, a soldier only has orders to execute!"

"No, you must choose, consider it comprehensively."

Fu Jian said in a deep voice:

"The first path, you continue on the front line of battle. Thanks to Wang Zheng’s help in strengthening your body, your overall abilities are now comparable to a Half-human Mecha that is enhanced by more than 65%."

"In this battle, the greatest contribution was yours; you are the team’s anchor."

"The second path... to become my candidate successor."

Lingtong paused.

"If you choose the second path, I will immediately arrange for you to go on a tour of the whole combat zone, giving public lectures about the dangers of Spiritual Ability City."

"To become a hero trusted by humanity, you must first become a hero worshiped by them."

"In addition, you will become the chief instructor of the Seven Star Sword Formation, teaching other combat zone Half-human Mecha Teams in the future. Your military rank will be promoted to at least the rank of Major General within five years."

Fu Jian’s words paused, and as he sat behind a makeshift desk, fingers interlocked in front of his nose, he said in a low voice:

"Before, we saw no hope, but now that we have, certain plans must be pushed forward."

"In the current era, becoming a hero of humanity is a very cruel choice for an individual."

"Personally, I do not wish you to choose this path, but my position as Commander forces me to consider you as my successor."

"When can you give me an answer?"

Lingtong opened her mouth slightly.

She hesitated, a rare instance of indecisiveness.
