Master of Kaidan
Chapter 235: Regardless of Him

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Regardless of Him

Although from Huo Mu’s words, Feng Xue could roughly understand that it was probably some country or organization that had accidentally or intentionally found a door that could be opened, and then came straight in seeking cooperation.

However, in the end, Feng Xue couldn’t imagine what kind of Kaidan could threaten the phenomenon-level move of "Yan Country people knowing martial arts."

Even if they did come up with a move capable of destroying Yan Country, he could just publicly share the Basic Boxing techniques. Although he felt some psychological resistance towards the bizarre style of the real world, for a Kaidan rooted in "Martial Arts," the real world was the strongest foundation.

However, considering that this might affect the Babylon Tower challenge in three months, Feng Xue decided to inquire further. But Huo Mu, in the end, was just a minor role. Although he was someone of high status for the surrounding satellite landfill zones, when it came to an event that would make the Four Major Landfills deserted, what he knew was very limited.

So, he opened his work badge and dialed Old Li’s number again.

"Hey, Little Feng, don’t tell me you’ve already set the fire!"

Old Li’s tone, slightly expectant yet worried, came through the work badge, making Feng Xue feel a bit amused.

However, he honestly replied,

"Not yet, but it feels close. I’m planning to make a push in the last three months. But speaking of which, what’s going on now, will it affect the challenge?"

"No, I said it was impossible..." Old Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if his worldview had been preserved, but there was also a faint sense of disappointment.

Feng Xue couldn’t be sure if this was an act, but it didn’t really matter. Just as he was about to urge a response, Old Li recovered from the "worried about the partner going bankrupt, yet worried about them making too much money" mood and, with his usual slick tone, said,

"I’m not very clear on the cause, seems like a national struggle or something. Anyway, now a country’s power has sent people in, saying they want to cooperate, but they were unlucky. The door happened to be a new one in a recently destroyed landfill zone, with no Manager at all. Those old hands wanted to gobble it up themselves, but they weren’t united, and with some organization spies and Intelligence Merchants adding fuel to the fire, it became widely known across the landfill zone."

"You seem happy?" Feng Xue detected a bit of smugness in Old Li’s words and suspected he might have had a hand in leaking the intelligence.

Old Li had no intention of disguising it, directly saying,

"Of course I’m happy! Think about it, why could the Hundred Tales monopolize residential areas and control most of the landfill zone Managers? Wasn’t it because they monopolized a country in the real world?"

"But what does this have to do with you? You don’t think you could become that cooperation target, do you?" Feng Xue felt Old Li couldn’t be that overconfident, but what if he had some trump card?

Yet Old Li’s answer was unexpectedly unambitious—

"I’m not that ambitious, it’s just that now the states in reality are throwing out cooperation proposals, hasn’t the Hundred Tales monopoly become nothing? Unless they could eliminate all those coming in for cooperation, the residential area’s Lockdown will lose its meaning. Isn’t that a benefit?"

"Fine, so what’s the situation now?" Feng Xue shook his head, knowing that by the time the residential area opened up, he should already have the Babylon Tower room card.

"Nothing much, they’ve all died." Old Li’s answer was succinct, leaving Feng Xue slightly stunned,

"Who’s all died?"

"That group of real world people! To curry favor with those null, they handed over many personal items, and in the Hundred Tales, there’s a cadre who can use personal items to cast the Death Curse. Seems like she’s called ’Chousi Can’ or something like that. Anyway, she used one personal item to curse a real world soldier, who immediately turned into a gigantic omen, obliterating both the real world people and that landfill zone once again. Then hundreds of these massive omens fought each other, the scene was splendid!"

"..." Feng Xue was at a loss for a while but still asked, "Since they’re all dead, what about people from the big organizations? Surely they didn’t unite to defeat the Hundred Tales, right?"

"If they had that courage, the Hundred Tales would’ve been toppled long ago!"

Old Li snorted disdainfully before explaining,

"Mainly, the outsiders were quite persistent. As soon as the landfill zone’s new door opened, dozens more came in. But this time, other organizations also made moves. The current situation is that these organizations are scheming against each other, trying to gain more benefits in cooperation with the real world people while also guarding against the Hundred Tales’ sneak attacks. Meanwhile, the Hundred Tales are trying their best to kill these real world people.

"As for your question about the Babylon Tower challenge, don’t worry about it. The contract between Infinite City and the major organizations was notarized by Infinite City. As long as December comes, you can go for the challenge, and no one will stop you."

"That’s settled then." Feng Xue felt reassured upon hearing this and was ready to hang up the phone, but Old Li immediately said,

"Hold on, don’t hang up yet! You’re a Kaidan now, aren’t you interested in getting a piece of this? That’s a national-level cooperation; even if you can’t be the main player, getting a small share would be a huge opportunity!"

"No, I’m busy lighting the fire now." Feng Xue decisively refused, not giving Old Li a chance to persuade further, and directly hung up the work badge.

Though he still wasn’t clear which country’s forces had entered, when he returned, he had studied the Kaidan plans of various countries. Interestingly enough, traditional equipment development and military competitions were conducted secretly until the finished products were ready to be revealed.

But the Kaidan arms race, by nature, couldn’t be kept secret from the start.

When he returned, aside from Ussas’s bear nation’s combat Kaidan being successfully completed, all others were still far from it!

With a malicious smile on his face, Feng Xue pulled out a case and poured out thousands of "dice." By now, these dice no longer appeared as clear and transparent as they had when first obtained but were filled with a kind of "cotton" like inferior-grade Jade.

But this was a sign that Feng Xue’s personal mark had been imprinted on them.

He crushed the dice one by one, absorbing the insignificant amount of Identity into his body. One, two, three...

To others and even to Kaidan, these substances could be considered lethal poison. Bit by bit, Feng Xue absorbed them, and they converged within his body before turning into a trickling stream that flowed into the consciousness world where the Kaidan Fire resided.

But just as he was about to compress it, Feng Xue paused, slightly surprised,

"Wait, isn’t this process too much like refining the Martial Arts True Form? Did I just skip a level?"
