Chapter 348: Unacceptable Result

“Why is it different from the news?”
Chen Yingying’s eyes widened in surprise.
After the black shadow in the video was attacked, it only paused for a moment and remained unharmed. Then, it followed the New Era experimental ship and only left it alone after the ship exited the oceanic trench.
The short video recorded this shocking incident.
Feng Tao felt awkward. How could he answer this naive girl who was also Chen Yiming’s sister?
After traveling such a long distance from the Bohai Bay to the South American continent and returning, it was normal for there to be some unexpected incidents after the ‘reforged extraordinary weapons’ proved to not be invincible.
Furthermore, what was reported on the television news was not fake. It was just that it was not taken from the ship’s journey through the oceanic trench.
“A fighter jet is more eye-catching when it is flying in the air. We can’t be careless!”
At this moment, Ye Jianyuan sighed and helped his former comrade resolve the awkwardness.
The Myriad Phenomena Sect had also received some fragments of extraordinary weapons. After making them into suitable weapons, they were all stored in the sect’s secret vault.
Usually, the 12 inner court heads would take turns guarding it. They would only use it when needed.
Chen Yiming remained calm on the surface, but he thought to himself, “It seems that staying at home and cultivating hard isn’t a good thing. I have to bring Chen Yingying out more in the future.”
At the same time, he glanced at Shen Mengwei, who was beside his sister.
From the expression on her face, there was a high chance that she also did not grasp the situation. However, she had been listening quietly, unlike Chen Yingying who had voiced her shock.
“Could it be that I’ve led Chen Yingying astray?”
Chen Yiming recalled that when his sister was still studying, she would also listen quietly if she didn’t know anything. It was indeed different from how she was now.
Next, Feng Tao told the air force command about the latest plan. “The two futuristic fighter jets will no longer enter the territory of the Ganges Kingdom. The targets of the bombardment will be changed from the gathering place of the mutant beasts to an area further away along the border.”
The first consideration of the modified plan was the uncertain dangers posed by the mutant creatures.
After all, they were related to the black tide. No one knew if there was anything that was hiding in the Ganges Kingdom, like the shadow monster in the no man’s land in the southwest.
Or if they might encounter a situation similar to what happened to the New Era experimental ship in the oceanic trench.
Another reason was that if the gathering places of the mutant creatures in the Ganges Kingdom were linked in some way, it would be troublesome if two future fighter jets fell into an encirclement.
The air force command did not want to lose the ‘reforged extraordinary weapons’ on their first flight.
Chen Yiming had no objections, and neither did the others.
He could understand the conservative reasoning of the air force command. Other than him, who did not see much value in the pile of broken fragments, the sea, land, and air forces were all treating them like treasures.
There were many fragments of the extraordinary weapons being studied in the laboratory, but very few were actually allowed to be used in actual combat.
The army received a larger share of these. After all, it was not so easy to lose it in the hands of the martial arts experts.
Due to the possibility of incidents occurring, there was a high chance that the air force and navy would lose some of the fragments, so the share they received would be smaller.
…
After leaving the command center, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Feng Tao had basically completed his mission. With this person holding down the fort, what else could happen?
Therefore, Feng Tao suggested that the juniors have a martial arts exchange. There were a few new recruits with outstanding martial arts talent at the air base.
In this era, no activity could bring the relationship between the two sides closer than a martial arts exchange.
It was often beneficial for both sides to have a martial arts exchange with a new opponent. Many times, they would become familiar with each other through such events.
Chen Yiming turned to Chen Yingying.
“Alright! Alright!”
Chen Yingying nodded and agreed.
Cultivating alone was extremely boring. She would not miss such an opportunity.
Chen Yiming turned to Shen Mengwei.
“Of course.”
Shen Mengwei also nodded.
Ye Jianyuan, who was at the side, wanted to give a warning to his former comrade. “The disciples we brought this time are not ordinary disciples. Not to mention new recruits, even Feng Tao himself might not be a match for them.”
However, even up till the time when Feng Tao arranged for a communications officer to call the new recruits over, there was no suitable opportunity to mention it.
…
In a wide area outside the Southwest Air Force Base, due to the restrictions in place, the martial arts exchange this time was a simple one. Ye Jianyuan and Feng Tao acted as the judges to ensure that the competition would stop before anyone was injured.
“Are our opponents those two little girls?”
a soldier with muscles so strong that it seemed to put an additional layer of armor on his body asked his comrade in a low voice.
“Remember to act naturally when you go easy on them later. Don’t mess it up,” his comrade reminded him again.
“Don’t worry, how can I get excited when competing with a little girl? It’s just a spar. It’s too easy.” The soldier nodded.
“It’s good that you remember. We have 10 people on our side! You have to pay attention to the time even if you go easy on each of them. It’s best if all 10 of us can go on stage.” His comrade nodded.
It was no secret that Chen Yingying’s martial arts talent was mediocre.
The air force command center had asked Chen Yiming to oversee the situation, so they had naturally done their homework. Everything had already been explained to them.
As for Shen Mengwei, the Myriad Phenomena Sect had kept their genius disciples a secret. She was still training hard on the mountain, and the outside world only knew that she had outstanding martial arts talent before she went up the mountain.
However, among the young people who could enter the Myriad Phenomena Sect, all of them had outstanding martial arts talent.
Therefore, Feng Tao felt that by sending these 10 people to participate in the martial arts exchange, it would not only express their respect, but also achieve the effect of a meaningful exchange.
Not long after, the martial arts exchange officially started.
Chen Yingying took the initiative to be the first to fight, while the air base sent out a young female soldier.
Both of them were warriors who had mastered the transformation of internal force. There was no difference in their martial arts realms, and the only difference was that the female soldier was a few years older.
However, this did not mean that the female soldier’s martial arts talent was not good. After all, Chen Yingying had relied on a large number of martial arts resources to reach her current level.
For example, the miracle blood that the large martial arts factions had fought over at the auction. After Chen Yiming had brought it back from the provincial biological research institute, she had applied it diligently without missing a single day.
“Aren’t you worried?”
Ye Jianyuan asked Chen Yiming in surprise.
After all, the female soldier was not a martial arts teacher, and the army had a fierce battle style. Even if they wanted to, they might not be able to control their strength.
“The effect of the new batch of high-quality miracle blood is not bad. She has also undergone additional internal force training. It shouldn’t be a problem,” Chen Yiming said.
“High-quality miracle blood? Internal force training?”
Ye Jianyuan did not know that there were different levels of quality for the miracle blood, and he had never heard of such a training method.
“It’s just constantly snatching back the control of your internal force,”
Chen Yiming explained casually.
Hearing this, Ye Jianyuan immediately understood.
This was a technique that only those above the half-step master realm were qualified to use. Unfortunately, it was a shortcut that very few people could take.
In the arena.
“Chen Yingying!”
“Liao Xiaojuan!”
Chen Yingying and the female soldier exchanged names and briefly got to know each other.
After observing that both sides were ready, the two judges shouted at the same time, “Begin.”
From the start, Chen Yingying relied on her powerful explosive power to jump dozens of meters back, then drew her bow and shot arrows in midair in one go.
With the help of the wind blades, the three arrows moved at a speed that far exceeded the normal speed, directly sealing off Liao Xiaojuan and preventing her from dodging.
Although Chen Yingying looked like a thin and weak girl, in reality, she had used the miracle blood to improve her physique after a long period of cultivation. Other than the top geniuses of her generation, her physique was not weaker than anyone else’s.
“I was almost careless. Fortunately, I arranged for 10 people to compete.”
Feng Tao could tell at a glance that she was not a second-generation martial arts practitioner who was just idling around. His heart tightened.
Liao Xiaojuan was also shocked. She had wanted to test the waters and find out the situation before going easy on her opponent.
However, what the chief said was no longer just a little off. It was the complete opposite. Was there still a need to go easy on her? Even if she used her full strength, she might still be at a disadvantage.
And the situation was exactly like that.
Since Liao Xiaojuan had been careless and lost the upper hand, her opponent seemed to be the stronger one. After dozens of rounds, she was completely forced to retreat by the rain of arrows.
“Stop!”
Feng Tao and Ye Jianyuan released their internal forces at the same time, shattering the arrows that were flying over from their blind spots. Both sides stopped at the same time.
“Chen Yingying won!”
“Liao Xiaojuan lost!”
In less than 10 minutes, the expressions of the soldiers who had been discussing how to go easy on her became solemn.
If the remaining nine people were as careless as Liao Xiaojuan, they would embarrass Feng Tao completely.
The next round, it was Shen Mengwei’s turn. This was decided by Feng Tao at the start.
Because the number of people was two against eight, it was not appropriate for the martial arts exchange to turn into a tag-team battle. It should be focused on the exchange and not on the outcome.
On the soldiers’ side, the remaining nine people discussed briefly and arranged for the toughest soldier to fight next.
It was the soldier who was so muscular that it was as if his body was covered in an additional layer of armor.
“Hong Kai!”
“Shen Mengwei!”
As usual, they got to know each other’s names first.
Two minutes later.
Hong Kai’s eyes welled up.
His comrades were stunned.
Feng Tao was speechless.
Ye Jianyuan let out a long sigh.
The outcome of this competition was really unacceptable.
Hong Kai cultivated a physique-based cultivation technique. His defense was his pride, and he was comparable to a humanoid mutant beast.
However, his protective internal force had been easily broken by a single sword move just now. If it was a life-and-death battle, he would have been cut in half.
Chen Yiming’s expression remained the same, but he was secretly satisfied.
He was the one who had snatched her away from the Shanghai Martial Arts Academy. In the future, the higher Shen Mengwei’s achievements were, the more the world would be amazed by his outstanding judgment.
The Sword of Will seemed to have performed better than his Heart Sword. This was because of the crystal meditation technique.
The inner court heads of the Myriad Phenomena Sect would definitely also have brought their genius disciples into the trial grounds in secret.
Not long after, the martial arts exchange reached an anti-climatic end.
Chen Yingying had sparred with several young martial arts geniuses in the military and gained a lot of actual combat experience from fighting them. Now that her opponents were prepared, it gradually became more difficult for her to win.
As time passed, Chen Yingying’s stamina and internal force were both exhausted, and she lost.
…
When the group returned to the command center of the base, the two fighter jets were already prepared. The two pilots with strong martial arts cultivation were ready to board the planes at any time.
Chen Yiming sized up the new fighter jet. He glossed over the design, which wasn’t the main point.
The main point was the spikes extending from the tip of the plane and the circular vortex at the tail of the jet. Both of them had been fused with the fragments of the extraordinary weapons.
One was in charge of attacking, and the other was in charge of providing power. These two aspects had improved greatly, and only then did they dare to term it as “futuristic”.
In essence, the attack and power of these jets were at the level of the power of nature. In theory, after it was further perfected, it could be used as a fighter jet in space.
At this moment, he saw the excited Chen Yingying from the corner of his eye.
Chen Yiming flicked the back of his sister’s head and said in a low voice, “Don’t say anything rashly. You aren’t here to sightsee. We have many important tasks to do.”
“Oh!” Chen Yingying also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Of course, Chen Yiming wouldn’t let his sister board the fighter jets and get close to the Ganges Kingdom.
Ever since the female spirit revealed the shocking information that the negative emotions needed to reach a certain threshold before the black tide arrived, it made sense why the powerful shadow monster from back then appeared in the no man’s land in the southwest.
The key was the number of people and mutant beasts. This was because only living creatures would have negative emotions.
It was said that in some small countries in South Asia, the mutant humans were even changing their masters, and things were going surprisingly smoothly.
The reason was that the ordinary people in those countries had had enough of being threatened by mutant beasts. They yearned for supernatural power too much and were easily bewitched.
The group arrived at one of the futuristic fighter jets.
Chen Yiming suddenly asked Feng Tao, “Did the military arrange for anyone to enter the Ganges Kingdom in advance, or did they investigate the border?”
“The truth is that there are far more mutant creatures there than expected. The military isn’t confident that they can successfully send their people in.”
This was a military secret, but since Chen Yiming asked, Feng Tao didn’t hesitate to reveal it.
Chen Yiming thought to himself, “If they’re not confident, it means that they can’t grasp the true situation. We should also complete a special investigation mission during the actual combat practice of the futuristic fighter jets.”
Chen Yiming continued, “Is it enough to just bomb the periphery of the border? If it’s not enough, you can consider provoking the mutant humans and mutant beasts gathering at the border.”
Glancing at Feng Tao, who couldn’t make a decision, Chen Yiming added, “If there’s really a hidden danger in the Ganges Kingdom, it’s better to discover it sooner rather than later.”
The intention behind these words were too obvious. If there were any major problems during the bombing, he would take responsibility.
Feng Tao understood his intentions and immediately took out his communication device to contact the air force headquarters in the capital.
