nChen Yiming chased his sister to her room to apply the ointment herself. He focused his attention and communicated with the figure in his mind.

nThe information gathered by the spiritual figure in the past few days indicated that the otherworld had fallen into an all-out war in a short period of time.

nThe mutant creature army had the special ability to split themselves and to possess others. As the intensity and range of the battle increased, many mutant creatures fell, but even more remained standing.

nIn addition, the spiritual figure found a sea 5,000 kilometers to the east of the human stronghold.

n“Could the source of the mutation be coming from the sea?”

nThe information from the spiritual figure was that the bottom of the sea was dead silent, and there were no signs of any creatures from the otherworld. On the other hand, there were fights everywhere on the land. This was definitely not normal.

nChen Yiming wanted to let the spiritual figure go deep into the sea to investigate the situation. However, even though he had killed the mutant creatures that attacked the stronghold that day, there were still mutant creatures that threatened the human stronghold appearing from time to time.

nAt this critical moment, he probably could not take care of both the Daxia Kingdom’s territory and the human stronghold at the same time. In the end, he gave up on the idea and continued to clean out the mutant creatures in the area around the human stronghold.

n…

nActual combat was the best way to test the new fighter jets.

nThe top commander of the air force had just returned from the Bohai Bay shipbuilding base when an emergency meeting was held.

n“The navy’s New Era experimental ship almost got into an accident in an oceanic trench!”

nAn undisclosed piece of information was revealed by the top commander of the air force.

n“This…”

n“There’s actually such a thing?”

n“I didn’t expect this! I thought the trip would be smooth sailing just like the public announcement.”

nSurprise filled the meeting room.

nThe reason they were surprised was that the New Era experimental ship was actually a large aircraft carrier. Not only did it carry an army of 10,000 warriors, but it was also equipped with ‘reforged extraordinary weapons’.

nLogically speaking, it would not have been difficult for the New Era experimental ship to dominate the five oceans, but in reality, something had almost happened.

n“Is it because of the oceanic trench?” someone asked directly.

n“That’s right. There are existences in that trench that we can’t do anything about.” The top commander of the air force nodded.

nAs soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the meeting room gasped.

nThey had thought that with the ‘reforged extraordinary weapons’, other than a few things related to the black tide, humans would quickly recover to their former glory before the invasion of the otherworld.

nThey did not expect to have cold water thrown on them. The feeling of falling from the clouds was very uncomfortable.

n“What about the first actual combat practice of our futuristic fighter jets?”

nA general thought of this problem and brought it up.

nThe top commander of the air force nodded and said slowly, “That’s why this emergency meeting was organized. There’s a limit to the number of ‘reforged extraordinary weapons’ we can make. We can’t afford to lose them.”

nThat day, Chen Yiming had brought back a small mountain of fragments from the extraordinary weapons. However, most of them had been assigned to the space plan, and not much was allocated to the troops.

nAt the moment, there were only three futuristic fighter jets. Losing any one of them would be difficult to bear.

n“That’s right. We can’t lose them.”

nAlmost everyone thought so.

nSoon, at the emergency meeting, the original plan to hold the first combat practice with the futuristic fighter jet was shelved. After some discussion, they came up with a safer plan.

n…

nA private plane took off from Jiangnan Airport.

nChen Yiming, Ye Jianyuan, Shen Mengwei, and Chen Yingying were each sitting in comfortable chairs. There were only four passengers on the plane.

nTwo beautiful air stewardesses were serving the four of them. They had prepared eye masks, pillows, food, and so on.

nThe actual combat training for the futuristic fighter jet was to be held in the chaotic South Asian countries. Chen Yiming and Ye Jianyuan had been invited to aid in the mission.

nAs the futuristic fighter jets were an important part of the space plan, and Chen Yiming didn’t have anything else to do, he agreed to it.

nAt the same time, the top commander of the air force agreed to a strategic partnership with the Myriad Phenomena Sect and provided their services with an emergency fighter jet in return.

nChen Yingying also wanted to go out and broaden her horizons, so Chen Yiming brought her along.

nAt some point, while the two girls were chatting about the scenery along the way,

nYe Jianyuan lowered his voice and said, “Shen Mengwei, this female disciple you brought back to the sect, is not simple…”

nBefore he could finish his sentence,

nChen Yiming coughed and quickly explained, “I didn’t intend to take in a disciple directly. She was recommended by the Mantis Snake Sword School.”

nWhen Ye Jianyuan heard this, he let out a long sigh. “I see. That’s a pity. A few days ago, this girl suddenly cultivated an ability called the Sword of Will. No one in the sect at the same level can withstand a single strike from her.”

n“Sword of Will?”

nChen Yiming’s eyes widened in surprise.

nWasn’t this the Heart Sword ability that he had obtained after upgrading to the Level-2 swordsmanship talent?

nDidn’t that mean that Shen Mengwei’s swordsmanship talent was equivalent to his Level-2 swordsmanship talent to a certain extent? That was incredible.

nYe Jianyuan nodded and said in an even lower voice, “That’s right. The day before yesterday, this girl came to find me. At that time, I didn’t think much of it and almost got destroyed by it along with my sword.”

nWith that, his face turned red.

nAs the previous sect master of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, he was actually in such a sorry state because of a little girl who had just joined the sect.

nAlthough there was a reason for his carelessness, it was still very embarrassing and difficult to say.

nHearing this, Chen Yiming recalled their first encounter.

nShen Mengwei was indeed talented in swordsmanship. Otherwise, he would not have thought of poaching her and tricking her into joining the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

nAs for the Sword of Will, there was a high chance that after practicing the crystal meditation technique, which could further temper one’s spiritual power, it could trigger the qualitative transformation of her swordsmanship talent.

nThis was similar to his suggestion for Feng Wuji to go to the otherworld to find an opportunity to trigger the qualitative transformation of his crystal shadow talent.

nAfter some time,

nChen Yiming said, “I haven’t thought about taking in a direct disciple yet, but we can set up the positions for three deputy sect masters after we return. Leave one of them empty for the time being.”

nYe Jianyuan understood and nodded.

nAlthough Shen Mengwei was very young, her talent in swordsmanship was too shocking.

nShe couldn’t possibly remain an inner sect disciple after eventually suppressing everyone in the Myriad Phenomena Sect other than Chen Yiming.

nA true genius could not be kept unless one bent the rules for them.

n…

nAt the Southwest Air Force Base,

na non-military aircraft landed there.

nChen Yiming, Ye Jianyuan, Shen Mengwei, and Chen Yingying walked down the stairs.

nA strong soldier with a square face quickly walked over and extended his hand. “Welcome to the Southwest Air Force Base. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Feng Tao.”

n“We’ve met before.”

nChen Yiming reached out and shook his hand.

nAfter Elder Zhang was ambushed by the black light, Chen Yiming went to the sentry post to investigate the incident and brought back 11 soldiers who were still alive.

nFeng Tao was the person in charge of the Southwest Air Force Base. He was also there at that time. They did not really know each other, but they had met once previously.

nThis was the first time Shen Mengwei and Chen Yingying had come to the air base.

nThe two girls looked around curiously and their gazes finally landed on the two special-looking fighter jets.

nThese were the futuristic fighter jets that had been on the news. Their flat and simple design was very eye-catching.

n“Long time no see.”

nYe Jianyuan also stepped forward and shook Feng Tao’s hand.

nFeng Tao smiled and said, “Old Ye, the two of us can be considered comrades who have gone through thick and thin together. Why are you so polite? It’s been a long journey for you guys. Let’s go for a meal first.”

nSoon, the group arrived at the canteen.

nFeng Tao brought the four of them to eat the food from the military. Perhaps because he had instructed them in advance, every dish was specially prepared by the cook.

nIn short, the taste was not bad, but it did not lose the military’s special style: extremely large quantities.

n…

nAfter dinner, the group went to the command center.

nA map with red crosses was hung on the wall.

n“Ever since the Ganges Kingdom was ravaged by the sea monsters, it has yet to stabilize. Now, it is filled with mutant humans and mutant creatures.”

nFeng Tao pointed at the map on the wall and said, “These locations are where the mutant humans and mutant beasts gather.”

nChen Yiming sized up the map in front of him. After observing the locations that were marked out, he realized that the Ganges Kingdom was too unlucky.

nIt was originally formed by relatively scattered countries. There were conflicts in various areas, and it was difficult for them to work together to deal with their enemies. Now, they were being attacked twice in a row.

nFrom the locations on the map, it could be estimated that the region was completely out of control. They did not have the strength to eliminate the mutant humans and mutant creatures and chase them out of the country.

nFeng Tao used a remote control to activate the projector beside him. Soon, a video was projected on the screen on the side wall.

nWhen the New Era experimental ship passed through the oceanic trench, a huge black shadow surfaced from the bottom of the sea. The ‘reforged extraordinary weapon’ launched an attack on the black shadow.
