Chapter 235: German
“Is this the feeling of flying?”
“So strange!”
“It feels like embracing freedom without any restraints!”
Bai E spread his arms, immersing himself with a look of intoxication as he felt the fierce wind blowing towards him, striking a pose as if embracing the sun.
As a result, because it was his first time using a Flying Soul Tool, his posture twisted too much, and for a moment he actually lost his balance, seeming like he wanted to cosplay as a jail.
“Huh? Huh!”
“Oh no!”
Bai E twisted and turned in the air, flailing his limbs, trying to regain his balance, with a panicked and flustered expression on his face.
Mademos ahead heard Bai E’s shouts from behind, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch, with a full face of black lines as he turned around to grab Bai E’s shoulder, helping him stabilize his body.
“Phew~”
“Thanks, Mademos!”
Bai E looked down at the vast land below with lingering fear, if it weren’t for Mademos’s help, he might really have crashed.
Although at this height, with Defensive Soul Tools and buffer Soul Tools, he wouldn’t suffer too serious injuries anyway.
“Idiot!”
“The first time flying in the sky, and you can’t stay still!”
“If there’s a next time, I won’t help you anymore!”
Bai E patted his chest confidently, gave Mademos a thumbs up and said:
“Don’t worry! Partner!”
“Those four words ‘repeat the same mistake’ won’t exist in my dictionary!”
Mademos’s fist hardened; if they weren’t in the air, he really wanted to punch Bai E!
“Hey!”
“Why are you two frozen there?”
“Hurry up and catch up!”
In the distance, a girl who was pink and tender under the sunlight waved her arms towards Bai E and Mademos, her eternally energetic and lively voice piercing through the heavy wind resistance to reach the two’s ears.
Bai E chuckled foolishly, exchanged a glance with Mademos, then flew side by side quickly towards the main group.
Normally, a Level 4 Flying Soul Tool has two Soul Power jet ports, with a top speed of two hundred and fifty li per hour; under unlimited Dream Coin supply, the speed is about four hundred li per hour.
The overall speed definitely can’t compare to the high-speed rail from his previous life’s golden era, let alone large passenger planes.
But this is just a Level 4 Flying Soul Tool; Xilu City has long had the ability to produce Level 8 Flying Soul Tools.
With a total of twenty Soul Power jet ports, speed up to two thousand five hundred li per hour, fully reaching the level of large commercial passenger planes.
This technology is currently only possessed by Xilu City; even the Sun Moon Empire hasn’t achieved it yet, their highest speed is only one thousand five hundred li per hour.
And it’s basically impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to develop Flying Soul Tools of Xilu City’s level, unless they find certain Zenith Star materials and perform a miracle with massive output.
Because Xilu City’s Level 8 Flying Soul Tool Core Formation Array has undergone rigorous mathematical derivation and model calculations; for this, the Enthusiasm Research Department even developed a large computer.
After all, the faster and higher the magnitude and precision requirements for data calculations, pure mental calculation demands too much Spiritual Power.
They can’t just grab a bunch of Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters to act as human brain computers, so they can only find ways to solve data calculation problems through Soul Tools themselves.
However, Xilu City’s Level 8 Flying Soul Tool is too fast, so only high-level Soul Masters can use it; ordinary Soul Masters’ organs would turn into a pulp, which seriously conflicts with the Enthusiasm Research Department’s concept.
Recently, following Huo Yuhao’s instructions, they are developing this Flying Soul Tool in the direction of high-altitude high-speed flying devices.
Trying to allow low-level Soul Masters to also pilot these high-altitude high-speed Soul Tools.
Designs like fighter jets from his previous life also have many places worth referencing in this world.
If possible, Huo Yuhao wants to equip a few high-speed flying devices on the Seer to guard against future troubles.
“Children, we should be almost there.”
“Everyone, perk up.”
“When landing soon, everyone pay attention to maintain the buffer posture I mentioned, don’t get injured; we’ll have to carry out the Surveillance Mission later.”
“No matter what kind of danger we face, always keeping your condition optimal is the most basic requirement!”
Elder Song’s gentle voice transmitted through Spiritual Power into the ears of Bai E and the others flying behind.
This soft Spiritual Power was like a cool breeze, re-energizing their fatigued spirits.
“Finally, we can land!”
“Sure enough, long-distance travel is still most comfortable using Teacher Ti Bao’s Hundred Realms Gate!”
Bai E let out a sigh of relief with a face of liberation; experiencing high-altitude flight for the first time was indeed wonderful, but eight hours of prolonged flight was not so wonderful.
Being blown by the oncoming high-speed airflow for eight hours made him feel like he was almost becoming facial paralysis.
Ti Bao directly ahead had her signature red hair tie slightly disheveled, her youthful voice pleasant and pure.
“Little Bai, even exhausting all the Soul Power of our seven people couldn’t cross such a long distance.”
“Currently, long-distance travel can only rely on Flying Soul Tools.”
“Unless Little Bai you are willing to pay from your Dream Coin piggy bank.”
Bai E scratched his head, smiled and said:
“I actually don’t have much money either.”
“Hehe, maybe in the future it will be possible.”
At that moment, Xuan Zi ahead suddenly descended, and the Main Team Members followed suit in landing.
“We’re here, children, let’s land too.”
Elder Song manipulated the flow of Wind Elements to form airflow, gently supporting the Reserve Team members in a slow descent.
Bai E touched the ground after a long time, surprisingly feeling a bit unaccustomed for a moment.
Afterward, under Elder Song’s lead, they began to stretch their muscles and bones, refamiliarizing themselves with the feeling of standing and walking, while also speeding up blood circulation to warm up their bodies.
The Main Team Members in the distance also performed the same actions; although their cultivation was higher, they were equally fatigued, even in worse condition than the Reserve Team.
Xuan Zi wouldn’t break the wind for these Main Team Members or manipulate airflow to assist their flight.
Since the group’s landing wasn’t deliberately concealed, the commotion was quickly discovered by the Star Luo Empire Western Group Army not far away.
Bai E and the others immediately noticed some small black dots appearing in the sky, growing larger as the distance closed.
Soon, these figures revealed their true appearance: a team of about thirty Soul Masters, wearing black leather armor with a White Tiger pattern on their chests that emitted a faint white glow under the sunlight, indicating whose soldiers they were.
This Soul Master team’s cultivation was all above Four Rings, led by an Elder Soul Saint; the team was filled with a murderous aura, disciplined and orderly, clearly a group of elite Soul Masters who had seen blood.
“Who dares to approach our army without permission?!”
The leading elder activated his Martial Soul, seven best combination Soul Rings rotating behind him, his Soul Saint aura filling the sky.
Xuan Zi impatiently waved his hand, directly dispersing all the aura under the elder’s horrified gaze.
Then, seeing Xuan Zi’s hand press down, this team’s Flying Soul Tools all malfunctioned, directly falling to the ground.
“Why fly so high?”
“Even your marshal doesn’t dare fly above this old man.”
“Little Dai Zi, leave it to you to handle.”
Dai Yue Heng heard this address, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he still honestly went forward to the crowd and said to the leading elder:
“Elder Du, it’s me.”
“These are all my classmates.”
“I’ve already contacted Father about the specific situation on the Magic Net.”
“You can confirm it through the Magic Net.”
The leading Seven Ring Soul Saint immediately withdrew his Soul Rings, surprise on his face overriding the fear.
“Y-Young Master!”
“You’ve come!”
“Then these must be Shrek Academy’s top students and teachers!”
“Look at this mess, no need to confirm anything.”
“Come, I’ll take you to the military camp to see the Marshal!”
Du Leisi immediately led Xuan Lao’s group to the Western Group Army’s station.
On the way, Xuan Zi subconsciously wanted to pull out a chicken drumstick to eat, but suddenly felt Huo Sui’er’s gaze, his body stiffened slightly, and he stuffed the chicken drumstick into Dai Yue Heng’s hand beside him.
“Cough.”
“Eat it.”
“Chicken drumstick for you.”
Dai Yue Heng looked at the chicken drumstick in his hand in bewilderment, neither eating it nor throwing it away.
Bai E and the others curiously observed the military camp scene; they had previously visited Xilu City’s City Defense Army station and subconsciously compared the two.
“Partner, I feel this side is somewhat different from Xilu City’s City Defense Army.”
Bai E said softly to Mademos beside him.
Mademos was also sizing up the surrounding soldiers and tents, responding in a low voice:
“Backward.”
“There are even people who aren’t Soul Masters.”
“Most people’s weapons are actually spears and bows and arrows.”
“Hard to imagine they are in the same era as Xilu City!”
The Western Group Army’s backwardness made Mademos frown involuntarily; he couldn’t imagine how this army would win if they encountered Xilu City’s City Defense Army.
Technology had already formed a crushing posture.
Unless Dai Hao became Peninsula Gold Grandpa, knocking down Xilu City’s high-altitude flying devices with a stone.
And from what he knew, the Star Luo Empire Western Group Army was the strongest fighting force in the Star Luo Empire, reputed as the empire’s cornerstone.
If the strongest army was only like this, what about the other armies?
While the two whispered, the group arrived under Du Leisi’s lead at a large oxhide tent; this tent was larger than the others, standing like a target in the center of the military camp.
Mademos felt uncomfortable inside looking at it; if he were commanding a battle, he’d start by washing these large targets with Soul Guiding Cannonballs.
In front of the oxhide tent was Dai Hao, ranked fourth on Huo Yuhao Douluo Must-Eat List.
Dai Hao saw Xuan Zi and Elder Song, and respectfully saluted; both in strength and seniority were above him.
“Two Pavilion Elders, I’ve already received the information sent by Yue Heng.”
“The relevant information is prepared.”
“Please come to the tent for a talk.”
Bai E curiously sized up this renowned White Tiger Duke; Mademos glanced once and no longer looked at him.
The people behind entered the tent one by one; Xia Die held her Shadow Cat and gave Dai Hao a meaningful look.
Xia Die knew there was enmity between her father and this man, but Huo Yuhao hadn’t told her the specifics.
Huo Yuhao didn’t want her involved in the enmity between him and Dai Hao; anyway, in Huo Yuhao’s eyes, Dai Hao was no different from a dead person, just a moving corpse.
Dai Hao took out two pieces of information in the military camp and handed them to Xuan Zi, who directly tossed them to Wang Yan.
“These two pieces of information are the detailed information on the Bandit Groups in the Ming Dou Mountain Range.”
Wang Yan looked at the White Tiger Duke with doubt, then asked:
“Two pieces of information?”
“Isn’t there only one?”
Dai Hao patiently explained:
“Originally there was only one Death’s Hand Bandit Group.”
“Recently, another Gelman Bandit Group arrived.”
“The two Bandit Groups even had a small-scale conflict.”
Wang Yan pondered for a moment before saying:
“Please let me look at the information first.”
The White Tiger Duke waved his hand, indicating for the other to proceed freely.
Wang Yan opened the two pieces of information for detailed reading: Death’s Hand Bandit Group totaled three hundred people, including thirty Soul Masters, the strongest being a Soul King, with unclear specific details.
Gelman Bandit Group totaled one hundred people, fifteen Soul Masters, the strongest probably a Soul Sect.
The most interesting point about this Bandit Group was that, unknown from when, everyone had a monocle on their right eye.
