Heated Debate and Destruction
"Professor Qian, this is the image, but it only scanned a portion of it. There must have been an extremely dense concentration of extraordinary substances around Chen Yongjie, which impacted our insect detectors, destroying 90% of the equipment!"
Someone inside the Silver Spaceship reported this, and then a 3D projection appeared, playing some of Old Chen's combat footage.
"That's terrifying! Advanced robots cost hundreds of millions to build, and their physical attacks are considered unmatched in individual combat. They are the prototype of future deep-space super soldiers, yet they are still no match for superhumans and were brutally killed!"
Qian An, who is over seventy years old, is one of the senior executives of the Qian Group. He has a good relationship with Old Chen, and it was he who brought Old Chen over not long ago.
"We're not the only ones scanning; there are other miniature detectors of unknown origin appearing as well," someone said.
Old Qian nodded. That's understandable. When a superhuman returns to the New Star and makes his first move, it will inevitably attract attention from all sides, who will try every means to get close and obtain first-hand information.
"Someone posted a video, it's The Battle of the Supernatural!" someone exclaimed.
In this era, online information is particularly developed, and there are almost no print media left. They have all long since switched to online operation, and the competition among major platforms is fierce.
Any breaking news or sensational story will be the target of various platforms.
The fact that Chen Yongjie and Old Zhong became extraordinary individuals naturally attracted attention from all sides, who were all trying to find out about them.
Old Zhong was out of luck; he couldn't get close at all. As for Chen Yongjie, he had naturally been targeted long ago.
This time, however, the platforms shouldn't be as quick. Old Chen arrived immediately by spaceship, but only a few conglomerates and organizations caught up; their insect detectors captured blurry videos.
Who leaked the information?
"It is highly likely that someone took the risk to make dirty money and sold the video to the platform privately for an exorbitant price."
Financial tycoons and large organizations acquire firsthand information to research and analyze superhumans; they have no intention of selling information for a pittance.
A blurry video surged to the top of the trending list in just half an hour. Although it's still at the bottom, it should have no problem breaking into the top ten at this rate.
"Is this for real? Who is this young man? Fighting a robot with his bare hands? He must be tired of living."
Many people who watched the video were discussing it and didn't quite believe it.
"That's outrageous! As a professional from the Deep Space Dynamics Research Institute, I can tell you that it's an advanced robot, invincible in single combat. Even human cultivators are no match for it. It can even shoot down small spaceships."
"Three advanced robots, attacking from mid-air, their alloy longswords capable of splitting mountains in two, how could they be defeated by a young man with a buzz cut?"
Most people didn't believe it and still mistook Old Chen for a young man with a buzz cut.
Soon, another blurry video appeared, showing the battle from a different angle.
Furthermore, professional commentators informed people that Chen Yongjie was an extraordinary individual.
"Superhumans can fight against advanced robots—a myth becoming reality?!"
The fact that ordinary people have limited knowledge about extraordinary individuals immediately sparked heated discussions.
Although the image was restored, Old Chen's picture was still blurry, and everyone thought he was a young man. That day, "Honey Badger" became famous.
The general public watched the spectacle, but the true practitioners, as well as the major financial groups and organizations, were deeply concerned and were seriously studying and analyzing the situation.
"Is that what they call extraordinary methods? He used X substance and other things to interfere with and destroy the advanced robots!"
Several large organizations are conducting internal analysis and research on superhumans.
"We've destroyed quite a few of our insect detectors. They're all expensive, sophisticated instruments. It's been too costly to try and capture the presence of superhumans!"
They compared different time periods and locations, and plotted a curve based on the number of insect detectors destroyed by the Super Material released by Chen Yongjie.
Then, they went further and built a model.
"The Super Material surrounding Chen Yongjie contains unknown elements that cannot be analyzed and contain many variables. We still don't have enough data."
Sometimes, when their insect detectors were most severely damaged, Old Chen's combat effectiveness was only average, while at other times it was the complete opposite.
"Among those variables, there is a high probability that Mental Power played an extremely terrifying role!"
In some organizations, individual advisors have stated seriously that they have conducted extensive research on ancient myths and superhumans, and have gleaned a great deal of information from ancient texts and legends.
On online platforms, the battle of the extraordinary caused a sensation and became a hot topic.
Although many people don't really believe it, it has generated a lot of discussion.
"Even a suicide bombing by a high-level robot couldn't kill the crew-cut youth. If that's true, I'd like to start cultivating myself too."
Some people were skeptical, after all, New Arts were beginning to appear on New Star, and it wasn't impossible to believe if there were even more powerful Supernatural Practitioner.
"Hey, another young man has appeared. He didn't make a move. He was incredibly calm in that situation, so he's probably a superhuman too. Could he be the short-haired youth's fellow disciple?!"
People saw Wang Xuan's blurry figure, but they didn't capture the moment he made his move because the interference was too strong at that moment, and the nearby detectors were all destroyed.
Major organizations attached great importance to it and repeatedly studied those blurry images.
"After Wang Xuan appeared, the Super Material emitted by Chen Yongjie suddenly surged dramatically, destroying nearby detectors. It seems he cares a lot about Wang Xuan, most likely considering him a disciple or successor, and is protecting him closely for fear of his safety."
After comparative analysis, they discovered that at that point in time, Super Material erupted like a volcanic eruption, destroying all the expensive detectors in the entire mountain forest!
"Looking at it another way, many ordinary people who have seen the blurry video are asking if the young man who appears later might be a fellow apprentice of the guy with the buzz cut!"
"Is it possible that Wang Xuan is actually... an extremely powerful Supernatural Practitioner? So his appearance caused a massive flood of Super Material, even more terrifying than Chen Yongjie's?!"
"No way, he's just a Grandmaster, so young. If he were an extraordinary being, it would be unimaginable. He'd be even more powerful than the disciples of those great sects in ancient legends."
"If the terrifying Super Material energy that erupted like a volcano at that moment all originated from him, it would definitely be more powerful than Chen Yongjie's. That's unlikely, isn't it?"
Some people took notice of Wang Xuan and began to study him in detail.
In this age of advanced technology, no one can keep all secrets; traces will always be left behind.
After entering the primeval forest, Wang Xuan and Old Chen sped forward, heading towards the Gray Blood organization's true stronghold on the Cloud Mist Plateau.
As expected, there are still extraordinary individuals in the New Arts Domain, and they are right here on New Star. They must have entered the Supernatural Domain before Wang Xuan and Old Chen, and they are hiding very well.
"On Superstar, at the source of the New Arts, is there still a real bigwig?" Old Chen felt that he had underestimated the New Arts before.
Are those people very patient and lying low, waiting to become powerful enough to strike hard against the chaebols?
"Will the zaibatsu be overthrown in the future?"
Wang Xuan said, "Not necessarily. The New Arts Domain has deep cooperation with several financial groups. I suspect that some of these financial groups know about them and control them."
Old Chen immediately became serious. If this was the case, then some financial tycoons were in great danger, possessing warships capable of killing Earth Immortals and having made initial contact with extraordinary powers.
"The major powers of the New Star forces are undergoing dramatic changes. In the end, some organizations will likely become increasingly terrifying, while others may decline and be divided up by others."
Some conglomerates are still thinking about acquiring supernatural flesh and blood for analysis.
Some conglomerates are suspected of having already taken control of a small number of extraordinary individuals, and are ambitiously accumulating unconventional power.
The two appeared three hundred miles away, arriving at a key location of the Gray Blood organization.
"It's a bit troublesome. There are many Micro Mechs and various scanning devices. There are also a lot of surveillance equipment here. If we get too close, we will be detected."
They extended their mental domain and discovered that the forest was densely packed with various miniature instruments.
"You keep my physical body, I'll use my spirit to investigate!" Wang Xuan said.
Upon hearing this, Old Chen remained silent for a moment. He could also have his mind wander, but he didn't want to try running several miles like that; it would be exhausting.
After all, they haven't yet reached the true Great Realm of Carefree Journey, and it's impossible for them to Morning in the North Sea, Evening in Cangwu. At this stage, it's more appropriate for them to linger in the vicinity.
"Are you sure you can run several miles?"
Wang Xuan had not tested his limits either, and said, "I'll give it a try."
Then, he sat down cross-legged and his mind left his body. Fortunately, he did not see any strange or terrifying sights in the dense forest.
With a whoosh, Wang Xuan disappeared into the distance. His spirit left his body and moved with lightning speed, ignoring the monitoring equipment, before finally disappearing underground.
The base was vast. After traveling three miles, Wang Xuan had only explored a portion of the area, but he was already finding it quite difficult.
He felt very tired after going four miles.
After going five miles further, he dared not take any more risks and became drowsy, which was not a good sign.
The vast underground project contains numerous biological laboratories filled with monsters, some of which are species from the secret realm, while others are completely unfamiliar.
Some laboratories are quite bloody, using living people as experimental subjects, and in one area, a large number of human bones have been piled up.
If this gets out, it will definitely cause a media storm. The Gray Blood organization doesn't care about human lives at all and conducts all kinds of human experiments indiscriminately.
In addition, there are various training camps that train assassins.
There are also specialized robot teams with formidable armed forces; once unleashed, they can easily destroy an entire area.
There is also a spaceship area underground, where some small spaceships are parked.
Wang Xuan's spirit returned to his physical body. He gasped for breath, quickly drank from the Earth Immortal Spring, and then circulated the strongest scripture. This was even more tiring than fighting a major battle.
"To prevent them from destroying everything, we must destroy several key areas as soon as we break in, and we must quickly take over several control rooms."
"Just charge in like that?"
"Let's see if pure supernatural power can wipe this place out!"
"Alright then, kill them!"
Ultimately, the two completely shook their spiritual energy and released extraordinary energy, destroying all nearby detectors, not wanting to leave any images behind.
With a deafening roar, they stormed into the underground base. This time, they showed no mercy. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the so-called assassins were swept away like scarecrows.
Snap!
After the lightning strike, a group of robots were reduced to scrap metal.
"Kill!"
Soon after, a huge explosion was heard underground, and some control rooms were destroyed.
There were more than a dozen advanced robots, who immediately led a densely packed team of ordinary robots, resembling a steel jungle, as they rushed over and opened fire with High-Energy Weapon.
Unfortunately, the underground bunkers were numerous and the terrain was winding, making it difficult for them to cover the two men with firepower immediately.
After the two went all out, it was incredibly terrifying. Countless robots flashed with energy sparks, and their internal precision chips were torn apart.
From a distance, the steel jungle stood frozen in place, completely motionless.
Boom!
Energy cannons opened fire in the underground base, disregarding the various underground facilities, and frantically attacked the area where the two were located.
The underground area was vast with many roads. The two transformed into killing gods, slaughtering any members of the Gray Blood organization they encountered, stealthily moving forward at top speed and crushing their way through.
On this day, the Gray Blood organization's Tenth District was stained with blood, and countless assassins from the training camps were killed.
Some people started up small spaceships to try to escape; they simply couldn't believe they had to flee in such a pathetic manner on their home turf.
Boom!
A massive explosion occurred in the area. Old Chen hurled the paralyzed advanced robots out, detonating their energy devices and causing the small spaceship area to erupt in terrifying flames.
"There are no gods here? No extraordinary beings here!"
The two swept across the ground, not wanting to linger for too long, their destructive power was truly astonishing.
When Wang Xuan found his target, Zheng Hui could hardly believe his eyes. Wang Xuan activated a flying sword, which shredded the robots around him like a bolt of lightning!
That cold light was like the sun falling into the ground, bursting forth with incomparably brilliant brilliance. Wherever it passed, even the thick alloy doors could not be stopped; they were cleaved open and shredded.
After capturing him and two higher-ranking members of the Gray Blood organization, Wang Xuan and Old Chen rushed to the surface and set a timer to detonate the underground weapons depot.
"I'm exhausted!" Old Chen gasped for breath, his body burning hot, Super Material energy spreading out, and he felt completely drained.
Because of this thunderous attack, his mental and physical realms erupted simultaneously, destroying everything in their path, not only killing the enemy but also damaging the detectors.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui and the two high-ranking officials were shocked and cursed, "You destroyed a base, are you just tired?!"
Wang Xuan was also exhausted. This time, his full power was unleashed, no less than a true extraordinary battle!
Boom!
The Gray Blood organization's 10th District, a crucial base, was completely destroyed in a massive explosion.
On this day, when the major conglomerates and organizations of New Star first received the news, they were all extremely shocked!
