"."
Deathly silence enveloped the space around the few people, with only the increasingly loud roar of the helicopter's rotors echoing in their ears.
The smile on Li Zhenguo's face froze instantly, and all his subsequent words were stuck in his throat.
Nie Chang, Liu Qiying and others were also stunned in place, almost thinking that they heard wrongly.
Xia Kingdom had dealt with the intermediate Nest elite Abyss Beast. The military paid such a heavy price, but it was not Leader Rank that was killed.
Lin Yi looked at the expressions of several people who were almost shocked and speechless. For fear of causing misunderstanding, he quickly added, "However, with my current total amount of Source Energy, if I want to kill a Abyss Beast of that level, I will use all my strength to barely manage to deliver one blow."
"After one hit, Source Energy will be exhausted."
Li Zhenguo was silent for a moment. Finally, he patted Lin Yi on the shoulder again. This time, the force was surprisingly strong.
"Okay! What a moment!" His voice was even a little hoarse, "I understand, that's enough! This has completely exceeded our highest expectations!"
Afterwards, Li Zhenguo said no more. He turned around and strode towards the transport helicopter, his pace even a little hurried, as if he couldn't wait to bring this amazing news back.
Nie Chang and others also recovered from the extreme shock, and the eyes they looked at Lin Yi were a little different from before.
The helicopter door slowly closed, the rotor speed reached its peak, and the huge body rose from the ground. Surrounded by four armed helicopters, it quickly climbed up and flew towards the north.
--
Within Emerald Whisper Starship, Irelia was not immersed in cultivation as usual.
She was sitting in front of the control console, carefully checking the recent situation report on Blue Star Civilization that was updated simultaneously by Xingyu.
The report records in detail the initial operation of Global Union and the gradual stabilization of each settlement. Everything seems to be developing in a positive direction.
At this moment, her smart Little Sprite Xingyu, with a brighter and more cheerful halo flashing around it than usual, flew out of the console and flew lightly around Irelia.
"Master, master!" Xingyu's voice was obviously excited, "There is another good news in the latest data synchronized from Master Xu Chen's spacecraft!"
"Good news again?" Irelia was slightly startled, and his expression was dazed for a moment.
Good news. Good news again.
Since the Blue Star Civilization Assessment officially started, good news seems to be coming one after another.
First, the incredible individual Lin Yi appeared, revealed Guidance Technique, quickly promoted, and killed the leader.
Then Blue Star Civilization responded quickly as a whole, established a consortium, achieved two precious milestones, and the points skyrocketed.
All this is in too sharp contrast with the news that came from her distant hometown - Cuiwei Star Domain during her past thousands of years of guardianship.
In her memory, messages from her hometown always seemed to be cast in a dark shadow.
Either a remote territory of the family was invaded by a neighbor, or the caravan that had been painstakingly managed was attacked by ferocious star thieves on the route and suffered heavy losses, or a certain respected elder of the family was inexplicably provoked and invited to fight while out, and returned seriously injured.
Even those guests and worshipers who had been invited at great cost, some did not even wait for the expiration of the contract, and then found excuses to leave, not wanting to be too involved with the declining family.
Bad news seemed to be the theme she heard most often in her long life.
Irelia shook his head vigorously, as if trying to get rid of those complicated and frustrating thoughts from his mind.
She raised her head and looked at the lively Xingyu. A slight smile formed on her lips again, and she guessed in a gentle tone. "Xingyu, what's the good news? Could it be that our Blue Star Civilization has reached a new milestone?"
She subconsciously did not think about Lin Yi.
After all, that young human had just demonstrated his initial control over Metal Element Rule in "Dawn Operation" more than twenty days ago, and he had officially entered the threshold of Star Core Level.
Although his talent can be called a monster, the in-depth understanding of the rules becomes more difficult and obscure the further you go, requiring time and opportunity.
What's more, the accumulation of the total amount of Source Energy is a long-term effort, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.
In Irelia's view, Lin Yi's ability to reach Star Core's preliminary and perfect understanding of the rules in a short period of time is already the limit.
Therefore, the first thing she thought of was that Blue Star Civilization as a whole had achieved some kind of breakthrough collective achievement.
However, Xingyu's little head shook like a rattle, with a hint of pride in his voice. "Master guessed wrong~"
As a spacecraft intelligence, for a long time, every time Xingyu reported to its master, it almost always brought bad news, either an early warning or indifferent daily data.
This puts Xingyu under a lot of pressure. After all, she is not a pure machine without emotions.
Therefore, the continuous good news recently has made Little Sprite become a lot more lively and cheerful.
"It's Lin Yi that you are most concerned about!" Xingyu blinked his big eyes made of light particles and said cheerfully, "According to the evaluation of the information just synchronized, he made it public about an hour ago On certain occasions, methods such as 'Rule Manifestation' and 'Rule Imprinting' were successfully used. Now after analysis and verification, it is confirmed that the level of understanding of the rules has reached the Star Vortex Rank standard."
"And." Xingyu paused, seeming to emphasize that the following information was more important, "Because he has achieved this breakthrough and met two new personal assessment milestones, his current personal assessment level has been officially upgraded to level 3!"
???
A series of messages hit him like a gust of wind, directly confusing Irelia.
Her clear emerald green eyes widened instantly, and she was a little dazed for a moment.
Rule Manifestation? Rule Imprinting? reach Star Vortex Rank?!
It's only been a few days?!
It takes less than a month to get full!
From initially mastering the rules to stabilizing Star Vortex Rank insights?
I. It took me more than seven hundred years to get promoted Star Vortex Rank!
How did he, Lin Yi a Source Energy a rudimentary civilized human being in a barren zone, do it?!
"Detailed data! Xingyu, call up the detailed data and recorded images immediately!" Irelia's voice had a hint of urgency.
"Yes, Master!" Xingyu waved his small hand, and a clear virtual light screen immediately unfolded in front of Irelia.
The processed picture starts to play quickly on the screen.
Lin Yi's speech at the opening ceremony, the sudden silence, the terrifying purple arc lingering around him, and the subsequent amazing demonstration that condensed Thunder Dragon and left traces on stone
Irelia stared closely at the picture, especially the details of Lin Yi's falling into a state of emptiness and the subsequent power to control the rules.
Seeing this, she suddenly understood.
"It turns out that I fell into a state of enlightenment. No wonder."
Irelia whispered to himself, his tense heartstrings relaxing a little.
If it is an epiphany, then the leap in understanding of the rules is somewhat understandable.
Because she has experienced this kind of epiphany before and knows what it feels like.
That was a long time ago, when the family suffered successive blows and was in a difficult situation.
Her grandmother, against all odds, decided to spend the few remaining important resources of the family and let her go to the Human Race territory, which was not only a first-line opportunity, but also a retreat.
When Irelia was about to leave on the spaceship, she turned back to look at the family's main star, which was gradually getting smaller and emitting soft green light. All kinds of emotions came to her heart, including worry about her family, confusion about the future, and unwillingness to be weak.
Under the impact of various emotions, she unexpectedly fell into a brief epiphany.
It was that brief epiphany that made her Life Rule perception, which had been stuck for a long time, directly increase from 21% to 48%, completing an astonishing leap from Star Nebula second level to Star Nebula fourth level, and also laid a more solid foundation for her subsequent path.
To sum it up, judging from the detailed feedback data, Lin Yi's rule awareness level during this epiphany is about 12%, which has just passed the 10% threshold.
"From 1% Star Core Level, it increased by 11% in one go. We passed the big threshold of 10% rule awareness, and we have entered Star Vortex Rank."
Irelia looked at the data panel carefully and calculated quickly in his mind, "Although it took just one month to reach Star Nebula, the speed is really shocking, but in terms of the length of enlightenment and the extent of improvement, it seems that it is not as much as my time?"
This discovery made Irelia, who was in extreme shock, breathe a sigh of relief and even felt a subtle sense of comfort.
She finally has one thing that is slightly better than this evil young man Human Race.
However, as soon as Irelia had the idea of "enlightenment that the improvement was not as good as hers" in her mind, she immediately became alert, and then she felt a burst of self-blame.
"Irelia!" She pinched her face hard and scolded herself in her heart, "What you should look forward to most now is for Lin Yi to perform better and grow faster. This is directly related to whether you can complete your mission and even the future of the ethnic group. How can you have such a sense of unnecessary comparison!"
"And"
Irelia looked at Lin Yi's 12% rule awareness on the data panel and realized a key factor that had been ignored.
time!
"Perhaps his short enlightenment time is not due to lack of talent, but because his practice time is too short and his accumulation is not deep enough?"
Irelia secretly thought to herself that her own epiphany was based on more than seven hundred years of accumulated practice, family inheritance, and the extreme emotional impact of facing major life changes.
Even so, the duration of that epiphany, if converted into Blue Star time, was only about five minutes.
And what about Lin Yi?
It was full of calculations, from the time I came into contact with Source Energy to now, it has only been thirty days! Thirty days of accumulation can actually trigger an epiphany of the rules that lasts three minutes?!
After such a conversion and comparison, Irelia suddenly felt that his talent was ridiculously mediocre in front of Lin Yi.
The faint sense of superiority that had just arisen regarding the time and growth of enlightenment disappeared in an instant.
What replaced it was a deep sense of powerlessness.
