A month later, Upper Capital Base training ground.
Su Xiao and the other eight trainees looked as though they had been fished out of the water.
They lay sprawled on the training ground, which had been paved with specially engineered energy-buffering material, their chests heaving violently.
Even their fingers twitched slightly from extreme overexertion.
Yet blazing flames burned in their eyes—the exhilaration of witnessing a miracle.
Just moments ago, the nine of them, centered around Tian Jianguo's command, had completed a coordinated long-range Flying Thunder God teleportation!

The platform had been constructed from a composite of ultra-pure special alloy and wave-absorbing materials.
Dense arrays of high-precision monitoring equipment of every conceivable shape stood around it.
More than a hundred experts and officers from spatial physics teams, energy engineering teams, biological effects teams, and military representatives from across the country.
They had been waiting there for a long time. The atmosphere was frozen with tension, broken only by the faint electronic hum of operating
