They began flying toward the planet, preparing to commence the landing operation.
Ji Yuan hurried over as well, ready to carry out his duties.
Chapter 39: Women Get a Punch Too!
The final resistance before landing was the anti-aircraft cannons deployed across the satellites surrounding the entire planet.
Unfortunately, the battle outside had already been completely lost. The anti-aircraft cannons were far slower than the Star Skiffs. Before they could even fire, they were all destroyed by the Luofu's pilots. The Star Skiffs fully entered the Orion Trading Company's headquarters planet.
Once the Star Skiffs entered, the Cloud Knights began preparing to land and fight.
Ji Yuan did not land with the troops immediately. After all, they were not combat personnel. Compared to fighting, they had more important matters to attend to.
Their ship flew toward a small satellite beside the planet.
Before a secure ground fortress could be established, Ji Yuan needed to conduct the first round of identification here.
When they reached the satellite, there had originally been a small trading company base here. However, it had already been destroyed before Ji Yuan's Star Skiff arrived.
By the time Ji Yuan and the others arrived, the place was completely deserted.
"We'll wait here for now. They'll send the suspicious items over shortly. When that happens, I'll leave the identification work to you, Big Brother."
After contacting the other side, Yanqing spoke to Ji Yuan.
"Mm."
Ji Yuan nodded.
Next, it was time to determine whether those prisoners and spoils were Abundance Fiends. This was also a good chance to vent properly.
After what had happened on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, the Cloud Knights strongly suspected that those Buli Ren had been biologically modifying their own bodies. Whether they had turned themselves into objects or simply modified themselves to look human, both were possible.
After all, the identification process was about to begin.
Rubbing his fists, Ji Yuan revealed a ferocious smile.
"W-what is Teacher going to do?"
Huohuo tugged at Sushang and asked quietly.
Seeing that expression on her teacher's face, she fearfully took several steps back.
"How would I know what my brother wants to do?"
Sushang spread her hands. She was equally confused about what her brother intended to do. Ji Yuan's method for identifying Abundance Fiends was not a family tradition, so naturally she knew nothing about it.
Still, she agreed with Huohuo. "But... it really does seem terrifying."
What exactly was he going to do?
No one knew.
After waiting for a while, the Cloud Knights escorted over the first batch of prisoners.
The lead Cloud Knight said to Ji Yuan, "Lord Ji, these are members of the Orion Trading Company who were captured. Our captain specifically ordered me to bring them here for your identification."
There were so many people in the Orion Trading Company.
"Alright, I understand. Wait a moment. I'll identify them right away. Oh, and when I return, I'll suggest to the General that these shape-shifting Buli Ren not be killed so easily. Instead, they should be escorted back to the Luofu and experimented on for a few hundred years."
Ji Yuan kneaded his fists as he spoke to the Cloud Knight.
That last part was important. It was what determined the efficiency of his identification process.
"Huh!?"
The Cloud Knight froze. By then, Ji Yuan had already walked up to the first prisoner.
The prisoner was a tall, powerfully built man. Judging by his outfit, he should have been a guard of the Orion Trading Company. At that moment, he glared viciously at Ji Yuan.
His gaze was full of disdain, as if he wanted to see how Ji Yuan could possibly identify him.
Then, he saw Ji Yuan raise his fist.
"Here you go!"
Ji Yuan punched him squarely in the head.
Bang!
The sound was incredibly loud, making everyone present shudder.
The burly man was stunned by the blow.
Ji Yuan carefully observed the message transmitted by the system.
You beat up a rotten corpse. Reward: autopsy...
"Take him away. This one is human."
Ji Yuan waved his hand.
The Cloud Knights immediately got to work. Although they were deeply puzzled by Ji Yuan's method of judgment, their superior had instructed them beforehand that everything here was to be handled according to Ji Yuan's orders.
The beaten burly man shouted angrily at Ji Yuan, "Kid, you're insulting me!"
"Then I'll classify you as a Buli Ren and send you straight off for human experimentation."
Ji Yuan spoke without changing expression.
At that, the burly man instantly fell silent.
"I-I am willing to obey the arrangements. You were right to hit me."
The burly man hurriedly said with an ingratiating smile.
The Cloud Knights then took him away.
For people who had colluded with Abundance Fiends but were not Abundance Fiends themselves, the Luofu would not execute them all unless they were the chief culprits. They would only be taken away for reform, then released after turning over a new leaf.
"Come on, let me see the second one."
The second prisoner looked at Ji Yuan with a fawning expression.
"That guy just now had no sense. Don't worry, I'll definitely cooperate properly."
"You'll cooperate properly?"
"Yes."
He nodded seriously.
Then—
Ji Yuan swung his fist and punched him in the head too.
Bang!
A few seconds passed.
"Take him away. He's not a Buli Ren either."
The Cloud Knights took the second man away.
After that, the third and fourth prisoners came before Ji Yuan. No matter what they said or how they behaved, Ji Yuan would walk up, punch them once, and get his answer.
"W-what kind of method is this!?"
Yanqing stared in utter amazement.
He had truly never heard of or seen such an identification technique before.
Huohuo fearfully hid directly behind Sushang, then quietly asked, "C-Changchang, i-if I can't learn properly in the future, w-will Teacher hit me like that too?"
"Probably not."
Sushang answered uncertainly.
"Waa..."
Seeing Sushang's uncertain expression, Huohuo could not help whimpering.
This was far too terrifying.
Tingyun could not help trembling as well.
She was delicate and frail. She could not take many hits like that.
Ji Yuan punched his way through the entire line, and every prisoner received one punch from him. The surrounding Cloud Knights looked at Ji Yuan as though he were some kind of pervert.
Especially since Ji Yuan's expression was becoming increasingly cold and indifferent.
It was not really Ji Yuan's fault. Every time he beat someone, they turned out to be corpses, and the rewards were always autopsy experience. As he struck people, scenes of autopsies flashed through his mind one after another. Anyone's eyes would become cold after that.
It continued until the very last person, a woman wearing a combat suit.
At that moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Surely he could not bear to hit such a delicate, beautiful woman, right?
Ji Yuan was stunned when he saw that she was a woman.
After pausing for three seconds, he punched her in the stomach again.
Hmm, since you're a woman, I won't hit your face.
I'll hit your stomach instead.
What a pervert!
The Cloud Knights all thought in unison.
At that moment, two voices sounded in Ji Yuan's mind simultaneously.
You beat up a corpse. Reward: autopsy experience +1 You viciously beat up a Buli Ren modifier. Reward: strength +1
A Buli Ren!?
Ji Yuan looked at the female warrior, and his expression gradually turned strange.
Chapter 40: Strip Her Clothes for Me!
"Come on, strip off her clothes. Leave nothing on."
Ji Yuan ordered the Cloud Knights beside him.
His words were like a boulder crashing into water from a great height, stirring up enormous waves.
Everyone present looked shocked.
Especially the female warrior before him. Her face changed from the pallor caused by Ji Yuan's punch to an embarrassed, furious flush. Covering her chest with both hands, she shouted at Ji Yuan, "Y-you, what are you trying to do!?"
Her strength suddenly increased, and she staggered several steps backward in succession. Even the Cloud Knights could barely restrain her.
The Cloud Knights also looked troubled. One of them walked up to Ji Yuan and quietly said, "L-Lord Ji, we are a proper military force."
Those kinds of things were what evil bandits did. The Cloud Knights would never do such things.
Even though they had been ordered beforehand to follow his instructions, this was simply against the Cloud Knights' principles. They truly could not do it.
Clearly, they had gotten the wrong idea.
"Big Brother, this..."
Yanqing also tried to persuade Ji Yuan with a troubled expression.
Sushang directly came over and grabbed Ji Yuan.
"Big Brother, I tolerated you hitting the prisoners a few times before, but I absolutely won't stand by and watch you do something like this."
She wore the righteous expression of someone trying to stop her own brother from going down the wrong path.
"T-Teacher..."
Huohuo trembled as she tried to step forward and stop Ji Yuan too.
Her teacher was so outstanding. He absolutely, absolutely could not make a mistake.
But just as she was about to act, she felt a force stopping her from behind. Huohuo turned around and discovered that it was her tail.
