Chapter 263: The Attack (In Honor of the Righteous Alliance Leader!)
White Bird Star.
In the sky above a desolate mountain, a meteor suddenly appeared, trailing fire and growing larger...
Finally, it crashed into the mountain with a loud boom.
Bang!
Like a comet colliding with Earth, countless rocks were scattered.
A huge crater appeared on the mountain, and a golden battle armor emerged from it. Numerous golden components transformed into feather-like shapes and returned to the 'Sun God Wings', revealing Fang Xing's figure.
"Hmm... This defense is pretty good, definitely top-notch among the Seventh Rank armors..."
Fang Xing patted his chest and said, "The comfort level is also acceptable."
He intentionally fell from space to test the armor.
Now, it seemed that all the data was quite impressive, and it was indeed a luxurious version.
...
As one of the most influential individuals on White Bird Star, Fang Xing naturally didn't have to worry about his accommodations.
In fact, even before his arrival, Davis and the others had taken care of everything. They gave him a small island in the ocean with an area of over 30,000 square kilometers and built numerous villas on it.
In the morning, the distant ocean was a vast expanse of blue, and the calls of seagulls could be heard.
Fang Xing wore beach shorts, sunglasses, and held a fruit similar to a coconut in his hand, occasionally taking a sip of its juice.
"It's great to vacation here; this is what life is all about..."
"This 'Star River Island' is quite large; we can even build many factories on it..."
He had already taken care of the company registration, and although it was just a shell company for now, it had all the necessary qualifications. The company was named 'Star Sea Corporation'.
The company's registered address was on Star River Island, and they had also used intelligent agricultural robots to cultivate many experimental fields, preparing to introduce species from the Martial World.
"Of course, there's no rush for these things... The doctoral program is 20 years long."
Fang Xing tossed the fruit peel in his hand and prepared to go fishing. In the afternoon, he could even go surfing.
...
Several days later.
In Flying Bird City, on a bustling commercial street.
Ouyang Qianqian was shopping with her close friend.
Even on an educational planet like Eagle Star, there were still bustling commercial areas.
As a logistics planet, White Bird Star had a population of several billion, and its commerce was thriving.
Ouyang Qianqian rarely had a vacation with her close friend, so she wanted to relax properly.
"Qianqian... I heard that you were on welcoming duty last time. Who was the important guest?"
Her friend asked curiously from the side.
If it were someone else, they might have already been talking about it non-stop. But Ouyang Qianqian hadn't said a word since returning, was she bullied?
Or... did she get involved in some scandal?
Her friend's expression turned serious.
"It's not like that..."
Ouyang Qianqian shook her head, and Fang Xing's figure seemed to appear before her eyes again.
Although they were classmates, she always seemed to be chasing his shadow, yet he was getting farther and farther away.
When did all this start? She suddenly felt a bit lost.
Suddenly!
A young man walked towards them. He looked to be around twenty years old, wearing a white shirt and had a bright smile.
"Ladies, would you like to give me a chance and have a meal together?"
Fang Xing laughed.
"You? I guess that's not a bad idea..." Her friend sized up Fang Xing and asked, "Handsome guy, what's your name?"
"Alright..."
Ouyang Qianqian was speechless and pulled her friend, "This is my classmate - Fang Xing! And this is my comrade - Ji Weiwei!"
Ji Weiwei had a pair of expressive eyes and was sizing up Fang Xing, "High school classmates, childhood friends?"
They were both high school graduates, so they couldn't be university classmates.
"We weren't exactly childhood friends, but we are friends, I guess... I'm not sure if Fang Xing still recognizes me, though."
Ouyang Qianqian looked at Fang Xing, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.
"Haha... There were too many people the other day, and I'm sure you didn't want to be the center of attention. Isn't this a special invitation to make up for it?"
Fang Xing laughed.
Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land was indeed a delightful thing.
Fang Xing, who was planning to explore White Bird Star, didn't mind having a meal with a classmate.
"Fine, you're quite perceptive... I want to go to 'Thousand Flavor Tower'."
Ouyang Qianqian hummed.
"Qianqian, you're so ruthless... 'Thousand Flavor Tower' is the most high-end restaurant on White Bird Star, and it's quite far from here. You need to make a reservation in advance, and even then, it's not guaranteed..."
Ji Weiwei stuck out her tongue.
"No problem, ladies."
Fang Xing snapped his fingers, and above the three of them, a private spaceship that had been invisible suddenly appeared, shimmering in the light of the stars with its blue paint.
"A private spaceship?"
Ji Weiwei suddenly fell silent.
This old classmate of Ouyang Qianqian's seemed to have an extraordinary identity.
Was he the heir of some wealthy family? In her mind, countless dramatic scenarios flashed.
A beam of light descended, transporting Fang Xing, Ouyang Qianqian, and Ji Weiwei into the cabin.
Ouyang Qianqian curiously surveyed the surroundings, while Ji Weiwei quickly searched online. Suddenly, she let out a shriek, "You're that new big shot? The Federal Security Advisor?! Oh my... No wonder Ouyang Qianqian didn't want to say anything after she returned."
"Indeed, it's me," Fang Xing replied with a smile, opening a cabinet. "Soda or something stronger?"
"Soda, please," Ouyang Qianqian said with a smile. "Weiwei, don't be fooled by his wealth now... In high school, he was always working part-time, and even buying a bottle of soda after school was a big deal for him."
"Yeah..." Fang Xing fetched sodas for the two women and opened one for himself as well. "Now, I can drink whatever I want, but..."
"But you can't go back to the past, right?" Ji Weiwei's big eyes sparkled, as if searching for clues between Fang Xing and Ouyang Qianqian.
"Haha, you're wrong, but I've discovered that there are many more enjoyable things... The happiness of the wealthy is beyond your imagination."
Fang Xing burst into laughter, enjoying Ji Weiwei's deflated expression.
Even Ouyang Qianqian couldn't help but smile, "You're still as annoying as before!"
Fang Xing smiled in response and chatted with Ouyang Qianqian about her military service.
"That's how it is. I've been working in logistics, luckily without much danger..." Ouyang Qianqian explained, "Since interstellar travel is so expensive, I've only been able to return to Eagle Star once in all these years... I even visited my alma mater, and Principal Liu Guangming has been reassigned. Now, Teacher Xia Long is the principal... By the way, Teacher Xia Long has broken through the Martial Golden Core."
"The Martial Golden Core, huh... Not bad," Fang Xing nodded.
"What about you?" Ouyang Qianqian asked curiously, "How's Blue Star University?"
"It's okay... I went straight to university, broke through the Martial Golden Core, and was accepted into graduate school... Recently, I was fortunate enough to break through the Diamond Realm and started my doctoral studies. I came to White Bird Star to work on a research project and also started a company to earn some Star Essence."
Fang Xing downplayed his achievements.
Ji Weiwei, sitting beside them, shot a look at Ouyang Qianqian, as if saying, 'Why didn't you tell me about such an impressive classmate?'
Ouyang Qianqian shook her head, "Getting into university is great... If Liu Wei were still here, he would be happy for you too."
"Liu Wei..."
At this point, Fang Xing fell silent.
After going undercover and becoming a member of the Gate Sect, he had gained access to much information about the Demon God Sect.
He was well aware of the Demon God Sect's previous collaboration with the Resistance Army, and how Liu Wei had tricked them badly.
The Federation even managed to capture a complete Spatial Bubble, one that contained the technological laws! This discovery had greatly improved the defense against attacks from the Numerical Space in recent years.
However, Liu Wei's identity was somewhat awkward. According to rumors, he should have been recruited by the Academy of Sciences, serving as a semi-outsider and semi-experimental subject for the Federation, which was a way to partially clear his name.
But his status remained awkward, and they had never met.
'The Academy of Sciences' Magnetic Warrior... It's also a path with the potential to surpass the Martial God Realm, ever since the emergence of the Virtual Universe. The era of great competition in martial arts has arrived...'
'I wonder how many will eventually break through to the Martial God Realm and beyond?' Fang Xing pondered silently.
...
The Thousand Flavor Tower was located in Luxury City, one of the most prosperous commercial cities on White Bird Star.
Upon entering the city, not only Ji Weiwei but even Ouyang Qianqian became excited, gazing around in wonder.
For them, traveling by starship and being able to go anywhere on the planet within a short time was a novel experience.
Usually, during their military leave, they would only dare to wander around nearby cities. This time, they were truly broadening their horizons.
"Hmm, not bad. Some of the shops here are quite interesting," Fang Xing remarked as he walked down the street, nodding slightly.
For someone who had already experienced the capital's prosperity, even the most vibrant commercial city on White Bird Star was only mildly interesting.
"Alright, let's head to the Thousand Flavor Tower... I've heard that the head chef used to run a restaurant in Blue Star, so I hope I won't be disappointed..."
Fang Xing smiled.
Ji Weiwei, for some reason, suddenly felt a twinge of insecurity, and she also understood her good friend's feelings.
Having such an impressive old classmate indeed put a lot of pressure on her.
...
While Fang Xing was catching up with his old classmate over a meal, the Security Bureau was on high alert.
A piercing red alarm sounded.
"Here we go again," Jiang Yueru grumbled as she checked the monitors. "Weren't the Academy of Sciences supposed to have deciphered the Demon God's technology, allowing more technological weapons to be used in the Numerical Space battlefield? Why are we still getting breached so often?"
Whenever the defenses in the Numerical Space failed, the Demon God's minions would descend upon the Federation's heartland.
White Bird Star was one of the more important targets, and every attack was significant.
A projection of a planet appeared, with seven prominent red dots on its surface.
"There are actually seven locations? Energy reactions... four Servant-level and three Clan-level?"
"Immediately mobilize the nearby garrison and security forces!"
Jiang Yuer ordered while transforming into a beam of golden light and ascending into the air.
Rumble!
Below, the open-air swimming pool tilted, and the bottom opened. Countless streams of water fell as a white humanoid mech rose from the pool's bottom.
Jiang Yuer entered the mech and headed towards the nearest Clan-level attack site: "Davis, Old Lin... the other two are up to you."
A Servant-level attack would certainly be handled by the various responding forces.
The problem was the Clan-level evil creatures!
"Relax, I'm already on the move!"
A steady voice of a middle-aged man echoed.
"I'm on the scene, damn... I need a little time. It's an Upper Clan-level evil creature—the Void Hound. It's very troublesome, and I've already gathered the mech pilots to surround it..."
Davis's voice came through.
Jiang Yuer knew this guy had a rapid response mech pilot unit, all equipped with Seventh Realm mechs. Although she wasn't satisfied with his character, she was confident he could handle emergencies.
The white mech moved like a streak of light and arrived at the incident location in dozens of seconds.
Above a city, countless steel structures lay in ruins, with strands of silk sticking to the ground and even piercing through the professionals who came to assist.
The Clan-level evil creature that should have appeared was nowhere to be seen.
"Something's not right... activate the 'Super Vision Module'!"
Jiang Yuer snorted, and two beams of dark light suddenly appeared in the mech's eyes.
Immediately, a white 'giant cocoon' appeared in the video above the city!
It was oval-shaped, resembling a silkworm cocoon, beautiful and dreamlike, yet invisible to the human eye.
For those who could see it, a strange message emerged in their minds, spreading corrupting words...
"Dream Cocoon... an Upper Clan-level pure spirit entity!"
"It can't be allowed to hatch!"
Jiang Yuer manipulated the mech to raise its right arm, and a blade of light instantly appeared.
As the head of the Prevention Bureau and a Vajra Realm expert, the mech she piloted was, of course, a luxury PLUS version of the Seventh Realm.
At its peak, it could unleash the power of the Eighth Realm!
Unfortunately, her university grades were not ideal, and she failed to master the cultivation will secret rune, making it difficult to fully utilize the mech's capabilities, let alone use its killing moves.
Even so, she was still a peak Seventh Realm force when piloting the mech.
"Spiritual Blade!"
The white giant mech figure flashed in the void, and the blade of light, carrying a destructive intent, was about to strike.
But in the next instant, a sword beam rose from somewhere, intercepting the Spiritual Blade before it could land.
Several strange figures, resembling moths, appeared in the void, each holding an alloy longsword, charging towards Jiang Yuer.
"They are the former security officers..."
"They are completely corrupted, beyond saving!"
A red light flashed in Jiang Yuer's eyes, and she swung her longsword.
The blade's light was cold and carried a powerful killing intent, slicing a moth-like creature into pieces.
Buzz!
The sound of wing vibrations echoed.
A sword beam emerged from one of the moth-like creatures, but it was only at the ordinary Seventh Realm level.
However, multiple sword beams rose in succession, vibrating together to form a specific frequency.
This 'frequency' penetrated the white mech and entered Jiang Yuer's body.
She suddenly knew that this was a sword technique called 'Moth Sword,' whose essence lay in capturing a certain mysterious vibration frequency...
"No... this is the corruption of an evil god!"
"My Martial Dao Will will not allow it!"
A sharp light flashed in Jiang Yuer's eyes as she looked at her hand, which had already grown a layer of brown fuzz similar to a moth's body, forming the shape of an eye.
"Requesting backup!"
She immediately called for help from all the experts in her contact list. This Dream Cocoon was definitely not ordinary.
...
Qianwei Tower.
Fang Xing, who was eating, suddenly paused and looked at Ou Yang Qianqian and Ji Weiwei: "Sorry... I have an urgent matter to attend to."
"Go ahead, take care of it," Ou Yang Qianqian said understandingly.
Ji Weiwei, who was stuffed with food, didn't have the time to object.
"I've already paid the bill. After you finish eating, you can have Xiao Lan fly you back..."
Fang Xing flew out of the window, and a pair of golden wings immediately shot out from the spaceship and landed on his back.
Countless nanometals enveloped his entire body, as if cloaking him in a magnificent and imposing golden armor.
"Solar God's Wings, activate!"
Fang Xing's wings spread, and he looked like a golden angel or a golden meteor, vanishing from sight in an instant...
