Chapter 773: Breaking the Old Order

Wan Yunsan eagerly took the relic and rushed out of the airship cabin. He then leaped off the balcony on one side, and the high-altitude air currents instantly rushed in, causing the surrounding furniture to sway.

The deputy officer quickly went up to close the cabin door, and the cabin immediately returned to its peaceful state.

Xue Shou turned to look at Chen Chuan and asked, "Chen, have you broken through your limits?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "This time, I have to thank Teacher Xue for his guidance."

Xue Shou smiled, "That's all your own cultivation. I might have played a guiding role at most."

"It's not just that."

Chen Chuan spoke seriously, "Before encountering danger, Teacher Xue also guided me and taught me some unique techniques, which allowed me to break through more smoothly."

Hearing this, Xue Shou's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded.

Previously, when he sent a mental force to protect Chen Chuan, it was to help him avoid danger. However, that mental force had no connection with his physical body unless it could be brought back and merged with him, or he wouldn't know the details of what happened.

But since Chen Chuan said so, he could guess the situation because the mental force was consistent with his will and behavior patterns. The way the mental force acted was likely how he would have acted if he were there in person.

Yao Zhiyi, standing nearby, spoke up, "Teacher Xue's guidance was excellent. It has added another fighter to Jinbei Province's Central City. Chen played a significant role in this operation, single-handedly defeating Wei Guo Chan."

Xue Shou was a bit surprised. He had taught Chen Chuan and was aware of his basic situation. He had expected Chen Chuan to become a fighter, but for him to immediately rival Wei Guo Chan after his breakthrough was not an easy feat.

However, it wasn't too exaggerated either. Xue Shou had confronted Wei Guo Chan before and had a good grasp of his strength. If it weren't for the fact that they were in Central City, where a full-scale fight was inappropriate, he could have taken Wei Guo Chan down right then. With Chen Chuan's foundation, he indeed had a chance of winning after his breakthrough.

What was unusual was that Chen Chuan had faced Wei Guo Chan.

Xue Shou asked, "Did someone interfere in this matter?"

Yao Zhiyi spoke solemnly, "It's the person I mentioned to Teacher Xue before—Zhao Zhenye, who defected from the Pure School. He indeed showed up this time."

He briefly described the situation and added, "If Chen hadn't broken through his limits in time and stopped Wei Guo Chan, he might have taken the relic and escaped."

Xue Shou smiled and said, "Even if he took the relic back, the outcome wouldn't have been much different."

Yao Zhiyi nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhenye was injured, and he could only hold on for a short while against the two of them. Once Wei Guo Chan obtained the relic, he would definitely choose to retreat. As for Gai Shuhe, since he had fled earlier, Wei Guo Chan would have to face the three of them upon his return, which meant certain death.

Even if Gai Shuhe chose to stay, he still had little chance of winning against the three of them. Their success would likely be capturing both men, or at least taking down one of them.

Yao Zhiyi spoke solemnly, "Zhao Zhenye's presence in the Fusion Land is always a threat. Previously, he hadn't made his stance clear, so we could temporarily ignore him. But now that he has interfered with our operation, it shows that he has chosen his side, and we can no longer turn a blind eye."

Xue Shou smiled, "Since he's a traitor to the Pure School, they should take care of him."

"I hope so, but this Zhao Zhenye is not simple."

Yao Zhiyi's expression turned serious. He had fought this man before, and if Zhao Zhenye were in his prime, their chances of winning against him would not be high.

Chen Chuan's gaze deepened as he considered the situation. As one of the main leaders of the Pure School's Jinbei Province branch, and now having broken through the fourth limit, Zhao Zhenye would be the problem he needed to deal with next.

At this moment, Xue Shou glanced outside and said, "I need to take my leave first." He smiled and added, "Gentlemen, we'll meet again in Central City." After saying this, he disappeared from the chair.

Chen Chuan looked at the empty chair and guessed that Teacher Xue had likely used the method of the Divine Manifestation that Principal Yao had mentioned.

Seeing Xue Shou leave, Yao Zhiyi picked up his teacup and took a few sips. Then, he took something out from his jacket and tossed it to Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan caught it and examined it. It was something like a grape, with a soft surface and some roots, stems, and leaves attached.

"Principal Yao, what's this?"

Yao Zhiyi explained, "I saw your bird lizard. It was probably bred by the Serpent Sect and then modified by some altered organization, right?"

Chen Chuan nodded, "Principal Yao, your insight is remarkable."

Yao Zhiyi gestured to the object in his hand and said, "This thing was given to me by the Biological Research Institute. It can make up for the innate deficiencies of these modified organisms. I don't have any decent modified organisms with me right now, so it's of no use to me. I might as well give it to you."

Chen Chuan did not refuse, as such a thing would indeed be useful for Chao Ming. He thought, "I'll find a way to repay you later, I can't decline." and said, "Thank you, Principal Yao."

Yao Zhiyi said, "You are the second person in Jinbei Province to become a fighter in the past few decades. After returning, I will report your situation to the capital. Someone may come to find you soon, and your position may be adjusted, giving you a new appointment.

He sighed, "With the emergence of fighters, many things will no longer be the same as before, and you must be prepared for that."

Chen Chuan nodded, understanding this well. The destructive power of fighters was evident, and the government would certainly not treat them the same way they did ordinary third-degree fighters.

After some thought, he asked, "Principal Yao, how is the situation at the World Ring?"

Yao Zhiyi replied, "We've publicly announced that the breach will be sealed by the end of the year, but in reality, it will be completed by the end of this month at the latest. Otherwise, Xiaowan wouldn't have returned so quickly."

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement. Although the damage to the World Ring had indeed constrained a significant portion of Jinbei Province's forces and caused many problems, it had also brought the region into the international spotlight.

He had a feeling that if he hadn't entered the fourth degree at this time and instead waited until after the World Ring was sealed to attempt it, it would have been much more challenging.

At that moment, he heard the sound of spinning propeller blades from outside, along with the increasingly clear sounds of machine guns and artillery fire. Looking out the porthole, he saw numerous old imperial airships fleeing in the distance, some of which suddenly burst into flames and fell from the sky.

On the ground, he could also see large groups of the old imperial army scattering, with people and horses fleeing in panic amidst the artillery fire.

In the sky, airships from the Great Prosperity side were pursuing and firing machine guns at the troops, who were being slaughtered without much resistance.

In a 1619 book, there was no mistake in what he saw!

It seemed that without a fighter like Wei Guo Chan to hold the fort, the entire army's morale had collapsed, but even desperate resistance was futile. It only made the Great Prosperity's encirclement and suppression easier. With two fighters, Wan Yunsan and Xue Shou, in charge, the opposing side had no chance of a comeback.

After observing for a while, Yao Zhiyi sighed, "Old man, I've been stationed here for so many years, witnessing countless sacrifices. Now that we've achieved victory, there should be fewer large-scale battles in the future, unless there are special circumstances."

But..."

His expression turned solemn, "We're not just dealing with the Fusion Land. Mr. Chen, given your position, you should be well aware of the stance of the Municipal Parliament, right?"

Chen Chuan said, "I'm well aware, and I've experienced their methods."

Yao Zhiyi's voice turned cold, "On one hand, they have the backing of various companies in Zhongxincheng. On the other hand, they secretly collude with the old imperial court, which also knows that their existence is beneficial to them. There's an unspoken understanding between the two sides.

So, whenever we want to deal with one side, the other will come out to obstruct us, dragging us down on all fronts. When we push down on one side, the other rises up. This time, after crushing the old imperial army in Jinbei Province, we can focus on dealing with the Municipal Parliament."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Principal, does the Municipal Parliament have any fighters?"

"They don't have any fighters."

Yao Zhiyi spoke solemnly, "But they have a highly active consciousness entity that has gathered a vast amount of biotechnology. Its technological level is very high, comparable to Crimson Whirl. Moreover, they've been continuously investing in it over the years, and we suspect they may have received support from the old imperial court's altered organisms.

This active consciousness has never revealed itself, so we lack detailed information and find it difficult to assess its strength. The Government Hall has repeatedly proposed from a security perspective the need for a certain level of inspection and evaluation of this active consciousness entity, but the Municipal Parliament has obstructed it in every way, delaying it until now.

Once the news of your becoming a fighter spreads, it will undoubtedly cause panic among many, especially the Municipal Parliament. Even without mentioning the old imperial court, your very existence has already disrupted the balance they've tried so hard to maintain."

Chen Chuan said, "Principal, isn't Wan a graduate of Wu Yi Academy as well?"

"That's different."

Yao Zhiyi explained, "Wan joined the army after graduation, and he only achieved fighter status more than a decade later. By then, he had already been transferred to guard the World Ring, and his records were sealed. He never returned to Jinbei Province during that time, so no one noticed when he was transferred back this time."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "The Municipal Parliament will definitely try every means to send you away."

Chen Chuan spoke calmly, "That's not up to them to decide."

Yao Zhiyi nodded, "Violence is the root of everything. Only when both sides of a conflict have reservations about each other will they sit down to negotiate. Without sufficient force, no matter how loud you speak, no one will listen. They understand this principle too, so they'll definitely try to borrow some external power, yes, not just possibly, but certainly."

Chen Chuan agreed, knowing that the Union and the Linakses Federation might not want the Great Prosperity government to completely control Zhongxincheng. Additionally, there might be an existence that had slipped through the World Ring, now hiding somewhere within the city.
