Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Command center.

When Zhuang Jun saw the monster, the military detected the rift's movements a few seconds in advance.

"Spiritual Wave Radar detects that the Super Spiritual Power within the rift is rapidly increasing!"

"The monster is about to come out!"

The highest commander at the base, Commander Yang, personally issued the order: "Prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Commander Yang nodded again: "It seems the Spiritual Wave Radar has some effect."

A researcher nearby couldn't help but say: "This Spiritual Wave Radar is just the first-generation product; we will continue to improve it."

The so-called "Spiritual Wave Radar" is the latest achievement from the Great Xia Superpower Research Institute.

The team of researchers, guided by Mermaid and combined with Great Xia's globally leading radar technology, created this scientific and superpower hybrid device.

Initially, the military wasn't very impressed because the device's maximum detection range was only one and a half kilometers.

This was simply a laughable statistic.

On a real battlefield, a mere one and a half kilometers is almost considered to have no practical value.

But Mr. Ghost provided the precise location of the monster's appearance, and the Spiritual Wave Radar barely managed to play a role.

Commander Yang, taking into account the face of the Superpower Research Institute, said "has some effect."

A minute later.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly emerged from the rift.

At that instant.

It seemed somewhat bewildered, flapping its wings in mid-air, as if observing this new world.

At the same time.

The anti-aircraft firepower previously deployed by the Great Xia Military erupted.

"Da! Da!"

More than ten vehicles loaded with anti-aircraft guns unleashed a terrifying metal storm.

Over ten anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky, leaving trails as they approached the Flying Sand Dragonfly from different directions.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly instinctively sensed the threat, vibrating its three pairs of wings, becoming a blur.

With incredible agility, it avoided the metal storm.

Yet the monster was forced to flee in panic.

Commander Yang watched this scene, nodding: "The difference between being prepared and unprepared is truly vast."

Commander Zhang beside him agreed: "The Lan shi Kingdom was unprepared, got hit too hard. Thankfully, we have Mr. Ghost."

As they spoke.

Perhaps suddenly attacked, the Flying Sand Dragonfly, sensing danger everywhere on the ground, ascended to the high altitude.

For the monster, suddenly arriving in a foreign place, not knowing what dangerous creatures await on the ground, staying away from the ground is a wise choice.

However.

This fell right into the military's calculation.

Above the clouds.

A few bombers and over a dozen fighter jets decisively fired a batch of missiles.

"Woo～"

Accompanied by a loud whistling sound.

Missiles pierced through the clouds, descending upon the monster like heavenly troops.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly then realized it was in an awkward position.

It was too far from the ground, unable to reach it in time to use ground obstacles for evasion.

Yet, it sensed danger from the missiles and wasn't confident in avoiding the multiple ones.

But the Flying Sand Dragonfly had no choice but to dive and increase speed, while desperately executing various maneuvers.

This is a very simple tactic.

But also a very effective tactic.

Five seconds later.

"Boom! Boom!"

The missiles exploded in succession.

A series of beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Cheers erupted in the command center.

"The monster is injured."

"The Flying Sand Dragonfly's speed has decreased."

"The monster's wings seem to be hurt."

Through the drone camera, it was clearly visible that the Flying Sand Dragonfly's flight posture had changed, with significant reductions in speed and agility.

At this moment.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly seemed to go berserk from the stimulation, swooping towards the anti-aircraft vehicles below.

It seemed to sense enemies inside the vehicles.

Unfortunately, this was suicide.

"Da! Da!"

The metal storm struck again.

This time, the Flying Sand Dragonfly couldn't dodge, was hit repeatedly by shrapnel, spinning and plummeting from the sky.

Two more missiles rapidly collided.

"Boom!"

Thunderous explosions sounded.

The monster's limbs were blown to pieces, rapidly falling downward.

Clearly.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly was killed.

The command center turned into a sea of joy.

Meanwhile.

Inside the small villa.

Yang Fan watched the entire battle via the Spirit Bird's perspective, nodding slightly: "The military is progressing quite quickly!"

Initially, he prepared for the assault, but from start to finish, the monster was perfectly arranged, leaving no need for him to take action.

Not long after.

The Soul Stealing Wisp returned.

5.8 Spiritual Source Value was added, much more than expected.

The accumulated Spiritual Source Value reached 79.8 points.

Unfortunately, the Soul Stealing Wisp didn't draw a superpower.

Yang Fan smiled: "It's probably time to promote to Warrior."

After finishing reading the "Superpower Secret Scripture".

He realized that he seemed to be walking an extraordinary path.

According to the wisdom imparted by the Mermaid, there are two major thresholds for ascending as a Warrior.

The first threshold is 100 points of physical Value, the second is refining force to form Life Elemental Power.

The "Secret Scripture" also specifically notes that only 100 points of physical Value provide the foundation for generating Life Elemental Power.

However, Yang Fan went against it.

He fused the Vajra Iron Bone Superpower, and when his physical Value was only 40 points, he naturally generated Life Elemental Power.

He has many doubts about the "Secret Scripture", and this is one of the reasons.

Nonetheless.

Currently, the physical Value is at 61.6 points; boosting to 100 points all at once would place too great a burden on the body.

Yang Fan decided within himself: "Increase the physical Value by 10 points every day, ascend as a Warrior in 4 days."

With a movement of his left hand, the Space Pearl quietly emerged, floating motionlessly before his eyes.

Yang Fan smiled: "To think that placing the Spirit Fruit within the Space Pearl would trigger such a change."

The six Spirit Fruits rewarded by Great Xia last time have not been eaten by him.

After the Spirit Fruits were put into the Space Pearl, the curio space spontaneously sectioned off a small area.

Yang Fan gazed at the Spirit Fruits, able to sense the space saturated with intense vitality.

No doubt about it.

The Space Pearl is about to undergo its second evolution.

*

Lan shi Kingdom.

The country's military high command is undergoing a special inquiry.

"Commander McMallaman, I'd like you to watch a video."

Vice Speaker Bridges stared intently at the chief military figure with hawk-like eyes.

McMallaman swore inwardly at the 'stubborn politician,' forcing a smile: "Of course, Mr. Bridges."

Lately, during the campaign against the two Flying Sand Dragonflies, McMallaman had had enough of this bunch.

These people neither respect facts nor military protocols, preferring only to show off in front of cameras.

With an arrogant slight tilt of his head, bridges said: "This video is from Eastern Great Xia, recorded yesterday."

Hearing the term "Great Xia," McMallaman's heart sank slightly, sensing an ominous premonition.

Bridges gave a nod to the side: "Let's start."

Soon.

The video began playing.

It was the complete footage of the Great Xia Military hunting Primordial Creatures.

McMallaman was shocked upon seeing the monster in the first second: "Flying Sand Dragonfly!"

As the highest person responsible for hunting Flying Sand Dragonflies, he knew better than anyone how troublesome these monsters could be.

The two Flying Sand Dragonflies that descended upon Lan shi Kingdom had fully adapted to Canglan Star's environment, and the military was struggling to even find their whereabouts.

The video was only thirty seconds long.

The footage ended with a close-up of the remains of the Flying Sand Dragonfly, amid the cheers of the Great Xia Soldiers.

McMallaman watched in shock.

The Flying Sand Dragonfly died so quickly?

How did the Great Xia People manage it?

Bridges leaned forward slightly, formally beginning to challenge: "Mr. McMallaman, we need an explanation."

McMallaman snapped back to reality, feeling a bit bewildered: "What explanation?"

Bridges suddenly raised his tone, asking aggressively: "Based on the video from the Great Xia People, the Flying Sand Dragonfly clearly isn't a terribly formidable Primordial Creature.

Why did our military spend so much time, exhaust countless ammunition and resources, and suffer over four thousand casualties, yet could do nothing against merely two Flying Sand Dragonflies?"

McMallaman's brain raced as he pondered how to answer.

Bridges flung his arms, his voice growing louder: "The incompetence of the military is truly shocking!"

Several other lawmakers chimed in agreement.

"Indeed, very incompetent."

"This is the shame of Lan shi Kingdom!"

McMallaman felt his headache intensifying.

Without the sacrifices of the Lan shi People, how could the Great Xia People summarize the experience against the Flying Sand Dragonflies?

These pretentious animals don't understand military matters at all, giving orders from the sidelines.

You are the true shame of Lan shi Kingdom!

Bridges shouted again: "Mr. McMallaman, please answer my question."

McMallaman suddenly felt a bit exhausted.

He understood all too well that no matter how he explained, he wouldn't get past this hurdle.

The military's performance wasn't particularly good, and the Lan shi People held a lot of anger in their hearts.

Hence, from top to bottom, they needed a scapegoat.

The video from the Great Xia People was the trigger, giving the stubborn ones a reason to rally.

McMallaman took off his hat and slowly stood up: "I will resign from all military positions."

The hall instantly quieted down.

Bridges closed his mouth.

Since the goal had been achieved, he didn't intend to go overboard.

Under the gaze of everyone.

McMallaman turned towards the exit.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly paused and looked back.

Bridges asked: "McMallaman, is there anything else?"

McMallaman ignored him and said: "The Great Xia People have a way to track the Flying Sand Dragonfly's whereabouts, so the moment the monster appeared, it was met with an immediate attack.

This is the fundamental reason why Great Xia can easily kill the monster."

No one spoke.

McMallaman continued: "If I'm not mistaken, that formidable Great Xia Ghost undoubtedly played a crucial role.

The major difference between Lan shi Kingdom and Great Xia is that Great Xia possesses Mr. Ghost and a unified nation, while we have only a bunch of fools."

This was blatant cursing.

Bridges' old face turned angry.

McMallaman seemed to have given up: "The future of Canglan Star lies in Eastern Great Xia; I do not believe Lan shi Kingdom has a future."

He immediately turned his head and walked towards the door.

The hall remained silent.
