The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

"You really want to take advantage of the situation, huh? You've already inherited our God race's Mechanical Core, and now you want our Soul Core too? Aren't you being a bit too greedy?" Belta said irritably.

Ling Feng chuckled, "It's always good to have more skills, right? Besides, your God race's Soul Core is the real secret, isn't it?"

Although the Mechanical Core is powerful, it ultimately relies on external objects, whereas their Soul Core is the true strength of the God race!

Belta glanced at Ling Feng, "You really look like you deserve a beating right now. How did Xuanyuan choose you to be an heir? Could it be that his eyes are failing with age?"

Ling Feng squinted and said, "Senior Belta, since things have come to this, clinging onto the Soul Core won't be of any use to your God race. If you pass it on to me, I might be able to help your God race regain its glory in the future!"

"Regain its glory? It'd be a miracle if you can even protect Earth!" Belta said irritably, "But... you're right. If Earth can't be protected, then guarding the Soul Core is meaningless to us."

At this point, Belta seemed to have seen the light, "Kid, come here, I can pass the Soul Core to you!"

"However..." Belta sighed, "With my current Soul Power, once I pass the Soul Core to you, I will completely vanish from this land. But perhaps that's for the best. I was born here, raised here, and then will die here. I have fought, devoted myself to, and plundered for this land; one could say I have no regrets in life!"

Ling Feng suddenly laughed, "Senior Belta, I was just joking earlier. I didn't expect you to take me seriously. Although I do covet the Soul Core, I think our urgent issue now is to repair this body. Otherwise, do you really wish to disappear from this land?"

Belta's spirit jolted, "Ling Feng, what do you mean by that? You can't trick me!"

Belta was now unable to endure great mental swings!

Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Senior Belta, I, Ling Feng, know what I'm doing when I act!"

Just now, Ling Feng had carefully examined the body; although the heart had been removed, the other parts were almost intact. Therefore, as long as a Power Core is crafted, the body can be restored!

Belta actually knew this too, but the most fatal issue now is the lack of materials to create a Power Core nearby! It's important to know that the original Power Core of this body utilized the God race's only Holy Stone. That might be why, when the God race retreated, someone couldn't bear to part with the Holy Stone and removed it.

However, this was not a problem for Ling Feng, as he happened to possess something perfectly suitable to serve as a Power Core!

That was the Ethereal Stone! Back in Hokkaido, Ling Feng had foiled the Divine Envoy of the God race's plot and collected the Ethereal Stone intended to blow up Hokkaido into the Devil's Ring.

The Ethereal Stone is one of the raw Energy stones from the Divine Realm, possessing immense power, making it the perfect choice for this body's Power Core!

But the Ethereal Stone is unstable, and that Divine Envoy had once disrupted the energy balance within it, so it now only has ten seconds before it explodes if the hazard isn't resolved in time!

And if the Ethereal Stone were to explode... even Ling Feng might not be able to escape unharmed, let alone Xuanyuan Xia!

Therefore, Ling Feng was hesitant and took the opportunity to request the Soul Core from Belta. If Belta refused, Ling Feng would have a reason to refrain from using the Ethereal Stone.

But if Belta was willing to hand over the Soul Core... what reason would Ling Feng have not to save this warrior who had fought endlessly to protect Earth for millennia?

Belta chose selfless contribution, so Ling Feng also chose to take on the risk, going all out to save Belta.

"But first, I need to plan carefully." Ling Feng said calmly, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

If he hadn't inherited the Mechanical Core, Ling Feng wouldn't have been able to handle the impending explosion of the Ethereal Stone, but even so, he had to be cautious.

Belta watched Ling Feng expectantly. After days of interaction, Belta knew Ling Feng wasn't one to boast; if he said he had a way, then he surely did!

With this thought, a fiery hope surged in Belta's heart. Who wants to die meaningless when one can live? Especially since Belta had grown weary of this form.

Time ticked by, and Ling Feng remained unmoving with eyes closed. Belta even felt as if Ling Feng fell asleep!

It was uncertain how much time had passed when Ling Feng finally opened his eyes; they were bloodshot, and he appeared mentally fatigued, "Do not disturb me; I need a good rest!"

With that, Ling Feng collapsed to the ground and fell asleep immediately.

"Asleep?" Belta was stunned; had Ling Feng really fallen asleep?

However, Belta could sense from Ling Feng's spirit that he was extremely exhausted and genuinely couldn't hold out any longer.

The nap wasn't long; about two hours later, Ling Feng awoke.

"Ling Feng, just now..." As Ling Feng awoke, Belta impatiently asked.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Senior, why the rush? You've waited all these years; why the hurry now?"

Just now, Ling Feng had been constructing all the ways to deal with the Ethereal Stone in his mind, along with potential situations that might occur. The Mechanical Core did not provide a direct solution for the Ethereal Stone, so Ling Feng had to keep searching for a method internally!

He was operating like a programmer running grand computer data mind simulations. If Ling Feng's spiritual power wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to handle it.

But fortunately, after multi-pronged calculations, Ling Feng finally found a fairly high success rate strategy, but it was still somewhat challenging relying on Ling Feng alone.

"Indeed, I need to find a quiet place; otherwise, if it does explode, everyone would be in trouble," Ling Feng considered, "Senior, please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"

With that, Ling Feng turned and disappeared from the stone chamber. Although Belta wanted to follow, he couldn't keep up, and he knew Ling Feng didn't want him to know.

"Forget it, I'll wait here peacefully!" Belta said with a wry smile, "After all these years, I still haven't reached the state of remaining calm amidst honor and disgrace, nor facing imminent doom without flinching!"
