Chapter 346 Legend Title
That day.
Chen Feng sat by the stone table in the courtyard, with quite a few empty plates in front of him.
Putting aside his Heart of Life talent, his current physique wouldn't be affected even if he didn't eat or drink for half a month.
However, he didn't mind satisfying his hunger a bit.
Upon learning that he had exited his retreat, the entire Flame Tiger Sect was bustling again.
Cao Tong was the first to arrive with people, and he was now standing behind him.
"Councilman Chu has arrived, and the Sect Leader is chatting with him."
"Junior Zhao went to the military camp, but there aren't too many matters at the Mountain Gate at the moment, with some core disciples supervising...."
"The guests from that day have all undergone energy and mental checks by the military, and there's no issue. No followers or spies from the Evil God Church were found..."
Cao Tong, wearing loose casual sportswear, initially planned to go down the mountain to the Martial Arts Hall today.
But upon hearing that Chen Feng had exited retreat, he brought people to see him and briefly mentioned some events during the retreat.
"Hmm..."
Chen Feng nodded his head, which was more or less what he expected.
The situation within the school was quite stable with several True Inheritors and his master, who was already a Grandmaster, overseeing things. Most issues could be resolved without him stepping in.
As for Chu Shihong's visit.
He wasn't surprised by it either; after all, the Provincial Federation had initially required a thorough investigation of the Evil God Church.
Afterwards, having finished his meal.
He gestured to Cao Tong to go about his business and walked alone towards a well-maintained courtyard.
"Old Li, you've really become younger after breaking through to Grandmaster!"
"Hahaha, is that so? How about I teach you, if you'd like to try?"
"You teach me? Forget it, why not just give me a couple of jars of your Tiger Whip Wine..."
The sound of a cheerful and youthful conversation reached his ears; Chen Feng cleared his throat lightly and entered the guest reception hall.
Suddenly, there was a brief silence inside the room.
The two elderly men with graying hair exchanged a glance and quickly pretended as though nothing had happened, motioning to him in welcome.
"Xiao Feng, did you leave any injuries behind?"
Even though they guessed everything was fine, Li Tong was still worried that his retreat was for healing wounds.
Chu Shihong was also quite concerned about this.
"I just gained some insights after a battle, nothing major."
Chen Feng shook his head and brushed it off simply, then sat on a pear-wood chair next to the main seat.
Li Tong and the others breathed a sigh of relief and then engaged in some brief casual conversation.
During this time, a core disciple brought some tea, and Chen Feng looked towards Chu Shihong, inquiring about his concern.
"Uncle Chu, have those people's identities been confirmed?"
In private, their address was quite relaxed, and Chu Shihong wasn't surprised that he would ask.
"I came exactly for this matter; the Provincial Federation attaches great importance to it."
"Take a look, this is the latest result found by the Chi General Guard, confirming they were all members of the Church of the Dead, and most of their identities have been uncovered..."
He took out a dedicated communicator for storing information.
Chen Feng opened it to have a look, and a virtual light screen appeared.
It contained photos and information of the dozen or so black-robed people from that day.
There were people from the Red Country, as well as Suluo, Nido, or other countries' people.
However, among them, only one person caught Chen Feng's attention the most.
"Suluo person?"
With a slight frown, Chen Feng looked at the photo in front of him.
It was the person with the big brim hat, the sinister Batman, pictured in his pre-transformation form.
[Feidel, thirty-seven years old, from Suluo Country, born in Suo Jia City...]
Text after text of information entered his eyes, showing that two months ago, the person was just an ordinary office worker.
In just two short months, he had become an Upper Rank Walker of the Evil God Church.
Moreover.
"Suo Jia City...."
Chen Feng keenly sensed a bit of anomaly, feeling it was a bit too coincidental.
Suo Jia City was the only Earth Star city where the Black Tide had appeared, and that Batman's state seemed too much like those Black Tide creatures.
Could it be...
In a flash of thought, an inexplicable image flashed through Chen Feng's mind.
Back when the Black Tide broke out in Suo Jia City, a giant Sixth Order bat had appeared inside that spatial black hole.
Later, it attempted to self-destruct the city, but fortunately, the Flying General from Wang Cheng arrived just in time to stop it.
"Could it have survived?"
A reality-defying speculation arose.
Ordinarily, one wouldn't dare imagine such a thing, but Chen Feng had witnessed the strange black mist in Qinggang City's Dream Realm.
The resurrection of Black Tide creatures was indeed not impossible.
"What is the military's response?" After pondering for a moment, Chen Feng suppressed his speculation and asked.
"The Suo Jia City name is quite eye-catching."
Chu Shihong glanced around the courtyard, lowering his voice: "This matter has already been reported to the Red Capital, where they are taking it very seriously, requiring the Chi General Guard to conduct a thorough investigation."
"Moreover, according to Chairman Li, they have even sent a special task force to Suo Jia City for research...."
With a subtle explanation, Chen Feng roughly grasped the meaning.
The higher-ups have a strong think tank and a team of experts behind them.
These people have done considerable research on secret realm relics, including an understanding of the Black Tide, and may not know less than himself.
Therefore, they may have reached some similar conclusions and hypotheses.
"That's good then."
Chen Feng nodded and put down the information. Amid some small talk, Chu Shihong informed him of some other matters.
"The City Association held a meeting the day before yesterday, but since they were worried about your retreat for healing, they didn't inform you to attend."
"It's mainly related to the Church of the Dead attack. They've decided to send two more Chi General Guard teams to come to Nanjiang to assist us with our work."
"In addition..."
He smiled slightly, his tone solemn: "Before the Radiant Secret Realm arrives, a Legendary Flying General will also come here to sit, just in case."
"Speaking of which, you should know him."
Chu Shihong smiled slightly, withholding some details.
"Oh?"
Chen Feng was puzzled.
Legendary Flying General? This was the first time he had heard of this title.
And he even knew the person?
"Due to confidentiality requirements, I can't disclose who it is."
"But you can rest assured, this person has a good relationship with Chairman Li and is easy to get along with..."
Worried that Chen Feng might overthink, Chu Shihong explained a bit further.
Chen Feng seemed thoughtful, inexplicably reminded of someone.
He did not ask more about the identity, but rather, he was curious about a previous keyword.
"Legendary Flying General... Speaking of which, it owes a lot to the recent new transformation technology."
"The Red Capital Research Institute has completely deciphered the new transformation blueprint and conducted stable experiments."
"As a result, the limits for Transformed People have been raised, and the extraction efficiency for some advanced materials has increased by several folds compared to before."
With a smile, Chu Shihong said with some excitement, "Thus, a select few Flying Generals with great achievements have been equipped with more advanced enhancement modules, possessing some powers close to that of a Divine General."
"Because of this, they have recently been awarded the legendary title."
With this explanation, Li Tong looked surprised, and Chen Feng was also somewhat unexpected.
In this light, the strength of a Legendary Flying General might possibly exceed the Sixth Order?
"Of course, Legendary Flying Generals are rare, currently there are only a handful."
"After all, not every Flying General can endure such special transformation..."
Seeming to see their surprise, and thinking of the current martial arts situation, Chu Shihong chuckled slightly and quickly added a few words of consolation.
Chen Feng did not comment on this, but his thoughts went further.
The initial signs of enhancement technology improvement, then the number of future Legendary Flying Generals would definitely be more than now.
And, there are even higher-level Divine Generals.
Who knows, what level would such a strong person be?
...
Buzz!
At the same moment.
The Flying Car passed through, the bustling city, the high buildings of Chi Bo Energy stood firm.
A middle-aged man in a suit was sitting in the top-floor office, with a virtual screen floating in front of him, among which numerous dignified faces were appearing.
"The Red Capital has already clearly stated that legendary-level transformation resources and technology will not be open to outsiders, limited to military use and the Chi General Guard."
"So selfish, shouldn't this technology be shared together?"
"During the initial development of Secret Realms, our Han family also contributed a lot, so what if we get some resource preference?"
"The financial groups over in the Platinum Federation are much stronger, they have whatever they need, knowing that we should have moved out of Chi Country long ago..."
Sporadic arguments rang out in the communication module, with some elders frowning in discontent, and some assertive middle-aged men sounded low and unwilling.
As a super giant enterprise, they should overlook everything and enjoy all.
But in the end, they were constantly targeted and suppressed.
The middle-aged man in a suit did not voice his opinions or speak up throughout, until finally, someone changed the subject and looked at him.
"Ming Chuan, the Secret Realm migration in Nanjiang is about to start."
"The Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood traded with us in collaboration with the Lute family... how's the progress?"
"Attempting to implant it into test subjects."
The middle-aged man in a suit said calmly, and everyone was very satisfied.
"However, there are still some phased problems, and I hope the headquarters can specially allocate some resources for me..."
"No problem."
No one opposed because they all knew the significance of this experiment.
The meeting continued for another ten minutes.
When it ended, the communication was disconnected, and the large office fell quiet.
The middle-aged man in a suit, Han Mingchuan, withdrew his gaze, then looked at another person who sat on the leather sofa across all along.
An experimenter wearing a white coat, a woman with an exceptionally delicate face and fair skin.
With long brown curls, her eyes slightly red, clearly not from the Red Country.
"How soon can you give me results at the latest?"
He asked calmly, looking directly at her.
"Without the stimulation of advanced special energy, the dilution concentration of that Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood is difficult to reduce to the previously planned standard."
"Even with the special resources allocated by the group headquarters as assistance, ordinary test subjects are very difficult to withstand."
The woman in a white coat got up and said, then walked slowly, sitting on the mahogany desk.
"So?"
He asked deeply; even as the woman revealed black silk stockings under her white coat and her long legs, Han Mingchuan remained calm as always.
"Two options."
"First, as I mentioned before."
"Fuse the essence blood of an Extreme Martial Artist to create a serum, thus neutralizing the backlash and gene collapse of the Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood."
With a smile, the woman in the white coat said, sitting on the table and crossing her legs.
However.
"Just say the second one."
Han Mingchuan shook his head.
There are just a few in the Extreme Realm, and they are all closely tied with the military and the Association.
Even if he uses the profound resources of the group to forcefully act, he still needs to consider whether he can bear the subsequent adverse effects.
"Then it can only be compensated by quantity."
Glancing at him, the woman in the white coat slowly stood up.
"There are many Martial Artists in Chi Country; if it's possible to collect a large amount of fresh blood to make serums, and at the same time use them as test subjects to continuously trial and error."
"Then the success rate of transformation for this Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood can increase by at least thirty percent."
As the words fell, Han Mingchuan remained silent for a moment.
His gaze cast outside the window towards the bustling street, where there are other super giant enterprises and the Union Building that signifies certain meanings.
Finally, he made a decision.
"Alright."
