Chapter 72 (1/2)
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out in the lobby all of sudden.
The lobby instantly went silent. The awakened warriors were not scared of regular guns, but when the highest military commander stood on a desk in the lobby area and fired a warning shot, it still made those awakened warriors stop talking. At the same time, Staff Officer Tao and other people also returned to the lobby.
Commander Du shouted loudly, “as the highest military commander here, I am going to mention this again, the red-armored warrior you saw is indeed Mr. Chu, who is also the key person of this entire mission, I have mentioned it so many times, and this is going to be the last time!” He then looked at his watch and said, “in regards to Mr. Chu’s ability, I think we will have an answer soon.”
The skinny old man, who was recruited the earliest, immediately asked, “Commander Du, this is what we are worried about. I haven’t seen his fight in person before, but from what I have heard from other people, who have seen his fight before, although the red-armored warrior is indeed very strong, please keep in mind that in our plan, he needs to distract the flaming monster, not those meat worms and red-eyed monsters.
And from what they saw, his ability is barely enough to kill one and two meat worms. I don’t think that with his ability at the moment, he could withstand the flaming monster’s attack, not to mention that he needed to distract it for one minute.”
Just right after he said this, a man stood out and said, “yes, I agree with this old man, I’ve seen his fight before, although I admire his ability, I think he is still not strong enough to distract the flaming monster. Originally, we were hoping that the man in the grey coat isn’t the red-armored warrior, since you guys did not mention it, so we thought that the guy is stronger than the red-armored warrior, but if you think that with the help of the red-armored warrior, you could convince us that this plan will be successful, then you are wrong.”
“I don’t agree with you!” a female awakened warrior, who was holding a baby interrupted. “I have also seen his fight before, I think you have missed something here. He is the only person I have seen that could use both fire and ice elemental skills. When he fought with a sword, there weren’t any signs of ice or fire elemental energy, but he could use a gun to unleash fire elemental energy and a bow to unleash ice elemental energy. May I ask, has anyone of you seen anyone else could do this kind of thing?! So I believe him and also support Commander Du, Mr. Chu will definitely be able to distract the flaming monster.”
…
Commander Du didn’t know that not only were they worried about Chu Yunsheng’s ability, but they were also questioning the red-armored warrior’s ability. Even if he could prove that Chu Yunsheng was that red-armored warrior now, it still would not help him to solve this commotion. Because to them, they would be just having another stronger team member and that was it. Chu Yunsheng was still far away from being able to deal with the flaming monster.
Those people have been living in this fog city for some time now. They had escaped from dangerous situations countless times, those dangerous experiences only made them become smarter and more cautious. Commander Du also understood this, that was why he didn’t know what to say. He only hoped that Chu Yunsheng would come out to convince those people, otherwise, once those people left, they wouldn’t be able to destroy the cores just by themselves.
But since Chu Yunsheng came back, he just locked himself in the room, and the door was currently guarded by Yao Xiang. Even though Commander Du had asked Staff Officer Tao to ask Chu Yunsheng to come out so many times, there was no response.
Meanwhile, Chu Yunsheng was nervously observing the abnormal changes of his Yuan Qi. He did not have a so-called legendary inner observation ability. He could only try to sense the changes by feeling how Yuan Qi circulated inside his body.
At this moment, he was not sure if he had already entered Yuan Tian Stage Two or not, he only felt that there was some kind of barrier between his body and Yuan Qi, and the barrier was slowly destroyed by Yuan Qi when it circulated inside his body. After the barrier was completely destroyed, he felt that his body and Yuan Qi had been fused together and became a single ent.i.ty. This was a type of feeling he never had before.
He couldn’t help but think to himself that, ‘if Yuan Tian stage one is about storing Yuan Qi in his body temporarily, then now his body and Yuan Qi is one single ent.i.ty.’
The whole process of breaking through was very slow, he was trying his best to slowly speed up the Yuan Qi circulation.
All kinds of strange noises soon began to emerge from his body, they were pa.s.sed to his hearing system through the internal nerves. He felt like he was a castle and it was under the attack of an army of a tremendous amount of Yuan Qi.
