Vol 19 Chapter 10-3 (1/2)
WangXia participated in the battle against the Japanese army outside Japan and annihilated Japanese ships with tactical nukes so he had a decent idea of his own strength. In contrast to Heng and ChengXiao, his power was meant for group battles. Demon Energy wasn’t effective on its own as bombs materialized by Demon Energy had limited destructiveness, unlike plasma bombs and tactical nukes which could have a coverage of thousands of meters. His power came from manipulating high-tech bombs using Demon Energy, powerful but considered a sci-fi attack. As a result, anyone in team China wearing the Dragonshard Necklace could easily take him down after they defended the first wave of attack from WangXia. His attacks were large AOEs but impotent on single target focused fights.
WangXia was fond of reading fantasy novels. He used to imagine himself as an invincible hero who could save the world. It was the reason he asked Zheng to teach him Qi. The outcome wasn’t desireable but he gained a sense of becoming stronger. Eventually, he obtained hi-explosive bombs, gravity bombs, plasma bombs, and tactical nukes. These bombs he had access to became more and more powerful. His Demon Energy also granted him new ways to utilize the bombs as his enhancement ranked up. WangXia’s growth was linked to team China. The stronger team China became, the stronger he would be because only as a team could they obtain access to more and more powerful bombs.
WangXia was rather forthright as a person and he entered God’s realm as a soldier with hot blood. His motive was the purest and most noble among all others who entered the realm. Everyone else either gave up on life or the real world, or came to seize the treasures of the realm after learning of its existence. WangXia came to fulfill his responsibility as a soldier and had retained the conduct of a soldier… ChengXiao was an exception. Xuan was also an exception given his indifferent personality.
(Well then… let’s begin!)
WangXia looked down at the fleet below. He recalled the details of the mission Xuan explained to him. His priority was to obtain the Buddha statue piece. Otherwise, attacking the fleet could sink the statue piece into the ocean along with the ships. Therefore, WangXia had to sneak into the fleet and control someone who was aware of the location of the statue piece. This person should be a high ranking officer. The method he would use to control a person was device Xuan used on Haotian. The device didn’t break after they killed Haotian. Seeing the effectiveness of the device, Xuan crafted two more afterward. If it weren’t for the resources team China seized from team Celestial, Xuan wouldn’t have been able to craft the extras given how expensive the device cost.
The target wearing the device would become a slave to the person holding the control. Haotian possessed Nen but he was unable to resist before his death. Xuan handed a device to WangXia before he departed for the fleet and informed him another way to use the device. He could knock out the target then put the device on to bypass the need for the target to willingly put it on.
He recalled a joke about a dealer who sold rat poison. The dealer boasted how effective his rat poison was. Then people asked how to use the poison and he replied you would catch the rat then stuff the poison into its mouth. There was no way for the rat to survive. The direction for the device sounded similar to the dealer’s method.
WangXia left Shanghai immediately after he received the order. He contacted Xuan twice on the way but he didn’t question much. His mind was occupied with completing the mission.
The Sky Stick descended quietly in the dark sky. It was the most tiring time of the day for a person. WangXia sneaked into a carrier without encountering any trouble. He sneaked behind a guard, knocked him out, then put the device on his head.
The guard told everything he knew about the high ranking officers and their locations in this ship. WangXia accompanied the guard to a cabin where one of the high ranking officer resided.
“I am sorry. We are both soldiers.” WangXia placed his hand on the back of the guard’s head. A small boom followed as the guard’s neck was blasted. The device fell onto a pool of blood, still intact.
