Maybe because of the raised city alert level, when everyone returned, they found that even on the bus there was a Special Duty Team mber on duty. Upon seeing Feng Yuan and his group, the team mber initially prepared to step forward for an inspection, but upon noticing Feng Yuan, he stepped back.
"Sigh, really, but the surrounding countries aren’t affected, could it be actually Xingchan?"
On the bus, Feng Yuan looked at the news on his phone, astonished, and said: the previously rampant illegal organization capturing wild spirit beasts wasn’t just causing trouble in Great Xia, it was all over the Divine Land, so why is this incident different? Could it really be an attack secretly launched by Xingchan and their allies?
For so reason, Feng Yuan felt sothing was amiss, but due to their adversarial relationship, he couldn’t ask the Divine Beasts of Xingchan and other countries what they were up to.
"For us in Maomu City, this isn’t a good thing. Maomu City’s City Defense System is under reconstruction, and if they attack here at this ti..."
"Then they’d be insane! Unless we aren’t in Maomu City, attacking a city where two Divine Beasts reside? Tsk, I don’t think the people from Xingchan would be that foolish."
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said. He was aware of the city’s defense system reconstruction, as Tiraya had already finished redesigning and sent the plans to Maomu City. The new City Defense System would enhance in three directions using the Data Domain, City of Shadows, and the new defense design.
This task was originally handled by ng Binglan, but due to its complexity, she had to seek help from her ntor and friends. Now, the part she’s responsible for is complete, so she’s free to visit Mingjing Lake.
The new City Defense System, after passing verification, has begun deploying throughout Maomu City. According to Feng Yuan’s knowledge, the residential area where they live is currently undergoing major renovations since the initial design is no longer in use, forcing a redeploynt of the area’s facilities.
These pre-designed modification areas are relatively manageable, but the old city’s section is truly troubleso. Fortunately, they found that using the Data Domain in conjunction with the City of Shadows ensures the renovations in the old city minimally affect the residing citizens.
At present, they are mainly deploying in areas reserved for modifications, leaving the old city for last.
"Whatever happens, if they do launch an attack on Maomu City, it’s not like we’re completely helpless. We can use Ti Projection or World’s Shadow, and if need be, just overlay the World’s Shadow."
With a shrug, Feng Yuan said casually. Although Maomu City’s progress on the new City Defense System is still in its early stages, if paused now, it will cause future troubles, as many things require ti to verify, not to ntion the old defense system barely manages to protect buildings from ordinary battle aftermath.
"The Illusory World might not work. Not to ntion that’s an ultimate exclusive to ghost-type Divine Beasts. I rember it transforms the environnt to be filled with an abundance of ghost power. Activating it in the city doesn’t seem suitable."
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, Ti Projection and World’s Shadow don’t impact the real world much, but the Illusory World? That’s a ghost-type Divine Beasts’ offensive all-round Divine Beast Technique. Although not as distinct as exclusive techniques, once released, the area turns ghastly, which hardly seems like an ergency asure.
"Set the Illusory World around the city’s outskirts; the inside won’t work, but externally, fooling the Illusory World won’t be easy for them. At the least, it can ensure harmful intentions can’t enter the urban area."
With a smirk, Feng Yuan explained. The ultimate move Illusory World definitely isn’t used in the city center, or it would be disastrous. He ntioned it because this ultimate move can determine if there is malicious intent.
For ghost series spirit beasts, identifying malicious intent in targets is extrely simple, but due to their nature, official squads like the Special Duty Team can’t use them on a large scale. Of course, if their tad beasts have ghost powers, restrictions don’t apply.
However, within the Special Duty Team, unlike taming Fiery Hounds, they wouldn’t ta ghost series spirit beasts as partners, as most city inhabitants feel a chill facing Death Series and ghost series spirit beasts.
Returning to the academy, everyone was stopped at the school gate for thorough inspections. Feng Yuan yawned, resting his hands behind his head, and said:
"What are they up to now? Preventing soone from sneaking into the school? It’s not very plausible, given the number of teachers here, attacking this place is akin to directly assaulting the Special Duty Team’s base. Actually, attacking the Special Duty Team might even be easier."
"Stop speaking recklessly!"
Qi Chen noticed the gazes of others turning and couldn’t help but reprimand. This guy doesn’t consider the setting when speaking. Veronia smiled lightly, twirling the parasol in her hand and said:
"They might even deem you a villain intent on sabotaging the academy~"
"Forget it, I’m not interested in that. The sooner they finish the inspection, the sooner I can rest. I’m dead tired."
Yawning, Feng Yuan said tiredly. Qi Chen curiously looked at Feng Yuan and said:
"You don’t seem to have done anything, so why are you...tired?"
"Isn’t it because of Mingjing Lake? Tsk, those guys are continuously launching attacks insanely. Yimu Qingling and Agunas are busy clearing them out. I wonder where these people are coming from."
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Initially, he thought the matter was settled, who knew another wave of people would appear. While Yimu Qingling and Agunas cleared them out, Tianlan City afterwards also entered a state of highest alert due to this operation targeting teor Pavilion.
"Over there...it’s not over yet?"
Dou Yanlan paused, surprised, and asked. Yawning, Feng Yuan said helplessly:
"For the mont, it’s temporarily fine, but who knows if there will be another wave of attacks later. Tsk, teor Pavilion showed up at the worst ti. Those guys seem purely to be using it as a pretext, their true goals remain hard to ascertain."
At any rate, he doesn’t believe such an extravagant move was just for a single teor Pavilion. Despite its recovery period, sending so many people, could their aim be to snatch an unusable teorite for research?
"You...have business?"
The Grand Elder, seeing the pale-faced man standing in his office, paused for a mont, closed the door behind him, and asked. Old Wei looked at the other party and said seriously:
"What exactly do they want to do?"
"Haha, can’t you tell?"
"Aren’t you worried about the risk of failure with what you’re doing?"
Staring at the Grand Elder, Old Wei furrowed his brow. The opponent clearly did not expect Old Wei to question him on this matter. The two locked eyes in silence for a long ti before the Grand Elder finally broke it, saying:
"But I’m running out of ti, and they have all agreed to this. If sothing unexpected happens, there are redial asures in place. As for you, this matter..."
"It’s nothing to do with , true, but I don’t want to see this matter end in regret for you due to unforeseen circumstances."
Looking at the Grand Elder, Old Wei said coldly. The other party smiled and said:
"Why can’t you be friends with her? Clearly, compared to her, I’m not suitable to be your friend."
"Hmph, when did you start judging by just the data on paper? Forget it, since you’re prepared, I don’t want to argue more with you..."
Waving his hand, Old Wei turned to the shadows, but just as he was about to step into them, he seed to rember sothing and said:
"When you have ti, accompany for a walk."
"You’ll have to wait for quite so ti."
With a smile, the Grand Elder said, but by that ti, Old Wei had already stepped into the shadows and couldn’t hear what was being said.
The next morning, rushing to the classroom, Feng Yuan found the atmosphere inside felt a bit off. Seeing the horoom teacher standing at the podium, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said confusedly:
"What’s happening here? Why is the horoom teacher here? Did sothing happen again?"
"Ergency requisition; all the academy’s students are to take part in patrol duties. Accordingly, make-up classes over the weekend will compensate for the missed hours once things settle."
Wu Dingwu glanced at Feng Yuan and said. At that mont, he was discussing with other classmates which senior classmates to team up with, as the patrol duty was executed school-wide, and as first-year freshn, they obviously couldn’t handle such a risky task alone.
Scratching his chin, Feng Yuan looked at the horoom teacher puzzledly. He couldn’t understand how just one night’s sleep could lead to yet another incident.
