Pei Yan's words resonated with the present mbers of the Origin Squad, and the looks of resentnt and the feelings of loneliness and sadness in Wang Wenze, Xia Yu, and the others were even stronger than in Pei Yan. Just like Pei Yan had previously shouted out Upper Star's na when thinking of the Spirit Monster Realm's superhumans, they too had not yet fully recovered from the sacrifices of Shangxing.
Compared to Pei Yan, they had spent even more ti with Shangxing and had built a deeper emotional connection. He was a good friend and elder, always treating others with kindness, silently taking care of the other team mbers. Ever since his sacrifice, Wang Wenze and the others, like Pei Yan, could only throw themselves entirely into training to numb and heal their wounds.
As the sad mood gradually spread among them, Gu Shenghui tily coughed twice and interjected, "Uh, ahem, what is your next question?"
"Ah!" Pei Yan loosened the upper part of his facial armor and rubbed his eyes. After slowly regaining his energy and spirit, he raised his head and continued, "Also, I want to ask if I should help the Hell Plane carry out operations against the Disaster Legion. This can both train and enhance my abilities and effectively delay the Disaster Legion's attack speed."
"Hmm." Gu Shenghui lowered his head, pondered for a mont, and then replied, "Yes, but you must ensure your own safety. I have already decided through the bottom bar to fully support the construction of the Otherworldly Investigation Hall. Besides conducting a comprehensive screening of superhumans, the Anjian and Golden Eagle squadrons will be officially expanded from their original units to the Investigation Hall action team. Our only requirent from above is to resolve this interdinsional war within the interdinsional realm at all costs, not allowing it to affect the real world!"
"Ah, with this directive, it's much easier for . I need weapons, a lot of weapons and materials, and also bunker-defeating bombs!" Pei Yan made no secret of voicing his desired list of weapons imdiately.
Upon hearing Pei Yan's audaciously long list, Gu Shenghui's face grew increasingly grim until he finally interrupted by waving his hand and said, "That's impossible!"
"Did you not say at all costs?" Pei Yan, upon hearing this, said discontentedly.
Gu Shenghui rubbed his nose bridge and sighed, "Other weapons and materials are easier to handle; Comrade BD can provide convenience and approve them quickly. However, bunker-defeating bombs are special munitions requiring ti for approval, and even if I arrange them for you now, it won't be in ti!" Saying this, Gu Shenghui raised his watch, tapped it, and said, "Ti, ti, the Space Tunnel can only be maintained for an hour and will automatically close. Ti will be long here, but in the real world, an hour is simply not enough for the things you ntioned."
"Then what should I do? Do I have to make another trip back to the real world?" Knowing that Gu Shenghui was speaking the truth, Pei Yan sat frustrated on a flat stone slab. He knew that the process from approval to allocation would be a day or two at the fastest, but a day or two in the real world translates to a month or two here, which he couldn't endure.
"For other weapons and materials, I'll return to prepare them for you right away. You won't need to assemble them; you can absorb directly from the warehouse via the Teleportation Array. Absorb whatever you can! As for the bunker-defeating bombs, you can talk to Engineer Li; he'll think of a way for you. Utilize your ability!" Gu Shenghui said.
Seeing Pei Yan nod in acceptance, he glanced at Xia Yu and the others before asking, "According to what you said, as the Origin, you can eliminate the Disaster Legion, absorb energy, and enhance strength. Should I leave the Origin Squad as your helpers, so you have support here whether advancing or retreating?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan imdiately prepared to refuse. It wasn't because he was narrow-minded and feared being surpassed by his companions, but rather he didn't want to experience the pain of losing friends again. This was not a training ground but a place surrounded by formidable enemies. His life and death didn't matter to him; he believed that with his ability, he could handle coming and going. But if he brought teammates, it would bind him significantly.
As he thought about this, just as he was about to refuse, Lin Junzhao's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, saying, "Agree with him, bring Xia Yu, your sister, and Ye Ruozai along!"
"No way!" Emotionally charged, Pei Yan burst out with words not relayed through consciousness.
"Why not!" Lin Junzhao's and Gu Shenghui's questioning voices ca simultaneously from inside and outside his head.
With a throbbing headache, Pei Yan shook his head and first gestured to Gu Shenghui, saying, "I'll answer you later!" Then he turned to a quiet place and responded in his mind, "If they co, I'll have my hands tied! I can't guarantee their safety!"
"Hehehe!" Lin Junzhao's mocking laughter ca from within his mind. Annoyed yet curious, Pei Yan's voice ca first, "After growing through this period, have you beco so full of yourself? What makes you think you're stronger than those three? Okay, I admit you are indeed stronger in comprehensive combat than Xia Yu, but your sister and that Ye Ruozai's potential is no less than yours. Don't forget your sister was the focus of my training from the start!"
Pausing here, Lin Junzhao said aningfully, "Also, that Ye Ruozai surprised from the mont I t him. I never imagined he would comprehend such capability, sothing I hadn't thought of either. Furthermore, when I tried to create similar rule fragnts while occupying your body, several attempts still couldn't succeed! Don't you find it fascinating? His ability seems to originate from yet is not entirely , like being gifted by heaven! This world truly is mysterious; he has imnse growth potential, and so does Xia Yu!"
"What kind of ability does Ye Ruozai have?" Pei Yan finally couldn't resist asking. He knew Ye Ruozai was strong; ever since joining the Bureau, people constantly instilled this concept into him. Initially, it was respect for elder friends, but later, after his strength greatly increased, Pei Yan also felt sowhat discontented, as a young person inevitably does in the vigorous and competitive age.
"Dao! The myriad manifestations of Dao you speak of!"
"Dao?" Pei Yan was puzzled. What kind of ability is that? The word is too broad!
"Everything has Dao; each ti he awakens and advances, he comprehends a kind of Dao, or rule!"
Listening to Lin Junzhao, Pei Yan was dumbfounded, unable to help but glance back at Ye Ruozai, who stood in the crowd, gripping his sword hilt alertly. Sensing Pei Yan's gaze, Ye Ruozai turned his head; their eyes t, and Ye Ruozai gave his signature smile, as warm as a spring breeze.
Pei Yan smiled back awkwardly in response, then turned his head away. No wonder Ye Jiumu said if Ye Ruozai weren't his twin brother, he'd suspect he was the reincarnation of so powerful Daoist Plane entity. It's understandable why those self-important Immortal Palace mbers would crave his talent, wanting to recruit him into their sect. Step by step, mastering rules is indeed the standard for a protagonist.
