159: Psychic Warrior

Random Gravity Zone.

Boom!

A figure plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the Surface, kicking up a cloud of dust.

“Pah!”

“Is this what an Advanced Aerial Warrior of a High Martial Civilization is like?”

“I thought he had some skill!”

“This level of skill dares to block my path!”

“He must have eaten the guts of a Kun heart leopard!”

The black-robed man, holding a massive scythe, mocked Pang Tian Ce, who had been struck down by him in a few moves.

Although the black robe concealed his face, a strong sense of ridicule could still be felt.

You Zhong looked at Pang Tian Ce, who had just been standing in front of him, arms spread like a giant eagle.

Now, he was slumped on the Surface in a sorry state, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he planned to leave directly.

However, before leaving, he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, “How did you find me?”

“Although I knew someone would come to stop me, the Border City I departed from and the route I chose were both randomly determined.”

Looking at You Zhong, whose Life Ignition Cord was about to burn out, Pang Tian Ce had no intention of hiding anything and pointed to the Storage Ring on his right hand:

“information chip.”

“information chip?” You Zhong mumbled, seemingly puzzled.

After crossing the ecological perimeter's cordon, any tracking or positioning methods on a wristband should be ineffective, shouldn't they?

However, he quickly realized something:

“So that’s it, your ability allows you to establish a connection with a marker!”

“What are you still blabbering about?!”

The voice of the black-robed man came from above.

“Hurry up and kill those 5 Grade A students. These Little Chicks are very weak right now.”

“Killing them at this time will incur the least cost.”

“Eliminating them in their infancy now is equivalent to eliminating future Sky Soaring Warriors!”

You Zhong did not dare to be careless upon hearing this. After all, he had a quota to meet. If he didn't kill enough Geniuses, his wife and children's safety could not be guaranteed.

Fortunately, he was currently in a stationary state, and his Life Ignition Cord was burning very slowly.

Although he was in a gravity zone, this level of gravity did not pose any pressure to a Sky Soaring Warrior.

Now that Pang Tian Ce had also fallen, no one could stop him.

Just as You Zhong ascended, preparing to take flight.

Above, there was a sudden “buzz,” and an invisible pressure permeated from top to bottom.

Such powerful Mental Energy!

The black-robed man, who had just been gesticulating and roaring at You Zhong, was startled by this sudden Mental Energy.

“I’m really getting senile. Why would I, a Mental Energy Martial Artist, fight you 1v1 head-on?”

“What?!”

“Mental Energy Martial Artist?!”

The black-robed man looked at Pang Tian Ce, who had suddenly spoken from the Surface, in shock.

One must know that only those whose Life Strength and Martial Skill were both lacking, but whose Mental Energy was outstanding, were called Mental Energy Martial Artists.

But the opponent's Life Strength had already reached Level 25.

Could this still be considered lacking?

Or rather, compared to his Mental Energy, it seemed lacking?

If the Mental Energy in the sky belonged to the opponent, then it seemed to make sense.

Before he could think further, a blue crack suddenly appeared in the sky.

A few seconds later, the crack opened to both sides, forming a portal.

Immediately after, a man with a long braided hairstyle walked out from it.

Seeing this, Pang Tian Ce wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb and chuckled at the black-robed man:

“Sorry, what I’m best at isn’t fighting.”

“It’s calling for backup!”

The black-robed man now stared at the long-braided man who had emerged from the sky portal as if facing a formidable enemy, his pupils slightly dilated:

“Level 28 Life Strength fluctuation!”

...

A wasteland.

Chen Du lowered his head, looking at the motionless half-corpse on the Surface, his eyes narrowed, wondering what he was thinking.

With a thought, Chen Du used the Hand of God, swapping positions with the spot behind him.

The swap distance was not far, only two hundred meters.

Then, he once again used the Hand of Atim, extending his right hand forward.

With his right arm as the source, a milky-white giant hand, ten times thicker than a normal arm, flew forward.

Although 0.5 Hals was already a corpse, Chen Du was still afraid of unexpected changes.

After all, the opponent was a Sky Soaring Warrior, and it wouldn't be strange if he had some hidden tricks even after death.

For example, the Sand Dune Civilization that he and You Zhong encountered in the desert before.

Angel, whom Chen Du killed, had a Little Flying Bug inside him, a robot that could transmit information back.

If it weren't for that Little Flying Bug, Chen Du's information would not have been known by the Sand Dune Civilization.

And the situation where Hals ambushed him would certainly not have occurred today.

However, even if his information had not been known by the opponent, this kind of thing would be encountered sooner or later in the future, as the Geniuses of other Alien Civilizations were considered resources in the eyes of the Sand Dune Civilization.

He didn't know if Hals had a Little Flying Bug inside him.

If so, was it in the upper body or the lower body?

Chen Du hoped it was, and in the upper body, so he could deal with the Little Flying Bug immediately.

Now that he had Advanced to Martial Artist and his strength had greatly increased, if he encountered a Little Flying Bug again, he was confident he could destroy it in the air.

However, it didn't matter if there wasn't one. The opponent's lower body was very far from here, so it certainly wouldn't obtain his information.

Chen Du used the Hand of Atim, from two hundred meters away, to remove Hals's Storage Ring from his left ring finger.

The process went smoothly, without any unexpected situations.

But Chen Du was still not at ease.

This was the first time he had done such a thing, so he had to be extra careful and cautious.

To prevent any unknown risks within the ring, Chen Du injected a trace of Mental Energy into it through the Hand of Atim.

Only after confirming that this Storage Ring was free of any risks did he retract his hand and bring it before him.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Du found that this Storage Ring was actually of the same grade as his own!

This indirectly indicated that the Sand Dune Civilization's development level in some aspects was inferior to that of a High Martial Civilization.

Or, it could be understood that their foundation was inferior to that of a High Martial Civilization.

The rings worn by Sky Soaring Warriors of a High Martial Civilization would be more Advanced than his own.

But that wasn't the point.

The contents of the ring were the point.

What exactly would be inside a Sky Soaring Warrior's Storage Ring?

Chen Du couldn't help but get excited at the thought.

Immediately, he injected another trace of Mental Energy into it.

“Sure enough, it’s the same as mine.”

Chen Du looked at the 5 cubic meter space and muttered to himself with some disappointment.

Originally, he had held a glimmer of hope, expecting this ring to be one of those outwardly plain but inwardly luxurious types.

A second ago, Chen Du had even fantasized about opening a huge space filled with treasures.

After all, this was a Sky Soaring Warrior's Storage Ring, so it wasn't impossible.

Indeed, things like pies falling from the sky are just like myths, existing only in legends.

Not only that, this Hals’s Storage Ring was terrifyingly “poor”!

It only contained some empty bottles and jars.

Presumably, to save his Life, he had consumed all the emergency medicines in the ring, as well as everything edible and inedible.

“No way?”

“Isn’t this an empty ring?”

As the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the harder the fall of disappointment!

Chen Du had really looked forward to a Sky Soaring Warrior's Storage Ring.

He never expected it to be a wasted effort, like drawing water with a bamboo basket. Could he only gain an empty ring?

To be honest, Chen Du hadn't even planned to keep this ring.

After all, it was something from the Sand Dune Civilization, and he was afraid the ring itself might have traps he couldn't detect.

Like a tracking device, for instance.

And he already had two such rings.

One was a prize for being in the top three of the Seven Regions Genius Battle, and the other was given by Qilin Martial Arts University.

The latter was given to all Qilin Class students.

For now, Chen Du didn't lack this.

It wasn't that he was wealthy, but rather that he wasn't currently the type who needed to travel frequently.

Aside from a few extra longswords, the ring would only contain some emergency medical supplies.

As for giving it to someone, that would be nice, but he was just afraid this ring was a ticking time bomb.

If it really had some kind of positioning capability, it would be troublesome.

“Sigh.”

Chen Du let out a slight sigh. Just as he was about to put the ring back on Hals’s hand, a gentle breeze blew, entering the Storage Ring that Chen Du was about to close.

A blueprint, whose back color matched the floor color of the Storage space, was unexpectedly lifted at a corner.

“Map?”
