Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Meng Chao gasped in amazement. “Then, your female squad leader rose to power in one go, right? It’s no wonder why she can kill seven Lightning Dragons in one breath. Has she already reached Heaven Realm?”

“No. Even though Female Battle God Su Jianqing was one of the best fighters in Dragon City, she died tragically, and the power that remained in her soul isn’t much. She has also been exposed to the elements and all sorts of radiation in the wild for twenty years. When she was awakened by Shao Jianqing, she was so weak that she was basically a candle in the wind. She was about to disappear at any moment,” Chu Feixiong explained.

“Also, when Shao Jianqing was first possessed by the heroic spirit, she killed seven Lightning Dragons, which, as you know, are the kings of Nightmarish Beasts. It drained her heroic spirit. It’d be the same as you suddenly releasing an explosive power and killing the Bloody Moon Wolf King. She created a miracle, but it’s one she cannot reproduce, and she suffered a lot of terrible consequences because of it.

“Right now, Shao Jianqing is still a one-star superhuman. Of course, she’s definitely at the peak of Spirit Tattoo Realm. Perhaps when she’s in a bad mood someday, she’ll explode and become a two-star superhuman.

“Also, no matter what, she has obtained the Female Battle God’s legacy. Even if we don’t talk about her strength, her potential in cultivating and fighting are both first class. Her speed of improvement is also much higher than that of a normal superhuman.

“As long as she continues getting in touch with the people Su Jianqing was close with, her disciples, her items, the environment she once immersed herself in, and continues down the path Su Jianqing took, her soul will resonate with Su Jianqing, and she’ll have a high chance of reaching Heaven Realm or even Deity Realm.”

“I see.” Meng Chao nodded, then frowned. “Why haven’t I heard about such shocking news before? Logically speaking, if the Female Battle God’s heroic spirit found a successor, it would definitely attract the media and the Internet. This would be a hot topic for a few months, wouldn’t it?”

“It’s because General Shao intentionally suppressed the news. I already told you, he’s a prude when it comes to morals. Also, I heard that he doesn’t have a good time in the Red Dragon Army. Many people criticize him by saying that his fighting style is too fierce and he doesn’t know how to change.

“If he kills one thousand enemies, he loses five hundred of his own soldiers. There’s an endless supply of monsters, so Dragon City can’t afford to give him groups of five hundred soldiers to sacrifice,” Chu Feixiong pursed his lips. “I don’t really agree with the general’s fighting style either. Even Shao Jianqing criticizes him at times, and she’s his daughter!”

“Wait…” Meng Chao was pensive. “Since General Shao intentionally suppressed the news, why do you know so much about it? You even know the details of her picking up a rusty, mottled, and broken sword to kill seven Lightning Dragons. You also know about her criticizing General Shao sometimes? What? Did she talk about her father in front of you? There’s something going on here!”

Chu Feixiong’s face turned red.

Even if three layers of his skin were peeled off because after being exposed to the sun, his dark tone could not hide the dark flush.

“Where was I? Oh, yes, there might be some difficulty in Shao Jianqing becoming the strongest one-star superhuman and becoming a two-star superhuman in a grand fashion. Right now, all the strongest Spirit Tattoo Realm people among our peers are monsters like Shao Jianqing.”

Chu Feixiong coughed dryly and quickly changed the topic of conversation. “I went about asking for information, but I won’t talk about those in Dragon City University. Let’s just talk about the ones in the alliance of the five universities. Did you know that there are already four among us who are specially recruited to enter the fighting occupations?

“I talked about Shao Jianqing just now. You have Wu Wu from Agricultural University’s monster controller course. I heard that she’s the Panther Girl who grew up in the wild. You must know her better than I do, so I won’t go into detail about her.

“Then, there’s another monster in the military school’s martial arts course. His father is an ace sharpshooter in the Red Dragon Army, and his mother is a weapons specialist who specializes in developing new guns.

“He inherited his parents’ talent, and shooting a target accurately while he’s one hundred steps away or delivering a headshot while he’s eight hundred meters away are all basic skills for him. They’re not worthy of being mentioned at all. His greatest skill is controlling more than one hundred bullets to hit more than one hundred targets at the same time, and all of them will hit bullseye!”

“That’s…” Meng Chao believed that his shooting was first class, but even he found it impossible to believe what he heard. “Getting bullseye out of all one hundred shots isn’t hard, the problem is doing it at the same time. That’s impossible!”

“I heard that he awakened to a supernatural ability that allows him to control metal. I don’t know the details or the principle behind this, but it seems like he uses his vitality magnetic field to surround the bullets. He can turn more than one hundred bullets into micro missiles in some sense.

“Under this monster’s leadership, the martial arts course this year has actually managed to fight on equal grounds with the heroic spirit course during our few tournaments.

“He is known as the future star of the Gun Fighting Style. When he arrived in Shattered Starlake, he shot through countless monsters’ eyeballs and brains. He has even been chosen twice as the Daily Star!”

Chu Feixiong stopped talking for a moment. “But this guy has run into quite a few opponents. Our Shao Jianqing is definitely one of them, and there’s also a guy from the University of Technology’s machine course.

“His parents are machine masters for a mining company. Twenty years ago, when they were exploring a mine, they got exposed to an unidentified crystal that released high amounts of radiation for a long time. At that time, his mother didn’t know that she was pregnant.

“In the end, the adults were fine, but the baby, which was born later, did not have legs and a right arm. He only had a left arm.

“Logically speaking, with a handicap like this, it should have been very difficult for him to survive in the tough and despair-inducing environment in Dragon City.

“But not only did he inherit his parents’ talents, he seemed to have been enlightened by the radiation from the mysterious crystals, for he’s a genius mechanic. When he was in the upper levels of elementary school, he was influenced by his parents’ actions and built himself a mechanical arm and a pair of mechanical legs.

“When he reached middle school, not a single person in his age group was his opponent in the robotics competitions. When he reached high school, he looked down on attending high school competitions. Instead, he joined his parents’ mining company and mingled around with real, experienced machine masters.

“Now, he installed the best technology from strengthened exoskeletons, maglev technology, and automatic fire control systems into his mechanical arm and legs. They have been upgraded more than ten times.

“The fighting strength in the newest version is very shocking. He can even control dozens of unmanned fighting vehicles and intelligent fighting vehicles at the same time. He is a tactical assault squad on his own. He has ‘soldiers’ all around him, and he’s incredibly awesome!”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and thought about it for a long time.

“Wait, what did you say just now?” He gave his best friend a profound look. “Did you just say OUR Shao Jianqing?”

Chu Feixiong looked at him gloomily. “Will you pay attention to the main point? Is the main point my grudge with that woman? The main point is that having good grades during the national college examination is nothing. At most, you’re just a normal genius. The ones who don’t need to take part in the national college examination and have the universities offer them all sorts of great conditions to join them are the real geniuses!

“I heard that you did pretty well during the admission test of Agricultural University’s martial arts course and suppressed the Four Great Kings with brute force, right? That’s awesome, but I have to say, you don’t have the right to be called strong just because you scored high during your national college examination.

“Shao Jianqing, Wu Wu, the future star of the martial arts course’s gun fighting style, and the machine maniac from the University of Technology’s machine course are the real Four Great Kings of the alliance of five universities!”

“Are they?” Meng Chao asked with a frown. “Are Shao Jianqing and the rest really as good as Wu Wu?”

Chu Feixiong nodded. “I don’t know how strong the monster controller course’s Wu Wu is, but since they’re all specially recruited for the fighting courses, they should be about the same strength, right?”

“That’s good.” Meng Chao’s frown disappeared. “If they’re really powerful enemies who are about the same level as Wu Wu, I won’t be so lonely walking down my path of a superhuman.”

Chu Feixiong looked at him as if he had something to say. Then, he stood up and started walking outside.

Meng Chao was a little stunned. “Where are you going? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I can’t eat while looking at you,” Chu Feixiong said. “It’s better if I use every single second I have to hunt Three-eyed Spirit Cats to prove to that Shao Jianqing that the Army Fist can kill nimble monsters.”

“Alright, give me your tactical communications number. We’ll meet up at night. Get a few more boys from the military school, and we can criticize the Ultimate Style together.”

Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong exchanged temporary contact information.

“Stupid Soldier, we’re leaving!” Chu Feixiong sighed and glanced at the faint green humanoid-shaped spirit floating dumbly behind him. “Forget about ‘becoming the strongest among those in the Spirit Tattoo Realm and suppressing the female squad leader’. We should just work hard and become stronger. Even if we become the second weakest heroic spirit and heroic spirit user, at least it won’t be as embarrassing as it was in the past, right?”

Xu Wanshan seemed to be able to understand his heroic spirit user’s words.

He did not seem to have any sort of displeasure toward being called Stupid Soldier. A matter-of-fact expression appeared on his rather blurry face, as if this was the name that he was supposed to have. He trailed behind Chu Feixiong quietly as if he was following his former squad leader in the past.

“Hang on,” Meng Chao said when they were about to disappear. “Is your heroic spirit really called Stupid Soldier?”

A heroic spirit born from fragments was a different thing compared to a powerful fighter when they were alive.

Heroic spirits were not ghosts, but neither were they people. They were powerful determination and a brand of will. They were like psychological pictures and videos.

A powerful fighter’s fragmented soul could be divided to form multiple heroic spirits.

And when countless fighters’ fragmented souls shared the same wish, mindset, and determination, they could gather together to form a heroic spirit.

Hence, heroic spirits were usually not known by their original name. Instead, they had a nickname that represented their characteristic, origin, or wish.

Shao Jianqing’s heroic spirit was not known as Su Jianqing, but Female Battle God.

“It’s fine,” Chu Feixiong said nonchalantly. “Xu Wanshan’s former squad leader and comrades called him this in the past.”

“Would you be the same as his former squad leader and comrades?” Meng Chao asked. “Even if he was just a logistics officer when he died, he still joined the army earlier than you, and based on the rules of the army, he’s your senior, right? Don’t go looking down on him because he’s weak. I think he’s pretty unlucky to get a heroic spirit user like you.

“Besides, once you start practicing the Ultimate Style and become stronger, you’ll be improving by leaps and bounds. When you become a war hero, the media and citizens will be cheering for you. Other heroic spirit users will say their heroic spirits are Thunder God, Female Battle God, Black Guardian God, and whatnot, which are awe-inspiring and grand names, but you will say Stupid Soldier? Who do you think will be embarrassing who at that time?”

“Makes sense. Looks like I should give him a proper name.” Chu Feixiong scratched his head and stared at his heroic spirit for a long time before he sighed. “Honestly, I’ve thought of it before. After I inherited the will of a powerful fighter, I would give it the name of Lightning General, Grand Marshal, Guardian Vanguard or something that sounds really domineering, but if I use them on him, it’ll be wrong, and people will laugh at him.

“You’ve only been a foot soldier your entire life, and I don’t think I’ll have the chance of becoming a general so… I’ll call you Soldier!”

Soldier was very satisfied with his new name.

The spirit flames gathered together to form a huge, honest, and pure smile.

It was as if he had just received the best name in the world.

Chu Feixiong could only smile in resignation. He clenched his fists tightly and stepped on the mysterious battlefield with Soldier.
