Chapter 161: #161 - Prepare to shock the world a little

As evening approached;

The first day's teaching results were to be assessed.

Fu Jian stood before Ling Tong, Shen Hai, and the other seven semi-human mechs, refusing the greatsword offered by Wang Ji Xuan. He took off his windbreaker and tossed it aside, revealing his robust mechanical body, the mechanical eye on his left side flashing red.

A red circle, about five meters in diameter, was drawn by a drone above Fu Jian's head.

Wang Ji Xuan shouted from the side, holding a loudspeaker:

"Because it's the first day of training, ranged weapons are not allowed today. Any defensive equipment can be used, safety first."

"The Commander-in-Chief cannot leave this boundary."

"All seven of you, perk up! This is a rare opportunity to challenge the Commander-in-Chief!"

"There are no drones guiding you now. Always remember your respective numbers, concentrate fully, and don't make mistakes in your movements. One mistake, and all seven are wiped out."

"Today is the first day, so I won't ask you to change formations based on the enemy's position. Pay attention to Shen Hai's position, all changes are based on his gestures and follow his commands... Come on, let's see what you're made of."

"Remember those three key points! One, equal distance front and back! Two, maintain a constant distance from your teammates! Three, don't attack when it's not your turn!"

"Get ready... Begin!"

Shen Hai took a deep breath: "One!"

The seven instantly jumped to the left and right, taking up the Seven Stars positions, each facing Fu Jian, raising the non-crystal core greatswords in their hands.

Fu Jian raised his chin at the seven.

Shen Hai immediately shouted: "Two!"

The seven moved forward simultaneously, their positions changing, creating an illusion.

Fu Jian immediately sensed something was wrong. Two greatswords cut into the red light, slashing towards him.

Fu Jian clenched his fists, magnetic fields erupting from his knuckles.

The two greatswords were quickly deflected!

Wang Ji Xuan's shout came from outside: "Maintain formation when encountering the enemy! Hold back some strength when attacking! Seven as one, the Big Dipper changes!"

Shen Hai roared: "Three, four, five!"

The seven semi-human mechs dashed forward and jumped sideways in sync, constantly drawing their swords and charging. Having been through many battles and equipped with mechanical arms, even if they were only using cold weapon greatswords, their offensive was still not to be underestimated.

If viewed from directly above, it could be seen that the seven's landing points each time formed different directions of the Seven Stars formation, just like a Big Dipper constellation rotating rapidly.

Each time the formation changed, two greatswords would attack Fu Jian, and the attack angles constantly changed.

Fu Jian's expression gradually became serious. He had already activated his shield, which occasionally flickered with a faint light.

He had been hit!

Wang Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "The speed can still be increased! Your potential is very high! Keep it up!"

Shen Hai shouted: "Basic cycle! Double speed!"

The Big Dipper flickered non-stop, the handle seeming to chop and slash at Fu Jian. Fu Jian's performance was limited within the red light. Relying on the enhancement of the Super Armament System, his fists continued to smash out.

The young semi-human mechs' attacks came from almost all directions!

In the beginning, Ling Tong and the others were still chopping and slashing horizontally, but as the formation changes accelerated, most of them switched to stabbing straight with their swords!

Fu Jian drew two alloy daggers from his waist, flipping them up and down, waving them around his body, creating afterimages.

The clanging sounds of collisions were endless. The old semi-human mech transmitted powerful force through the blades, and the sword formation's offensive immediately slowed down.

The seven tacitly activated their own force fields, gradually adapting to Fu Jian's powerful strength. The basic changes of the sword formation became more and more skilled, and some staggered changes began to appear.

Wang Ji Xuan smiled with satisfaction on the side. This was much more powerful than he had imagined.

The high execution ability and high-tech weapons and equipment of the semi-human mechs, combined with his Seven Stars Sword Formation, actually had such an effect!

This intelligent little brain still needs to be used often!

Daoist Wang held up the loudspeaker and shouted:

"The Commander-in-Chief has many flaws! He is not very good at using cold weapons, he must be used to using super cannons. His daggers have weaknesses!"

Almost as soon as Wang Ji Xuan finished speaking, Ling Tong and another battle maiden rotated according to the formation, already rushing in front of Fu Jian.

The battle maiden slashed horizontally with her greatsword, Ling Tong stabbed diagonally with her greatsword. One of Fu Jian's daggers was thrown backwards with a light clang, Ling Tong's greatsword resting against Fu Jian's neck, firmly blocked by the shield.

Fu Jian raised his hand to signal to stop, and Ling Tong quickly retracted her sword.

The seven jumped back, landing still maintaining the position of the sword formation.

Anyone could see that if it weren't for Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian's super shield, and the weapon levels on both sides not being on the same level, Fu Jian would have already been injured by the seven's siege.

Of course, the Commander-in-Chief hasn't lost half a screw either. The Super Armament System was originally the main combat advantage of super high modification.

Because Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian's expression was not very good, these seven semi-human mechs were also a little apprehensive.

"Not bad," Fu Jian slowly uttered these two words.

Zhou Zhengde, afraid of making everyone feel awkward, excitedly shouted from the side: "My heavens! If this kind of formation is practiced a little more, and combined with high-frequency destruction cannons, there is definitely a chance to kill an S-level esper!"

Zheng Shiduo quickly ran over, picked up Fu Jian's dagger, and presented it back to Fu Jian.

"Today is just the most basic."

Wang Ji Xuan put his hands in his pockets, smiling smugly on the side.

He suddenly realized...

...that the sense of accomplishment is even greater when the 'disciples' he teaches are more promising than he is!

Daoist Wang said lazily:

"Tomorrow afternoon I will teach the second and third sets of changes. There are a total of nine sets of changes, sixty-three variations."

"Later I will create a special device for you that can mobilize spirit energy, release mist, and use it in conjunction with this sword formation. With your slashing blade suits, you can directly execute S-level espers."

"When you have practiced proficiently, you can also form a formation with the semi-human mechs' exclusive mechs, and it can also be used to deal with King-level Blade Beasts."

"This is the focus of your semi-human mech team's next training."

Everyone's spirits were greatly lifted, and Ling Tong's gaze towards Wang Ji Xuan was full of light.

At this moment, the eighth semi-human mech, who had not yet appeared, couldn't help but raise his hand: "Teacher Wang! Why does a seven-person formation need an eighth person? I want to join too!"

"This is a backup force. When you guys practice on your own, the eight of you can take turns resting."

Wang Ji Xuan said loudly:

"This sword formation is called the Seven Stars Sword Formation. The Seven Stars belong to Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid."

"Right now, you can't even be considered beginners, because Shen Hai has always been in the Megrez position, and the six of you are constantly changing positions. The real entry-level is when all seven of you can change positions at will, and each change of position is the sword formation attacking, not you individually attacking. This is a great test of your tacit understanding."

"The master leads you in, but the cultivation is up to you."

"Keep practicing, everyone!"

"When you reach the point where the changes are at will, even if someone takes a picture of your sword formation, they won't be able to learn it without the core principles of the formation changes."

Fu Jian had already put on his windbreaker, put his hands in his pockets, and walked to Wang Ji Xuan's side.

Daoist Wang waved to his students: "See you tomorrow!"

Everyone there answered in unison: "Goodbye, Teacher!"

"Yeah, okay."

Fu Jian took two steps ahead, walking side by side with Wang Ji Xuan, as if chatting about something.

When the two turned the corner...

Fu Jian grabbed Wang Ji Xuan's neck and strangled him tightly.

"You little rascal! Why didn't you tell me this sword formation was so powerful! Don't I need to save face!"

"Oh my god, I'm going to die, I'm going to die... I didn't expect you to be so weak with cold weapons... Who knew your combat power was all on the Super Weapon System!"

"Still talking!"

"Let go! Otherwise, I'll quit teaching!"

"Heh heh heh, young people shouldn't get so angry so easily. The cause of resisting Blade Beasts needs you. Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to Zheng Hong's house for a drink. My little refrigerator has been chilling two cans of wheat juice for you."

"I'll only go if your daughter cooks."

"We're eating canned food today."

"Then there's no problem."

In the training ground, Zhou Zhengde replaced the tired Wan Xiaoqi in controlling the drones. The Buddha Hall Squad, the Pinnacle Maid Troupe, and the Semi-human Mech Team began their first day of extra training.

Extra training naturally comes at a price.

The price was that during the cultural class the next morning, this group of people were slumped over, constantly 'kowtowing' and offering New Year greetings to Teacher Wang.

A certain former Great Ascension Stage special teacher who had a burst of inspiration after the first day of teaching and stayed up all night creating a bunch of new tricks: ...

Human elites, is that it?

Their energy is really lacking.

...

During the physical education class the next afternoon, Fu Jian was accompanied by two old men in white coats and several more instruments.

With Wang Ji Xuan's permission, they were using a supercomputer to verify the changes of the Seven Stars Sword Formation and the operating mechanism of the Seven Stars Sword Formation.

Soon, they became extremely excited.

After simulated calculations, they had determined that when seven semi-human mechs performed the Seven Stars Sword Formation, their distance could be extended to fifty meters apart, equipped with various weapons and equipment...

They really could deploy the Seven Stars Sword Formation with fifteen-meter-class exclusive mechs!

Without considering the impact of the Blade Beast tide, assuming that human firepower completely suppressed the Blade Beast tide, as long as seven fifteen-meter-class exclusive mechs were sent close to the King-level Blade Beast, and the surrounding area was spacious enough, the probability of defeating the King-level Blade Beast would be between sixty percent and ninety percent!

Fifteen-meter-class exclusive mechs can be directly air-dropped, and their mobility is much stronger than terror mechs!

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Two of the semi-human mech project's technology leaders were a little excited:

"We can use this set of combined attack methods to besiege King-level Blade Beasts!"

"We had considered this kind of attack formation before, but it has always been ineffective, and the interference between each other is very serious!"

"But this time it's completely different. The seven of them can actually be like a whole. Although there is no strong mutual connection, they are a whole!"

"The most amazing thing is that we sensed the flow of psionic energy among the seven of them, which is a bit too incredible…"

"This is soul resonance triggered by the formation."

Wang Jixuan, who had wandered over at some point, leaned against the support pole of the sunshade and calmly explained:

"The main function of this sword formation is actually that when all seven of them focus their attention, their souls can have a slight resonance."

"Therefore, each person's condition is very important. The existence of the eighth person is to replace whoever is not in good condition."

"One person's mistake will drag down the other six."

The two old men quickly stood up and humbly greeted, "Teacher Wang."

"Professors, you're too kind. Uncle Tai asked me to send his regards. He's busy with the transfer of the Crimson Serpent and can't come over to say hello."

Wang Jixuan said with a smile, then raised an eyebrow at Fu Jian:

"Commander-in-chief, how is it?

"I wasn't boasting when I was drinking yesterday, right?"

Fu Jian frowned and asked, "Are there any formations more advanced than this one?"

"This is the strongest and most complex sword formation that Shen Hai and the others can handle. After all, they are semi-mechanical bodies."

Wang Jixuan said seriously:

"I don't really want you to teach this formation to other war zones for the time being.

"Of course, if the situation is urgent and the Blade Beasts are attacking too aggressively, it can be taught, but only the first three transformations.

"This ban will be lifted later."

— When he enters the Golden Core Realm, he can freely promote the Seven Stars Sword Formation to the semi-human mechs in the entire human camp.

Anyway, he knows the method to break it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you on these matters. You are the patent holder."

Fu Jian looked towards the training ground, where Shen Hai was leading the team in practicing the second and third transformations.

In a corner of the training ground, Mudan commanded seven new maids, practicing an even more complex and exquisite Seven Stars Formation.

The mechanical bodies cooperated more tacitly, performing more changes in the sword formation, and their movements were more precise.

This peak maid group is the real [S-Class Assassin].

Fu Jian said, "I will equip you with eight Destruction Cannons with self-destruct devices, which will be delivered within a week. All eight of your loyal wingmen can use them. They will also be needed to take action when we attack the Psionic Capital later."

"No problem, I'm training them to deal with Huo Rong and his gang."

Wang Jixuan shrugged:

"Compared to these, please prepare the list that Zheng De gave you as soon as possible. That is the most important thing.

"Besides that, I have some other requests."

"Feel free to make any requests, we can fulfill them all."

"In the entire human territory, or in any territory you can reach, find me some flowers, plants, and trees that have been around for as long as possible. Collect their branches and twigs, without harming the roots and stems. Mark the collection points and send the samples over."

Wang Jixuan earnestly instructed:

"The Blade Beasts have been invading for over a hundred years, these plants and trees might have gained some spirituality."

Fu Jian looked at Dongfang Zhenghong beside him, who immediately nodded: "Noted, Commander-in-chief."

"Are there any other requests?"

"Aren't you going to ask me what this is for?"

"There's no need to ask too much, and you wouldn't say much anyway."

A hint of a smile appeared on Fu Jian's mechanical face:

"If there's nothing else, go train quickly. The border will open for war in as early as twelve days. If the seven of them can use their exclusive mechs to cooperate with secondary terror mechs to kill a King-level Blade Beast, it will have a huge impact on the world's landscape.

"The technology of semi-human mechs is shared by the nine major war zones, and most of the patents are here with us.

"Let them give the world a little shock, temporarily repel the Blade Beasts, and buy us some breathing room, then we can solve the remaining problems of the Psionic Capital!

"Humanity might usher in a turning point because of this."

Wang Jixuan nodded, turned around, and strolled back to the training ground to continue guiding the semi-human mech team.

The good show on the psionic energy team's side is yet to come.

Fu Jian was a little puzzled: "Wasn't my speech just now inspiring enough?"

"It was very inspiring," Dongfang Zhenghong said with a smile, "I was thrilled!"

"Then why is he so calm?"

The old scientist next to him grinned: "Commander-in-chief, he may have seen a broader world, the stars once twinkled for him."

Fu Jian curled his lips.

The cold treatment he's received in the past fifty years doesn't add up to what he's received in the past few days!

"Choose weaker King-level targets for those seven, invest more resources to guarantee success, this battle must be fought beautifully enough."

"Yes!"

The fifth day of Wang Zheng's little classroom.

On the edge of the Psionic Capital, inside a stealth transport plane slowly leaving the satellite city base.

Aunt Dragonfly yawned and opened the refrigerator door, instinctively reaching for the red wine, but her eyes fell on the bottles of talisman water, and her fingers moved to the left, taking a glass of nutritional yogurt.

Closing the refrigerator, the small mirror on the refrigerator door swayed, reflecting Aunt Dragonfly's chubby face, which was beginning to regain its charm.

The swelling all over her body had subsided, her skin had become fair, and although she couldn't be called a great beauty, she had some charm.

Drinking a bottle of talisman water every twenty days, her head no longer hurt, her back no longer ached, and she could sleep peacefully every night, no longer suffering from nightmares.

Even her period, which had stopped for several years, had recently returned, and she had begun to criticize photos of handsome men in the dead of night.

'This Black Storm… isn't he being too godly?'

Aunt Dragonfly took a sip of yogurt and turned her head to see the burly figure coming out of the cockpit.

It was Mane Bear, who had already returned to the team.

"Captain, what is our mission this time?"
