515: It's me

“Who is this?”

Jiang Shenyi asked abruptly, thinking to himself, do these little brats under him not know that he is currently handling confidential matters? If it's not something of utmost importance, I'll scold you to death.

“It's me.”

Jiang Shenyi frowned. These two words sounded a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall them for a moment.

Then he looked down at the phone number again.

Unknown number.

What the hell!

Who the heck is this?

And who the heck dares to talk to me like that?

I asked who you are?

You tell me it's me!

What is 'it's me'?

People nowadays are truly Heaven-Defying!

Jiang Shenyi took a deep breath, maintaining his composure as a Great General, and asked, “Who exactly are you?”

“What's your surname, what's your name? Which unit taught you to speak like this?”

“Uh… Great General, I am Xiao Fan.”

The air suddenly fell silent, and the scene became a bit awkward.

Zhuge Tianming, who was beside him, frowned slightly. In his eyes, the Great General had been imposing without anger just a second ago, so why did his expression suddenly stiffen?

Did something bad happen?

Or should I leave first?

Finally, he very sensibly stood up, preparing to leave the secret room.

But suddenly.

The Great General raised his hand, signaling him not to go, and at the same time, said with a beaming face, “Oh! Xiao Fan!”

“Oh my, where have you been these two years that you disappeared?”

“Why are you suddenly calling me? Are you planning to participate in the Dignity Battle?”

As soon as these words came out.

Zhuge Tianming's pupils suddenly widened. All his idol burdens disappeared, and he excitedly stepped forward, almost leaning on the table to shout 'Captain'.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

He was excited!

Two years.

It had been two whole years since he last heard the Captain's voice.

If it weren't for the increasingly dense black mark belonging to the Captain on the Destiny Compass, he would have worried if something had happened to the Captain.

Now, hearing this, he's back.

That's great!

At this moment, on the other end of the phone, Xiao Fan chuckled, “Great General, is there anyone to deal with Kuang Xing? I heard Kuang Xing is very powerful now. Who are we planning to send against him?”

Jiang Shenyi sighed.

He's been getting a headache lately whenever he hears the name Kuang Xing.

According to Zhuge Tianming, this Kuang Xing is the legendary 'Son of the Version'.

He gets buffs just by lying down, and they're explosive buffs!

Only a T0-level Genius like Ying Zheng could possibly deal with him.

But Ying Zheng has to fight Zeus.

Wukong fights Apollo.

Xi He has to fight Lilith.

As for the others, whether it's Ling Tianlei, Lin Xianhuo, or even Hei, Ye Kuang, they can only be considered T1, and might not be able to defeat Kuang Xing, who has obtained three complete Ancestor Martial Arts Legacies.

However, now… “Xiao Fan, then Kuang Xing is up to you!” Jiang Shenyi said with a smile.

“You haven't regressed these two years, have you?”

Xiao Fan chuckled lightly, saying, “Still the strongest.”

“That's good!” Jiang Shenyi let out a long breath, his old face relaxing. It was as if a weight had been lifted from his mind.

At this moment, Xiao Fan continued, “Great General, I called you today for another matter I need to ask for your help with.”

“I guessed it.” Jiang Shenyi nodded slightly, saying, “The Eight Wilderness Bloodline, right?”

“Yes, after devouring the Eight Wilderness Bloodline, my Physical Body should be able to reach the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.”

“Major Achievement? Then it should be stable.” Jiang Shenyi's face was beaming with an irrepressible smile, saying, “Then you can come directly to Shanhai Pass. With your current speed, it won't take long to get here. After the Fusion is complete, we'll go to Ghost Forest together.”

Xiao Fan nodded heavily, saying, “Okay, but Great General, I still have one question.”

Soon, he asked about Lin Xianhuo.

Jiang Shenyi frowned after hearing it. He didn't know about this matter.

But Zhuge Tianming, who was beside him, knew.

He took the phone and said, “Don't worry, Senior Sister-in-law is fine.”

“She is trying to use a new power to awaken the Sun Fire, to raise herself to the T0 level.”

“Oh? Elaborate.” Xiao Fan listened intently.

Zhuge Tianming slowly said, “For this, you have to thank your good Senior Brother, Zheng Qiong.”

“Senior Brother Zheng?” Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking, has our Senior Brother become this amazing? Able to give Immortal Fire a chance to raise her strength to T0?

At this moment, Zhuge Tianming added, “And it's also not unrelated to you, Captain.”

“Stop talking nonsense, what exactly happened, hurry up and tell me.” Xiao Fan said with a laugh.

Zhuge Tianming chuckled, “Alright, simply put, this is what happened.”

“Your Senior Brother and your teacher, Grand Secretary Liu, had prepared many things for you before you disappeared, intending to bring them to Shanhai Pass for you.”

“But then, wasn't there an accident?”

“However, their research on Elements didn't stop, and they became even more obsessed, as if only by doing so could they forget about your supposed death.”

“Until over a year ago, various Heaven-Defying transformation-type Martial Arts appeared among the Ancestor Martial Arts awakened by the alien races.”

“This matter reached your Senior Brother and your teacher's ears. After all, their level was high enough, and the academy directly planned to have them conduct a special case study to see if they could research transformation-type Martial Arts that the Human Race could also use.”

“Of course, this matter is bound to be a long march, not something that can yield results overnight.”

“But one day, your Senior Brother Zheng Qiong suddenly had a wild fantasy. He thought that since you, Captain, need so many Element Seeds, and your talent can accommodate so many Element Seeds, then can we create Element Seeds ourselves?”

“Through transformation-type Martial Arts, convert the Element Seeds within the body into another Element Seed!”

“One Element Seed transforms into two different Elements!”

“Amazing, right?”

Zhuge Tianming said proudly.

Xiao Fan, however, was surprised, saying, “Directly convert Element Seeds using transformation-type Martial Arts? How is that possible?”

“Yes, how is that possible?” Zhuge Tianming sighed, “But your Senior Brother did it.”

“Even back then, we didn't have a single so-called transformation-type Martial Arts in our hands; everything was just 0.”

“But your Senior Brother seemed to suddenly have an Awakening, directly leaping from 0 to 10!”

No matter what you do, going from 0 to 1 is the hardest part. The common saying is “Awakening.” Whether this Awakening can happen, compared to hard work, relies more on a vague sense of luck, an Opportunity.

From 1 to 10, on the other hand, is theoretically simpler. The “Awakening” has already occurred; all that's needed is years of accumulation and continuous progress.

So what does it mean to go directly from 0 to 10?

This immediately made Xiao Fan think of three words.

Transmigration!

Only a future person who already has the answer, carrying that answer and Transmigrating to the present, could possibly do such a thing, right?

Otherwise, how could one achieve such a technological explosion-level growth in such a short time, relying solely on one's own thinking?

Moreover, listening to Zhuge Tianming, everything relied on Zheng Qiong alone.

He accomplished this feat by himself; even his teacher, Liu Tianguang, couldn't interfere with Zheng Qiong's research.

How absurd?

Of course, this was just Xiao Fan's fantasy.

PS: It should be fine now. I'll figure out how to deal with Lilith later, but because the pacing has changed, I'll be doing two chapters a day for these two days to stabilize the plot. The later parts will be just as exciting.
