591: Yang Lele's Poké Ball

Lei Ming was still worried about the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force.

After chatting with Yang Dian for a few more sentences, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped towards the spatial node of the Fengdu region.

Watching his anxious and flustered demeanor, Yang Dian couldn't help but curl his lips.

Before he could even complain, the distant lightning bolt returned to Yang Dian's side with even greater speed:

"Uh... I didn't notice just now. After flying far away, I remembered that you have a Dimension Butterfly that can open a spatial gate."

"Just open a gate and send me to Strange Star."

Yang Dian snapped his fingers, and a luminous gate appeared before them:

"If you encounter anything on Strange Star that you can't handle, remember to contact me in time."

"I'll commend you all after this Dimensional War is over."

Lei Ming waved his hand, said nothing, and stepped into the spatial portal.

After seeing Lei Ming off, Yang Dian looked around and then flew towards his home.

As soon as he landed, he saw Yangs Mother walking into the small courtyard, carrying a vegetable basket.

Seeing Yang Dian, who was squatting in the courtyard and petting Big Black Cat, Yangs Mother's eyes lit up:

"You're back?"

"It's good that you're back. Go quickly to that Wuhou Grotto-heaven and look for your sister."

"She's been out for several days, only calling back twice a day, and each time only sharing good news, never bad."

"I don't know how she's doing out there."

Yang Dian picked up the purring Big Black Cat:

"Mom, Lele's strength has been raised by me to the Late Stage of the Transcendent Realm. She's now a Martial Arts Grandmaster with Qi Blood Dragon Transformation, practically invincible in Wuhou Grotto-heaven."

"No need to worry about her."

It would have been fine if Yang Dian hadn't said anything, but his words made Yangs Mother even more worried:

"You said 'practically invincible,' not 'completely invincible.'"

"What if something unexpected happens in Wuhou Grotto-heaven?"

"It's better if you go and see for yourself."

Most parents are like this nowadays, especially with their daughters.

After not seeing them for a few days, they worry endlessly, fearing that their child isn't comfortable outside.

Unable to resist his mother, Yang Dian's thoughts stirred, and he flew into the air:

"Alright, I'll go take a look."

"Oh, and Mom, I haven't had your grilled chicken wings in a long time. Let's have grilled chicken wings for lunch."

"Alright, alright, I'll make them for you. If Lele is fine, bring her back for lunch too."

"If she still wants to train after eating, you can send her back again."

And so, Yang Dian, the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, was treated by Yangs Mother as a chauffeur for underage children, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards Chengdu.

He didn't use the Dimension Butterfly to open a gate, naturally, because he wasn't in a hurry.

He had left more than one protective ward on Yang Lele, and he could sense if any of them were activated.

Since the wards were intact, it meant Yang Lele was fine, so he naturally wasn't in a rush.

Leisurely flying to Wuhou District, looking at the South Heaven Gate inside the Walled City, Yang Dian suddenly thought of the spatial node beneath Fengdu City.

"Once Strange Star is completely devoured and becomes a Blessed Land of Huaxia, should I follow Yu Tian's example and gather these spatial nodes together?"

"Hmm, perhaps."

"Then, I could install a [South Heaven Gate] in every city. Walking through the South Heaven Gate would be walking into a transfer platform leading to the Blessed Land."

"Sigh, perhaps it doesn't need to be in cities."

"Perhaps the [South Heaven Gate] could be placed in the territory map. One would only need to touch the [South Heaven Gate] with a thought to choose the desired world, and be directly teleported into the Blessed Land through the territory map."

"But if it's easy to enter, how do you get out?"

"Teleport back to where you entered?"

After standing at the gate and thinking for a while, Yang Dian had a flash of inspiration and directly threw the problem to the Think Tank.

If he couldn't figure it out, he'd let smarter people think about it.

He was a crude Martial Artist; why bother thinking so much?

After throwing the problem to the Think Tank, Yang Dian, feeling light and unburdened, stepped directly into the [South Heaven Gate], passed through the spatial tunnel, and entered Wuhou Grotto-heaven once more.

The grand development of Wuhou Grotto-heaven was still ongoing.

Countless engineering robots dug out openings in the ground, and immeasurable raw ore, after being refined, was piled beside the war factory.

When war came, these refined ores would transform into missiles, bullets, various war machines, becoming the Grim Reaper that plundered enemy lives.

"So much ore, I wonder how many war machines can be built."

After sighing, Yang Dian scanned the land again, finally locking onto a target and flying towards a small island to the east.

Just as he flew above the small island, before he even had a chance to land, Yang Dian heard a delicate shout from the island:

"Hmph! You leopard, eat my Poke Ball!"

Looking down towards the source of the sound, wasn't it Yang Lele who had thrown a red and white ball the size of a tennis ball from her hand, which then "thumped" against a Mutant flying leopard, completely black with two wings on its back?

Watching the leopard's skull shatter after being hit on the head by the ball, instantly knocking it unconscious, Yang Dian couldn't help but twitch his mouth:

"Is that how you tame pets?"

Hearing the sudden voice, Yang Lele was stunned, then abruptly turned her head and looked towards where Yang Dian had landed:

"Hehe~ Big Brother!"

After a joyful shout, she charged forward like a wild boar, directly latching onto Yang Dian's back:

"Big Brother, you've been out for so long. When did you come back?"

Patting Yang Lele's calf to signal her to get down, Yang Dian continued:

"I just came back today."

As he spoke, he nodded to Pei Sisi, who was nearby, then looked at Su Qinglian:

"Thank you for indulging my sister's antics."

Yang Lele, who had just jumped off Yang Dian's back, elbowed his waist:

"Big Brother! How can you say Sister Qinglian is indulging my antics! I'm clearly here to train!"

Yang Dian glanced sideways at Yang Lele:

"All creatures above Transcendent High-rank in Wuhou Grotto-heaven have been captured by me and sent to the laboratory. The strongest existing creatures are only in the Middle Stage of Transcendent Realm."

"You're telling me you, a Martial Artist in the Late Stage of Transcendent Realm, are training in a world where the strongest creatures are only in the Middle Stage of Transcendent Realm?"

"Are you here to play, or to train?"

Yang Lele pouted:

"I can suppress my strength and fight those creatures; that can also serve as training."

"Besides, catching spirit beasts and such, isn't that part of the training path?"

"I'll catch a few more pets, and when I encounter a battle, I'll let the spirit beasts lead the charge. When I encounter danger, I'll let the spirit beasts cover the rear."

"Just tell me if my idea works or not."

Yang Dian gave Yang Lele a thumbs-up, then looked at the Mutant black leopard that had been smashed to death by the red and white Poke Ball:

"Is that how you catch spirit pets?"

As he spoke, he gestured towards the red and white Poke Ball that had fallen to the ground, faintly visible in the mud.

The Poke Ball flew up into the air and landed in Yang Dian's palm.

Feeling its weight, over a ton, Yang Dian looked at Yang Lele speechlessly:

"You're using this ball, weighing over a ton, to smash people's heads?"

"Are you afraid they won't die fast enough?"

Yang Lele lifted her head:

"Only the strong are worthy of being subdued by me."

After a haughty remark, Yang Lele narrowed her eyes and hugged Yang Dian's arm:

"By the way, Big Brother, why did you suddenly come back?"

Yang Dian tossed the red and white ball in his hand, and a thought suddenly stirred within him:

"I'm preparing to establish a subsidiary squad of the Expeditionary Force to investigate some things..."
