606: Yang Dian: I practice martial arts normally, Lao Bai is the one who cheats

Yang Dian first froze, then realized after scanning the abrupt message.

“Lao Bai’s star destroyer, is it finally built?”

“Calculating the time, it seems to be more than two months slower than expected?”

“He also makes mistakes sometimes?”

Lei Ming, who was nearby, didn’t quite catch what Yang Dian was muttering:

“What are you mumbling about?”

“Is there something that’s reached you?”

Yang Dian closed the projection on his wristband and said with a slight smile:

“Didn’t I just say we were preparing a big weapon for our Expeditionary Force?”

As Yang Dian spoke, he patted his wristband:

“The big weapon is here.”

Seeing Yang Dian mention the big weapon again, Lei Ming grew even more curious:

“What kind of big weapon is it that you keep talking about?”

Turning his head to look at Lei Ming, who had adopted a ‘you can’t leave until you tell me’ stance, Yang Dian stopped playing coy and said directly:

“Dr. Bai has created a star destroyer, and I plan to make it our Expeditionary Force’s new base.”

Lei Ming froze, then his eyes widened:

“A star destroyer?”

“The kind of star destroyer from sci-fi novels that can shatter a planet with one shot?”

Seeing Yang Dian nod, his eyes instantly widened even further:

“No, are you guys really cheating?”

“How long has the Qi Revival been going on? Dr. Bai has already advanced Earth’s technology to star destroyer level?”

“You too.”

“You’re even more outrageous than Dr. Bai.”

“Dr. Bai was able to achieve star destroyer-level technology because he accumulated it for over a decade, with the assistance of artificial intelligence, and obtained the wisdom of thousands of civilizations from the Wenlan Pavilion and Yu Tian’s secret vaults.”

“But what about you?”

“You practice martial arts!”

“Three years of martial arts, and you can blow up a planet.”

“No.”

“We’re all Earthlings, all Huaxia people, is the difference really that big?”

Yang Dian was unconvinced by these words.

“Me, cheating? How could I possibly be cheating! My cultivation to this point is entirely due to my own efforts!”

“Dr. Bai is the one who’s cheating!”

“Uncle Lei, think about it.”

“I was able to Breakthrough to the Martial Dao Seventh Realm thanks to the heaven and earth treasures accumulated by Huaxia over more than a decade, right?”

As Lei Ming nodded, Yang Dian continued:

“I was able to Breakthrough to the unprecedented Martial Dao Eighth Realm because I shattered the core of the Lizardmen Alien Planet and seized its core energy, right?”

Lei Ming nodded again.

“Wasn’t my further Breakthrough beyond the Martial Dao Eighth Realm because I took the Origin energy of the Strange Star and Canglan Star’s cores?”

This time, without waiting for Lei Ming to nod again, Yang Dian continued:

“So every step of my growth has a clear path.”

“My current strength is due to consuming resources unimaginable to others, as well as a tiny bit more talent than ordinary people.”

“Dr. Bai is truly outrageous.”

“What was the level of technology before the Qi Revival? What is the level of technology after the Qi Revival?”

“Artificial intelligence, war robots, aerospace fighters, Universe spaceships...”

“Let’s not even talk about those.”

“How long has it been since the Qi Revival and his talent Awakening?”

“He actually managed to create a big weapon like a star destroyer.”

“I suspect he obtained a Legacy left by other technological civilizations, but I have no proof.”

Lei Ming blinked, nodding thoughtfully:

“What you said seems to make sense.”

“Judging by this, Dr. Bai does seem a tiny bit more outrageous than you.”

As he thought about it, he suddenly reacted:

“Sense my foot!”

“A normal person, let alone digesting the energy of three planetary cores in two years.”

“They can’t even digest the heaven and earth treasures we gave you!”

“Do you know how long it takes me, with my current strength, to digest one heaven and earth treasure?”

“Seven days! A full seven days!”

“For seven days, I can’t do anything else, just purely digest the heaven and earth treasure.”

“If I get distracted, it will take even longer!”

“But you, in three years, silently digested the energy of three planetary cores.”

“Is that a digestion speed a human can have?”

Yang Dian held up his finger, making a 'C' gesture:

“I said, my talent is a tiny bit better than ordinary people’s.”

Lei Ming didn’t want to talk to Yang Dian:

“Forget it, I’m just an ordinary person, I don’t want to play with you cheaters.”

“I’m going to arrange the medal ceremony. Remember to bring our Expeditionary Force’s star destroyer back.”

Watching Lei Ming suddenly vanish from his sight after his words fell, Yang Dian couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“He calls us cheaters, but isn’t he one himself?”

“A normal person, even an ability user with lightning-attribute abilities, can fly at this speed? And without hitting any plants or flowers.”

After complaining, Yang Dian scratched his scalp again, pulling Dudu, who was mimicking hair, off his head.

Shaking the little guy, who was still in a dormant evolutionary state but instinctively wrapped its tentacles around his wrist, Yang Dian’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

“I wonder what kind of abilities the little guy will gain after completing its evolution.”

“I don’t ask for anything else, just that the starlight energy can be used by others.”

“Otherwise, others won’t even be able to smell my exhaust, let alone see my back.”

Yang Dian had also tried to give Dudu’s starlight energy to other plants, animals, and mutated creatures.

But without exception, all the creatures that absorbed the starlight energy were assimilated by the starlight, turning into a cluster of radioactive starlight.

Since then, he had given up the idea of letting others use starlight energy to enhance their Martial Dao talent.

He just didn’t know if there would be any changes after this evolution.

“Forget it, what kind of abilities the little guy will gain after evolution, I’ll know when it wakes up.”

“For now, I should go check out Lao Bai’s star destroyer...”
