73: Chapter 73 The Executioner Squad's First Mission! A Method for Harvesting Real-World Soul Energy!

"A colonized battle suit? It looks cool, and the material feels very comfortable, just like skin."

Zhou Guanying picked up a set to examine it, his eyes filled with fervor and excitement.

At the same time, he turned his gaze to Jiang Jin and asked, "Master, this tight-fitting battle suit doesn't look very thick; can it really stop rifle bullets?"

"Of course it can."

Jiang Jin nodded with a faint smile, "How about this: go down and put them on now. Be fully armed in ten minutes, and we'll meet outside the guesthouse."

"Yes!"

The sixteen team members stomped their feet in unison in response.

Not long after, the team members gathered in neat rows on the stone platform in front of the guesthouse.

Looking closely, they had all changed into the red and white colonized battle suits and were equipped with various state-of-the-art firearms. Standing tall with sharp, murderous gazes, they looked like futuristic genetic warriors brought into reality.

"I expended a great deal of effort to create these colonized battle suits. Their material is a perfect Fusion of future nanotechnology and the Transcendent. When bullets from conventional weapons hit them, the suit absorbs the kinetic energy, rendering the bullets harmless."

As he spoke, Jiang Jin glanced at Zhou Guanying, who was at the front of the formation, and said, "Give me your new rifle."

"Yes!"

Zhou Guanying stepped forward and handed over the rifle in his hand.

Click.

Jiang Jin took it, skillfully chambered a round into the silenced rifle, and under the focused gaze of the team members, aimed the muzzle at Zhou Guanying's thigh and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh—

The rifle bullet tore through the air, instantly striking Zhou Guanying's thigh.

The scene of blood splattering everywhere did not occur.

The colonized battle suit seemed to be performing magic; the moment the rifle bullet touched it, its kinetic energy was absorbed, leaving only a slight indentation.

With a clatter, the bullet fell to the ground.

"What a terrifying colonized battle suit. With this kind of fearsome defensive power, even an ordinary soldier who hasn't become a Transcendent would possess astonishing combat ability!"

Having witnessed it withstand a rifle bullet without damage, Lin Shaoyong looked down at his own red and white colonized battle suit, feeling more satisfied the longer he looked.

"With its defensive power, combined with our strength as [F++ Grade Transcendent], clearing out a few biological bases of the Samsara Cult should be a piece of cake."

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Guanying's eyes, as if he were looking forward to the upcoming slaughter and battle.

Liu Jie clenched his fists, and wisps of crimson Transcendent energy began to surge. "Haha, it's been a long time since I've participated in a mission; I feel my own flames burning intensely!"

Lin Shaoyong curled his lip slightly, "Liu Jie, you're putting on an act again."

"Lin Shaoyong, when you were learning to fly the helicopter, you called me Captain Liu, but now you're showing your true colors, aren't you!"

"Hehe, when we get back, you can teach me to fly the helicopter again, and I'll call you Captain Liu to my heart's content!"

"By the way, you're a [Flame Apostle] now, and your overall strength is much greater than Captain Zhou's. In the future, do you want to snatch the position of Captain for yourself?"

Liu Jie looked at Zhou Guanying with a playful grin, "Haha, if Captain Zhou agrees, I naturally have no problem with that."

"Oh, so that's it, Liu Jie, you were waiting for me here, huh?"

"Trying to pressure me, are you? Wait until the day I awaken my Acquired ability, then we'll discuss who the Captain belongs to."

Zhou Guanying turned back and scolded with a laugh.

"No, no, Captain Zhou, I'm just joking. How could I dare to covet your position?"

"Heh, you're saying one thing and meaning another; you clearly want to usurp Captain Zhou's position as Captain."

Lin Shaoyong interjected teasingly.

"..."

Before departing, the team members chatted happily. There was none of the tension one might expect before executing a difficult mission; everyone was very relaxed.

Vroom vroom vroom—

Two medium transport helicopters equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks descended from overhead and landed on the spacious stone platform.

Soon, the sixteen team members gathered their equipment and, after bidding farewell to Jiang Jin, the helicopters flew away.

"What is it? You seem to really like the red and white colonized battle suit as well?"

Zhao Ruohan's face turned slightly red, as if her secret had been discovered. She stole a glance at Jiang Jin and said in a low voice, "Yes, Master... Could you give me one too?"

"No problem, it's just a colonized battle suit."

Jiang Jin smiled nonchalantly, "What color would you like?"

"Pink and white, try to make the color combination look cute."

"Okay."

Jiang Jin nodded.

With a thought, the [Fantasy Creation] of the Authority of Creation on the Origin Continent began to surge.

In less than two minutes.

A brand new pink and white colonized battle suit appeared.

"Go try it on and see if it fits."

"By the way, Young Master Wang will be delivering the second batch of rare wild animal resources today; remember to send someone to coordinate with the delivery personnel."

"Ruohan understands."

From the stone platform, he went to the back of the guesthouse, where the original open space was now planted full of niujin spirit-infused grass.

Their stems and leaves were emerald green, like rare jade. As they swayed in the breeze, they constantly absorbed the surrounding solar energy, wind energy, thermal energy, and dark energy from unknown dimensions.

The pores on their leaves breathed, and the oxygen and Spirit Energy Factor they nurtured and condensed were expelled from their bodies.

Filling the surrounding air, it gradually changed the environmental rules of Bajiao Peak.

"Let's start the experiment with this plot of land."

Jiang Jin stood outside the grass, sensing the misty environment, and whispered.

Immediately, his thoughts fluctuated, and more than two hundred drops of World Origin appeared before him.

"Crystal Curtain—Evolve!"

As his will descended, these two hundred-plus drops of World Origin intertwined and flickered.

Under Jiang Jin's gaze, they quickly flew into mid-air.

They gradually evolved into an Invisible Crystal Curtain—one that could not be seen, sensed, or touched.

From points to a surface, the Crystal Curtain slid down from mid-air, completely enveloping the plot of land, spanning about four mu, which was planted with niujin spirit-infused grass.

"It really works—!"

Sensing the Invisible Crystal Curtain enveloping the backyard of the guesthouse, Jiang Jin's face showed joy. He placed his palm against the barrier of the Invisible Crystal Curtain and instantly sensed its operation.

Just as he had envisioned, it could completely absorb the Soul energy from all things in reality!

Of course, the Invisible Crystal Curtain had many uses.

Absorbing Soul energy was only its Early Stage function.

When it grew to a certain level, the enclosed space could even derive 'Authority power'!

At that time, as long as it was under the coverage of the Crystal Curtain, Jiang Jin would possess absolute... Authority and control!!

He would be like the Heavenly Dao, able to rewrite the underlying operational logic of the 'Crystal Curtain space' at will!

For example, the normal gravitational acceleration on Blue Star is 9.8; as long as there is enough Transcendent energy within the Crystal Curtain, he can rewrite the value at will!

However, as Blue Star is his private reserve, it is destined to have no connection with the technological system in the future.

The purpose of him setting up the Crystal Curtain, besides harvesting Soul energy, was also to bring the 'Transcendent element system' of the Origin Continent into reality, making this place a true Transcendent planet!

"Blue Star is still a bit small... In the future, the entire solar system could perhaps also serve as a prosperous land for the revival of the Transcendent!"

"The Universe is vast; if such a huge and boundless expanse of space-time were all used to harvest Soul energy, to what terrifying level would we grow??"

Thinking of this, a flush of fervor rose on Jiang Jin's face, his heart pounding.
