85: Chapter 85 The Executioner Squad Returns! Jiang Jin: Light and darkness are both just pasture to be harvested!

"Amidst the turmoil, everyone has their own schemes and plans～" Xiao Feng's eyes were deep and gloomy.

Dr. Zhang rested his hand on the steering wheel, turned his head, and asked, "Xiao Feng, did you see something?"

He felt that Xiao Feng was very strange.

Sometimes he seemed able to "predict the future," and other times he was completely insane. How could two such completely different states "perfectly coexist"?

"You can't even see that? They are obviously going to be stationed in Xiangnan to prepare for the coming catastrophe!" Xiao Feng looked back at Dr. Zhang with disdain.

"...I know that."

As a professional, Dr. Zhang felt he shouldn't argue with a mental patient, so he kept his tone as gentle as possible:

"I just want to ask, were they sent by the higher-ups? Or is it someone else?"

"Eh, did you forget to take your medicine before leaving the house? How would I know that?"

Just as Dr. Zhang was about to lose his cool and swear, Xiao Feng giggled and added:

"Come to think of it, I actually did deduce a little something. They were deployed without authorization～"

"Hiss——!!"

"You're not joking, right? Deployed without authorization?"

"Without Yanjing's approval, who has the power to do that?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was tacitly approved by Yanjing～"

Faced with Dr. Zhang's shock, Xiao Feng said this lightly.

The car fell silent. Dr. Zhang's eyes flickered, struggling to digest this information.

His wife, however, didn't care much about these things; she was holding their baby, half-asleep in the back seat.

Half an hour later,

The long convoy of hundreds of special vehicles passed through the highway toll station.

Seeing that the uniformed man directing traffic had also left by vehicle, Dr. Zhang did not hesitate. He drove the SUV, swiped his card at the toll station, and got on the highway leading directly to Xiangnan.

The journey was not very peaceful.

Dr. Zhang noticed that many other vehicles were also carrying entire families. The drivers looked excited, and their destination was clearly Xiangnan!

... ...

The next day, afternoon.

Qixia Valley · Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

Two medium transport helicopters equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks flew in rapidly from beyond the horizon.

Soon, the helicopters landed on the stone platform of Bajiao Peak.

At this time, Jiang Jin and Zhao Ruohan had already been waiting there for over ten minutes.

"We greet our Master!"

Zhou Guanying, Liu Jie, Lin Shaoyong, Wu Rui, and the other sixteen team members, wearing red and white colonized battle suits and covered in various weapons and equipment, finished forming up after stepping off the helicopters and shouted in unison to Jiang Jin.

Their resolute faces showed fervor, and their gazes toward Jiang Jin were filled with endless loyalty.

Through these few days of fighting abroad, they finally realized just how terrifying a level their strength had grown to!

Ordinary soldiers were worlds apart from them; without a great Opportunity, they would never even see a glimpse of their backs in their entire lives!

When destroying the foreign biological bases of the Samsara Cult, apart from the initial caution, in the Late Stage, they could even split into groups of four and easily wipe out a Samsara Cult stronghold!

In their eyes, conventional firearms and weapons were like a baby playing with a sword, posing no threat at all.

Because of this, the team members were even more admiring and loyal to Jiang Jin. They knew clearly that all of this was bestowed by their Master!

"Not bad, each of you has grown a lot." Jiang Jin, dressed in a white casual outfit, scanned the sixteen members one by one, his expression showing great satisfaction.

Finally, he looked at Liu Jie and smiled:

"The Cultivation speed of Innate abilities is indeed fast. It's only been a few days, and you've already promoted another rank."

"Haha, that's only because Master bestowed us with colonized battle suits. Otherwise, let alone Cultivation, we wouldn't even have a way to replenish the consumed Transcendent energy."

A smile hung on the corner of Liu Jie's mouth.

When responding to Jiang Jin, he also smugly glanced at Lin Shaoyong and Zhou Guanying beside him, as if saying, "The two of you together aren't my match now."

"He's getting cocky. Now that Brother Liu has a bit of strength, he's forgotten what he looked like when he was begging me to teach him how to Cultivate."

"I also think this kid Liu Jie is getting cocky. It seems we need to increase the intensity of his training later, otherwise, this kid will get so full of himself that he won't know who's who."

Lin Shaoyong and Zhou Guanying curled their lips, speaking sourly one after the other.

Jiang Jin ignored their bickering.

With a thought, Liu Jie's four-dimensional panel appeared before him, visible to everyone:

[Name: Liu Jie]

[Ability: Fire Domain Apostle {Fire Fist (Prototype Stage), Fire Wall (Prototype Stage), Fire Domain (Not Awakened)}]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: 22]

[Agility: 23]

[Physique: 21]

[Spirit: 21]

[Comprehensive Life Rating: E-]

"This kid Liu Jie's strength is even 2 points higher than mine... If you count the ability enhancement, Captain Zhou, maybe neither of us can beat this kid; we'd need everyone to go together."

"[E- rank] Transcendent strength, this is truly walking at the forefront of real-world Transcendent." Hearing Lin Shaoyong's words, Zhou Guanying, while unloading his weapons and equipment, also glanced at Liu Jie's panel, his face showing a trace of amazement.

Seeing the clear and intuitive data, the other team members' eyes narrowed slightly. In just a few days, the gap between them and Team Leader Liu had widened by a significant margin.

If this continued for a long time, they might not even be able to see the back of Team Leader Liu's heels!

The talent enhancement brought by Innate abilities was truly terrifying!

After they went down, they would have to focus on comprehending the method for Awakening Acquired abilities, otherwise, they would sooner or later become mere "background characters"!

The other team members, who had originally felt a bit proud, suddenly felt their pressure increase manifold. The gap between them and a true Cultivation Genius was actually this large!

Jiang Jin saw all the changes in everyone's expressions.

He had displayed Liu Jie's four-dimensional data specifically to let everyone know that "there is no end to Cultivation; there is always someone better, and there is always a higher sky."

With a wave of his hand, the panel in front of him dissipated, and Jiang Jin said cheerfully:

"Cultivation cannot be rushed. You have been executing combat missions for several days in a row, so I'll give you a day off. Go down and have a good rest."

"Yes!"

Everyone stood straight, heels clicking together with a 'snap'.

As the thirteen members carried their weapons and equipment back to their respective rooms to rest, Zhao Ruohan, Zhou Guanying, Liu Jie, and Lin Shaoyong followed behind Jiang Jin to the large balcony on the top floor of the homestay.

After a thorough mission report from beginning to end, Jiang Jin had a detailed understanding of the foreign Samsara Cult bases.

"Genetic research... human body modification... mutual Fusion of special base pairs... excavating ancient viruses under the Antarctic glaciers..." After the report was finished and they left, Jiang Jin sat on a rocking chair, his brows slightly furrowed.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the Samsara Cult's research scope was truly extensive. As long as it was in the biological field, they had dabbled in it and achieved significant research results.

Things like human body modification were the Samsara Cult's specialty. Relying on this in-depth research result, it was directly colluding with most of the world's top elites.

The remaining small half of the top elites weren't necessarily principled; they were just still young and hadn't reached the day they "needed" it.

Everyone grows old, and there comes a day when they need to replace body parts, and the top elites feared death and loss the most. Therefore, the Samsara Cult's technology was what they craved the most.

As a condition of exchange, the Samsara Cult's biological bases were born and nestled within those countries.

"Only the ancient viruses in the depths of the Antarctic glaciers are worth something; the rest are not worth mentioning." After pondering for a while, Jiang Jin shook his head.

Right now, the Invisible Crystal Curtain had already appeared, and the spark of the Transcendent had been sown; the Samsara Cult issue was no longer a big deal... but rather the best role to serve as a villain on Blue Star in the future!

"Whether it is light or darkness, they are nothing but 'pasture' for me to harvest Soul energy."

"Only by jumping higher can the global Transcendent path go further and become more dazzling!"

As he thought about this, the corners of Jiang Jin's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He felt that his Realm of thought seemed to have been "sublimated" once again?
