We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

"Hmm." Shen Bailian glanced at the other party, suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded calmly, and then moved to the seat next to the short-haired middle-aged man without further politeness.

Everyone present followed the boy's every step.

Several people even wanted to say something, but after glancing at the short-haired middle-aged man, they quickly dismissed their thoughts.

Shen Bailian also took a deep look at the face of the short-haired middle-aged man. He looked very young. Then, information about the man appeared in her mind.

The short-haired middle-aged man was named Wangchuan. He was once known as "Burning Flame" in the Sea-Opening Realm. Now, he is a mid-stage martial artist in the Moon-Embracing Realm and one of the pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It has the potential to reach the Divine Palace Realm.

Simultaneously.

Wangchuan was also a top-tier martial arts prodigy who had never been defeated in the Opening Sea Realm. Strictly speaking, he could also be considered Duan Wuyai's senior brother.

Furthermore, he also held considerable prestige in the Eastern Territory, and unlike Duan Wuyai, he did not break through to the Embracing Moon Realm during cultivation.

Instead, it was a battle of epic proportions where it was either victory or certain death!
It can be said that they risked their lives to seek a breakthrough opportunity.

It was precisely because of this determination, coupled with good luck, that he broke through to the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm in just fifteen years after breaking through to the Embracing Moon Realm.

And now?
More than twenty years have passed since Wangchuan broke through to the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm. According to outside speculation, Wangchuan may only be one step away from the late-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm.

However, without his own explanation, Wangchuan's exact cultivation level cannot be measured even by modern instruments unless a powerful expert at the Divine Palace Realm personally investigates it.

Because the energy level of the source force is so high, it will be subject to great interference when measured with relevant instruments.

Especially for martial artists at or above the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, the measuring instruments would most likely be destroyed.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin our first regular meeting." Wangchuan glanced around, his gaze pausing briefly when it landed on Shen Bailian before returning to its original position.
"I believe that everyone here has already received the transfer notice. In order to make the work in progress better, please give a brief self-introduction first."

Of course, to avoid wasting time, let's limit it to one minute.

Less than a moment after he finished speaking.

“Okay, then I’ll go first.” A tall woman with fair, snow-white skin, who was sitting directly opposite Shen Bailian, stood up first.
"Greetings, fellow future colleagues and seniors. My name is Wang Yuwei, from the Wang Clan of Ruyang. My martial arts realm is at the mid-stage of the Sea Opening Realm. I am a full-time researcher, responsible for serving as the researcher for this exploration of another world. If..."

The moment Shen Bailian heard the name of the Wang family of Ruyang, he immediately became interested and looked at the woman with curiosity.

The Wang family of Ruyang?

Isn't this the clan that Wang Yuyan belongs to?

Furthermore, Wang Yuwei was among those people who seemed hesitant to speak when he first entered the preparation hall.

Moreover, he is a full-time researcher.

Did they receive advance notice and specifically apply to join this team just to get close to him and facilitate research?

This thought immediately sent chills down Shen Bailian's spine. He didn't want to be a guinea pig, so he quickly shifted his gaze away from Wang Yuwei.

He secretly vowed to stay away from this woman unless absolutely necessary.

Full-time researchers are often quite obsessive.

Once they set their sights on you, life won't be easy.

"???"

Looking at the changes in Shen Bailian's expression, Wang Yuwei was filled with questions. She was puzzled as to why the young man had changed like this.

But he still managed to multitask and, following his prepared speech, delivered a full minute of talk.

"My name is Jiang Yufan, my martial arts realm is at the late stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, and I will serve as the deputy commander of this first batch of explorations into another world..."

"...Wei Xin...early stage of the Embracing Moon Realm..."

"..."

Time passed slowly, and soon more than half an hour had gone by before it was Shen Bailian's turn.

What puzzled Shen Bailian slightly was that everyone here, including Wangchuan, gave a one-minute self-introduction.

Several people even exceeded the time limit.

This is completely illogical. Logically speaking, since there are self-introductions, it means that most of the people here are not very familiar with each other.

So they just introduced themselves so easily?

As for the fact that Wangchuan, a martial artist in the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, could replace Jiang Yufan, who was in the late stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, Shen Bailian could still understand it.

After all, they are considered top-tier martial arts prodigies, and in addition to their extraordinary cultivation speed, they also have extremely high requirements for combat power.

Being invincible within the same physical fitness level is just the threshold; fighting across physical fitness levels is the standard; and fighting across minor realms, especially the minor realm of the Embracing Moon Realm, is the ultimate.

Soon it was the last person's turn.

"Greetings, seniors." Shen Bailian stood up, a slight smile on his face, and bowed respectfully. Then, following the template of one of them, he introduced himself:

"My name is Shen Bailian, and my martial arts realm is the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm... I hope that in the coming period, I can spend a friendly journey with all of you seniors."

After briefly introducing himself, Shen Bailian sat down directly.

There wasn't much detailed information provided.

Because he had too many secrets and unique characteristics, and although these people were all sent by Xiong Kuohai to protect him.

But Shen Bailian had already made up his mind that once he entered the Star Ring World, he would use his skill points to upgrade the skill [Close at Hand, Far Away], fix a new anchor point, and then begin to act alone.

"Alright." Wangchuan nodded slightly, glanced at Shen Bailian strangely, then looked away, stood up, rested his hands on the table, and said loudly:
"I won't mention my name, as you should have already received the relevant information. To save time, I'll now introduce the details of the mission destination and the mission objectives."

"Linglong, activate the Ur galaxy model."

"Yes, sir!" As soon as Wangchuan finished speaking, a clear and mysterious female voice suddenly rang out in the preparation hall.

As soon as the command was given, the bright lights in the hall went out instantly, as if swallowed by some unknown force, and the entire space was plunged into a deep, pitch-black darkness.

Almost simultaneously, a beam of blue light suddenly shone, like stars blooming in the void, and a holographic projection emitting a faint blue light appeared in the entire preparation hall.

A vivid model of a galaxy was displayed, with twinkling stars and rotating galaxies, making everyone feel as if they were immersed in a blue ocean. This information model encompassed an area of ​​0.06 light-years.

At the very center of this information model is a giant star, surrounded by dozens of green planets, presumably the planets inhabited by life.

That is, a planet that is capable of supporting life and is relatively habitable.

"Based on the information provided by the alien prisoner Kent, and the data transmitted back by the detection robots, the gateway above Hulao Pass is the safest and most reliable gateway to the Star Ring World."

The diameter of the observable universe is currently 936 billion light-years.

"And this is also the place we're about to go." Wangchuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"In the Star Ring World, the closest star system to Portal 47 is called the Ur Star System. It is a relatively remote star system in the Star Ring World, and the strongest beings there are at the ninth level of planetary rank."

Although it is a remote star system, it contains two important minerals, so three forces are currently stationed here.

One is the Sirius Clan, whose abilities are... their main base is named Planet One; another is the Skyhorn Clan, whose leader is Kent, but they are currently leaderless; and the last one is the Rorowu Clan, who are extremely warlike..."

“I have a question,” Wei Xin suddenly interrupted Wangchuan, asking in a deep voice:
"Based on the current intelligence, martial artists at the late or peak stage of the Sea Opening Realm can possess power comparable to that of a star-level being. Why not just kill those alien races directly, occupy the Ur Star System, and then..."

Although Jiang Yufan didn't continue speaking, the others understood what he meant, and most of them nodded in agreement.

This method, though crude, is very useful and is also the most efficient.

Even Shen Bailian shared this view.

Given the current strength of the Great Xia, even without deploying any Divine Palace Realm experts, it could easily crush the Ur Star System, whose strongest member is only at the ninth level of the Planetary Realm.

With the added support of various high-tech weapons, it is entirely possible to carry out a decapitation strike without triggering an alarm.

There's absolutely no need to dawdle like that.

"This idea has been proposed before, but it was rejected." Wangchuan seemed to have anticipated this, calmly shaking his head. His slender fingers rested lightly on the smooth, mirror-like table as he continued:
"According to the information provided by Kent, and the existing intelligence, there is a special power system in the Star Ring World, which is somewhat similar to the gods in our world. However, its strength is very weak compared to the gods. The translated name is the Chosen Ones."

"Those chosen by Heaven possess a variety of innate abilities in different forms, including but not limited to general rules such as time, space, soul, and consciousness..."

"!!!"

When Shen Bailian heard the words "gods" and "weaker," he was immediately startled, and a slight ripple of emotion and longing for that star ring world instantly stirred in his heart.

For him, this was nothing short of a treasure trove of divine substances.

Shen Bailian was initially indifferent, but now...?

He's determined to go to this Star Ring World.

If you try to stop Jesus, you'll have to get stabbed first.

But at this point, everyone's doubts remain unresolved: what does the inability to kill have to do with the Chosen One?
"Among the chosen ones, there is a profession called Soul Master," Wangchuan continued. "One of the abilities of a Soul Master is to create Soul Lamps, which are divided into a main lamp and a sub-lamp, with two lamps equaling one life."

Having said that, everyone understood. It's somewhat similar to the soul lamp in the world of fantasy novels; once the main body dies, the soul lamp will go out.

However, this mysterious and profound power is the weakness of the Great Xia Dynasty.

'So, not killing Kent back then was really a twist of fate.' Shen Bailian secretly rejoiced, thankful that his momentary recklessness hadn't led the entire Earth Star to utter ruin.

After all, the Star Ring World is a complete universe, while Earth Star is merely an insignificant planet in the current universe.

To think that a single planet could take on an entire universe head-on is utterly delusional.

Furthermore, on Earth Star, there are still ferocious beasts, divine favored beings, and traitors hidden among the citizens of Great Xia. Beset by internal and external troubles, it is not advisable to start another war against foreign powers.

"Furthermore, there is an even more important message to share." Wang Yuwei also stood up, and without wasting any time, she said without hesitation:

"Although the Chosen Ones are relatively rare in the entire Ring World, they act as cleaners within the Ring World, while we are like a virus to the Ring World."

"Therefore, in the early stages of the operation, one must be extremely cautious and avoid using the Force if possible."

"What kind of power will be needed?" someone asked, frowning.

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

The reason is simple: whether it is a martial artist in the Opening Sea Realm or a martial artist in the Embracing Moon Realm, the greatest reliance is the almost inexhaustible primal force within their body.

At the same time, the Force also plays a crucial role in amplifying a martial artist's combat power and range.

"First, regarding technological weapons, the Star Ring World is not Earth, so you don't need to worry about being blocked."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Shen Bailian, was stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads slightly.

Yes.

The Star Ring World is not Earth, and without the interference of divine favor, there would be no strange bronze domain; and even if it existed, it would be difficult to affect such a large area.

After all, the starry sky is infinite, and the area of ​​a planet can never compare to the area of ​​a universe.

Not to mention altitude?

"Second, Star Power; In the Star Ring World, the most extensive power system is the Starry Sky Professionals, whose mainstream professional ranks are also divided according to Star Power. I believe everyone is familiar with Star Power."

Everyone nodded.

Those who can come here are all elites, and elites were at least martial arts prodigies in the martial arts university. Many martial artists who have reached the Sea Opening Realm are just senior brothers and sisters who are only a few years older than Shen Bailian.

I am certainly not unfamiliar with stellar energy; in fact, I am quite familiar with it.

Furthermore, they also possess stellar energy within their bodies, though it is very scarce compared to those of stellar professionals.

"Thirdly, there's physical strength. Don't doubt our own power system." As she said this, a faint sense of superiority appeared on Wang Yuwei's face: "The power of martial artists is beyond doubt."

"Even the physical body of a martial artist at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm is strong enough to crush many Starry Sky Professionals at the early stage of the Stellar Rank in the Star Ring World, and you are all outstanding individuals."

"I believe everyone now has a general understanding of the Ring World. Next, Lieutenant Jiang will explain the objectives of this mission..."

Jiang Yufan didn't pause for a moment, speaking crisply and decisively. Looking in Shen Bailian's direction, he said calmly, "Mission objective one: ensure Shen Bailian's survival... Objective two..." (End of Chapter)
