The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 135 Meng Huaifeng vs. Yan
In the battle on the scientific front, the first step is often information warfare.

Yan activated his Eye of Insight, intending to forcibly investigate Meng Huaifeng's strength, abilities, and weaknesses.

Although Meng Huaifeng stopped her last time, Yan did not believe that she could not break through Meng Huaifeng's information blockade. She only stopped because she did not want to make enemies with him.

There isn't much dark dimension information about Meng Huaifeng in this universe, but the human body itself corresponds to a dark dimension, containing most of a person's dark information.

However, compared to reading unclaimed dark information in the surrounding environment, reading claimed information is more troublesome and can be detected or even discovered.

From the perspective of other universes, the dark dimension corresponding to the human body should perhaps be called the soul or spiritual entity.

After dealing with Huanlong, Meng Huaifeng encrypted his information and set up a firewall. Even if Meng Huaifeng did nothing, it would be very difficult for Yan to read Meng Huaifeng's information.

Meng Huaifeng sensed Yan's information intrusion into him, and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were describing his former self as a silver wolf.

A newbie wielding a powerful software template and showing off is at best a little more skilled at controlling it, since Yan has been using this software for thousands of years.

But there's nothing outside of the software itself.

Then let's use the same methods Silver Wolf used against me.

Now, I am the Silver Wolf!

Meng Huaifeng's lips curled into an uncontrollable smile.

Sending false information directly would be too convincing. Instead, we established a two-layer firewall, placing the false information between the two layers. The outermost firewall gradually crumbled, creating the illusion that it had been breached.

After taking necessary precautions, Meng Huaifeng also investigated Qi Yan's information.

As soon as the intrusion occurred, Meng Huaifeng frowned. The firewall protecting Yan's information was too strong, unlike anything Yan herself could create.

Unlike the cultivation side, where great power resides within oneself, the technology side, once a technological breakthrough is achieved, can benefit everyone, as long as it is not limited by resources.

So, this is the information protection network of the entire angel civilization?

Although it is certainly not as strong as the firewall of the most important part of the Angel Civilization, being able to break through this firewall and probe Yan's information means that he can probe most of the information of the Angel Civilization.

Meng Huaifeng was in high spirits and focused intently on breaking through the firewall on Qi Yan's body.

Unfortunately, Meng Huaifeng's learning time was still short. Although he had gained three or four tenths of the Silver Wolf's power in a short period of time thanks to his talent and the characteristics of his martial soul, progress in this skill becomes slower and slower as time goes on.

Although Meng Huaifeng was unable to break through the Angel Network, he still benefited greatly from this network offensive.

Even a successful intrusion was impossible, let alone a silent one. Yan had already received a warning that the secret information had been compromised.

The true owners of the Angel Network also noticed the situation here. After all, how long has it been since anyone dared to hack into the Angel Network?

Yan was full of confidence in Angel Network's defenses, and directly ignored Meng Huaifeng's intrusion. He increased his computing power to invade Meng Huaifeng's dark information and was about to break through!
"What are those two doing? Just stab them with your gun!" Xing said impatiently, looking at the two staring at each other.

"Ah Xing, you brute, what do you know? According to the descriptions in the Xian Zhou novel, they must be having a mental battle! That's a skill only top-tier masters possess," March Seven said disdainfully.

"Really? I'm even more powerful than Huaifeng, so why haven't I experienced this?" Xing looked at Walter with some disbelief.

Walter pondered for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, Little March is right."

March 7th was elated to receive Walter's approval, while Xing fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly in Yan's eyes, and the blazing sword, burning with fierce flames, swooped down towards Meng Huaifeng.

"Judgment in Flames!"

A massive blade of fire swept out, with Yan himself following closely behind.

Meng Huaifeng abandoned his attempt to infiltrate the Angel Network. The Phantom Gun appeared in his hand, allowing him to create an opening with the Flame Blade and block Yan's Blazing Sword.

The raging flames swept past Meng Huaifeng's sides. As Meng Huaifeng went further on his path of exploration, the protection of exploration became stronger and stronger. The scorching temperature only made Meng Huaifeng feel slightly warm.

Yan Zhenyi returned to the air. The attack just now was merely a greeting, or rather, a declaration that the information war was over and it was time to begin the next phase.

"Tsk tsk, you were once a martial arts prodigy, but inexplicably lost all your power, and then your fiancée came to break off the engagement. After that, you accidentally obtained the Flame Dividing Wave Spear Technique, went through countless hardships, and finally regained your dignity. Then you joined the Star Train that was passing by your planet. Pretty inspiring, huh? But it's also quite tragic. Do you want your sister to comfort you?" Yan teased.

“That’s all in the past. I don’t need anyone’s comfort,” Meng Huaifeng said with a straight face.

"Who is she talking about?" March 7th asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, the plot feels a bit familiar." Xing scratched his head. Have I experienced this virtual reality before?

"So, kid, are you ready to get a beating? Your weaknesses are completely exposed in my eyes," Yan said arrogantly.

Based on the information detected by the Eye of Insight, by calculating and deducing information such as his gun techniques, physical habits, and human weaknesses, we can find the most difficult point to defend against in each of his moves, that is, his weakness. As long as we attack in a targeted manner, we can say that he is powerless to fight back.

If the computing power is sufficient, it's even possible to predict... or more accurately, to extrapolate the future a few seconds from now!

"Don't get too cocky, or you'll lose face later," Meng Huaifeng kindly reminded him.

"Looks like you won't admit it until you're faced with a death sentence. Remember to call out 'good sister' when you can't take it anymore, and sister will stop," Yan said.

"bring it on."

Meng Huaifeng brandished his spear and stomped his foot as he charged toward Yan in mid-air.

"The Flame Dividing Wave Spear's three forms advance without hesitation."

Yan had already calculated the weakness of Meng Huaifeng's move, and a bright red dot appeared in Yan's eyes.

Besides the several powerful moves unleashed with the aid of technology, Yan's close combat skills are also exceptionally high, all accumulated from over seven thousand years of life-and-death battles.

Yan slightly turned her body and casually thrust her sword towards the red dot.

However, if the techniques and habits are fake, then the weaknesses are naturally fake as well, in addition to the inherent weaknesses of the human body.

Meng Huaifeng quickly changed his move, and with a flick of his spear, struck Yan's slender waist without any hesitation.

"boom!"

Yan crashed into the lunar surface like a meteorite, leaving a crater tens of meters wide.

"Wait, what's going on?"

Yan quickly flew out of the pit, looking bewildered. His Eye of Insight, combined with his Weakness Detection Attack, had always been invincible, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Again!" Yan was somewhat skeptical, mainly because he was losing face and wanted to prove himself.

"The Flame Dividing Wave Spear's Six Forms, Calming the Storm."

Countless spear flashes appeared before Yan. This time, Yan became completely serious, her figure changing rapidly, leaving behind afterimages, making it difficult for Meng Huaifeng to predict her movements. Only when she thought it was the most opportune moment did she swiftly strike at Meng Huaifeng's weakness.

The unexpected move that the gene engine hadn't anticipated was once again unleashed by Meng Huaifeng, as if he had been prepared all along, the tip of his spear pointing at Yan's armor.

The weapon, forged from a blade, was indeed powerful, easily piercing Yan's armor. Meng Huaifeng quickly withdrew his force, sending Yan flying backward, a trickle of blood flowing out, but it was only a minor injury. "Such a sharp weapon, comparable to a Dark Silver weapon," Yan thought to himself, secretly relieved that it wasn't a God-Slaying Weapon specifically designed to counter genetic damage; this kind of injury would heal quickly.

Having suffered two consecutive defeats, Yan had no choice but to use his sharp mind, which was full of martial arts skills, to figure out what had happened.

Meng Huaifeng was also proficient in computer technology and had impressive skills, but under the protection of Angel Network, he was unable to detect his own information.

Did he guess the method I was going to use? If he can't analyze me, he'll analyze me himself?

Then, based on my own weaknesses, I can deduce the attacks I might launch and prepare counterattacks in advance.
It was already quite remarkable that Yi Yan could come up with this idea. She felt that she truly deserved to be called an angel who possessed both beauty and wisdom, as she had figured out the problem so quickly.

She never doubted the accuracy of the Eye of Insight.

In this way, the weaknesses deduced by the engine become meaningless, and it seems that a head-on battle is about to begin.

However, this is precisely what she, the battle angel, excels at!

"I was careless before, and I admit you're very capable, but the real battle has only just begun," Yan declared.

"Thunder!"

Yan Lieyan's flaming sword pointed to the sky, and rolling thunder began to brew.

This is also a weakness of the technology side; its power is indeed astonishing, but it often requires advance preparation.

Meng Huaifeng wasn't going to obediently wait for the thunder to finish brewing and strike him.

"Flame Split Wave Devouring Spear Final Move, Flame Split Wave Devouring Spear!"

Meng Huaifeng swung the Phantom Gun, edited it, and the gun instantly transformed into a hundred-meter-long weapon, accompanied by special effects of flames and waves, sweeping away the thunderclouds and smashing it down on Yan.

With Meng Huaifeng's current ethereal editing skills, he has basically passed the test in terms of online information, but in terms of rewriting reality, he has only just begun to understand it. He can only slightly rewrite reality, such as rewriting an ID card or bank card, and he cannot fully apply it to combat yet.

However, the Phantom Gun is different. It exists between the virtual and the real. The virtual world is under the control of the Ether Editor, which can be easily rewritten and turned into reality. This allows Meng Huaifeng to experience the application of the Ether Editor in battle in advance.

With the thunderclouds dispersed, Yan could only use the Blazing Sword to draw down the remaining lightning, driven by her genes, to meet Meng Huaifeng's attack.

The flaming sword and the phantom gun made contact, but passed right through each other in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

"Fake? An illusion?"

Just as Yan had this thought, the giant phantom gun that had passed through the Blazing Sword instantly materialized and slammed heavily onto her shoulder.

Yan was shot and slammed onto the lunar surface, looking utterly disheveled.

"What kind of trick is this? It wasn't in the information I saw with my Eye of Insight!" Yan said with a grim face and furrowed brows, his anger already flaring.

She represented the Angelic Civilization, the highest known civilization in the universe, yet she was utterly defeated by a child from an unknown universe.

There are deceptive Flame Devouring Wave techniques, but there is no way to transform reality into illusion and vice versa.

The gun barrel, which was hundreds of meters long, disappeared and returned to its original state.

The Aether Editing ability to rewrite reality is completely different from Welt's Herrscher powers. Welt needs to understand the structure and even the principles of his creations, while the Aether Editing ability does not.

Ether editors don't need to understand how this thing is made or how it works. They just need to keep adding code and settings. The more reasonable and realistic the settings are, the less energy they need to consume and the longer they can last in reality.

The more outlandish the initial concept, the easier it is for reality to correct it after it's rewritten, and the more imaginary energy is required. If the ether editing technology is advanced enough, the consumption can be reduced, and it's not impossible for some less outlandish concepts to exist indefinitely in reality.

To prevent the gun from being repaired by reality after it had stretched for over a hundred meters, Meng Huaifeng had to continuously consume imaginary energy. Therefore, after the attack, Meng Huaifeng allowed it to return to its original state.

Meng Huaifeng leaped to Yan's side, no longer using the newly composed Flame Dividing Wave Spear, but instead unleashing the Cloud Cavalry Spear Technique, launching a continuous barrage of attacks at Yan.

The tricky approach is only useful the first time it's used; it won't work after that. What follows is real, hard-fought combat.

Yan used swordsmanship to fight Meng Huaifeng, but he was restricted in his movements. He could only dodge Meng Huaifeng's attacks and could not block them. However, blocking was often the best option and could create opportunities to attack. Dodging was much more strenuous and embarrassing.

This is a marksmanship technique that wasn't mentioned in the information!

Yan suddenly realized that the information he had seen with his Eye of Insight was false!

Keisha, sitting on her throne in the distant angelic nebula, gently shook her head. This silly girl, she's finally come to her senses.

We've used force too much; our brains have become sluggish from not using them for so long.

This child's weapon looks like the Grim Reaper's phantom form; I wonder if it can harm him.

Keisha watched Yan's battle while her mind wandered.

"Cloud Cavalry Spear Technique, North Wind!"

Yan dodged aside.

Meng Huaifeng flicked his spear, and the spear transformed into a dragon shape, coiling around Xiang Yan and completely surrounding her.

Yan flapped its wings and flew into the sky, with the dragon head in hot pursuit, soaring upwards.

The Martial Soul Phone hovered in front of Meng Huaifeng and took a picture of Yan in the sky.

Yan turned around uncontrollably, making a heart shape with her hands, and playfully closed one eye.

Dragon Spear bit Yan and slammed him heavily to the ground.

A photo fell to the ground, rated 96, and Meng Huaifeng casually picked it up.

The Phantom Gun returned to its original state, and Meng Huaifeng pointed the tip at Yan's throat, saying, "You lost."

Yan's expression shifted, and after a while she finally sighed and said, "You won. That kid was really ruthless. He didn't know how to be gentle with a goddess like me."

In other worlds, some might say that Meng Huaifeng's use of divine weapons to win was unfair, but in this world, technology and external objects are part of strength. If both sides were to disregard external objects, Yan would only be in a worse situation.

"I have no goddesses in my eyes, only rivals." Meng Huaifeng put away the Phantom Gun.

"You'll never find a girlfriend like this," Yan said, still somewhat unwilling. "Don't think you're so great just because you won. I still have many tricks up my sleeve, and I haven't even asked the Queen for computing power."

Many powerful techniques have extremely long wind-up animations and are generally only useful for clearing large areas of enemies or for teamwork where someone can hold off the enemy. They are difficult to use in one-on-one battles where the opponents are evenly matched, such as the battle between Yan and Atuo in the original script.

For these tech geniuses, computing power can indeed provide a real boost to their capabilities.

However, Yan felt that even if they won, it would be unfair to ask for outside help, so she has been hesitant to apply.

"I'm still young. Sister Yan, you don't even have a boyfriend. Why should I be in such a hurry?" Meng Huaifeng smiled.

Moreover, it's not just you who has untapped tricks up your sleeve; I also have my own secret weapons, though of course, not those random blessings from Ahab.

　Yan should be a third-generation super soldier at this time. I remembered it wrong before, but I have corrected it.
