Chapter 204 The Medicine Immortal Gathering and Practical Combat
"That's right, it's the Medicine Immortal Gathering."

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, the leading general nodded calmly.

The Medicine Immortal Gathering?
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing's heart stirred slightly.

This name sounds familiar...

"The Medicine Immortal Society is a cult that has been entrenched in the border region of South China in recent years. Its roots are deeply embedded in the ancient witchcraft and sorcery of the area."

The members of the society are mostly extraordinary individuals, ruthless and vicious, and especially skilled in using Gu poison.

Seeing that Zhuge Qing seemed puzzled, Zhao Fangxu immediately explained in a low voice.

"More importantly, we have solid evidence."

This organization has long been engaged in large-scale human trafficking, with countless victims, most of whom are children.

Their actions were so heinous that they had long since crossed the line of what is human.

Therefore, this time, the military and police, together with our "All-Knowing" team, decided to launch a joint operation with the goal of eradicating this malignant tumor completely.

Zhuge Qing stroked his chin, and the fragmented memories in his mind quickly pieced themselves together.

The Medicine Immortal Gathering, witchcraft and sorcery... if I remember correctly, this seems to be related to the legendary "Gu-body Holy Child".

This is a good opportunity...

"Of course, this operation is imperative, but we mainly want to hear your opinion."

The general's gaze refocused on Zhuge Qing, the scrutiny fading away, replaced by a burning anticipation for his genius.

"Comrade Zhuge, from your professional perspective, does this armor... currently possess the capability for actual combat?"

What he really wanted to verify was not just the performance parameters of the armor, but a revolutionary possibility—an elite soldier forged by a modern military system, wearing this armor, could directly confront those superhuman beings who had achieved mastery and used unpredictable methods.

To what extent can it actually be achieved?
"can."

Zhuge Qing pondered for a moment, then gave an affirmative answer, and then added,
"However, since the opponent is an expert in witchcraft, the armor needs some targeted adjustments, mainly to enhance its airtightness."

"If the person wearing the armor is our most elite special forces soldier, and has undergone short-term acclimatization training... I think that just one set of armor should be enough to wipe out the entire Medicine Immortal Society."

Zhuge Qing's thinking was very clear.

The most troublesome ability of a Gu Master is undoubtedly the elusive and unpredictable poison Gu, which is impossible to defend against.

However, the Xingtian Armor's fully enclosed structure, coupled with its independent circulation system composed of "Primordial Qi," should be able to isolate Gu poison.

Once this is done, the Gu Master's greatest advantage will disappear.

As for direct combat, it's impossible for such a skilled martial artist like Hu to appear among these cowardly cultists.
"Huh? What did you say?"

Even the leading general, a veteran of many battles and with a will as firm as a rock, could not hold back at this moment, and his voice rose a few decibels.

His original plan was simply to use armored soldiers as surprise troops during the operation to exchange blows with the experts of the Medicine Immortal Society and collect practical combat data.

To assess its performance in real combat against Inhumans. This is already a rather ambitious plan.

So how did it come out of Zhuge Qing's mouth and become a story of a single soldier crushing an entire organization of supernatural beings?
"What I mean is, it's theoretically feasible."

Zhuge Qing calmly repeated himself, his tone remaining composed despite the astonished gazes of the crowd.

"The armor can be used in actual combat."

However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, it would be best if the selected person to wear the costume arrived a few days in advance. I need to give him some basic training so he can fully familiarize himself with this 'new body.'

A brief silence fell over the conference room.

The three generals exchanged glances, and in each of their eyes they saw an overwhelming excitement and awe.

Finally, the leading general took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

……

A few days later.

The alloy gate of the top-secret base slowly opened, and a man dressed in black casual clothes walked in.

He was tall and had a steady gait. Although he was dressed casually, the sharp aura that emanated from his very bones was like a drawn blade, making people afraid to look him in the eye.

He walked straight up to Zhao Fangxu and Zhuge Qing, stood with his feet together, and instantly straightened his posture, giving an impeccable military salute.

"Leng Feng, from the 'Wolf Warrior Squadron' of the Special Operations Brigade, reporting for duty! Greetings, Commander!"

His voice was loud and clear, resounding and firm.

"Forehead……"

Looking at the sharply defined face in front of him, and the familiar unit number and name, Zhuge Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

This world is truly amazing...

He took the file from Zhao Fangxu and quickly glanced through it.

His resume is truly impressive. He has carried out numerous top-level secret missions overseas, demonstrating exceptional skill in almost every area, including firearms, hand-to-hand combat, demolition, and infiltration. His psychological resilience is also extraordinary.

All I can say is, you truly live up to your reputation, Wolf Warrior.

Over the next few days, Zhuge Qing, along with Leng Feng, began an intensive short-term training program.

The training content was not traditional physical fitness or combat skills, but rather to help him understand and become familiar with the true core of the "Xingtian" armor. "The fighting style of the Xingtian armor originates from the ancient military and tactical thought, which can be summarized in ten words: 'Later movers arrive first, strategize to cut off weaknesses.'"

Inside the training ground, Leng Feng, clad in crimson armor, appeared somewhat clumsy.

He had just tried to perform a set of military boxing techniques that he knew by heart, but he found that although his strength had increased, he was restricted in many ways and his movements were far less fluid than his own body.

"As a general, standing amidst a vast army, one must not act rashly. One must have a keen understanding of the overall situation and plan carefully before making a move; this is what is meant by 'striking after the enemy has moved.' But once one strikes, it must be as powerful as thunder, striking the vital points directly and achieving success in one blow; this is what is meant by 'arriving first.'"

Your biggest problem right now is that you're still using your own body to control it; you're actively exerting force, while it's passively enduring it.

What you need to do is abandon your inherent fighting instincts and become one with this armor.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing shook his head and explained from the side.

"Give up your instincts?"

Leng Feng's voice came from inside the armor, filled with deep confusion.

Report! All my combat skills come from instincts honed through countless missions!

If I give up, am I still myself?

"Your past instincts were based on your flesh and blood."

But now, this armor is also an extension of your body.

The armor contains a sophisticated computing unit that can deduce and predict all of the enemy's actions.

What you need to do is 'feel' its predictions, instead of trying to 'control' it with your old habits.

Submerge your consciousness, your 'heart,' into its armor, letting it become an extension of your senses and body.

Zhuge Qing explained.

At first, the cold front was extremely uncomfortable.

He felt like a novice trapped in a tin can, possessing great strength but unable to use it.

The more he tried to launch a swift attack, the more sluggish the armored figure became.

His prized combat instincts seemed like a joke in the face of cold metal and complex energy circuits. Frustration was an emotion this ace soldier had never experienced before.

But as a top-tier warrior, his adaptability and willpower are terrifying.

Under Zhuge Qing's guidance, he began to try to calm down and stop thinking about how to punch or kick. Instead, he focused all his energy on feeling the flow of "Qi" inside the armor, which was like a river of stars.

A few days later, at the training ground.

The crimson Xingtian armor stood silently in the center, like a war god.

Suddenly, it moved!

With a sharp whistling sound that seemed to tear through the air, his right fist aimed straight for Zhuge Qing's face.

This punch was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Both its speed and power far surpassed those before, clearly indicating that Leng Feng had found the knack.

However, just before the fist was about to strike, Zhuge Qing's figure moved like a weightless wisp of smoke, advancing instead of retreating. With strange footwork, he swayed slightly and ghost-like cut into the armor's blind spot, appearing behind it and pointing a finger at the back of the armor's neck joint.

In the past, Leng Feng would have been defeated.

But this time, he didn't think about it, he didn't even look!

The moment Zhuge Qing made his move, a mysterious feeling welled up in his heart.

He "saw" it!
Through the armor's sensory abilities, he "saw" Zhuge Qing's actions and intentions!
Instinct was still screaming at him to turn and block, but a more powerful "intuition"—the result of the armor's calculations—told him the optimal solution.

Leng Feng's consciousness followed this "intuition".

Instead of turning around, he suddenly exerted force in the opposite direction with his waist, and the heavy armor propelled his right leg to sweep horizontally to the rear at an angle that completely defied the common sense of human force generation!
"boom!!"

With a heavy thud, Zhuge Qing was sent flying backward, performing a graceful somersault in the air before landing steadily.

"Heh~ Not bad, you've finally got the hang of it~"

Zhuge Qing clapped his hands, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Haha...hahaha! This feeling...is so amazing!"

With a soft clicking sound, the visor covering Leng Feng's head popped open, revealing his sweaty yet extremely excited face.

In that instant, he didn't think; he simply trusted the armor.

That feeling was truly amazing; you could clearly perceive every move the enemy made, and the armor would respond perfectly based on your awareness.

No wonder the other party said the armor was part of his body...

……

On the other hand, NaDuTong South China Region

"What the hell? Have the people in charge lost their minds?"

Liao Zhong, the person in charge of the South China region, stared blankly at the document in his hand.

The higher-ups actually said they needed to test new weapons and equipment and asked them to cooperate?
Even more outrageous is that this thing is supposedly a single-soldier weapon...
