Chapter 44

Time passed, and two more months went by, with the strength of the Silver Leaf Group members leaping once again.

Du Nan had been in seclusion for six days, and Ye Binghua was the first to successfully integrate the three-star origin, surpassing Li Yinzhu and advancing to the three-star Crimson Steel level. Li Yinzhu quickly followed, and Yinyin successfully integrated within five days. After another month and a few days, the fatty and Siyan also emerged from their seclusion, becoming Crimson Steel knights. However, in terms of physical techniques, they were always one step behind, unable to reach the fourth level.

Du Nan remained in seclusion for two months, with no news at all.

The others were not overly worried.

They all knew how strong the "repulsion" between the Light Blue Core and the Dark Blue Core was. If anyone could do it, would the Pure Blue Skill still be a secret? At this moment, they all had a mysterious confidence in Du Nan, believing he would surely succeed and become a monster-level human like Qin Zhong.

Another half a month passed.

Du Nan finally came out.

Yinyin only needed one glance, and her expression changed abruptly. She immediately rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch to Du Nan's chest.

Boom!

Du Nan did not move, supporting himself with one hand on the door. Countless cracks spread like a spider web. The titanium alloy wall beside him shattered like a broken wooden board under the force of Yinyin's punch and Du Nan's control. The fatty and Siyan were only surprised, but Ye Binghua and Li Yinzhu were utterly shocked.

"Physical technique level five?" Ye Binghua whispered.

"What?!" Before Du Nan could respond, the fatty and Siyan exclaimed in shock.

Du Nan nodded.

Everyone instantly turned to stone... Physical technique level five, a super-strong physical technique expert rarely seen on the entire Blue Sea Planet. It was rumored that there were fewer than ten people with physical technique level six on Blue Sea Planet, even fewer than Diamond Knights. There were fewer than thirty people with physical technique level five, an incredibly small number. Even geniuses who only cultivated physical techniques could only reach level four, a significant milestone. Those who could reach level five were historically rare.

In just two months, Brother Du had advanced another level?

Actually, this was the miraculous effect of the divine artifact fragments... Du Nan could not say this. He knew that a significant part of his advancement was due to the enhancement effects of the three divine artifact fragments. The enhancement of the body by the divine artifact fragments was terrifying. Even advancing to the next level of physical technique, level six, would not be a significant obstacle. With a few more months of training, he should be able to reach it.

In terms of physical bloodline, Du Nan no longer felt any issues.

The Thunder Core provided the best "Universal Fusion Constitution"... The three divine artifact fragments enhanced his flesh, bones, and bloodline, forming a supreme foundation for physical techniques... Combined with the knowledge of a genius scholar, the ancient physical technique book from Master Zhou Zhishan, the legacy from the Thunder Emperor, and the adventure notes from Baobao's father, among other things.

If he couldn't make a name for himself after all this, he would have no face to show anyone.

Magic power level three, physical technique level five.

At this moment, Du Nan, who should have been excited, instead remained calm. Perhaps when a strong person reaches a certain level, they undergo a qualitative change. Just like those violent kids from half a year ago, who are now battlefield gods.

Strength is the fundamental factor that changes a person.

"Can we connect to the magic network here? Let's go find Qin Zhong." Du Nan did not mention resting, and his words made everyone's eyes light up.

At this moment, no one felt any fear.

Qin Zhong.

The invincible general of the entire Azure Region Network, an unclimbable mountain... They were looking forward to the meeting.

Half a year ago, they would have been scared stiff at the mention of his name, but today... they were looking forward to the meeting.

******

Shallow Sea Fortress.

The massive mech corps of the Red Dragon Federation surged like a tide. The Shallow Sea Fortress had no soldiers in front and no reinforcements behind. The battle that would decide the fate of the Blue Sea Federation was now in its final stages. If nothing unexpected happened, the Blue Sea Federation would become a colony of the Red Dragon Federation in a few days, disappearing without a trace.

"I'm curious, why aren't the three elders here, and why hasn't Lord Luo come?" Du Nan, who had "joined" the Red Dragon offensive, had already entered the Shallow Sea Fortress.

He knew that the "self-destruction" of this fortress was imminent.

To "win," they had to prevent Qin Zhong's suicidal explosion.

"They are all tied up and can't spare themselves. In large-scale battles, Diamond Knights are the focus of attention. Before Qin Zhong arrived at the Shallow Sea Fortress, he had to kill two Diamond Knights to get here. If the allied forces fail, those Diamond Knights will also stop. Whether it's colonization or not, the status of magic power warriors will not change, and some may even be better off." The fatty explained, indicating the high status of magic power warriors, far above the federation.

They were people living outside the law and power. Whoever ruled, magic power warriors were always the top dogs.

"I see." Du Nan understood.

For the big shots, interstellar colonial wars were like a game. It wasn't about who had the more sophisticated means; it was a performance where you take the stage today and I take the stage tomorrow. They didn't like generals like Qin Zhong, who were too determined. Perhaps some people thought that being colonized by the Red Dragon Federation wasn't such a bad thing.

"Be careful, the Shallow Sea Guard is coming."

Li Yinzhu canceled his invisibility and reported the latest news.

In the Shallow Sea battle.

The famous Shallow Sea Guard had already locked onto the Silver Leaf Group. These "active" members were a very unsafe presence to them. No matter what General Qin Zhong intended to do, they had to eliminate all obstacles.

... Charge, flatten the Shallow Sea Fortress...

Another Red Dragon hero, the six-star Diamond Knight Zhuo Feifan, was currently raising his sword and commanding the advance. Due to his "bravery," the Red Dragon Federation lost half of its offensive forces. But he was a six-star Diamond Knight, and no one dared to question him, attributing it to Qin Zhong's "shameless" self-destruction.

The Silver Leaf Group ignored the orders.

They knew that this guy was hyped as a great hero, but in reality, he couldn't even get past the Shallow Sea Guard. Expecting him to charge to Qin Zhong's side was like hoping Qin Zhong would suddenly go crazy and surrender, which had a higher probability. Now, in the Crimson Steel map, both Qin Zhong and Zhuo Feifan only had the strength of Crimson Steel ninth-class soldiers... In this battlefield, the great hero Zhuo would die faster.

Even Du Nan knew that the great hero Zhuo was called "Charge Dog" in the White Iron Zone, a guy who could be headshot by snipers in the White Iron map. He could survive the longest in the Diamond map, but without the top-tier strength, he would die faster the more he charged.

"Be careful, fatty and Siyan. The mech in front of you seems to be Song Xingzhou." Du Nan sensed a familiar movement and warned.

"Yeah, it's him. Old Song fought in the Shallow Sea battle." The fatty knew more.

Song Xingzhou, with physical technique level six, at the top of the physical technique hierarchy on Blue Sea Planet, was just a charge captain in the Shallow Sea Fortress. Without magic power, his combat power in a magic mech was not strong. If it weren't for his physical technique level six, he wouldn't even be in the Shallow Sea Guard.

"Are Jin Yin and Li Qifeng here?" Du Nan did not fully engage, mixing in the Red Dragon mech corps.

"Li Qifeng hasn't been born yet, and my dad was still a kid." Yinyin was dissatisfied, thinking Du Nan's common knowledge was too low. The Shallow Sea battle was a long time ago.

The fatty and Siyan were speechless.

They were already used to Du Nan's lack of common knowledge... His common knowledge was inversely proportional to his talent. The higher the talent, the lower the common knowledge.

"Oh."

Du Nan was a bit surprised. At this time, Song Xingzhou was already in his fifties. Li Qifeng was now in his late thirties, and he hadn't been born during the Shallow Sea battle... So Song Xingzhou must be at least a hundred years old? Physical technique strength and longevity, but it shouldn't make Song Xingzhou look like a sixty-year-old, right? This was like cutting his age in half?

The Red Dragon mech corps charged, and more and more of them died under the slaughter of the Shallow Sea Guard.

Fortunately, their numbers were too large.

The team gradually advanced, infiltrating the central defense zone of the Shallow Sea Fortress.

"Great Hero Zhuo is dead." The fatty commented, then asked, "This guy is really useless, he can't even break into the central zone. Who knows if he really did in the real war?"

Everyone shook their heads, thinking the Red Dragon army must have kept it secret.

It was probably a very embarrassing result.

"Strange, the Shallow Sea Guard is retreating." Du Nan sensed something and suddenly said, "Not good, Qin Zhong has already activated the self-destruction device."

"No way?" The fatty didn't believe it.

"Is this a war simulation, or a random map event? It shouldn't be possible, right? It's said that Qin Zhong only activated the self-destruction after a fierce battle. We haven't even entered the central zone yet. Brother Du, is this a random strategic change in the map?" Lu Sheng was also unsure, thinking they had been following the historical script all along.

Why add a bit of surprise now?

Could it be that Qin Zhong knew he couldn't hold out and prepared to destroy a batch of Red Dragon soldiers to gain a greater advantage for the Blue Sea Federation?

"Old Song is retreating, which doesn't seem like his character." Li Yinzhu observed and analyzed.

Yinyin and Ye Binghua nodded.

In their minds, Song Xingzhou was also the type who would fight to the death and never retreat. Why did he suddenly abandon his teammates and run? Could it be that this was Qin Zhong's plan, calculating the course of the war early on, and willing to sacrifice himself to cut off the Red Dragon Federation's sharpest blade? Was the "history" outside just a lie?

"Lock the recording viewing permissions, you guys fall back."

Du Nan suddenly said. At this moment, a strange pale blue water curtain appeared in the central zone, as if swallowing countless magic power warriors.

"Brother Du..." The fatty was puzzled.

This was the magic network, with infinite resurrection.

Winning or losing wasn't important, why not fight to the end and retreat now?

Du Nan extended his hand, and a pale blue energy enveloped Li Wenfu, then said, "I'll only tell you this: this is the Pure Blue Skill, which has the properties of water. It can invisibly invade the bodies of water-type magic power warriors. Your magic power is weaker than mine, and I can burst and shatter you without even moving. Even if your magic power is greater, I can still lock your breathing. If you can't defeat me while holding your breath, you will suffocate to death."

As Du Nan spoke, the fatty's face turned red, and he couldn't breathe.

Hearing about the Pure Blue Skill, everyone was shocked: Magic power warriors can hold their breath for a long time, dozens or even hundreds of times longer than ordinary people. But they still need to breathe. If the time is too long, the brain will be damaged. Fighting in this "water" and suffocating... could you possibly win? And if the magic power is greater, it could directly burst your body. Could you rely on skill to fight?

This Pure Blue Skill is an unbeatable trump card!

Du Nan trusted them so much, and they secretly vowed to keep this secret.

But they didn't know.

Thunder magic power and divine artifact fragments were Du Nan's greatest secrets. The Pure Blue Skill was not a particularly valuable thing.

"Qin Zhong has connected the surrounding area with Pure Blue Skill. Any water-type warrior who steps in will add to his self-destruction power. Except for Yinyin and Yinzhu, you stepping in would be like offering yourself up. Understand? Let's go, there's no time left. I'll go and meet him." Du Nan finished and flashed inside.

Yinyin hesitated slightly.

She sighed and stepped back.

Everyone understood her reluctance. She was not a water-type magic power warrior but a fire-type warrior. Stepping in wouldn't make her Qin Zhong's fuel. But suffocating in the "Pure Blue Water" and fighting Qin Zhong, a super monster, would be a sure death. Li Yinzhu, with earth-type magic power, also had no confidence in facing Qin Zhong.

"Should we install a breathing apparatus?" The fatty had a sudden idea as he stepped back.

"Rubbish!" Everyone scolded him, making the fatty shrink his head. They thought this was magic power suffocation, not real water suffocation. It was like throwing a person frozen by ice into a fire to thaw... they would be completely melted.

Pure Blue burst, Pure Blue suffocation... without a counter skill, it was an unsolvable ability.

You can't fight, you can only run.
