Chapter 70: Too Afraid to Report to the Leader
"Yi Chen is truly impressive! His new skill has once again broken the limitations of human physical structure."
In front of the screen, the wealthiest individuals in the galaxy praised him endlessly.
"I knew it! Yi Chen’s new skill would once again drive the stock market to soar across the galaxy. It was worth it to start gathering funds six months ago and secretly accumulate shares."
"The ability to make humans fly is fascinating; it’ll be quite interesting once we learn this skill."
"This talent, breaking free from the constraints of traditional thinking time and again, is incredibly astonishing. If I could trade for it, I would exchange all my wealth for Yi Chen’s talent."
"Such a pity that the guy sent to the exile planet at a high cost, although he got lucky with proximity to the Green Grass Tribe, has achieved nothing after all this time."
"With his level, being a top-ten scam expert in the galaxy, he hasn’t even seen Yi Chen’s face in over half a year. Forget about gaining Yi Chen’s attention or affection; he’s basically useless."
"That said, with Yi Chen not leaving home for more than half a year and forbidding others from disturbing him, if I were in that position, I probably wouldn’t dare to act recklessly either. I would just patiently hide and wait."
All the top billionaires felt both joy and worry.
They were happy because their sharp judgment and insight allowed them to strategically invest in the stock market, leading to great profits.
They were worried because the person they sent to the exile planet at a great cost had made no progress.
Moreover, the skill research institute, built with a huge investment, was burning through resources daily while yielding no results.
Two plans aimed at success but met obstacles on both ends.
…
"Since everyone is here, let’s discuss the main issue!"
In the conference room of the military headquarters, Marshal Iron Blood saw all the military executives appear at the conference table and immediately got to the point.
"The military restructuring must accelerate. For the infantry, we’ll increase the talent requirements by thirty percent again and raise the military budget five-fold."
"Speed up the formation of special forces. Once Yi Chen teaches the new skill, we need to quickly formulate tactics and exercises for flying and the Heaven-Slashing Technique."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"No objections!"
The two Eight-Star Generals and twelve Seven-Star Generals expressed their agreement without hesitation.
It passed unanimously.
"Next…"
Marshal Iron Blood continued, "We will significantly reduce the research and development costs for mechs while preparing to abolish and resettle mech soldiers."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"No objections!"
Again, it passed unanimously without any dissent.
After a pause, Marshal Iron Blood gazed intently and said, "For pilots and battleship soldiers, we will increase the weight and requirements for talent. We’ll decide on specifics once the analysts provide detailed reports."
"The promotion system will be readjusted, but the conditions for obtaining ranks remain unchanged. However, for military positions, in addition to military achievements, we will add requirements for talent and realm, allowing for gradual progress in the early stages."
"We will find ways to collect spirit materials that can enhance the talents of generals with lower abilities and realms. Additionally, we will assign one or more talented individuals as aides to any officer of battalion level or higher who has low talent and strength."
"At critical moments, aides with higher realms and quicker reactions will have the right to make decisions on their behalf."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"No objections!"
Once again, the proposal passed unanimously.
This military meeting was destined to be the most harmonious and least controversial one within the entire Military.
The birth of Yi Chen’s new skill fulfilled humanity’s long-standing desire to fly freely in the sky.
Moreover, it gave hope to the military leaders that humanity could slay various races single-handedly.
While the flying ability combined with the Heaven-Slashing Technique might not be as powerful as mechs at this stage, the geniuses among humanity still had significant room for improvement.
Sooner or later, they would be able to defeat mechs with ease, leveraging their agility.
Most importantly, this new combat method could continually evolve, while the performance of mechs had not seen any groundbreaking advancements in nearly a thousand years.
The military leaders present could almost unanimously conclude that genetic warriors had already been eliminated.
After a hundred years, mech warriors would also find it difficult to escape the fate of retreating from the historical stage.
A complete restructuring of the military was already an essential action to take, unlike the last military meeting where most thought a slow rollout was preferable.
They all understood that the races opposing humanity in the surrounding galaxy would not grant humanity much time for development.
…
In the Angelic Galaxy, Klai Planet.
In a massive palace, Burton, the ruler of this planet and the high-ranking Leader of the Angelic Beings overseeing the entire Angelic espionage organization, frowned as he looked at the latest document in his hands.
"Another report about this human genius!"
His head throbbed slightly with a dull pain, and a hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes.
The individual hailed as the greatest talent in human history had created a new skill that would allow humanity to fly freely in the sky.
With his keen eye, he could easily assess the shockingly powerful combination of flight abilities and the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
The human military’s restructuring would surely be expedited as a result.
Logically, humanity was one of the greatest enemies of the Angelic Beings.
Such significant information would need to reach the Leader of the Angelic Beings without delay.
However, he hesitated to do so.
Having already presented images of the human genius’s new skill to the Leader twice, and facing the Leader’s discontent and reprimands, he worried that if he presented a third report within a year and still found the Leader dismissive of the human genius, he would be in serious trouble.
Among the tribe members of the Angelic Beings, he was a powerful two-winged golden angel, a high-ranking member managing the espionage organization, a being who held dominion over the fates of countless Angelic Beings.
But before the volatile and bloodthirsty Leader of the Angelic Beings, he was merely a capable servant.
If a servant consistently failed to please, the consequences could be unimaginable.
"Forget it; I can only hope that Lie Bo and the genetic warrior he trained can quickly eliminate this human genius."
In the end, Burton chose to abandon the report.
He dared not take that risk.
Fortunately, he felt a bit relieved knowing that Lie Bo, whom he sent to gather intelligence on humanity, had performed well.
Lie Bo wasn’t particularly powerful; he was just a silver-winged angel.
However, considering Lie Bo’s clarity of thought and decisiveness, Burton weighed the options and eventually sent him to the galaxy as the responsible leader.
When Yi Chen only created the Cloud Treading Technique and had yet to develop the Heaven-Slashing Technique, Lie Bo had relinquished all his abilities and mixed in with the dispatched heavy criminals alongside the genetic warrior he had trained.
For this, Burton had once scolded Lie Bo for being insane.
Now, looking back, that young man’s insight and judgment were astonishingly sharp.
He had already predicted that the human genius would become a significant threat to the Angelic Beings, willing to sacrifice all his cultivation and abandon all affairs with a determination to resolve this pressing issue on the exile planet.
"We cannot simply give up on such talent. If he succeeds in assassinating the human genius, we could exchange him for captured human leaders. I just wonder if the human council will agree!"
"Whether they agree or not, if necessary, I will risk losing a group of four-winged and six-winged silver angels and all the genetic warriors trained within humanity. Even if it means storming the human military headquarters to break him out, I will rescue Lie Bo!"
Burton exhaled, feeling a bit more settled.
