Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 56 - 34 Thunderbolt Battle Blade_2

Balance, although only a basic ability, had exceptional effects. Whether in close combat or at martial arts ranks, footwork was the most important fundamental skill and greatly enhanced one’s strength.

Ji Xinghuo estimated that after mastering balance, his own martial arts rank should reach that of a professional seventh dan!

Thus, among the five abilities of a Ranger—Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand, Flash Step, Intuitive Reflex, Precision, and Balance—he had mastered four, with only "Flash Step" left.

He remembered the "Flash Step" he saw in the alien species store on the day he bought the life spirit seed.

The fusion success rate given by Wanxiang Star Pupil was 95%, ranking first among the alien species, which showed a very high compatibility with him.

"Shall I fuse with Flash Step in the future?"

Ji Xinghuo hesitated.

The effect of Flash Step was to burst out with speed in an instant, as fast as lightning, but the moving distance was extremely short, and it consumed a great deal of physical fitness and star power.

Besides rangers, the professional templates of swordsmen, gravity warriors, and those with Flying Steps also included Flash Step, and martial artists could also replace an ability in their template with Flash Step.

This shows how powerful Flash Step is.

Flash Step, being a basic ability, was quite common, yet its potential was the highest among basic abilities.

Many experts of alien species and mutants believe that after several upgrades, Flash Step could rival transcendent abilities, and the higher the level of Flash Step, the more exaggerated the effect it displayed.

If he were just a regular Ranger, he would definitely fuse with Flash Step.

But now he was a Magnetic Field Madman.

Flash Step was not included in the professional template of a Magnetic Field Madman, and all mutants had very limited fusion times, which were extremely precious. A Magnetic Field Madman already possessed seven abilities, so one could not waste them recklessly.

Unless one could obtain some other capacity-expanding rarities.

"Forget it, I’ll consider it when the time comes," Ji Xinghuo pushed these miscellaneous thoughts aside and focused on training.

In the following days.

Ji Xinghuo spent almost the entire day at the training field, honing his physical fitness, cultivating star power, sparring in martial arts, and adapting to equipment; his schedule was packed.

There were nearly 50 hours in a day in the Star Realm, and he slept only eight hours each day.

The rest of the time was spent training. novelbuddy.cσ๓

The ether tea prepared by Ren Mian worked wonders, helping Ji Xinghuo’s star power value breakthrough to 100, and his level in the Rotating Magnetic Field also improved by one point.

The greatest improvement was in his martial arts rank.

In just a few days, Ji Xinghuo’s level of martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds. Even without the Gale Battle Boots, Jiangnan Caiyi, a professional seventh dan, was no longer his match, with a winning rate of around seventy percent.

When facing Zhonglin, a professional ninth dan, while wielding Thunderbolt and wearing Gale Battle Boots, he could fight on equal footing.

Of course, Zhonglin did not use his full strength.

Even so, Ji Xinghuo’s rapid progress in martial arts had startled Zhonglin, who no longer dared to go out to bars and diligently practiced every day as if he had become a different person.

Sometimes, Ren Mian would also join in the sparring.

Her weapon was a pair of gauntlets.

Although it was clear that Ren Mian was not focused on martial arts and seemed to practice out of boredom, she claimed she had never participated in a rank evaluation. Still, her martial arts rank was solidly at the master level, and might even be above!

Ji Xinghuo could hold his own against Zhonglin, but against Ren Mian, he barely had the power to fight back.

He was like a punching bag throughout the fight.

After dinner in the evening.

At the dinner table, Ren Mian had announced they would be going hunting tomorrow, advising everyone not to train in the evening and to conserve their energy for recovery.

Therefore, Ji Xinghuo didn’t practice for once and sat in the garden, enjoying the night scenery.

It was star night, and the sky was covered with the reflection of the galaxy.

Having spent more than a dozen "star night" cycles in the Star Realm, equivalent to over a month on Earth, every time he saw the galaxy in the starry night sky, he was always awed by its magnificent splendor and his mind wandered.

Footsteps approached from behind.

He didn’t need to turn around to know it was Zhonglin, who plopped down beside him.

But neither spoke.

Zhonglin gazed at the galaxy, with the starlight reflecting on his face, revealing a contemplative expression utterly different from his usually wild and unruly demeanor, as if he were troubled by something.

After a long while, Ji Xinghuo broke the silence.

"Have you been to other planets?"

The Star Realm is the only way to leave the Solar System, and it’s the same for other Alien Species.

From the Star Realm, one could go to any planet in the Galaxy. There were rumors on the internet that many powerful Mutants had gone through other Star Gates and arrived at planets beyond Earth.

"No."

Chi Zhonglin shook his head, "The Sky Feather Royal Court rules over eight Alien Species, including Earth. However, apart from the ’Beiluo Shimen people,’ the other seven Alien Species have little contact with us, and they generally don’t easily allow other races to enter their Star Gates."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He had only asked casually and did not expect an answer beyond his expectations.

The Sky Feather Royal Court is the Star Realm kingdom where Olympia is located, established by a branch of the Sky Clan and ruling over the entire "Thousand Peak Abyss Forest", with an area exceeding two hundred million square kilometers!

This is larger than the land area of Earth.

And the range of activities for Earth’s Mutants rarely extends beyond two thousand kilometers from Olympia City.

Only a very small number of Earth’s Mutants have ever ventured beyond the range of the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest.

Across this vast land, covered with boundless primordial forests, the ground crisscrossed with ravines, there were countless bottomless canyons, akin to abysses, within a complex and deep environment, ever-changing climate, with the most prominent being over a thousand giant "Floating Mountains" suspended in the sky.

The Thousand Peak Abyss Forest was named for this reason.

The naturally flying Sky Clan built cities upon these Floating Mountains, making them their homes, and gradually developed into the Sky Feather Royal Court.

The Sky Feather Royal Court is the master of the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest, but they don’t pay much attention to the land beneath the Floating Mountains, treating it as a hunting ground.

The land is home to a vast number of Star Realm Alien Races, as well as countless powerful beasts, beings, and monsters.

Humans on Earth have to compete for territory with these Alien Races.

However, Earth’s greatest enemy is neither the Sky Clan nor the other Star Realm Alien Races, but the Alien Species from Beiluo Shimen!

Beiluo Shimen is 25 light-years away from Earth, an unattainable distance in the Galaxy, but in the Star Realm, the distance between the Star Gates of the two is only 548 kilometers!

This is almost right under the nose.

Unfortunately, the Star Gate of Beiluo Shimen was opened more than a thousand years earlier than Earth’s!

In 2033, when Earth’s Star Gate was activated, the people of Beiluo Shimen quickly discovered Earth and immediately launched a large-scale invasion.

In the first year of the invasion, over two billion humans died, and over the next decade, the heavy toll paid by the nations of Earth was mostly to fight against the people of Beiluo Shimen.

Although Earth successfully repelled the people of Beiluo Shimen and regained the Star Gate with the support of the Sky Feather Royal Court, the deep hatred was already forged.

Over the past two centuries, the people of Beiluo Shimen have continually attacked humanity and cities, causing countless deaths and injuries.

While Earth’s nations continuously fought amongst themselves, they always managed to set aside their differences and join hands against Beiluo Shimen, the number one deadly enemy that nearly caused human extinction!

Ji Xinghuo had not seen the people of Beiluo Shimen with his own eyes, but he knew that he would have to face these aliens sooner or later.

He asked Chi Zhonglin for advice on how to deal with the people of Beiluo Shimen.

The two talked for a long time.

The reflection of the Galaxy faded gradually as the Star Night was about to end, Ji Xinghuo suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know about Ren Mian’s background?"

Chi Zhonglin looked at him oddly, "Why do you ask this?"

"Just curious." Ji Xinghuo had his answer ready, "Ren Mian is so powerful and beautiful, she should have been famous by now. But I’ve never heard of her before, and her name isn’t on the ’Heavenly Ladder’, it’s a bit unbelievable, too mysterious."

Chi Zhonglin chuckled, "A few years ago, I was just like you, asking the same question, but Ren Mian would not tell, and I never saw her on Earth."

"So you don’t know either." Ji Xinghuo’s face showed realization, "Ren Mian" must be a pseudonym.

"What difference does it make if you knew?"

Chi Zhonglin did not care, but his expression was very serious, and he solemnly said, "I only know Ren Mian has been very good to us, without her, I would never have achieved my current strength. One day, Ren Mian will tell us in time. Whoever dares to harm her is our enemy!"

Ji Xinghuo nodded emphatically, agreeing, "You’re right."

"Rest now, we leave tomorrow." Chi Zhonglin got up, patted Ji Xinghuo on the shoulder, "I am looking forward to your performance."
