Starting Cultivation in Wasteland
Chapter 769 - 639: Too Weak
When the Guardian Supreme Chi Yang realized that the opponent's Sound Wave Attack could threaten him, his mood shifted dramatically.
Being a Guardian Supreme of a planet is not merely about achieving a high Cultivation Level; there are actually a series of requirements.
One of these is, since you're called a "Guardian," you should have an indomitable courage.
Chi Yang, with remarkable bravery, dared to confront Qinghu assertively. He knew he might not be a match for the opponent, but in terms of momentum, he could not lose.
However, encountering a method that restrained him, if he continued to be oblivious, he would only be asking for trouble.
The two Supremes opposite him, though defiant, hadn't actually caused any harm to Celestial Hook.
This time, Chi Yang stepped forward purely to bolster the Anomalous Management Division, to warn certain Supremes to maintain reverence for the Imperial Government.
Before Qinghu returned, he was too lazy to visit Half-Star Island—a nobody of a Supreme wasn't worth it.
The truth is, though Qinghu was low-key, everyone who knew her was aware that she was not someone to provoke.
Chi Yang planned to step forward once she returned; as for facing two Supremes at once—what's the big deal?
Yet he really hadn't expected that the "unknowned Supreme" he dismissed would use a Sound Wave Attack.
This kind of attack method is not something an ordinary Supreme can master, let alone learn.
What's particularly frightening is that their Sound Wave Attack not only targeted lesser beings but posed a significant threat to himself, of equal Cultivation Level.
Therefore, he had to change his strategy, at least he could no longer continue to be aggressive.
When it comes down to it, the opponent was merely somewhat defiant, without any egregious acts that needed "guarding" against.
However, as for Chi Yang's words, Qu Jianlei simply ignored them.
Qinghu hadn't spoken, so it definitely wouldn't be appropriate for him to speak out, as a guest, shouldn't you avoid overshadowing the host?
Chi Yang didn't receive a response, and his expression became increasingly ugly—so you both just completely ignore me?
At this moment, the driver spoke, his face now devoid of a relaxed smile, replaced by a look of gravity.
"Guardian Lord, this Sound Wave Attack hasn't affected me...it's a directional attack."
His intention was to give Chi Yang a face-saving gesture—it's not that your power is insufficient, but that the opponent is too powerful!
Unexpectedly, these words directly skewed the Guardian Supreme's thoughts.
Chi Yang was actually unsure if the opponent's method qualified as a Sound Wave Attack and was originally contemplating a further analysis.
But now with someone validating his judgment, there was no need to ponder further—this was not a time for silence.
After a pause, he spoke with a face ashen with rage. "Qinghu, and that person... are you really going to defy the Imperial Government?"
The Guardian Supreme no longer emitted any oppression, not because he was going with the flow, but because it was already useless.
Bringing out futile means would only cause outsiders to look down on the government—can't something fresh be produced?
Without the oppression, Chi Yang's voice wasn't too loud, but the island's two Supremes obviously heard him.
Qu Jianlei had no reaction, as if he hadn't been the one who spoke a moment ago.
"Hold still!" Qinghu chided without hesitation, then turned to Qu Jianlei, "Impressive Sound Wave Attack."
Actually... it wasn't a Sound Wave Attack, Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "It's just a minor trick, apologies for embarrassing you!"
This you call a "minor trick"? The purple-red on Chi Yang's face hadn't faded, and upon hearing this, it showed signs of deepening.
Qinghu shook her head and sighed softly, "No need to be so modest... forget it, let's first deal with these noisy people."
"Yuanyuan, open the door and let Chi Yang in... that driver stay put! My place, you're not worthy of entering!"
Her perception of the driver wasn't good to begin with, and having heard about his recent boasts on the island, she disliked him even more.
The driver attempted to follow through the door, but stopped in his tracks after hearing those words, though his face showed no emotion.
This person truly embodied the idea of "as long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed will be others."
Chi Yang entered with two A-level Warriors, his expression remained darkly purple.
"Qinghu, what a pompous stance you have, to think you can disregard the Imperial's intentions!"
Qinghu glanced at him impassively, "If I were you, I'd spit out that mouthful of blood; it would do your body good."
"What blood!" Chi Yang's face turned a shade more purple, his chest heaving several times.
"No matter how one says it, being a Supreme who only knows to wield words inevitably becomes a laughing stock!"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes but said nothing.
However, this expression caught Chi Yang's eye, and the Guardian Supreme was instantly enraged, "What do you mean by this expression?"
No intent to engage with you, yet you seek provocation? Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "Someone indeed was wielding words just now."
"You!" Chi Yang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He didn't believe that he was merely wielding words just moments ago. Though he stood at the door, the oppression he exerted was fake?
Now the other's words made... even explaining, a bit demanding. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
However, since explaining was troublesome, he decided to ignore it, "I guess I still don't know who you are."
Qu Jianlei looked at Qinghu, "This is your place, so I won't speak further."
But I also don't know your identity! Qinghu muttered in her heart.
But to someone as aloof as her, this wasn't difficult to handle. She looked at Chi Yang and spoke coolly, "State your purpose."
I really don't want to talk to you! The Guardian Supreme was truly vexed inside, thinking that just by acting aloof, she could say whatever she wanted?
I can act aloof too. He glanced at the two A-levels beside him, "You guys from the Anomalous Management Division... speak for yourselves."
An older A-level spoke up, "Master Qinghu, we noticed an abnormal energy appearing on Half-Star Island."
Qinghu waved her hand and spoke indifferently, "I'm aware of that. Say something useful."
The older A-level looked at her in shock, "Are you sure you're aware?"
"Is that strange?" Qinghu asked dismissively, "Whether it's the Mist Mansion or the Maiden Star Realm, I've been there many times."
"But this... it's different," he became anxious as well.
"It's not just that kind of abnormal energy; there are also some... some inexplicable energies."
Qinghu looked at him silently, paused, and then spoke, "Inexplicable, so why are you telling me this?"
The older A-level took a deep breath, "We have related records, but due to confidentiality clauses, we can only invite you to view them."
Qinghu slightly shook her head, "Since you can't show them to me, I won't look."
What the other party said might be true, but in her current lofty position, she didn't want to be constrained by anything else.
She indeed liked research, but if it required the price of her freedom, then she refused.
Moreover, it could be a trap designed by the Anomalous Management Division to ensnare her; that possibility was high.
The Imperial Government had pulled off similar moves countless times — there's really no bottom line when it comes to governmental exploitation.
The older A-level blinked twice at her words; he also understood that some departments didn't have a very good reputation.
But this time, we really weren't planning to set you up!
He felt a bit aggrieved, unable to help but add, "By doing this, you might be choosing to become an enemy of the Empire."
Upon hearing this, Qinghu looked at him without speaking, finally shook her head after a long while, "This is truly disappointing!"
You really misunderstood! The older A-level hurriedly explained, "At that time, the lightning was not just electromagnetic power... I've already spilled the beans!"
"So what?" Qinghu looked at him coolly, "Your understanding of supreme abilities is still far off!"
"But..." The older A-level felt like crying, as there were things he really couldn't say.
Yuanyuan observed for a long time before finally speaking out, "Have you ever witnessed a supreme's sound wave attack before?"
That didn't seem like a sound wave attack! The older A-level had suspicions, but saying so now... would anyone listen?
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't hold back, "Then tell me, what charges are you planning to pin on me?"
The older A-level remained silent, but the younger one couldn't endure anymore.
"Please, honorable one, enlighten us; you possess the Gold Attribute, so why would there be an abnormal, targeted electromagnetic attack?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then raised his hand to form a technique, and a lightning bolt as thick as a pinky descended from the sky.
Then he withdrew his hand, standing there silently without saying a word.
Chi Yang's eyes instantly widened, mouth slightly agape, "This..."
Yuanyuan couldn't help but speak, though she only dared to address the two A-levels.
"You know about attribute convergence, but have you heard of attribute unity? Don't make wild guesses if you don't understand!"
"Hmph," Qinghu snorted coldly, her face written with "I am speechless."
This one electromagnetic attack wasn't strong, somewhere between C-level and B-level, but isn't this quite normal?
The two A-levels exchanged a glance and fell silent, as this had already gone beyond their range of understanding.
It's not that there weren't any questions left, quite the opposite, there were now even more questions.
However, the two also understood very well that they couldn't ask anymore; they didn't have the qualifications — explanations had already been given.
It was Chi Yang who muttered in a low voice, "Electromagnetic attribute... how can it unify so easily?"
He knew about attribute unity and was aware that Qinghu had similar achievements, but he also understood the difficulty of unifying the electromagnetic attribute!
Qinghu just glanced at him indifferently, "Yes, it's difficult for you."
I really want to rip your mouth apart! Chi Yang glared at her fiercely but kept silent.
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but add a stab.
"Yuanyuan is an A-level, wearing the Ion Purification Armor; many of the highest with the Fire Attribute... haven't figured it out either, right?"
This was akin to pointing at a monk and mocking him for being bald — truly insufferable.
Without another word, Chi Yang turned around and left. The two supremes and the one A-level in front of him were all freaking monsters!
Yuanyuan's identity had long been thoroughly investigated, and others knew what she excelled at too.
He truly wanted to highlight that the difficulty of attribute unity was significant, as was mimicking a Primordial Warrior.
But infuriatingly, these three in front of him, each and every one, were exactly these kinds of freaks!
The trio seemed to be mocking him together: it's not that we're too strong, it's that you're too weak!
