..... "What exactly is Great Han up to?" "Is this some secret technique from the second circle? But those enlarged monsters from the second circle were originally massive in their prototype forms. Yet Lu Ding is human... this..." They couldn't comprehend it. White Eagle simply couldn't understand. A White Eagle powerhouse who had been standing nearby suddenly spoke up: "Could this be one of the things Great Han has been hiding?" "Now they've revealed one, but what if they actually have an entire group hidden away?" The scientist in a white lab coat widened his eyes in shock, his terror palpable: "If that's the case... if that's truly the case..." For a moment, he was speechless. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he watched the data on screen skyrocket - 10%, 20%, 30%... 120%... 150%... Seeing these numbers, the man staggered back several steps. "We're finished. If what you're saying is true, then Great Han's evolutionary progress and current combat capabilities are several times greater than ours..." Hearing this, even the White Eagle general who had suggested the idea was startled. He quickly backtracked: "This was just speculation, don't take it seriously." The man in the lab coat grabbed the general's collar: "Then go verify it immediately!!" "No matter the cost or sacrifice, I need confirmation! Detailed data!!" "I need to know whether this is a unique phenomenon or something replicable!!" The general, stunned by the outburst, nodded hastily: "Okay okay, I'll go right away." As he stepped out of the research facility, he leaned against the wall to collect his thoughts. "Can't sacrifice our own people... We have no blood feud with Great Han... But that Tai Island and Wei Gao have always been at odds with them... Maybe... hehehe..." White Eagle's relationship with Great Han was... complicated. They were rivals, yet had also assisted each other before. White Eagle feared Great Han losing this conflict would cause their international status to plummet. Yet they also feared Great Han winning would make them the world leader. Neither outcome was ideal. If Great Han's international standing changed, how would they continue their good cop/bad cop routine? Truly, they feared Great Han suffering hardships, yet also feared Great Han riding in luxury. After considering Great Han's national character and Lu Ding's personality from the files, the White Eagle general suddenly had an epiphany. Returning to his room, he retrieved two phones from his safe. The first sent a message: [Focus all efforts against Great Han's Lu Ding] The second sent: [They're targeting Lu Ding] Done!!! Standing up, the man rubbed his chin: "My god, I'm a genius!" ..... Meanwhile, at the frontlines. The arriving group of demonic cultivators and Lingshun 749 had taken over the rotation of battlefield personnel. When they heard the first battle had already concluded with Lu Ding dominating the field and achieving total victory with minimal casualties... Deputy Director Ji and the unorthodox cultivators felt like the sky had fallen. What... They hadn't been delayed that long... How could it already be over??? Was Lu Ding really that fast??? The unorthodox cultivators surveyed the blood-soaked battlefield with pained expressions. "What a waste... these are all premium materials... just left to sink..." One fished an arm from the sea: "Damn these slow legs of mine! Such excellent materials would make my puppets so much stronger!" Upon closer inspection: "This is an arm from a Si Ming realm cultivator!!!" "Look at these bones, this blood, this flesh - such waste!!!" "When's the next battle? Does anyone know when the next fight will be?" Hearing their laments, Lu Ding landed before Deputy Director Ji with Yan Feifan in tow. "Director Ji, you've arrived?" Lu Ding greeted. Looking at Lu Ding, Deputy Director Ji hesitated before sighing: "Ah..." What could he say? Complain that Lu Ding was too efficient? But this was just how Lu Ding operated. He knew that. They'd simply arrived too late. No one to blame but themselves. Forcing a smile, he said: "We're here to relieve you. Lingshun takes over tomorrow." As he spoke, Lu Ding noticed the regret in Deputy Director Ji's eyes. Glancing at the island in the distance - tomorrow's target - then at their own exposed position on the stormy open sea, Lu Ding thought: Damn it, why should we endure wind and waves while they camp comfortably on an island? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Let's be reasonable here. If Tai Island could set up blockade formations in advance, wasn't it only fair for him to launch a night raid on their island? A proper quid pro quo? Perfect timing too - Lingshun had arrived. Working together to seize an enemy stronghold would be a fine achievement. Once this idea took root in Lu Ding's mind, it spread like wildfire. He was never one to hesitate between thought and action. This was unacceptable!! Pulling out his phone to request authorization from command, he was preempted by a message from Qiu Fu: [Qiu Fu: Lu Ding, return immediately. We have unfavorable news concerning you] "Unfavorable news?" Was Tai Island or Wei Gao sending assassins after him?! Glancing at the enemy island, Lu Ding became even more determined to seize this opportunity. Return?! Absolutely not! That would be a waste of time. In the time it took to go back and forth, he could be in their faces delivering a crushing blow! Speed was key to achieving the unexpected. Before whatever "unfavorable" situation Qiu Fu mentioned materialized, he'd take this island first as a stronghold. Lu Ding understood his importance to the battlefield below. If this "unfavorable" development truly affected him, capturing this island now would prevent unnecessary bloodshed later. Secure first, investigate later - fortify the position to preserve their gains. This war wouldn't end in a day or two anyway. With 6,000-plus funds still in his account, he could upgrade immediately. Whatever unfavorable situation arose, he'd smash through it after powering up. The delay would only allow his Blood Frost to accumulate more energy for the Way of Jinche. By then, even a Heavenly Perception cultivator wouldn't scare him! Hah! I've grown stronger again - bet you didn't see that coming!!! At this thought, a mischievous grin spread across Lu Ding's face.
