Chapter 548: Chapter 319: Arrival and Test Operation_2

The price he paid was something ordinary people could hardly bear.

Now, ninety percent of Rhein’s body tissue have been replaced with machinery.

The silver-white armor he wore was adhered to his skin and flesh, making it impossible to remove.

These modifications continually stimulate Rhein’s brain nerves every second, causing Rhein, who has no biological tissues, to endure phantom limb-like pain.

This torment is something Rhein can never escape and can only passively endure.

That’s why he appeared so angry earlier.

In the face of long-term mental torment, even the most resolute person would find it hard to stay sane all the time.

Rhein’s armor is equipped with a large number of drugs.

Once Rhein’s body experiences abnormalities, these drugs would be quickly injected to ensure his stable condition.

At this moment.

It’s the drug injection that calmed Rhein’s mood.

As negative emotions gradually faded.

He, like Or, was also curious about the mysterious figure mentioned by Li Wuji.

Rhein looked around.

His agate-like eyes vaguely glossed over.

The mechanical devices inside his body started automatically, continually reading the data of all objects within his field of vision.

Suddenly.

Looking at the distant sky.

He let out a light huh.

The other two seemed to have noticed something too, and turned their heads in the same direction at the same time.

At the end of their sight.

A beam of purple light suddenly lit up, and was coming in their direction.

Rhein and Or looked at Li Wuji simultaneously.

Seeing his calm expression, they instantly revealed an understanding look.

With one breath.

The thunder light was in front of him.

The next second.

The world, originally woven with ice-blue and pure white, instantly bloomed with thunder light.

Thunder fell from the sky.

A figure appeared consequently.

The newcomer was Chen Sheng.

“He’s here.”

Li Wuji said with a smile.

“Hmm.”

Chen Sheng nodded lightly in response.

Boom–

Only at this moment.

Did thunder sound overhead.

Chen Sheng’s appearance did not cause much of a stir,

Those who were brought here for this mission surely wouldn’t be so inexperienced.

The surrounding transcendent people only took a glance, confirmed he was not an enemy, then lowered their heads to work again.

Only Li Wuji and his two companions cast their gaze at Chen Sheng with different intentions.

“Let me introduce.”

Li Wuji took the lead.

“This is the Church Knight of the Xilia Empire, Or.”

“This is the warrior of the Char Federation, Rhein.”

“The operation will be carried out by the three of us together.”

Upon hearing this.

Chen Sheng was slightly confused.

In his view, these two people were pitifully weak.

What’s the point of following him?

But this thought only lasted a moment, and Chen Sheng already figured it out.

These two each represent a country.

The result of this experimental operation is crucial, affecting the subsequent research on Heavenly People by all parties.

They certainly would not let the Martial Arts Association conduct it alone.

“Chen Sheng, under the Martial Arts Association, disciple of the Eagle Body Sect.”

Thinking this,

Chen Sheng introduced himself, along with the identity registered in the Martial Arts Association.

Huh?

The Eagle Body Sect?

Upon hearing this.

Or looked puzzled.

During the international conference, he had many exchanges with the members of the Martial Arts Association.

But he has never heard of this sect.

Moreover, this man named Chen Sheng is only a disciple of this sect?

Could it be…. is this Eagle Body Sect the strongest sect within the Martial Arts Association?

The members are either rare martial arts geniuses or old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, and usually live sequestered in the mountains, immersed in diligent cultivation.

They didn’t come out of the mountains until a crisis like this arrived?

For a moment.

A host of thoughts ran through Or’s mind.

Chen Sheng, who did not seem like a strong person, gradually became the closed-door disciple of a big shot in his mind.

“Alright, let’s not chat.”

“The number of people involved in this operation has been decided in advance.”

“The data observed will be made public, you don’t need to worry.”

During Or’s contemplation.

Li Wuji gently clapped his hands.

The crisp sound traveled far in the empty snowfield.

Some of the transcendent people closer to the deep pit turned their gazes as well.

Then,

They saw Li Wuji make a gesture.

The moment they saw this gesture.

Those around reacted quickly.

Ding–

Each of the black cylinders planted in the snow lit up with a halo.

At the same time, the scientific researchers nearby responsible for checking data also quickly packed up their equipment and, with the help of the surrounding transcendent people, moved away from the area.

Below the deep pit.

Was the latest discovered Heavenly Person Sealed Land.

It also happened to be one of the few Sealed Lands with low energy response and remote location.

The goal of this operation was to delve into it to find the Heavenly Person and collect important data.

All kinds of situations are bound to happen during this period.

The worst scenario could even be the awakening of the sleeping Heavenly People.

If a battle were to occur between them, the consequences would undoubtedly be extremely serious.

Therefore,

These transcendents, whose strength wasn’t exactly potent, as well as the ordinary scientific researchers, needed to leave in advance and reach a safe place, monitoring data remotely through electronic devices.

“Speaking of which.”

“Why didn’t you think about investigating earlier?”

“During the Tide Rising Period, the energy in the Heavenly Person’s body isn’t high, isn’t that a better time for investigation?”

Now, the exploration equipment had been installed completely.

Waiting for everyone to complete required two to three minutes.

During this period, Or kept stealing glances at Chen Sheng from the corner of his eye, his face occasionally revealing a look as if he’s up to something.
