Chapter 1215 - Myrth: 186

Chapter 1215

(Unedited)

…

Meanwhile, in the main headquarters of the Glysko kingdom borders, a group of high-ranking officers and elite soldiers of the kingdom's army are in a meeting inside the large hall of the headquarters.

At the head of the people inside the hall is a fat yet burly-looking general with a thick dark beard and black armor on his body.

An aura of anger and depression could be felt inside the hall as silence pervades the whole area.

The general suddenly heaves a deep sigh and then looks at the people around him.

"We have lost far more soldiers and gained nothing… Your last plan was a failure…" he said in a serious tone.

"We are the ones who started using metal armors, and yet they defeated us by improving our own designs and further advancing them to a degree… I really wonder how incompetent our soldiers are compared to those bastards in the Jimal Kingdom…"

"Is our army really that incompetent? Do we not have any smithing masters and rune masters that could compete with them?" he asked.

But no one answered.

Suddenly, someone said…

"It was that kid that created those things… not their rune masters or smithing masters."

When that guy said that, everyone glared at him. Of course, they knew who made those things, they even tried to get that guy, but that little fellow is as slippery as an eel. And what is terrifying about that fellow is his way of dealing with his enemies.

They dare not want that little thing targeting their heads.

While everyone is hesitating to say something, someone from within the crowd suddenly raised his hands.

"General Sir! I… I've got some news from one of our privately hired spies…" he said with a timid tone as it seems that he is really afraid to be surrounded by high-ranking people.

"Alright, since I don't hear any suggestion here, spill it out!" the general said with a frown.

"This… Well… Our private spies told us that the Misty village has contacted Tiig town, the base of the 708 infantry battalion…" he reported.

"It seems that the Misty town is sending ten Mechas to Tiig town as General Zhang made a request for the older version of the Mechas… It was approved and 2 days from now, the Mechas would be transported to Tiig town…"

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly glowed with excitement.

How could they not feel excited? This would be a golden chance. If they can get their hands on the older models, they might find out how the Mecha works.

"Is this information reliable?" asked the fat general with a serious face.

"Yes, General, I have my men check on it, and it came out true…" the timid-looking soldier said.

"Good! Good! Hahaha… Now, this is our chance. If we let this chance go, then we can only surrender to these Jimal kingdom bastards…"

With this information, everyone is now excited. This is true, especially for the runemasters and the smithing masters. They could not wait to have their hands on a Mecha and then tear it open to see how it is able to move as such.

What truly baffled everyone in the Glysko kingdom, especially the runemasters and the smithing masters is how the metallic Mecha could do such intricate movements that seem to be just like that of a human within exerting too much Ki enemy?

It is known that when they created the Metal Armor, it took them a while to be able to make it work really well for those that are at the 10th level and above.

But the drawback of the metal armor is its weight and speed.

However, this seems to be not the concern when it comes to the mecha. And this has already made the heads of many of the runemasters in the Glysko kingdom ache.

They also knew that the other kingdoms are also eyeing that same technology that befalls the Jimal kingdom.

But no one ever dares make their move as they knew that if they do, the Ki masters of the kingdom will not stay silent.

If the Ki masters fight, then the destruction of the kingdoms is inevitable. Plus this would also anger the empire and might eradicate the kingdoms… hence no one dares move the Ki masters.

But it seems that the kingdoms have been cursed as no one has ever reached above the 16th level for a long time.

So… when a Ki adept reaches the 15th level, it would take them a long time to break through to the 16th level. And the only way for one to advance further is to go to the Gong Empire.

However, entering the empire is another story…

And so, the presence of the Mecha now becomes a deciding factor for power. Anyone that could create a Mecha army is equal to having many 10th level Ki fighters… and that would truly tip the scale of balance.

But since the kingdom that has gotten such a technology is the Jimal kingdom, no one felt alarmed.

As for the reason?...

Well, Jimal kingdom is considered the most peace-loving kingdom. They would not invade anyone's territory even though they have the advantage.

The kingdom truly loves their peaceful lives and would fight to maintain them.

And this is also the reason why the kingdom has a close relationship with the Gong Empire itself.

That's why no matter how they are attacked, they would just defend and not invade. And this has happened for thousands of years already, which is why the other kingdoms would always wage war but retreats in the end.

One such war has happened many years ago when the Jimal kingdom could still concoct pills.

This technology was not taken but instead destroyed… which made the invading kingdom of Han dejected.

…

The 5th fortress, Xin Ja's room…

Xin Ja has been sitting cross-legged for a while now and large beads of sweat are covering his forehead.

The reason for this is because he is currently underground a breakthrough.

It has been a while since he was about to break to the 4th level. And after cultivating every day after work his sphere is now like roiling lava which is about to erupt.

He gritted his teeth and around him are some of the Ki stones formed in an array.

He actually has not tried this back then, but he thinks that it would be a good way to try as he is about to break through anyway.

On his chest is the inverting pendant that his master has given him. Since his body could not absorb Ki from Ki stones, or any artifacts, he can only use the pendant to help him.

And so when the array was formed according to the pattern he has learned, he began cultivating in the middle of the array.

But what Xin Ja did not expect is the effect that the array would bring him.

He could not stop anymore at this time because if he stops, then he would surely explode.

The amount of chaotic Ki entering his body is becoming larger and the power of the many Ki stones around him is pushing him to the limits.

Suddenly, Xin Ja feels the pain all over his body when within his dantian the sphere seems to pop, then expanded.

When this happens, Xin Ja showed a faint and happy smile on his handsome face.

This is because he has finally broken through to the 4th level.

As he heaves a sigh of relief he began to relax.

With his strength breaking through to the 4th level, he feel excited as he now could do a lot of things that he is unable to do before.

With this strength, if he ever wears the exoskeleton supporter suit, then his strength would multiply and he could now exert the strength of either 6th or 9th level Ki fighter.

Well, that depends on the Ki stone used as the energy core of the suit.

While thinking to this point, Xin Ja could not help but show a faint smile on his face as his mind began to wonder about the prospect of his future.

Unknown to him, the Ki around the array is now coagulating and forming into chaotic Ki. This combination of the Ki and returning them to their chaos form was caused by Xin Ja's breaking through to the 4th level.

The suppressed energy of the breakthrough did not dispense the other energy around him and has not broken the array.

Usually, in breakthroughs, the energy would be pushed out of the body and then the sky would turn dark as heaven would feel disturbed.

And because of this, the arrays would be the first ones to be destroyed and the Ki in the area dissipated.

But this is not the case with Xin Ja. Although he was wise enough to create the array, because of his excitement, he forgot something crucial.

He is a unique existence in this world, and his breakthroughs… are concealed from the heavens.
