952 – The Terrifying Tang Sect Warehouse
TL: BluVerse
Tang Miao rolled his eyes and said, “Is this really about me being stingy? Let’s discuss this face-to-face. The biological wars.h.i.+p is still in the experimental phase; there’s no way you could take it with you.”
Lan Xuanyu sighed, “Well, what about weapons and equipment? Surely that’s possible.”
Tang Miao looked puzzled and asked, “You already have the Thirty-Three Sky Wings wars.h.i.+p and the Skywing mechas. What more do you need?”
With an innocent expression, Lan Xuanyu replied, “Oh, just a few antimatter missiles, nothing too fancy.”
Tang Miao stared at his beautiful big eyes and said, “Why do I feel like you’re developing a violent streak? The first time you piloted a wars.h.i.+p, if I remember correctly, you used an antimatter missile. Do you even realize how terrifyingly powerful those things are? One wrong move and you’d ignite a disaster.”
He knew very well that if Lan Xuanyu asked for antimatter missiles, it wasn’t just for show—he’d actually use them!
Lan Xuanyu sighed again and said, “This is off-limits too? Hall Master, look, our entire cla.s.s belongs to Tang Sect! If we suffer any losses on the front lines, it’s a loss for Tang Sect too. No matter how important these materials are, they’re still just dead objects. People, on the other hand, are living. We’re all Shrek Academy inner court disciples…”
“Alright, enough. Come with me. I’ll get you some good stuff,” Tang Miao said, shaking his head helplessly, before turning and walking out.
In fact, Tang Sect was already aware of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings’ upcoming military service and had discussed it internally. Even if Lan Xuanyu hadn’t come today, Tang Sect would still have provided them with some high-quality equipment. As Lan Xuanyu said, talent is the most important thing. Moreover, Lan Xuanyu himself had a unique status.
To put it another way, he’s practically a second-generation G.o.d—specifically, a second-generation super-G.o.d, and the only one in the entire Federation.
If this were public knowledge, Lan Xuanyu would undoubtedly become the most sought-after individual in the Federation in no time. Given his handsome appearance, it’s not even impossible that he’d be considered a national heartthrob.
Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were not organizations that would typically favor members based on their background. However, Lan Xuanyu’s status was too special, and combined with his own talent, it was almost certain that as long as he developed normally, he would eventually rise to a high position in Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Therefore, ensuring his safety was a top priority for both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
His well-being had far-reaching implications. And once he fully matured, there was no predicting what heights he might reach. Moreover, he could influence Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, the most powerful couple in the soul master world.
Following Tang Miao, they traveled through several corridors, switched elevators multiple times, and descended into the underground world of Tang Sect.
Surrounded by metal on all sides, even with Lan Xuanyu’s spiritual power having just stepped into the Spirit Domain realm, he couldn’t perceive very far. Without a doubt, this place was equipped with devices specifically designed to block spiritual detection.
Even Tang Miao had to undergo specialized scans at certain doors and switch ident.i.ty cards several times before they could enter.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t ask any questions; he simply followed behind Tang Miao. The more stringent the security measures, the more important the things Tang Miao was about to show him.
Finally, when Tang Miao led Lan Xuanyu to a metal door, a chilling sensation crept into Lan Xuanyu’s senses.
The metal door in front of them was pitch black, and even from the outside, its immense weight was palpable. What was more terrifying was the huge, three-meter-tall red skull painted on the door, with a pair of crossed bones beneath it.
Such a menacing symbol appearing deep within the Tang Sect headquarters was truly shocking. Lan Xuanyu didn’t need to ask to know that whatever was stored behind this metal door had to be something extremely dangerous.
Tang Miao glanced back at him, then seemed to make up his mind as he nodded at Lan Xuanyu and approached the metal door. He took out a golden key from his pocket. The key was as large as a palm, engraved with intricate blood-red patterns.
With a series of clicking sounds, he inserted the golden key into a slot beneath the ma.s.sive red skull. Then, he tapped something on the soul communicator on his wrist. “Old Meng, we’re here.”
It wasn’t long before Meng Fei, the Hall Master of the Battle Hall of Tang Sect, arrived. He also held two golden keys in his hands.
“Greetings, Hall Master Meng Fei,” Lan Xuanyu quickly greeted him with respect.
Meng Fei nodded, sighing softly. “I don’t even know if bringing you here is the right decision, but the boss said you should come, so we’ve brought you here. This place stores the most dangerous weapons in Tang Sect. To enter, three keys are required. I have one, Tang Miao has one, and the last one is with the Sea G.o.d Pavilion Master. If the Sect Master were here, the key in Tang Miao’s hand would be in his possession. It takes the confirmation of three people to open this door.”
As he spoke, he slowly inserted his golden key into the door.
Lan Xuanyu was extremely curious about the weapons stored behind this door. Could their importance surpa.s.s that of the biological wars.h.i.+p? What kind of existence could it be? Without a doubt, whatever was inside was the pinnacle of Tang Sect’s technological achievements.
Just then, with a series of grinding noises, the ma.s.sive skull-engraved metal door slowly began to open to either side, revealing a pa.s.sageway lit from within.
This place was undoubtedly deep underground, yet the air inside was fresh and dry, providing a surprisingly comfortable feeling.
“Follow us,” Meng Fei said, leading the way inside.
Lan Xuanyu and Tang Miao followed behind.
The interior was entirely a metal corridor. As they walked in, Lan Xuanyu felt as though his thoughts were being restrained, unable to even penetrate the metal walls around him with his spiritual power. It was a very peculiar sensation, as if this place was a cage, holding back some ancient and terrifying beast.
Upon entering, they found themselves in a s.p.a.cious area. The air inside was fresh, clearly maintained by a specialized ventilation system. The temperature was around zero degrees, slightly chilly, with relatively dry air that still retained a suitable level of humidity.
Within this vast s.p.a.ce, there were numerous metal platforms, each spanning hundreds of square meters. On top of these platforms were transparent domes, containing various objects.
These objects emitted a dazzling array of colorful glows, creating a mesmerizing effect. However, this mesmerizing sight did not feel splendid to Lan Xuanyu. Instead, he felt a profound fear that gripped his soul, causing his body to tremble. This was a genuine fear, one he had experienced before when the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Planet attacked him. He understood that this feeling arose when facing an irresistible force, a situation where death seemed inevitable.
What were these things?
On the nearest metal platform to Lan Xuanyu, there were metal slots, each containing a metal sphere that emitted a soft yellow glow. These spheres were about the size of a human fist, with yellow light flowing inside them, resembling countless yellow threads extending inward, emitting a continuous and steady yellow glow.
There were thirty-six such metal spheres on this large platform.
On the adjacent metal platform, there were also metal slots, but the objects inside were different. They resembled wine bottles, with a conical front and a streamlined body, emitting a deep blue glow, as if carved from sapphire. This gave a very peculiar feeling.
