Rumble... Crash...

The light shield suddenly shattered, along with the bizarre, incredulous expression on its face...

Bang! A wave of roaring air erupted between the two, and a whirling hurricane instantly surged forth, spreading to every visible material in its path... Even the sand worm corpse thousands of meters away was swept far beyond anyone's imagination—a seemingly ordinary attack with unfathomable destruction.

Staring at the spot where the bizarre entity vanished, Feng Yi's expression showed no relief. He knew clearly that defeating such a foe wasn't going to be so simple.

As expected by Feng Yi, the bizarre entity's shattered body instantly reformed, returning to its original state. It stared at him calmly, standing right before him.

"Hehehehe, you truly live up to your reputation, Feng Yi. This battle is truly amusing."

"Maybe." Feng Yi smiled faintly.

"But you still have no chance of winning."

"Have I not said? Don't speak too soon. Your tone is quite confident."

"Really?" The bizarre entity seemed almost rhetorical, and replied, "You should know better than anyone that my energy remained virtually unchanged from that clash, while your aura has diminished slightly. You won't outlast me. At least not in your current state. Don't you find that pitiful?"

Feng Yi shrugged. "Pitiful or not, as long as I act in accordance with my conscience and do my utmost, there will be no regrets in life."

"I see... A good answer. Let's continue."

——

On the other side of the battlefield, the shuttle was flying at low altitude and full speed, racing toward the bizarre entity in the Heavy Magnetic Field Area...

Suddenly, the C device emitted a high-energy alarm report. According to system simulation, the energy impact was equivalent to a Level 17 Super Storm—terrifyingly powerful. Though far removed, the coordinates from that alert instantly altered everyone's expressions.

But their shock wasn't merely because of the energy itself. What is an energy impact? It's just wind—big, massive wind. While wind may seem common in daily life, clearly such high-grade energy storms are rare, especially something as deadly as a Level 17 Super Storm.

What truly stunned them, of course, wasn't the wind itself but the location where it had formed. That area happened to coincide with the exact spot Feng Yi, Roland, and Mengdie sensed the aura.

Why had the energy storm formed there? Why on earth was it happening?

It needs to be understood that the bizarre entity had already developed intelligence—indicating that it would never waste energy arbitrarily. To trigger such a colossal amount of power, other than the entity itself, it's inconceivable to imagine what else on this planet could cause such chaos.

Human technology could easily achieve such grand impacts, but this particular location? Even the world's nations had chosen to avoid it cautiously. It was impossible for anyone right now to secretly test the bizarre entity, especially during such critical times.

The nations understood too well the bizarre entity's nature: it was essentially a creature designed to absorb energy. Moreover, ordinary people would struggle to even reach this place alive. Even if someone miraculously arrived, returning home alive would be highly unlikely. And even if they managed to return, their biological codes would collapse under the entity's unique magnetic field—triggering mutations, breakdowns, and systemic death.

In other words, there was basically no chance this catastrophe stemmed from an external secret experiment. Globally, there was no way for even a First-Order warrior to cause such havoc.

No, not even above First-Order. Not even Advanced warriors could create this mountainous, destructive super storm, as the hurricane's energy fluctuations were simply too intense!

The truth was unavoidable: aside from Feng Yi, Roland, and Mengdie at the scene, no one else could unleash such power. If there were to be one more possibility, it would undoubtedly be Kexiao.

Yes, if he were still alive, such devastation would be within his reach. While Kexiao never fought directly against Feng Yi, it was due to unusual circumstances and their mutual alliance aboard the same metaphorical "war chariot." Should Kexiao still live, perhaps they might spar one day.

But Kexiao was already dead, killed during an operation on the 103rd Colonial Planet in another dimension. His corpse had been retrieved and placed into cryogenic storage.

Though they considered notifying Saudi, time was too strained for such matters under the present conditions.

The decision not to contact Saudi boiled down to two main reasons:

First: Kexiao held extraordinary status in Saudi as a contemporary military legend. His significance rivaled even Roland's. Aside from Roland, the combined influence of everyone aboard the shuttle still paled compared to Kexiao alone.

Second: Revealing the truth to Saudi would risk an unpredictable fallout.

The Saudi authorities would certainly reject any conclusions presented. From their perspective, Kexiao's condition could never be accepted without irrefutable proof. They would exhaust every measure to locate him dead or alive, escalating to a "find the man if alive, retrieve the corpse if dead" level of pursuit. Such complications were inevitable.

Despite Blade Warrior possessing significant authority, and Feng Yi representing considerable wealth within the federation, neither held influence close to Kexiao's rank in Saudi.

But, Kexiao was dead! No one else in this world could possess such raw strength—enough to generate storms with mere physical power.

Granted, in terms of individual brilliance, there were others who might exceed Feng Yi or Kexiao—such as Mengdie. Mengdie's advantage lay in speed, but that speed wasn't peerless among them. Her "speed" referred to agility, flexibility, coordination, and reflexes—not raw explosive velocity.

In contrast, while Mengdie was faster than Kexiao, faster than Feng Yi, and arguably on par with Roland, her strength and pure destructive capabilities were significantly inferior to the latter two. Even Blade Warrior could outmatch Mengdie in sheer power, let alone cause such large-scale commotion.

Those capable of triggering such massive phenomena must be assessed beyond basic strength, encompassing the attacker's four-dimensional attributes holistically.

Simply put, even if you were a brute with immense physical might, swinging punches recklessly wouldn't inflict this level of destruction. Effective hits required concentrated energy, coupled with minimal post-impact power dissipation. Think of it akin to a biological body's magnetic field: no matter how strong the field was, its leakage would drastically reduce the damage inflicted upon the bizarre entity.

Thus, mere physical blows weren't enough. Skillful attackers must synchronize mental power, physical coordination, explosive momentum, and other conditions—all rising concurrently. Individuals like Mengdie, specializing in arcane techniques, followed unconventional routes entirely.

Take Zhang Xiaobo, for example.

He was once just a regular soldier—an ordinary footman. Although capable in brawls, he wouldn't necessarily match up against a well-built, bulky opponent in direct combat.

But eventually, how did he earn the title of Special Red Cloak? His advancement wasn't limited to linear progress—it was his simultaneous enhancement across all attributes. Zhang Xiaobo's nerve reactions quickened, observatory skills sharpened, and strength resistance improved. His grasping of opportunities continually optimized, transforming him into a distinguished combat expert among special forces. Even his piloting prowess matured silently over time, crescendoing with accumulated experience. Finally, he became a super pilot, adept enough to rival those at White Cloak levels in raw skill.

As Feng Yi once said, "There are no shortcuts on the path of diligence. Be you a fitness coach or martial artist, daily practice isn't about excelling in a single area but improving holistically across all aspects of the body."

Hence, the group instantly concluded that anyone causing such grand commotion should be recognizable—if not visually, then certainly by reputation.

Yet, none came to mind. Even among potential candidates, those barely fit to achieve something like this might include figures such as Borgheide's Soaring Sword Dragon. During his peak or near-peak, he might generate similar effects, though the resulting devastation would certainly fall short.
