Opening Ceremony
The walls and floor of the training room were all equipped with a sturdy metal sandwich, and the surface was also equipped with a thick soundproof panel. The people inside would not be disturbed by the outside environment, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in training.
Xia Fei was completely relaxed as he sat in the training room, cultivating the Beast Spirit Codex.
The Beast Spirit Codex consisted of ocular techniques and telepathy. Ocular techniques used a specific method to optimize or even recombine the genes of the eyes to improve one's vision.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Fei slowly opened his eyes. On the surface, Xia Fei's eyes did not look any different from usual, except that his gaze was much sharper.
However, this gaze was very strange, as if it contained some kind of information that would make people tremble in fear. It was like a cold pool of water, deep and bottomless. Any light would be attracted to this strange pool of water, unable to escape.
Xia Fei used this seemingly normal yet strange gaze to scan his surroundings. He then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. By the time he opened his eyes again, everything had returned to normal.
How is it? Phantom, who was lying on the side, stretched and asked.
Xia Fei's face was brimming with excitement as he nodded. Yes, I've broken through the second stage of the Beast Spirit Codex. Soon, I'll be able to enter the third stage of training and learn telepathy.
The first two stages of the Beast Spirit Codex only included ocular techniques, and the more powerful telepathy could only be learned at the third stage. Now that Xia Fei had grasped the first two stages, though he still could not communicate with exotic beasts, he could already use ocular techniques to observe the Beast Spirit Fire in the bodies of exotic beasts.
Through observing the Beast Spirit Fire, he could determine the rank of an exotic beast, whether it was sick, or how it was feeling. Furthermore, when encountering a medium or large exotic beast, he could rely on ocular techniques to force them to retreat, preventing them from being attacked.
Very good. The Beast Spirit Codex is a star-tier secret manual, and it's very difficult to cultivate it. Being able to break through to the second stage in three months is already a very good progress, Phantom said in satisfaction.
Xia Fei's seventh brain region had been fully opened by that lethal bottle of gene optimization fluid. Though it was a close call and he had nearly lost his life, losing the opportunity to advance his special ability, from then on, the advantages of having a fully opened seventh brain region began to show.
However, from then on, the advantages of having a fully opened seventh brain region began to show. Be it cultivation, learning, or even Xia Fei's intuition and judgment, he was far superior to the average person.
This was the so-called opportunity. Xia Fei's talent was actually not that high, and those who were truly talented could completely open their seventh brain region by cultivating the ancient Astral Art. Only those with extremely poor talent would require the help of gene optimization fluid.
In the highly developed outer planets, people would only consume the gene optimization fluid as a last resort. This was because while consuming this fluid could open up the seventh brain region, due to the stimulation of the gene optimization fluid, it would be very hard for one's cultivation to improve further, and one would be stuck at the ranks of beginner ability users for the rest of their lives.
Though Xia Fei's fortuitous encounters were great, the risks he had taken and the effort he had put in for it could not be ignored. Fortuitous encounters, diligence, and perseverance were the main reasons why Xia Fei was where he was today.
The green light in the training room suddenly lit up, indicating that someone was pressing the doorbell. The training room required absolute silence, so there were only two indicator lights. One was the doorbell, and the other was the phone.
Looking at the time, it was four in the morning. Xia Fei got up and walked out of the training room, puzzled. Who could it be at this time?
When he opened the door, he saw Moon Song looking at him excitedly. Behind her were Beihai, Manjun, and Chen Dong.
Moon Song was wearing a sky-blue dress, and she looked even more gorgeous than she did during the day. Beihai was wearing loose pajamas, and he was leaning against Manjun in a daze. The two of them kept yawning, and their eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.
Chen Dong was only wearing a pair of shorts. Though he was not as sleepy as Beihai and Manjun, he still looked very sleepy. He sighed helplessly and shrugged.
Moon Song pushed Xia Fei aside and said to the three outside, Hurry up and come in. I have something important to discuss with you all.
The three innocent victims staggered into the room and sat on Xia Fei's sofa. Beihai was hugging Chen Dong's arm, while Manjun had his furry leg on Beihai's chest. It was quite a lively scene.
Miss Moon Song, why can't we talk about it in the day? It's bedtime, and my head is about to explode, Manjun said unhappily.
Moon Song chuckled. Absolutely not. This is a battle plan that I spent more than ten hours coming up with. All of you sit down. Xia Fei, you should sit down too.
Xia Fei sighed. He could not do anything about Moon Song's nonsense. He walked over to the drinks dispenser and got himself a cup of coffee before sitting down next to Chen Dong.
Moon Song turned on her computer in a flurry, pulling up a document and displaying it on the screen.
She took out a cucumber from her pocket and pointed at the screen. Have a look. This is the participant list for this year's extreme hovercar race, as well as the characteristics of each team.
What's different about this year's race is that the training camp has invited a professional racing team to compete with us. Have you all heard of the Twin Dragons racing team? They've won the Star Region Extreme Hovercar Championship five times in a row. Their strength is the best in the entire star region, Moon Song said proudly. She had put in a lot of effort for this race.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. Twin Dragons is just a highlight of the race. It won't affect who will be the champion. Even if we can't beat them and get second place, all the rewards will still count, so we can ignore them.
Moon Song glared at Xia Fei. Xia Fei, are you the one talking right now or am I?
Xia Fei took a sip of coffee and leaned back on the sofa as he softly said, You better be the one talking.
Beihai and Manjun very quickly fell asleep. Moon Song walked over and pinched their thighs a couple of times. Be serious; we're discussing our battle plan. Dont sleep! Dont sleep!
Beihai and Manjun cried out, sitting up in a hurry, not daring to go back to sleep, though their eyelids were still fighting.
Just as Xia Fei said, we can ignore the Twin Dragons racing team, but we mustn't ignore the other two competitors, Moon Song continued.
With a tap of her finger, a bearded man and a young man with curly hair appeared on the screen. The bearded man is called Nie Wei, the best racer in the mechatronics division. The curly-haired man is called Karl, the best assembler in the mechatronics division. With the two of them at the core, team 73 will be our main competitors this time.
Xia Fei shook his head. "Brother Moon Song, can't you make it simpler? Just tell me about your plans and arrangements."
Moon Song crossed her arms and looked at Xia Fei with a cold expression. Why do you always interrupt others when they're talking? This is the information I've gathered after working all night. If you're so impatient, why don't you come up and tell us yourself?
Xia Fei thought for a moment and smiled. That's fine too.
With that, Xia Fei really stood up and walked over to the screen, while Moon Song retreated to the side with a skeptical look.
Ill only need five minutes, Xia Fei said. Xia Fei said, "Let me tell you something first. The betting company has offered several different odds for this tournament, and we're ranked first in the odds for withdrawing from the tournament and first in the odds for getting into an accident."
In other words, the betting company thinks that there's a huge problem with our racing hovercar, and there's a high chance that we won't be able to finish the race.
Xia Fei began with a rather interesting interlude, and it was far more effective than Moon Song's intimidation tactic. Everyone was very curious, and Beihai and Manjun were also excited, rubbing their eyes as they listened to Xia Feis every word.
Moon Song found it hard to believe. She thought that she had done a very detailed investigation, yet she was shocked when Xia Fei opened his mouth. The information on the betting company was not within the scope of her investigation.
Could Xia Fei have already made arrangements? Moon Song thought to herself.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. His finger tapped on the screen a few times, bringing up the pictures and information of the five teams.
There's a total of five relatively strong teams, and three of them are from the mechatronics division. They're team 21, team 73, and team 149. These three teams basically don't have any weaknesses. They've been working together for many years and are very familiar with each other.
Our racing hovercars are better than theirs in terms of performance, and that's our advantage. Their advantage lies in their experience, familiarity with the race schedule and environment, and familiarity with each other.
That's why we can only deal with them through trickery and not brute force. As long as we can make use of the advantage of our racing hovercars' acceleration, we can easily overtake them in one fell swoop. As for how we'll deal with their group battle, Ill talk about that later.
"Apart from that, we also need to pay special attention to the number 201 team, which is White Night's team. The betting company outside the race has opened the bets, and White Night's odds are unbelievably low. It's very likely that the betting company has received insider information and believes that White Night has a high chance of winning."
This is a completely unfamiliar opponent. It's our first time participating in this race. We don't understand them, and they don't understand us, either. We can only rely on improvisation to deal with him.
The overall standard of team 33 from the vanguard division isn't bad, but they lack a good driver, so they pose the least threat, Xia Fei said.
Moon Song bit her lip angrily. The truth could not be any more obvious. Xia Fei had already made the necessary preparations before Moon Song did, and he was even more meticulous and thorough than her.
There are forty teams from the mechatronics division taking part in this race, so they'll surely work together to suppress the other teams. That's the biggest problem we'll face right now. If that happens, we'll need the driver to improvise, and the peripheral members will accurately report the race situation, so that everyone can work together.
Next, I'll assign everyone's tasks, Xia Fei said in a deep voice. This race track is 1,355 kilometers long and has a total of three levels. Though there's a surveillance system inside the racing hovercar that can monitor the race track, it's impossible for the driver to focus on such a long track while driving at high speeds, so we'll need three observers to report the race situation on each level in real time.
Beihai, you'll be in charge of reporting the race situation on the first level. Manjun, you'll be in charge of reporting the race situation on the second level. Chen Dong, you'll be in charge of the most important third level. That's where the one hundred and twenty-eight consecutive hairpin turns are. It's the most difficult part of the entire race, so you must keep a close eye on it at all times, Xia Fei said.
North Sea, Manjun, and Chen Dong nodded.
I'll take care of the racing hovercar and driving. You guys just need to do your part. I'll give each of you a copy of the race track's details. I've already marked all the important spots on it, and there's also a guide for emergency situations. Just follow the guide in case of an emergency. You guys can go back and take a look.
Xia Fei was like a commander assigning tasks. Every detail was within Xia Fei's consideration, and the tasks he assigned to everyone were clear and precise. He even gave them special tips for different responsibilities.
Actually, Xia Fei had already completed all the preparations long before Moon Song arrived. He had originally planned to assign them to everyone the next day, but after Moon Song had caused such a ruckus today, Xia Fei might as well use this opportunity to give them some instructions.
Moon Song secretly observed Xia Fei. Not only did she not dislike him, she was even more impressed by Xia Fei's serious attitude.
Xia Fei had used his actions to establish his position as the leader of this group of five. What role a person should play in a group was not something that could be determined through words but through actions.
The racing hovercar was not Xia Fei's idea, but when the team encountered difficulties, Xia Fei single-handedly shouldered the responsibility of assembling, gathering information, formulating strategies, and assigning members.
Everyone saw this and admired him, so no one objected when Xia Fei assigned tasks as a leader. Xia Fei's ability and serious attitude were there for all to see, and everyone was well aware of it.
Xia Fei tossed the cigarette butt into the ashtray after assigning the tasks. Alright, it's the opening ceremony tomorrow. Lets head back and get some sleep.
It's that simple? Moon Song, who had been standing there foolishly all this while, suddenly pouted and asked, Theyve all got their tasks, so what should I do?
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. This time, he really had not considered Moon Song. Though this young lady was very passionate, Xia Fei still felt a little uneasy about leaving everything to her.
Xia Fei suddenly had an idea and said in a serious tone, Moon Song, your job is very important. You need to provide Chen Dong and the others with tea and food, ensuring that theyre not in a state of hunger and thirst.
Moon Song nodded and said excitedly, Yes, Ill definitely get it done.
Halfway through her sentence, Moon Song suddenly realized something. She put her hands on her hips and angrily said, Alright, Xia Fei, you actually want this lady to run errands?
The opening ceremony of Heaven Execution Training Camp was held in an auditorium that could hold a hundred thousand people.
Xia Fei changed into the training camp's uniform and went to the auditorium with Chen Dong and the others.
In Xia Fei's memory, the ceremony was nothing more than a few leaders going up to the podium and saying a bunch of boring nonsense, followed by a few representatives from Upwards Ho!, saying some nonsense that they themselves could not believe.
Fortunately, the cadets were more experienced, and almost everyone had a microcomputer. They adjusted the screen to its smallest setting, sitting in their seats and secretly fiddling with it to pass the time.
What was even sadder was that there were barely any good-looking cadets among the ten thousand or so cadets. The few women with good facial features were still surrounding Bai Ye.
Actually, Moon Song was quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she was still angry at being assigned to serve tea and did not pay much attention to Xia Fei. Moreover, Xia Fei had no interest in doing anything with a lesbian.
After some time, Ye Jingshan finally brought a few people up to the podium.
Xia Fei's heart suddenly tightened. He squinted his eyes as his mind raced.
Beside Ye Jingshan were the supervisors of the various camps, as well as three other people whom Xia Fei was very familiar with.
Xiao Haili, Queiroz, Bosingwa, and the gorgeous Team 13 were all present.
Xia Fei had been suspicious of Xiao Haili during the crisis grade assessment because of what had happened with Xiao Yong, and now, he had bumped into him again.
