After leaving Ye Chong's manor, Sun Sieha returned to the Palace in a good mood. Those who were observant could not help but speculate. In Su City, Sumen Sieha's every move was silently watched by countless pairs of eyes. Everyone was now speculating about their new, strict King, waiting to see how things would turn out. His Majesty had returned to the same place twice in three days, and each time he returned in a good mood. This made those who were observing His Majesty speculate about something else.
Those with more powerful backgrounds had already obtained information on Ye Chong and the others, including the conflict between Ye Chong and the First Army. While the details of the conflict were vague, there was still some important information: 80 soldiers were killed or injured, Du Feng was taken hostage, and there was a Level 8 shooter in the manor. These three points were enough to make the people who read the report tremble. The power of this manor had actually reached such a level!
The guarantor of the manor was also revealed - His Majesty's former steward, Ba Luomeng. This information further proved the close relationship between the mysterious owner of the manor and His Majesty.
What the nobles found the most unbelievable was the reaction of the First Legion after they suffered heavy losses.
Every nobleman in Eastern Cloud knew how arrogant the First Legion was. Their Legion Commander, Ming Xiao, had a fiery temper. Other than His Majesty, he would never speak to anyone else, and he was extremely protective of his men. However, he was the leader of the military, and had many military achievements. Both the Princes and the most powerful officials were wary of him.
But on this matter, Ming Xiao surprisingly remained silent and did not make any moves. The First Legion, which was usually incomparably arrogant and feared for the world to be in chaos, also seemed to have become a pacifist. Not a single person mentioned this matter. Even Du Feng, the person in question, did not react.
This was enough to make everyone in the know horrified. Who exactly was this person? While they did not have enough information to confirm this, they all had the same tacit understanding - the mysterious owner of the manor was not to be offended.
The mysterious manor, and the mysterious owner. Ye Chong did not know that his name had already spread among the upper echelons of Eastern Cloud. It was a silent but tacit communication.
But at this time, everyone was more focused on two other things. One was His Majesty's birthday celebration in three months, and the other was the weapon crafting competition that would be held a week after His Majesty's birthday.
There was no need to mention the importance of the first matter. The ascension of the new king was also the first opportunity for the ministers and nobles to perform. There was no need to mention the benefits of performing well, but there was also no need to mention the disadvantages of performing badly. His Majesty valued martial arts. He had just issued an order to take advantage of this opportunity to organize a national combat tournament, regardless of occupation, age, or means. The final winner would not only receive the title of Master, but would also be granted an audience with His Majesty. If they were willing to join the Eastern Cloud government, they would immediately be promoted to an official position and receive a huge sum of money that would make anyone jealous.
This caused the ministers to look at each other in dismay. Things weren't that simple. Since it was only three days away from the weapon making competition that was held every four years, the number of people in Su City would reach an astonishing new height. Not only were the weaponsmiths from the country participating in the Weapon Crafting Competition, but weaponsmiths from other countries would also come from afar. Many of them even arrived at Su City a month before the competition. For those who did not have a suitable weapon, the competition was also a large-scale weapons exhibition.
The first problem the ministers faced was security. With so many experts entering Su City, how could they ensure the safety of Su City and the safety of His Majesty? This was the first problem they had to overcome.
For some reason, His Majesty came up with the idea of organizing such a tournament. They knew very well that such a tournament would cause a stir in Eastern Cloud Country. It would be a fatal attraction to the experts among the common folk. The ministers even suspected that the city of Su would be overrun by a flood of outsiders.
However, they could not do anything about it now. His Majesty did not give them any room for discussion, and had issued an immediate order. Many of them wanted to speak up, but under His Majesty's cold gaze, they could not help but shrink back. Besides, they had no reason to speak up. It was His Majesty's birthday celebration. Dampening His Majesty's mood now would be suicidal.
At this time, the only thing they could do was to think of a solution.
Ye Chong frowned. Ever since Sun Sieha arrived, he had been deep in thought. His shooting practice had to be interrupted. He had been thinking about the matter he discussed with Sun Sieha the other day. If they succeeded, then one of the steps in his plan would be completed. This was very important to him.
However, Ye Chong did not have the confidence to do so. What a headache.
Recently, there seemed to be an increase in the number of people moving around the manor. Sha Ya expressed a considerable degree of concern about this. Ye Chong ignored them. As long as they did not enter the manor, he would let them be. However, if they tried to enter the manor, they would be carried out the next day with their bodies riddled with holes.
Ye Chong called Sha Ya and Kristen over.
Sha Ya and Kristen looked at each other in surprise. Ye Chong rarely called them to him.
"I'm going to undergo three months of isolated training. Kristen, I've taught you everything you need to learn. You just need to understand it. Remember, it's a deep understanding. I'll test you after I'm done with the isolated training. Sha Ya, you'll accompany me for the isolated training. "
Sha Ya looked surprised. Kristen nodded in acknowledgment. She would need a lot of time to understand what Ye Chong had taught her. As for Ye Chong's isolated training, she did not care. Ye Chong usually stayed in his room all day, and she rarely saw him.
In comparison, Sha Ya was even more surprised. She did not expect to be a training partner for him.
Ye Chong had arranged this isolated training with a purpose in mind. He was preparing for Eastern Cloud's national combat tournament in two months' time. Sun Sieha had visited him for this matter. He hoped that Ye Chong could participate in the national combat tournament in two months' time. Ye Chong had rejected the request immediately. To him, time was precious, and there was no need to waste it on meaningless things like this.
However, Sun Sieha had come prepared. Ye Chong could not refuse his next offer. Soon, the practical Ye Chong agreed after some consideration.
Since he had agreed, Ye Chong planned to prepare well. Ye Chong had always been thinking about how to deal with shooters, especially the more advanced ones. While he could use his body's high frequency vibrations to escape the target's parapsychic sense, it would be useless against a Level 8 shooter.
A Level 8 shooter's parapsychic sense was solid, and Ye Chong's high frequency vibrations did not affect the parapsychic sense at all.
For this isolated training, Ye Chong had built a building as his training ground. Of course, Ye Chong's so-called training ground was just a layer of wooden planks on the empty floor.
"This is your weapon." Ye Chong handed Sha Ya a small silver laser gun. It was silver in color, and had a smooth body with a simple but elegant curve. It matched Sha Ya's hands perfectly. Sha Ya liked the small laser gun the moment she saw it.
Ye Chong looked at Sha Ya, who was admiring the gun, and said, "This laser gun is only at Lux 10, so it won't harm the human body. If you want, I can modify it after the training. It should be around three million Lux. That'll be your payment. What do you think? "
"Alright!" Sha Ya agreed without hesitation, her face full of joy.
"Aside from the Lux, this laser gun is no different from other laser guns."
It felt great to the touch. Sha Ya's expression deepened as she twirled the silver laser gun around in her hands.
"You'll have to shoot at me with all your might. This laser gun can fire about five thousand laser beams at a time. You'll have to shoot at me with all your might, understand? " This was Ye Chong's plan. He could not think of a better way to deal with this problem, so he could only try to find a solution with more actual combat experience.
Back in Yedda City, when Ye Chong was negotiating with Sun Sieha, he had added a Level 8 shooter requirement. Ye Chong already had this idea. If a Level 8 shooter was considered a resource, then it would be an extremely valuable and rare resource. If it were not for Sun Sieha, Ye Chong believed that he would not be able to gain the full support of a Level 8 shooter.
However, in Ye Chong's plan, finding a way to deal with shooters was not an immediate problem. That was still on the agenda. However, Sun Sieha's visit had forced Ye Chong to bring forward his plan.
Sha Ya nodded in understanding.
The two of them moved away from each other. Ye Chong gestured to Sha Ya.
Suddenly, a strong parapsychic sense locked onto Ye Chong. Ye Chong felt it immediately. It felt like he was being watched by a snake. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
He moved! The space between his toes and the floor seemed to explode. Ye Chong shot out like an arrow. Pfft!
Pfft! Pfft! Three laser beams landed on Ye Chong's forehead, throat, and heart. Ye Chong's expression darkened. If Sha Ya was not holding the laser gun used for training, he would have died three times over.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Another six laser beams landed on Ye Chong's body. Ye Chong's expression darkened.
Kristen's life did not change much from Ye Chong's closed-door training. It was just that every time she passed by the training building, she would hear a series of explosions and collisions. Kristen had been shocked at first, but now she was used to it.
Kristen shook her head and muttered to herself, "Two lunatics. I'll leave them alone." She turned and went back to her weapon crafting workshop. Ever since she sold the patent to Master Karu, Kristen had gained a lot of confidence. Her confidence was now bolstered by her willingness to experiment. Every time she learned something new from Ye Chong, she would try to understand it through practice.
Kristen could tell that Ye Chong was not interested in studying weapons. He might be mysterious, but the knowledge he had imparted to her was real. Kristen knew that this was a valuable learning opportunity, so she dared not slack off.
As the day of His Majesty's celebration drew nearer, more and more people came to Su City. The national combat tournament that His Majesty had ordered had already spread like wildfire throughout Eastern Cloud. Perhaps the Level 8 shooters no longer needed to prove their strength through this tournament, but for the younger generation, the tournament was very attractive.
It had been many years since Eastern Cloud held a tournament of this scale. To join the Eastern Cloud government, one had to go through the military and start from the bottom. With His Majesty watching the entire tournament, there was no better opportunity for the young people who wanted to make a name for themselves.
Unlike the commotion in Su City, Ye Chong's manor was quiet.
In the training room, Sha Ya watched Ye Chong, who was trying his best to dodge the bullets. She had never thought that someone could last this long under such extreme training. She had been tired for the past few days. She never stopped firing her laser gun. She did not know how many shots she had fired. However, the number of Energy Crystals she had consumed over the past few days could already pile up into a small hill.
Nevertheless, Sha Ya gritted her teeth and persevered. Every time she saw Ye Chong trying his best to dodge the bullets, she felt renewed energy that kept her going. For two whole months, she did not rest. Every day, she locked onto her target and fired. Even her arms were sore by the end of the day. After shooting at such a high frequency for such a long period of time, her shooting had become a kind of instinct. Her shooting frequency had greatly increased compared to before. The small silver laser gun seemed to have become a part of her, and she could do whatever she wanted.
Sha Ya understood that her strength, which had stagnated for a long time, had finally increased a little.
But what about him? Sha Ya's gaze fell upon the silent, determined figure.
