Chapter 1264 - 1124: Doubt

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1124: Doubt

The plan for identifying enemy and ally magic hadn’t actually been given much thought before.

It’s like the saying "bullets have no eyes," people considered it a normal thing.

However, Granny Jia asked, "Is this a means to enhance micro-operation ability?"

This was the most normal reaction, since there’s a chance of friendly fire, of course, improving aim is important.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "No, take a look, it’s to enhance attack immunity."

Everyone looked at the plan and roughly agreed with the idea, but to see if it could be smoothly executed, it would still need actual practice.

The next day was spent performing various magical techniques.

Their operations alarmed members of the Gustine Clan, who specifically asked what was happening.

Government officials also came to join in and warned that using magic on a habitable star should ideally be reported in advance.

However, the Gustine’s butler retorted directly: Nobles in their fiefdoms can do whatever they like.

As long as it doesn’t affect others, you have no right to interfere.

By the end of the day, they concluded with various issues that still needed refinement.

Among them, Zi Jiu Immortal raised an issue: if someone happens to pick up the identification array tags, what then?

As awakened ones, they definitely don’t want their magic to be immune to strangers.

Qu Jianlei felt a headache coming on, "Take it one step at a time, improvements also need a process."

His focus was still on addressing the weak magic immunity effect—it was effective but not significant.

As for the issue of losing the identification tag, that would be considered in the next phase.

But thinking about how these portable tags actually needed activation and self-destruct devices, really was something.

Just modifying this array took ten more days.

The final result was immunity to seventy to eighty percent of their own magic attacks, further improvement would be challenging.

But everyone expressed that achieving this was already basically sufficient.

Total avoidance of friendly fire was impossible, but reducing the damage to this extent was already quite good.

Anyway, given the Imperial medical level, as long as one can hold on to life, treatment wouldn’t be much of a problem.

That day, the Gustine family’s butler again took to the sky on a business starship and was intercepted by the military patrol starship.

The inspecting soldiers were courteous, not bothering Xiang Xue and Zi Jiu Immortal on board, only asking what they intended to do.

The butler replied firmly yet politely, this is our right, you have no authority to inquire.

The other side wasn’t angered and asked what was up with the recent magical activities.

The Gustine family had been experimenting with magic recently, though not at high intensity, but continuous for over ten days... a bit unusual.

The butler continued to state: the family earned their nobility through battle merits, experimenting with magic is perfectly normal, don’t attempt to encroach on our rights!

The words were quite frank, highlighting the military’s attempt to infiltrate the management of their fiefdoms bit by bit.

Hearing this, the military had no comeback, leaving with a parting remark, "We mean no harm, it’s just that the Empire has been unstable lately."

The business starship docked with a cargo starship five million kilometers away.

On the cargo starship, a tall and slender Supreme, accompanied by a man and a woman, wanted to board the business starship.

Xiang Xue blocked him, "Dad, can you board the starship alone?"

The Supreme was precisely Mu Guang, his status sensitive, thus reluctant to descend directly from the star port.

He paused, glanced at the two A-level followers, a bit annoyed, "These are my assistants, I didn’t bring more people."

A Supreme traveling with just two people was already very low-key.

Xiang Xue shook her head, "Dad, indeed this is a very confidential matter, they can come down, but important areas mustn’t be intruded upon."

The female A-level rolled her eyes helplessly, clearly somewhat unimpressed.

But with the Supreme in front and his daughter speaking, she couldn’t speak out wantonly.

"You’ve indeed progressed quite a bit," Mu Guang nodded expressionlessly, "Alright then, I’ll follow your arrangements."

He wasn’t angry with his daughter, as parents everywhere are the same, he too hoped for his child to achieve something.

Their exchanges were relatively plain because Imperial people are accustomed to letting their children grow independently,

Even when Xiang Xue joined a mysterious team, Mu Guang didn’t inquire.

On the way back, the father and daughter chatted happily, indeed feeling the joy of not having seen each other in years.

After the business starship landed, Flower Scorpion was already waiting at the landing point, leading the trio to their resting place.

This was a small villa within the fiefdom, located about seven or eight kilometers from the main manor where everyone lived.

Flower Scorpion politely stated, we reside in the main manor, Lord Mu Guang, after you settle down, you can head over.

Mu Guang wasn’t particularly familiar with his daughter’s current situation.

Firstly, he himself was also very busy, and secondly, because his daughter rarely contacted him, not to mention explaining these matters.

Xiang Xue knew how sensitive the information about her team was, her father had an even greater awareness of risk prevention.

Mu Guang only knew that his daughter’s team included several Supremes, and also knew that in recent years she had opened a guesthouse on Paradise Star.

But he had never been there himself; however, he had friends who visited Paradise and took a look along the way.

The conditions they saw were good of course, with the scale and level of the accommodations up to par, and most times no one to give them a hard time.

This visit, although not to Paradise Star, was at the Gustine family’s estate, which is not an ordinary place either.

Mu Guang saw a companion at his daughter’s side who was A-level, and the one greeting them was a mutated wind attribute A-level, which made him feel that his daughter was developing well.

Observing his daughter’s demeanor, he felt that being cautious is certainly correct, and it also shows respect for the host family.

However, after arriving at the manor, Mu Guang was slightly shocked: Were there actually six... oh no, seven Supreme auras?

This team seems to not have too many people, right?

Upon seeing him come, Paranoid just slightly nodded — for him, this was already quite friendly.

It was Granny Jia who greeted him, "Mu Guang, I’ve heard of your great name for a long time; I’m Jia Shuqing."

She dared to introduce herself directly, for she was certain the other party must have heard of her.

Sure enough, Mu Guang was instantly stunned, then sized up the other party with two eyes, "Jia Shuqing... aren’t you that what?"

The old lady... now she should be called a middle-aged woman, touched her forehead helplessly, "I’m not as miserable as you think."

Both were mutually aware but meeting for the first time, so they casually chatted about the mutual acquaintances they knew.

The circle of Supremes isn’t very large; the whole Imperial has just a few thousand people, so when chatting casually, it’s easy to find common topics.

After a few exchanges, Mu Guang glanced at Paranoid — he could sense this person’s cultivation level was not low.

"Which... friend is this?"

Paranoid glanced at him and then shook his head, "When I became famous, you were still a child."

Granny Jia didn’t want him to offend Mu Guang, "Ignore him, just acting old, but indeed a senior."

Mu Guang, unconcerned, smiled, though inside he was secretly surprised, able to let Jia Shuqing willingly call him senior?

He knew how popular Jia Shuqing was back then, almost without other Supremes in her eyes, not paying attention to those even in their twenties or thirties.

Jia Shuqing changing her temper, but then again, she reportedly failed to break through above Supreme and had a change in persona, so it isn’t surprising.

Mu Guang smiled as he asked, "I heard from my daughter that there’s some good matter looking for me?"

He sensed many Supreme auras, but since he had entered the Earth Scholar organization relatively early, he hadn’t encountered too many Supremes.

This Jia Shuqing, he knew relatively more, so he could only ask her.

The old lady didn’t conceal it, "Have you heard of the recent major event of the Divine Text Association?"

Mu Guang was startled, then laughed, "Are you talking about the incident of the Marvels of Heaven and Earth running away?"

Sure enough, those of the similar rank can really access similar levels of matters, and the news of the Earth Scholar organization is relatively spiritually perceptive.

At this time, Nutrient Injection came over, "We’ve set up a Five Elements Battle Array, and would like to invite you to temporarily support the wood attribute position."

Hearing this, Mu Guang was a bit surprised, looked him up and down, "Five Elements Battle Array? No wonder Xiang Xue didn’t explain carefully to me."

The forces researching the Five Elements Battle Array are indeed many, but each keeps such information strictly confidential.

However, he was still somewhat puzzled, "We are also researching... but who might you be?"

Everyone here is a Supreme; you aren’t much higher than me, so why suddenly decide to assign me here? What is this girl up to?

Xiang Xue was a bit anxious hearing that, "Dad, our battle array is much more sophisticated than you think; this is an opportunity."

Mu Guang looked at her speechlessly: What kind of introduction are you giving your dad, such a disorganized one?

Do you know to what extent we’ve researched the Five Elements Battle Array?

He decided that without a proper explanation, he’ll stay for two days and leave; this was just wasting time, wasn’t it?

Yet, Nutrient Injection calmly stated, "I’m just a nobody, but our battle array research level is very high."

"Now being able to access such knowledge is very difficult, so we simply have some requirements..."

"Hold on," Mu Guang was not pleased, directly interrupted his words, "Can you not talk to me so condescendingly?"

No Supreme temper is very good; when communicating, there’s no need to pull it here and there, just speak straightforwardly.

He is also a Supreme, and his organization is also researching the Five Elements Battle Array. While he doesn’t reject learning, he doesn’t want to learn it kneeling.

"Hello, Senior Mu Guang," a figure flashed to his side; Qinghu has arrived, "Long time no see!"

Mu Guang glanced at her, hesitantly spoke, "Who are you?"

"I’ve met you once," Qinghu responded solemnly, "Back then I was just A-level... our battle array is excellent."

"Hold on," Mu Guang rubbed his forehead, "Your earlier move... what kind of body technique is that?"

"I apologize," Qinghu shook her head apologetically, "Since you are not part of our team, that body technique can’t be shared outside."

Mu Guang paused for a moment, then regained his senses — the other party was only earth attribute, yet could master such quick body technique!

What does this imply? This team actually has something!

Not being just adept at archaeology, the Earth Scholar organization is also quite curious about new knowledge.

He looked at Nutrient Injection and straightforwardly said, "Alright, let me first hear your requirements."
