Chapter 146 - 145: Flying Sword

Chen Xuantian opened his eyes and stared at the familiar lid of the virtual cabin.

"Welcome back, Chen Xuantian. Your genes have been recombined, your body has recovered, and the current memory overlap progress is at eleven percent..."

Am I back, really not dead...

Or should I say, have I been ’reprinted’...

So now, is he Chen Xuantian, or Tie Dan, or Chen Xuantian No.11...

No, before that...

Damn, something feels off about this plot development!

This isn’t the usual storyline where you wake up after being beaten to near death, right!?

What’s the battle situation over there now? Has the biting started? Or has the trembling begun? Or has the sword been drawn already!

Damn it! I’m so curious!

Whether it’s a dream or a movie! Why does the storyline always disconnect at the most critical moment!

Could someone have secretly pulled out the network cable!?

Network admin! Network admin! Don’t go overboard!!

"Yo, Xuantian, there’s an urgent mission, wanna go together?"

Chen Xuantian looked expressionless at the principal outside the virtual cabin, his eyes turning sharp!

So it was you messing with me!

The principal was sweating,

"Hey, why are you glaring at me with such fierce eyes? Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to go on a trip with me?"

Chen Xuantian took a deep breath.

Forget it, forget it, it’s disconnected then it’s disconnected, continue next time, there’s still a chance... right?

"So what’s the mission? To throw people out the window?"

After washing up and changing into his school uniform, Chen Xuantian followed the principal onto a bulletproof jeep with completely blacked-out windows, eager to throw someone out the window with a fierce gaze.

"Nah, there’s no chance to go abroad recently, it’s just weapon testing."

The principal picked up a black briefcase from the back seat and handed a manila envelope to Chen Xuantian,

"Keep it confidential."

"Weapon testing? What’s it got to do with me..."

Chen Xuantian opened the envelope, flipped through the thick documents, and was dumbfounded after reading the first page.

Uh, seems like it might actually be related to him.

Project Group 49327, Derivative Project 01.

Flying Sword

... No way, is this a joke?

Although Chen Xuantian had vaguely guessed, through the quantum communication link to that world, it might be to steal some black technology or something... But starting with something this high-end??

No way, alchemy ruins three generations, sword casting destroys a sect!

How to solve True Qi? How to solve the materials? How to solve Divine Sense? How to solve Mana? How to solve Artifact Spirit?

You can’t just cut corners like this, right???

Chen Xuantian quickly scanned the document, ten lines at a glance, and then soon understood.

Okay, this ’Flying Sword’, from its design, is a positioning and guidance system controlled by brainwaves on a drone.

It’s essentially a simulation of the technology in the quantum communication virtual cabin, where the military made drones that can be controlled through implanted chips in the brain. It can be seen as a kind of mind control superpower, direct wherever you want it, isn’t that just the Flying Sword. But limited by current technology, the finalized product is more like a ’sword’ or a drone...

"Isn’t this just a cruise missile?"

Chen Xuantian looked at the missile mounted on the launch rack, with its wings spread it actually looked a bit like a sword...

"You know, you eat a meal bite by bite, first start with something simple, replace the existing military ballistic and positioning control system with a brainwave receiving chip developed for quantum communication.

The Flying Sword system can receive various commands issued by you to achieve timely maneuvering course changes and precise guidance.

If the technology is successful, frontline personnel can implant quantum chips in the future to guide remotely launched missiles and drones precisely to targets within vision, achieving accurate fire support."

The principal casually flipped through the project plan,

"Anyway, as the old saying goes, we don’t have much time, the international situation is getting tenser, the top hopes we’ll make visible breakthroughs soon, so let’s get one out to report back."

Oh, it’s to deal with the higher-ups, fine, they have to check if their investment wasn’t wasted, confirm whether the group of people they raised aren’t just mooching off the cafeteria meals.

"So what do I need to do now? Sword Control?"

Chen Xuantian scratched his head looking at the Flying Sword.

"Hmm, it’s your first time, don’t stress, just do whatever, first try a test launch."

The principal closed the car door, rolled up the window, and then the jeep sped off to hide inside a concrete bunker outside the test site.

Geez, is it really necessary to run that fast, it’s not like it will explode... Will it?

Chen Xuantian could only helplessly look at the missile on the launch vehicle, then at the moving target installed on the ridge in the distance.

No way, isn’t that a target for a handgun...

"...Off you go?"

The missile didn’t budge.

"Come on, Flying Sword bro?"

Even calling it Flying Sword bro didn’t get it to move.

Alright, test over, declared a failure...

Chen Xuantian turned to look, but the jeep didn’t come over to pick him up.

"Tsk..."

Chen Xuantian was speechless and flipped through the Flying Sword instructions in his hand.

To avoid electromagnetic interference, all other communications signals were isolated, ensuring that this project wasn’t just a scam for free food. So here, without communication, there’s really just the missile launch vehicle and the ’Flying Sword’.

Now everything is ready, missing only one person to make this ’sword’ ’fly’.

"Isn’t this just nonsense..."

Chen Xuantian scratched his head again, wondering whether to just carry the missile and throw it out, considering that his turbo monster power was also a project result, right?

But speaking of which, he should have some confidence.

After all, Chen Xuantian did gain superhuman strength through daydreaming, right.

Since the Turbo Technique can be used, maybe, indeed there’s some breakthrough from a different world technology that’s applied to this Flying Sword?

So Chen Xuantian carefully flipped through the instructions again.

If according to the introduction, this Flying Sword’s control circuit, indeed referenced data obtained from that world, is a simulation and replication of the Flying Sword Talisman, then...

Chen Xuantian thought, anyway, trying wouldn’t hurt, so he cleared his mind, focused intently, spread his Divine Sense, pinched the formula and silently chanted,

"Nine Heavens Qianjin, spread Divine Weapons, Evil Beaten, Supreme Evil, Majestic Sword God King, Evil Slayer, Purple Qi Ascends to Heaven, Dan Xia He Chong, Supreme Supreme, Supreme Venerable, Mysterious and Profound, Ancestor of Kaixuan, Supreme Limitless Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Ruyi Sword! Go!"

A moment of awkward silence.

Chen Xuantian speechlessly retracted his sword gesture and turned to disdainfully look at the Flying Sword,

"Damn, it’s all a scam..."

"Boom!!"

Then the mountain blew up.

As Chen Xuantian turned around, a shadow too fast to discern fell from the clouds, hitting the moving target dead on, then burst open, blowing half the mountain away, with debris scattering far away, the shockwave rolling the sand and stones, covering Chen Xuantian’s head with dust.

"Cough cough cough... Ptooey ptooey ptooey..."

Chen Xuantian spat out the dust in his mouth, turned to look at the unswerving Flying Sword.

Damn, something’s wrong here...

However, before he could figure it out, the jeep barreled through the dust, drifting in, almost throwing Chen Xuantian aside.

The principal got out and shook hands with him, pulling Chen Xuantian back into the car.

"Thanks for your help Xuantian! The test was very successful, you’ll get an extra drumstick for dinner!"

"...Is it over?"

"Of course, after all that, what more? Guess where that Flying Sword was fired from just now."

"Where?"

"That’s a secret, that’s why I said guess."

"..."

Chen Xuantian squinted at the principal.

The principal chuckled, patting him on the shoulder,

"The launch site is far away anyway, we actually prepared multiple sets of different Flying Sword systems, testing communication quality in different environments, testing your maximum Sword Control range and strategic applicability.

But who would’ve thought, it was so successful, the first test run, the ’Flying Sword’ clearly received your launch command, executed control, and completely destroyed the target!

Judging by that ’Flying Sword’s speed and shape just now, I guess it was dropped from the orbital space station. So do you know what this means?"

"...I can fly with a sword?"

Chen Xuantian fantasized about flying in the sky on a missile, couldn’t help but frown.

It’s not actually going to be like a skateboard, right...

"Haha, fly..."

However, the principal put away his smile, seriously staring into Chen Xuantian’s eyes.

"Don’t be silly, you’re now a nuclear trigger."
