Chapter 182: [181] Improvements Beyond Predecessors

For this "Clearing the Illusory Insects" mission, each battle group sent a vice school lieutenant to lead the team.

The person in charge of the Second Battle Group is none other than Tiefeng.

He heard from the school lieutenant that Cheng Han was on the mission list and had also comprehended the characteristics of the Wood Element Profound Art. This made him smile from ear to ear.

Isn't this an easy credit?

Tiefeng also heard that Cheng Han was currently comprehending the Qingyan Symbol Seal, so he planned to visit the Beigu Valley and listen to the brilliant young genius's insights on the mission.

By the way, he also wanted to inquire about Cheng Han's needs.

After all, geniuses are busy comprehending, and although he couldn't help, he could at least prepare some logistical work!

Tiefeng hurried to the Qingfu Tower, completed the registration, and walked to the outside of the Qingyan Beigu Valley. It was only then that he noticed something unusual.

He saw that the path leading to the Beigu Valley was covered with a layer of fresh green grass.

Tiefeng was taken aback and looked puzzled. "When did the path to the Qingyan Beigu Valley get covered with grass? It's not even withered in winter."

The vice school lieutenant remembered very clearly that he had visited this valley a few years ago, and at that time, this path was paved with cobblestones, just like other Beigu Valleys.

Tiefeng stepped on the soft grass and walked for a while, only to discover another anomaly.

He saw a vine wall erected at the corner ahead, blocking the path to the Beigu Valley tightly.

Tiefeng looked at the vine wall and then lowered his head to look at the grass. He finally realized, "Could this be something Cheng Han created using the characteristics of the Wood Element Profound Art?"

It's very possible!

This guy squatted down to study the grass and pulled it hard a few times. He clicked his tongue and said, "The grass stems and leaves are so tough that they can't be easily broken. They have already shown practicality."

"This kid entered the valley, and in just three hours, he has reached this level?"

One of the characteristics of the Qingyan Symbol Seal is that the plants it stimulates have the effect of being "as strong as iron and as flexible as silk," making them very versatile.

Just imagine, in a battle, if a large bunch of grass suddenly grows and entangles the enemy's limbs, wouldn't it be easy to defeat them?

And such a powerful symbol seal naturally makes every soldier want to comprehend it.

Unfortunately, starting from the fourth symbol seal, the difficulty of comprehension for each symbol seal is very high.

Currently, there are no more than forty soldiers in the entire Black Armor Army who have comprehended the Qingyan Symbol Seal.

Each comprehender has obtained the qualification of a senior team leader.

Tiefeng sighed, "Truly a once-in-a-century genius."

Originally, he didn't quite believe that Cheng Han could comprehend the Qingyan Symbol Seal in just one day.

But the scene before him completely changed the vice school lieutenant's mind.

After Tiefeng left, this big-mouthed guy spread the news about the changes in the Beigu Valley.

Soon enough, wave after wave of visitors came, attracted by the fame.

On one hand, these people came specifically to see something rare, and on the other hand, they wanted to try their luck, in case they stumbled upon an opportunity.

The first two soldiers of the first wave discovered something different.

The ground's grass was blooming with pale yellow flowers, turning it into a flower carpet.

The next two batches of people also made their own discoveries.

The second batch saw a crimson flower carpet.

The third batch saw a blue-purple flower carpet, woven into exquisite patterns.

The most crucial thing is that these three groups of people left one after another, and within such a short period of time, the flower carpets underwent obvious changes.

This truly amazed people.

In the next hour, every group of people saw different patterns on the carpet.

This strange phenomenon quickly reached the ears of Mu Qiushan.

Curious, Mu Qiushan brought his wife over to take a look at the carpet at the valley entrance.

Mu Qiushan was stunned after just one glance.

The wife of the officer, on the other hand, exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

Mu Qiushan patted his wife's shoulder and reminded her, "Take another look."

The officer's wife was amazed, "How did the carpet turn white?"

Mu Qiushan sighed, "Those guys were all fooled by Cheng Han. This kid has too many tricks up his sleeve."

The officer's wife was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qiushan explained, "Actually, these flowers have always been white. It's just that different people see different colors."

The officer's wife seemed to understand, "Illusion?"

Mu Qiushan shook his head, "It's not an illusion, you can understand it as a kind of mental suggestion."

The officer's wife asked, puzzled, "Is it powerful?"

Mu Qiushan nodded, "Very powerful!"

He thought for a moment and explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, "Let me put it this way, the techniques this kid uses carry a hint of 'wish'."

"This carpet has a special power. It knows what color you want to see and influences your mind to make you see that color."

The officer's wife finally understood and exclaimed, "Amazing!"

Mu Qiushan concluded, "This kid's understanding is not just understanding, he is making innovative improvements."

"In the two hundred years since the establishment of the Beigu Valley, there have been many warriors who have understood the Qingyan symbols, but Cheng Han is the first to combine the symbols with this kind of mental power!"

Mu Qiushan sighed, "This is a breakthrough beyond the predecessors! Remarkable!"

The officer's wife sincerely said, "He truly is a genius!"

Mu Qiushan's words quickly spread.

Those who had previously seen the carpet were all speechless.

This made Cheng Han's understanding even more remarkable.

Unfortunately, no one could go and observe anymore.

Because Mu Qiushan left the officer's emblem at the Qingfu Tower and explicitly instructed, "Tell those fools to let the genius focus on understanding and not disturb him anymore."

The next day.

Half past nine.

There was only half an hour left before the cleaning team set off.

Cheng Han walked out of the Beigu Valley with a delicate flower basket in hand.

Tiefeng stood at the Qingfu Tower and, upon seeing his figure, breathed a sigh of relief, "You finally came out. I was about to break in and find you."

This guy asked with anticipation, "Did you successfully understand the Qingyan symbols?"

Cheng Han said in a matter-of-fact tone, "What's so difficult about that?"

He turned his head and looked at a stone wall in the hall, snapping his fingers.

"Snap!"

The stone wall trembled slightly, and an illusory waterfall of flowers flowed on its surface.

This was the sign of successful symbol condensation.

The staff at the Qingfu Tower congratulated him in unison.

"Congratulations, Soldier Cheng!"

"Congratulations to Sergeant Cheng Jun for breaking the record again!"

Although Tiefeng had anticipated it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Too fast!"

The vice lieutenant couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how long it took to comprehend the Qingyan symbol? I..."

Cheng Han interrupted him, saying, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. In any case, no one is faster than me."

Tiefeng was taken aback.

The staff members all laughed.

Cheng Han urged, "Let's go, the mission is about to start."

Only then did Tiefeng leave the Qingfu Tower.

After a few steps, he looked at Cheng Han's flower basket and curiously asked, "What is this for?"

Cheng Han evasively replied, "It's a good thing."

Tiefeng muttered, "Mysterious," and closed his mouth.

Half an hour later.

The 150 soldiers lined up and entered the underground of the Black Castle, climbing down several long vertical shafts to reach an open cave.

"Hoo~ Hoo~"

Warm wind blew from a distance.

Mixed within was a strange aura.

This was the main vein of the Lingye, leading to the handle of the Lingye.

By the light of the gray crystal lamp, Cheng Han could see that the top, walls, and floor of the cave were all covered in strange wood textures.

"Let's go!"

The vice lieutenant of the First Battalion shouted.

Everyone mounted their bicycles and pedaled forward with all their might.

This ride was a full fifty kilometers.

Soon after, a solid iron gate appeared ahead, guarded by two squads of Black Army soldiers.

Cheng Han immediately understood that beyond the gate was the handle of the Lingye.

After a simple procedure, the iron gate was opened.

"Squeak~"

A completely different world appeared before everyone's eyes.

This was a highly complex world.

Countless spiral-shaped, thick wooden structures, with a diameter of over ten meters, crisscrossed within.

There were densely distributed caves of various sizes.

Various nocturnal plants were scattered throughout the caves, serving as the only source of light.

In such an environment, finding virtual insects was obviously a headache.

In fact, this was the biggest trouble in eradicating virtual insects.

The vice lieutenant of the First Battalion shouted again, "Start the operation by battalion!"

Cheng Han suddenly coughed and said, "Everyone, I have a suggestion."

Everyone's gaze immediately gathered on him.

Tiefeng looked at him with a hint of doubt.

Why did you wait until now to make a suggestion?

Cheng Han said loudly, "When Captain Mu informed me of this mission, he wanted me to lead the Second Battalion and surpass the other battalions in the mission."

Tiefeng's face changed.

Why would you say that? Can you openly talk about this kind of thing?

Others began to stir.

Cheng Han continued, "Actually, I personally think Captain Mu's idea is too narrow-minded."

Tiefeng was impressed.

You're really something, badmouthing the captain in front of so many people.

But this vice lieutenant knew that even if Captain Mu heard about this, he wouldn't do anything to Cheng Han.

That's the privilege of a genius!

Cheng Han's next sentence revealed his true intention, "I would rather lead everyone to sweep through the handle of the Lingye as quickly as possible."

He paused and his tone became arrogant, "Since we're comparing, why not help the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm surpass the other small spirit realms? That would be interesting."

The group of people had different expressions.

But no one spoke.

Cheng Han smiled and said, "As you all know, virtual insects have their own protective colors. It is often difficult to distinguish them without getting close enough, which is the biggest danger in hunting virtual insects."

He took out a green seed from the flower basket and continued, "When I comprehended the symbol yesterday, I developed a method that can quickly and conveniently search for virtual insects."

"Poof!"

The seed was crushed.

Countless invisible dust particles suddenly scattered in the wind, spreading throughout the passage.

"Snap!"

Cheng Han snapped his fingers again.

Then, a strange scene appeared.

The world in everyone's eyes suddenly changed.

The previously highly complex environment became indistinguishable, making it difficult to locate the passages.

At this moment, each passage inexplicably turned pale yellow, while the other parts turned pale white.

In comparison, the passages became extremely clear, almost instantly recognizable.

The group of soldiers were all stunned.

This magical method was beyond everyone's imagination.

And the benefits were obvious.

Even a fool could see them.

Cheng Han laughed, "By the way, with my little trick, I can also make virtual insects appear in a very conspicuous red color."

He added, "Of course, if you want virtual insects to appear in other colors, just imagine it in your mind. I call it 'heart follows color'."

Everyone was shocked by this.

If what he said was true, the efficiency of hunting virtual insects would increase by more than just double.

It would be more than five times!

The safety would also greatly improve.

Cheng Han smiled and asked, "How about it? Are you interested in joining me?"
