Rui Bing looked at dojo before her. Her own combat dojo was now the largest in the entire Yi Ju zone. The students consisted of Sang Tribe members and people who joined the Yi Ju community. Rui Bing did not attempt to make the Rui Family's combat techniques secret. She was more open minded about these things after attaining Jie.
She still wore her signature white training garb. Her aura as a combat expert made her stood out from the other normal, gentle women. To the students in the dojo, she was the untouchable Goddess. The Sang Tribe felt this particularly strongly. Rui Bing's relationship with Ye Chong was no secret among the Sang Tribe members. Anyone who tried to get closer to Rui Bing would be taught an unforgettable lesson by the Sang Tribe.
The Sang Tribe members inherited Ye Chong's ruthless and cunning way of doing things. To them, the ends always justify the means. Even Sang Pu and Qiu Man did not discourage this mindset in their subordinates.
Rui Bing loved the Sang Tribe. They were a disciplined group of people. Even though they were now the only dominating power in Yi Ju Zone, they did not slack in their duties. The Sang Tribe members were like natural born warriors who were eager to absorb new knowledge. Their lives were very organized, and perhaps dry and uninteresting in the eyes of outsiders, but they enjoyed it very much. Their lack of knowledge did not allow them to control every side of Yi Ju Zone, but Rui Bing believed that given enough time, they would be the final winners.
She could feel the love and care from all the Sang Tribe members, all because of one man.
Rui Bing watched her students practicing in the dojo, sweating profusely, but her mind was elsewhere. Was her sister alright? How was her mother doing now? Where was Grandpa Qian? What about the naughty little monkey, Wei Yuan?
What about him? Where was he right now? Was he okay?
Rui Bing sighed quietly inside, though her expression betrayed none of her thoughts.
More and more students joined her dojo. The people who came to the Sang Tribe for help in the midst of disaster now realized the importance of power. The Sang Tribe was also very passionate about combat. Their combat skills came from their experience fighting against wild creatures, designed to kill in the most efficient way. However, when it came to the overall system of their combat moves and its efficiency against humans, there was still much they could learn from the Rui Family's techniques.
Class was over. All the students bid farewell to Rui Bing. After that, Rui Bing tidied up the place. Even though she was now considered by others to be of high stature, she still preferred to do these things herself.
Now, she was going to visit Aried. Now that was an interesting fellow. He won a research fund from Qiu Man, and now had his own laboratory, located close to her place. Rui Bing was not used to living with other people. Since Sang Pu and Qiu Man were getting busier and busier with all the administrative and management work, Rui Bing had found a place of her own near the dojo. Later, she got to know Aried, who became her neighbour.
Aried was a short and petite man, but he had a loud voice. "Haha, Lady Bing is here." Aried looked completely different from his earlier abject life. He now looked like a bright and sharp old man with a perpetual blush on his cheeks. He liked the polite and kind young woman, despite her deceptively cold appearance. Aried was making some headway in his experiments. He was overjoyed by this, but he did not know anyone well enough, other than his students and Rui Bing, to share the good news. Thus, he invited Rui Bing to visit his laboratory, to witness these moments that he thought would go down the history books as moments of triumph.
Standing respectfully beside Aried was his student, Sang Kan. At the moment, Sang Kan looked like an obedient and meek student, all gentle and courteous, but Rui Bing knew that all members of the Sang Tribe were powerful combatants, having lived in the Archipelago.
"Grandpa Aried, how do you do?" Rui Bing greeted Aried with a cold expression.
Aried did not mind her. He knew that she was only cold on the outside, but was in fact a warm and kind young woman on the inside.
"Ma'am," Sang Kan greeted Rui Bing, sending a blush onto her white complexion. Nevertheless, she acknowledged softly. All members of the Sang Tribe addressed her in this way.
"Haha, come in come in, we've been waiting for you. Sigh, to think that I would live to see this day! I can die happily now!" Aried sounded gratified. He had always been looked down upon because of his small stature, and became a social recluse because of this. Moreover, despite all the effort that he put into his research, people never acknowledged his work. Today, however, he had his own laboratory and incredible results to show the world. After decades of being scorned, he could finally prove himself. Hence, he felt the urge to share his victory, and thought of the one person he was currently close to – Rui Bing.
Rui Bing consoled him, "Don't worry about it. Your name will be forever etched into the hearts of the people."
Aried felt encouraged by Rui Bing's words. The thought of leaving a mark in history made him emotional.
Rui Bing and Sang Kan watched the emotional Aried and went thoughtfully quiet.
After a moment, Aried recovered himself. He blushed and said, "Well, let's get to it."
This was Rui Bing's first time in Aried'a laboratory. She felt overwhelmed by the all the complicated equipment inside.
Aried was prepared for his demonstration. All the relevant apparatus were already in position. A beautiful and complicated network of glowing blue circuits lit up the laboratory, giving it an air of mystery.
"We have built the first model capable of opening a spatial window, called the V-1. Currently, we employ spatial warp jump technologies that bring us from planet to planet, but the process is still time consuming.
"Long ago, I've began to wonder if there are simpler ways for us to overcome our limitations in space and time. That is the basis of my theories. In our universe, under specific circumstances, we can create a spatial window, like a physical window in the wall, that connects two points situated very far from each other.
"Do you remember that battle? The one with the red-tailed beasts?" Aried felt excited, seeing Rui Bing listening to him intently.
Rui Bing nodded. "I do."
"Then you must remember the black circle that continues to expand. That is a spatial window, transforming in a strange way. Before that, I always thought my theory was only just that, a theory, but when I saw that spatial window, I knew that I was right."
Aried explained. His cheeks were flushed, and his hands balled into tight fists. Rui Bing did not interrupt him. She knew that Aried needed someone to listen to his story.
"Later, when I followed the refugees to Yi Ju, I saw Officer Qiu Man's funding offer and decided to try my luck, and ended up winning the funding. It was like a dream come true. This was a hard won battle. From the first day the lab was set up, I began thinking about ways to implement my theories. Sang Kan and I tried everything, and finally came up with this machine, V-1, before you."
In the empty space at the centre of the laboratory was a machine.
On top of the rectangular base was complicated a V-shaped support structure on top, covered with many confusing photon circuits and nodes. The V-structure was nearly twice a human's average height. The rectangular base had even more photon nodes on it, blinking like the stars in the expanse of outer space.
"Alright, let's see what the V-1 can do." Aried, who was leading his audience, turned back to grin at Rui Bing. "Don't' worry, it's perfectly safe. You can go closer to have a look. We've tried this many times without issue."
Sang Kan operated the V-1 with familiar moves. The complicated photon nodes on the rectangular base did not faze him. He tapped on the photon nodes quickly, knowing exactly what to do.
The photon nodes on the V-structure began to move. As Sang Kan continued to operate the machine, the photon nodes moved faster and faster.
Zip zip zip! On the two legs of the V-structure, the blue coloured glowing dots began to converge.
Suddenly, a black circle appeared silently between the two legs of the V-structure. The circle began to expand.
Rui Bing was familiar with this view. This was exactly like the time with the red-tailed beasts.
Rui Bing felt anxious, but seeing Aried and Sang Kan looking at ease calmed her down.
Finally, the circle stopped expanding when its radius reached about two metres wide.
Aried and Sang Kan heaved a sigh of relief. They had done this many times, but never with an audience. Having Rui Bing with them made them nervous. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Sang Kan felt greatly relieved, despite what his calm appearance suggested. It would be so embarrassing if he were to screw up before Ye Chong's partner.
Aried turned to Rui Bing, pleased, like a child showing off his new toy. "What do you think? Not bad, right? I'm presenting this to Qiu Man tomorrow. We'll need time to figure out how to make out of this technology. This will lead to a paradigm shift in the spatial sciences." He added, "I'll be sure to call you over again the next time we have something new." Aried looked like a mischievous, innocent child.
He did not notice the black circle behind him suddenly expanding again, quietly.
Rui Bing noticed it first. She dashed forward and caught Aried's sleeve. Before she could pull him away, her vision turned black, and the circle swallowed her inside.
In the instant, Rui Bing lost control of herself, and felt a strange sensation unlike anything she had ever experienced.
The strange sensation did not last longer than a second. Rui Bing saw her surroundings changed instantly.
She was shocked, and turned around just in time to see the black circle behind her rapidly contracting. It happened so quickly that Rui Bing could hardly respond to it.
The black circle vanished silently in the air, leaving no traces behind.
Rui Bing stared at the empty space where the black circle once was, unable to understand what transpired.
"Ohh," Aried cried out in pain, having fallen to the ground, bringing Rui Bing back to her senses. Beside the old man, Sang Kan was studying his surroundings intently.
"Where is this place?" When Aried calmed down, Rui Bing asked without delay. Beside him, Sang Kan seemed surprised but vigilant.
"Huh, what happened?" Aried stared around him, curious. "What is this place? How did we end up here?"
Rui Bing knew immediately that Aried could not tell her more. She described what happened in detail to Aried, hoping that the information could help him.
After she finished, Aried frowned and pulled at his messy hair, muttering, "Instability? What happened? What did it go wrong …" He ignored Rui Bing's questions after that. Sang Kan quickly explained, "Ma'am, please don't expect any answers from him now. He's like that whenever he's thinking. He'll be back with us soon enough."
Rui Bing looked at Aried, absorbed in his thoughts, and decided to follow Sang Kan's advice. She began to study her surroundings. Safety was of the highest priority, now that they were in unfamiliar territory.
The purple mist all around her was very thin.
Rui Bing was taken aback by the purple mist. It reminded her of the one she saw in the battle at Yi Ju.
Sang Kan looked solemn and careful as well. He did not take part in that battle, but the Sang Tribe had been discussing it ever since it happened. He knew every detail of the battle, including the purple mist.
Nevertheless, the purple mist they were seeing here was much thinner than the one near Yi Ju.
For now, they priority was to figure out where they were.
Sang Kan carried Aried, and exchanged a look with Rui Bing. They advanced carefully. Sang Kan left a marking of the Sang Tribe where they first appeared, so that they could find their way back.
The ground was hard, and the thin purple mist reduced visibility. However, both Sang Kan and Rui Bing had sharp eyes. This was a barren wasteland that harboured no life, only rocks.
Rui Bing asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know. We've done the experiment many times before, and never once did we encounter anything like this." Sang Kan was also vexed. They talked as they advanced quickly. Both had strong legs and could move quickly. Aried did not notice himself being carried by Sang Kan. He looked like he was in a trance, oblivious to his surroundings as he continued muttering to himself.
Sang Kan was obviously used to situations like this. They seemed to be moving quickly, but were in fact still holding back power in case of emergencies, allowing them enough time to react.
…
Ye Chong had been careful, but they still ended up in a situation.
They encountered a pack of gold-striped black dragons. These creatures were very similar to the silver-striped black dragons, except in their skin colours.
The gold-striped black dragons were quick. They noticed Ye Chong and his fleet from a distance with their sharp senses.
"There are 62 of them! Be careful!" Ye Chong's loud cry initiated the battle.
The students panicked a little from the sudden encounter. A moment earlier, they were still enjoying the scenery in Darkniss. However, their harsh training kicked in quickly. All the mechs raised their laser guns and fired. Ye Chong frowned. Blindly shooting at the enemy was hardly effective.
Nevertheless, a few of the gold-striped black dragons were hit. They cried out in agony and fell from the sky. The rest of the pack flapped their wings and picked up speed. This change of pace surprised the students. Their shooting rhythm was thus disrupted.
Ye Chong understood immediately that he must bring the gold-striped black dragons under control, or the students will suffer heavy casualties.
From the first few moments of the battle, Ye Chong discerned that these gold-striped black dragons were much stronger than the silver-striped black dragons. The 314 mechs had only shot down five of the creatures and wounded another eight. If Shang were here, he would have laughed out loud at their achievement.
The dragons were quick, and moved unpredictably in the sky. Unless they were hit somewhere vulnerable, the creatures could still fight. They were obviously powerful creatures.
Creatures like these were the hardest to deal with.

In our universe, under specific circumstances, we can create a spatial window, like a physical window in the wall, that connects two points situated very far from each other."Do you remember that battle? The one with the red-tailed beasts?" Aried felt excited, seeing Rui Bing listening to him intently.Rui Bing nodded. "I do.""Then you must remember the black circle that continues to expand. That is a spatial window, transforming in a strange way. Before that, I always thought my theory was only just that, a theory, but when I saw that spatial window, I knew that I was right."Aried explained. His cheeks were flushed, and his hands balled into tight fists. Rui Bing did not interrupt him. She knew that Aried needed someone to listen to his story."Later, when I followed the refugees to Yi Ju, I saw Officer Qiu Man's funding offer and decided to try my luck, and ended up winning the funding. It was like a dream come true. This was a hard won battle. From the first day the lab was set up, I began thinking about ways to implement my theories. Sang Kan and I tried everything, and finally came up with this machine, V-1, before you."In the empty space at the centre of the laboratory was a machine.On top of the rectangular base was complicated a V-shaped support structure on top, covered with many confusing photon circuits and nodes. The V-structure was nearly twice a human's average height. The rectangular base had even more photon nodes on it, blinking like the stars in the expanse of outer space."Alright, let's see what the V-1 can do." Aried, who was leading his audience, turned back to grin at Rui Bing. "Don't' worry, it's perfectly safe. You can go closer to have a look. We've tried this many times without issue."Sang Kan operated the V-1 with familiar moves. The complicated photon nodes on the rectangular base did not faze him. He tapped on the photon nodes quickly, knowing exactly what to do.The photon nodes on the V-structure began to move. As Sang Kan continued to operate the machine, the photon nodes moved faster and faster.Zip zip zip! On the two legs of the V-structure, the blue coloured glowing dots began to converge.Suddenly, a black circle appeared silently between the two legs of the V-structure. The circle began to expand.Rui Bing was familiar with this view. This was exactly like the time with the red-tailed beasts.Rui Bing felt anxious, but seeing Aried and Sang Kan looking at ease calmed her down.Finally, the circle stopped expanding when its radius reached about two metres wide.Aried and Sang Kan heaved a sigh of relief. They had done this many times, but never with an audience. Having Rui Bing with them made them nervous. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Sang Kan felt greatly relieved, despite what his calm appearance suggested. It would be so embarrassing if he were to screw up before Ye Chong's partner.Aried turned to Rui Bing, pleased, like a child showing off his new toy. "What do you think? Not bad, right? I'm presenting this to Qiu Man tomorrow. We'll need time to figure out how to make out of this technology. This will lead to a paradigm shift in the spatial sciences." He added, "I'll be sure to call you over again the next time we have something new." Aried looked like a mischievous, innocent child.He did not notice the black circle behind him suddenly expanding again, quietly.Rui Bing noticed it first. She dashed forward and caught Aried's sleeve. Before she could pull him away, her vision turned black, and the circle swallowed her inside.In the instant, Rui Bing lost control of herself, and felt a strange sensation unlike anything she had ever experienced.The strange sensation did not last longer than a second. Rui Bing saw her surroundings changed instantly.She was shocked, and turned around just in time to see the black circle behind her rapidly contracting. It happened so quickly that Rui Bing could hardly respond to it.The black circle vanished silently in the air, leaving no traces behind.Rui Bing stared at the empty space where the black circle once was, unable to understand what transpired."Ohh," Aried cried out in pain, having fallen to the ground, bringing Rui Bing back to her senses. Beside the old man, Sang Kan was studying his surroundings intently."Where is this place?" When Aried calmed down, Rui Bing asked without delay. Beside him, Sang Kan seemed surprised but vigilant."Huh, what happened?" Aried stared around him, curious. "What is this place? How did we end up here?"Rui Bing knew immediately that Aried could not tell her more. She described what happened in detail to Aried, hoping that the information could help him.After she finished, Aried frowned and pulled at his messy hair, muttering, "Instability? What happened? What did it go wrong " He ignored Rui Bing's questions after that. Sang Kan quickly explained, "Ma'am, please don't expect any answers from him now. He's like that whenever he's thinking. He'll be back with us soon enough."Rui Bing looked at Aried, absorbed in his thoughts, and decided to follow Sang Kan's advice. She began to study her surroundings. Safety was of the highest priority, now that they were in unfamiliar territory.The purple mist all around her was very thin.Rui Bing was taken aback by the purple mist. It reminded her of the one she saw in the battle at Yi Ju.Sang Kan looked solemn and careful as well. He did not take part in that battle, but the Sang Tribe had been discussing it ever since it happened. He knew every detail of the battle, including the purple mist.Nevertheless, the purple mist they were seeing here was much thinner than the one near Yi Ju.For now, they priority was to figure out where they were.Sang Kan carried Aried, and exchanged a look with Rui Bing. They advanced carefully. Sang Kan left a marking of the Sang Tribe where they first appeared, so that they could find their way back.The ground was hard, and the thin purple mist reduced visibility. However, both Sang Kan and Rui Bing had sharp eyes. This was a barren wasteland that harboured no life, only rocks.Rui Bing asked, "What happened?""I don't know. We've done the experiment many times before, and never once did we encounter anything like this." Sang Kan was also vexed. They talked as they advanced quickly. Both had strong legs and could move quickly. Aried did not notice himself being carried by Sang Kan. He looked like he was in a trance, oblivious to his surroundings as he continued muttering to himself.Sang Kan was obviously used to situations like this. They seemed to be moving quickly, but were in fact still holding back power in case of emergencies, allowing them enough time to react.Ye Chong had been careful, but they still ended up in a situation.They encountered a pack of gold-striped black dragons. These creatures were very similar to the silver-striped black dragons, except in their skin colours.The gold-striped black dragons were quick. They noticed Ye Chong and his fleet from a distance with their sharp senses."There are 62 of them! Be careful!" Ye Chong's loud cry initiated the battle.The students panicked a little from the sudden encounter. A moment earlier, they were still enjoying the scenery in Darkniss. However, their harsh training kicked in quickly. All the mechs raised their laser guns and fired. Ye Chong frowned. Blindly shooting at the enemy was hardly effective.Nevertheless, a few of the gold-striped black dragons were hit. They cried out in agony and fell from the sky. The rest of the pack flapped their wings and picked up speed. This change of pace surprised the students. Their shooting rhythm was thus disrupted.Ye Chong understood immediately that he must bring the gold-striped black dragons under control, or the students will suffer heavy casualties.From the first few moments of the battle, Ye Chong discerned that these gold-striped black dragons were much stronger than the silver-striped black dragons. The 314 mechs had only shot down five of the creatures and wounded another eight. If Shang were here, he would have laughed out loud at their achievement.The dragons were quick, and moved unpredictably in the sky. Unless they were hit somewhere vulnerable, the creatures could still fight. They were obviously powerful creatures.Creatures like these were the hardest to deal with.Dear readers,Legend of the Super Soldier has been included in the premium program.
