Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 439 - 311: Huh?

The time for the final assault has actually been set, but only a few A-level members of the Pioneer Team know about this news.

Now, Baldy has made the last announcement, meaning all units are ready.

Those who should be ambushed are already in position, and those responsible for launching the attack have also entered their battle stations.

"Finally informed," Pan Yifu picked up the handset, "I’ll let Black Heaven know."

After receiving the notification, Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised and calmly responded.

"Thanks, huh, notifying me half an hour early, seems like I’m quite important."

"Stop with the sarcasm," Old Pan, in critical moments, is quite responsible and mercilessly scolds Black Heaven.

He knows deeply that there’s no room for dawdling on the battlefield, so he goes straight to the point.

"You’re still inside, right? Five minutes after the attack starts, take out all the electronic equipment on the west side, and we’ll charge."

The "we" he’s referring to is the surprise trio, unrelated to the Pioneer Team’s main force.

The surprise trio actually has four people, but that’s not important—shouldn’t the "Four Heavenly Kings" be five people?

The fourth member of the trio responded steadily, "At thirty-five minutes, right? No problem."

For Qu Jianlei, paralyzing the electronic equipment on the west side... isn’t too difficult, given he’s A-level.

However, if he wants to continue hiding after the act, some planning is necessary.

Half an hour later, mild disturbances appeared around the core area, and soon, everything became brightly lit.

At the moment the lights came on, intense gunfire sounded, as Pioneer Team members tried to disable the searchlights.

However, the efficiency in destroying them wasn’t high. It’s not that the Pioneer Team lacks Divine Shooters, but the searchlights have enhanced protection.

Qu Jianlei previously aimed at searchlights, usually hitting one with a single shot, but those were ordinary tempered or bulletproof glass.

Now, these are the war-level searchlights, not the low-grade glass anymore, but reinforced glass able to withstand interstellar travel.

Glass is just one aspect, there are other defense measures too.

Some searchlights have additional protection, while others are hidden, directly shining onto smooth metal panels, illuminating through refraction.

The Pioneer Team members weren’t surprised, patiently continued removing stubborn obstacles, familiar with the opponent due to prior skirmishes.

The Pioneer Team’s cannons weren’t just aimed at searchlights, some shells were smoke bombs.

Soon after, the Star Thieves’ counterattack began. As the defending side, their firepower was stronger and more concentrated.

Yet the next moment, the entire core area descended into chaos, with various techniques shining brightly, one after another.

Obviously, some Superpower Warriors had already rushed into the core area, starting to create chaos.

The entire core area instantly stirred, with sounds of fighting and screaming rising and falling.

The Pioneers didn’t bring many people, but all were B-level warriors, experienced in battle.

There’s a saying, "Destruction is easier than construction," They focused on causing destruction, even though the Star Thieves were well-prepared, they struggled to cope.

Some set fires everywhere, others specifically targeted people; it didn’t take long for the entire core area to plunge into chaos.

Some Star Thieves’ patrol squads attempted to maintain order but quickly became targets for the Pioneer Team’s experts.

These experts wouldn’t engage in prolonged battles, usually striking quickly and leaving promptly, sometimes with a single blow.

Their goal was to disrupt the opponent’s order, preventing the Star Thieves from swiftly organizing effective counterattacks, excellently embodying guerrilla warfare tactics.

Many Star Thieves were a bit surprised at their fearless tactics, "At this rate, the whole core area will be destroyed!"

"Yeah, this core area was built by the Pioneer Team, why destroy their own hard work?"

"Nonsense, it’s all ours now. Since it can’t be kept, isn’t destroying it quite normal?"

Qu Jianlei enjoyed this chaotic scene; besides the uproars everywhere, energy elements were also in turmoil.

Generally speaking, as long as he’s not attacking openly, his clandestine moves would be much safer.

He had quietly arrived at the west side, first cloaking himself in Golden Armor, then launching a Flaming Meteor heavily onto a power hub.

Pan Yifu, watching outside, flinched, "Is this an A-level Fire Attribute from the Star Thieves? Which one could it be?"

He really didn’t know, is there such a figure among the Star Thieves? The power of this Flaming Meteor could rival his own.

However, maybe it’s an A-level from the second squad; the details about masters in various squads are heavily guarded by the Star Thieves.

Pan Yifu, although fairly informed, was not sure about the experts from the second squad.

Yet, he was more curious, "Using Flaming Meteor in their own place, do they not want this city anymore?"

Qu Jianlei, after launching a Flaming Meteor, realized it didn’t breach the power hub’s Protective Shield.

"So, this is the war-level offense and defense?" he mumbled to himself.

Although a bit disappointed, at the same time, he felt a bit pleased.

All along, he had been curious, is the Superpower Warrior in this world really the Supreme?

As the name suggests, Supreme should be the peak, but according to the Cultivation System, the highest would barely be Golden Core, right?

He’s already in Foundation Establishment, young as he is, achieving Golden Core is just the next step; he doesn’t doubt he’s capable of achieving it. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But after the Golden Core, there was no path, which was quite frustrating.

He’s always been pondering if there’s anything higher than Supreme, and even asked a bunch of people.

Yet the answers he found were disappointing: nobody had heard of a realm beyond the Supreme.

Until this moment, he realized that even an A-level Flaming Meteor couldn’t break the defense of a power hub, which suddenly made it clear.

The status and position of a Superpower Warrior in the Imperial realm are quite honorable, and the cost of training them is extremely high.

If Supreme is indeed the ultimate peak, then A-level is undeniably the top combat power.

So how could such a top-tier combat power fail to break the defense of a small power hub? What does it imply?

It not only highlights the brutality of warfare but also raises a problem: can Supreme break through the defense of a city?

Just a random guess: Maybe it can, maybe it can’t, or perhaps it also depends on the personal combat power of the Supreme...

Then the next question is: Can a Supreme break the defense of a planet?

Most likely it’s impossible; not even one Supreme, and probably not even three to five Supremes combined.

However, Qu Jianlei learned from journals and books that a space fleet of a similar scale could break through planetary defense.

A Division Level fleet might not suffice, but generally, a Division Level fleet would do.

So the final question arises, if the Supreme is the pinnacle Superpower Warrior, why does the Imperial invest so heavily in their cultivation?

If it’s solely for combat, building more space fleets would solve everything, wouldn’t it?

Of course, compared to large-scale war weapons, individual combat power cannot be ignored.

Yet, the Imperial’s investment in training Superpower Warriors is massive.

Take the Gathering Area on Garbage Star as an example; survivors in the Gathering Area are not counted as individuals, and the genetic modification of Central City residents is extensively carried out.

Qu Jianlei now realized that such significant investment couldn’t just aim to produce a few Supremes for the Imperial to be satisfied.

Therefore, it’s highly possible that there’s an even higher realm beyond Supreme, though his status isn’t qualified to know.

While thinking this, his hands didn’t stop, and his figure flickered, as he unleashed two Thunder Dragons.

Two wrist-thick lightning bolts tore through the night sky and directly hit the power center.

A dazzling arc flashed by, sparks scattered, and the power center emitted a loud "boom," finally ceasing operation.

Most areas in the west instantly plunged into darkness at lightning speed.

Sparks still wandered over the power center, sizzling, and gradually, small flames appeared.

The air carried a faint grassy smell, the scent of ozone.

Qu Jianlei’s body shot out like lightning, as the two Thunder Dragons had roughly exposed his position.

But that was the only way, as he had already observed the power hub beforehand, knowing about the grounding devices.

In terms of Electromagnetic Technique, his most powerful single attack was Thunder Strike and Thunder Dragon.

The Thunder Strike Skill wouldn’t reveal his position but descends from the sky, making grounding devices quite effective.

Thunder Dragon’s attack would face less interference from grounding devices, but the key is... he still needs to break the power center’s own defenses.

So, wanting to quickly cause effective damage, exposing one’s position is inevitable.

"Black Heaven!" someone shouted, "Kill him!"

Two figures quickly approached, they were two B-level Star Thieves.

From afar, other Star Thieves heard the name and decisively abandoned their opponents, turning to join the chase.

In pre-battle meetings, Star Thieves estimated that unanimously, Black Heaven was the most dangerous person below A-level.

This person killed the seventh leader, participated in massacres in two military stations, and accrued such grudges; some A-levels didn’t match his danger level.

Hence, on the Star Thieves’ list, Black Heaven was a must-kill target, ranking very high.

Qu Jianlei utilized the Wind Attribute Body Technique to swiftly escape their pursuit.

However, B-level Star Thieves from all directions were still rushing over.

Even though most of the western region’s power was out, he was still quite conspicuous, even with his highly elusive movements.

A Star Thief’s Mecha also arrived, not aiming for him, but rather to extinguish the fire in the power center and perform timely repairs.

Qu Jianlei’s eyes darted, raising his hand again to execute a Finger Technique, "Flaming Meteor~"

Yet another fireball descended from the sky, precisely striking the power hub.

With the defenses gone, the building instantly shattered into pieces, igniting a blazing flame.

Qu Jianlei didn’t believe anyone would continue attempts to salvage it after such an impact.

However, this Flaming Meteor not only stunned the Star Thieves’ Mecha but also halted the B-level Star Thieves rushing over, "Pan Yifu?"

Pan Yifu’s breakthrough from the docks through layers of encirclement left a deep impression on the Star Thieves.

Recent bloodshed incidents were closely linked to this person... crucially, this person was an A-level!

At this moment, Pan Yifu, accompanied by Spirit Fox and Fangcao, crept in under the cover of darkness and was dumbfounded by the scene, "Huh?"
