Ding Meng was strolling toward the east side of Green Arrow Base. According to Sileman's introduction, the east side was a no-man's land. The environment there was quiet, suitable for a person to cultivate alone.
It wasn't until he left the area controlled by the base that Ding Meng realized the importance of the base to the residents of planet KV303.
With the base as the center, energy pipes and charging facilities were installed within a fifty kilometer radius. The enormous amount of energy contained within the silver core stones could maintain the temperature and electricity in this area, but once one left this area, the further one went, the heavier the snowstorm would become, and the lower the temperature would become. Following that, the air would become even thinner.
Normal humans definitely wouldn't be able to survive in such an environment. Although Ding Meng was an Origin Ability user and could withstand the cold, when the temperature dropped to negative ninety degrees, he would still feel a slight chill. At that time, he would have to circulate his Origin Ability to resist the cold.
At extremely low temperatures, the molecules and atoms in the air would move at a correspondingly slower speed. By the same logic, the absorption and circulation of Origin Ability wouldn't be as smooth as usual. Not only would the absorption speed slow down, but it would also be extremely difficult to circulate the origin.
Only in such an environment could the benefits of the Diamond Star Fusion Technique be displayed. Not only did this smelting system store an excessive amount of Origin Ability for Ding Meng, but in this world of ice and snow, Ding Meng could also casually grab a small clump of ice and snow and circulate his Origin Ability to vaporize it. The resulting gas could be directly absorbed through the palm of his hand. After entering his body, it was reasonable to say that cold and heat would counter each other. In the past, it would be the heat source energy that would slowly devour and cancel it out. However, this time, the heat source energy guided it all the way into the small ball inside the mirror image. The pure energy within gradually transformed it into heat source energy, changing its nature.
This was what Little Rascal had described as "even air could be smelted". Of course, the energy of such a small clump of ice and snow was so weak that it could be ignored.
Next was the cultivation of martial arts. The last time he cultivated martial arts was in the outskirts of planet TT12's Yuanshan Farm. Unknowingly, another three months had passed. His Origin Ability had greatly increased, but his martial arts had practically stagnated.
In truth, Ding Meng had the greatest advantage when it came to cultivating martial arts. This was because he had Little Rascal, a hidden and invisible "cheating device". First of all, Little Rascal would record all the people who had fought with Ding Meng in the consciousness space and study them one by one afterwards. Second of all, after unlocking the second level of authority, Little Rascal's "copy" ability had become even more powerful. Not only could she copy images and data files, she could also copy databases, servers, and part of the database's information. She could even remove encrypted information.
In addition to his recent experiences, Ding Meng now had a lot of things to cultivate. In addition to the "stolen" Seven Stars Ghost Kick, "Nine Forms of Swallow Attack", "Army Boxing", "Bright Fist", and his own "Overlord's Mountain Crumbling Force", he could also practice "Transient Steps", "Afterimage", "Gale", "Phantom of the Phantom", "Flame Energy Rushing Fist", "Flame Energy Penetrating Force", "Flame Energy Empyrean Form", and other martial arts.
Although he had chopped off Long Ming's head with a single slash, the combination of "Flame Energy Fist" was still worth studying.
Star Art's light speed martial arts could also be cultivated, but they were not. After all, the essence and mysteries of light type martial arts still required specialized instructors or experts to point out the mysteries within.
Lan Bing's series of "Dark Ice Force", "Dark Ice Annihilation Palm", and "Frigid Winter Ice Dust Storm" were also quite powerful, but they were all ice type martial arts. Cultivating them conflicted too much with one's body. He could only seriously study their weaknesses to prevent himself from being taken advantage of the next time he encountered an ice type martial artist.
What Ding Meng was truly interested in were the "Solitary Sword of Zhao" and "Twelve Forms of the Sky Sword" that Instructor Zhao Yue had taught him. Unfortunately, these two martial arts were too profound, and Little Rascal's database did not contain any guidance on them. Ding Meng had to rely on himself to figure out the moves one by one …
In the darkness of the world of ice and snow, Ding Meng stood in the depths of the snow with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his right hand, which was originally hanging by his side, slightly raised. The ancient sword under his left rib was activated by his telekinesis. With a "clang", it left its scabbard, and a dazzling brilliance immediately lit up the snowy ground.
The longsword danced in the air, quickly stirring up the snow on the ground. The dark golden sword shuttled through the snow like a swimming dragon, and as graceful as a graceful swan. A huge ice boulder nearby was quickly cut into seven or eight pieces.
Ding Meng opened his eyes as the ice flew towards him at an extremely fast speed. His entire body slid forward on the snowy ground. With a "Pa" sound, "Flame Energy Rushing Fist" directly blasted the ice into countless pieces. Before the pieces could even scatter in all directions, "Flame Energy Penetrating Force" caused them to evaporate into white smoke in the air.
At this time, the ancient sword returned. Ding Meng grabbed the hilt and stabbed forward like lightning. It seemed like only one move, but five or six figures of Ding Meng appeared on the snowy ground. Like the "Afterimage" of the light speed series, the five or six figures stabbed forward at the same time. Although the sword was stabbing into the air, the airflow was even more shocking. It was like a gust of white steam that swept out.
In the blink of an eye, the clones merged into one again. Ding Meng suddenly leaped into the air at an angle. Sword shadows flashed in the air, and the figures merged and separated again.
With a "thud", the longsword fell from the sky and sank into the snow. At the same time, Ding Meng's entire body was covered by the golden diamond mirror image. His toes were on the hilt of the sword, and the whole snowy ground was dyed golden.
The mirror image suddenly vaporized, and a bubble covered his body. At this time, Ding Meng put his palms together and pushed them to the sides. The bubble instantly evaporated, and there was an earth-shattering boom on the snowy ground. The air waves and snow that were stirred up completely formed a massive patch of chaos.
A short moment later, a massive crater appeared on the snowy ground. Ding Meng sheathed his sword and slowly walked out.
"Not bad, not bad."
Little Rascal praised loudly, "Ding Meng, your 'Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force' has improved tremendously during this period of cultivation."
Xiao Ai said, "Mm. According to my assessment, ACT5570's' Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force 'is already at the level of Second Grade Ascension."
"What Ascension? It's clearly the Fusion Realm." Little Rascal expressed his dissatisfaction.
Xiao Ai said coldly, "If I say it's the Ascension Realm, then it's definitely the Ascension Realm."
"Why?" Little Rascal was unconvinced.
Xiao Ai said, "If you've really reached the Fusion Realm, that tremor just now could've turned everything within twenty meters into nothingness."
Ding Meng nodded. He knew that Xiao Ai's words made more sense. Martial arts like 'Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force' could be used at will. In other words, it could be used with a single thought. 'Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force' could be considered one of the best Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force techniques. However, he still needed to use his hands to guide Origin Energy and force fields, so his realm was still very low.
That being said, his cultivation during this period of time was still very effective. Ding Meng was also quite satisfied with himself. If he had any regrets, it would be that the second stage of the 'Diamond Star Technique' had yet to be unlocked. Moreover, cultivation resources would be a huge problem. Green Arrow Base's Sensory Hall could no longer satisfy his needs. Most importantly, there was still the same old problem – no money!
Without money, there was nothing he could do.
The wristwatch in his mind buzzed and vibrated, indicating that there was a new instant message.
The wristwatch Ding Meng was currently wearing was no longer the Norse Empire's' Patriot Model VI ', but the Green Arrow Corps' exclusive 'Competitor' wristwatch. It didn't look like a watch, but more like an arrow-shaped armband tied to his arm. It was obviously not as advanced as the Empire's wristwatch.
The Green Arrow Corps' wristwatches weren't restricted by status. Sileman had specially given it to him for ease of communication. It could receive signals within the range of the KV Nebula, and it could even connect to the Dark Net. It didn't have many functions, but at least it was practical.
The miniature screen rose, and sure enough, Sileman's face appeared on the screen. He looked very excited. "Brother, where are you?
How's your training going? "
Ding Meng said, "Captain, from the looks of it, did something good happen?"
Sileman smiled. "Miss Qu's supplies have arrived, and so has the headquarters' transport ship. The new supplies are entering the port. Brother, are you interested in coming back? Everyone is very happy."
Ding Meng smiled. Actually, he had no interest in distributing supplies to the people in the basement, but seeing how happy Sileman was, Ding Meng didn't want to be a wet blanket, so he agreed. "Okay, I'll go back to the square immediately."
At this moment, in the square of the spaceport, supply boxes with the Empire's' Dagger 'logo were piled up into a few hills. The people in the basement had also come out, and they were all jumping around the supplies happily.
Ah Qiao's child was also there. When he saw Ding Meng, he ran over cheering. "Uncle, Uncle Ding Meng …"
Ding Meng was also very happy to see this child. Before Qu Xiaoqing and the others left, they had left a lot of nutrient solutions for everyone, so the child didn't go hungry recently. Even his complexion was a lot rosier.
Ding Meng rubbed his little head. "Little Shanzi, what have you been doing recently?"
Little Shanzi immediately punched the ground a few times and said proudly, "I've been practicing martial arts recently. I want to be like Uncle Ding Meng and Dad, and become an Origin Ability user in the future to protect our loved ones here."
Ding Meng couldn't help but smile. He really liked Little Shanzi. Little Shanzi's serious expression reminded him of his own childhood. He used to be just as innocent and naive, and he believed that Little Shanzi would definitely grow up in the future.
"Ding Meng."
Ah Qiao walked over with a large box. "There are some new clothes here. Come and pick one. You're wearing too little."
"I don't need it."
Ding Meng smiled and refused. He wasn't an ordinary person, and a cold like this was nothing. "Right, where's the captain?
Where did he go? "
Ah Qiao turned her head to look at the spaceport building. "He went to the captain's place. He told me to tell you that you can go straight up when you arrive. He has something to discuss with you."
Ding Meng nodded. He guessed that Sileman didn't just want him to come back to get supplies, because there was a large "Stinger" speedship parked in the center of the plaza. First of all, this battleship wasn't a transport ship. Second, it was clearly different from the surrounding Blazing Shark spaceships. Its appearance hadn't undergone any modifications, and it was very new and shiny, unlike the Blazing Shark spaceships that were covered in "patches". It was obvious that someone else had landed here from space.
Who would be interested in landing on this remote and barren planet KV303?
