Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 45: Kun-12 Subject Three

For seven days, Yang Ning was in the tank, but his mind was at the bottom of the river.

The bacteriophage did not stay in the river or consider salvaging any sunken ships. Instead, it passed through the long river and arrived at the mouth of the Extreme Eternal Heaven River.

In front of them was a 400-meter-high dam, the Haiyun Dam!

This dam was built to prevent Demonic Beasts from entering the land and rivers from the sea, so it had strict monitoring measures.

There were Law Treasures, arrays, and human monitoring, and even a monitoring room was set up at the bottom of the river, where two Qi Refining cultivators stayed all year round.

However, this was a strict entrance and lenient exit. The fish entering the inland waters wished to have their hearts and lungs examined, but the fish swimming out of the river didn't care much.

Not to mention a stick without any fluctuations in qi and blood, spiritual energy, or demonic power. It couldn't compare to those large fish that were several meters, dozens of meters, or even hundreds of meters long. At the moment it was swept into the sea by the mud and sand, the Qi Refining cultivators were still meditating with their eyes closed, without even lifting an eyelid.

Ten breaths later, feeling the completely different aura, the biological community, and buoyancy, Yang Ning felt delighted.

Finally, they had entered the sea!

Although it wasn't as unrestrained as a bird in the sky or a fish in the sea, the restrictions weighing on Yang Ning's shoulders had significantly lightened.

After all, the ocean was a world that no sect had ever controlled!

"Clone myself and explore the entire sea area. Choose a location far from the coast and go to Jade Flower Prefecture to develop!" Yang Ning circled a place on the map.

Jade Flower Prefecture was located 5,400 kilometers southeast of Ocean Cloud City and was an island with an area of 300,000 square kilometers.

Because the island had no spiritual veins, there were no sects present. Instead, there were four countries and thousands of families living there, mainly engaged in farming and sugarcane cultivation.

However, based on the stones transported from there, Yang Ning deduced that Jade Flower Island had abundant reserves of aluminum ore, titanium ore, and possibly lithium ore.

Due to the need for electrolysis to extract aluminum, it hadn't been extensively utilized in Extreme Eternal. Only a small amount of products were sold as jewelry and luxury items, known as "soft jade gold."

If aluminum production was already difficult, not to mention titanium. The people in this world hadn't even discovered how to produce magnesium for titanium!

As for lithium? It was still considered ordinary soil by people!

And the circle Yang Ning drew was 200 kilometers east of Jade Flower Prefecture.

Even someone as strong as Gao Qiang wouldn't come this far to fish.

To the south of this location was the Scattered Immortal Alliance, and to the southwest, 150 kilometers away, was the South Sea Trading Post. Both places were known for their strong commercial atmosphere. If Yang Ning had any trading ideas, he could go to these two places.

If he didn't want to spend money, that was fine too. These two places didn't have any major sects suppressing them, and the overall strength of the cultivators there was not high. The local management and organization were weak, so they were known for having many bandits.

As an old saying goes, "If bandits can rob, so can I!"

"It seems like I don't need to stay here anymore!" Yang Ning thought of himself again.

The constraints in Extreme Eternal were too great. He couldn't expose his cultivation techniques or inventions.

His alchemy techniques and those in Extreme Eternal were completely different and not aligned.

He actually preferred the united and harmonious atmosphere of Jiangyun.

However, staying in Extreme Eternal also had its benefits, such as the Supreme Dao Technique!

Currently, only Extreme Eternal Sect, First Heaven Sect, the Ten Thousand Saints Alliance, and the Monster Alliance possessed the Supreme Dao Technique. Jiangyun was destroyed in the past because it developed too quickly and was suspected of having the Supreme Dao Technique.

Having the Supreme Dao Technique didn't necessarily mean one could become an immortal, but without it, the probability of becoming an immortal would be very low.

Yang Ning had the Supreme Dao Technique, but who would complain about having too few Supreme Dao Techniques?

With one Supreme Dao Technique, the possibility of becoming an immortal was 50%. Wouldn't it be 100% with two?

As long as he stayed in Extreme Eternal, there was a chance to obtain the Supreme Dao Technique of Extreme Eternal. If he left, it would be more difficult to seize it.

"Let's give it another try. Maybe there's still a chance!" Yang Ning thought. When it came to the path of immortality, one had to fight!

On this day, the four of them gathered again at the training ground.

Yang Ning drew a white line on the training ground and sent the route map to the other three.

"Tomorrow is the day of the Fixed Monster Valley training, so today is our last day of practice. Our coordination has improved these past few days, but there's still a slight gap. I hope that today we can meet the standard, preferably passing on the first try! Do you all have confidence?"

"Yes!" Xun Hu, Ning Rong, Su Bai shouted in unison.

"Alright, Kun - Subject 12, Exam 3, first task, begin!"

The four immediately started running, with Xun Hu being the fastest, Ning Rong second, Su Bai third, and Yang Ning fourth. Xun Hu arrived at the top of the vehicle first, opened the hatch, and jumped into the tank, followed by the other three.

"Total time: 8 seconds!" When Yang Ning entered last, he looked at the expectant eyes of the other three and confidently announced the result.

"Yeah!" The three cheered in unison.

They still remembered that during their first training, it took them a whole minute just to get into the tank.

But now, the order was clear, and they managed their time precisely, without wasting a single second.

Being able to set a record relied on the perfect cooperation and relentless efforts of the four.

"Second task, transmigrate through the kilometer-long maze!" Yang Ning timed it perfectly, then placed his hands on the steering wheel.

The four immediately stepped on the pedals, and the tank rumbled forward.

"Turn right 90 degrees!" Ning Rong shouted while observing his hand.

The four immediately turned the steering wheel, maintaining their speed, but successfully completing the turn.

"Turn left 75 degrees!"

"Straight for 50 meters!"

"Turn right 30 degrees!"

"Straight!"

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"There's a bend ahead!"

The wheels of the tank rolled forward, and three of the four were starting to feel numb in their legs, but no one complained of fatigue or asked to speed up.

Because they knew that Kun 12 was a weapon that had never appeared in this world before, and tomorrow would be its first appearance!

This debut had to be perfect!

"Straight for 20 meters, reach the finish line!"

"Squeak!" The piercing sound of the brakes echoed, and the tank accurately stopped within the white line.

Yang Ning quickly checked the time, then jumped out of the tank.

The remaining three also quickly jumped out and followed Yang Ning to inspect the tracks and the condition of the white line, step by step, along the original path.

Unconsciously, their breathing became lighter.

After a few minutes, the four returned to the finish line.

Yang Ning took a deep breath and said, "Number of times touching the line: 0, number of times crossing the line: 0, total time: 17 minutes 43 seconds!"

"Perfect score!"

"Wow!" Ning Rong clenched his fist and leaped up. Last time, it took him 18 minutes and 20 seconds, and he touched the line four times!

This time, it was a perfect run!

Su Bai was even more excited, hugging the tank tightly and not wanting to let go.

Even Xun Hu's heart was pounding. He didn't know why he was so excited. Clearly, he could run faster than the tank, and in the future, he could fight a fierce beast with just his sword. But he was still so happy about setting this kind of record.

"It's not over yet!" Yang Ning smiled and said, "The last task is all up to you, Ning Rong!"

"Moving shooting, huh? I've already hit a hundred shots out of a hundred!"
