However, when confronting a group from Saudi previously, Feng Yi had seen something akin to teleportation in Mengdie's abilities, though he couldn't, or more accurately, had not dared to confirm it. He thought that it might have been an optical illusion caused by Mengdie's speed. After all, both the eyes and feelings can deceive, especially in a terrible state.
But, at this moment, Feng Yi was eighty percent sure about his previous guess about Mengdie.
Let's call Mengdie's final move the Water Escape for now. Indeed, before Mengdie used the Water Escape, Feng Yi had considered the possibility of her using that kind of elusive move. But he didn't stop her, because to some extent, curiosity is innate to everyone. Although Feng Yi is more reasonable than others most of the time, one should understand that he is not a god but a human being, and he cannot always maintain rationality. He has his own sense of exploration and is curious about what interests him, and Mengdie, whether in her skills, speed, or skills, is of interest to Feng Yi.
Firstly, speaking about speed, apart from Mengdie, it might be hard to find another who could match him. This does not mean that Feng Yi is the fastest in the world. On the contrary, everyone has their expertise. Feng Yi's strength in combat has a direct relation to his speed. However, even though there are others who are as strong as him, it's rare to find those who have comprehended the Legendary Realm within the same realm. In other words, under the Legendary Realm, Feng Yi could increase his speed several fold. As to how much exactly, he hasn't tested it as there has been no one suitable to test it against. This confusion about his speed is due to him achieving his critical speed under the Blank Paper Realm using Air Travel.
Secondly, there's Mengdie's skills, which too piqued his interest. In Feng Yi's understanding, there's nothing in this world that exceeds the understanding of human beings. For example, the human soul is actually a manifestation of a magnetic field. When science provides the answers, superstitious legends will naturally be discredited.
Lasso's book mentioned this concept, focusing on the records about the Yanhuang Soul Ancient Martial Arts Hall. Actually, it's a poem talking about how ancient martial arts are benevolent, reminding people of the Yanhuang Soul. The poem referenced the Storm Stance, mentioned by Lasso to be a combination of the Yanhuang Soul's ancient martial arts and modern combat techniques, formed through special opportunities. The most vital reason being that the person must have the wind attribute.
People talk about the Five Elements and Eight Characters, but why are there only five in the Five Elements, and eight in the Eight Characters? In fact, many special destinies were not accepted by historical figures. The attributes of wind, light and shadow, and thunder all exist in the Five Elements.
For instance, many people enjoy the scorching sun and fiery clouds, and like red, which means that they might be of the fire element.
Similarly, a person who likes listening to the rain at night and appreciates everything related to water probably has the water attribute.
Wood, earth, and gold attributes follow the same rationale. People who naturally like the color black may have the shadow attribute...
Feng Yi studied these concepts, but only after seeing the water attribute utilized by Mengdie did he realize that his own understanding was far too limited. It was as if he had discovered a new land. This was also why Feng Yi didn't pursue Mengdie, and instead allowed her to demonstrate a skill like the Water Escape.
After all, in his understanding, the skill Mengdie used should have been a wind attribute accelerating speed, not a water attribute. But why would the wind be effective on Mengdie who belongs to the water attribute group? This would correlate to counteraction where the wind can create water, or dry it up. The so-called creation of water refers modernly to water factors in air humidity, and the dehydration refers to blowing the water dry.
This is the same logic as water can give life to wood or submerge it, carry a boat or capsize it. Feng Yi was a bit skeptical of these two attributes that could both generate and counter each other, so he wanted to see it for himself. And he did.
There was some regret, but also a sense of loss.
All he could do was shake his head and give a wry smile, as Feng Yi himself was unsure of whether he didn't have the heart to capture Mengdie. Was it because he didn't feel Mengdie's malicious intentions, and this may be what he convinced himself of? Or was it because Mengdie was too beautiful causing him to have feelings for her? Or, could it be due to Mengdie's temperament, the hint of sadness in her eyes, and the secrets she held?
This, he really couldn't tell. Alas! Since he is not an immortal, he is bound to have distractions, not knowing when he started to become so sentimental. Could it be because the people around him are gradually leaving, and the person underneath the mask is becoming more real?
A light rain began to fall from the sky... causing Feng Yi's heart to ripple. Or was it Mengdie's enigmatic temperament that moved him? His former self might have been somewhat similar to Mengdie, right? Or was it because of his own curiosity that he was reminded of the memories buried deep within his heart?
Dark clouds made the weather gradually cooler. Feng Yi tried to catch a drop of rain, but it splashed into a spray of water on his palm...
There was still a need for reinforcements over there. He shook his head and ordered John to immediately rush to where Sky Shadow was. Given his current situation, riding the Mecha would be a bit stronger than a single soldier performance, but it was very limited, and he could only rely on the Flame Corps for now.
His current location, this jungle had blocked all messages, but the Flame Corps is too large, it is impossible not to be detected by the Empire Mechas. The two sides will soon meet, the Flame Corps only sent a small force to the scene, and more soldiers are used to restrain the Saudi main forces.
After a swift 20 minutes of fighting, the Empire soldiers were routed by the vanguard in just a couple of encounters.
In this, there was a big psychological factor. After all, the Empire soldiers didn't know who they could contact with their communicators, and they were unaware of who they were dealing with, unlike the Flame Corps. These frontiersmen, who had experienced many battles, were not only using the 9th generation models, but also had the tactical guidance of Eggy, who planned everything meticulously. Furthermore, the Empire soldiers who had lost communication functions seemed aimless, were quickly beaten back by the Flame Corps.
The good news was, our super soldiers were found. But Feng Yi was in no mood to rejoice. Indeed, finding people is good news, but he would rather not hear this news. Mu Tou, in order to protect the Haier Brothers, had sacrificed himself. The usually dull and kind-hearted fellow was just...
Upon receiving the news, there was no change in Feng Yi's expression, his fist just clenched tighter until it creaked... Yes, he had gotten used to being numb, or used to people leaving his side. But, he would still feel waves of sadness from partings.
