Chapter 170 The Craving for Absolute Strength



After the mutated plant died, a squad of soldiers came from the outskirts of the Forest of Hope. They were stunned for a moment when they saw the scene before them, but they were already prepared. They simply took specimen boxes, cut off the branches, leaves and roots of the mutated mimosa tree, put them into bags, and sealed them.

Several people carried the mutated plant's corpse out in batches and onto the starship.

Busy figures moved about, glancing occasionally in Lin Yiran's direction, as if they knew what was going on.

Lin Yiran did not see Senran in the crowd.

Just then, Senran messaged me on my Star Brain: "I'm waiting for you on the outskirts, come out quickly."

Yuan Qi was to stay behind and direct the soldiers to carefully collect the various parts of the mutated plants. After telling him this, Lin Yiran headed towards the outer edge of the Forest of Hope. While the soldiers were busy and bustling about, she seemed relaxed and carefree. However, Lin Yiran envied their groups of figures, and the joy they showed as they ran towards the mutated plants was palpable.

Lin Yiran's dream is to fight alongside them someday; she loves that atmosphere.

Looking up at the sky, there were white trails like clouds left by fighter jets flying by, and the roar of fighter jets. That was the sound of them retreating. The Federal Command Center was calling for all fighter jets to return to their original routes!

Inside the flying car, Senran sat in front of the screen, where several officers in military uniforms were chatting. Watching the fighter jets return, their faces were all filled with smiles, and they couldn't suppress their smiles when talking to the commander.

This is the best result since we started fighting against mutated plants.

Senran looked at the report sent to her on the screen, unable to hide the joy on her face.

The report in front of him showed:

The 232nd battle of the Federation.

Battle Name: Battle of Hanhai.

Target plant classification level: Level 12

The target plant belongs to the legume family, and is a perennial herb or subshrub.

Task progress: The mutated plants have been completely eradicated.

Military personnel involved: Air Force 108th Squadron, Army 56th District, all members of the 9th Fighter Group, the 8th Mech Group, Shenhuang Special Forces...

Number of people returning to the team this time: All

Death toll: 0.

Number of fighter jets destroyed: 0

Number of wounded: 5

Total duration: 3 hours.

The actual level of the mutated plant is level twelve.

A level 12 mutated plant was taken down in three hours with zero deaths.

This result shocked the federal leadership.

They never imagined that the battle against the mutated plants would end this way; it truly surprised everyone.

However, knowing that the commander was personally directing the battle, they had nothing to say. After all, the commander was indeed capable, although his strength this time was a bit too overwhelming. But perhaps it was because the commander had really developed a method to eliminate mutated plants effortlessly after so long in seclusion?

They were quite confident about this, even though it was unlikely, they were willing to believe in their commander who always managed to create miracles.

Let's look at the numbers.

They still couldn't believe it, so they asked, "Commander, is there anything different about this battle, or have you discovered a way to suppress the mutated plants? Tell us so we can consider it; it might be helpful for future battles."

Senran: "I will issue a special report on this matter and send it to you later, but you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement. As for the result, I can only say that this is something I did not expect."

The older man in military uniform was surprised: "What? Could there really be some unexpected event in this battle? But based on past experience, every time something unexpected happens, more of our soldiers die. So, is this event turning out for the better?"

Senran: "Yes, but I'm still investigating this matter. Please wait for further notice."

The video link was then cut off.

Lin Yiran just happened to open the door of the flying car at that moment.

When she came in, she saw Senran sitting in the driver's seat, smiling at her with a... inexplicable expression. She realized that he really loved to smile.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Yiran asked.

Senran: "I was watching the video of your battle just now. It was sent to me by the original poster. I'm no longer a soldier, so I can't go in to find you. That's why he sent me the video of your battle via live stream. You don't mind, do you?"

Lin Yiran shook her head, "I don't mind."

"Did you notice anything? Or is there anything I can improve? I always feel that this kind of fighting is still too strenuous, but I don't know where to improve it."

Senran's eyes flickered; for the first time, he was impressed by Lin Yiran's character.

The desire for absolute power is the defining characteristic of Lin Yiran.

Without much hesitation, he pulled up the video of her recent battle and, from a professional's perspective, analyzed Lin Yiran's strengths and weaknesses frame by frame, offering his opinions.

It has to be said that professionals are different; Lin Yiran found that Senran could really easily spot her strengths and weaknesses.

Let's just look at what's shown in the video.

If an ordinary person saw her use her superpowers, their attention would be drawn to it the moment they saw her, and they wouldn't be able to notice any flaws in her or her techniques.

However, Senran could see that Lin Yiran's strength needed improvement. In one scene, when she was trying to dodge the branches shot out by the mutated mimosa, one of her arms got caught on a tree. As a result, she couldn't support herself because her arm was too weak and she fell down. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself in time with her superpower.

But even such a small gesture was noticed by Senran.

“Your strength is really poor. A normal adult can easily support their entire body weight on one arm, but you not only can't support it but also slip off instantly. This shows that you are not only weak in strength but also in explosive power. If you don't mind, after we finish dealing with things at the shop, we can rent a training ground and I will give you a specialized training session.”

"After training, your special abilities may not improve, but your strength will improve significantly. In the future..." He didn't know what to say, because Lin Yiran applied for the comprehensive arts class. In Senran's eyes, people in the arts class were just rich kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun and couldn't contribute to society.

Of course, his thinking is somewhat biased.

However, it is a fact that very few people from comprehensive arts classes join the military.

He didn't know why Lin Yiran chose this class, nor did he know whether Lin Yiran would be willing to join the army in the future.

According to Senran's idea.

Lin Yiran's abilities dictate that she should go to the front lines and contribute to the Federation.
