Chapter 1424 - 1143: Deep Behind Enemy Lines_2

As it turned out, the guy he was disguising himself as was Henki, and the only reason he was being ostracized here was merely because he was the weakest!

Perhaps it was because they were born as experimental subjects that this group, The Forgotten Ones, was filled with an inferiority complex, one that seemed to be etched into their very genetics. It was for this reason that they always moved about in large armors, even at home. And also because of this mentality, they instinctively rejected the weak, as shunning the weak would make them appear more like powerhouses. Evidently, Henki was the weakest here. And Henki’s squad was also the weakest on the training ground.

The weakest of the weak, it was no wonder he received this treatment.

On the field, if anyone in the other teams didn’t train properly, their instructor would threaten, "I’ll send you to that worst squad with Henki!" Then, that person would immediately start training desperately.

This was far easier than he had thought.

The weakest of the weak, the pitiful outcast, Long Yi liked this setting. If he were the protagonist of a transmigration novel, he would definitely burst forth with a force to sweep through every warrior here.

However, that was impossible now, as there were still important matters to attend to.

"Heehee, it’s been a long time, but Brother Long is still so entertaining," Elsa’s laughter came from the contract. Long Yi then realized that he had not cut off the contact with the contract, and all his recent whimsical thoughts had been overheard by Elsa.

"That’s what you call a sense of humor," Long Yi said with a smile.

"In your homeland’s words, this is called ’funny,’" Elsa said.

"Right, ’funny!’ Actually, I also brought a message with me. Do you remember the Overlord, the Giant who suppressed the Observer? Yes, him, I just encountered him. He asked me to tell you that the Emperor here is not a pacifist at all; he’s just using that as a guise to vie for power. Clearly, the purpose of his current military buildup is obvious," Long Yi said.

"Yes, actually, when I first arrived here, I started suspecting the Emperor’s intentions weren’t pure. Now you’ve confirmed my suspicion. But that doesn’t matter much since we’re both here, aren’t we?" Elsa said.

"Right, we are both here!" Long Yi was now extremely excited. For him, as long as he could meet Elsa, it didn’t matter where they were.

Training ended, and all the warriors returned to their resting areas. To Long Yi’s surprise, the warriors here actually had single rooms!

But when he walked in, Long Yi discovered that the so-called single room was infuriatingly small! The space was only enough for him to stand inside! And the small bed in front was only one meter long! Even for the white-skinned ones, it was barely enough to lie down and sleep!

"Over here, I have plenty of space," Elsa said. "I can even lie down with armor on, and it’s a single room too." Obviously, this was a privilege for outstanding soldiers.

But at that moment, there were only three words in Long Yi’s ears.

Single room, huh!

Single room, huh!!

Single room, huh!!!

These three words echoed in Long Yi’s ears for several seconds, and he understood.

The next day, it was still routine training.

The third day, it was still training.

As new recruits, and the weakest group at that, in this place, nobody really cared about their performance as long as it wasn’t outrageously terrible.

But there was one thing that Long Yi found very intriguing; even these rookie recruits had very, very strong combat abilities. The Observer they had encountered on the Crystal Demon’s Home Star must have been a professional warrior. That warrior, even after being sealed for thousands of years, was still immensely powerful, and naturally, the underlying reason for this strength was the very special energy alloy.

The idea of fusing energy material with metal was something Long Yi had never thought of before. But it also made him realize that he couldn’t always assume he was superior just because he came from another world; after all, the laws of operation in these two worlds were completely different.

However, since it was an energy alloy, could there be some other special ways to play with it?

As the rookie squad, their training was mostly just going through the motions, especially for Henki—the character Long Yi was impersonating. Whether he trained or slacked off, basically, nobody cared. And their instructor only made sure they didn’t sneak away, not minding if they weren’t serious in their training. According to the unintentional remarks of the instructor, it seemed that in the eyes of The Forgotten Ones’ clan members, they were already invincible in the universe and didn’t have to worry about any future battles.

Regardless, this certainly gave Long Yi plenty of opportunities to slack off. Often, while others trained, he would stand by idly, and no one would bother him. But Long Yi wasn’t actually daydreaming; he was contemplating the composition of this energy alloy.

This new type of alloy was created by regularly stacking Crystal Poison crystals with metallic crystals, utilizing the energy state of Crystal Poison to maintain the stability of the metal. Especially when external energy was injected, these metals would exhibit various powerful properties.
