Chapter 295

As long as one knows what they want, if it’s practically feasible, they can always find a way to create it. The greatest fear is having no goal.

Take Su Hao, for example, wanting to create a force field for the main and secondary stars. Once he understands the nature of the force fields in these two spatial domains, he can use runes to recreate them.

While generating force fields for paired ‘Twin Space Modules’ might be just one type among the main and secondary star force fields, Su Hao believes that producing all force fields will inevitably yield the paired ‘Space Modules’ he desires.

Su Hao’s progress with the ‘Force Field Generation’ rune is going smoothly.

However, unexpected visitors have arrived.

Stopping his ongoing experiment, Su Hao senses a large number of summoned beasts surrounding the base from all directions.

Currently, they are still outside the 5,000-meter range. Based on their estimated speed, they could reach the experimental base in just two minutes.

“It should be members of the Resistance Association; it seems they’ve discovered us!”

Su Hao calmly walks out, heading towards the computer room in Yashan.

The timing of the Resistance members’ arrival is perfect. Su Hao is contemplating how to capture some Resistance members to study the balance agent that allows humans to traverse space. Now, members of the Resistance Association have willingly entered his territory, personally delivering experimental material to his doorstep, greatly pleasing Su Hao.

Su Hao has also researched the balance organization inside summoned beasts. It is a tiny, water-drop-shaped organization with eight tentacles extending from each small unit, connecting to the surrounding flesh and blood, resembling two small stools stacked together. It looks quite peculiar.

This balance organization is spread throughout the body of every summoned beast. It is this unique water-drop balance organization that enables summoned beasts to traverse space smoothly without distortion or destruction.

This organization reminds Su Hao of a ‘wind damping device,’ also known as a fixed-floor artifact made of reinforced steel and concrete, crucial for preventing tall buildings from being blown over by the wind.

Although the structures are different, Su Hao speculates that there may be some similarities in the principles involved.

A wind damping device protects a building’s stability by effectively reducing resonance forces. Similarly, the balance organization in summoned beasts likely uses some principle to weaken the pressure from space teleportation, stabilizing the process.

The principle seems simple, but this balance organization is exclusive to summoned beasts and cannot be directly transplanted into the human body. Su Hao is very curious about how the Resistance achieves teleportation.

“Why didn’t we find a similar organization in the last Resistance woman we captured?”

This is something Su Hao cannot comprehend!

After finding Yashan, Su Hao says, “Yashan, we’ve been discovered, apparently by members of the Resistance Association. It seems that when we captured someone last time, we were tracked by something. You should bury the things in the base underground for safekeeping, and then come back later to retrieve them.”

Yashan replies, “Alright, Boss Wei!”

Then, with confusion, he asks, “Why wait to retrieve them later? Why don’t we just take them all out now?”

Su Hao laughs, “You make a good point, but let’s be cautious. I’m worried that while we’re out fighting, something might sneak in. Many documents haven’t been destroyed yet, and it wouldn’t be good if they were discovered.”

Yashan’s ‘Life Detection’ now senses the arrival of numerous summoners and summoned beasts. He eagerly says, “Got it, Boss Wei. Leave the enemies to the east to me.”

With the movement of his King Kong armor, the entire base sinks underground, and then he walks outside with Su Hao.

Black crystal armor gradually covers both of them. Once outside, they transform into two tall and powerful armored figures.

Jumping onto the mountaintop, they can vaguely see a large number of summoned beasts surrounding them— at least fifty advanced summoners and at least five hundred summoned beasts!

It’s like a small army attacking a fortress!

The mobilization of so many summoners is something neither Su Hao nor Yashan expected.

Su Hao turns to Yashan, saying, “Yashan, be cautious. Given this situation, there might be some heavy weapons with long-range attacks! There could even be high-explosive bombs.”

Yashan’s brain, initially heated by the surging blood, instantly clears up, accompanied by a tingling sensation and numbness in his mouth. He responds, “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”

Su Hao gestures towards the pile of summoned beasts in front of them, “Take a look for yourself. They are all uniformly B-rank or higher summoned beasts. Your ‘Resistance Butcher’ seems to be quite successful.”

Yashan proudly smiles, “Indeed!”

Su Hao says, “Let’s go! Don’t ruin the battlefield here; it’s such a beautiful place. We can have a proper fight with them outside the scenic area.”

Yashan looks at the clear river and beautiful peaks, realizing it would be a shame to damage them. He confidently declares, “Don’t worry, Boss Wei. When it comes to fighting, you can trust me!”

With that, the two head towards the summoned beasts, one from the west and one from the east.

The combat style of summoners is unique. They personally hide their tracks, control summoned beasts to attack enemies, locate enemy summoners, and then eliminate them.

They prioritize their own lives, and as for the summoned beasts, if they die, they die. They can always summon more. The secondary star’s secondary star beasts are endless…

Hence, scenes where trash talk precedes a fight rarely occur in the summoner world. Even television dares not portray it that way.

The tradition of lurking in the background and launching deadly attacks quickly and accurately has become ingrained in everyone’s blood in this world.

So, when the summoned beasts sent by Su Hao approach, the summoners hiding in the distance don’t jump out to mock Su Hao or draw aggression.

Instead, they uniformly command the summoned beasts to change direction and charge straight at Su Hao!

This is exactly what Su Hao desires; a swift end with a slash.

As for Su Hao’s summoned beasts…

Does Su Hao need summoned beasts?

No, he doesn’t! Summoned beasts would only distract him in the midst of battle.

His purpose in becoming a summoner is solely to explore the secrets of spatial teleportation, not to rely on summoned beasts for power.

This isn’t a game of summoner battles. In the time it takes to summon, he can already take down several summoned beasts with his blades! Su Hao conjures a main and a secondary longsword in his hands.

‘Sharp,’ ‘Penetration,’ ‘Hard’!

Three runes activate instantly.

Su Hao swings the two longswords in the air, adapting to the swordplay. Soon, he regains the feeling of a warrior, ‘killing one in ten steps.’

Su Hao’s footsteps become agile, like a butterfly gracefully dancing, never revealing where he’ll fly next.

Getting closer!

‘Earthquake Wave’!

‘Charge’!

‘Acid Spray’!

‘Tread’!

‘Poison Sting’!

For a moment, the summoned beasts unleash their skills, launching a relentless attack on Su Hao. Clearly, after the previous battle with Yashan, they understand the terrifying combat strength of these black crystal armored figures and must exert their full power; otherwise, they might still face defeat!

However, they are still too naive. It’s not a matter of ‘might face defeat,’ but rather, they are bound to face defeat!

Because they don’t know that the person they’re facing now is no longer the same black crystal armored figure they encountered before!

Facing the overwhelming attacks, Su Hao remains unperturbed, his steps unceasing.

The main sword in his right hand ignites a hurricane fire dragon, rising diagonally.

‘Fire Dragon – Horizontal Slash’!

    Chapter 295

    As long as you know what you want to create—and it is theoretically possible—there will always be a way to achieve it.

    The greatest obstacle is not difficulty, but the lack of a clear direction.

    Take Su Hao's current objective as an example.

    He wanted to recreate the spatial force fields of both the Main Star and the Secondary Star. Once he fully understood the nature of those force fields, reproducing them with runes would simply become a matter of engineering.

    The force field required to generate a pair of Twin Spatial Modules was likely only one specific combination within the countless force fields of the Main Star and the Secondary Star.

    But Su Hao believed that if he could reproduce every force field, he would inevitably generate the Twin Spatial Modules he needed.

    His research on the Force Field Generation Rune was progressing smoothly.

    Then...

    Unexpected guests arrived.


    ---

    Stopping his experiment, Su Hao spread out his radar perception.

    A large number of summoned beasts were rapidly converging on the base from every direction.

    They were still over five kilometers away.

    At their current speed, however, they would arrive within two minutes.

    "They should be members of the Resistance Association."

    "So they've finally found us."

    Su Hao calmly left the laboratory and headed toward the computer room where Yashan was.


    ---

    The timing couldn't have been better.

    Su Hao had been wondering how to capture more members of the Resistance Association to study the mysterious Balancer Agent that allowed humans to travel freely through space.

    Now...

    They had delivered experimental subjects right to his doorstep.

    Naturally, he was delighted.


    ---

    Over the past two years, Su Hao had carefully studied the Balancer Organ inside summoned beasts.

    It was an extremely tiny, droplet-shaped organ.

    Each unit possessed eight delicate tendrils extending outward, connecting to the surrounding flesh and blood, giving it the appearance of two tiny stools stacked together.

    Its structure was incredibly strange.

    This Balancer Organ was distributed throughout every summoned beast's body.

    It was precisely this unique structure that allowed summoned beasts to withstand spatial travel without being crushed or torn apart.

    Looking at it, Su Hao couldn't help thinking of a tuned mass damper used in skyscrapers.

    Although their structures were completely different, their principles might share certain similarities.

    A tuned mass damper reduced resonance and stabilized buildings against strong winds.

    Likewise, the Balancer Organ probably weakened the enormous stresses generated during spatial teleportation, allowing the body to remain stable.

    Its principle sounded simple...

    Yet this organ existed only in summoned beasts.

    It couldn't simply be transplanted into a human body.

    That was precisely what puzzled Su Hao.

    How exactly had the Resistance Association enabled humans to teleport?

    "And why didn't we find a similar organ inside the Resistance woman we captured last time?"

    That question still had no answer.


    ---

    Finding Yashan, Su Hao said,

    "Yashan, we've been discovered."

    "The Resistance Association has probably traced us here."

    "When we captured that woman last time, they must have left some kind of tracking method."

    "Bury everything in the base underground."

    "We'll recover it after the battle."

    Yashan nodded immediately.

    "Got it, Boss Wei."

    Then he asked in confusion,

    "Why bury it?"

    "Wouldn't it be easier to just take everything with us?"

    Su Hao laughed.

    "You've got a point."

    "But it's better to be careful."

    "If we're both outside fighting, someone could sneak into the base."

    "There are still plenty of research materials that haven't been destroyed."

    "It'd be troublesome if they got their hands on them."

    By now, Yashan's Life Detection had also sensed the approaching army.

    His eyes lit up.

    "Boss Wei!"

    "I'll take care of the enemies on the eastern side."


    ---

    His Earth Lord armor activated.

    The entire underground base slowly descended deeper beneath the earth before completely sealing itself away.

    Only then did he leave together with Su Hao.

    Black crystal armor rapidly spread across both of their bodies.

    Moments later, two towering armored figures stood atop the mountain.

    Looking into the distance...

    They could already make out countless summoned beasts surrounding them.

    There were at least fifty advanced summoners.

    And no fewer than five hundred summoned beasts.

    It looked less like a hunting party...

    ...and more like an army laying siege to a fortress.

    Even Su Hao and Yashan hadn't expected the Resistance Association to mobilize such overwhelming force.


    ---

    Su Hao looked toward Yashan.

    "Be careful."

    "If they've gathered this many people, they may have brought long-range heavy weapons."

    "There could even be high-explosive bombs."

    Yashan, whose fighting spirit had been boiling moments earlier, immediately calmed down.

    His scalp tingled.

    "Isn't that a little excessive?"

    Su Hao pointed toward the army ahead.

    "Look carefully."

    "Every summoned beast here is at least B-rank."

    "It seems your Resistance Butcher identity has become quite famous."

    Yashan scratched his head proudly.

    "Hehe... I suppose it has."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Let's move."

    "This scenery is too beautiful to ruin."

    "We'll fight them outside the tourist area."

    Looking at the crystal-clear river and the picturesque mountains, Yashan nodded seriously.

    "It really would be a pity."

    "Don't worry, Boss Wei."

    "You can leave the fighting to me."


    ---

    The two split apart.

    Su Hao advanced from the west.

    Yashan from the east.


    ---

    The combat style of summoners differed greatly from ordinary warriors.

    The summoner hid safely in the rear.

    Their summoned beasts fought on the front lines.

    The priority was always protecting the summoner.

    As for summoned beasts...

    If one died, another could simply be summoned.

    The Secondary Star contained an endless supply of summoned beasts.

    Because of this...

    Summoners rarely exchanged speeches before battle.

    There was no dramatic shouting.

    No meaningless provocation.

    The culture of striking swiftly from the shadows had long since become instinct.


    ---

    Therefore...

    As soon as Su Hao entered their attack range...

    None of the hidden summoners stepped forward.

    Instead, every one of them simultaneously ordered their summoned beasts to charge.

    Exactly what Su Hao wanted.

    A quick battle.

    A quick end.


    ---

    As for summoned beasts...

    Did Su Hao need them?

    No.

    Summoned beasts would only distract him during combat.

    He had become a summoner solely to uncover the secrets of spatial teleportation.

    Not because he relied on summoned beasts to fight.

    This wasn't a duel between summoners.

    By the time another person finished summoning a beast...

    Su Hao could already have cut down several enemies.


    ---

    Two longswords condensed into his hands.

    One in each hand.

    Sharp.

    Penetration.

    Hardness.

    Three runes activated instantly.

    Su Hao casually swung both swords through the air.

    His body quickly recovered the familiar rhythm of combat—

    The rhythm of killing an enemy every ten steps.

    His footsteps became light and unpredictable, drifting across the battlefield like a butterfly.

    No one could predict where he would appear next.


    ---

    Closer.

    Closer still.

    Then—

    "Earthquake Wave!"

    "Charge!"

    "Acid Spray!"

    "Trample!"

    "Poison Sting!"

    ...

    Dozens of attacks erupted simultaneously.

    The summoned beasts unleashed every skill they possessed, flooding the battlefield with overwhelming firepower.

    They had learned from their previous encounter with Yashan.

    They knew exactly how terrifying these black crystal-armored warriors were.

    Holding back meant certain defeat.

    So they attacked with everything they had from the very beginning.

    Unfortunately...

    They had misunderstood one thing.

    It wasn't that they might lose.

    They were destined to lose.

    Because the man standing before them...

    Was no longer the same opponent they had faced before.


    ---

    Facing the torrent of attacks, Su Hao remained perfectly calm.

    His footsteps never faltered.

    The sword in his right hand burst into blazing flames.

    A roaring fire dragon coiled around the blade before surging skyward.

    Fire Dragon — Horizontal Slash!
