Chapter 43: Ineffective Counterattack (Part II)

Lin Fan did not notice her distraction; he merely scanned the trio's current state with satisfaction.

"Very good. The Awakening went very smoothly, even more perfect than I anticipated."

Princess Hu Qinlan walked to Lin Fan's side and asked in a low voice, "Then, are we really going to help Karl and the others replace their System? Wouldn't that be too risky?"

"We must take the risk." Lin Fan's gaze was profound, his tone firm.

"The tracking technology of the Black Obsidian Organization cannot be underestimated, and the vulnerabilities in Karl and the others' Systems are too obvious.

Only by completely replacing the System can we truly seize the initiative."

Princess Jin Xuan clenched her fists and said boldly, "Since we've decided, let's do it! Anyway, now that we have experienced Awakening and have our power, even if they dare to come, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. "Princess Jin Xuan is right. Our strength is completely different now; it is time to strike back."

Yin Miaoxue lowered her head slightly, snuck a glance at Lin Fan, and secretly made up her mind:

I am his woman, so I must stand by his side and never let him face things alone.

Lin Fan's cultivation had already recovered to the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi in this space far exceeded his imagination.

Usually, such dense Spiritual Qi could only be felt in certain mysterious Secret Realms or ancient ruins.

But now, in this space that looked ordinary to the average person, he experienced this almost oppressive Spiritual Qi.

"This place, Earth, is truly not simple."

As their Souls experienced Awakening, the protection of the world's rules became more apparent to them, and the Spiritual Qi no longer blocked them.

Instead, it poured into their bodies endlessly, like a clear river, filling every inch of their skin and bones.

Princess Hu Qinlan sat on the edge of the bed, a faint glimmer of spiritual light appearing on her palm. With her eyes closed, feeling the changes in this Spiritual Qi, she whispered:

"This Spiritual Qi… it's so dense! Even I feel comfortable all over. Did this place originally have this kind of Spiritual Qi?"

Princess Jin Xuan also stood up and stretched her body. "It seems this place is much more powerful than I imagined."

Lin Fan did not answer directly but turned to look out the window, his eyes profound:

"The Spiritual Qi here is not ordinary Spiritual Qi; it is guided by some powerful rule.

If I am not mistaken, this area itself contains some kind of hidden power, which might be related to the Heavenly Dao."

Yin Miaoxue walked to his side and said softly, "Then the protection we have received now, isn't it…"

Lin Fan nodded. "Yes. What we have obtained is not just the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, but also the protection of the world's rules.

This power is enough to let us break through many limitations."

At this moment, everyone felt the rapid growth of power within them; each person's Spiritual Qi began to stabilize, gradually forming a subtle resonance.

"It's about time." Lin Fan muttered to himself, turning to look outside the door.

"Xiao Du should be just about ready too."

Xiao Du's soft, cute voice sounded in Lin Fan's ear. "What do you mean 'about ready'? I've been waiting for you for ages.

I estimated it would take a day, but it turned out their code was exceptionally simple, and I finished it in no time.

Now Lei Ting and the others are already waiting for you at the guard post."

Lin Fan was slightly stunned, then gave a faint laugh. "As expected of a System specialist; truly gifted."

"Of course, don't you know who's handling it? Alright, you all continue. I'm returning your phone; I'm going back to sleep."

"Got it." Lin Fan took the No. 000 quantum phone that appeared out of thin air.

"Let's go." Lin Fan whispered and turned to walk outside.

The others followed closely behind, the atmosphere tense but filled with anticipation.

They went down to the first floor, passed through the magnificent living room, and arrived at the plaza outside the manor.

Lei Ting and the other team members were already lined up and waiting.

They were wearing refined steel armor, holding light-energy weapons, with solemn expressions, preparing to face the upcoming challenge.

"Are you ready?" Lin Fan asked, his gaze sweeping over every team member.

Although his tone was calm, the majesty and decisiveness within it could not be ignored.

Lei Ting nodded and replied calmly, "Everything is ready. Awaiting orders."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then raised his head to look into the distance.

The sky outside the manor was a deep blue, and the sunlight spilled down through the clouds, as if a new dawn was about to arrive.

"Let's go, initiate the operation." Lin Fan's voice was low and powerful; he immediately turned and led the team toward the target location.

At this moment, the air at Star-Moon Manor was filled with a tense atmosphere; everyone knew that they were about to face a battle that would change the future.

And at this moment, Xiao Du's voice sounded in Lin Fan's ear again:

"Their prosthetic Systems have all been corrected by me; your actions will not be subject to any interference at all."

"Good, keep in contact." Lin Fan replied and continued to lead the team forward.

This time, Lin Fan and his group were going to provoke the bottom line of the Ningguta Authorities. Since the university was their experimental plot, then they would test exactly what that bottom line was.

Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie pulled out their "big truck" that they had treasured for many years.

The two of them sat in the driver's seat, their faces full of excitement.

After several days of unremitting effort, they had upgraded the big truck to a Level 3 civilization creation. Its appearance was imposing and domineering, with brilliant light shimmering all around it.

When the roar of the engine ceased, a powerful, wild truck appeared in the courtyard.

"Boss, we're here. Get in the car."

"With this vehicle, our subsequent actions can be more secure, and we can even easily step on Ningguta's bottom line."

"The big truck is ready and can depart at any time." Zhang Tie confirmed again.

"Let's go!" Lin Fan waved his hand, and the team gathered quickly.

Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie were already ready in the driver's seat. After everyone got on, Lin Fan sat in the passenger seat himself, and this operation to provoke the bottom line of the Ningguta Authorities began.

The convoy slowly drove out, heading toward the university that had once been regarded as untouchable.

"Lin Fan, do you think we can succeed?" Princess Hu Qinlan asked softly, her tone carrying a trace of unease.

Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly, and he answered calmly, "Success or failure depends on whether we are ready to face all challenges.

Today, we are going to tear off the fig leaf of the Ningguta Authorities."

The group arrived smoothly at Galactic Federation University. The convoy stopped in front of the school gate, and Lin Fan was the first to get out, looking around.

The atmosphere here was heavy and oppressive. Although the school was luxuriously decorated, it also revealed an invisible sense of oppression.

Wealthy and influential students walked about in twos and threes, discussing some seemingly profound topics, and the surrounding environment made one feel a silent competition.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie immediately cast their eyes toward the plaza in the center of the university; their stage was right there.

Once upon a time, this place was a symbol of academic authority, a podium for those top-tier instructors, but today, it would become their performance arena.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Ming asked softly.

"Long ready." Zhang Tie nodded, a confident smile on his face.

The two of them quickly transported the modified large-scale equipment out, and the gazes of all the students and instructors focused on them.

The equipment was massive in shape, shimmering with a metallic luster; it did not look like an ordinary device that Galactic Federation University could possess.

It represented the dreams of countless grassroots people and symbolized their resistance against being oppressed.
