CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 259: FIRST ENCOUNTER (6K)

Xuanxing was very sure he hadn’t remembered incorrectly.

Even if he did remember incorrectly, his memory module would never lie.

That day, the Black Robed Man had taken out a highly clear holographic video to show them the "wonderful aspects of Miss Fan Mao" through a collection of battle highlights.

The appearance was identical to this stranger summoned by Sibais, who was now staring at him from afar.

Even the growth pattern of the tail hair and the random flicking frequency of the ear tips were remarkably similar, making it hard not to connect the two.

Hmm, why did he even notice things like this?

One can only say that machine recognition isn’t something you should question (pointing this out).

Moreover, what Xuanxing had noticed wasn’t limited to this most easily disguised appearance; even the abilities displayed by this stranger were strikingly similar to what he had seen in the video.

However, in the video presented by the Black Robed Man, Fan Mao used abilities to summon a large number of plants, while this stranger, suspected to be Fan Mao, used abilities to summon a large number of insects.

The final results were different, but the essence was very similar.

This was because he hadn’t learned more about Fan Mao in the Starry Sky and didn’t know why the ability to summon the Insect Swarm wasn’t used there.

He only thought it was a disguise to conceal the real strength.

Once he confirmed the identity of the other party, all the information about Fan Mao from the memory database was instantly retrieved; he thought of the things sold in that shop and all that the Black Robed Man said about Fan Mao.

"A Contractor? No, how could Sibais have found a way to contact a Contractor without reaching Tier Six and could not even have knowledge about the intelligence of other Paradises.

Hold on, according to the current intelligence, it seems that during the last Cycle Challenge, many Lords from various worlds participated together, so there’s a possibility of contact with other world Lords...

This Fan Mao, is she a Lord?"

But this guess led to an even more challenging outcome for him.

If this Fan Mao was indeed a Lord, then according to current information, the other party reached Tier Six at least a week ago...

Having experienced many instances, he wouldn’t believe that a week was truly just a week.

For them, this week could very likely be a month, or even a time difference of several months!

While this part of the intelligence largely came from the Lord named Jun Lin and the Black Robed Man, he didn’t think there was an issue with this particular intelligence.

At least right now, the inference shouldn’t have too large discrepancies.

"This is troublesome...

Although I considered that Sibais might use his Space Ability to pull off some tricks, I didn’t expect he would actually summon such a character...

It seems to have the same strong expansion ability, even faster than the expansion speed of my Mechanical Army...

And most importantly, the abilities of the other party are too much of a counter to mine, and I just advanced and haven’t had time to reinforce the Mechanical Forces.

If only they were able to reach all Tier Six, I could completely switch to Energy Weapons, on my own turf, I could at least put up a fight!"

Since semi-mechanization, Xuanxing no longer felt despair or fear, calmness and reason became his eternal theme.

Since fighting has been confirmed, then how to fight became the next consideration.

First, he could confirm that he had the home advantage, with the entire world under his control. In terms of resource control and Combat Power, he was far ahead.

At least in this world, his advantage was stronger than that of the Lord named Fan Mao...

And this Fan Mao, currently observed through remote monitoring machines, had already begun using those special plants spreading underground to develop.

Based on energy readings, that seemed to be the main energy source for the other party.

But this was also normal, although he didn’t know how the other party managed to summon so many insects at once or how they managed to sustain combat for so long.

However, one principle was certain, and that was that any ability must incur some consumption.

No matter how much is accumulated, in high-intensity combat there will always be a time when it’s exhausted.

This might also be why the other party didn’t pursue an attack even after retreating.

Even if they could crush him now, over time they would inevitably exhaust their resources and need to develop and replenish.

Not only could it not cause him too much harm, but it could also likely give him enough time to develop.

Xuanxing didn’t think this Fan Mao was unaware of his information.

Even if he didn’t reveal much in the transit area, Sibais should have provided quite a bit.

At the very least, it couldn’t hide that he had just advanced and needed time to strengthen his soldiers.

So comparatively, grabbing the opportunity and immediately starting local development was the optimal solution.

Moreover, while there’s currently no evidence, he strongly suspected that the other party’s speed at deploying troops wasn’t any slower...

"We must disrupt Fan Mao’s development!

With my large Mechanical Army in hand, though large-scale battles aren’t viable, can’t I use long-range harassment to disrupt their development?

Just so happens that this Tier Six enhancement has a long-range attack direction...

We don’t need to interfere for long, at my enhancement speed, only need at most three days..."

Carefully thinking it through, relying on the computer for rapid calculation of time points, he became increasingly convinced of the plan’s feasibility, and immediately issued the command through the computer:
