CHAPTER 702: CHAPTER 426: RAINBOW IRON AND LEGEND, HONORARY MAJOR GENERAL

Click!

On that day, inside the Martial Arts Hall’s guest room.

The teacup was set down, its fragrance lingering in the air.

After the two disciples who stayed in the Martial Arts Hall had left, Chen Feng, facing Chen Yun, who still looked worried, smiled helplessly.

"I’m fine now."

He gently shook his head, and only then did Chen Yun finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the guest room fell silent temporarily as Chen Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say many things and ask many questions.

The younger brother she watched grow up had now become the strongest martial artist on Earth Star.

Flying across the sky and burrowing into the ground, with a body that could withstand energy cannons, unrivaled in the martial arts world...

Previously, due to project research, she had been in a closed environment for a long time and thus was slow to react to these matters, never taking the time to fully understand.

And now, receiving so much information at once, combined with witnessing the shocking scene that day with her own eyes.

It was evident that many doubts remained in her eyes, along with self-denial.

"I didn’t want to say much before, fearing you’d be worried."

"There are many grievances in the martial arts world, and I also find it hard to stay uninvolved."

Chen Feng said softly, no longer concealing, but not wanting to elaborate too much on how he had reached this point step by step.

However, this was indeed his true thought before.

The grievances between martial arts sects were too many; even as a grandmaster, or reaching the extreme realm, there were causes and effects left behind.

Therefore, he didn’t want Chen Yun to worry excessively and question him over this nor waste words in disputes and explanations.

Hearing this, Chen Yun fell silent. She sometimes doubted whether she had been competent as his elder sister.

Many things were known only through others, without fulfilling her responsibilities.

"Reaching this point... it must have been exhausting, right?"

She suddenly said, not overly elated or proud of the title of the strongest martial artist.

Instead, her eyes rippled like lake water, and a visible heartache showed on her clean and gentle face.

Chen Feng was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised.

The previously calm heart now stirred with slight ripples, an inexplicable emotion rising.

Such words had only been said to him by Chen Yun.

Having reached the peak of the martial arts world, transcending the mundane, indeed experienced much.

However...

"It’s all in the past."

With a slight smile, Chen Feng smiled peacefully.

The usually intense aura quietly dissipated at this moment, even he himself hadn’t noticed this subtle change.

Seeing this scene, his master Li Tong, standing in the corridor outside, shook his head with a smile, finally sighing in relief and walking away slowly.

He knew that his disciple’s skills were too great, and no one could get too close to his heart.

Including himself, there was a slight distance.

Looking across Earth Star, only this last blood relative could gently dispel the ominous aura like gentle rain.

Tap, tap...

As the footsteps faded, Chen Feng pretended not to notice, just smiled and relaxed.

Initially intending to ask about some past events, Chen Yun opened her mouth upon seeing this scene, then unexpectedly smiled, asking no more.

"Xiao Feng has really grown up."

"Hehe..."

The relaxed atmosphere saw the two of them exchanging a few casual words.

During the conversation, the topic touched upon the research project in Red Capital, and Chen Feng took the opportunity to ask out of curiosity.

"I’ve heard that the legendary technology consists of three stages of transformation practice, with rainbow iron as the fundamental support?"

"Yes."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yun still shared what she knew, which didn’t violate confidentiality clauses.

"The legendary technology does indeed have three stages of experimental results, but currently, only the first stage has been fully realized."

"The second stage is still a semi-finished product, and the third stage is also in the debugging phase..."

"But regardless of the outcome, rainbow iron-level metal is needed to withstand the transformation load."

"Oh?"

Chen Feng became interested and seized the opportunity to ask further.

"Is rainbow iron the most sturdy metal?"

"It used to be."

Seeing he did not persist in enquiring about the legendary technology, Chen Yun relaxed and no longer hesitated.

Seeing his curiosity about these details, she quickly slowed her speech and explained in detail.

"Before the advent of legendary technology, rainbow iron was scarce, and the refining technology was extremely complex, making it our top-tier metal material."

"Many warships couldn’t be equipped with rainbow iron, only incorporating a tiny amount, but later, along with the gradual breakthroughs in legendary technology, refining technology optimized subtly increased the amount of rainbow iron."

"However, varying degrees of refining methodology result in differences in rainbow iron’s density and hardness, so the International Metal Association divided rainbow iron into seven standard levels."

"Seven levels?"

Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed, unexpectedly confirming his guess that rainbow iron, like Golden Steel, varied internally.

"This set of standards was first used by the Platinum Federation because Earth Star’s first legendary technology was discovered by them and realized first."

"However, we now have our own legendary technology, somewhat different from theirs, so we devised a separate standard, corresponding to their seven levels."

Chen Yun showed a rare confident smile, as it was the strength of Chi Country.

"Melting Level, Abyss Level, Dome Level."

"Melting Level corresponds to the first three of the international divisions, Abyss Level to four through six, and Dome Level is the seventh level."

"Although not as detailed as their division, the difference within each tier of rainbow iron isn’t very significant...each three levels are a threshold, and the last, the seventh level, is nearly a qualitative change."

The detailed explanation made Chen Feng relieved, comparing it this way.

His current physique and the strength of his steel bones should be equivalent to the melting level Rainbow Iron.

Internationally, it’s between Level 1 and Level 2.

As for the Wang Cheng, their transformed body is slightly stronger, at least Level 2 Rainbow Iron, possibly even Level 3.

"The reason we only divide into three standards is partly because our Legendary Technology has only three stages, and refining technology is the same."

"The second and third stages have not been fully realized because Abyss-level and Dome-level Rainbow Iron are still being refined, and the quantity is insufficient..."

Chen Yun bypassed the confidentiality clauses and discreetly revealed some secrets.

Chen Feng was thoughtful and also understood the implication.

Chi Country’s Legendary Flying General is only in the first stage now, and when the Abyss-level and Dome-level Rainbow Iron are successfully refined, a stronger Legendary Level will surely emerge.

He even suspected that the three stages of the Legendary Level might correspond to the three levels of the Angel Level.

"What about above Rainbow Iron?"

Chen Feng asked.

Chen Yun had earlier mentioned that Rainbow Iron was once the hardest metal.

But now....

"Titanium steel..."

Chen Yun’s eyes were exceptionally bright as she said, "This is a new type of metal discovered with the conquest of Legendary Technology, even a high-level Energy Cannon cannot leave any marks on its surface, nor can a Laser Cannon destroy it."

"Unfortunately, it is extremely scarce, and the refining process is extraordinarily difficult, far exceeding Dome-level Rainbow Iron..."

Perhaps due to confidentiality clauses, Chen Yun did not elaborate further.

Nonetheless, Chen Feng was surprised by the information she had revealed.

Laser Cannon, the most powerful known energy weapon, is the main cannon of warships.

Instantly, he silently noted down the term ’Titanium Steel,’ quickly realizing something was amiss.

"The Divine Generals have existed for a long time, even before the discovery of Titanium Steel."

"Could the Divine Generals be just Rainbow Iron-level transformation devices?"

A trace of doubt emerged in his mind; he felt that what he knew seemed to have a slight deviation.

Based on Han Chao’s previous statements, Divine Generals require several cities to operate day and night to provide energy.

Such a powerful energy device, even Rainbow Iron might be unable to withstand it, right?

He wanted to ask but, glancing at Chen Yun, guessed she might not know either.

After all, Chen Yun was just a member of the Red City Research Institute project group, not a genuine higher-up.

Buzz!!

At that moment, a flying device suddenly approached above the Yanwu Gym.

Sweeping with perception, the words Tianhao Security and Jade Biotechnology were particularly striking.

"Lin Hao?"

Seeing the person arriving, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. A young man in a gray suit stood at the cabin door, waving at him with a smiling face, and behind him, an elderly gentleman-like butler also wore a gentle smile.

Besides, several other flying devices also arrived.

The United Council, Security Bureau, and even the Chi General Guard....

He also saw Chu Shihong, accompanying Chairman Li Yun.

Such a scene puzzled him even further.

Wasn’t the meeting still ongoing? Why did they suddenly come to the Martial Arts Hall?

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he saw the flying devices landing one after another, docking on the still relatively intact gray stone brick plaza.

The buzzing airwaves gradually dissipated, blowing dust away into the distance.

Nearby, several green willow trees continued to sway their branches, as Chen Feng finally suppressed his doubts and walked to the door of the Martial Arts Hall.

"Feng Zi, congratulations!"

Lin Hao walked over with a smile, his face glowing.

Chen Feng frowned, and soon saw Chairman Li Yun approaching.

"Councilman Chen, on behalf of the Yun Port General Assembly, I express my gratitude to you."

"You saved this city."

This time, he wore a dark suit, his gentle face carrying sincere thanks and a hint of emotion.

The Legendary Biological Transformed Person named Nangong Ling came alongside him, dressed in a sharp black trench coat, her face beneath the shoulder-length short hair still somewhat chilly.

"You are very strong, and I admire the decision from above."

She said calmly, then looked around at the reconstructed Nanjiang District, her gaze brushing over the astonished passersby.

"Congratulations."

"If there’s an opportunity, I’d love to spar with you."

The unexpected words left Chen Feng momentarily dazed, and seeing a trace of admiration in her eyes, he felt he might have missed something.

"What, you don’t know yet?"

Lin Hao’s expression was peculiar, seeing his confusion.

Chen Feng shook his head, then saw Chu Shihong smile and come to the side, explaining quietly.

"You haven’t attended the meetings these two days, but the upper levels have been extremely busy."

"Everyone knows, it’s you who saved everyone, holding out until the final support arrived."

"So..."

He didn’t finish speaking, but suddenly there was a roar of airwaves in the sky.

Fighter jets flew in, escorting a flying device.

The red maple leaf emblem was particularly eye-catching, and Chu Shihong’s subsequent words also resonated.

"The Red City’s General Association has concluded the meeting and made a decision."

"From today onward, you are granted the Honorary Major General rank..."
