Chapter 275: Combat Power of a Sage

“Stay here for now.”

Lin Feng’s body shrank rapidly, and finally turned into the appearance of an ordinary person. He flew directly to his second brother, Lin Hai.

“Second Brother.”

“Third Brother.”

Lin Hai was very thrilled, but looking at the motionless robot again, he was a little worried.

At this moment, the Hoarfrost King also flew over.

“Lin Feng, you subdued that robot?”

The Hoarfrost King was still a little hesitant.

“I have taken over its control core. It is currently under my command. The crisis is over.”

Hearing Lin Feng’s affirmative answer, those Metamorphic Realm martial artists could not help but clench their fists and laugh heartily. This calamity was finally resolved.

A smile also appeared on the Hoarfrost King’s face, but he looked at the robot. It was comparable to an emperor-level demon. With Lin Feng added now, it might have the combat power of a Sage.

Would the military seize this robot by force?

The Hoarfrost King did not know, but he knew that this had already exceeded his authority. Even the Five-star Generals of the military were not qualified to deal with this matter.

Only the Nine Sages could handle this matter, but if they did not handle it well, things would probably get troublesome. After all, Lin Feng had the combat power of a Sage, and so did the robot.

But no matter what, now that the crisis had been resolved, humanity had finally avoided this calamity. It could be considered to have been nipped in the bud.

“Hoarfrost King, please send Second Brother back to the Brimstone Base first. I need to deal with the matters in the ruins again.”

The Hoarfrost King nodded. Lin Hai was not stupid. He looked at the huge robot and then at the ruins that had already been reduced to ruins. Naturally, he had some guesses.

Lin Feng was no longer the sickly third brother who needed his protection in his memory. Instead, he had grown into a martial artist stronger than a Meta-divine Realm martial artist.

He might even be comparable to a Sage!

There were certain matters that Lin Feng would deal with himself.

“Third Brother, I’ll wait for you at the Brimstone Base.”

With that, Lin Hai and the others returned to the Brimstone Base under the lead of the Hoarfrost King.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not say anything else. Instead, he led the Destroyer back to the ruins. After all, although the ruins had been reduced to rubble, that was only the upper parts, and the truly important parts of the ruins were all underground.

This ruin was left behind by the third civilization. There were many good things inside. Lin Feng did not intend to let them go.

…

In the military command hall, the three Five-star Generals had already seen Lin Feng deal with the robot through the screen. However, the process was rather intriguing.

“General, the analysis results are out.”

“Report!”

“General, according to the battle scene, we’ve analyzed that the combat power fluctuations between Lin Feng and the robot have already reached the level of a Sage. It’s true to its name of having the combat power of a Sage! However, the spear in the robot’s hand contains terrifying energy. That thrust from the robot had already severely injured Lin Feng.”

“In the end, Lin Feng miraculously defeated the robot and even controlled it. We suspect that Lin Feng possesses methods similar to attack programs. He used a method similar to cyberattack to take over the robot’s control program. Hence, the robot is now under Lin Feng’s command.”

The three Five-star Generals nodded. They all agreed with the analysis of the battle.

It seemed like the ancient civilization inheritance that Lin Feng had obtained was indeed extraordinary. There were even technological methods that could control that robot. If the military had controlled that robot, they might not be stretched so thin.

“General, can we ask Lin Feng for this robot?”

Someone suggested cautiously.

“We were the ones who discovered this ruin first, but we were also the ones who caused trouble first. In the end, Lin Feng came to clean up the mess. When Lin Feng was talking to the Hoarfrost King just now, he did not take the initiative to mention the robot and the ruins. Isn’t his attitude obvious?”

No one was an idiot. The three Five-star Generals knew very well that Lin Feng was going to take over the ruins. All the benefits inside belonged to Lin Feng, and had nothing to do with the military.

In the past, when Lin Feng’s strength was not yet so terrifying, perhaps the military would have utilized some non-conventional forceful methods. But now, Lin Feng had been analyzed to have the combat power of a Sage. Coupled with that robot, that would be the combat power of two Sages.

Hence, the military could do nothing to Lin Feng now.

“Report this to the Nine Sages. No matter what, this crisis has been resolved. Although the robots and ruins did not fall into the hands of our military faction, they are still in the hands of humanity. Perhaps Lin Feng will soon become the tenth Sage among us humanity…”

“The tenth Sage?”

Everyone in the command hall was shocked.

That’s right. Lin Feng had displayed the combat power of a Sage. So what if he had not undergone four life transitions? Was he not a Sage?

With the combat power of a Sage and a robot comparable to an emperor-level demon, Lin Feng was completely qualified to become the tenth Sage of humanity!

Of course, all of this could only be decided by the Nine Sages.

Hence, the three Five-star Generals jointly reported the matter regarding Lin Feng and the robot to the Nine Sages.

…

In the ruins of the seventh civilization, after researchers constantly investigated the situation in the ruins of the seventh civilization, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi had already obtained rather important news.

The seventh civilization was destroyed by an external force!

How terrifying must an external force be to destroy a civilization? Moreover, the seventh civilization was not a weak civilization at all. It was even stronger than the current human civilization.

This news shocked Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi. They had excavated other ancient ruins in the past and even obtained similar news.

“These ancient civilizations that were once powerful have all been destroyed. I wonder when the end of our human civilization lies?”

Sage Kang also looked like he had aged a lot. As the first Sage of humanity called The Pioneer, Sage Kang was whole-heartedly dedicated to the development of humanity.

But now, he seemed to have lost his essence, energy, and spirit. He felt that no matter how hard he tried, it all seemed so futile.

How great would it be if a tenth Sage could be born in human society?

At that time, humanity would not have to be so passive at all. A Sage was enough to change the entire human world, especially now that humanity was developing at an advanced level. An additional Sage could completely change the entire human race.

Unfortunately, after so many years, many geniuses that Sage Kang thought highly of were all stuck at three life transitions. There was no sign of anyone undergoing four life transitions at all, so naturally, no new Sage appeared.

Perhaps there was hope for Dongfang Sheng, but time was needed, and it might still be a very long time. What humanity lacked the most now was time.

“Sage Kang, look at your communicator. There’s good news—wonderful news!”

Suddenly, Sage Yuanyi’s face was filled with ecstasy. He appeared exhilarated. The dignified Sage actually danced like a child.
