Chapter 178: Outside the Federation City
Liu Xiang and his entourage followed Li Mengqiu out of the runway and walked out of the waiting hall to a large building.
Li Mengqiu asked the students in the class to wait outside, and called Liu Xiang to walk in.
Liu Xiang saw that Li Mengqiu just called him alone, and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Li, what are we going to do?" ”
Li Mengqiu kept at his feet, and replied casually: "This is the Earth Exit Comprehensive Management Office, and the plane gate is jointly controlled by 33 countries, and documents are required to enter and exit." You haven't been outside of the plane, so you have to get an access pass first. ”
"Cai Lincheng hasn't been outside the plane either! Doesn't he have to handle it? Liu Xiang asked suspiciously.
"He doesn't have to do it, his grandfather is one of the 8 senior martial artists in Huaguo, and his direct descendants enjoy special treatment, your treatment can actually be higher than him, after all, you are the personal disciple of Lord Nangong Jin, but Lord Nangong Jin hates this so-called special treatment system, and Xiaoxue never enjoyed it back then."
"Is it difficult to get an admission permit?"
"It's not difficult for us to handle it, just call up your file and test your strength again. Unlike those small and medium-sized countries, the admission permit also needs to be reviewed by the five federal councilors. Li Mengqiu smiled proudly and replied.
"What are the five federal councilors?" Liu Xiang asked suspiciously.
Li Mengqiu said as he walked: "Although the Earth Federation formed by 33 countries outside the plane is said to be jointly managed, the five major powers are the ones who are really in power. The five federal councils are China, M, Maoxiong, France and Tianzhu. We are in the top spot for the time being, and we are in charge of most of the authority, but there have been some signs of instability in the near future. ”
"Well, I know this, there is another grandmaster in country M, so I am a little nervous!"
While talking, the two came to the Huaguo office of the complex, which was not small, with dozens of windows open at the same time, and there was a long queue in front of each window.
Liu Xiang glanced at it roughly, and knew that most of these people should be social martial arts cultivators, and it seemed that the recruitment policy outside the plane was not small.
Li Mengqiu did not let Liu Xiang go over to line up, but took Liu Xiang through the hall to the side door.
There were two soldiers standing at the door, Li Mengqiu showed his ID, and the two soldiers saluted and let them go.
Liu Xiang followed Li Mengqiu into a small hall, and there were many fewer people here, who didn't look too old, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
"This is the VIP hall, which is specially set up for the junior martial arts cultivators and university martial arts students who are stationed outside the plane all the year round. You go to the queue to do it. Li Mengqiu said softly.
Liu Xiang nodded, walked to a window and lined up, there were only two people in front.
Within a few minutes, it was Liu Xiang's turn, Liu Xiang stepped forward and submitted his ID card as required, then filled in the information as required, and received a list and returned to Li Mengqiu.
"Let's go! Go test your strength. ”
Li Mengqiu led Liu Xiang into another door, and a huge space appeared in front of Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang followed Li Mengqiu to a tester and handed over the list just now.
The staff glanced at Liu Xiang and said with a smile: "The strength is good, he is a junior senior martial artist at such a young age." Let's get ready to start the test of a junior senior martial artist. ”
Liu Xiang was just about to nod, but Li Mengqiu on the side suddenly said: "He has the ability to leapfrog the level, you can use the spirit to take a look again." ”
Liu Xiang looked at Li Mengqiu suspiciously, not understanding why he had to say so much about getting an access permit.
Li Mengqiu saw Liu Xiang's question and explained: "It is said to be an access permit, but in fact, it is also called a proof of strength, outside the plane, strength is supreme, and there is a big gap in welfare benefits. ”
When the staff heard Li Mengqiu's words, they took a look at it again.
"Intermediate senior martial artist? Hey? I can't see the realm anymore! The staff stood up suddenly, what is the situation, I can't see the realm, there is only one reason why I can't see the realm, that is, the strength realm exceeds him by more than 2 levels, he is a senior senior martial artist, and if he surpasses him above level 2 or more, he is at least an intermediate martial artist!
How is this possible, the list clearly says 17 years old!
"He has a special physique, and his realm looks chaotic." Li Mengqiu said to the staff with a smile.
"Oh! Oh! I said? How can the realm change back and forth? The staff said with a sigh of relief. Hua Guo has cultivated so much, and he has occasionally met some people with special physiques in the past few years of work, such as natural divine power or something, so the strength proof cannot be positioned according to the realm of cultivation, but the realm is chaotic and has never seen it.
"What level of combat power do you have?" The staff sat down and asked with a smile.
"It's probably between an intermediate great martial artist and a senior great martial artist, I haven't tested it specifically, and I can't be sure." Liu Xiang thought for a moment and replied.
"......" The staff smashed their mouths, and they were a little stunned for a while! What is the concept of a 17-year-old intermediate martial artist or even a senior martial artist? I've never heard of it, this kid can't be a fool, right?
"After that, you have to take a strength test, but you have to be blacklisted, if you don't pass the test, you can't apply within a year!" The staff reminded.
Blocked for a year? Liu Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Then the intermediate martial artist, anyway, it is one level worse, and the treatment is not too bad." ”
Seeing that Liu Xiang was serious, although they didn't believe it, they still lowered their heads and wrote the intermediate martial artist on the list.
"You take the list and go to the Great Martial Arts Test Area to find a tester to test." The staff member reached out and handed out the list.
Liu Xiang took the list and thanked him, and went to the Great Martial Arts Test Area according to the instructions, Li Mengqiu did not follow, and stood at the door and waited quietly.
The Great Warrior Test Area was not tested at this time.
The test officer in the test area glanced down at the list and found that it was an intermediate martial artist, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Xiang in surprise.
"Let's start testing! Use psionic energy to attack a power test target 40 meters away, and the power reaches 30,000 kilograms. The test officer said casually.
"Huh! My realm is not an intermediate great martial artist, and my spiritual energy is not that far away. Liu Xiang said embarrassedly.
"Oh. Leapfrog combat power! Then test the 30-meter target, but the power needs to reach 36,000 kilograms. After all, attack range is also a type of strength. ”
"Huh! I'm not a junior martial artist, and my spiritual energy is only about three or four meters away. ”
The "......" tester was stunned, three or four meters away? Isn't this the level of a low-intermediate senior martial artist? Did you meet a stupid boy who reported his strength again?
"Can you test it without psionic energy? Three or five meters is not interesting. Liu Xiang asked with a smile.
"Yes. However, the power must reach more than 43,000 kilograms to be considered the standard of an intermediate martial artist. The test officer raised his eyebrows, and he had already recognized that Liu Xiang was reporting his strength indiscriminately, and he didn't care about replying.
Liu Xiang nodded, walked to the strength testing machine and stood up.
I haven't tested the specific strength either! Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't meet the standard? Liu Xiang thought about it for a while and decided to go all out.
Liu Xiang looked at the strength tester in front of him, his body was slightly sideways, and a trace of fist intent burst out, and a faint sound of thunder sounded.
Fist intent can not only suppress the opponent in terms of momentum, but also increase part of the attack power. Since he had to use all his strength, his fist intent would naturally burst out, and if it weren't for the fact that the murderous realm didn't increase the intensity of his attack, I'm afraid Liu Xiang would also show it.
There was a loud "bang" that frightened the personnel in the other test areas, and they all looked over.
I saw that after Liu Xiang's punch, a line of numbers was marked on the display screen above the strength test target.
67,602 kg!
The tester blinked, unable to respond for a moment.
67,000 kilograms, not to mention the standard of an intermediate martial artist, this has already exceeded the strength standard of a senior martial artist, and he has actually comprehended the fist intent!
How is this possible?
"What realm are you?" The tester asked, incredulous.
"Junior Senior Martial Artist."
The tester calculated in his mind that the psionic power of the junior senior martial artist and Liu Xiang's pure physical strength canceled each other, and came to the conclusion of the senior martial artist.
The strength has surpassed that of ordinary high-level martial artists, but the level of psionic energy is low, and it cannot attack from a distance.
The tester came to the spirit, 17 years old can reach this level, I have never heard of it.
"The space is limited, so the long-distance speed will not be tested, now let's test the agility speed." The tester stretched out his hand and pointed to a piece of test columns more than 1 meter high, irregularly arranged and said: "There are 100 test columns, you have to turn on all the test lights on the column in 12 seconds, and then turn them all off, note that the test lights are just plastic products, and ordinary people can break them with a little force, so you not only have to complete it within the time limit, but also ensure that the test lights are in good condition." ”
Liu Xiang couldn't help frowning slightly, it was not difficult in terms of speed, after all, with his current physical fitness, his reaction ability was almost a hundred times more than that of ordinary people, nothing more than in a space of tens of meters, within 12 years, he had slapped the test light 200 times, Liu Xiang recognized it to do it.
But with his strength of tens of thousands of kilograms, he can only control it at 1/10,000, is this the legendary tiger sniffing roses?
Liu Xiang thought about it for a while, and understood the reason for such a test, speed is directly proportional to strength, and the faster the speed, the greater the power. And this reverse test method can perfectly reflect the degree of control of martial arts cultivation over their own strength, the combat power of a martial artist is not only reflected in speed and strength, but also superhuman control ability is also part of strength.
Liu Xiang took a deep breath, held his breath and adjusted his physical state, and with the order of the test officer, Liu Xiang's body turned into an afterimage and rushed into the test column.
After a few breaths, Liu Xiang returned to the test officer.
"Huh! That just advanced this morning, and the strength is still uncontrollable! Liu Xiang said to the tester embarrassedly.
The test officer was dumbfounded and speechless as he looked at the nearly half-broken test lamp.
The agility test is difficult, 12 seconds is the test standard for intermediate martial artists, and generally the test lights are broken no more than 10 to meet the standard, but how to calculate if this shot is broken almost half?
The tester looked up at the display hanging above the lamppost test area, and the 8.33 seconds figure was staggering.
Just looking at the speed, Liu Xiang's test standard is once again far beyond that of an intermediate martial artist, even a senior martial artist rarely has such a speed, but this control...
The tester took a pen and wrote the words "Quasi-Intermediate Great Martial Artist" on the agility column of the record sheet.
The strength of a martial artist is not only reflected in strength and speed, but also in control, which is too low, and it is easy to use old moves, so that the opponent has a chance to take advantage of it.
Unless speed and power are at their limit, control can be ignored.
Liu Xiang's strength and speed are undoubtedly extreme in terms of his realm, but if he takes an intermediate martial artist as the standard, the gap is not too outrageous.
The tester thought for a while, lowered his head and wrote the intermediate martial artist on the strength positioning column.
"Go to the window and get the proof of strength! Your overall strength has reached the intermediate level of the great martial artist, and if you have unique combat methods or superb martial arts and think that you have higher combat power, you can conduct actual combat tests outside the plane. The tester reached out and handed over the list, smiling.
Liu Xiang took the list and thanked him, turned around and walked to the certificate window in the distance.
The test officer looked at Liu Xiang's back and was silent.
He was shocked! A 17-year-old boy has reached above the standard line of a senior martial artist in terms of speed and strength, if he is given a period of time to adapt to the soaring strength, what an amazing demeanor this young man will show! A 17-year-old senior martial artist? The tester thought that he was almost 50 years old, and he was only an intermediate-level martial artist, and he couldn't help but feel emotional!
When did such a demon appear in my country!
Liu Xiang came to the window, handed over the materials, and after some operation by the window staff, handed over a silver-white card with a photo to Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang took the card and started it slightly cool, it seemed to be made of metal, and it was stronger than steel to the touch.
The card not only has Liu Xiang's avatar, but also Liu Xiang's nationality, name and strength level.
Liu Xiang took the proof of strength and walked quickly towards Li Mengqiu.
"Done?" Li Mengqiu asked with a smile.
"Hmm. Intermediate Great Martial Artist! Liu Xiang nodded back.
"Not bad! When your strength goes further, you can test it again outside the plane, our combat martial arts cultivation is different from auxiliary martial arts, outside the plane is the place where strength is supreme, looking at the real combat power rather than the realm, some people even if the realm is an intermediate martial artist, but if the strength is not enough, they can only enjoy the benefits and treatment of the second level. ”
"What are the benefits and benefits outside the plane?" Liu Xiang asked puzzled.
"Talk as you go." Li Mengqiu motioned for Liu Xiang to follow, and said as he walked: "Outside the plane is not completely militarized management now, after the human race completely controlled the safe zone ten years ago, the policy of mandatory service for life has changed, as long as you serve for more than three years, you can retire, and after retirement, you can work and live freely outside the plane, and you can also return to the earth." Of course, it can also be transformed into a professional soldier.
People are not machines, it is impossible to serve for life, not to mention inhumane, and a long fight with monsters alone will be devastating.
This is not without precedent, the first batch of people who invaded outside the plane, there are many people who have been fighting with ferocious monsters all year round, too many relatives and friends have died in battle, and they have experienced too much cruelty, and finally have a mental breakdown, even if they are as strong as a martial artist.
In order to ensure the stability of the army, in order to attract more strong people to stay in the army, China took the lead, and the federation issued a hierarchical welfare system, in addition to the basic benefits equal to the job, there are also corresponding benefits for the level of strength.
Take the sale of cultivation resources as an example, the higher the strength level, the higher the discount, take your current strength certificate of great martial arts as an example, as long as you join the army or hang a military registration, the discount for you to buy resources in the state-run resource store is 9% off!
This kind of treatment is also common in schools, and now our school's credits are already discounted by 5%, and you can get another 9% discount on this basis.
Of course, you can't enjoy it now, only when the sophomore year begins to audition, the students of the glory class can automatically join the military and enjoy the treatment. Martial arts students in other classes can only enjoy these benefits if they officially join the high-level troops after graduation. ”
Li Mengqiu told Liu Xiang while taking Liu Xiang out of the federal general office.
Gathering the students waiting outside, the group walked towards the plane gate.
After a series of inspections, the group finally came to the plane gate several hundred meters high.
Liu Xiang squinted his eyes at the plane gate in front of him, which was like a black hole covering the sky and the sun, and wanted to see the high plane through the gate, but unfortunately the plane gate could not see anything else except black.
"Let's go inside!" Li Mengqiu walked into the pitch-black light curtain first and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone followed and walked into the gate of the plane.
Crossing the plane gate, Liu Xiang was in a trance, and a huge square and a queue of neat soldiers of different skin colors appeared in front of Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang also felt it in an instant, the pressure of the twelve times that Lei Xiaoyu said, and even the breathing was much more difficult than the earth, Liu Xiang took a step forward tentatively, and the gravity on his body was much heavier than the earth, as if he was wearing a thousand catties of weight.
Liu Xiang couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that only a martial artist could survive outside the plane, and a junior martial artist in the high plane was equivalent to an ordinary person on the earth.
The level of armament on one side of the high plane is much higher than that on the other side, after all, the plane gate is the last line of defense on Earth.
Li Mengqiu led everyone in one direction, and Liu Xiang's sharp eyes found that there was a flag of Huaguo fluttering in the wind in the direction of progress.
Glancing around, I saw that as far as the eye could see, there were flags of different countries fluttering in all directions.
"Outside the plane is shard governance?" Liu Xiang turned his head sideways and asked Lei Xiaoyu next to him.
Lei Xiaoyu replied as he walked: "Almost! The city we are in now is called the Federal City, which is the largest city outside the plane, governed by all countries in the world, after leaving the Federal City, all directions are divided into the territories of various countries according to their size, and the direction of our Chinese flag in front of us has been extended to the territory of our Chinese country, and our Chinese country now accounts for one-fifth of the entire security zone! ”
"A fifth? Is it because of the Big Five? And what about other small countries? ”
"No, only China occupies the largest, the second-ranked country M accounts for one-seventh, the hairy bear country is smaller, the French country and Tianzhu country are not even half of our Huaguo, and the rest is the territory of other small and medium-sized countries." Lei Xiaoyu said proudly.
"Each country has its own rule? So what if the country in a certain direction can't resist the monster attack? Didn't that go straight to the door of the plane? Liu Xiang said worriedly.
"That's why we have the City of the Federation! This city is not smaller than our Huaguo Shendu, nearly half of the troops of all countries are stationed here, and the territory of each country is radiated out with the plane gate as the center, forming a similar circular security zone, the deeper you go into the security zone, the narrower the territory, and the more countries on both sides can support nearby. ”
"But there are still times when you can't stop it, the year before last, there was a beast tide on the Canadian side, and a few grandmaster-level monsters appeared, and the Canadian country couldn't resist it, and retreated to the federal city."
"I also participated in the battle to defend the city, many people died, one of our 9 senior martial artists was sacrificed, and I almost didn't hold it, but General Wang Dashan used a forbidden move, so I barely dragged a grandmaster-level monster until I waited for reinforcements." Lei Xiaoyu said with a sigh on his face.
"I know about this, Wang Dashan's predecessors have taught me a practical lesson." Liu Xiang sighed and said.
While speaking, Li Mengqiu led everyone out of the giant square and got on the three psionic buses that had been waiting for a long time.
After everyone got into the car, the three psionic buses walked along the mainland and in the direction of Huaguo's territory, and Liu Xiang looked at the surrounding scenery along the window.
The Confederation City is different from the cities on Earth, with a distinctly military architectural style, and all kinds of buildings are extremely defensive in nature, looking a little thick, like a giant fortress.
The most important thing is that all kinds of buildings are generally lower than those of the earth, and Liu Xiang has not found a building more than 100 meters after looking at it for a long time.
The bus moved forward slowly, and Liu Xiang asked impatiently, "How can this drive so slowly?" There are not many cars on the road. ”
"It's slow! Outside of the world, the power of the psionic car is not as good as on Earth, and it is good to have the current speed. Lei Xiaoyu explained.
"It's so slow, it's better to run faster!" Liu Xiang said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, you'll have to run away soon." Lei Xiaoyu smiled.
In fact, the speed of the Lingneng bus is not too slow, about 50 kilometers per hour, mainly because there are not many vehicles on the road, the slower it is.
Liu Xiang came to the front of the plane for the first time, and he had a great curiosity about everything, leaving Lei Xiaoyu and Cai Lincheng behind, and ran to the front of the bus alone, looking ahead along the front windshield.
The bus drove for a while, and a black shadow appeared in front of Liu Xiang's eyes.
As the bus got closer and closer to the black shadow, Liu Xiang finally saw what the black shadow was, a huge city wall that I don't know how high it was in the distance, Liu Xiang looked left and right, and the city wall couldn't be seen at a glance.
No wonder the buildings in the city are not very high, it turns out that all the building materials are used here.
Liu Xiang slipped back to Lei Xiaoyu and asked, "What is this exaggerated city wall in front of?" ”
"The Wall of Hope, built around the Dimensional Gate, is 276 kilometers long, 312 meters high, and 432 meters wide.
This wall is the last line of defense of the plane gate, inside the wall is the joint military base of various countries, and outside the wall is the real federal city. Lei Xiaoyu explained.
The city wall is getting closer and closer, Liu Xiang poked his head out of the window, and the closer he got closer, the more majestic he became, as strong as Liu Xiang was not close, and he felt small!
