Chapter 1216

"Sigh!" Marshal Xu looked at Su Yang and said, "General Su, you can't afford to have this mindset!"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Marshal, I understand what you mean, but I think I still need a hundred or two hundred years of training before I'm qualified to take your place!"

"A hundred or two hundred years?" Marshal Xu shook his head helplessly, "If I wait another hundred or two hundred years, my bones will be reduced to dust!"

"You'll surely live to be a hundred!"

"Heh!"

That laugh made Su Yang feel awkward.

"Forget it, I won't force you. I'll send someone to summon General Mo right away—you take him to the Spatial Fusion Point."

"Understood!"

Taking Mo Yunjian back onto the floating stingray's back, Su Yang informed Chen Wen of Marshal Xu's orders and prepared to bid farewell to everyone to embark on a global journey.

Su Yang estimated he would become the first person in three hundred years to undertake a global voyage.

"Sovereign Jiazi, the mermaid has reached King-Rank Top-Grade. While I'm gone, you must also improve her strength—strive to become an Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer by the time I return, understood?"

"Sovereign Jiazi understands!"

Sovereign Jiazi bowed deeply.

She meant it sincerely—her recent rapid surge in power had shown her just how formidable Su Yang was.

Even Su Yang's "defection" of the mermaid, she no longer dared to pursue.

After all, Jin Lin the mermaid had no intention of betraying her.

If she became an Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer, she could sign contracts with other Emperor-Rank beast companions; even if Jin Lin the mermaid left, as long as she remained loyal and followed Su Yang, she would still be an Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer.

Su Yang's help and cultivation had saved her countless years!

"Don't bow to me—I'm afraid you'll send me off!"

Sovereign Jiazi chuckled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

She had adapted to the Federation's customs, but sometimes she still couldn't help wanting to bow.

"By the way, General Su, Little Fish has something she wants to say to you!"

"What is it?"

"I don't know. When I asked her, she said she wants to speak with you alone," Sovereign Jiazi said helplessly, waving her hand to summon Jin Lin the mermaid. "Little Fish, say what you need to say quickly! General Su has a mission and may not return for a while."

Little Fish nodded: "Mm."

Su Yang asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"General Su, could we find a room?"

Seeing how mysterious Little Fish was, Su Yang couldn't refuse.

"Of course."

After all, it would only delay him a few minutes.

Entering the room, Su Yang asked疑惑ly, "What's the matter? Can't we communicate mentally?"

"I think it's better to say it face to face."

"Go ahead."

Su Yang sat down on the chair.

"I overheard that the Federation sent General Su to find spatial rifts?"

"Yes!" Su Yang looked at the mermaid in surprise. "You haven't seen one elsewhere, have you?"

The mermaid nodded: "I have."

"What?"

"I've seen them," the mermaid whispered. "I've encountered similar spatial rifts elsewhere, but none as large as this one."

"Where?"

"Above the waters near our merfolk settlement…"

Su Yang let out a long breath, suddenly realizing he needed to change his plans.

For this mission, he might have to bring Sovereign Jiazi along!

He couldn't leave her behind—he couldn't possibly take the mermaid by force.

If he took her by force, the forced contract scroll would be useless!

"Director Chen, I'm leaving. If you run into trouble, find General Mo."

Director Chen smiled, then pulled out a small tube with a mysterious air, rushed over to Su Yang, and lowered his voice: "General Su, this journey is very dangerous, isn't it?"

"It certainly is."

In three hundred years, no one from the Federation had ever traveled to another continent.

No one knew what powerful beasts lurked there.

They might even encounter Emperor-Rank or even Divine-Rank beasts.

Chen Wen raised the tube in his hand: "Interested in leaving behind a sample of your lineage? Our Academy is extremely interested in you—human progress might depend on you!"

Su Yang's face immediately darkened.

"No."

"General Su, seriously consider it—at least leave behind some offspring!"

Su Yang suddenly felt a grudging respect for Chen Wen.

Do scientists really have no fear of death?

Sovereign Jiazi and the mermaid stood behind Su Yang, having heard every word Chen Wen said.

Both of them couldn't help but want to laugh, yet feared angering Su Yang—they were barely holding it in!

Summoning the Storm Eagle, Su Yang lifted Sovereign Jiazi and the mermaid onto its talons, then waved to the others on the floating stingray: "General Mo, watch your safety!"

"General Su, you too—wishing you a safe journey!"

After Su Yang's Storm Eagle vanished, Mo Yunjian could not help sighing, "This General Su—going out on a mission and bringing Sovereign Jiazi along. Isn't he afraid Liu Mengyun will get jealous?"

Chen Wen said quietly, holding an empty tube, "Should we go tell Liu Mengyun about it? Maybe Liu Mengyun will make General Su kneel on a washboard!"

Mo Yunjian glanced at Chen Wen, feeling all along that Chen Wen seemed to bear Su Yang some ill will: "The North is too far."

"We can write a letter!"

"You write it then!"

"I don't have the nerve!" Chen Wen shook his head repeatedly, turned helplessly toward the laboratory, and said, "I'd like to live a few more years… these young people nowadays don't exactly honor the old and cherish the young!"
