Battle Group Leader Su Lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Lie heard this greeting, he suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a man dressed in a uniform of gold and red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the commander of the Empire’s Southern Line during the Iron Armor War, Marshal Gu Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it had been a long time since, he still remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had never met in person, Su Lie had indeed seen photos of Gu Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and said to Gu Hang, “Are you really out of other options?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you resorted to this sort of thing that has nothing to do with me to try?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he picked up the sword by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Fine Work Dynamo Sword, its purple-gold color unfaded by millennia of frost and winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the pommel was a soaring Phoenix, the first inheritor of the Battle Group’s gene, the first Phoenix, the Emperor’s own offspring, and a jewel crafted with his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a long-held treasure of the Phoenix lineage, an undisputed Holy Artifact of the Battle Group, simply called the ‘Phoenix.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deceiving me with lies, I can see through it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deceiving me with illusions of battle brothers, I can still see through it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you transform into the image of the Divine Emperor to beguile me, it will not shake my resolve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let alone your current form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these words were spoken, Su Lie’s pace quickened, the Phoenix in his hand raised high, and a fierce purple flame surged from the sword’s edge, slashing fiercely towards Gu Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Gu Hang’s figure shattered like an illusion, appearing behind Su Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if prophetic, he swung his sword backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a seemingly thirty-meter distance, the phantom blade of purple fire, like a sword aura, instantly reached Gu Hang’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike indeed caught one off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang’s spiritual energy violently released, forming a psionic sphere, clashing with this ‘sword aura.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, even Gu Hang’s complexion changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought that the so-called sword aura was merely a special ability of Su Lie’s weapon, capable of releasing energy strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed that was not the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its intensity was as powerful as a full-force strike from an S+-level Psychic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy is the extraordinary force of emotion and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this sword aura, Gu Hang could even sense Su Lie’s unwavering determination and mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike, naturally, could not harm Gu Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, though currently in Subspace, they were quite distant from Gu Hang’s power source—the Storm God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power being unable to transmit meant Gu Hang was not at peak strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Hang could withstand Su Lie’s strike, it was far from comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With difficulty, scattering it away, in a blink of an eye, Su Lie was already in front of him, the Phoenix Blade in his hand slashing down with brilliant flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang shouted while resisting with spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally experiencing firsthand the combat power of a top-level Interstellar Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous concept, Matins and the former Battle Group Leader Erso of Furyflame were the most top-tier he had seen in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in front of Su Lie, those two were inadequate, with significant differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle Group Champion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this title no longer suffices to describe Su Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, facing such a top-tier warrior, Gu Hang had a sense that when his spiritual energy was applied to him, it would be countered by another spiritual force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang could confirm that Su Lie did not possess any spiritual energy powers; he should be a pure warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, beyond his incredible physical strength that exceeded ordinary humans and even Interstellar Warriors, top warriors like Su Lie also possessed terrifying mental will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The role of mental will is not only that they are not defeated by difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cannot overlook that in this universe, mental will itself is inherently powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strong, tenacious spirit naturally comes with a formidable psionic potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why if Interstellar Warriors are trained to become Psychics, or so-called ‘Think Tanks,’ they often become more powerful than mortal Psychics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they do not become Think Tanks, or are said to lack ‘psionic talent,’ the strong willpower of Interstellar Warriors grants them substantial psionic resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ordinary Interstellar Warriors, this might not be very obvious, but once one reaches the level of a veteran, it becomes a bit different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The psionic force that can crush ordinary mortals might only be a strong shockwave on a veteran Interstellar Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for a Sergeant, Sergeant Major level, it would take the kind of power that can crush a Lion Tank to psionically kill a Sergeant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the rank of Company Champion, it becomes even more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the level of a Battle Group Champion…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>regular spiritual energy becomes almost ineffective against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for Gu Hang, dealing with a Battle Group Champion in one-on-one requires significant effort—of course, effort, not impossibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when strength reaches another height, like with Su Lie’s so-called ‘Emperor Champion’ level, even Gu Hang finds it difficult to control him with spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he currently cannot borrow the power of the Storm God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Gu Hang was not only resisting the sword aura slashed by Su Lie but also trying to use spiritual energy to create a force field, attempting to bind Su Lie for some proper communication between the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>",933,"2026-06-05T14:29:29.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","96055b11b055b88308d7806987aeb13d9d1d5519687356d96c08649d5e96babb","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1170","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1168",1694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-the-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
