Chapter 237: Chapter 113 The Secret of the Shen Family Brothers_2 Chapter 237: Chapter 113 The Secret of the Shen Family Brothers_2 Xu Mo’s progress was indeed terrifying.
The operation of a Mecha was not difficult, but subtle differences in control could lead to significant gaps in strength, even insurmountable chasms.
Truly top-tier Mechanical Masters were rare.
Xu Mo certainly had such talent; his control level, computational ability, and neural response speed were all top-tier, a natural Mecha pilot.
It was only that his own strength was not enough; otherwise, his handling of top-tier Mechas would have been perfect.
“Yes,” Xu Mo nodded.
“Take a rest,” the Old Dean spoke, the Elder who had been listless for two days seemed to have recovered his spirit.
Even, he seemed more vigorous than before.
He could not fall now, he had many things to do.
The Communicator vibrated, and the Dean answered.
“Did you see the message released by Tie Rong?” Dean Nanming asked.
“No,” the Elder shook his head.
“You’re in good spirits,” Dean Nanming said, “He’s accusing you of misusing public resources and privilege, which is the beginning of ruining your reputation and diminishing your influence.”
“Do you think I care about reputation?” Dean Tantai said.

This step, too, had been within his expectations.
“I know you don’t care, but that also serves as an amulet; once they tarnish your reputation, they might force you to act and ultimately take you down, and by that time…” Dean Nanming pointed out the crux, as if foreseeing future events.
“Qingze was harmed; they have already stooped to any means, do they still expect me to be a good-natured fellow?” the Old Dean said sarcastically.
Reputation, he had never cared for it.
A Hero?
“The other party won’t give you any explanation; if they don’t, what do you intend to do?” Dean Nanming asked with some seriousness.
“I didn’t pin my hopes on any explanation, I was just informing them,” the Dean said.
“That’s reckless, even if you don’t consider yourself, think about the Academy Faction, it’s not just about you,” Dean Nanming’s voice grew louder.
“Manage your own granddaughter,” the Old Dean said, before hanging up the Communicator.
The matter involving Nanming Huowu and the young man surnamed Li clearly displeased him.
The young man surnamed Li was using Nanming Academy and Nanming Huowu to create a platform to shape his public persona.
Could the Nanming Family not see through this?
……
The Old Dean was waiting, and so were the veterans of Noah Academy, waiting for the City Government and the Enforcement Bureau to give an explanation.
Of course, they knew an explanation might not be forthcoming.
Then, the press conference that day would serve as a declaration.
He would solve it his own way.
Xu Mo was also waiting.
While waiting, he trained frantically.
With a Source Power Level of B-minus and a Spiritual Power Level of B-minus, he was still too weak.
If he could reach Level B, perhaps his control of Mechas would become more proficient, and his handling of top-tier Mechas more skillful.
Xu Mo created a Source Power Cultivation Room at home with an extremely dense concentration of Source Power; besides cultivating Source Power there, he spent the rest of his time training in the Ruins World, honing his skills through combat.
Xu Mo found that after the battle on Disaster Day, he was extremely exhausted and depleted of spiritual power, but after recovering, his spiritual power seemed to have grown stronger.
After intense consumption and pushing his limits, returning to cultivate seemed to aid in his improvement.
Xu Mo also went to the Super God Arena to kill, however, he did not encounter the female devil.
One day, Xu Mo finally received communication from the Alien.
“Did you find out?” Xu Mo asked after answering.
“Don’t be so power-hungry; let me share something wonderful first,” the Alien said.
“What is it?” Xu Mo asked.
“I’m in love!” the Alien declared.
“Not interested,” Xu Mo responded.
“This is a big deal for me, Young Master, and you’re not even interested?” the alien said sullenly.
“This time, I’m serious.”
“So, you weren’t serious before?” Xu Mo asked.
“I was serious at the time,” the alien said shamelessly.
“But this time it’s different.
The moment I saw her, I fell in love.
And she’s a cold beauty, too; I have to win her over.”
“???”
He hadn’t won her over yet?
“So, are you trying to pursue yourself?” Xu Mo said.
“Forget it, you wouldn’t understand.” The alien didn’t continue.
How could Xu Mo understand?
He hadn’t seen her in person and didn’t know how pretty her face was.
Silver hair, noble, aloof, transferred into the school, and with a mysterious identity.
It was said that her Source Power Fusion Degree was rated SS and her Source Power Level B.
On the first day of her transfer, she completed the Noah Academy SS-level test.
Female devil, what’s that?
Weak!
“I found the information you wanted.
Just a heads-up, be careful with the two people you’re looking into,” the alien said.
“Why?” Xu Mo asked.
“They indeed have come to the Capital, more than once, but there are no financial transactions on record.
They did, however, undergo several body modifications.”
“What do you mean?” Xu Mo asked.
ƝοѵǤᴑ.ƈο
“Complete mechanical conversion,” the alien said.
“Ever heard of the Heart-source Power Device System?”
“No,” Xu Mo responded.
“That’s right, you shouldn’t have.
It’s real alien technology that wasn’t available on Byron Star before.
Now, only the Capital on Byron Star can perform such transformations.
The Heart-source Power Device System, to put it simply, is about implanting a Source Power system inside the body to provide Source Power and modify the body, virtually turning one into a humanoid machine,” the alien explained.
“Is that clear enough?”
“So, they’re essentially mechanical bodies?” Xu Mo said.
“You could say that,” the alien said.
“These Shen Family Brothers are ruthless.
The Li family managed their transformation.
In Steel Dome City, they are inevitably among the upper echelons of combat power.
So be careful.”
“Got it,” Xu Mo said.
“Thanks.”
“Remember you owe me one.
I haven’t decided on the conditions yet,” the alien mentioned before hanging up the communicator.
Xu Mo frowned deeply; the Shen Family Brothers had kept a deep secret.
That day, the teacher’s mecha charged up to Shen Qianzhong, with the energy blade at his neck, yet Shen Qianzhong didn’t move a muscle.
Now Xu Mo knew that it wasn’t because he lacked the ability to fight back.
However, such high-tech from the Capital was bound to cost a fortune.
If the public knew the Shen Family Brothers had undergone such modifications, their image as commoners would completely collapse.
So, the Shen Family Brothers were not after money.
Xu Mo glanced at the communicator then dialed another number.
The call connected, but the other party didn’t speak; no sound came through.
“I am Hunter,” Xu Mo started.
Still silent.
“I’m sorry about that day.
I encountered some issues and was in a bad mood, so I hung up on you,” Xu Mo continued.
“I went to the Super God Arena these past few days, but didn’t find you.”
“I know,” a crisp voice came through.
“So aloof?” Xu Mo thought to himself.
He had indeed been impolite that day.
Having offered his apologies and with the other party declining to say much, he didn’t feel like he had anything else to say.
“Alright,” Xu Mo responded.
“Then I’ll hang up.”
“I’ve advanced,” the voice said again, still sparing with words.
Xu Mo was taken aback.
Was that the reason she hadn’t showed up at the Super God Arena?
The female devil had broken through her Source Power Level.
Even if she went back to the Super God Arena, she would be at Level B.
Such cultivation talent was truly frightening!
If they fought again, he feared he would be miserably defeated.
“You should hurry up too,” the female devil said before hanging up the communicator, causing Xu Mo to wear an odd expression.
Reminding him to hurry, did she want to keep fighting him?
His Source Power Level B reduced him to being unworthy?
