The group felt relieved about the ruthlessness of the mission objective, as it wouldn't mentally burden them.
"After we land, I'll check the background of 'Hamburg'." Turquoise Pool contemplated the next step of the plan.
"Then I'll call Phoenix and the Witch, pretend to be Xia Country college students on a trip, and see if we can find 'Hamburg's address. If she stays at a hotel, we'll stay at a hotel too." Li Qianxia said.
This wasn't Earth under Li Changzhou's rule; otherwise, the commotion just now would be enough to have a lot of company players descend to investigate.
The game didn't assign them identities, but with their strength, they didn't need identities.
However—
Before the boat reached shore, the mission objective directly transferred from the yacht to a private yacht heading to the port.
"This is..." Li Qianxia was stunned, "Could she be heading back to Japan directly?!"
"Probably." Yang Qinglan watched the yacht disappear into the distance.
Being cautious is good, but being excessively cautious left them security personnel struggling to keep up.
"Brother, quickly use Qinggong to float on water!"
"Float your head." Li Changzhou said, "Turquoise Pool, you and Qian Xia go find Phoenix, Xuan Nv, and the others, and then bring a boat over; Qing Lan, Chang'e and I will pursue her first."
"Okay!"
At crucial moments, no one wasted time talking.
Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Chang'e dodged the tourists' sight and found the opportunity to dive directly into the water, darting through it like arrows.
Yang Qinglan and Chang'e's clothes clung tightly to their bodies, their long hair flying in the water, so beautiful it was like a dance performance.
The target yacht hadn't yet left the port and was moving slowly, the trio caught up quickly.
When they surfaced, both were slightly out of breath; although physically equal, their control of breath was not as adept as Li Changzhou's.
Li Changzhou glanced at them, confirmed they were fine, then focused his attention on the deck.
But images still lingered in his mind of their clothes clinging close, curvaceous and alluring.
Without mana, it was difficult to restrain the seven emotions and six desires, such moments even lead to distraction despite the counterparts being Yang Qinglan and Chang'e.
In a snap, all three shook the water droplets off their clothes.
They listened for sounds on the deck, asserted no one was around, and exerted themselves simultaneously.
Yang Qinglan and Chang'e spun gracefully like light flights, their movements mesmerizing.
Li Changzhou performed wide, sweeping gestures, embodying the essence of 'dragon stride tiger step', with a reckless aura; landing without sound, representing the highest realm of martial arts mythology: hidden but powerful, inner peace, outer ferocity.
Yang Qinglan pointed behind Li Changzhou, then behind Chang'e.
Li Changzhou and Chang'e nodded, the trio split up.
Li Changzhou moved left, Chang'e went to the right, Yang Qinglan lightly leapt to the second deck.
Though previously repelled by Li Changzhou, possessing the Heavenly Road player's qualities likely meant the opposition already regrouped, lurking again on this yacht.
Confident in his martial strength, Li Changzhou dared not relax his vigilance... what if the enemy had ten people wielding twenty AKs?
A master of a million mana dying at the hands of an AK could become a historical event.
But this is value gaming, where brute force is least significant now.
Those with high martial skill are valued not for their force, but for the variety of qualities demonstrated when acquiring such strength.
Now everyone had a unified physical body, whoever could excel in other aspects would continue down the Heavenly Road.
Li Changzhou was exhilarated.
He feared no challenge.
◇
Germany, Hamburg.
Hong Ge unlocked the door, entered the apartment; in the living room, four people were watching television, where a politician was elucidating the importance of breaking free from reliance on foreign trade.
Three people were chatting on the balcony.
He stepped over the landlord's corpse, entered the living room.
"Failed?" A kind elderly lady in the living room asked.
"Yes." Hong Ge nodded, his severed arm's bleeding had been stopped through muscle control.
Even with one arm severed, he remained unfazed, as if it were someone else's body.
"How was the opponent's strength?" A robust man asked.
"Very strong." Hong Ge reminisced about the underwater scene, "Only the 'Transformation Master' among us could rival him."
"So strong?" Everyone frowned.
"What's your guess on the opponent's appearance? Any insights on the possible race?"
Hong Ge shook his head, "The water was murky, I couldn't see clearly, but I've recorded his physique data, a simple comparison will reveal him."
"Go have 'Doctor' check it out, and ask 'Transformation Master' to craft you a new arm." The elderly lady said.
Hong Ge turned around and left the living room, heading to the second floor.
Just at the stairway, the three people on the balcony walked in, "The target has left the port."
"Hong Ge, pick up 'Doctor' and 'Transformation Master', discuss your injury on the road." Everyone stood up, for a moment, the living room seemed to erect a thick wall.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The sound of rotors echoed outside, the helicopter hovered slowly outside the balcony.
"Why did you find such a heap of junk?" The older lady slightly complained.
"Be content, don't demand too much from the elderly." The helicopter pilot was a tank top-clad woman, youthful in appearance with a slender figure.
Aged: precisely two thousand ninety years today.
"High-tech equipment easily exposes our identity." The copilot, a child, chewed bubblegum, holding a notebook playing a war game analogous to Red Alert.
As he maneuvered the mouse, a swarm of drones deployed.
Some climbed onboard the helicopter.
The others rode sports cars.
"Is the boat ready?" The elderly lady sat in the driver's seat of the sports car, revealing a young person's excitement.
"Grab it yourself upon reaching the coast." The tank top girl pulled the control lever; the helicopter slowly turned, ascended, flying towards the port.
