The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 642 Attack (Part 1)
There are nearly 900 base towers in the inner circle. Base tower number 759 is practically useless. Although it has the name of the base tower, it has no real impact on the overall battle situation. At most, it can only be considered a sightseeing tower.

However, this place was also garrisoned, with a certain amount of weaponry and equipment; there were 126 people in total, no more, no less. Jiang Hui and his group of four wouldn't have dared to break through the gate without their mechs.

However, it was Jiang Hui who made the move, and they also had a mecha button that was about to finish its cooldown period, which gave them a lot of room to maneuver.

However, the only thing to be careful about is that this outer tower might be connected to a larger group. If there are other people above it or it is connected to other main towers, their actions here will inevitably alert them.

To avoid this situation, Jiang Hui came up with a solution: to use a mental field to isolate this area and temporarily "block" all mental connections before taking action.

Others might not have the mental strength, but she did. On Atlantis, she once tried to use her mental strength to shield herself from the Swamp False Alligator Turtle in an attempt to avoid its attack, but she only managed to maintain it for a few stars before failing on the spot due to her lack of experience.

However, it also proved to be feasible. Later, she discussed it with Huan Xian, who believed that her mental strength possessed a flexibility and malleability that ordinary awakened individuals lacked, which enabled her to achieve this level.

However, if a longer period of shielding is to be maintained, continuous training and changes to the output method are required.

This approach sounds highly improbable. Mental power with exceptional plasticity and flexibility is extremely rare in reality, and the shaping and expansion of mental power itself requires a massive reserve. Even a single planet might not possess just a handful of such individuals.

Others who want to train lack two main advantages: first, the necessary resources and the required mental energy output; second, the lack of suitable methods. Mental energy is inherently sensitive, and haphazard training can cause irreversible damage. Therefore, there is currently no standard method for increasing mental energy in interstellar space. Generally, only powerful families or factions may possess secret methods for training mental energy, but their effectiveness is quite limited. Otherwise, high-level mental energy experts would be everywhere.

Jiang Hui wasn't a genius, at least she didn't think so, but she did have a truly genius friend. With his help, even without using so-called secret techniques, she gradually began to explore the essence of spiritual power and effectively utilize it.

Huan Xian's mental strength is truly exceptional. He claims to be S-rank, but judging from Jiang Hui's ever-growing mental strength, he's far beyond S-rank. His mental strength is like a deep pool, unfathomable and bottomless.

However, his and Jiang Hui's mental energies were one of the few that did not clash. Unlike Huan Xian's unconscious control over most people's mental energies, Jiang Hui's mental energies were rarely desensitized to him and were rarely affected. Furthermore, his perception of emotional fluctuations was almost non-functional with Jiang Hui; he could only sense some of it when Jiang Hui's emotions fluctuated and became somewhat out of control.

After his last interaction with the other party, he did learn to accept and trust his own abilities. This was evident in the fact that when his mental energy intersected with Jiang Hui's, he showed less instinctive defensiveness and control. It can be seen that he has gradually learned to precisely control his aggression, and he will likely be able to control it freely soon.

In short, after some thought, the two of them actually managed to come up with a rather unique method that could effectively shield a certain area's spiritual power for more than twenty star points, and even longer if the patient was in good condition.

Jiang Hui will tentatively estimate twenty star points. He doesn't know if twenty star points will be enough, but it has to be enough. As long as they take down the person who made the decision, that's enough. They can slowly clean up the rest or take it one step at a time. Anyway, they came empty-handed, so at worst they can retreat in defeat. In the end, they won't lose anything.

Tower number 779 was a pitiful little thing that had been overlooked. Jiang Hui and the others were right; it wasn't an independent tower. There was someone controlling it—a leader who controlled over a dozen towers. This leader had nearly two thousand people under his command, and these were just a tiny fraction of them, assigned to this location.

Although they joined the team, they didn't really know anything about the leader known as "Xi Lai," only that he was a domineering and all-powerful commander.

In the past, during the several star regions that occupied the inner perimeter, the opponent used extremely strong tactics to quickly seize control of several bases, and then expanded outwards, eventually developing into this scale. He is considered one of the more powerful forces in the inner perimeter, with several commanders of the same rank above him.

However, these people were irrelevant to those on the 759th tower. Most of them were of average strength and had joined the team for peace of mind. As for their actual strength, that would be a stretch, since those who were truly capable wouldn't be assigned to guard this remote corner.

However, thanks to the control panel, Xilai still maintained a certain degree of control over them and wasn't worried that they would rebel in this distracted corner. No one expected to encounter a ruthless character like Jiang Hui.

They were outnumbered and outgunned, but she single-handedly... no, it was four of them surrounding over a hundred people. That's pretty absurd—

Of course, if Jiang Hui heard this comment, she would probably laugh it off, because she was determined to turn this far-fetched idea into reality.

Just as night fell, darkness descended, and the last rays of the setting sun were about to fade. As the last glimmer of light disappeared below the horizon, the forest was about to be completely enveloped in darkness.

During the day, it's fine; with bright sunlight, the surrounding forest doesn't feel particularly special. However, as night falls and darkness takes over, the forest nestled among the trees and rocks gains an air of the unknown and mystery.

Because it is located in the forest, the base tower itself is not equipped with many lighting devices. There are only fixed light outlets around the perimeter and inside, but there are not many. It is obviously not enough to keep watch.

Therefore, night patrols were still necessary, while most of the others retreated into the tower to rest and prepare for potential attacks. After all, the forest at night was the most likely place for accidents to happen, and also the best time to strike.

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens; sure enough, someone attacked under the cover of night.

However, the people resting inside the tower were unaware of just how terrifying the arriving enemy was, even though their numbers were only a fraction of theirs...
