Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: He’s Not My Boss
At this moment, Yang Chen felt a sense akin to the saying: "The one I long for is across the water."
Immediately, Yang Chen stepped onto a boulder and jumped onto the boat.
Ye Xin, with a shy and blushing face, glanced at Yang Chen, embarrassed to say anything further.
Professor Song, however, showed great respect towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen inquired, "What were the findings of the investigation?"
Discussing a topic in Professor Song’s area of expertise, he appeared quite excited and said solemnly, "Based on some of our tests, we’ve found that there is a significant attractive force in the deep well... hmm... describing it as an attractive force might not be entirely accurate. It’s rather like a kind of magnetic field, or gravity. Anything entering the well is pulled downward by an attraction force greater than usual. Whether it’s metal utensils like gold, silver, copper, iron, or non-metal items like plastic, wood, stone, even live fish, none can escape. Moreover, the deeper you go, the stronger this force becomes."
Yang Chen furrowed his brows, looking at a heap of various ropes strewn by the bedside, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying there’s a vortex in the well?"
After all, when Ye Xin described it to Yang Chen initially, she mentioned a vortex pulling them in at the time.
"No, no, no!" Professor Song hurriedly said, "It’s not a vortex! This situation isn’t caused by a vortex, and we haven’t detected any internal currents. This phenomenon is purely an attraction force, akin to a universal gravity that affects all things. As long as you’re within this deep well, regardless of what you are, you’re drawn in and fall into the abyss!"
Yang Chen fell into deep thought.
Ye Xin approached, took Yang Chen’s arm, and consoled him.
"According to the professor, the oxygen level in the well is quite high and there’s also a significant attraction, which is probably not simple. Anomalies suggest something unusual. Maybe there’s room for a turnaround," Ye Xin said, looking at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was hesitant to speak.
Ye Xin having such an outlook was good as it meant Yang Chen didn’t have to worry about her condition.
As the tide had yet to rise, Yang Chen instructed Professor Song to continue his research.
Hearing this, Professor Song, feeling as if pardoned, eagerly led his team to further research and sample.
Regarding this deep well, Professor Song had become somewhat obsessed. He had never seen such a peculiar sea cave. If this could be thoroughly studied, his scientific standing could reach world-class levels, and the research results would shock the world.
Of course, the results might very well require confidentiality, but Professor Song didn’t care; as long as he could study the deep well, fame and fortune didn’t matter!
Yang Chen and Ye Xin watched for a while before leaving.
Both of them were seasoned on the battlefield, well-versed in military tactics, and adept at combat and assassination, but when it came to scientific experiments, they found them quite daunting.
After sending Ye Xin back to rest, Yang Chen sought out Purple Cultivator.
After explaining the situation to Purple Cultivator, he frowned, "You’re saying you want me to train these martial arts experts from the Yun family?"
Yang Chen waved his hand, "They’re not really martial arts experts, at most just those in the Martial Arts Realm."
"But..." Purple Cultivator was still concerned. After all, when they were trained by Yang Chen, they didn’t come into contact with any martial arts or cultivation techniques but achieved their bodily limits purely through rigorous physical training.
Now being asked to train those who already possess great physical conditioning and tremendous strength, he felt unsure.
In the Guard, they believe in physical prowess; the one with the greater power wins, and the one with greater power is listened to. Not to mention, these martial cultivators hold high status.
But Yang Chen was unconcerned, saying to Purple Cultivator, "You’ve cultivated to the Mid-stage Innate with the technique I gave you, right?"
Purple Cultivator nodded slightly.
"Then there’s no problem! Train them confidently!" Yang Chen said, smiling.
Now that Purple Cultivator had reached Mid-stage Innate, it meant he possessed the cultivation level of the Divine Realm Martial Arts. Handling some junior guards with Martial Arts Realm cultivation was no issue.
"But... the loyalty of the Yun family people..." Purple Cultivator worried more about the loyalty of those from the Yun family.
They didn’t want to painstakingly train a team only to end up with a bunch of turncoats.
Yang Chen chuckled, patting Purple Cultivator’s shoulder and said with a laugh, "Go find Sun Yue. You’re someone I’ve trained, and Sun Yue was trained by Ye Xin as a top agent. If the two of you together can’t cultivate their loyalty, then..."
Yang Chen left his sentence unfinished, simply smiling, patting Purple Cultivator on the shoulder, and turning away.
Purple Cultivator naturally understood Yang Chen’s meaning.
What Purple Cultivator and his fellows excelled in was the art of killing; otherwise, they wouldn’t have established a name like Asura Hall internationally. Even the mere mention of Purple Cultivator’s name could stir a huge uproar.
Everyone in Asura Hall stands atop the pinnacle of global sect influences.
Their achievements are due to their brutal training and high-intensity methods.
As for Sun Yue... having a background as an agent, their specialty is solving and completing various issues and tasks while keeping their identities hidden. They excel in intelligence work.
When it comes to cultivating loyalty...
Isn’t every agency wary of enemy spies and double agents?
So, in terms of loyalty, Sun Yue is an expert.
Both working together can surely forge a formidable, capable, well-disciplined, and unfailingly loyal Lingyun Team!
Since this was an order from Yang Chen, Purple Cultivator was determined to complete it!
Immediately, Purple Cultivator found Sun Yue in the base.
"Comrade Sun Yue!" Purple Cultivator thought it over and opted for this address, thinking it was relatively normal for colleagues in the Flame Country to use this form of address.
Sun Yue glanced at Purple Cultivator and said indifferently, "What’s the matter?"
"An important task is assigned to you!" Purple Cultivator said solemnly.
"Task?" Sun Yue put down their work, stood up, and looked at Purple Cultivator, "Did our boss assign me a task?"
"Uh... no..."
"Then who?"
"It’s from our boss, Yang Chen."
Sun Yue immediately rolled their eyes and said to Purple Cultivator, "Why do you think I should listen to him?"
Purple Cultivator, gritting teeth, said, "Please cooperate!"
"Cooperate?" Sun Yue sneered, "Why do you think I should cooperate with your tasks? Is Yang Chen paying my salary, or is he my boss? Why would he have the right to assign me tasks? If you want me to work, let our boss issue the orders!"
If not for Ye Xin’s disappearance at the time, and later Ye Xin’s memory not having recovered, Sun Yue wouldn’t have followed Yang Chen’s orders at all.
Now that Ye Xin’s memory returned, Sun Yue wanted nothing to do with Yang Chen, even for a second. Yang Chen wasn’t their boss, and they didn’t work for Yang Chen!
