During the fight, the little green snake suddenly opened its mouth to release a capacitor arrow, which almost no one could defend against.
If one wasn’t enough, then it would spit out several, even hundreds of arrows!
Opening its mouth was like unleashing a rain of arrows!
Besides swallowing arrows, could it also swallow bullets? What about the metal bullets from an electromagnetic rifle? If the Dimension Stomach’s space was large enough, could it even swallow a missile about to explode?
Explosives from Earth were ineffective in the Star Realm, so they switched to purely kinetic weapons.
For example, tungsten rods falling from space, and meteorites!
Of course, swallowing these things depended on the Dimension Stomach being very large, something the little green snake definitely couldn’t do at the moment, and the more powerful the item swallowed, the more dangerous the operation, one careless move and the little green snake would end up killing itself.
All these would need to be tried slowly in the future.
What Ji Xinghuo could think of, Ren Mian and Chi Zhonglin could think of as well.
"The potential of the Star Fall Ability is terrifying, it all depends on whether you know how to exploit it," Ren Mian exclaimed, "However, the Dimension Stomach can only be opened in the Star Realm. Once back on Earth, or even throughout the entire Milky Way, the Dimension Stomach will become ineffective. The items inside won’t disappear, but you can’t put anything in or take anything out."
Ji Xinghuo was stunned, "Why is that?"
"The scientific research results show that the space in the Star Realm is much looser than that of the Milky Way, not so ’solid’, so it’s relatively easy to manipulate space, jump, and travel within the Star Realm," Ren Mian thought for a moment, then continued, "To put it metaphorically."
"The space of the Star Realm is like water; we just need minimal swimming skills to move in it."
"Whereas the space of the Milky Way is like solid rock, even steel, trapping everything within it, forever confined."
"That’s just a rough analogy."
"In reality, the difference between the spaces of the Star Realm and the Milky Way goes far beyond the difference between water and rock, steel, the real gap could be as high as nine orders of magnitude!"
"It’s not just the Dimension Stomach, any Ability involving spatial application is ineffective in the Milky Way."
This was the first time Ji Xinghuo had heard of this knowledge.
Nine orders of magnitude!
That’s a billion times!
Chi Zhonglin also listened with shock, his face showing sudden realization.
He suddenly shook his head, "No wonder! I had heard before that someone in the Star Realm had obtained a treasure that could store items, allowing one to carry a storage space, invaluable. I was thinking, if this kind of storage treasure fell into the hands of an enemy state, and they hid nuclear weapons in it and brought them to Chang’an to drop them, wouldn’t that be the end for us all?"
Ji Xinghuo also felt a wave of fear afterward.
Actually, after acquiring the little green snake, he had thought of this idea.
If the little green snake’s Dimension Stomach was large enough, then put a ten-megaton nuclear bomb in it, and then infiltrate the United States capital, Saint Louis, and drop it from the sky...
The world would be flattened.
"Someone has already tried that," Ren Mian’s words startled both of them, and she chuckled lightly, "Don’t fantasize aimlessly, it’s impossible."
"That’s good!" Chi Zhonglin breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, Ji Xinghuo felt that Ren Mian’s expression was somewhat odd, as if there was more to the story.
At that moment, the little green snake had transformed back into its miniaturized form, and Ren Mian kept feeding it sweets. The miniature iron-arrow green snake was cute, showing no trace of a snake’s ferocity, like a harmless little pet.
As she played with the little green snake, she said, "This iron-arrow green snake is full of spirit and potential; choosing to merge with Alien Coexistence and sharing an Ability with it was a very good choice."
"However, Alien Coexistence is quite rare, hard to come by."
Ren Mian looked at Ji Xinghuo’s hopeful expression and smiled, "Come out with me tonight, let’s try our luck, there might be a gain."
"Thanks, Sister Ren." Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed.
Ren Mian nodded, then left the living room to continue tending to the garden.
"Ji Xinghuo, Zhonglin, noodles are ready!" Jiangnan Caiyi came over with two bowls of beef noodles. She had been listening to everyone while in the kitchen, and seeing the little green snake on the table, she tried to feed it sweets, but it had just been fed several by Ren Mian and was a bit tired of eating.
Ji Xinghuo hungrily ate his noodles and hinted, "Caiyi, it prefers barbecued meat, chicken is the best."
"I’ll make it roasted chicken tonight."
The little green snake understood Jiangnan Caiyi’s words and immediately became affectionate towards her.
Ji Xinghuo asked, "Brother Chi, didn’t you say you were returning to Earth to participate in the Master Ranking Contest, did you succeed?"
"Don’t mention it." Chi Zhonglin looked gloomy, the very mention of it seemed to make even the noodles he was eating tasteless, "There were 16 spots in this year’s national contest, and I ranked 17th, just one spot short, almost pissed me off to death."
The Master Ranking Contest is held once a year, with the Global Martial Arts Association deciding that year’s promotion spots, distributed among the Earth’s nations.
"Try harder next year." Ji Xinghuo could only comfort him so.
"I don’t have time to participate in big Martial Arts competitions, that’s all there is to it." Chi Zhonglin shook his head, his chopsticks stirring around in the noodles.
Ji Xinghuo stifled a laugh.
Winning a national Martial Arts competition, or placing 2nd to 4th in a global Martial Arts competition, would instantly promote one to master.
But this is harder than the Master Ranking Contest, because many masters and even grandmasters participate in the martial arts competitions.
With Chi Zhonglin’s ability, it was almost impossible for him to place.
Chi Zhonglin remembered something, "I met your older brother in Chang’an and delivered your message. He told me to tell you that everything is fine at home and for you to take care of yourself."
"Thanks." Ji Xinghuo felt relieved.
The two men ate noodles, casually chatting.
"Nothing much has happened on Earth lately, just the usual fighting and killing that never stops." Chi Zhonglin knew Ji Xinghuo might not be able to return to Earth conveniently, deliberately mentioning some things happening on Earth.
"If there’s anything trending, it’s definitely Zhao Manying. She led the Emperor Star Team to victory in the national Super League, and just the other day, she swept the competitors at Avalon, winning the global international invitational championship!"
As he said this, Chi Zhonglin’s eyes filled with envy, "The Sword Immortal is truly my life’s idol! Damn, I wish I could have my moment of glory like that someday."
Ji Xinghuo also sighed deeply.
Zhao Manying’s advance to Super Mutant six months ago and winning the national Super League was not a surprise.
But it was unexpected that she would also win the international invitational!
The international invitational is held twice a year, each time in a different city around the world, where the organizers invite the top teams from various countries. The competition is fierce, with the championship prize exceeding two billion Ya Yuan, and its prestige is higher than the national league champions and second only to the Super World Cup held every four years.
Sports leagues are spoken for by achievements.
With Zhao Manying securing two championships, it’s foreseeable that she will win even more over the next few years, and her popularity will skyrocket again, making her a true global idol.
No wonder Chi Zhonglin was envious, Ji Xinghuo too longed for such a life in the limelight!
