I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 384 The Infallible Clone
The adventures on the high seas are mostly spent on boring voyages, and Feng Xue and Fina were no exception after completing their mission. Although they were traveling on a speedboat provided by the Reid family, it would still take two days to return, provided there was navigation and no extreme weather.

Although they had completed the hunt, the two did not let their guard down. Bringing the prey back to the den was also part of the hunt, and no one could guarantee that the Reid family wouldn't take advantage of the most relaxed moment on the return trip to give them a graduation test or something.

With the speedboat going so slow, fishing was out of the question, and Feng Xue couldn't use the Seeker terminal to go online either, so he simply started practicing his boxing in the cabin. He wasn't worried about being discovered by the proctor, since the Xuanwu Cantong Qi martial arts scroll was still in the body-refining stage, and it looked more like calisthenics than martial arts. Even if he was seen, he would probably just think it was exercise to prevent the decline of his physical functions.

"No good, the body tempering in the folk world is still too slow. Although it has the support of blood and qi, it is clearly a level below the Xuan cultivation system!"

Feng Xue felt the progress in his body, but he was still very dissatisfied. According to Xiao Lingdang's calculations, compared to the Xuanxiu system, which can almost infinitely pile up magic power and divine soul, the physical body of martial arts cultivators has a limit. The physical structure of carbon-based primates is like this. Even with the support of extraordinary energy, its foundation has an upper limit. Even if he mastered all the martial arts techniques he had collected from the folk world, his physical strength without any support would only be at the level of a commoner in Terra.

Don't even think about reaching absurd levels like getting your teeth filled by drinking milk or having your arm healed overnight after a break.

At first, Feng Xue had the naive idea that being a little fragile would make it easier to lock in health, but after several rounds of sparring with Fina, he discovered that infinite combos really do exist in reality.

When the difference in physical strength reaches a certain level, even if you can defeat your opponent with just one move, you may never be able to use that move.

Although there was a sparring element between Feng Xue and Fina, and many of their trump cards were not revealed, Fina in this world wouldn't even make it into the third tier!
Compared to his lackluster progress in martial arts cultivation, Feng Xue has made rapid progress in metaphysical cultivation. With the unlimited supply of fish cakes, Feng Xue's vital energy is inexhaustible. In addition, he has mastered the technique of using willpower mixed with vital energy to nourish his soul. His mana pool is entering a transformation phase. Originally, the mana pool required starting with vital energy just to split, but now he can differentiate Yin and Yang and the Five Elements by manipulating his soul.

By the standards of the folk world, Feng Xue estimated that even a small-appetite soul like his should be close to entering the Dao after two more years of arduous cultivation.

At that time, one can integrate magical power into vital energy, nourish the physical body, and complete the second stage of the Xuanwu Cantong Qi.

"In the end, I was still held back by my talent in the divine soul." Feng Xue complained more than once about his worthless divine soul. If he had Yingbao's appetite, he would have entered the Dao long ago. However, from another perspective, even if he had entered the Dao earlier, he might not have been able to comprehend the mysteries of the unity of heaven and man and the innate Qi.

Thinking to herself that misfortune could be a blessing in disguise, Feng Xue turned her attention to Kaguya.

This world has suffered from a lack of land area for too long. Now that the God of the Earth has appeared, even if it only spreads within the Blue Lake Island Chain, it has quickly gathered a massive amount of faith. Kaguya is changing almost every day. It is fortunate that Feng Xue used AI settings to constrain her in advance and unified the perception of her appearance, voice, personality, etc. with "fragments of the earth". Otherwise, it is hard to say what Kaguya would have become.

However, this gives Kaguya a fatal weakness compared to other ethereal gods—

Her AI code resides in a cyber-enhanced magic unit. If this magic unit is destroyed before the Earth Goddess faith is fully formed, Kaguya may collapse and split under the raging faith. This is one of the reasons why this world so desperately desires the Earth Goddess but has never been able to create a god (Note ①).

However, Feng Xue wasn't worried about this problem. She had created hundreds of these magical units, much like how Xiao Lingdang had blessed the entire He Concession's electronic devices back then—her clones were everywhere. Even if all these cybernetic clones exploded, it wouldn't matter. Because the last clone had already been launched into low Earth orbit by Xiao Lingdang using a rocket!

In other words, since the materials are limited, after Xiao Fengling accumulates them for a few more years, Feng Xue will directly launch a Kaguya clone to the moon, making Kaguya a true moon goddess.

Her thoughts were in disarray when Feng Xue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It wasn't a sudden impulse, but rather a feeling that the once calm sea had abruptly begun to surge with waves.

"Bessie!"

For once, Fina, unusually cheerful, stopped humming her little tune. With Sarah's actions, Fina managed to glean the relevant information from the speedboat's dashboard and responded:
"The radar detected nothing unusual, but the hydrological situation is definitely not right!"

"Activate the defense module, open the general channel, and send out the Red family's identification code."

Feng Xue quickly responded. Although he suspected that this was a test from the Reid family, he had to be on high alert regardless of whether it was or not.

Although the sea was rippling, the sky did not show the expected dark clouds. Exclamation marks popped up on the ship's AI, but the two of them stopped paying attention to them, because the culprit had already appeared in their field of vision.

"It's actually a general-class warship... Judging from the figurehead, it's at least a vice admiral!" Fina's eyes showed a hint of worry, while Feng Xue cupped her round face in her hands and began to vigorously rub it—

"Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie..."

After a thorough massage, Fina finally calmed down, and Feng Xue said slowly and deliberately:
"We're not pirates now! We're legitimate members of the Red family, the ruling family of the Blue Lagoon Islands. The Navy won't lay a hand on us! Calm down! Don't do anything irrational! Turn off the weapon modules!"

"Okay...okay!" Fina, having recovered from her panic, quickly got into character and immediately started operating the dashboard.

The examiner, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The appearance of the navy was definitely unexpected. He was really worried that these two hotheads would think it was an assessment arranged by their families and rush in recklessly.

"Fortunately, as long as the navy isn't targeting the family, there's still hope." The proctor thought to himself, and immediately took out his emergency communication device. Although it wasn't related to the assessment, the fact that a general-level navy officer had entered the Reid family's territorial waters without warning was something that needed to be reported.
