Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 741

Chapter 738: The Imperial Guards were also alarmed

After everyone was released by Gu Hang, the two hundred-plus members of the Psychic Order had their minds divided.

The exchange ended.

It ended countless times faster than expected.

Some, like Margaret, were completely disheartened.

Her illusions that Gu Hang’s strength might only be a Strong S+, and that the battle reports from the front were all exaggerated and watered down, had been completely shattered.

The reality that she had most feared and refused to believe, that Gu Hang was a controllable Alpha-class psyker,

was now starkly revealed to her. At the same time, she could clearly sense that in a place like the Psychic Order, where transcendental power is paramount, Gu Hang’s immense psychic prowess was a significant asset. This alone was enough to secure the devoted following of many instructors.

Not to mention the support of local powers.

The wealth of Governor Gu was no secret on Holy Terra. The bold promise to the tax bureau of 13 trillion in tax revenue over ten years truly astonished many. Is

the Alliance truly so prosperous and wealthy?

Could the rumors circulating on Holy Terra about the Alliance being a utopia, a beautiful world, all be true?

For the Order of Psychic Power, 13 trillion—anything slipped through the cracks—would be enough to live comfortably.

Unfortunately, according to the Holy Terra government’s usual practice, they wouldn’t get much in a year.

But if Gu Hang were the leader, he could simply skip Holy Terra and go directly to the wealthy.

Would he want to skimp on his own people’s food?

He had both power and wealth…

After all this comparison, even though many secretly suspected that Dou Zhao’s foolish proposal was Gu Hang’s idea, it was now difficult to object.

What chance of a comeback?

None.

“Forget it, didn’t we already plan to leave the Order of Psychic Power? That’s it.”

While some were gloomy, others were naturally happy.

Ni Xun had certainly been among those assaulted, but after the shock, he was pleasantly surprised. He had heard rather alarming words from his teacher about a ‘new chancellor,’ a truly outrageous claim.

But now, after experiencing Gu Hang’s power firsthand, he wouldn’t dare call him the new chancellor; at least he was incomparably, immensely more powerful. He perceived Gu Hang as a towering, insurmountable peak, the psychic energy he emanated boundless and immeasurable.

He seemed to see the dawn of a new era of glory for the Order of Psychic Power.

He met Gu Hang’s gaze with fervent intensity, about to say something, but Gu Hang spoke first:

“Everyone, although this exchange today was brief, I feel I still have something to express. I propose that the psychics of the Order of Psychic Power meet with me once more. This time, form a psychic array and be fully prepared.”

His voice was calm and steady, yet it was like a boulder dropped into a tranquil lake, instantly stirring up waves.

The psychics fell silent.

No one was injured in the previous exchange, Gu Hang’s powerful control ensuring this.

Everyone fully appreciated Gu Hang’s strength.

But… forming a psychic array? That would significantly increase their power, something they’d only do during inter-ship battles.

However, with the previous experience behind them, no one dared to be careless.

Dou Zhao and Ni Xun agreed without further comment.

With them leading the charge, the others were left speechless.

I’m truly sorry I couldn’t satisfy Master Gu Hang just now.

Now, it would be nice to bring all my strength, even in a completely advantageous position, to have another “communication” with Gu Hang.

He also wanted to see if he could push Gu Hang to his limits.

Margaret’s eyes, which had been lowered, suddenly lifted, a flicker of anger in them.

So arrogant, huh?

Over two hundred top-tier psychics forming an array, so what if they were controllable Alpha-level psychics?

That wasn’t a matter of skill.

Just now, Gu Hang had used his immense psychic power, combined with controllable means, to defeat them one by one.

But facing the array, it was like facing a single individual.

Their sheer size could crush an Alpha-level psychic!

Arrogant? Then I’ll teach you a lesson!

While it might not change the outcome, she felt it was enough to vent her anger.

Forming a square formation, their psychic energies blended and synergized, unleashing a force greater than the sum of their individual parts. It would surely penetrate Gu Hang’s seemingly impenetrable defenses, allowing him to sense the Order’s heritage and dignity.

As the psionic phalanx faced Gu Hang once again, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if the very air itself would freeze. The psionicists each exerted their powers, pooling their psychic energy. Light shimmered within the phalanx, and waves of energy surged toward Gu Hang like a surging tide. The multicolored light intertwined and entwined, forming a vast vortex of energy. From within this vortex came a faint, deep rumbling sound, like the roar of a great beast in the Warp.

It had been a long time since Holy Terra had seen such a concentration of psychic energy. Even within the Order’s most advanced communication venues, the surrounding veils were already pulsing red.

But the psionicists had no time to react. Led by Dou Zhao, this time, the Order’s psionicists launched the first attack on Gu Hang.

Gu Hang remained calm, slowly raising his hands. The space around him began to warp and distort, and tiny arcs of electricity danced around him. At first, these arcs danced joyfully around him like nimble spirits. But as the psychic phalanx’s attacks intensified, the number of arcs increased dramatically, merging and converging, gradually forming a glittering electrical grid. Currents raced through the grid, crackling and snapping like a swarm of angry wasps fighting off an incoming attack.

The Psychic Order had some real substance; at this point, Gu Hang had truly demonstrated his prowess.

It wasn’t like his earlier, playful sparring.

The two sides remained deadlocked, and for a moment, the entire arena was bathed in a radiant glow of psychic energy.

But that was all.

Suddenly, Gu Hang roared to the heavens, and the sky suddenly shifted. Dark clouds gathered like a raging black tide.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the flickering lightning like eyes peering down upon the world.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning as thick as a dragon snaked down from the depths of the clouds, gleaming with a dazzling purple-white light, like a peerless divine weapon, hurtling straight towards the psychic phalanx.

Under the impact of the thunder, the radiance of the psychic formation shattered like a fragile eggshell!

The psionicists were staggering from the powerful impact, some even turning pale, their heads pounding.

This time, Gu Hang didn’t hesitate. He displayed his power recklessly, even if it meant minor injuries. He achieved

the perfect balance of bewilderment without causing any damage.

The lightning that shattered the formation didn’t dissipate, but instead formed a glittering pool of lightning behind Gu Hang.

Arcs of electricity danced and flickered within the pool, and in a trance, the psionicists present seemed to see a world of lightning drifting behind Gu Hang. Gu Hang might be a mere mortal, but within the Thunder Nation, he was a god, as if he were omnipresent.

Only then did the psionicists, recovering from their shock, realize with astonishment that the shielding curtain surrounding the communication field had shattered.

Hundreds of golden rays of light were approaching at lightning speed from the horizon.

Even the imperial guards were alarmed.
