As Ren Zhong's shuttle was just breaking through the atmosphere of Source Star, he received a communication from Ying Hao.
Ying Hao expressed confusion over his actions and asked what exactly he intended to do and what about the mobilization meeting scheduled for the evening.
Ren Zhong was prepared for this; he used his health issues as an excuse, stating that he needed to undergo some solar radiation treatment in a zero-gravity environment, thus explaining his sudden departure.
Ren Zhong told Ying Hao that he was now a High Rank Level Eight Mechanical Warrior, preparing to advance to Level Nine, and also intended to adapt early to space combat.
Ying Hao found this somewhat incomprehensible.
With a great battle imminent, how could a commander pursue personal strength?
