Just moments ago, Lin Jing had still been shouting arrogantly.Now, he was killed in a single punch by Su Yun.
The scene made Officer Gu's breathing grow rapid.
Damn it.
This was what true talent looked like.
No…Calling it talent wasn't enough.
This was a monster.
What kind of one-star warrior could instantly kill a five-star warrior?It wasn't like he was on drugs.
"What are you standing around for? Deal with the remaining ferocious beasts."
Su Yun glanced at them, his tone calm,as if he had merely done something trivial.
Officer Gu immediately shouted, "Clean up the battlefield!"
Without Lin Jing's control, the remaining beasts either fled or were killed.They posed no real threat anymore.
As the sun set, blood stained the entire area.
Several soldiers had fallen, and Officer Gu's companions were badly injured.Fortunately, Lin Jing had been successfully eliminated.
Under the sunlight, Su Yun let out a soft breath and smiled.
Finally, a two-star warrior.
The spiritual energy inside his body was now clear and refined,like glistening droplets of water, shining like gemstones.
"Your injuries are serious. Return for treatment as soon as possible,"Officer Gu said, comforting the troops."Compensation and medical expenses will be covered by Canglan City."
The soldiers saluted and quickly departed.
Officer Gu turned to Su Yun and smiled."Brother Su, thank you for your help this time."
"Just make sure my merit points are recorded," Su Yun replied casually.
"Don't worry. The Gu family of Dragon Capital would never do something like that,"Officer Gu said with a grin.
With everything settled, Su Yun planned to continue his cultivation.
There were only four days left before the academy selection.
He intended to reach the level of a three-star warrior before participating.
Suddenly, Officer Gu asked,"Are you interested in joining the military… or the Gu family?"
Su Yun stopped walking and silently looked at him.
Was this an invitation?
"If you join the military, military academies will train you.With your talent, you'll be valued within two or three years," Officer Gu said seriously.
"The Gu family would treat you as one of its own,teaching you cultivation methods, combat techniques, even breathing arts."
"Geniuses shouldn't be buried in a remote place like this."
Su Yun glanced at the crimson sky and shook his head.
"I don't like being bound."
With that, he turned and left.
Decisive and without hesitation.
"I'll be in the Ferocious Beast Gorge for a while.We can talk again if you have time!" Officer Gu quickly called out.
Whether Su Yun heard him or not was another matter.
Watching Su Yun's retreating figure, Officer Gu's face flushed deeply.
Not from anger—
but from excitement.
"Damn it! This has to be at least an SS-level talent!"
"No… maybe even SSS-level!"
"After finally finding such a good seed,there's no way I'm letting him go!"
He roared inwardly.
On Blue Star, what was the most precious resource?
Talent.
Especially monstrous talent like this.
Military Base No. 1
After returning safely, Officer Gu was immediately surrounded by reporters.
"Officer, what were the casualties in this battle?"
"Was it you who personally killed the Hybrid Sect member?"
"Could you explain the details of the operation?"
Questions came flooding in.
Officer Gu replied sternly,"Lin Jing has been eliminated. This is the fate of traitors."
Photos of Lin Jing's miserable corpse were uploaded online,sparking intense discussion almost instantly.
After the interview, Officer Gu made a phone call.
Soon, a lazy voice answered, "What is it?"
"Old Wei, inform the instructors immediately.There's an SS-level—possibly SSS-level—genius in Canglan City!"
Bang!
A loud crash came from the other end, as if someone had fallen off a bed.
"What? A place like that has such a genius?" the voice exclaimed in shock.
"One-star warrior, killing a five-star Hybrid Sect member in seconds,"Officer Gu snapped irritably.
A gulping sound followed.
"I'll notify the instructors immediately!"The call ended in a hurry.
At the same time, outside the tent,a soldier narrowed his eyes slightly, took out his phone,and quietly sent a message.
Suppressing foreign cults was nothing unusual in Huaxia.
But because of this single phone call,multiple forces were set into motion.
Dragon Capital, Tianming Academy.
Inside an ancient building,the sound of hammering echoed nonstop.
Heat, pressure, and stifling air filled the space.
"Are you sure Gu Duozhi wasn't lying?"a sharp voice shouted.
A young man smiled bitterly."Master Lin, you know him well. He wouldn't fabricate something like this."
"Last year, the Superhuman Research Institute snatched away a genius.This year, this one belongs to me,"Master Lin declared firmly.
Yang City, Fanhai Academy.
Inside an office, a middle-aged man exclaimed in disbelief,"A suspected SSS-level genius in Canglan City?"
"Immediately. Right now."
"Go to Canglan City!"
Magic City, Shanglong Academy.
"This is nonsense! Do you know how rare SSS-level talents are?"
"What? A one-star warrior killed a five-star warrior?"
"I must verify this personally!"
A stern voice echoed through the building.
In an instant,the once third-tier city of Canglanbecame the center of attention.
Officer Gu was in a terrible mood.
An entire day had passed.
Before he could even find Su Yun to talk about life or ideals,he was intercepted.
A smiling man stood before him.
Around 1.8 meters tall,wearing a light-blue combat uniform,looking energetic and composed.
"Get lost. Don't bother me if you have nothing important,"Officer Gu cursed.
The smiling man sighed helplessly."Gu Duo—"
Officer Gu immediately took out the Iron Brand Talisman.
Say my name again and I'll slap you with this.
"Ahem… Old Gu," the man corrected himself."Tell me about him already. Stop hiding it."
Officer Gu frowned."Rough judgment: Superhuman-type, physical enhancement path."
"Explosive strength, terrifying lethality.Calling it SSS-level wouldn't be exaggerated."
His tone was deadly serious.
The man's expression changed slightly.
He had known Old Gu for five years.This man never spoke carelessly.
"These days, elemental types are more popular.Superhuman types, well…"the man muttered.
Officer Gu sneered."Chen Zaixu, did Superhuman-types eat your rice?"
"I'm telling you, the first awakeners three hundred and fifty years agowere Superhuman-types!"
"Develop your abilities properly,and you can crush elemental types just the same!"
Chen Zaixu raised his hands repeatedly."Easy, easy. I didn't say Superhuman-types were bad."
Officer Gu said nothing more,but bitterness flashed through his eyes.
On today's battlefield—suppressing foreign cults, fighting ferocious beasts—elemental types were the real battlefield weapons.
They were the so-called spellcasters,the ones everyone relied on.
Whether noble families, academies, or military schools,they all pampered elemental users.
At that moment—
A series of loud rumbles echoed outside.
Officer Gu lifted the tent flap, his expression changing instantly.
Outside Base No. 1,armored vehicles and ferocious beast mountswere advancing amid rolling smoke.
Their target was clear.
Canglan City.
Canglan First High School.
Students gathered in small groups, buzzing with excitement.
"Did you hear? All the major families in Huaxia are coming to Canglan City!"
"Did they collectively lose their minds?"
"Apparently, a genius appeared at our school!"
Just then, Liu Qingshan walked over, her long legs drawing attention.
She lifted her chin, pride and confidence in her eyes.
Yet inwardly, she sighed.
"The gap between Su Yun and me is growing larger and larger."
I am a fairy in the heavens.He is mud on the ground.
"Daughter, I told you long ago not to waste time on that useless trash,"Madam Liu said excitedly after hearing the news.
"In a few days, you'll be the most dazzling genius in all of Huaxia!"
