Chapter 106: Senior

Thinking, Lin Xu said, “Ye Xuan, do you think your talent can be further improved?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, “There should be a chance, right? It’s just not that easy.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu said, “How about I find some documentaries for you? Since the invasion of mutated beasts until now, there have been quite a few casualties in our China. Maybe watching these documentaries can enhance your talent?”

Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, “That shouldn’t work. Without experiencing it firsthand, how can there be a heartfelt resonance?”

Lin Xu nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. Besides, your SS-class talent is indeed sufficient. I will report it and update your talent coefficient on the Awakened Ones’s Dragon Plan section. It should be open in these two days. You and Mengli should rest up these days and prepare to take on missions once the Dragon section is open.”

“I understand, Dean Lin.”

However, Lin Xu smiled and said, “Why call me Director? Call me Uncle Lin. I’m starting to like you more and more.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan suddenly thought about mocking Lin Xu a bit. After all, when he first arrived at the Magic City University, this director didn’t have this attitude. But upon careful consideration, Lin Xu’s previous life as the Headless War God was quite tragic. Although he had some shortcomings, his overall righteousness remained intact. Therefore, Ye Xuan ultimately chose not to mock him and said, “I’ll still call you Director. If I get too close, how will you repay me the spirit stones in a few years?”

Lin Xu chuckled, “You rascal, fine, suit yourself!”

After saying that, Lin Xu left the office. As he walked further away, he made a phone call, “Old Zhou, where are there the most cultists in the Magic Capital?”

Lin Xu, due to his own talent, disregarded life and death and did everything for the survival of humanity.

Ye Xuan mentioned that he witnessed many people dying around him, which led to his talent improvement. Therefore, Lin Xu was absolutely willing to repeat the process to see if Ye Xuan’s talent could be upgraded again.

A moment later, Zhou Qiang replied, “Where are there the most cultists? That should be Ghost Street, right? But besides real cultists there, there is also a group of fake cultists, dressed in their outfit and speaking a twisted ghost language, pretending to be cultists there.”

Lin Xu paused and said, “Now that our China is so powerful, especially after the rebirth of spiritual energy, all countries are in chaos. Only our China has protected the common people the best and maintained order the best. Our China can be said to be the strongest country after the rebirth of spiritual energy, without a doubt. Yet there are still people who envy cultists and pretend to be fake cultists on Ghost Street?”

Zhou Qiang sighed, “Yes, I can’t understand this either. But speaking of which, old Lin, what’s the use of you looking for cultists?”

Lin Xu had no secrets from Zhou Qiang and directly said, “This kid Ye Xuan’s talent has improved again. He said he witnessed deaths of the same kind on the high-speed train, which touched and stimulated his soul, causing further growth. As a result, this kid’s talent has truly upgraded to SS-class. I’m planning to create another opportunity for him, but of course, the common people of our China must not be endangered because of this. The most suitable option is to target the little cultists. Blood debts must be repaid with blood!”

Zhou Qiang hesitated, “Shouldn’t we look elsewhere? Ghost Street is likely to confuse real cultists with fake ones.”

Lin Xu replied, “So what if they’re confused? Do I need to distinguish? Cultists are evil anyway”

“What do you mean…”

Lin Xu said lightly, “Since they like to be cultists, then treat them as real cultists. Use their lives to help the rising stars of our China improve their talents!”

Zhou Qiang’s expression changed slightly, “Will there be any trouble with this approach? I’m afraid there will be public opinion issues.”

Lin Xu smiled mysteriously, “Don’t worry, I guarantee there will be no mistakes, and there won’t be any leaks!”

The next morning, Lin Xu found Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, the weather is nice today. Why don’t you accompany Mengli for a stroll? You two are already living together, yet Su Mengli is still like a sheltered young lady. I think you need to learn from the cultists. Go to Ghost Street, buy a few videotapes, and observe carefully.”

Ye Xuan immediately asked, “Dean Lin, I feel like you have a hidden agenda, is there a mission? Is something going to happen at Ghost Street?”

Lin Xu was surprised, “You’re quite clever. Yes, according to our speculation, there will be a beast attack at Ghost Street, and a fierce battle will occur. But rest assured, I am prepared. A powerful group of Awakeners will intervene. You just need to go there, gain some combat experience, and ensure your own safety while also protecting others.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll go there early.”

Lin Xu chuckled, “By the way, the mission of buying videotapes is real. You’re too useless!”

Danger lurked everywhere on the battlefield. Ye Xuan thought for a moment and decided not to inform Mengli. Mengli’s strength was still too weak, and if there was danger on the battlefield, she wouldn’t even have a place to escape. On the contrary, Mengli was in a safe environment, and if Ye Xuan was in danger, he could use the Dragon and Phoenix Pendant to escape. While Mengli’s abilities were still underdeveloped, Ye Xuan believed that it was best for them not to enter the same battlefield at the same time. This way, they could fully utilize the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Pendant, escape danger at any time, and ensure their own safety.

Approaching noon, Ye Xuan arrived at Ghost Street and found the group of Awakeners. This organization had many members, mostly older in age, and their leader was an elderly man who appeared to be in his eighties or nineties.

The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, but he exuded a strong aura. He carried a large knife on his back and had a deep scar on his face.

At this moment, the old man furrowed his brow, looking at Ghost Street with muddy eyes filled with some confusion.

Ye Xuan looked at the old man and said, “Senior, I am Ye Xuan, a student of the Awakeners Academy. Our director sent me to carry out the mission with you.”

Upon hearing this, the old man looked Ye Xuan up and down, showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes. “So you are Ye Xuan? The pride of heaven, not bad, not bad. The future of China relies on young people like you.”

“I wonder how I should address you, Senior?”

The old man smiled, “Names are just code names. You can call me Wang Wu.”

Beside him, a middle-aged man explained, “Ye Xuan, Old Wang, the senior, was a member of the Great Sword Team back in the day. His real age has already exceeded a hundred years. After chopping off countless cultists’ heads with the big knife on his back, he awakened his abilities in his old age, became stronger, and reappeared in the world to deal with those mutated beasts and protect the people of China.”

Ye Xuan’s eyes showed a hint of admiration, “In your life, you have chopped off the heads of cultists and mutated beasts. Your life of military service is truly admirable.”

In Wang Wu’s muddy eyes, tears welled up, “How many cultists’ heads have I chopped off in my life, I have forgotten. I only remember that many of my brothers died under the cultists’ weapons. Decades have passed, and my hatred for the cultists has not diminished in the slightest. I wish to eat their flesh, drink their blood, and gnaw on their bones! But now, I have to protect these cultists from the attacks of mutated beasts. If I protect them, I’m afraid my dead brothers will come looking for me in the middle of the night!”
