Chapter 22: Level-Ten Expert

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The huge crisis came to an end with the arrival of Ma Qiusheng and Zhang Tongxuan.

Bai Bing hurriedly went to command the soldiers and started cleaning up the battlefield.

As for Zhao Hao, he had a helpless look on his face, as Zhang Tongxuan’s hand was still holding onto his.

“Thank you for your help, Senior. May I know what level you are at now?”

Ma Qusheng’s eyes lit up as he looked at Zhang Tongxuan in front of him. He was the strongest person in the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, and based on all the existing information in the world, the strongest human was only at level nine.

Of course, there were supernatural beings beyond level nine. Back then in Africa, there had been a level-ten supernatural pharaoh who almost controlled the entire Africa. However, he had been killed by several level-nine experts in the end.

The 23rd Generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu in front of him was so powerful that even he could not identify his level, so of course, Ma Qiusheng asked him about this.

“Level?” Zhang Tongxuan was stunned at first, but then he counted with his fingers. Only then did he come to a realization. Then, he said to Ma Qiusheng, “Based on how you guys categorize your levels now, I should be at level ten.”

After saying that, Zhang Tongxuan waved his sleeve, and the level-eight supernatural being that he had put into his sleeve was thrown in front of Ma Qiusheng.

Zhang Tong Xuan said, “I’ve sealed its ghost energy, so it’s no different from an ordinary spirit now. Just bring it back and report your duty.”

Ma Qiusheng quickly went forward to capture the level-eight supernatural being. He only saw Zhao Hao holding a metal chain that tied up over ten thousand supernatural beings when he turned around.

“Eh? Senior, who is this?” Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan had been holding Zhao Hao’s hand all this time, Ma Qiusheng thought that they were somehow related, so he asked respectfully.

“Captain Bai took him here to help out at the last minute. His special physical abilities had just been awakened not long ago, but he chose to sign a confidentiality agreement. Captain Bai called him over because of the tense situation just now.” The little fatty who had thrown Zhao Hao into the water just now stepped forward and said to Ma Qiusheng.

“Oh, I see. Dezhu, how did you mess with your Buddhist powers? Did a bunch of little ghosts break your Vajra Body?” Ma Qiusheng looked at the little fatty and asked him with confusion.

The little fatty’s real name was Zhao Dezhu. He was a level-five superpowered man who also practiced Buddhist Cultivation Methods, and he was the vice-captain of Bai Bing’s team.

Hearing Ma Qiusheng’s question, Zhao Dezhu’s chubby face turned red. He was a bit careless earlier, indeed. His Vajra Body was only broken by an evil ghost who sneakily attacked his weak point.

Otherwise, he would not have been beaten up so badly even if he confronted a level-six supernatural being.

“Leader, I’m pa.s.sing the chains to you, then. Since the issue here has been settled, I’m off.” Zhao Hao saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he could not go back with the chains in his hand, so he immediately said to Ma Qiusheng and handed him the chain to Ma Qiusheng.

“Well, the issue has been settled. I’ll go back then. Goodbye.” Zhang Tongxuan saw that Zhao Hao handed over the chain, he then immediately bowed to Ma Qiusheng and the others.

After saying that, he immediately flew up and headed toward Mount Longhu.

“Taoist priest, Taoist priest. You can go back as you wish, but please let go of my hand…” Zhao Hao’s figure flew with Zhang Tongxuan toward Mount Longhu. Obviously, the 23rd Generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu was very interested in Zhao Hao.

Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan and Zhao Hao had disappeared into the horizon, Ma Qiusheng looked joyful.

Now that there were more and more supernatural beings, the sudden appearance of a level-ten expert was extremely exciting no matter in which country.

Bai Bing had already led the soldiers to clean up the Dragon-Defying River. She walked over and said to Ma Qiusheng, “Captain, why did you let that old Taoist priest take him away?”

Bai Bing was the one who brought Zhao Hao here, so she certainly had a problem with him being taken away just like that.

“The old Taoist priest is a level-ten expert. If he wanted to take that kid away, how could I not let him?”

Ma Qiusheng could do nothing about it. During his free time, he had already found out all about Zhao Hao, including his performance on the ghost plane, signing a confidentiality agreement, showing his mighty power, and capturing over a thousand supernatural beings earlier.

He was a suitable member of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. However, Zhang Tongxuan clearly had his eyes on that kid, which was why Ma Qiusheng did not say anything.

“But…” Bai Bing seemed to be a little anxious, but she did not know what to say at the time.

“Alright, that kid’s life isn’t in danger. Just call him later, and you’ll know. Let’s call it a day.”

Ma Qiusheng took out a cloth bag carved with scriptures and put the tens of thousands of supernatural beings that had been tied up straightaway right into the cloth bag.

“Captain, what should we do with these supernatural beings? Their evil energies have been sealed. Should we send them to reincarnation?” Bai Bing asked curiously.

“Reincarnation? That would be too easy for them. We don’t know much about supernatural beings yet. There’s always a lack of research materials in this area as it’s too difficult to catch them alive. Now that we finally have tens of thousands of test subjects, how can we let them go?”

Ma Qiusheng looked at the bag in his hand, and an evil smile appeared on his face. Then, he led the members of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad and left the Dragon-Defying River…

…

Mount Longhu

In the forbidden area at the back of the mountain

Zhang Tongxuan and Zhao Hao came inside a Cave Estate.

Zhao Hao’s head spun, and he even felt like vomiting.

The flying speed was too fast, so his brain was severely deprived of oxygen…

“You have quite a good physique, kid. How did you cultivate it?”

Zhang Tongxuan finally let go of Zhao Hao’s hand, but then he patted Zhao Hao’s shoulder. He was extremely curious about Zhao Hao’s strong physique.

“Senior, I was born with such a physique. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first…”

After Zhao Hao recovered, he immediately took his leave. The Taoist priest in front of him had lived for hundreds of years, so Zhao Hao was very scared of him.

He had been using the Cultivation Simulator for days, and he knew that the righteous and evil factions were all the same. When they found out that he had a unique physique, they would try to possess his body.

He felt that this was especially true for the Taoist priest in front of him. He had lived for hundreds of years, and perhaps his lifespan was about to come to an end. Zhao Hao already suspected that he was going to die soon.

“Kid, you don’t have to be afraid. I brought you here just because I wanted to ask you, where did you get that Salvation of Mankind Scripture?”

Zhang Tongxuan had no intention to scare Zhao Hao, so he told him his purpose directly.

There were only a few records of the Salvation of Mankind Scripture in the Taoist canon, but it had been lost. Now that it came out of Zhao Hao’s mouth, of course, the priest wanted to know the truth.

“Uh…” Zhao Hao was speechless. After all, he could not say that he had obtained the talent “Descendant of Taoist Trinity” and the Salvation of Mankind Scripture was just one of the divine skills recorded in it.

“Mm? Do you not trust me, little kid?” When Zhang Tongxuan saw that Zhao Hao looked hesitant, he was instantly displeased. How did he look like a bad person at all?

“No, the Salvation of Mankind Scripture popped up in my mind when I went to the Taoist Trinity Hall to offer incense that day.”

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Hao still changed the story and said to Zhang Tongxuan.
