Chapter 101: Li Yixiao (Part 3)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
A call regarding the appearance of a cla.s.s C went straight to the capital. The message was sent higher and higher up, and those members of the heavenly network who had witnessed it personally had no idea how high up the authorities the report got to.
The sudden appearance of a cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner was much more serious than what they thought initially.
The only people within the heavenly network stronger than a cla.s.s c were the seven heavenly kings. The last remaining heavenly king was a trainee who was still a normal person.
To summarize, a cla.s.s C would be weaker than seven people but stronger than hundreds of thousand others. Which was to say, the seemingly controlled society had churned out some potentially uncontrollable problems.
In reality, men of Luo Cheng’s heavenly network felt it hard to forget the day’s events. They experienced the pure power of an awakened metahuman, his strength and potential were immense. Even the act of awakening, for him, seemed much easier than anyone else. In the face of death, even after sustaining many injuries, he could activate his potential to trigger an awakening.
A cla.s.s d pract.i.tioner who risked his future to summon a sword could not kill that metahuman. Instead, this strength-based metahuman was suppressed by an unknown person who appeared out of nowhere.
The shock that came with this news was not something which could be forgotten after a day’s sleep.
Such a situation did not occur anywhere else. Instead, it happened at the heart of their organization’s strategic foundation, Luo Cheng. Which was why this could not go unnoticed.
Where did this cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner come from? What did he want? No one knew. They had no clue what the bright cloak, which was hiding that person’s ident.i.ty, even was.
They had absolutely no clue to finding this person.
The heavenly network started researching on the people who stayed in the vicinity on its system. They also started to filter through surveillance recordings. After all, this person seemed like he appeared from thin air…
Surveillance was not done well in the small city of Luo Cheng. Many old drivers knew that even the cameras on street lamps could not capture car license plates at night. Only those cameras with bright flashes and high-resolution lenses could do it.
And below w.a.n.g Cheng bridge was a cl.u.s.ter of construction infrastructure. Slightly north of it was void of any important infrastructure as well, which was why there was nothing from surveillance cameras, no clue at all.
It could be seen that this person was extremely cautious. If the wall was not accidentally destroyed, he probably would not have gotten involved in the event.
Even after getting involved, he had absolutely no yearning to battle. Logically, a cla.s.s C had no reason to be afraid of the members of the heavenly network there. But he left as soon as the battle was over.
In a small alley of the capital, 60 meters underground, a meeting was taking place. Nie Ting sat in the center with his eyes closed and deep in thought. s.h.i.+ Xuejin sat silently on his left.
In the country, the seating was of utmost importance. The leader would, of course, sit in the middle, while the one on his left would be of extreme importance to him.
Who would have thought s.h.i.+ Xuejin, a normal person, would rank so highly in the heavenly network?
A fatty a few seats down laughed, “Let me go to Luo Cheng and be in charge. Anyway, the remains would be commencing soon and no one knows where to start from. It seems like Luo Cheng would be the most probable place. There mustn’t be any setback there.”
Nie Ting opened his eyes and replied calmly, “Let’s not discuss this first. You guys have seen the report. This event was not related to Li Xianyi. This person has huge power and fits the description of a cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner. What do you guys think? Have we left out any important people, family lines or inherited skills in the civilian world?”
Actually, the point of this meeting was not to discuss how dangerous a cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner was. What was important was how this cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner got his skills, was it inherited? No one wished for the situation to get out of control. With so much authority in their hands, the heavenly network did not wish to be threatened by any other organization and would want to remain in control.
“The world is so big. There are always talents and gems hidden in the midst of our people, it’s no surprise if we really did miss out any family line of inherited skills.” the fatty replied, “I guarantee. Let me go to Luo Cheng, there would not be any delays to the research for the remains.”
Nie Ting’s face was expressionless. As cla.s.s Bs, it would be extremely hard to take them down by brute force so within the heavenly kings, all of them had a strong mindset and perspective of their own.
“Li Yixiao. Since you are so unwilling to stay in the capital, you may go,” Nie Ting rose and walked towards the door, “But don’t ever think that you can misbehave and do whatever you want after leaving the capital. Don’t forget your ident.i.ty.”
“I know I know,” the fatty said, laughing it off.
In reality, the heavenly network’s structure was very special. In a normal organization, new recruits usually had to go through certain tasks and trials before being promoted. By the time they reach the top, they’ll be calm and wise through all of the training.
It was different in the heavenly network.
Each of the heavenly kings was not government official before the dawn of the magical era, which was why they had big egos and poor temperaments far from that of government officials. The government had always thought that the heavenly network was a double-edged sword. Poor usage of it could lead to more harm than help… Luckily, there was Nie Ting.
And even more so, everyone abided by the basic rules.
But how long could this last? No one knew.
In the past, it was worrying to send a cla.s.s B to look over a certain place as the long periods of time without supervision would lead to the cla.s.s B succ.u.mbing to other temptations. But on the other hand, if the cla.s.s Bs had to be kept in a cage, what good were the cla.s.s Bs for?
It was time to let them go have a look. As Nie Ting thought at this juncture, his eyebrows finally relaxed. In this chaotic world, there was no perfect plan.
After the meeting, fatty Li Yixiao ran over to s.h.i.+ Xuejin and laughed as he grabbed onto his shoulder, “Your brother, I, can finally leave this cage. As for information regarding Luo Cheng, how powerful is Li Xianyi exactly?”
s.h.i.+ Xuejin replied slowly, “Stronger than you.”
“I know that. He’s an experienced senior, it’s normal for him to be stronger than me. Do you have any more information?” Li Yixiao took no notice of s.h.i.+ Xuejin’s insult.
“Be careful of this cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner,” s.h.i.+ Xuejin thought for a moment before advising.
Li Xiaoyu was slightly appalled, “Even if he’s at the peak of cla.s.s C he wouldn’t be my match. I have nothing to worry about.”
s.h.i.+ Xuejin sighed softly, “He’s too young.”
In reality, who wouldn’t leave any trace behind after appearing? By the way Lu Shu spoke, as well as the sound of his voice, there were ways of identifying him.
From his tone, the content, and sound, the person was likely still a teenager. So the way he spoke was very submissive and evasive.
There was no need to fear a cla.s.s C. But a young cla.s.s C with an immense future? That called for some worry, what if one day he became a cla.s.s B?
…
In fact, Lu Shu knew about his own state. At his current state of celestial strength, he could only execute that move on his sword once…
And the reason the heavenly network mentioned that his physique fit the description of a cla.s.s C pract.i.tioner was because the celestial map was too powerful.
If he really had to go up against a skilled cla.s.s C, there were a million ways he could die.
Lu Shu made sure the coast was clear before removing his celestial cloak. After all, this cloak was very eye-catching in the dark…
As he got home, Lu Xiaoyu was lying on the sofa and using her phone. She was not even watching the television, her eyes glued to the screen of her phone, worried that she might miss Lu Shu’s call or message.
She might have left without Lu Shu, but that did not mean that she didn’t worry about him.
Lu Shu gestured his hand towards her and said silently, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to a place and see if you can gain anything from collecting souls.”
Lu Xiaoyu confirmed that there was no injury on Lu Shu before calming down. She then looked at Lu Shu suspiciously, “You said that this morning as well when you brought me to catch pigs…”
