Chapter 82 The Ultimate Testing Device!
Thick black smoke, mixed with the smell of burning, filled the large playground of the First Military High School.
The test chamber, which cost hundreds of millions of Star Dollars to build, has now been reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Old Sun shakily raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
"This was definitely not smashed by violence..."
He knew all too well what this meant.
This means that the power contained within this eighteen-year-old boy is so great that this ordinary instrument simply cannot comprehend or contain it!
Old Sun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent emotions churning in his chest.
Amidst the astonished gazes of tens of thousands of people in the audience, this revered national treasure-level master slowly bent down.
With his hands clasped in a fist, the still somewhat immature high school student solemnly bowed to Lin Yuan.
"I am Sun Guofeng, and I humbly request your guidance, young friend."
"Young friend, within that SSS+ level secret realm [Conferred God], what kind of heaven-reaching Dao did you encounter?"
These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The already tense atmosphere was instantly ignited by this one sentence.
Even Elder Sun had to bow and ask for advice!
What kind of incredible fortune did Lin Yuan manage to obtain inside?
Lin Yuan turned slightly to the side, refusing Elder Sun's bow.
Faced with this master of formations' request for guidance, he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"The Great Way is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine."
"I merely... seized a sliver of hope."
Boom!
The moment those words were spoken, Old Sun's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck by lightning.
Sweat instantly streamed down his forehead, soaking the back of his Zhongshan suit.
"Seize...a glimmer of hope?!"
Sun Lao's mind raced through all the fragmentary records about the [Investiture of the Gods] secret realm in the military's top-secret vault.
Just recently, a military think tank released an ancient fragment, "Shangqing Yinqi Pian," free of charge.
The first sentence of that fragment is: Regardless of whether they are born with fur or horns, whether they are born from moisture or hatch from eggs, one can seize a sliver of life and store it in the elixir palace!
Ordinary martial artists don't understand this; they just think it's an ancient martial arts manual with a bit more power.
But Sun Guofeng understands!
The source of that fragment was the Jie Sect, the most powerful and fierce sect of gods in that great world, where all the immortals came to pay homage!
Lin Yuan's words directly revealed the core doctrine of the Jie Sect.
What does this tell us?
This shows that Lin Yuan was definitely not an opportunist like Chu Tianhe, who picked up some scrap metal in the secret realm and flattered a few locals.
He truly joined that terrifying cultivation sect, which even had Heavenly Saints and was beyond imagination!
Just thinking about that sect's terrifying image of moving mountains and filling seas, and a flying sword cleaving through the eternal sky...
The way Old Sun looked at Lin Yuan had completely changed from "looking at a peerless genius" to "looking at a young god walking among mortals".
It wasn't just Old Sun.
Meanwhile, in the underground strategic command center, several kilometers away from the playground.
The top military leaders and experts in the think tank, who were watching the live broadcast on a large screen, fell into a collective silence the moment they heard the words "seize a chance."
"It's him...it really is him!"
One of the chief strategists slammed his hand on the table, so excited that he overturned his teacup.
"Quickly, pull up the previous monitoring logs."
"Based on what he's saying now, the 'anonymous crow' who predicted the defeat of Jizhou and Su Hu's sacrifice of his daughter in the small group 'Ordinary People Mutual Aid Association' more than half a year ago should be Lin Yuan."
The shocking reversal sent chills down the spines of the military's top brass.
And on the viewing platform in this playground.
The wind direction has completely changed.
Those family heads who were originally surrounding Chu Tianhe, or who were showing concern for Liu Ming, the commoner genius who had been tested as a "fourth-level grandmaster", were now gone.
At that moment, one after another they turned their heads.
"Investigate! Immediately use all the highest-level permissions the family has on the StarNet to find out everything about this Lin Yuan."
The head of the Wang family, the wealthiest family in Jiangnan, wiped away cold sweat with trembling hands and growled at his secretary behind him.
"I need the most detailed report on their background, origins, and social connections."
"Two minutes, I'm only giving you two minutes."
Not to be outdone, the Li family patriarch next to him directly used a secret martial arts technique to send orders to the family's elite assassin camp.
"It's said that Lin Yuan came from a commoner background, his parents died, and he only had a younger sister named Lin Xiaoxiao who depended on him for survival, is that right?!"
"Yes, it's in the low-rent housing in the old town." The subordinate's voice echoed in my mind.
"Quickly, bring the family's top-of-the-line 'gene repair potion' and the road pass for that vacant manor villa in the No. 1 core area as well."
The head of the Li family had bloodshot eyes and was breathing heavily.
"No, don't alarm the little girl yet. Send three sixth-tier Grandmasters... no, also bring out the seventh-tier ancestor enshrined in the family, and have them guard the perimeter of the neighborhood where Lin Xiaoxiao lives!"
"From this moment on, anyone who dares to lay a finger on Lin Yuan's sister is declaring war on the Li family. We will spare no effort to kill them, even if it means exhausting all our family's resources."
These are the powerful and influential families who usually hold a high position and control most of the resources in the base city.
He thinks faster than anyone else.
Lin Yuan's current strength and background have far surpassed the scope of "genius".
This is a living god.
Since this god is aloof, it's not advisable to try to win him over directly.
Then they'll take a roundabout approach and elevate his sister, Lin Xiaoxiao, to the highest rank!
If even a tiny bit of the complete version of the cultivation techniques could be leaked from the hands of this "successor of the Jie Sect," their family would be able to remain invincible for eternity in the coming new era of mythology.
At this moment, the Chu family's formation was shrouded in gloom and despair.
Chu Qingtian, the head of the Chu family, slumped in his armchair, his face ashen, looking as if he had aged ten years.
Looking at the young man in the distance, whose mystery was made even more apparent by the ruins.
Then look at his own son, Chu Tianhe, who doesn't even dare to lift his head.
The enormous disparity pierced Chu Qingtian's heart, leaving it riddled with holes.
"Level B identity... a subordinate general of the Yin Shang dynasty..."
Chu Qingtian gave a bitter laugh.
"Our Chu family poured all our resources into this, even going so far as to illegally purchase banned drugs, only to produce this piece of trash who's spent half a year on death row?"
"Fate is cruel, fate is cruel!"
Chu Qingtian's chest heaved violently, and he felt a surge of blood rushing to the top of his head.
With a "whoosh".
A mouthful of dark blood sprayed directly onto the railing beneath his feet.
Suddenly everything went black. This richest man, who had dominated the Jiangnan Base City for more than half a year, was so enraged that he fainted on the spot.
"Patriarch, patriarch, wake up!" The Chu family's order was completely disrupted.
Chu Tianhe, sitting below the stage, looked at his father, who was slumped on the ground, and listened to the unabashed mockery from the heads of the powerful families around him.
That Dao Heart, which was already riddled with cracks, shattered completely with a "crack".
I'm doomed.
From this day forward, we will live in the shadow of Lin Yuan, that all-powerful deity.
He, Chu Tianhe, no longer even has the right to be jealous!
Amidst the clamor and undercurrents,
Old Sun, sitting on the high platform, slowly straightened his back.
"Young friend, the 'Kunlun-IX' test chamber is not accurate in measuring you because this worldly magic array is too low-end and unworthy of the Great Dao you have witnessed."
Old Sun turned around and took out a purple-gold privilege order bearing the seal of the Supreme Command of China from his pocket.
"But today is a historic moment for Chinese martial arts."
"This old man is unwilling to let this opportunity slip by so unnoticed."
Holding the token, Old Sun pressed the red button representing the highest emergency mobilization in the air.
"Sir, what are you doing...?" The military clerk standing nearby was so frightened that his voice changed.
"Today, I, an old man, will invoke the 'national protection privilege' personally approved by the former chief."
"Pass on my order: go to the core secret vault beneath the General War Zone and retrieve that ultimate testing device, sealed away for three years and prepared specifically for the 'Guardian Deity' of our China..."
"Change it!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent.
The ultimate testing instrument prepared specifically for the guardian deities of the nation?
On the entire planet Earth, the only ones who can be called guardian deities are those few old guys at the [Heavenly King] level who have been in seclusion for decades and haven't made a move in a long time!
That machine is usually locked deep underground in the heart of the war zone.
It is said that the core formation on it is a fragment of the "Acquired Spiritual Formation" that Master Sun risked half his life to copy back from that high-dimensional ruin in the Pacific Ocean.
Only the Heavenly King can open this gate!
Today, Old Master Sun is actually going to bring out this national treasure for an eighteen-year-old high school student?
