In the surveillance room, the discussion about Xu Tian made everyone’s expressions become obscure.
The small collective led by Governor Zhou Weiren of Da Peng City cast dangerous glances towards Xu Tian.
By contrast, the two representatives from the Judiciary looked utterly calm.
No one could help but doubt Xu Tian’s intentions for speaking out at such a time.
But, undoubtedly, Xu Tian’s poor excuse had aroused the antipathy of the pair.
“Xu Tian, you are part of the Judgement Place, not the Tribunal. Your duty is to carry out assignments, not to investigate. If Pei Jinye truly is guilty, Star Ring would have already sanctioned him, not here listening to your nonsense—understand?” said the tall Judiciary representative to the left with a cold voice.
Xu Tian’s eyes flickered, seething with embarrassment and anger.
At that moment, it was as if an outsider, Mr. Han, slowly started to speak:
“Today, regarding all of Pei Jinye’s performances, all present personnel must sign a confidentiality agreement. You must not divulge any information before getting confirmation from headquarters, or I will pursue legal responsibility according to the law.”
Although he did not turn to look at Xu Tian,
Xu Tian understood that half of Mr. Han’s words were meant for him. He could feel angry about the Judiciary representatives, but he dared not show any irregularity towards a giant like Mr. Han, only managing to nod silently in agreement.
Twenty-one minutes to complete the second assessment, and this second assessment was of special difficulty.
Such record-breaking talent was absolutely indescribable with mere pale words.
The more it was so, the more Xu Tian felt certain there were profound secrets hidden within the person named Pei Jinye.
Memories flashed through his mind.
Their first meeting on the light rail.
Then the following two tailings—
Until being halted by a mysterious person from the Bronze Association with a “shoot to kill” order.
Xu Tian knew that his relentless pursuit had caused the other party’s displeasure, but the more it was so, the more curious he became about that young man named Pei Jinye… How could an ordinary person grow to such extents!
He bowed his head, his face completely obscured by the crowd.
The Illusory Realm.
A torrential rain poured down, hitting the ground and forming a massive curtain of rain.
Pei Jinye sat on the ground, with an area of around one meter around him separating him from the heavy rain, quietly watching it fall.
He did not know how long he had been watching.
Under the blooming Holy Lotus, he witnessed all the facets of spring, the blazing sun, and the torrential rain… The changes of nature unfolded before him, scene by scene.
An epiphany grew within his heart.
He did not know how much time had passed.
Gradually, a line of text appeared before him.
[Four Seasons Talisman, Spring Chapter: Beginner 0.1%]
The next second.
A Blood Lotus bloomed above his head.
The first of the Twelve Lotuses, opened!
Rumbling Vitality surged, reminiscent of a mighty river’s rush, an unprecedented power erupted from within Pei Jinye.
“Whoosh”
“It’s a pity the time spent comprehending the Spring Word Art was a bit short… However, this assistive mental method is indeed very powerful.”
“Four Seasons Spring Word Art… Could there also be Summer, Autumn, and Winter Arts?”
Pei Jinye exhaled deeply, suppressing the doubts deep in his heart.
When he awoke from his comprehension, the figure in the sea of fire had already vanished.
He stood atop the great wheel.
He was completely unaware that the dark, red giant sun rising in the sky was now a lot less vibrant.
He was only curious
“Where is everyone?”
The next moment.
“Hey, you’re still here?”
The door at the back was pushed open, and a figure walked out.
Pei Jinye turned his head to see Gu Wutong with blood on his face, but when he smiled, he had the wildness of a rough man.
Gu Wutong approached with eager eyes sizing up Pei Jinye: “Honestly, I’m a bit surprised you haven’t left after so long since the third assessment ended. That arrogant guy from the Wei Family left an hour ago.”
“Aren’t you still here too?” Pei Jinye retorted.
“I’m different,” Gu Wutong laughed, not saying much else, his eyes blazing with anticipation: “Wei Xianren is avoiding me because he’s afraid I’ll fight him. Do you want to have a bout with me? Honestly, not many people catch my attention, and your strength is not weak.”
Pei Jinye shook his head: “Not interested.”
Gu Wutong couldn’t help but feel disappointed, however, he was easygoing: “No problem, if you’re ever interested, just let me know. Only by fighting a strong opponent can you improve your strength, right?”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow, nodding in agreement with that statement.
Seeing him respond that way, Gu Wutong immediately smiled happily, as if he had found a kindred spirit: “So you think the same? Haha, I knew it! I felt you were quite the wild one from the first glance, indeed birds of a feather with me!”
Pei Jinye gave him a profound look.
Suddenly, the great wheel they were on began to slow down.
Gu Wutong, standing beside him, yawned: “The ten-hour assessment is finally over; I need to get a good sleep when I get back.”
Pei Jinye was taken aback.
He suddenly looked up.
“How much time did you say has passed?”
Gu Wutong looked over in surprise, but before he could answer, the figure before him had already fully dissipated.
Pei Jinye looked around.
He discovered that he had returned to the Military Department base’s room.
“Tss—”
The heavy sealed door opened, and a soldier stepped in.”
Pei Jinye looked at him suspiciously.
The soldier’s face was calm, but his eyes flickered with curiosity as he approached Pei Jinye, handing him a diamond-shaped piece of ice.
“Hold onto this. You’ve just returned from the Illusory Realm, to prevent you from not yet adapting to the difference between reality and illusion, feel this.”
Pei Jinye took the ice cube, and the chilling sensation in his hand briefly sharpened his senses.
With a “crack” sound,
the soldier looked on in astonishment as the ice cube was directly crushed in Pei Jinye’s grip.
Pei Jinye seemed not to notice his expression, “Where to now?”
“This way…” the soldier averted his gaze.
Indeed, a monster.
Inside the surveillance room.
“Finally it’s over,” the Governor exhaled softly, a relieved smile creeping onto his usually taut face.
From nine-thirty in the morning until now, this student Pei Jinye had finally deemed fit to make an appearance!
Mr. Han, his thoughts unknowable, had his slender fingers resting on the table, staying silent.
A moment passed.
He slightly raised his head as if he had heard some notification.
With a calm expression, he replied with a simple “I know,” then got up and left.
“Major General Wang, arrange a room for me.”
Everyone was taken aback.
Even Governor Zhou Weiren had no idea what he was planning.
Outside, the military’s guards wanted to follow, but were stopped by Mr. Han’s personal escort.
Inside the room.
A virtual figure appeared before Mr. Han, who looked at it attentively.
“Good afternoon, Secretary General Han Sen,” Star Ring said, “I have already reported this year’s Central State elite assessment results to headquarters. Pei Jinye, Gu Wutong, Wei Xianren, Xiao Wei… and twenty-three others have all passed the review.”
Mr. Han’s eyebrows rose slightly.
He noticed that, in the ranking of this year’s candidates, Pei Jinye’s name was placed at the very top.
He pondered, “Your Excellency Star Ring, I would like to know, since the second phase, have you been involved in Pei Jinye’s assessment?”
“Yes,” Star Ring did not deny.
“Any problem?” Mr. Han inquired.
“In dealing with the BiBo Ship, a high school student under eighteen adopted a plan with only a one-in-a-billion chance of success. In accordance with the Federation’s elite investigation standards, I was permitted to intervene for personal assessment,” Star Ring watched Mr. Han, “You need not worry, he has passed the assessment. However, according to his data, with his awakening as a Psychic Class, he is more suited for combat-oriented work, and I have clearly stated this in my recommendation report.”
Mr. Han was not surprised by Pei Jinye’s combat instincts; according to his information, Pei Jinye had been exposed to training.
After all, in this day and age, no matter what kind of Transcendent, one must learn combat techniques.
For Pei Jinye to have trained to this extent in such a short time was enough to prove his talent.
Pity…
He was not of the Combat Type Transcendent.
Mr. Han fell silent for a while, then spoke after a moment, seeking advice, “Regarding Pei Jinye’s future career planning, perhaps you might have some better suggestions?”
Pei Jinye was brought into a conference room.
Gu Wutong was intently eating, but upon seeing Pei Jinye, pointed to the spot next to him, “Want something to eat? The chef here will make it for you.”
Pei Jinye walked over, and figures from Da Peng City’s Governor Zhou as well as the higher-ups from the military all came forward.
However, Xu Tian’s figure was also absent among the group.
“Student Pei, congratulations on passing the elite assessment.”
A secretary by the side hastily introduced.
Pei Jinye looked at Governor Zhou somewhat surprised; at home, Old Pei would often talk about how the Governor travelled around to inspect and wanted to drive the development of Da Peng City… Hearing it so often, he had become familiar with the name.
Yet this was Pei Jinye’s first time seeing Governor Zhou, and he replied with a light smile, “Thank you.”
With a smile on his face, Governor Zhou stood by, “After ten hours of assessment, the journey must have taken a toll on you. Here, we can provide Spirit Meat.”
Pei Jinye grew interested upon hearing this.
Without any attempt to hide it.
Seeing this, Governor Zhou’s smile grew even brighter, as if wanting to empty the military base’s warehouse.
Major General Wang shook his head with an amused smile.
This Governor Zhou was too shrewd, after all, it wasn’t his city hall providing the Spirit Meat, he really didn’t mind at all.
Yet Pei Jinye’s assessment had already caught the attention of headquarters.
Moreover, Mr. Han had already taken note of this Pei Jinye.
What was key, however,
was that Pei Jinye came from an ordinary family!
For Mr. Han, investing in an elite with a family background was far less reassuring than investing in a talent from a poor background.
Major General Wang also showed his friendliness.
He waved his hands grandly to arrange Pei Jinye’s replenishment meal.
“Pei Jinye, are you interested in joining our Judgement Place?”
Just then, an authoritative voice suddenly came from a table on the side.
Everyone looked up.
The middle-aged man from the judiciary with an impassive face was looking at Pei Jinye, seated in his place, his gaze filled with a touch of admiration.
If Judgement Place was formed by combat monsters, then the Judiciary was the true seat of power. Though high-level members might not be as powerful in combat as those monsters from Judgement Place, their status was unshakeable.
Governor Zhou recognized the one who had spoken.
Kui Shanhai!
One of the twelve representatives of Central State’s Judiciary, a disciple of the Deputy Chief Judge of the Federation’s Supreme Judiciary, and one with the strongest backing to compete for the Chief Judge position the following year.
This was also why the other representative seated beside him was somewhat polite.
But these meant little in front of Mr. Han.
“Isn’t it inappropriate to poach in front of me?”
Mr. Han entered the conference room calmly as everyone turned to look at him.
The atmosphere unexpectedly shifted.
Only Pei Jinye continued to eat his Spirit Meat in earnest, without raising his head.
