111: Chapter 111 The Su Family

3rd Super Safe Zone, Su Family Main Hall.

At this moment, inside the Su Family Main Hall, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

"Bang!!"

In an instant, the priceless celadon jade vases, rare ornaments, and solid wood tables in the hall were all swept away by an aged yet terrifyingly powerful hand, crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces!

Debris splashed everywhere, and dust filled the air!

Patriarch Su's eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end from rage, and he looked like an out-of-control beast. His aura exploded, making it difficult for the attendants present to even breathe.

No one in the hall dared to step forward to stop him; all the high-ranking members lowered their heads, holding their breath, not daring to even let out a sigh.

He had lived for decades, fought in countless Dungeons, and was decisive in killing; he had never been this out of control or furious before.

"You brat!!"

"I will definitely flay you alive and strip your bones!!"

"How dare you hurt my Su Lianwu!!"

Patriarch Su's voice was like thunder, roaring in fury, the sound making the hall vibrate.

Several elders' expressions changed, and they braced themselves to step forward and dissuade him.

"Patriarch, calm down! This is just a Federal Selection Tournament Dungeon. With the Federal rules providing a safety net, Miss Su Lianwu will not be in any life-threatening danger; it's just a minor flesh wound."

"That's right, and she also has the Family Seal protecting her, nothing will happen!"

"No life-threatening danger?"

It would have been better if they hadn't said that; once said, it completely ignited the Patriarch's fury.

He turned his head abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving violently. Extreme heartache and fury intertwined as he sternly rebuked them:

"No life-threatening danger?!"

"Are you blind?!"

"Didn't you see blood flowing from Su Lianwu's mouth?!"

"Do you still have hearts? Do you still have feelings?!"

The top-tier Patriarch, who had just been awe-inspiring and fierce, suddenly collapsed his aura the next second, instantly transforming into a doting old eccentric.

He suddenly crouched down, slapping his thighs with both hands, tears streaming down his face, his voice choked with sobs and feeling wronged.

"My poor Su Lianwu..."

"If Grandpa had known, I would have died before letting you participate in this lousy competition!"

"Isn't it better to stay safely at home and enjoy life? Why did you have to go and suffer like this..."

"Why won't you listen to Grandpa!"

The Su Family high-ranking members looked at each other, all smiling helplessly, but no one dared to say another word.

Everyone knew that the Patriarch was usually majestic, domineering, and decisive, but only toward this granddaughter was he doted on to the extreme, with absolutely no principles—truly an old eccentric.

Another elderly elder sighed and stepped forward to patiently advise:

"Patriarch, you don't need to be too worried. Miss Su Lianwu's talent is unparalleled among her peers; she has had smooth sailing since she was young and has never encountered failure."

"Suffering a minor injury during this training might not be a bad thing; it's a good chance for her to learn a lesson. It can also let her know that there is always someone better, so she won't underestimate enemies when she encounters real danger in Dungeons later."

"She can't live in the family's ivory tower forever. Seeing the strong in the world early will allow her to handle real, deadly danger calmly in the future."

The words had just fallen.

"Boom!!"

Another loud noise.

A long table was directly flipped over and thrown at the elder who had just spoken.

The elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.

Patriarch Su roared:

"It's not you who got hurt!!"

"Why are you here making sarcastic remarks!!"

"It's easy for you to talk while standing there, isn't it!!"

His chest heaved violently, pointing at the crowd:

"Now, immediately, right now!"

"Get all the files and all the background information on that brat named Lin Yan and bring them to me!!"

"Investigate!! Investigate for me!!"

"I want to see what kind of wild brat dares to touch someone from my Su Family!!"

A person in charge dared not hesitate and immediately bowed to operate the Federal confidential system to retrieve the Contestant's exclusive file.

At the same time.

In the center of the Su Family Main Hall, a huge light screen was playing.

On the screen was the real-time broadcast of the Chaotic Battlefield.

This was one of the very few viewing grounds in the entire Federation with the highest authority. A huge holographic screen floated in the center of the main hall, clearly restoring every scene happening inside the battlefield, down to the last detail.

The outside world could only see the leaderboard and simple battle situations.

But they could see the complete real-time footage.

In the footage, it was the final scene of the fight between Su Lianwu and Lin Yan.

---

Soon, a file was retrieved.

[Contestant: Lin Yan]

[Talent: F-Rank Weak Constitution. Effect: Initial Constitution +2.]

[Background: Unified breeder from Seventh Safe Zone, ID LY9527, Awakened from Ninth Public Awakening Middle School.]

...

Patriarch Su glanced at it and was stunned.

Simple lines of text, as plain as can be, completely the configuration of a common Awakened at the very bottom of the Federation.

The main hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at this file, their faces full of astonishment.

"Just this?"

"A civilian with no background, F-Rank trash talent?"

"Able to punch and injure his granddaughter who has an A-Rank top-tier Awakening talent?"

Patriarch Su was so angry he laughed, stepped forward, and tore the virtual file device to shreds!

Fragments of light scattered everywhere.

"F-Rank?"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"This is called F-Rank?"

"If this is F-Rank, then my entire Su Family are trash!"

He slammed the table.

"Who are you trying to fool!!"

"If he is F-Rank, then all geniuses are trash!!"

"This file was obviously deliberately hidden and forged by someone!"

He saw through the flaw at a glance, and his anger grew even more.

The intelligence elder on the side hurriedly stepped forward, handed over a supplementary confidential document, and respectfully explained:

"Patriarch, please calm down. Our authority is limited, and we cannot access the Federation's highest confidential files."

"In the Federation's confidential files, Lin Yan's talent is labeled as an extremely rare random floating talent."

"The surface rating is fixed at the weakest F-Rank, but the talent effect, combat strength, and ability mechanism will change randomly according to each Dungeon, which is extremely deceptive."

Speaking of this, the elder's tone was solemn, his eyes full of wariness.

"In other words, this F-Rank rating is just a superficial registration; his true talent upper limit is completely blank in the existing data."

Everyone in the hall was silent.

They had no way of knowing that hidden beneath this fake talent, which was deemed a 'random F-Rank', was a top-secret file that even the Su Family had no right to record or detect.

No one saw through Lin Yan's true trump card.

No one knew what kind of terrifying, heaven-defying strength this seemingly grass-roots civilian youth was hiding.

Patriarch Su stared at the bloody figure in the center of the battlefield on the light screen, the anger in his eyes not yet faded, gritting his teeth and whispering in a low voice:

"What a brat who hides so deep..."

"You dare to hurt my Su Lianwu; I will remember this grudge."

"When you come out of the Chaotic Battlefield, I will personally experience just how much capability your so-called 'F-Rank random talent' really has!"
