43: Arrived in the capital!

The world is fragmented.

While the authorities are huffing and puffing in a tug-of-war with the wild flora and fauna.

The Imperial Capital is hosting a grand feast for Professionals.

Not only have a large number of Professionals from within Great Xia come to the Imperial Capital, but even some foreign Professionals have arrived.

An internal competition has directly evolved into an exchange extravaganza.

At this moment, the Club is scrambling for spots.

Ye Su and Cui Hu directly entered the semifinals—there's no way around it, being shameless is normal.

If it weren't for the sake of ticket sales, you wouldn't even be in the picture.

So no one had any objections.

In other words, the Club's Professionals only have two spots.

Amidst the bustling commotion over the past few days, the final two spots were decided.

Zhang Xiao from the Magic Capital Club and Qu Wanteng from the Black Sea Club.

Both are masters with 20 points in extreme Physique.

Moreover, their Skills are exceptionally brilliant, and most importantly, they are both Special Class Professionals.

Now, we're just waiting for Ye Su and Cui Hu to show up.

---Airport.

"Ye Su, are you confident?" Zhang Hui asked with some concern.

Zhang Hui wasn't too concerned about Zhang Xiao and Qu Wanteng, as the resources brought by that spring rain were limited.

Ye Su and Cui Hu are the real protagonists.

No matter what, the others are just running alongside.

What's truly intimidating is Cui Hu—this is a talent cultivated by the Imperial Capital authorities.

Not only does he possess the same Core Martial Art as Ye Su, but he also has the backing of the Imperial Capital's resources.

"Relax, it's not a big problem."

Ye Su laughed.

After these days of cultivation, plus a Spirit Medicine secretly given by the Su Hang Grand Camp.

Ye Su has already boosted his Physique to 20 points.

This is currently the limit for Professionals relying on Spirit Medicine infusion, or rather, the upper limit brought by the Beginning of Spring Rain Water.

It seems 20 points in Physique is the limit for this stage; further enhancement requires a leap in the amount of Qi and blood nourishment and time consumption.

As if the version were set this way.

If everyone is at 20 points in Physique, the core of combat power is no longer strength.

Instead, it's factors like understanding of combat, mastery of Martial Arts, resilience of combat will, and so on.

"Alright, then I wish you a triumphant return."

Zhang Hui said with a smile.

The further Ye Su advances, the greater the authority he gains.

The Liaison Officer system is closely tied to the bound Professional.

Ye Su nodded and then boarded a private plane to the Imperial Capital with Mo Xiaoyu.

Watching the plane depart, Zhang Hui had just turned around when he saw Li Qing and Black Tiger.

"Director Li, you're late. Ye Su just left."

"I came to find you," Li Qing said.

"Find me?" Zhang Hui was surprised.

What couldn't be said over the phone?

"Is there something?"

"I have a potion here that can make people Awaken. Do you want to give it a try?"

Li Qing said to Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui was immediately dumbfounded, his throat trembling, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Professional.

Who wouldn't want to become a Professional!

"What? A potion? Has such a potion been developed?"

Zhang Hui was shocked.

Vaguely, he had learned from the Su Hang Grand Camp that Li Qing was researching a potion that could make people Awaken.

He never expected it to actually be created.

"Hmm... it's still a bit short," Li Qing said;

"I still need some samples, like the branch of that big tree in the Shennong Forbidden Zone."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Shennong Forbidden Zone.

That's a place even the nation finds troublesome.

If nuclear bombs didn't bring unpredictable mutations, they'd probably have already dropped a mushroom over there.

It's said there are many 'Kings' over there.

Zhang Hui shook his head vigorously;

"Director Li, how is that possible? I can't just go to the Shennong Forbidden Zone to fetch it."

Zhang Hui wasn't foolish; he had vaguely grasped the core and understood what Li Qing was aiming for.

"After the Imperial Capital Professional extravaganza, the Imperial Capital Research Institute will organize a team," Li Qing said;

"At that time, you can talk to Ye Su and see if you can persuade him."

Zhang Hui shook his head again.

The Imperial Capital Research Institute is just a Research Institute; they dare to do this because Cui Hu's major achievements will be exchanged for military operation permissions.

And Li Qing approached Zhang Hui for the Liaison Officer system behind him, knowing that this system is backed by the military.

On the surface, it's about having Zhang Hui find Ye Su, but in reality, it's about having Zhang Hui report to the military.

Finally, informing Ye Su of this situation.

This way, the entire logic would become;

Ye Su also goes to secure the potion, then uses the potion to secure the military.

With the military's support, the path Li Qing paved for Ye Su would be complete.

Ye Su's major achievement would be exchanged for a city—unprecedented!

Only with the military's support would this shocking exchange Law be established!

Zhang Hui's throat moved slightly.

Li Qing was practically paving the way for Ye Su non-stop.

This was almost betting everything on Ye Su.

Zhang Hui wavered.

And at this moment, Li Qing's voice grew low;

"Nuclear bombs can't decide the overall situation; technology will gradually lose its position of supreme power."

"I need this potion, and Great Xia needs this potion even more!"

"Only by transforming Great Xia's over a billion people into Professionals can we ensure the nation's survival amidst this world-shaking change."

"I came to you because you're a soldier. Faced with this situation, you have no choice."

Zhang Hui fell even more silent.

Yes.

Li Qing was right; faced with this situation, he truly had no choice.

"Alright, I'll inform the military, and you notify Ye Su."

Zhang Hui agreed.

---Imperial Capital.

Ye Su and Mo Xiaoyu stepped off the plane.

Naturally, someone from the Imperial Capital was there to greet them.

Ye Su looked and saw it was an acquaintance.

"Well, well, it's actually you!"

Ye Su exclaimed in surprise; the person who came was actually Cui Hu.

"What, can't I come?" Cui Hu said with a confident smile on his Face;

"I came to receive you, so when I beat you badly later, you'll have fewer complaints."

Ye Su gave a thumbs-up;

"Impressive! Much more arrogant than me. I only said I'd guarantee a win."

"Hahaha."

Both their words exuded an indescribable confidence and a sense of mutual admiration.

Some accompanying officials breathed a sigh of relief.

The higher-ups had strictly ordered that Ye Su must not harbor hatred toward the nation or Cui Hu.

After all, this guy is a key talent under special care.

If relations soured, it would affect the bigger picture.

Besides Cui Hu, the welcoming party included Guan Li's team, and of course, that Rong Xi, the area Support Class Practitioner.

"Let's go, I'll show you around the Imperial Capital properly."

Cui Hu walked up and familiarly slung an arm over Ye Su's shoulder.

Ye Su was helpless.

The group left the airport just like that.

On the road.

"Why do I see so many Professionals?" Ye Su asked curiously.

"They're all here to see who's stronger between us."

"Us? Aren't there the other two who bought tickets?"

"Do you think the other two pose a threat?"

"That's true. Wait... foreigners?"

"Yes! Many Professionals from other countries have come as well."

"Then..." Ye Su narrowed his eyes;

"Did the authorities sell tickets to foreigners?"

In the car, Ye Su saw a Professional with an East Asian Face, but lip-reading suggested they might be from Sakura.

Cui Hu followed Ye Su's gaze and immediately understood his meaning;

He wanted to kill!

"Hold back for now. Currently, there's intense international debate, and the Lighthouse even proposed researching Professionals, demanding global provision of Professional blood samples."

Cui Hu said;

"Their excuse is that Professionals are hard to control and too violent."

"Hah, I heard over there, Professionals act like tyrants, killing freely. They really have the nerve to play world peace police!"
