134: Chapter 134 The world won't allow him to be just Su Yun

Linhai Investigation Bureau.

In the control room.

The footage of Su Yun disappearing was magnified sixteen times.

It was played back twenty times.

Finally, the technician took off his headset, his voice raspy.

"Report, no trajectory captured."

Chen Jianguo stared at the screen.

"What do you mean?"

The technician swallowed hard.

"It's not that the speed is too fast."

"If it were speed, we would at least be able to capture air disturbances, psychic residue, heat changes, or even motion blur."

"But there's none of that."

He pointed at the almost invisible transparent crease on the screen.

"He didn't leave."

"He simply swapped the small patch of space he occupied to somewhere else."

The control room fell into a dead silence.

The technician paused for a moment before adding, "This is truly a Space Type ability."

The statement sounded like a platitude, but everyone present knew how heavy its implications were.

Executive Jiang Xu stood in front of the screen, his gaze deep and calm.

Ye Zhiwei closed her eyes, her fingers resting on the edge of the instrument as if sensing the fluctuations behind that residual spatial crease.

Su Yao looked at the empty seat on the screen, her expression even worse than before.

Su Yun would not only be involved in dangerous battles because of his Semi-King rank potential.

More importantly, he was gone now.

As his sister, she didn't even know where he had gone.

This feeling was even more agonizing than facing the Ghost Emperor's projection.

The Ghost Emperor was an external enemy.

One could fight, defend against, or negotiate with it.

But Su Yun's change was like water slipping through her fingers.

The harder she tried to hold on, the less she could grasp.

Commander Li Zhenshan's communication remained active.

The Supreme Commander spoke from across the screen.

"Confirm the Rank."

Executive Jiang Xu said: "Semi-King rank, Space Type ability."

Chen Jianguo immediately added: "And he has a Pure Human identity."

Once these words were spoken, even Commander Li Zhenshan fell silent.

Pure Human.

Not Strange Talk Sequence.

Not Abyss contamination.

Not a follower of the Old Gods.

At least based on Awakening records, Su Yun was the first to ascend directly to the Semi-King rank as a Pure Human.

These four words weighed even heavier than the Semi-King rank.

Because it implied a path.

Even if this path couldn't be replicated, at least it had appeared once.

Ye Zhiwei said in a low voice: "If this path can be replicated, humanity will enter a new phase."

Su Yao said coldly: "It can't be replicated."

Chen Jianguo looked at her: "Why?"

Su Yao stared at the screen.

"Because this is his own talent."

"The Yin-Yang Spirit Awakening Seed is just opening the door."

"What's behind the door depends on him."

"Giving others a chance to Awakening would mostly result in D-Rank, maybe C-Rank if they're lucky."

She paused, her voice dropping lower.

"It's not like everyone has a Semi-King rank Space Type ability behind the door after opening it."

Chen Jianguo nodded: "That's true."

He paused and added: "And not everyone has a Saintess and a King-Rank female classmate fighting to give them resources."

No one in the control room responded.

Chen Jianguo silently finished the thought in his mind.

Did this guy save the world in his past life?

The Saintess of the Sanctuary protects him.

The only King-Rank human likes him.

A treasure paid by the Ghost Emperor ended up in his mouth.

The Investigation Bureau even has to fabricate an identity for him.

If life could be cheated, this isn't just a cheat code.

This is basically being given a mod menu.

Commander Li Zhenshan broke the silence.

"Data on Space Type."

Executive Jiang Xu raised his hand.

The screen switched immediately.

Several top-secret files appeared.

[Space Type Awakened: Seventeen cases in global history.]

[Current survival record: Three cases.]

[Highest growth record: S-Rank.]

[Danger assessment: Strategic level.]

[Ability directions: Displacement, blockade, cutting, folding, spatial anchoring, cross-domain transfer.]

[Note: Space Type Awakened are extremely difficult to restrain; conventional detention measures are not recommended.]

Chen Jianguo looked at the files, his expression turning serious.

"Space Type is rare to begin with."

Ye Zhiwei chimed in: "But every one of them is very hard to kill."

Executive Jiang Xu said: "More importantly, once a Space Type user masters offensive means, their combat power will rise to a whole new level."

Chen Jianguo was stunned.

"A whole new level?"

Executive Jiang Xu nodded.

"Within the same Rank, spatial cutting almost ignores conventional defenses."

"The shields, armor, and psychic barriers on you block attacks."

"But spatial cutting doesn't cut you."

Chen Jianguo frowned: "Then what does it cut?"

Executive Jiang Xu said calmly: "It cuts the location you occupy."

Many staff members in the control room fell silent.

This statement was too intuitive.

And too terrifying.

Chen Jianguo took a slow breath.

"Su Yun is now a Semi-King."

Someone in the control room instinctively added:

"Then if he knows how to use spatial attacks, couldn't he fight a King-Rank?"

Once these words were spoken, several staff members looked at the screen simultaneously.

Executive Jiang Xu didn't deny it immediately.

That was the most terrifying part.

After two seconds, he spoke.

"It's also possible he can't."

Chen Jianguo looked at him.

Executive Jiang Xu said: "The gap between Semi-King and King Rank is too large."

"King Ranks master rules."

"No matter how strong the space ability is, it might not necessarily overcome rule-based defense."

Chen Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.

Executive Jiang Xu added: "But if he can elevate space to the level of rules, it's a different story."

Chen Jianguo's breath, which had just been released, caught in his throat again.

"Can you finish your sentences all at once?"

Executive Jiang Xu was expressionless.

"I was afraid you couldn't handle it."

Chen Jianguo: "Thanks, what you just said makes me even less able to handle it."

Ye Zhiwei suddenly opened her eyes.

"And don't forget, that was just his first time using the ability."

"No training."

"No guidance."

"No anchor points."

"He wasn't even serious."

The control room went quiet again.

A person who wasn't even using his ability seriously had already completed a traceless spatial transfer.

What if he were serious?

No one dared to continue that line of thought.

Commander Li Zhenshan tapped the table on the other end of the communication.

"The priority is not to discuss whether he can fight a King-Rank."

Everyone was quiet.

Commander Li Zhenshan looked at the empty desk on the screen.

"It is to invite student Su Yun to the High Command for registration."

Chen Jianguo's expression was subtle.

"Invite?" This word was used very carefully.

Commander Li Zhenshan glanced at him.

"Do you want to arrest him?"

Chen Jianguo immediately shook his head.

"No, I think the word 'invite' is very much in line with the traditional virtues of Great Xia."

Just kidding.

Arrest him?

Not to mention that Su Yun himself is a Semi-King rank Space Type user, whether he could even be caught was a question.

Even if he were caught, what about Chu Youwei?

What about Saintess Lin Xinglan?

Thinking deeper, what if The Rancher is also watching him?

Chen Jianguo felt that although he was only A-Rank, he wasn't tired of living yet.

Commander Li Zhenshan continued: "Give him an official identity."

Executive Jiang Xu raised his eyes.

"What does the Commander mean?"

Commander Li Zhenshan said calmly: "Special Consultant to the Investigation Bureau, Reserve Executive, Core Member of the Spatial Strategic Support Group."

Executive Jiang Xu looked at the proposed position and was silent for a moment.

Chen Jianguo spoke first: "Commander, isn't this promotion too fast?"

Commander Li Zhenshan retorted ruthlessly: "That's a Semi-King, not you, an A-Rank."

Chen Jianguo: "..."

Commander Li Zhenshan continued: "Besides, at least for a Semi-King, we can give him a position."

"I don't even dare to mention these things to student Chu."

Chen Jianguo choked: "That's true..."

What position to give Chu Youwei?

Special Invigilator for the Investigation Bureau?

Lifetime Director of the Great Xia Education Judgment Committee?

National Entrance Exam Rule Security Consultant?

The problem is, no matter which position, it sounds like the Investigation Bureau is being managed by her.

Ye Zhiwei closed her eyes and said softly: "The key isn't Su Yun."

Chen Jianguo was stunned: "A Semi-King Space Type isn't the key?"

Ye Zhiwei opened her eyes: "The key is Chu Youwei."

The control room fell into a brief silence.

Executive Jiang Xu nodded: "It's difficult for any party to communicate with her."

Chen Jianguo said instinctively: "Isn't she quite reasonable?"

Executive Jiang Xu glanced at him: "She almost demolished Old Fengdu just now."

Chen Jianguo immediately corrected himself: "She speaks in King-Rank logic."

Commander Li Zhenshan tapped the table: "Chu Youwei just became a King, her emotional anchor point is very obvious."

Chen Jianguo whispered: "Su Yun."

Executive Jiang Xu added: "And she will only listen to Su Yun."

Su Yao's expression darkened: "So you want to use Xiao Yun?"

Executive Jiang Xu looked at her: "Not use."

Su Yao sneered: "Then what is it?"

Executive Jiang Xu said calmly: "Letting him appear legally in the places he would have appeared anyway."

This sentence left Su Yao speechless.

Chen Jianguo couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, even without an identity, he would likely be at the scene if something happened."

Su Yao clenched her fingers: "He is still just a high school student."

Chen Jianguo sighed: "Yeah... but there's no help for it, who told us not to be Semi-Kings?"

Su Yao fell silent.

She knew better than anyone.

From the moment Su Yun ate the Yin-Yang Spirit Awakening Seed, that younger brother who carried his schoolbag home every day, was tortured by English class, and could still pretend to be ordinary, could no longer return to his original path.

She didn't want to admit it.

But admitting it or not was useless.

The world wouldn't be any gentler to Su Yun just because she was his sister.

On the contrary, it would push Su Yun into the spotlight even faster.

Semi-King rank Space Type.

Pure Human identity.

Chu Youwei's emotional anchor point.

Object of the Saintess's attention.

Each label was enough to make countless factions target him.

Not to mention that all these labels were now stuck on one person.

Xiao Yun had become a Semi-King.

The world would no longer allow him to just be Su Yun.
