143: Leave, indifference

“Long live Grandmaster Lin Jiaming!”

“I knew it, Grandmaster Lin Jiaming wouldn’t let us down!”

“Stop spouting nonsense here, you were the most dejected just now!”

The shelter’s gates opened.

Li Canglan and Chen Anmin, along with others, streamed out of the shelter.

The streets were already in ruins.

Malls, shops, and even the subway station entrance were nothing but broken walls and rubble.

Of course, there were also countless Demonic Beast corpses.

Stepping out of the shelter’s gate, one could immediately see the enormous arm plunged straight into the ground.

From a distance, the arm’s size already surpassed the tallest building in Luofeng City!

It could even be considered Luofeng City’s landmark.

“This… it was already terrifying just looking at it on screen.”

Other citizens also saw the arm and were momentarily stunned.

“Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I realize this arm is even more terrifying than imagined.”

Li Canglan had been in close proximity to the arm, so he wasn’t overly shocked.

Zhang Nanbo’s injuries had temporarily eased.

Zhang Nanbo, Chen Anmin, and other high-ranking officials of Luofeng City immediately headed towards the Qian Family Courtyard to pay their respects to Grandmaster Lin Jiaming.

The only one who seemed a bit out of place in the group was Li Canglan.

However, in the shelter, they had already heard Zhang Nanbo mention theCredit Li Canglan had achieved.

Naturally, they wouldn’t look down on him just because Li Canglan was young or had weak strength.

Near the Qian Family Courtyard.

The golden radiance on Lin Jiaming had dissipated.

He was reporting safety to Hanghai Base City and instructing the Base City to discuss reconstruction efforts.

This battle wasn’t just near the Qian Family Courtyard.

The entire main urban area’s transportation had basically collapsed.

Reconstruction work would likely take a considerable amount of time.

If possible, it might require people from the Base City and the other three satellite cities to come.

To transfer some citizens there for temporary resettlement.

Until the reconstruction work was almost complete.

Then send them back.

These matters only required Lin Jiaming to speak, and those below would naturally implement them, so he didn’t need to worry.

“Greetings, Grandmaster Lin.”

Upon the arrival of Zhang Nanbo and the other high-ranking officials of Luofeng City, they all bowed to Lin Jiaming.

“No need to be so polite.”

Lin Jiaming waved his hand, signaling everyone to rise.

“Grandmaster, this demonic creature?”

Zhang Nanbo curiously pointed behind Lin Jiaming, at the arm plunged into the ground.

If this arm had previously exuded monstrous demonic might.

Then now, this arm only had a trace of Death Qi left.

“It’s temporarily unclear which race the demonic general belongs to, but there’s no need to worry about his retaliation.”

Lin Jiaming naturally knew what these people were most concerned about.

“Previously, an inside accomplice opened the spatial rift, and then used human Souls as a guide to stabilize the rift’s fluctuations, which allowed the demonic general to extend an arm into the battlefield.”

“Now that the spatial rift has been repaired, as long as there’s no inside accomplice, no matter how strong this demonic general is, he cannot cross the realm.”

Hearing Lin Jiaming say this, Zhang Nanbo and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

“With this matter concluded, I should return to the Base City.”

After speaking, Lin Jiaming flew up, preparing to leave.

“Grandmaster Lin, the students’ scores…”

Seeing Lin Jiaming about to leave, Zhang Nanbo, as the City Lord, quickly spoke up and asked.

“Don’t worry about the Grand Examination; the Education Bureau will naturally consider it.”

“As for whether to grant extra points or reorganize a Grand Examination, they will inform you.”

Zhang Nanbo still wanted to introduce Li Canglan, the sure-fire Zhuangyuan, to Lin Jiaming.

But Lin Jiaming had already vanished from the spot.

For a moment, Zhang Nanbo and Chen Anmin’s faces showed some embarrassment.

They had brought Li Canglan here, not only to claim credit for this rising star of Luofeng City.

But also for one more point, which was a recommendation!

Director Zhou Bohao had previously said that with Li Canglan’s Aptitude, he was worthy of becoming Lin Jiaming’s direct Disciple.

However, direct instruction and being nominally assigned to other teachers are two different concepts.

If he could follow Lin Jiaming early on.

It would also be of great benefit to Li Canglan.

If Li Canglan could grow, it would also be an honor for Luofeng City.

But Lin Jiaming showed no interest in the Luofeng City Grand Examination at all.

“My fault, I didn’t mention Young Friend Li to Grandmaster Lin earlier.”

Zhang Nanbo sighed, blaming himself.

“It’s normal for a Grandmaster who is busy with countless affairs not to pay attention to the Grand Examinations of our satellite cities.”

“That’s right, it was a pleasant surprise that Student Li stood out in this Grand Examination; even we didn’t anticipate it beforehand, let alone Grandmaster Lin from the far-off Base City.”

Guo Kai and the other principals spoke one after another.

Creating this current situation was not an overnight effort.

Just looking at the Grand Examination points.

In previous years, Hanghai Base City and its four subordinate satellite cities participated in the ranking together.

Almost no students from satellite cities would appear in the top one hundred.

Among the top one thousand, there were also very few students from satellite cities.

Adding them up, it would definitely not exceed fifty people!

This is the gap in student sources and resources!

When strong individuals have a choice, they generally choose to settle in the Base City.

The probability of their descendants being Geniuses is theoretically stronger than that of ordinary families.

In the Dao of Martial Arts, genes also have a certain influence.

In this regard, it also has some similarities to the college entrance examination back then.

Coupled with the resources possessed by the Base City, which far exceed those of their satellite cities.

For example, in Luofeng City, only someone from a family like Xu Yifan’s.

Could consume Blood Tempering Agent like it was a meal.

But in Hanghai Base City, almost all families could do this!

Plus, they could find better, gentler Cultivation Techniques.

Allowing children to be ahead at the starting line from a young age.

With all these reasons combined.

It was normal for Lin Jiaming not to care about Luofeng City’s Grand Examination.

“Young Friend Li, don’t be disheartened; we will definitely report yourCredit when the time comes.”

Zhang Nanbo, fearing that Li Canglan might harbor negative emotions, quickly comforted him.

“With your strength, whether it’s re-taking the Grand Examination or other methods, you will definitely be able to get into Hanghai Martial Arts Academy.”

Li Canglan nodded.

“I understand, City Lord. Can I take the Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s corpse with me?”

“Of course, you can.”

Zhang Nanbo simply thought Li Canglan was tired and nodded in agreement.

He took out a spatial ring and gave it to Li Canglan.

“This spatial ring should be large enough to hold this Black Scaled Flood Dragon.”

Li Canglan did not stand on ceremony.

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s corpse was conservatively estimated to be over five hundred meters long!

His spatial bracelet really couldn’t fit such a large Black Scaled Flood Dragon!

He opened the spatial ring Zhang Nanbo gave him and was immediately stunned.

This space was too big!

The area alone exceeded one hundred thousand square meters!

The City Lord is truly generous!
