48: Fourth-level martial artist!

Facing Li Qingchen's inquiry, Su Lei just smiled slightly.

"Let the troops begin their operations; the remaining areas have all been cleared."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly fell into a dead silence.

There were at least seven areas the military had yet to set foot in.

As they delved deeper into the Misty Mountains, the environment became increasingly perilous, and the number and strength of the Vicious Beasts rose in a tiered manner.

Starting from Area H, the difficulty of exploring each subsequent region was likely several times greater than before.

Staying there alone for three weeks and cleaning out all seven areas?

It was unimaginable what this man had actually gone through and how many Vicious Beasts he had killed...

Everyone's mind went blank.

"Leave the rest to you all. I'm going back to ask Colonel Ron for some manpower."

Amidst countless dazed gazes, Su Lei boarded the helicopter parked in the clearing, and the helicopter took off, quickly becoming a black dot in the sky.

... Medical Center.

The white light reflected a cold halo off the metal walls, and the smell of disinfectant mixed with a certain burnt odor permeated the confined space.

The detector emitted an abnormal buzzing sound, and the data on the screen jumped wildly as if it had gone mad.

The new military doctor frantically hit the emergency stop button, only to find the machine was still running in an overloaded state.

This military detector, which could withstand the full-force strike of a Third-Order Martial Master, had its casing slightly deformed due to the high temperature, emitting the smell of burnt plastic.

"Mu-muscle density... it's 957% of the standard value for a First-Order Martial Master!"

The military doctor's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said with difficulty: "The bone density is three times that of special steel, infinitely approaching aviation titanium alloy!"

"Qi and blood value..." The data in the "Qi and blood value level" column climbed frantically, and the numbers on the screen finally settled on an extremely exaggerated value.

He suddenly looked up at Su Lei lying in the detection pod, with fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead. "Fo-Fourth-Order?!"

Su Lei nodded slightly, his face showing no expression of surprise.

During this three-week trial, he had killed at least a hundred Vicious Beasts, and had also consumed one exotic herb and two Vicious Beast cores.

By constantly practicing the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Method, his Qi and blood power had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and his control over his body had nearly reached the ultimate level.

With a mere thought, his force instantly transmitted to his skin, muscles, bones, and flesh.

However, compared to the Breakthrough in Realm, the constant fighting also gave him even greater gains in martial arts.

"This test report..." The military doctor's voice trembled slightly. Su Lei stood up, calmly dropped one sentence, and left. "No need to destroy it, no need to encrypt it, just enter it directly into the military database."

Su Lei arrived at the command center building and walked into the Colonel's office. The other party happened to lift his head from the computer screen. Just a moment ago, he had been browsing the data that was just uploaded to the military database.

"... Remarkable." Colonel Ron cast a complex look, sizing Su Lei up from head to toe once more.

Memories seemed to linger on the time when he had just reported to the military camp. At that time, Su Lei was just a newcomer who had just promoted to Martial Master. Now, he had single-handedly facilitated the exploration of the Misty Mountains...

Su Lei sat on the sofa. "Since the mission in the Misty Mountains is complete, the higher-ups won't have anything more to say, right?"

Ron's gaze turned to the computer screen. The 3D topographic maps of the seven areas were automatically playing a comparison of the before and after clearing. The red areas originally marked as "Dead Forbidden Zones" had all turned into the green that represented safety.

Glancing at it casually, he nodded and said: "The source of the Vicious Beasts and toxic fog has been thoroughly resolved by you, so the follow-up cleanup work is naturally not a problem. If we send more manpower... it will be solved within a week."

Ron picked up his teacup and found that his hand was actually trembling slightly. "In fact, even if you hadn't completed the mission on time, it wouldn't have mattered. Just by virtue of your status as a Fourth-Order Martial Master, it would be enough for the higher-ups to desperately try to recruit you into the military."

Ron couldn't help but let out a sigh. "It's too exaggerated; with your Aptitude, you are bound to become a Grandmaster in the future." The word "Grandmaster" echoed in the room, carrying a heavy weight. It represented transcending the mundane and stepping into the Realm of legends.

"Join the military, huh." Su Lei tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, lost in thought. Ron smiled and said: "With your resume and strength, once you join the military, you are guaranteed to be a Brigadier General and become the supreme commander of a certain Theater Command. Your abilities during this period and the contributions you have made are obvious to all. I also hope you can join the military."

"As for the treatment, you can rest assured. Your family can be settled in the family area of the Southern Theater Command." As Ron spoke, he took a holographic document from the safe and projected it into the air between them. His finger pointed to a 3D model of a coastal city. "The family area is located here; it has the top-tier hospitals and schools, as well as a gene optimization center that was just built last year..."

Su Lei nodded slightly, "I will seriously consider it. By the way, there is one more thing I didn't tell you at the time."

Ron reached out and pressed the encryption button on the desk; the surrounding glass instantly fogged up, completely isolating the entire room from the outside. "After the exploration work of the Misty Mountains is finished, you need to join the exploration mission of the Secret Realm." "Secret Realm?" Su Lei suddenly frowned.

Ron lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "Barren Ancient Abyss, a newly discovered Secret Realm, located at the junction of the Western Military Region and the Southern Military Region. Its security clearance in the military database is SS, so it's normal that you don't know about it. In fact, if it weren't for the higher-ups specifically naming you to participate, I wouldn't have the qualification to know either."

"The so-called Secret Realm is usually an area guarded by a large number of Vicious Beasts, and sometimes Yao Beasts even appear." Su Lei's expression became serious. Yao Beasts were existences even more powerful than Fourth-Order Vicious Beasts. They not only possessed bodies as powerful as gods and demons but also mastered various bizarre abilities. Some could control elements, some could erode spirits, and there were even legends of Yao Beasts capable of predicting the future.

Ron slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke and flicked the ash. "Although it is dangerous, there are also a large number of Heaven And Earth Treasures and rare Materials there, with quality starting at S-Rank. Every time a Secret Realm is conquered, it brings huge benefits to humanity. But benefits and risks coexist; just obtaining the relevant intelligence has cost countless lives. Now, the high-order Martial Masters of the Southern Military Region are concentrating on attacking the Barren Ancient Abyss. The weakest among them is a Third-Order Martial Master; do you understand now?"

Su Lei was silent for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "When should I report?" Ron revealed a slight smile: "Rest well today; it won't be too late to set off tomorrow." "Alright, no problem."

When he walked out of the command building, night had already fallen. Su Lei stood on the steps, looking up at the starry sky. In the distant southeast, the lights of Jiangnan City were faintly visible. The corners of his mouth slowly raised; before going to explore the Secret Realm, there was still a grudge that needed to be settled.
