87: Lin Yue's identity

As one of The Watchers' Chiefs most skilled in intelligence, Li Qing's business scope was actually very broad. It wasn't just Divine Gene; even The Officials and Molten Furnace—as long as they could afford the price, she could provide intelligence.

By relying on this, she obtained a lot of resources, which was also why she could cultivate a promising talent like Gu Qianjun.

Moreover, Luo City was one of the few major cities among many that was completely under the control of The Watchers.

In this regard, it was much stronger than Bei Chen.

Of course, most of the intelligence she provided would not involve The Watchers' core secrets.

But this time, it concerned Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing had voluntarily exposed himself as a Triple-element Fusion Awakened One, so it was likely that various factions had obtained intelligence on him.

However, this time, Divine Gene required Zhou Xing's blood samples and was even willing to pay enough resources for her to find a way to control Zhou Xing and send him to Godfall City.

If this were to be exposed, even if Gao Yun personally came to Dawn City, he wouldn't be able to take her away right under Wei Guangming's nose.

With Dawn City's own formidable defenses, even a Late-Stage Demigod expert could be resisted; this was the true foundation of a super city.

For a moment, Li Qing fell silent... Early the next morning, many Dawn City Awakened Ones gathered in Dawn Square.

Today, under the gaze of thousands, the final three spots for this Special Training Camp would be decided.

The ground of the central arena had already automatically restored itself, and this time, the arena's protective barrier had been upgraded, capable of withstanding attacks below the Law Realm.

Most people had already learned the rules for the final selection.

Because Zhou Xing and Gu Qianjun had an unbroken winning streak,

the two would fight each other. The loser would drop into the loser's bracket and successively fight Lu Yuan and Jin Yan, who were chosen from the loser's bracket, with two individuals selected based on their wins.

As for the other person from the winner's bracket, they would directly secure first place.

"The first match of the final selection, winner's bracket final: Star City's Zhou Xing versus Luo City's Gu Qianjun!"

At this moment, Elder Tongxuan's voice rang out, and immediately the entire venue erupted in deafening cheers.

Zhou Xing and Gu Qianjun walked out from the passage.

Gu Qianjun was still in black, but today his mask had been replaced with a semi-transparent material, adding a touch of mystery to him.

His expression clearly showed a look of solemnity.

Zhou Xing, on the other hand, still wore his Star City uniform, walking onto the arena with a serious expression.

When his gaze shifted to Zhou Keer, who was sitting beside Qin Yue, he uncharacteristically forced a smile.

This scene also attracted the attention of many, and a lot of people shifted their gaze to Zhou Keer.

Fortunately, Zhou Keer was wearing a mask; otherwise, with her stunning looks, it would likely have caused a sensation.

What Zhou Xing didn't know was that in an unnoticed corner of the spectator stands, a woman with long silver-white hair, also wearing a mask, was silently watching Zhou Xing.

Beside her stood a black-robed middle-aged man with a resolute face.

"Yueer, is that the Zhou Xing you mentioned before?"

At this moment, the man slowly spoke.

"Yes, Uncle Li, how is he? Isn't he amazing? In just a few months, he's already reached Control Mid-Stage and is about to enter the Special Training Camp. Speaking of which, I personally scouted him for The Watchers."

The woman's pleasant voice came out, with a hint of pride in her tone.

"Yes, yes, anyone Yueer values certainly won't be bad. However, to be our Li family's son-in-law, his current strength is not enough."

The man looked at the woman in front of him with a somewhat doting expression, nodding as he spoke.

"Uncle Li, if you keep talking like that, I won't talk to you..." The woman's ears instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but lightly stamp her foot.

This person was Li Peng, her father's good brother since childhood, and an elder who watched her grow up—a Peak Law Realm Awakened One.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. And you, running off to Dragon City just because you were sulking. You don't know how much your mother cried every day while you were gone. When you go back this time, you'd better think about how to explain it to your father. He's stubborn but soft-hearted; after losing track of you, he secretly sent countless people to search for you within the borders of Xia Country. You didn't even use your real name, Li Yue, instead changing it to Lin Yue, which made it so hard for me to find you."

Li Peng said with a hint of helplessness.

It turned out that this woman was actually Lin Yue of the Sky Patrol Squad, but for some unknown reason, she had come from Dragon City to Dawn City.

"Hmph, it's his fault for scolding me. Wasn't it just letting a Mutated Beast escape? He made it sound like I committed a heinous crime."

The more Lin Yue thought about it, the angrier she got.

As the daughter of Li Rui, one of The Watchers' Demigod Awakened Ones, she had been pampered since birth.

However, due to a moment of playfulness, she released a rare Mutated Beast that Li Rui had painstakingly captured. After being scolded, she felt wronged and took the opportunity to secretly travel to Xia Country, encountering many dangers before finally reaching Dragon City.

Fortunately, she had secretly taken many protective treasures when she left, otherwise Lin Yue might have died in the wilderness.

Upon her departure, Lin Yue's entire family panicked.

Adding to that, Lin Yue didn't originally have the surname Lin, and she was in a medium-sized city, which further increased the difficulty of finding her.

This time, Lin Yue knew that Zhou Xing was about to enter the Special Training Camp. If she stayed in Dragon City, how would they meet? So, she took the initiative to contact her family.

She was then brought to Dawn City, intending to leave by airship.

However, coming to Dawn City to watch the Special Training Camp selection was Lin Yue's main purpose, so she decided to stay a few more days.

She herself didn't know how she felt about Zhou Xing. Although their time together was limited, she felt very happy just seeing him.

Hearing what Lin Ye said, Li Peng couldn't help but give a wry smile.

My little ancestor, that was an A-grade Mutated Beast, and most importantly, a dual-element Mutated Beast! Although it was only Early Stage A-grade, its full break out had cost Zhou Rui a considerable price to capture it.

It could be said to be priceless, yet Lin Yue secretly released it.

The thought of Lin Yue potentially being devoured by that Mutated Beast made him shudder with lingering fear.

"Your father didn't scold you for letting the Mutated Beast go; he scolded you because he was worried about you. Don't you think, that was an A-grade Mutated Beast?

Even if many of its powers were sealed, if it had suddenly attacked, would you still be alive?"

At this moment, he couldn't help but explain.

Lin Yue immediately fell silent.

At the time, that Mutated Beast looked harmless, like a common chicken, and its aura was very weak.

Who knew it was an A-grade Mutated Beast? Her father didn't explain and just scolded her fiercely.

"Alright, alright, the match is about to begin. Everything else can wait until we get back."

Li Peng's words also made Lin Yue shift her attention to the arena.
