262: Welcoming Su Yuan, the Eight Realms arrive

Who says he isn't? Student Su Yuan's speed might not be inferior even when compared to the Director.

Deputy Director Ma Qianhua rose from his seat, and Lu Yue also stood up.

"Student Su Yuan's speed is already faster than mine."

Beside them, Liu Qinsheng, sitting in his spot, made a startling remark.

"What!"

Lu Yue and Deputy Director Ma Qianhua looked at their President (Director), dumbfounded.

"Given Student Su Yuan's talent, after refining the tianyang true spirit pill, his Realm might already be close to the Peak Sixth Realm."

"A Sixth Realm High Stage in the first semester of his freshman year—just thinking about it is terrifying."

Liu Qinsheng's eyes were slightly vacant as he stared blankly ahead.

Just what kind of Prodigy and Genius had their Xiwu Province produced?

From the end of the Martial Arts Examination until now, a period of over four months, Su Yuan's Realm had skyrocketed from Fifth Realm Initial Stage to Sixth Realm High Stage.

The extent of the increase was extremely exaggerated.

"Regardless, Student Su Yuan is someone who emerged from our Xiwu Province."

"It is a good thing that he is willing to actively support the Kaitan Beast Tide this time."

"President, let's go welcome Student Su Yuan."

Lu Yue stood beside Liu Qinsheng and whispered to him.

"Alright."

Liu Qinsheng's expression changed, and he immediately adjusted his attire seriously, adopting a posture as if he were welcoming an Eighth Realm Martial Artist from Wudu Province.

Seeing this, Lu Yue and Deputy Director Ma Qianhua also adjusted their own attire.

The current Su Yuan was different; he couldn't be treated merely as a student.

Just the position of provisional captain of the Law Enforcement Department First Squad of the Jing Province Martial Arts Association was enough to command their respect.

Currently, every member of the Law Enforcement Department First Squad had outstanding military achievements and were uniformly Seventh Realm Martial Artists, and that unknown captain was even an Eighth Realm Martial Artist.

Furthermore, Su Yuan's initiative to rush to Kaitan City for support meant that this willingness was enough for the officials of Kaitan City and the high-ranking members of the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association to treat him seriously.

Xiang Renxing and the several Vice Presidents who were introducing themselves to Su Yuan immediately stepped aside when they heard footsteps approaching from behind.

"Student Su Yuan, long time no see."

Liu Qinsheng smiled broadly, his tone gentle as he gazed at Su Yuan.

Lu Yue, who had dealt with Su Yuan second only to Liu Qinsheng, also greeted him with a smile.

Deputy Director Ma Qianhua had only met Su Yuan once, but he now acted as if he were very familiar with him.

"President Liu, Vice President Lu, Deputy Director Ma."

Su Yuan greeted them one by one, responding with a smile.

Since their parting at the gate of Zhanfeng University, he had not seen Liu Qinsheng.

"Don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk."

Liu Qinsheng slightly turned sideways, gesturing for Su Yuan to enter the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association.

"Oh!"

"Look at my clumsy brain."

Xiang Renxing slapped his head hard, his face full of regret.

He should have invited Su Yuan inside earlier.

When their group saw Su Yuan arrive, they were all grinning ear to ear, and in their oversight, they had just kept standing outside.

"It's fine."

Liu Qinsheng glanced at Xiang Renxing, thinking to himself that this kid was probably dizzy with excitement.

"Okay."

Su Yuan didn't mind this and followed the large group into the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association.

Inside the hall, some of the young people on duty looked over with envious expressions.

Most of them were young people who had joined the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association after graduation and were only a few years older than Su Yuan.

Yet Su Yuan was still studying, only in his freshman year, and already enjoyed such prestige, being ushered in by the high-ranking officials of the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association and even the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association.

In contrast, they were still working at the grassroots level; this comparison truly showed how infuriating it was to compare oneself to others.

However, envy was one thing, but they still honestly went about their duties.

Work at the Martial Arts Association was hard-earned; almost everyone had slowly climbed up from the bottom.

As long as they persisted, they would eventually have their day.

The group took the elevator up to the fifth floor.

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Yuan walked into a spacious office.

On the right side of the office hung a gilded badge engraved with the character 'Ren'.

The gilded badge was about the size of four basketballs and extremely conspicuous.

Su Yuan glanced at it and knew that this was the work of their President, Xiang Renxing.

All around, various metal cabinets stood, filled with countless documents.

Of course, those displayed outside were not classified documents, but just some simple public files.

Besides these, there were several large desks and some Martial Dao instruments used for testing.

In the center of the office, a large round table was placed, used for important meetings.

"Student Su Yuan, please take a seat. Don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home."

Xiang Renxing pointed to the chairs beside the desks and said to him.

Su Yuan looked around; since no one was seated yet, he naturally couldn't do so.

"I am a Junior, so please, seniors, take your seats first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qinsheng found a spot and sat down first.

The meeting had just ended, so there was no need to be overly formal now.

Next, Lu Yue and Deputy Director Ma Qianhua sat down beside Liu Qinsheng, followed by Xiang Renxing and the high-ranking officials of the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association.

Finally, Su Yuan found an empty seat and sat down casually.

"First of all, we welcome Student Su Yuan for specifically coming to support the Kaitan Beast Tide."

Liu Qinsheng gave Su Yuan a look of respect.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted, making Su Yuan feel a little embarrassed; why was this so grand?

Su Yuan immediately stood up and addressed the crowd.

"Thank you, everyone."

"I have only one goal for coming here: to help Kaitan City eliminate all the attacking exotic beasts and completely eradicate the crisis brought by the Kaitan Beast Tide."

"If there is anything needed from me during this Kaitan Beast Tide, please feel free to instruct me."

"Well said!"

Suddenly, a slightly rough voice sounded from outside the main door.

They saw a strong man, fully 2.1 meters tall, standing at the office entrance; merely standing there brought a heavy sense of pressure.

Beside him stood a woman with a fiery figure, her eyes fixed on Su Yuan with interest.

"This time, the Kaitan Beast Tide will surely be annihilated!"

After the strong man finished speaking, he and the woman walked into the office. Liu Qinsheng and the others instantly stood up, saying loudly.

"Greetings, Lord Feng and Lord Guan."

Although he did not know the two, Su Yuan followed Liu Qinsheng and the others in calling out 'Lord Feng and Lord Guan'.

It was obvious that anyone President Liu addressed as 'Lord' must be an Eighth Realm Martial Artist who had come from another province to provide support.

"No need for formalities."

Feng Xingtian motioned for everyone to sit down, then he and Guan Wenqian casually found seats.

"Since everyone is here, I will now discuss the upcoming arrangements."

Seeing that the two Eighth Realm Martial Artists and Su Yuan were all in position, Liu Qinsheng looked at Xiang Renxing.

"President Xiang, have one Vice President stay behind at the Kaitan City Martial Arts Association to lead ten percent of the association's personnel in controlling the protective energy shield."

"Remember to ensure smooth communication and be ready to follow my command at any time."

"Another ten percent will guard the association, and the remaining eighty percent will follow us outside Kaitan City."

Xiang Renxing nodded with a solemn expression, saying, "Understood, President Liu."

Liu Qinsheng then swept his gaze over Lu Yue, Deputy Director Ma Qianhua, Su Yuan, Feng Xingtian, and Guan Wenqian.

"The Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm Martial Artists present here will follow me to the front line shortly to prepare for the attack."

"This includes Student Su Yuan."

"Currently, near the outskirts of Kaitan City, fifteen thousand combatants are gathered, ranging from the Sixth Realm to the Third Realm, and they were ready several hours ago."
