270: Long Xinhan was shocked, and the crowd dispersed.

"Nurse Zhang, what did you just say?"

Yun Yiyao propped herself up on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at Nurse Zhang.

"The messaging app hot search has already exploded. The President and the others have already resolved the second wave of the Kaitan Beast Tide."

"The greatest contributor was Student Su Yuan, who annihilated nearly 200,000 strange beasts by himself."

Nurse Zhang finished relaying the content of the messaging app hot search in two sentences.

As she finished speaking, Yun Yiyao's eyes widened, her body trembled slightly, and the scene before her eyes gradually became hazy.

Yun Yiyao was both shocked and delighted at this moment.

She was shocked that Su Yuan had actually participated in a large-scale beast tide like the Kaitan Beast Tide.

She was delighted that Su Yuan's strength had progressed so quickly, allowing him to annihilate so many strange beasts in one fell swoop.

If it were anyone else, Yun Yiyao would have thought it was a fantasy, but since it was Su Yuan, Yun Yiyao felt this matter was perfectly reasonable.

Only those who knew Su Yuan well understood just how outrageous his talent truly was.

The blurriness in Yun Yiyao's eyes gradually faded, and she forcefully suppressed the urge to cry.

Immediately after, Yun Yiyao recalled the bits and pieces of time she had spent with Su Yuan, and a look of relief gradually appeared on her lips.

The young man she had stopped under the streetlamp in the small alley back then had grown into a major force with an extremely strong presence in a large-scale beast tide.

Yun Yiyao couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed; only a few months had gone by, and Su Yuan had grown to such an extent.

"Nurse Zhang, could we extend the rehabilitation activity time a bit longer?"

"Yi Yao, can your body handle it?"

"I'm fine. My body is mostly okay, but my physical function has declined too much. I need more recovery. If I just hold on and grit my teeth for a little longer, it will pass. I want to recover my physical condition as soon as possible."

"Alright, then we'll delay it a little longer next time."

"Okay."

... Inside a certain Martial Dao training room belonging to the Jing Province Martial Arts Association.

Long Xinhan was sparring with his son, Long Ziji, the two of them using only physical strength for their collision.

Deafening, muffled sounds of impact and the forceful outpouring of fist-to-flesh power created layers of terrifying, visible Qi waves within the Martial Dao training room.

Rather than calling it sparring, it was more accurate to say that Long Xinhan was unilaterally crushing Long Ziji.

Long Xinhan was like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, mercilessly knocking Long Ziji down with a single punch. The latter lay on the ground for a few seconds before immediately springing back up with a carp flip.

Then Long Xinhan continued to knock Long Ziji down, repeating the process.

If someone with high discernment were standing there observing, they would be able to clearly see that every punch Long Xinhan threw covered Long Ziji's body with a faint layer of red flowing light.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door of the Martial Dao training room.

Long Xinhan frowned. It was almost ten o'clock at night; did the Association still have unfinished business?

However, Long Xinhan did not stop training Long Ziji. Looking at Long Ziji charging toward him, he relaxed his expression and said, "Come in."

A figure quickly walked in.

"Vice President, Su Yuan annihilated nearly 200,000 strange beasts in one fell swoop during the large-scale beast tide."

Bang!

Long Xinhan slapped Long Ziji away, who fell heavily to the ground and passed out.

The next moment, Long Xinhan instantly appeared in front of Gao Shi.

"Where did this news come from?"

Gao Shi immediately responded, "It's the hot search on the messaging app. It has completely exploded right now."

Long Xinhan hurriedly pulled out his phone, his eyes quickly scanning the screen.

A moment later, Long Xinhan sucked in a cold breath, his face full of astonishment.

"What terrifying hot search content."

"To have such a performance the first time he participates in a large-scale beast tide, is Su Yuan trying to show off to the Association?"

Then Long Xinhan changed his tone: "I have to say, Su Yuan, you succeeded."

"For such Heaven-Defying merit, our Jing Province Martial Arts Association will record a significant contribution for you."

"Looking at this, his Realm should be close to reaching the Seventh Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist."

Long Xinhan turned around and glanced at the unconscious Long Ziji.

"Expressing an intention is one thing; actual capability is another."

"To have such merit before even joining the Association, when Su Yuan becomes the captain of enforcement department squad one, the other young men will surely be somewhat convinced."

"Gao Shi." Long Xinhan stared at Gao Shi.

"Yes." Gao Shi answered immediately.

"Go and investigate the specific details of this Kaitan Beast Tide—how did Su Yuan manage to annihilate so many strange beasts?"

The messaging app news only mentioned the result of the Kaitan Beast Tide and did not mention the process.

"Understood." Gao Shi nodded and turned to leave the Martial Dao training room.

Seeing Gao Shi leave, Long Xinhan curved his lips into a barely perceptible smile.

"Once Su Yuan officially joins the Law Enforcement Department First Squad, the other members will surely face immense pressure."

Speaking of this, Long Xinhan glanced at Long Ziji again: "This kid's pressure is especially obvious."

"Lately, he's been looking for me to spar with him every day, looking like he won't stop until he achieves something notable."

"Having Su Yuan around will better stimulate the potential of this group of young men."

... Inside Kaitan City.

The howling across the sky gradually weakened, and the scene slowly quieted down.

Despite this, the people of Kaitan City still wore excited expressions.

Xiang Renxing looked at Liu Qinsheng and the others beside him and smiled, "President Liu, please leave the subsequent matters of Kaitan City to us."

"Are you preparing to return to Xiwu Province or..."

Liu Qinsheng pondered for a moment before deciding, "Now that the Kaitan City Beast Tide is concluded, we will return to Xiwu Province."

"Deputy Director Ma Qianhua and the others will temporarily remain in Kaitan City to help you handle the subsequent affairs."

He didn't need to worry about the remaining matters; Xiang Renxing could handle everything himself.

It was better to let Xiang Renxing operate on his own rather than having their group stay in Kaitan City.

The 18,000 participants were mostly brought by Liu Qinsheng from Xiwu Province.

He needed to go back to tally the merits from this beast tide and enter them into the internal System of the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association.

"Understood."

"Thank you, President Liu."

Xiang Renxing said respectfully.

"Su Yuan, what about you?" Liu Qinsheng looked at Su Yuan, who was standing next to Lu Yue.

Now that the Kaitan City Beast Tide was over, Su Yuan should, logically, return to school.

However, Yun Yiyao was still at the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association, so he asked for Su Yuan's opinion.

"I will head to Xiwu Province along with you, President Liu."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said earnestly.

Having not seen Sister Yao for a long time, Su Yuan only intended to take a quick look from outside her hospital room.

He wanted to see how Sister Yao was recovering and how her mood was.

As for a formal meeting, he would wait until Sister Yao was fully recovered.

"Good, then let's set off now."

Liu Qinsheng turned around and looked at the 18,000 participants.

"You may all return home. After I return to the Association and tally the merits from this beast tide, the Association points will be distributed three days from now."

Next, he looked at the members of the Martial Arts Association and the Martial Arts Education Bureau beside him.

"Let's go."

More than twenty Seventh Realm Martial Artists rose off the ground. Su Yuan followed Liu Qinsheng and his party, leaving Kaitan City under the gaze of countless people.

"I'm going home! I killed over thirty strange beasts this time. My Association points will definitely be higher than last time!"

"The number I killed is about the same. Coming to the Kaitan Beast Tide this time was absolutely the right decision."

"Once the Association points are distributed, I must exchange them for a good weapon and strive to kill more strange beasts in the next beast tide!"

Instantly, the 18,000 people departed in different directions, their faces all filled with anticipation.
