93: Star Crusher

Zhao Si and his teammates brought Lin Ye to the city's center.

This was a very inconspicuous building, but its guard level indicated it was far from ordinary.

Zhao Si introduced, "Don't be fooled by its plain appearance; this is actually the Star Realm Administration of Xia Country, responsible for the development of the Star Realm and the deployment of ability users. It's considered the most powerful agency in our Xia Country. The reason it's built so plainly is because the leaders above are particularly low-key and dislike extravagance."

Lin Ye expressed his understanding; in his previous life, the administrative center of his country was also very low-key.

Zhao Si completed the handover with the guard, entrusting Lin Ye to him.

The guard was very serious, meticulous, and stood ramrod straight.

Upon arriving at this important location in Xia Country, Lin Ye also became serious, not looking around even though everything felt new and exciting.

The agency was a bustling place.

The working officials didn't even look at him, busy with their own tasks.

The guard led Lin Ye through many winding paths, bringing him to an office door marked "Director's Office."

"Director Yang, Lin Ye has been brought," the guard said respectfully to the person inside. Lin Ye even detected a hidden fanaticism in his tone.

The Director's surname is Yang?

"Come in."

A clear male voice came from inside the door.

The guard opened the door and gestured for Lin Ye to enter.

As Lin Ye entered the room and saw the appearance of the person working at the desk, his eyes widened.

"Chief Yang?"

That's right, this man was none other than the legendary figure, Shattering Star Fist, Yang Hongyu.

Yang Hongyu looked up and said with a smile, "It seems my influence is still quite good."

Lin Ye quickly said, "Of course, Chief Yang, you are our human hero! Without you, humanity would still be in dire straits."

Yang Hongyu stood up, walked to the sofa, and sat down. He gestured for Lin Ye to sit on the sofa opposite him, and a guard entered to pour them tea.

Lin Ye quickly sat down, but didn't dare to fully relax, feeling extremely reserved.

He hadn't expected this legendary figure to actually meet him.

Yang Hongyu, two meters and two centimeters tall, was born in 2068 into a poor family. His parents had both sacrificed themselves during the turmoil of that time, leaving him as an only child to grow up in an orphanage.

At that time, Blue Star had only recently entered the era of abilities, and there was much friction with surrounding races.

However, because both technology and the path of abilities were far behind, they suffered many defeats. If it weren't for the Galaxy Alliance protecting civilizations like Blue Star that had just entered the Star Realm, they would have likely been invaded and annihilated long ago.

Growing up in such an environment, Yang Hongyu was determined from a young age to serve his country. Due to his outstanding talent, Yang Hongyu, not yet eight years old, was noticed by the hastily established Youth Class at the time.

He was a prodigy, dominating the Youth Class and standing out.

He was then cultivated with all of Xia Country's resources, taking on the only top-tier profession developed by Xia Country at that time—Shattering Star Fist.

Relying on his monstrous talent, he advanced rapidly, breaking through to Star Level before the age of thirty.

After another hundred years, having achieved an extremely prominent accomplishment at the Star Level, he swept through various races, leaving surrounding forces with no temper, allowing humanity to firmly establish itself.

He made Xia Country untouchable on the international stage.

This legendary figure had an ordinary appearance, a tall build, a square face, yet he was not rigid, and his smile was gentle.

"No need to be so nervous," Yang Hongyu took a sip of tea.

"Ah, alright." Although he said so, Lin Ye still kept his back ramrod straight, holding his tea and taking a few sips, not tasting anything.

"When I heard that a young genius like you appeared in the professional arena, I actually wanted to meet you then. But the Mohe Clan requested assistance, so I sent you to see your true colors. I didn't expect you to truly not disappoint me," Yang Hongyu was very satisfied with Lin Ye.

"Thank you for your concern, Chief," Lin Ye hadn't expected to have caught the Chief's eye so early.

"The reason I called you here this time is to arrange your future, to prevent a young genius like you from perishing. Come, let me see your strength."

As soon as Yang Hongyu finished speaking, Lin Ye found that they had instantly moved to an empty training ground.

"Strike at me with full force."

Lin Ye didn't ask further, took a deep breath, and fully activated Muscle Master and Star Force Body Armor.

Cannon Fist.

The dark fist was like an enraged dragon, but it was blocked by Yang Hongyu with one hand.

Yang Hongyu flicked a finger, sending Lin Ye flying.

Lin Ye felt as if every single cell had been suppressed by that one finger.

"Not bad, your abilities have all reached the peak of perfection. That's truly surprising," Yang Hongyu hadn't expected that the Undying Soul Lin Ye had absorbed after reaching Tier 6 had also reached the peak of perfection.

That's right, two months had passed since Lin Ye absorbed the Undying Soul, and Lin Ye had naturally raised it to the peak of perfection.

"It's a pity that the Star Power series of abilities only absorbed a Gold Level one, but there's still a chance for remedy."

Lin Ye got up and asked in surprise, "Chief Yang, are there higher-level abilities for Star Force?"

Yang Hongyu nodded, "Not just Star Force, but Star Force Body Armor and Strength Energy Control also have higher-level abilities. It's just that they don't exist within the Star Realm territory controlled by us humans."

He walked forward and patted Lin Ye's shoulder, saying, "However, it's not too late to remedy it. It just so happens that I have some connections with a supreme expert of another race."

Lin Ye hadn't expected Yang Hongyu to value him so much, incurring such a great favor for him. He said emotionally, "Thank you, Chief."

Yang Hongyu smiled, "As long as you are devoted to Xia Country and to humanity in the future, that's enough. I've also reviewed your background, and I'm very confident in you. We won't restrict you or make you join a national department to be constrained."

Lin Ye hadn't expected such good news.

"For your arrangements, I have two proposals here. One is to enter the Genius Training Camp, which gathers the most top-tier geniuses from all of Xia Country. Most of them are destined for the military, so their identities are not exposed."

"The second is to experience the Star Realm. Only the Star Realm is the best place to train ability users. As for your club, you don't need to go there, and don't attend school either. They are useless for your growth. Don't worry about them, the country has already made arrangements for you."

Lin Ye pondered carefully. Of these two paths, the Genius Training Camp seemed more like a safe haven for him. The training there would have limited effect on him, as he relied on the panel to add points.

But Star Realm experience seemed a bit dangerous.

Yang Hongyu seemed to see his apprehension and added, "During your Star Realm experience, the country will bestow upon you a life-saving device."

Lin Ye didn't hesitate, "Then I choose Star Realm experience."

Yang Hongyu had an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

In a flash, Lin Ye was brought back to the office by Yang Hongyu.

A guard walked in, "Director Yang, the items you requested have arrived."

Yang Hongyu took the items and handed them to Lin Ye.

"Heart of Protection. Even a Star Level wouldn't be able to kill you. However, if you activate it, you must honestly go to the Genius Training Camp."

Lin Ye nodded, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Chief Yang."
