391: Chapter 391 Something More Important
On the arena, Yan Pojun twisted his neck.
His cervical vertebrae let out a series of crisp, popping sounds like bursting beans.
He prepared to find a few comfortable angles to warm up.
His gaze swept casually across the panoramic glass area above.
Suddenly, Yan Pojun's head stopped moving.
His gaze locked firmly onto the VIP room number one at the very top.
The protective coating of the VIP room had just lowered, and the scene inside was clearly projected onto Yan Pojun's retinas.
A familiar figure sat on the leather sofa.
Wen Yan.
An active, official member of Fangs.
One of his immediate superiors.
Yan Pojun's heart skipped a beat on the spot.
Officer Wen?
Why is he here?
Isn't he supposed to be executing a top-secret mission?
Just then, the door to the VIP room opened again.
As the door opened and closed, another figure appeared beside Wen Yan.
Zhong Huai!
Yan Pojun's pupils constricted sharply.
He couldn't be wrong.
That was Zhong Huai!
The man who was nominally ranked fourth in Fangs, but whose actual status might only be second to Commander Qin Zhan!
His retirement match today not only had the frenzied screams of one hundred thousand spectators and the traffic support of the media, but now even his superiors had personally attended.
It was truly... indescribably wonderful!
Yan Pojun closed his eyes, a curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.
This smile was thirty percent smug, seventy percent wild and uninhibited, and ninety percent tyrannical, screaming "nobody better try to steal my spotlight."
He lacked nothing now.
Spectators, media, opponents, and most importantly, an "inspection" from the highest level.
His performance today would be witnessed by Wen Yan and Zhong Huai.
He, Yan Pojun, would draw the most perfect conclusion right here today!
From now on, he would be a member of Fangs without any loose ends!
"Cut off the past!" Commander Qin Zhan's words exploded in his ears once again.
Yan Pojun snapped his eyes open.
Deep in his eyes lay six years of suppressed arrogance and hot-blooded passion.
He wanted everyone to know that the once invincible myth of the Organization was still the upright and indomitable God Yan!
Inside the VIP room, Wen Yan watched Yan Pojun, whose aura had suddenly changed on the arena, a hint of approval showing in his eyes.
That arrogance, which had been smoothed out by the military barracks, reignited at this moment in a more refined and dangerous way.
Not bad.
This is what a Fangs reservist should look like.
Only by cutting off the past can one embrace a new life.
Although Commander Qin Zhan's methods were rough, the results were outstanding.
This time, Yan Pojun's state of mind was completely fulfilled.
Fangs would gain another fierce warrior.
"Tsk, this kid is really putting on a show."
A slightly weary voice sounded from behind.
Wen Yan didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"Officer Zhong Huai! You're finally back?"
Zhong Huai pulled out the sofa chair beside him and sat down with a thud, his whole body sinking into the soft leather as he let out a long sigh.
"Don't even mention it. Do you think I went to have fun? That old fox Chen Jing is stingy as hell; he haggled with me for half an hour over the discount for a few sensors."
Zhong Huai rubbed his temples, his gaze also turning to Yan Pojun below.
"What is he acting out now? Does he really think he's a retired war god returning home in glory?"
Wen Yan's gaze remained locked on the arena as he spoke calmly.
"Isn't this quite good? Let him resolve his inner knots, and he can be more focused after joining the team."
Zhong Huai nodded, accepting this explanation.
He took out the terminal from his pocket, which had been heated up by Qin Zhan's calls.
"Let's not talk about him. Important business comes first."
Zhong Huai's expression became serious.
"Any leads on the Divine Revelation Mission? The boss is pushing hard."
Mentioning the mission, a flash of undisguised embarrassment crossed Wen Yan's face.
He was silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking his head.
"Not yet... The scope is too large. Although there are only two potential targets that meet the criteria, it's impossible to pinpoint them."
Zhong Huai frowned.
This was not good news.
Moreover, this mission was actually not difficult.
Once the target was found, even if he couldn't tell which of the two was the potential trigger during the competition, he could just make direct contact.
Could he not just ask directly?
But Wen Yan was not the type to be negligent.
Did something happen?
Wen Yan's gaze shifted away from the arena, but instead of looking at Zhong Huai, he cast it toward another corner of the box.
There, Lin Yu was watching the arena intently, his elbows resting on his knees, looking like an ordinary spectator.
"Right now, there is something more important than finding the trigger for the Divine Revelation Mission."
Wen Yan's voice was very low.
Zhong Huai followed his gaze and landed on Lin Yu.
A young man who looked harmless to humans and animals was watching with great interest, not even noticing that there was an extra person beside him.
A huge question mark popped up in Zhong Huai's brain.
"Him?"
A high school student, more important than the Thunder Sovereign's Divine Revelation?
Had Wen Yan's brain been caught in a door today?
Wen Yan seemed to see through his confusion and didn't explain much, just saying one sentence that would be enough to shake the entire Fangs base.
"His true strength at the moment is far above mine."
"In the entire Fangs, the only one who can trade blows with him is, I'm afraid... Commander Qin Zhan."
The expression on Zhong Huai's face froze.
His action of picking his ear stopped in mid-air, and his whole person seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
For a moment, his brain went blank.
What nonsense was Wen Yan talking about?
Far above him?
Although Wen Yan's profession leaned towards auxiliary command, it didn't mean his individual combat ability was poor.
On the contrary, even within Fangs, he was recognized as one of the top few in individual combat ability, excluding Qin Zhan!
He just happened to have stronger auxiliary command capabilities!
Only he himself could put on airs as a senior in front of him.
In terms of strength, those who could reliably suppress Wen Yan could be counted on one's fingers.
Now, Wen Yan was saying that a boy who looked to be in his twenties was far above him, and could even trade blows with that monster, Qin Zhan?
More importantly, Zhong Huai had read Lin Yu's detailed dossier, and had administered a test to Lin Yu.
Zhong Huai instinctively wanted to refute, but looking at Wen Yan's face, which was so serious that there wasn't a hint of a joke, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
He understood Wen Yan.
This man never spoke nonsense without basis, especially when it came to assessing combat power.
Zhong Huai's breathing became a bit rapid.
If what Wen Yan said was true...
He forced himself to calm down, his brain running at high speed.
Could it be that Wen Yan's brain was broken now?
"I need to confirm."
Zhong Huai took out a precision instrument that looked like a high-end mobile phone from his tactical belt.
This was the latest "Source Energy Fluctuation Detector" issued within Fangs, which could silently scan and analyze a target's energy level.
"Student Lin?"
Zhong Huai and Wen Yan walked over together.
Lin Yu finally came back to his senses, looked up at them, seeming to wonder when these two had arrived.
"Something up?"
His attention was clearly still on the match below, and his answer was somewhat absent-minded.
