392: Chapter 392 used all its strength!
Zhong Huai shook the device in his hand.
“Routine check. I need to collect your basic data. It won't have any impact.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yu acknowledged, turned his head back, and said casually, “Go ahead.”
It was as if he wasn't the one being scanned at all.
Zhong Huai took a deep breath and pressed the start button.
A faint blue beam, invisible to the naked eye, shot from the top of the device and enveloped Lin Yu's entire body.
On the device's screen, complex runes and data streams began to flicker rapidly.
Zhong Huai and Wen Yan both stared intently at the screen.
Three seconds later.
A soft “beep.”
The analysis was complete.
The final evaluation report popped up on the screen.
Zhong Huai looked at the data displayed, his pupils dilating bit by bit.
【Energy Level: E-】
【Comprehensive Combat Power Assessment: 17】
How could this data possibly support Wen Yan's claim that he “could trade blows with Qin Zhan”?
Zhong Huai slowly turned his head to look at Wen Yan beside him.
A flash of surprise crossed Wen Yan's face, but he quickly regained his composure and fell into deep thought.
He showed no signs of wavering or self-doubt.
This resolute demeanor made Zhong Huai's anger flare up instantly.
“Wen Yan, are you playing games with me?” Zhong Huai lowered his voice, squeezing the words out through gritted teeth.
He raised the device in his hand, almost poking it into Wen Yan's face.
“This is the military's latest 'Source Energy Fluctuation Detector,' with a core Abyss Domain energy scanning array. The error rate is less than one in a billion!”
“This thing, never mind a person, even if a Starry Sky Behemoth cub wearing human skin stood here, it could analyze its energy lineage back eighteen generations!”
“If it says this kid's combat power is seventeen, then it's seventeen! It can't be one hundred and seventy!”
Zhong Huai grew more and more agitated as he spoke.
He came from a technical background himself and had an almost superstitious trust in these top-tier devices.
Moreover, he had already reviewed Lin Yu's file beforehand.
“I've seen this kid's entire file! A few months ago, his data was even worse than this! He was just an utterly ordinary high school student, one who had even delayed his exams for five years!”
“I checked his data just a few days ago, and it was almost identical to this!”
“You're telling me he can fight the Boss? A fraction of a fraction of a fraction of one of the Boss's fingers is stronger than his entire energy reaction!”
Wen Yan remained silent, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Yu and the device's screen.
He did not refute him.
Because the data was right there, cold and objective.
But the terrifying chill he felt in the S-Class Duel Arena that froze all thought was equally real and undeniable.
“I stand by my judgment, Officer Zhong Huai—and if he were truly that ordinary, why are you also paying so much attention to him?”
Zhong Huai was speechless for a moment. He couldn't exactly say that he and Qin Zhan had both lost their minds and imagined a grand drama...
However, seeing Wen Yan's stubborn, unyielding attitude, Zhong Huai's anger flared up again.
He simply put away the device, deciding to verify it in his own way.
“Fine, you don't believe the machine, you trust your intuition.” Zhong Huai sneered.
“Then I'll show you what the 'intuition' of a technical support guy is like!”
He pressed his index and middle fingers together and lightly wiped them across his eyes.
A layer of pale golden light, invisible to ordinary people, flashed across his irises and vanished.
【Soul-Seeing Eye】!
This was his core skill as a Fangs tactical analyst, capable of directly reading a target's four-dimensional attributes!
This should finally make Wen Yan give up on that strange fantasy, right?
An invisible stream of information instantly flooded into Zhong Huai's mind.
【Target: Lin Yu】
【Strength: 600】
【Constitution: 600】
【Agility: 500】
【Spirit: 500】
Zhong Huai recited the detected values directly.
“Four-dimensional attributes: Strength and Constitution are six hundred, Agility and Spirit are five hundred.”
He spread his hands toward Wen Yan, his face wearing a mocking expression that said, “See? I told you so.”
“These stats are considered talented among newcomers who have just completed their job change, at best.”
“But what does this have to do with Commander Qin Zhan?”
“The Boss can shatter a meteorite with one punch! What is he going to use to fight the Boss? His head?”
Zhong Huai felt like he was about to be driven crazy by Wen Yan's stubbornness.
It was like a world-class physicist insisting that one plus one equals three; no one could talk him out of it.
Wen Yan's brow also furrowed.
There was a massive disconnect between Zhong Huai's data and his own judgment.
He was starting to get confused too. Could he have really sensed it wrong?
No, that was impossible. That experience of having his very soul frozen was definitely not an illusion.
“The data might not be wrong,” Wen Yan finally spoke, his voice somewhat dry, “but I still stand by my judgment.”
He looked at Zhong Huai, enunciating each word.
“I have already invited him to return to the Fangs base for a comprehensive, in-depth test after this matter is concluded.”
Hearing this, Zhong Huai originally wanted to continue refuting, but a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind.
Wait.
Invite him back to the base? A test? Why am I arguing with him about this?
Zhong Huai's thinking shifted instantly.
What was their mission?
It was to narrow down the scope, find the person who triggered the Divine Revelation Mission, and bring them back to the base!
There were currently two potential targets: Lin Yao and Zhao Tianyang.
And wasn't his other task to arrange a test for Lin Yu to appease the Boss's sense of procedural justice...
Wen Yan kept saying that this Lin Yu had massive issues. So what was there to hesitate about!
Zhong Huai slapped his thigh.
“That's right! A test! It must be tested!”
The irritation on his face vanished, replaced by a sudden, enlightened excitement.
“Who cares who triggered the Divine Revelation Mission! Who cares if his combat power is seventeen or seventeen thousand!”
Zhong Huai extended his finger and pointed in the air.
“After this fight is over, that guy named Zhao Tianyang, his sister Lin Yao, and him too!”
His finger finally landed on Lin Yu.
“Round them all up! Pack them all up and take them away!”
“Oh, right, and that chuunibyou downstairs named Yan Pojun, he needs to be taken back and locked in solitary confinement too!”
“Bring all the suspicious personnel back to the base and let the Boss have a headache over them personally! Won't our mission be accomplished then?”
Zhong Huai felt that he was simply a genius.
Whatever logical loopholes or data contradictions existed, they were not a problem in the face of absolute authority and violent execution.
Having resolved the great worry in his heart, Zhong Huai relaxed completely.
Only then did he notice that from beginning to end, the youth named Lin Yu hadn't even turned his head once.
His entire attention was firmly nailed to the arena below.
That focused expression made it seem as if he were watching a legendary, world-shaking battle.
Zhong Huai looked in the direction of his gaze.
At this moment, in the arena, one hundred and forty-one burly men were surrounding Yan Pojun, forming an airtight encirclement formation.
And opposite them, the girl named Lin Yao stood all alone.
What was there to see in this?
On one side was the Military God of Slaughter with over a hundred old veterans.
On the other side was an ungraduated high school girl.
However, that Lin Yao's strength was indeed quite good. If Yan Pojun hadn't made a move immediately, the others would probably have been wiped out by Lin Yao in one go.
Unfortunately... Yan Pojun not only made a move, but he used every ounce of his strength!
