There's a mole; take him down immediately.
“Master Wei’s suggestion is good.” Wang Qing fully agreed.
Xu Kang considered it for a moment and did not object.
“I also agree.”
“However, I have a suggestion.”
“We can add a practical combat subject after the exam.”
“Let these students team up to challenge Lin Yuan.”
“Students are all proud and arrogant; directly giving Lin Yuan the top ranking might make them unconvinced.”
“But if they personally understand the gap between themselves and Lin Yuan, they should be convinced.”
“But doing this will be a bit tough on Lin Yuan.”
“No problem,” Lin Yuan shrugged.
“As long as you’re not worried about them being traumatized.”
“Heh, what’s there to worry about?” Xu Kang laughed heartily.
“If they can’t even overcome such a small setback, they shouldn’t choose the path of Professionals; they should just go home and stay there.”
“Xiaodie, what do you think?” Xu Kang turned to look at Huang Xiaodie, who had been silent.
“I have no objections.” Huang Xiaodie’s expression was cold.
As if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Interestingly,
This woman named Huang Xiaodie,
Was one of the core members of the Sea God Cult.
Unexpectedly, her identity was actually the Deputy Director of the Binhai City Education Bureau.
No wonder she was able to obtain detailed information about this exam.
Huang Xiaodie glanced at Lin Yuan.
Her gaze was very calm.
As long as it didn't affect the plan for the Sea God's Advent,
Whether Lin Yuan participated in the exam or not was irrelevant to Huang Xiaodie.
After the Sea God's Advent,
All order would be overturned.
The so-called geniuses of the past would merely be slaves to Lord Sea God.
However, this Lin Yuan in front of her indeed had some potential.
Perhaps in the future, he would become a capable subordinate of Lord Sea God.
Thinking of this,
Huang Xiaodie activated the Mark of the Sea on Lin Yuan.
The Mark of the Sea caused no damage.
Its only purpose was to imprint a trace of the Sea God's aura on Lin Yuan,
To facilitate quickly locating Lin Yuan when the Sea God descended.
Huang Xiaodie thought she had done it covertly,
Unbeknownst to her, when she released the Mark of the Sea on Lin Yuan,
It was immediately discovered by Zero.
“Master, that woman just released some kind of mark on you.”
“This mark won’t cause you any damage, but it will serve as a positioning tool.”
After Zero finished speaking, it quickly transformed from its fighter jet form into its mobile suit form.
Green light shot out from its eyes,
Scanning Huang Xiaodie without reservation.
“Name: Huang Xiaodie, age 36, level 54, currently Deputy Director of the Binhai City Education Bureau.”
“Race: Mixed-blood human, possessing thirty percent Merfolk bloodline, injected post-natally.”
Zero's words did not avoid others.
Wang Qing, Wei Ming, and Xu Kang all heard them.
Lin Yuan showed a playful look.
“Instead of being a proper human, you choose to be a mongrel.”
“What were you thinking?”
Zero directly exposed Huang Xiaodie's identity in front of everyone.
This made Huang Xiaodie's face extremely ugly.
She had been hiding in Binhai City for decades without being exposed.
Yet this strange mech in front of her just glanced at her,
And saw through her Merfolk bloodline.
It was incredible!
Huang Xiaodie looked up at the others.
Wang Qing stood in front of Wei Ming, showing a wary expression.
Xu Kang's face was complex.
“Xiaodie, shouldn’t you explain?”
“Explain?” Huang Xiaodie said coldly.
“There’s no need anymore.”
Two black sea forks appeared in Huang Xiaodie’s hands.
Her figure flashed, instantly disappearing from her original spot.
When she reappeared, she was already behind Lin Yuan.
Huang Xiaodie knew she didn't have full confidence in escaping from Xu Kang and Wang Qing,
So she planned to take Lin Yuan hostage.
Huang Xiaodie's apparent profession was Assassin,
But after acquiring the Merfolk bloodline, her profession had changed to Sea Hunter.
Sea Hunter not only possessed some of the Assassin's skills,
But could also manipulate water currents in combat.
Huang Xiaodie's sudden disappearance just now,
Was due to using Water Escape.
“Lin Yuan, be careful!” A very imposing Tiger-Head Saber appeared in Wang Qing’s hand.
A terrifying murderous aura surged from him.
He wanted to save Lin Yuan, but he was also worried that Huang Xiaodie's real target was Wei Ming,
So he only locked onto Huang Xiaodie with his aura and warned Lin Yuan.
Xu Kang took out a green longbow.
He drew the bow and shot an arrow.
This arrow was not meant to cause damage, but merely to interfere with Huang Xiaodie.
But a strange current of water appeared around Huang Xiaodie's body,
Making Xu Kang's arrow return without effect.
Just as the steel fork in Huang Xiaodie's hand was about to touch Lin Yuan's body,
A barrier containing powerful electromagnetic energy appeared around Lin Yuan's body.
Zero had made its move.
A red light flared in Zero's eyes, indicating its extreme anger.
“How dare you attack my Master!”
“Unforgivable!”
Zero was now a Level 55, Tier 6 mobile suit.
Currently,
Zero's combat power could be considered the strongest under Lin Yuan's command.
If the Dark Demon Dragon appeared again,
Zero wouldn't even need to activate its Super Overload state to cripple the Dark Demon Dragon.
With such formidable combat power,
How could Lin Yuan possibly be harmed?
Huang Xiaodie's weapon touched the electromagnetic barrier,
As if she had touched an electric switch,
Her entire body twitched incessantly.
Zero flicked its right hand, and with a “buzz,”
A blue laser sword appeared before everyone's eyes.
With a simple 'Forceful Mountain Split' move,
It prepared to cleave Huang Xiaodie in half.
“Zero, keep her alive,” Lin Yuan called out to stop it.
The reason for keeping her alive was that Mu Tianxing had told Lin Yuan that a mysterious Dungeon would descend on Binhai City in three days.
At this critical juncture,
He encountered a Professional with Merfolk bloodline again.
There must be a connection between the two.
Moreover, this woman was definitely not a lone wolf.
There must be an organization behind her.
It's possible that the organization behind this woman,
Is similar to the previous Dark Knight Guild,
Lurking in Binhai City, trying to cause trouble.
Zero had intended to cut Huang Xiaodie in half with a single sword strike,
But hearing Lin Yuan's request to keep her alive,
The laser sword shifted slightly,
Only severing one of Huang Xiaodie's arms and one leg.
“Ah!” Huang Xiaodie snapped out of the electric shock state,
Only to be struck by the laser sword.
The intense pain nearly made her faint on the spot.
Her body suffered a heavy blow,
And a self-protection mechanism appeared.
Blue scales slowly began to grow on her skin,
And fish-like gills grew near her neck.
Her severed arm and leg actually grew back.
After her injuries recovered, Huang Xiaodie stood up from the ground,
Hunching her back,
Covered in scales, her human head had turned into a fish head.
This was completely the appearance of a merman.
“Ugh…” Lin Yuan’s face showed an expression of disgust.
“Instead of being a proper human, you choose to be an ugly monster.”
“Are you brain-damaged?”
Lin Yuan waved his hand, signaling Zero to end the battle quickly.
Looking at such an ugly thing for too long would affect his mood.
Lin Yuan didn't want to throw up everything he had eaten for lunch.
