236: Kidnapping Tian Ji

The setting sun disappeared, and the bright moon hung high.

Today's Martial Exam was a challenge for all the examinees.

For 007 Forest, it was even more of a baptism.

As the time approached the final ten-plus minutes, the examinees' fight for points had reached a fever pitch.

On the ranking list at this time.

Top ten.

Nine of them were seed contestants from the nine major safe zones!

And the first...

It was a name that was relatively unfamiliar to many.

Duanmu Mingyue.

Compared to Su Sanxiao in second place, Duanmu Mingyue's score was a full one hundred points higher!

Converted into fierce beasts, this was equivalent to 10 mature B-grade fierce beasts!

With this kind of gap, the first position was beyond doubt!

Above Sky Vault Main City.

Gu Yan and Wang Datong, along with other proctors, had also returned to their proctor seats at this time.

As soon as they reached their respective seats.

Wang Datong was surrounded by a crowd of reporters.

That incredible and terrifying method of instantly binding the Forest King would likely be written about in newspapers for a hundred issues.

The Forest King, the great hidden danger to Humans for decades, finally died at the hands of the nine proctors!

If there were no surprises, the death of the Forest King would completely shape the nine proctor Teachers into individuals with unparalleled strength.

This was history!

Time flowed by second by second.

At exactly 12:00 AM, with millions of people watching, the second Martial Exam ended with the Host's announcement!

Finally.

According to the scores on the ranking list.

One thousand people successfully advanced.

The first place, Duanmu Mingyue, undoubtedly burst into people's view completely.

At the same time, in the Hospital.

Dragon Sky, wrapped in bandages all over his body.

Seeing this result, the deep unwillingness in his already ashen eyes intensified.

First place was not him, and it could no longer be him.

"Su Wei!" In an instant, thinking of the person who had harmed him to this extent, Dragon Sky's eyes held only extreme hatred!

He must make this person die!

Above the Main City.

Gu Yan saw Duanmu Mingyue from afar.

At this moment, her face was beaming with smiles, surrounded by people from the Duanmu Family.

He didn't go to disturb them.

Gu Yan adjusted the mask on his face and quietly walked down the stage.

"Where are you going?" Huang Lie glanced at Gu Yan from beside him.

"Something came up temporarily."

"But there's a meeting later... Those two Lords..."

The two Lords Huang Lie referred to were Sun Family Head and Duanmu Family Head, these two Beast Taming Grandmasters.

It was clear that the content of the meeting, if one was held, could only be related to the Forest King.

"The information I know, you all know as well. It won't matter if I'm missing from the meeting."

Gu Yan's words made Huang Lie open his mouth, unsure what to say.

"Then remember to be present for the Martial Exam Finals the day after tomorrow."

Finally, Huang Lie only added this one sentence.

The day after tomorrow.

It was the final round of the Martial Exam, with two-on-two duels, finally determining the top hundred, top ten, top three, and the champion.

...

On the dim street.

In front of Gu Yan was an unfolded System light screen.

System Task: Kidnap Heavenly Machine.

Description: Heavenly Machine is one of Su Wei's strongest trump cards. Now that Su Wei is not beside Heavenly Machine, Heavenly Machine's threat level has dropped to the lowest when existing alone. It is recommended that the Host kidnaps Heavenly Machine at this critical time to completely remove one of Su Wei's major trump cards.

Task Failure: Host's wretched Aura increases by 100%.

Task Success: Host's contracted beast, Heavenly Fire Divine Chicken and Nether Spring Divine Duck, will collectively increase their growth stage by one level.

Task Time Limit: Two hours.

The reason Gu Yan left early was largely due to this System task.

If it weren't for the System's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about Heavenly Machine's existence.

Whether it was the reward for a successful task or eliminating a major helper for Su Wei, he had no reason to ignore Heavenly Machine!

However, in Gu Yan's opinion, dealing with Heavenly Machine relying solely on himself would undoubtedly involve many uncertain factors.

Taking out his telephone, Gu Yan dialed a number.

"Hello? Who is this?" On the other end of the line, Sun Hui's slightly puzzled voice appeared.

"It's me."

"Who are you?"

Gu Yan: "...Gu Yan."

"What?" Sun Hui's voice suddenly rose with anger: "Gu Ge has already been dead for seven days, and you're impersonating him to me?!"

His mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Yan patiently said: "Within ten minutes, bring the strongest experts you can mobilize to District 98, Grade A Street."

This tone and attitude made Sun Hui on the other end of the line pause: "You... are you really Gu Ge?"

"You'll know if you bring people."

Having no time to chat, Gu Yan hung up the telephone.

Then, he dialed a second number.

It was the eldest young Master of the Zhong Family from Sky Vault Main City.

He made four calls in a row.

Not long after.

On the dark street, three people arrived.

From afar, through the long shadows in the lamplight, one could see that the arrivals were two White-Haired Old Men and a stout person.

"Gu Ge!" Wu Family's eldest young Master, Wu Dun, saw Gu Yan on the street, and his chubby face was filled with excitement.

"You're really alive!"

On the edge of the Main City, the situation where Gu Yan risked his life to save him still filled Wu Dun with emotion.

"Two Grand Beast Taming Masters." Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, glancing at the two people behind Wu Dun.

"How about it? Gu Ge, you said you needed to bring experts, so I directly invited our Wu Family's two great offerings! Am I loyal enough?" Wu Dun said grandly: "Gu Ge, if you need anything, feel free to command!"

"It's not that I need anything." Gu Yan smiled, and then said: "I discovered the real culprit behind your kidnapping. I called everyone to seek revenge."

"The real culprit who kidnapped us?" Another voice emerged.

Gu Yan and Wu Dun turned their heads to look and found that the person who arrived was Zhong Family's young Master, Zhong Sao, with his long hair.

He brought two Intermediate Beast Tamer Grandmasters and one Grand Beast Taming Master.

"That alien robot?" Zhong Sao said with a look of confusion: "Didn't that guy get locked up in prison?"

Yesterday, almost no one didn't know about Heavenly Machine being imprisoned.

"He's already out of prison."

"Out of prison?!" Zhong Sao's eyes showed surprise, but he did not doubt Gu Yan's words.

"Then this is perfect." Tossing his hair, Zhong Sao's gaze was ruthless: "The debt for kidnapping this young Master can only be repaid by this young Master!"

A few minutes later.

Duanmu Shuangkui and Sun Hui arrived one after another.

Both of them had a strong sense of excitement that Gu Yan was still alive.

It's worth mentioning.

Sun Hui directly brought Sun Family Head, which was his Dad.

This indeed made Gu Yan stiffen slightly.

"Where is that guy who escaped from prison? Let's resolve it quickly, I still have a meeting to attend."

Sun Family Head looked at his watch.

The Aura of a Beast Taming Grandmaster, even without revealing the slightest bit, still intimidated the offerings from the other families like little lambs.

"Follow me." Gu Yan didn't delay.

...

Moonlight shone into the room.

On the display screen in front of Heavenly Machine were various surveillance perspectives.

After Su Wei fled by holding that Gu Proctor hostage, Heavenly Machine had never again been able to capture Su Wei's location using cameras.

Its intuition told it that Master Su Wei was currently in a very dangerous situation, but unfortunately, it couldn't even find Su Wei now.

"It seems I have to go out and search."

Standing up somewhat dejectedly.

Because of its Master Su Wei, Heavenly Machine had not had a single day of peace.

Casually picking up the Black Robe from the side.

Putting it on.

Walking towards the room door.

"Bang!"

The sturdy room door was suddenly kicked open by a foot!

In an instant.

A large group of people surged into the room, surrounding Heavenly Machine completely!
