101: Chapter 101 I think this kid is capable
"Just kill more exotic beasts."
Chen Qingliu's gaze towards Yue Yun grew even more fond.
He said pointedly, "To be able to brainwash a leadership team in just half a year, exotic beasts certainly have quite the capability!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Yun's gaze gradually deepened.
Yang Qiu was just the one who got dragged out; who knows how many more parasites like Yang Qiu are lurking in human society.
"I will find them and root them out completely!"
"That's the spirit!"
Chen Qingliu smiled even more happily.
The more he looked at Yue Yun, the more he liked him. He couldn't help but offer a hint, "Do you know why, even though Chen Huaijin's son and those guys from Modu University have made moves against you, the higher-ups haven't reacted?"
Yue Yun shook his head.
Although he is currently the only one practicing the Martial Combat Style, in the millennium since the exotic beasts descended, the vast history has not been without other brilliant Beast-Taming Schools, and many of them have met an early end.
The Martial Combat Style looks powerful, but its underlying logic is actually simple.
Being as powerful as Yue Yun is unique to him alone.
Therefore, the actual value is indeed not great.
From this perspective alone, he is indeed not worth the time and energy of the Beast Tamer Association's higher-ups to protect.
The worst-case scenario is merely becoming experimental material.
Moreover, Chen Huaijin is a big shot in the East District Ministry of Education, and his son, Chen Tianrui, is also one of the participants; it must be handled carefully to be dealt with securely.
Yue Yun said thoughtfully, "Is it because of checks and balances?"
"Of course not."
Chen Qingliu shook his head and said meaningfully, "Because the commotion isn't big enough; it hasn't attracted the attention of the higher-ups yet!"
After saying this, he patted Yue Yun on the shoulder.
Watching Chen Qingliu's departing back, Yue Yun's expression shifted from contemplation to realization, and a wild arc curved at the corner of his mouth.
Jianghai Second Middle School, Beast Taming Director's office.
Pan Xuan and He Shuofeng sat on the sofa, smoking cigarettes with their legs crossed, looking as happy and intoxicated as could be.
"It's still more comfortable in the city."
He Shuofeng gently exhaled a smoke ring and couldn't help but take a few more looks at the cigarette in his hand, "The road to the Mist Sea has been repaired several times, making it much easier to travel than before, but these things are still in short supply!"
Pan Xuan flicked the ash, a look of reminiscence appearing on his face.
He said, "Didn't they build the base stations?"
"The magnetic field changes are too great; the base stations aren't very useful either."
He Shuofeng stated the facts helplessly, "The Mist Sea is truly becoming more and more unstable. In these five years, it has advanced more than ten meters, and recently, one can even see the figures of large exotic beasts moving..."
He Shuofeng seemed to recall something and didn't continue.
He smacked his lips as if still wanting more, "It's a pity you've already retired from the military, otherwise I could still ask you to analyze the movements of the Mist Sea."
Pan Xuan just smiled.
He proactively changed the subject, "Which batch of martyrs has the counting reached?"
Exotic beast assaults on the front lines are common occurrences. Every assault means soldiers will lose their lives, and coupled with the soldiers who sacrificed themselves exploring the Mist Sea, the death toll is enormous.
To maintain the stability of human society and to verify the identities of the sacrificed martyrs, the counting work has become very long.
"The counting work for the batch of martyrs before last is about to end, and it is expected to be officially released in June of this year."
He Shuofeng said, his tone becoming much lower.
Among those who sacrificed themselves, quite a few were his contemporaries.
Those people, along with him and Pan Xuan, had life-and-death friendships, but now he can only see them on the list of martyrs.
"These exotic beasts are truly crazy."
He Shuofeng took another puff of his cigarette and turned to mention Yue Yun, "You stuffed Yue Yun into the Beast Suppression Army, just wanting him to go to the front lines to fight; didn't you think about securing a non-commissioned officer rank for him?"
"Whether he can secure it depends entirely on his ability."
Pan Xuan shook his head.
Yue Yun being noticed by Chen Qingliu and the others has little to do with Pan Xuan. What he gave Yue Yun was the opportunity to enter the sight of these leaders; he didn't expect that kid to have such good luck.
But what is most lacking on the road to success is opportunity.
Pan Xuan's help to Yue Yun can be considered significant.
Pan Xuan added, "It's fine for him to go to the Beast Suppression Army according to regular procedures; there's no need to give him special treatment. After all, the Mist Sea front line is for fighting exotic beasts, not playing house!"
He Shuofeng nodded, fully agreeing with this.
He and Pan Xuan both fought their way up based on their own abilities; even if Chen Qingliu and the others had made up their minds to cultivate Yue Yun, they would still have to see if he had the ability to take on the heavy burden.
He Shuofeng said, "I will make it clear to Elder Chen."
"What do you want to tell me?"
While Pan Xuan and He Shuofeng were talking, Chen Qingliu had already walked outside the Beast Taming Director's office and pushed the door open with a smile.
"Little He, what are you and Little Pan plotting against me?"
Chen Qingliu sat on the sofa happily.
He Shuofeng did not continue, but instead first asked Chen Qingliu for his opinion on Yue Yun, receiving a response full of praise.
"That kid has a decent appearance, and his movements and demeanor are like a soldier's. I think this kid has great cultivation value; he's very capable!"
Chen Qingliu gave his evaluation like an old grandpa.
This evaluation might not be formal, but often such evaluations are the highest and carry the most weight within the leadership team.
He Shuofeng was also somewhat happy upon hearing this.
He could foresee that the Beast Suppression Army would receive powerful fresh blood, capable of supporting the massive force in the unforeseeable future to continue fighting against the exotic beasts.
He Shuofeng then continued the previous topic, "Elder Chen, Little Pan and I have discussed it; Yue Yun's situation is non-replicable, so his cultivation method should also be different from others. He is better suited for unbridled, wild growth, fighting exotic beasts on the Mist Sea front line, rather than being cultivated in a greenhouse, constrained by rules and regulations, walking the path we arranged!"
Chen Qingliu nodded throughout, without any opposition.
It wasn't until He Shuofeng finished speaking that he laughed out loud, "I have seen Yue Yun's situation with my own eyes, and I think that group from Modu University judged incorrectly; he clearly has great potential. As long as he is allowed to master a new power besides the Earth Spirit Cat, who knows how strong his strength will be or how high his achievements can reach? Therefore, I agree with your statement; we must try our best to let him discover his potential on his own, fully display the potential that belongs to him, and transform it into power sufficient to suppress and kill exotic beasts!"
Chen Qingliu's aged eyes were full of hope.
He Shuofeng, having received an affirmative answer, breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously placing high hopes on Yue Yun, who had received such high praise.
He looked at Pan Xuan, "Your student is quite good!"
Pan Xuan nodded, feeling very gratified by this.
Very good; these three little brats didn't pull any tricks, successfully laying a crucial ladder for their own futures.
"Do you want to go see Yue Yun?"
Pan Xuan immediately made a suggestion.
Regardless, for a long time in the future, He Shuofeng will be Yue Yun's immediate superior. It is quite necessary to go see this subordinate in advance and help Yue Yun become familiar.
"No need." He Shuofeng shook his head, "There will be plenty of opportunities to see him in the future; I believe he won't let me down."
Pan Xuan smiled, understanding He Shuofeng's meaning.
