24: Chapter 24 A Triumphant Return!

Bai Ye glanced at the time; it was nearing dusk, and night was about to fall.

"Hurry back to the camp."

"Tonight, for the first time in a long while, I can finally go home and get some good rest!"

"Pull yourself together and prepare for tomorrow's assessment."

I heard this test is different from previous ones, though I don't know what changes have been made.

Bai Ye returned to the vicinity of the camp at top speed.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from the camp, the guards on duty spotted him at a glance.

They then quickly hurried back into the camp.

This left Bai Ye feeling a bit puzzled.

"Why are these people running?"

"Do I not look like a good person?"

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Before he could even enter the camp, Defense Officer Gao Shuang had already walked out with several others!

"You brat, you finally decided to come back!"

Defense Officer Gao Shuang looked at Bai Ye and said, "If you didn't come back any sooner, I would have gone inside to look for you myself!"

Defense Officer Gao Shuang appeared somewhat excited and pleasantly surprised. Clearly, he had been looking forward to seeing Bai Ye for a long time.

"Hurry up, there are many people inside waiting for you."

Bai Ye felt even more confused. He didn't know anyone here; why would people be waiting for him?

He followed Defense Officer Gao Shuang inside. The atmosphere within was truly worlds apart from the outside. Outside, there were crises everywhere at any moment, but inside, it felt exceptionally safe and secure.

However, everyone was staring at him! A large number of guards in the square surrounded him in a circle, watching him.

"Wait, am I a monkey at a zoo?"

Bai Ye thought to himself!

Those people spoke up one after another.

"Bai Ye, you've finally arrived!"

"We've been waiting for you for too long! We need to celebrate for you properly."

"Exactly! We've finally seen what a true Genius looks like."

Everyone was exceptionally excited and pleasantly surprised.

At this moment, Bai Ye finally understood why they were so happy.

It turned out it was because he had used his actions to show them that even if one's talent is average, as long as one puts in the effort, their future strength will definitely be even greater.

Furthermore, it proved that he was not some useless person here just to gild his resume!

Seeing Bai Ye's hesitant expression, Defense Officer Gao Shuang spoke directly.

"You don't need to worry about tomorrow's assessment!"

"Just rest well here today; no need to run around anymore. I will personally take you there tomorrow!"

This kind of treatment was exactly what Bai Ye wanted. He was instantly delighted. At the same time, Wang Yang's actions were something he had not expected at all.

"Has Teacher Wang been here?" Bai Ye asked!

"He came once over ten days ago. Your performance gave him quite a surprise!"

Defense Officer Gao Shuang said, "Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let me take you to exchange your points first!"

"You have a lot of points; you can exchange them for quite a lot of things!"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a discount to let you exchange for some better items."

"I hope you can get a good score tomorrow!"

Bai Ye thanked Defense Officer Gao Shuang and went with him to the exchange counter!

At this moment, those casual beast hunters saw how familiar Bai Ye and Defense Officer Gao Shuang were with each other, and their jaws nearly dropped in shock.

"Who is this guy to get such awesome treatment!"

"Having Defense Officer Gao Shuang personally receive him is simply unprecedented!"

"I've been here many times, and I've never seen him this happy."

"Looking at this, this kid might have a big background!"

"Doesn't Defense Officer Gao Shuang hate people with connections like this?"

"That's where you don't understand. He hates ordinary people with connections, but he certainly wouldn't hate someone with top-tier connections!"

As everyone spoke, it drew a mocking laugh from a guard nearby.

"Connections? Look at how ignorant you all are!"

"He is a true Genius!"

"He was able to kill a Stage One Middle Stage beast with a single slash before even officially undergoing the assessment!"

"If you had that ability, of course you'd get great treatment too!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.

"No way, is it that exaggerated?"

"Doesn't that make him invincible inside?"

"He looks under 20 years old. To be able to do something like that at such a young age, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

Many people found it hard to believe! The battle record the guard mentioned was a bit too outrageous!

Just then, a few people spoke up.

"This is true; we've all seen it!"

It turned out that they had also met Bai Ye once before. At that time, Bai Ye was fighting a beast, and they had watched from the side, trembling with fear. They could be considered witnesses to Bai Ye's growth.

To this day, they were still deeply impressed by Bai Ye's strength!

And the point that they found even more unbelievable was...

In this past month, they had traveled back and forth here four or five times, each time having to return to the city to resupply equipment and materials, and also to take a break.

But Bai Ye was Heaven-Defying; he had actually stayed inside alone for a full month without coming out!

One of them couldn't help but say in shock.

"I saw it with my own eyes; he was able to handle six beasts alone, and they were all Stage One!"

"That skill is really not something an ordinary person can compare to!"

"And his current rate of progress must be extremely fast!"

"That's right, I guess he should already be able to meet the Second Stage standard now."

"Truly, heroes come from the youth!"

Listening to these people, the others around who were still doubting suddenly went quiet.

These three were quite experienced individuals. Everyone was a familiar face. There was no need to talk nonsense and brag for a stranger!

The only possibility was that Bai Ye's battle record was true!

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"Good heavens, back when I was his age, I couldn't even reach 150 Ability Power Level!"

"Me too; I remember back then I was just thinking about playing games!"

"People nowadays are truly Heaven-Defying!"

"No wonder Defense Officer Gao Shuang thinks so highly of him; he is definitely a star of the future!"

"Alright, alright, let's all disperse! There's simply no comparing to a Genius like that."

As everyone said this, they all dispersed one after another.

Inside the camp at this moment!

Defense Officer Gao Shuang brought Bai Ye to the display screen, where Bai Ye's battle record was already prepared!

Name: Bai Ye!

Battle Record: 56 Low-Tier beasts, 20 Stage One Low-Level beasts, 45 Stage One Middle Stage beasts, 60 Stage One Advanced beasts, 23 Second Stage Low-Level beasts!

Looking at this exaggerated quantity in front of him, Defense Officer Gao Shuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart once again.

"Even if it were me at his age, I would completely be unable to do something so exaggerated."

"He truly is a Genius!"

"And this Genius is so hardworking; his future potential is absolutely limitless!"

Defense Officer Gao Shuang continued, "By the way, when Guan Shu left, she left all of her points for you."

"So, your total points now are 59,870!"
