Chapter 1124
The Descent Approaches
He handed the fourth-order super source crystal to You Rui.
After leaving You Rui's office for a distance,
Huang Yuan, the vice president of the Fire Seed Organization, activated his source energy to create a soundproof space before whispering:
"That Zhu Yuxing should definitely not be just at the early stage of the fourth tier of life level."
If it were only the early stage of the fourth tier, there would be absolutely no way that would pose a fatal threat to you or me wearing the Fiery Divine Armor!
I think we should immediately send someone to the area where the Zhu family is living in seclusion to investigate the identity of this Zhu Yuxing, in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!
Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, nodded. "It is only right to investigate thoroughly. Even dozens of divine envoys from the Yunqin Alliance, such as Yi Feifeng, could not have made you and me, who are wearing the Fiery Divine Armor, feel as if we had encountered our natural enemy!"
Huang Yuan, the vice president of the Fire Seed Organization, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that this Zhu Yuxing might be a threat to Xuan Kong, who is currently in seclusion. Before we investigate the situation thoroughly, shouldn't we increase the manpower around the underground weapon-refining room?"
Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then there's no need for that!"
Vice President Huang Yuan was somewhat surprised. "No need? Brother Wang, are you joking? Xuan Kong's weapon-refining skills bring more than just an improvement to the strength of the Fire Seed Organization's experts. They also represent the hope for countless humans on Mars to fight against the Central Star Demon in the future. If anything happens to him, the impact will be too great. We cannot afford any accidents!"
Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, shook his head. "Of course I know this. That's why we arranged for Brother Wu Xiang, Granny Jin, Wang Zuo, and Zhao Jiulin, four fourth-tier super experts, to protect Xuan Kong day and night in the underground weapon-refining room where he was in seclusion. This was to ensure that Xuan Kong's process of fusing fourth-tier source stone crystals in seclusion would not be disturbed or interrupted, so as not to cause damage to his body and consciousness!"
Although those four fourth-tier super strongmen are no match for you and me in a one-on-one fight, if the four of them join forces, even you and I can only manage a draw!
"With such a powerful lineup of protectors, the only way to further improve it is to transfer a small number of fourth-tier super-strong individuals from other important areas of the Fireseed Organization, or for you and I to abandon everything else and keep a close watch on that area day and night!"
“Then we’ll abandon everything else and go directly to guard the underground weapon-refining room where Xuan Kong is in seclusion fusing source stone crystals,” Vice President Huang Yuan said decisively.
Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, sighed softly, "Given the deadly threat we just felt, if Zhu Yuxing really harbors ill intentions towards Xuan Kong, Xiao Yuan, do you think that just the two of us, along with Brother Wu Xiang and the others, can definitely defeat her?"
Even if we can't win, we can at least hold our own!
Besides, maybe that sense of threat is just our imagination!
Vice President Huang Yuan frowned.
Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, stopped and looked at Vice President Huang Yuan, speaking earnestly:
"If the sense of deadly threat we felt earlier was real, then there is only one possibility: this super strong person named Zhu Yuxing is not at the early stage of the fourth-order life level, nor at the top level of the fourth-order life level, but a super life form that has already entered the third-order life level! Otherwise, even if he is at the top level of the fourth-order life level and has extremely powerful combat talent, it would be far from possible for him to make us feel such a deadly threat!"
If that's the case, then Zhu Yuxing really harbors ill intentions towards Xuan Kong, and it's not something that Brother Wu Xiang and the other three could stop. Moreover, Zhu Yuxing has clearly been in Shelter No. 36 for more than a day, and so far there hasn't been any trouble in the underground weapon-refining room. This can only mean that no matter how strong Zhu Yuxing is, at least he has no ill intentions towards Xuan Kong and has no intention of taking action against Xuan Kong!
That sense of deadly threat was just our illusion. If Zhu Yuxing were truly just a super strong expert at the early stage of the fourth tier, then there would be no need for us to go and guard Xuan Kong's side!
When Vice President Huang Yuan heard President Wang Ze say this, she fell silent.
Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, continued, "Captain You Rui, Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super strongman, and the fourth-tier super strongmen who had contact with Zhu Yuxing all seem to have not noticed anything unusual. I have not received any reports of any abnormal situations regarding Zhu Yuxing. This at least confirms one thing: if our intuition is correct, only super strongmen at the top fourth-tier life level can occasionally perceive the strength of Zhu Yuxing!"
Such a powerful individual has come to our Fireseed organization, but his purpose remains unknown.
At this point, Wang Ze, the president of the Fireseed Organization, sighed slightly.
"I thought that we had reached the top level of the fourth-order life level so quickly, which meant we had reached the highest position on Mars. But I didn't expect that Mars was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There may be super life forms that are much stronger than us. It seems that we need to continue to accelerate the evolution of our life level and evolve to the point where we can't advance any further at the fourth-order life level before the great war comes!"
As for Zhu Yuxing, let's send someone to investigate first, and then make a plan!
In a blink of an eye,
It was eight months later.
Inside You Rui's office.
Vice President Huang Yuan placed the suitcase she was carrying on the table, then looked at the group of people in front of her with a smile.
"This was specially purchased by Brother Wu Xiang from the treasures of a gene-powerful family that is most skilled in brewing in the Yundong Kingdom, thousands of kilometers away!"
Although the gene family that is good at brewing rose to prominence relatively late and has few top experts, most of them are rare wood-element gene experts. They are good at manipulating various plant element macromolecules, which allows them to easily remove various impurities produced in the brewing process and add various flavor substances, making the wines they brew unique in flavor and come in many varieties!
This case of wine is the finest of the bunch, called Dreamland. It's said that its flavor can even captivate those with exceptional genetic abilities, giving them a blissful, dream-like experience!
Yu Rui, the captain of Shelter No. 36 who had already broken through to the early stage of the fourth-order life level, Qiu Ru, a super strong person of the fourth-order mid-stage dragon-elephant level, and Zhu Yuxing, who claimed to be the early stage of the fourth order, all gathered around when they saw Vice President Huang Yuan say this.
During this period, Vice President Huang Yuan had already sent someone to the reclusive Zhu family to confirm that the special powerhouse named Zhu Yuxing was indeed a super-strong individual sent by the Zhu family to join the Fire Seed Organization. Therefore, Zhu Yuxing, who possessed only a fourth-tier early-stage life form yet posed a deadly threat to Huang Yuan and President Wang Ze, was indeed confirmed to be the right person! As for his true strength and purpose, at least in the past three months, this special gene super-strong individual named Zhu Yuxing had not engaged in any clandestine activities. He had neither attacked Lin Xuankong's secluded weapon-refining room nor done anything else to threaten the Fire Seed Organization!
While they couldn't be certain whether the other party's life level had reached the third-tier life level, they were certain that the other party at least had no malicious intent and had even done some things for You Rui, the captain of Shelter No. 36. They had a very good relationship with You Rui. Faced with such a special super strong person, Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, and Huang Yuan, the vice president, could only choose to accept the other party, at least to build a good relationship with this super strong person who had hidden his true strength and whose purpose was unclear.
In recent months, Vice President Huang Yuan has taken various opportunities to bring You Ruiqiuru and Zhu Yuxing a lot of top-quality food and wine from various countries. As a result, he discovered that this special super strong person named Zhu Yuxing had little interest in food but was quite interested in wine.
Therefore, Vice President Huang Yuan went to great lengths to send people from the distant Kingdom of Yundong to obtain some truly exquisite wines that only those with exceptional genetic abilities could refine. This wine, called Dreamland, was one of them!
"Haha, you two lost to me in the gambling last time, so this time all the fine wine that the vice president brought should be mine! Captain, Yu Xing, you two won't go back on your word, will you!"
Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super expert, was in high spirits. She opened one of the bottles of wine, smelled the aroma of the fine wine, and laughed heartily.
When Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super powerhouse, was first transferred to You Rui's side, she was slightly reserved. After all, although You Rui was only a top-tier fifth-tier life level gene powerhouse, far inferior to Qiu Ru in terms of life level, she was the wife of Lin Xuankong, who now held a transcendent position in the Fire Seed Organization! Such a status made You Rui's position in the entire Fire Seed Organization almost comparable to that of the General Manager Wang Ze and the Vice President Huang Yuan. How could someone like Qiu Ru, who had once joined the opposing Cloud Hidden Alliance and later defected to the organization, be offended so easily!
However, after spending some time together, they discovered that the high-ranking Captain You Rui was actually quite kind-hearted, and they gradually became very close! Even after You Rui broke through to a higher level of life after more than a month of seclusion, it did not affect their close relationship!
Of course, Qiu Ru's quick acceptance by You Rui and her becoming one of the core members of Shelter No. 36 was also due to the fact that this mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super-strong individual was very loyal and righteous. She had been willing to sacrifice her future for her family and friends, and even when her life was truly threatened and she was captured by the super-strong Zhao Jiulin, she never changed her stance and resolutely refused to bow down. Such people are rare! Captain You Rui's close relationship with her and her quick trust in Qiu Ru also stemmed from this.
"You still remember I'm the captain! How can you, a subordinate, have no respect for your superiors at all? Do you even want to advance your career?!"
Captain You Rui smiled and slapped away the large hand that Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super strongman, had placed on the wine box.
"Exactly, Qiu Ru, are you planning to enjoy this wine all by yourself? Don't you know that true wine connoisseurs and connoisseurs understand that sharing is worse than enjoying alone, and they wish they had more close friends who appreciate fine wine to enjoy with them! Your plan to enjoy this wine all by yourself is a waste. This case of wine is not for you to drink; it can only be drunk by me, the captain, and the vice president!"
A fair-skinned woman named Zhu Yuxing, dressed in a blue robe, jokingly teased from the side. Her eyes, however, were fixed on the opened bottle of fine wine, and she was gently sniffing it, looking quite engrossed.
"No, no, when you two made the bet with me before, you said that if you found any more fine wine next time, you would let me drink more!"
How could you do this? You went back on your word? The finest wine was just placed before us, and you immediately broke your promise? Isn't that a bit shameless?
Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier dragon-elephant super powerhouse, expressed great dissatisfaction.
These women, who are considered top-tier fighters and true high-ranking members of the Fireseed Organization, were now playfully bickering in the office, showing none of their usual 'majestic' demeanor in public!
After a few laughs and jokes, the group got some snacks to accompany their drinks and started drinking together. The entire office was soon filled with the aroma of the wine. This fine wine, brewed by a true master of wood-elemental genes using special elemental abilities, indeed had a unique flavor, its richness far surpassing that of wines made by ordinary people. Such wine was simply impossible to buy outside; it could only be found occasionally at top-tier auction houses, and its value far exceeded that of ordinary auction items.
The group chatted and drank for a while.
Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon Elephant super powerhouse, looked at Captain You Rui and said, "Sister You Rui, you spent three or four months to successfully fuse with the fourth-tier super source stone crystal, and now you have basically completed the evolution of your early-stage fourth-tier body. You should have almost finished fusing with it by now, since Brother-in-law Xuan Kong has been in seclusion for eight or nine months, right?"
Captain You Rui was naturally aware of Lin Xuankong's special abilities. After all, she had witnessed him evolve from an ordinary person to his current life level at an astonishing speed. Furthermore, Captain You Rui was also aware of Lin Xuankong's special talent for influencing those close to him. Otherwise, she was absolutely certain that someone like herself, with a gene compatibility of less than ninety percent and not considered a super genius, could never have successfully fused with a fourth-tier super source crystal at such a rapid pace and become a fourth-tier early-stage super powerhouse.
However, this kind of thing is a secret, and Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, Han Bao, Zhu Ling, and You Rui have never told anyone about it. Even though the people in this office are all her close friends, and the vice president Huang Yuan is Lin Xuankong's teacher, You Rui would never casually reveal this.
With a slight shift in her gaze, You Rui smiled and said, "Perhaps Xuan Kong has already successfully fused with it and is currently consolidating his life level in the underground cultivation room! Xuan Kong always likes to give everyone a surprise. Wasn't the previous invisibility source artifact armor, the Tai Su Jade, and the Fiery Divine Armor all like that?"
Qiu Ru, a mid-stage fourth-tier Dragon-Elephant super powerhouse, nodded. "With Brother-in-law Xuan Kong's genius, he should have already successfully fused and is currently stabilizing it! However, according to the information I've received, the gate to the underworld in Jianzhou Province of the Yunqin Alliance has been fluctuating more and more intensely recently. Perhaps, the time when those demons from Zhongji Star will descend upon Yinghuoxing is very close!" (End of this chapter)
