Hidden Secrets! The Holy Cult? The Cult of Extraordinary People!

Su Lin understood!

I knew my parents and grandpa were awesome, but I didn't know they were this awesome!

So it turns out I'm the strongest second-generation military officer after all this time!

"Ah Lin, don't blame your Uncle Lin for not telling you these things before."

"Uncle Lin also has his reasons."

Lin Xiong walked over and patted Su Lin on the shoulder.

"Back then, your grandfather fought against a demon god in the Abyss War, but was killed in an accident, and his fate is unknown."

"Twenty years later, your father and mother also disappeared overnight."

"Although the investigation concluded that they all died on the battlefield and their families were loyal martyrs, there are too many secrets about people of their rank that cannot be known."

"Nobody knows the specifics."

"Uncle Lin, do you mean there's still a chance my parents and grandfather are alive?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lin suddenly looked up.

Although he had never met his parents and grandfather, how could he not admire these three legendary heroes?

"have no idea."

Lin Xiong shook his head.

"Are you unaware, or do you simply choose not to tell me?"

Su Lin asked suspiciously.

Lin Xiong's face stiffened, and he sighed, "I neither know nor want to say."

Before Su Lin could speak, he quickly added:

"Alright, stop asking. I'll tell you when it's your turn."

"In short, remember this: no matter what the situation is like above, no matter how the three of them are defined above, it won't affect your ability to use their names to your advantage."

"After all, they are heroes and martyrs, which is an indisputable fact. Even if other voices have emerged in recent years, it is not enough to make you, an orphan, unacceptable."

Lin Xiong glanced at Su Lin and spoke earnestly:

"I didn't tell you these things before because I wanted to see how talented you really were. If you awaken an ordinary profession, this empty title will only become a burden to you."

"Now that you possess such extraordinary abilities, this identity can actually become a great asset, helping you avoid a lot of trouble."

Lin Xiong paused at this point.

"Of course, you should also remember that while the names of your parents and grandfather are useful, they are not omnipotent."

"After all, they've been gone for many years, and their deterrent power is far less than before!"

"Leaving aside other places, even the Demon Suppression Army has undergone countless purges and replacements during the ten years since they disappeared. People's hearts have long changed. I'm afraid only a few old people still remember the good deeds of your Su family."

"I understand."

Su Lin nodded.

A new emperor brings a new court.

Those subordinates who were originally loyal to their parents are probably the ones who are doing the worst now.

But it doesn't matter.

I never intended to rely on anyone else.

With the Infinite Evolution System, as long as I don't attract the attention of others, I have enough time to grow stronger in peace!

Now it seems...

One's own background can effectively resolve this problem.

This result is already perfect!

However, Su Lin still has some problems:

"Uncle Lin, about my parents..."

"Don't ask. I've told you everything I can. As for the rest, your level is too low and your strength is too weak right now, so it's no use telling you."

Lin Xiong interrupted his question directly.

"All right."

Su Lin nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.

As Lin Xiong said, once you are strong enough, you will naturally be able to learn more secrets.

I'm not qualified yet.

"About Qingli..."

Su Lin asked again.

"What's wrong? You've only been gone three days and you're already missing me terribly? You little rascal, you really want to steal my cabbage, huh?"

Lin Xiong laughed and scolded.

"hey-hey."

Su Lin scratched his head and smiled: "I was just worried."

"You don't need to worry about her, she's off enjoying herself."

Lin Xiong seemed to be in a good mood when he talked about this.

"Enjoying life?" Su Lin asked curiously.

Lin Xiong didn't keep them in suspense and showed off:

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. My brother Su and sister-in-law are awesome, and the Lin family's genes aren't bad either. They actually managed to awaken an SSS-level profession in that girl. That's top-tier!"

"No sooner had the girl awakened than the news reached the capital. The Demon Suppression Army sent an elder overnight to take her away as their disciple."

"A senior figure? To become an apprentice?"

Su Lin suddenly realized, but was somewhat disappointed: "So, it seems I won't be able to see Qing Li for a while?"

"No, that's not it."

Lin Xiong shook his head: "Becoming an apprentice is one thing, and taking the college entrance exam is another. The necessary procedures still need to be followed. Qingli is just going there to familiarize herself with the place. She will come back in a few days to take the college entrance exam."

"I see." Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"By the way, Uncle Lin, who is that senior? Is he very powerful?"

"Of course it's amazing!"

Lin Xiong smiled smugly: "This is a top expert from your grandmother's generation, an eighth-level sword saint, a ruthless character who wielded the Sun-Breaking Sword and fought his way from the Southern Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace!"

"Most importantly, her relationship with Grandpa Su is very good, uh... like siblings, so he definitely won't mistreat Xiao Li."

"Once you join the Demon Suppression Army later, out of respect for the old man, perhaps we can give you some benefits!"

"Oh?"

Now that you mention it, Su Lin is actually quite curious.

The terms "Sacred Realm" and "Emperor Realm" are names specifically created by professionals for their own convenience and to show respect.

The first job change, or initial job change, corresponds to the apprentice level, which, to put it bluntly, is nothing.

The second job advancement is the official level. A swordsman is called a "second job swordsman" and a mage is called a "mage". It's not that complicated.

The real division begins at level 60 of the third stage, which is the Master Realm. Next are the Grandmaster Realm, the King Realm, the Emperor Realm, the Saint Realm, and the God Realm!

As for those above the ninth level...

Since the advent of the game, there has never been such an awesome existence in all of human records!

It is evident that an Eighth-Rank Sword Saint is an incredibly powerful and terrifying existence, with a level of at least 211!

Not to mention, to become a veteran of the Demon Suppression Army, having fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his talent is beyond question; he is at least an S-rank or higher professional.

Such a powerful individual is indeed qualified to teach Lin Qingli, an unparalleled genius of the SSS rank.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. You must be tired after being away for three days. Go back and rest. I still need to investigate the issue of dungeon abyssification."

After showing off for a while, Lin Xiong was satisfied and waved his hand, signaling Su Lin to go back to his room.

"Wait, Uncle Lin, I have a few more questions."

Su Lin, however, remained seated firmly.

Since there are still more than ten minutes until the Xuanjia Shield Turtle finishes its evolution, I might as well take this opportunity to ask all the questions I need to ask.

After all, these are secrets that ordinary people would beg for!

Its value is immeasurable!

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Lin Xiong asked curiously.

Su Lin cut to the chase: "From what you're saying, the instance we entered has undergone abyssification. Is someone sabotaging this?"

"You've got a pretty quick mind, kid."

Lin Xiong was somewhat surprised, stroked his chin, and said carefully:

"In principle, you are just a student now and are not qualified to know this level of secrets."

"But as you know, I, Lin Xiong, have never been one to follow principles, so telling you won't hurt."

"..."

Su Lin remained silent.

"Haha, just kidding."

Lin Xiong chuckled a few times, then his smile faded: "You studied the Demon Clan in school, right? Have you ever heard of the Extraordinary People Cult?"

"The Cult of Extraordinary People?"

Su Lin's expression turned serious: "Could it be a cult?"

"good."

Lin Xiong nodded: "Since the great changes in the world, the demon race has brought countless casualties and suffering to mankind, but mankind is not an impenetrable wall."

"The knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law. Let alone the possibility that everyone now has the power to overturn rivers and seas, even if we were ordinary people in the past, there were always some people with bad intentions who wanted to change the world."

"Not only in our Dragon Kingdom, but there are even more and more religious sects outside, making it even more chaotic."

"The Cult of the Strange People is a cult that has been quite active globally in recent years. They call themselves the Holy Cult, and according to investigations, this force is extremely secretive; it's unknown how long they've been lying low!"

Hearing this, Su Lin already had some guesses in his mind.

He didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Lin Xiong continued:

"Since they are a cult, what they want to do is obvious: to bewitch people and incite those with weak wills to cause trouble for the authorities."

"Generally speaking, they can't cause much trouble. After all, the authorities have too many talented people and control absolute power. They always deal with these fanciful ideas with swift and decisive strikes, and the results are usually very good. Each cleanup brings a period of peace."

"But this cult of the supernatural is different. They are a group of truly deranged lunatics who, in order to gain power, are willing to cooperate with the demon race, transforming themselves into disgusting beings that are half-demon and half-human!"

Su Lin was taken aback:

"Holy crap! A ladyboy?"
