957 Green Leaf (1/2)
Fang Yuan's original plan was to enter the Wasteland on his own to level up.
However, since Beatrice made the offer with hidden intentions, Fang Yuan did not mind playing along.
They thought that once they brought him to a place without civilization, he would be nothing more than a harmless chicken. However, they did not know that it was the other way around. At school, Fang Yuan was constantly holding back and could not use his full power!
”That's great!” Beatrice exclaimed happily. Then she laughed bitterly. ”Wu Sanhuai has some matters that he wants to handle, so he decided to join our Green Leaf Squad. It's beneficial to both parties.
”We've already agreed to assemble at the school's main gate at 6 am tomorrow!”
”No problem!”
…
After setting the time and date, Beatrice turned off her communication device. After a moment, she pulled out an encrypted communication device. ”Commander!”
”Beatrice, you've performed well over the past few days. The low-tier brain development drugs you've delivered have been very beneficial for developing our organization!”
The commander was a man dressed in black robes. The darkness hid his face, and only his sharp, eagle-like eyes glowed brightly.
”Everything is for the organization!” Beatrice bowed politely. ”And… didn't you order me to recruit Lin Meng? I've created an opportunity now. He wants to go out and obtain some actual combat experience, so I got him to go with the Green Leaf Squad.”
”Wonderful. Proceed with your plan!”
The commander nodded slowly. ”Even though our main objective is Wu Sanhuai, or rather the Wu Wudi behind him, taking care of a first-year isn't a big deal. I've arrived on Planet East Dragon. When the time comes, let's meet in the Wasteland!”
From his perspective, gathering his resources to deal with Wu Wudi was his top priority.
As for Lin Meng? He was nothing more than a rabbit in the bushes. There was no need to be wary of him.
”Commander, what is it this time? Why are we mobilizing the entire top brass?” Beatrice asked worriedly. ”Your subordinate wishes to understand the plan to coordinate better!”
”Since you're heading out tomorrow, it's probably time to tell you!” The black-robed man paused. ”Wu Sanhuai was dispatched this time under Wu Wudi's orders. In fact, our sources have reported that most of the Wu family has been deployed to the Wasteland. They're searching for a star beast king!”
”Star beast king?!” Beatrice took a deep breath. ”This is a star beast that's as powerful as a high-level cultivator! And it has intelligence equal to us! Is Wu Wudi searching for it to find some secret that will allow him to break through his bottleneck?”
The current level fourteen to fifteen was equivalent to cracking the core to achieve the Nascent Soul in ancient cultivation. It was of extreme importance.
After he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, that would place him at the top of the cultivator pyramid.
Of course, it was not easy either. This was what held Wu Wudi back for nearly an entire year.
”But given Wu Wudi's current level, he'll be struggling against the star beast king, right?” Beatrice asked uncertainty.
”That man is a true genius. We can't use regular logic to define him!” The black-robed commander's voice carried a distinct hint of fear. ”Furthermore, the star beast king has a secret that attracted Wu Wudi to go after it, so we have to verify it with Wu Sanhuai! This is the main reason we have to capture him.”
”Understood!”
Beatrice bowed as she turned off the communicator. Her bright face revealed a smirk. ”These old foxes must have figured something out. Otherwise, why would they show themselves now?!”
Her organization had always been growing steadily in the dark. If the members became exposed, it would immediately take measures to isolate and destroy them.
However, the top brass was making their appearance this time. She could guess the importance of this mission!
”The mission this time will be perilous!”
Even if Beatrice knew something was happening in the organization, she did not have the power to change anything. She could only sigh deeply.
…
”Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)
Profession: Dream Master, East Dragon University Student
Cultivation: Mystic (Level 5), Arcanist (Level 1)
Techniques: Flame Control Technique, Breath Holding Technique (Modified)
Skills: Alchemy (Advanced)
Power Recovered: 10.73%!”
…
On another side, Fang Yuan stared at his stats window and sighed heavily.
”I still can't increase my Arcanist level. Since I'm studying at East Dragon University, how can it provide any research materials on the West's Arcane?
”However, I'm heading to the Wasteland tomorrow, and I still have to prepare some measures for my cover. It's time to learn some spiritual techniques!”
Because he was embarrassingly short on money and focused on accumulating credits, he did not pay too much attention to cultivating his spiritual techniques.
However, since he decided to head out, he wanted to spend all his credits before leaving, intending to convert them into combat power.
”For spiritual techniques, it's best if they have an inheritance system that reaches all the way to the end. My magic artifact is a flying needle, so let's start with flying sword techniques!”
Fang Yuan browsed through the spiritual techniques exchange and selected an option without hesitation.
