Chapter 38 Jiang He won the MVP
Suburbs of Zhongzhou City.

Jiang Li was killed, but the traces he left behind did not disappear.

The once vast, green wheat fields have been transformed into a giant pit about a mile in circumference, with groundwater gushing out from the bottom.

Before long, this place will become a new lake.

At the edge of the pit, Zhong Honglian, who arrived late, turned her gaze to Jiang He after listening to Chen Zhenbang's account of the whole story.

"Jiang He, we owe you a lot this time."

"You work part-time at the fire station like Ling Wei?"

"Hmm... In that case, I'll count this as an A-level merit."

A-level merit?!

Chen Zhenbang and the others were dumbfounded.

It should be noted that Chen Zhenbang, as the director of the Public Security Bureau, had not received many A-level merit awards.

Jiang He only helped investigate some clues and found Jiang Li's whereabouts, which could be considered as meritorious in solving the case. In the actual battle, he was dealt with by Chen Zhenbang and others along with that mysterious white-haired man.

When it came time to calculate the credits, they saw that Jiang He had won the MVP award.

Is this the generous treatment S-class geniuses receive?

Chen Zhenbang and his group thought they could sense Zhong Honglian's high regard for Jiang He.

In fact, only Jiang He himself knew the reason why Zhong Honglian did this.

"This is putting credit for the white crane's achievement on me..."

Well, that makes sense.

After all, the white crane is both Jiang He's future self and his summoned creature.

He accepted this honor with a clear conscience.

After Zhong Honglian finished speaking, she looked at Chen Zhenbang.

"Director Chen, the impact of this incident is extremely negative. I'm entrusting the follow-up handling to you."

"Now that Jiang Li is dead, the position of the president of the three universities is vacant. After this matter is over, I will recommend to the council that you take over the position."

The position of principal of an extraordinary school is far more attractive than that of a sheriff.

Chen Zhenbang, who had been harboring doubts, beamed with joy upon hearing this: "You can rest assured about what I do!"

Zhong Honglian is currently serving as the mayor of Zhongzhou City, and has many duties to attend to. After giving a few brief instructions, she turned into flames and flew away.

Chen Zhenbang arranged for several security guards to deal with the pit left by Jiang Li, while he personally escorted Jiang He and the other two back to the fire station. Along the way, he treated Jiang He with extreme kindness, as if he were a rising star in Zhongzhou City.

This is normal, as Jiang He not only possesses S-level talent, but is also highly valued by Zhong Honglian.

Anyone with eyes can see that his future is limitless.

As for the identity of a low-level superhuman...

This is an even bigger plus!

Offering help when it's in the snow is far better than adding flowers to brocade. Must we wait until a genius becomes a strongman before treating them kindly?
By then, who will care about these few smiling faces?

Back at the fire station, the firefighters from the seventh team were not there; they were obviously out rescuing people from fires and water.

Zhang Zhiyong wanted to say something, but as soon as he stepped into the building, Du Lingwei grabbed Jiang He and dragged him directly into the cultivation room.

He could only scratch his head and go about his business.

……

Inside the Fire Spirit Room, Jiang He was somewhat surprised.

After spending so many days at the fire station, his impression of Du Lingwei gradually changed.

The original stereotypes of "genius," "rising star," and "dazzling" have been replaced by "quiet," "composed," and "mature."

She doesn't seem like a vibrant high school sophomore; she's more like a precocious and composed superhuman, understanding what she needs and should do at this stage, and striving towards her goals.

My daily life is disciplined and hardworking; I'm either practicing spiritual cultivation or completing tasks, as routine as a robot.

She is also quite mature in her dealings with people, maintaining a proper distance without making people feel either overly enthusiastic or neglected.

Some might see this as aloofness and indifference, but Jiang He actually felt quite comfortable with it.

He wasn't particularly good at dealing with overly enthusiastic people and preferred to be around those who were a bit more reserved. Therefore, after a few days of training at the fire station, Jiang He quickly adapted from his initial awkwardness around Du Lingwei and began to treat her with normalcy.

Each person cultivates their own path, and all is well.

In fact, compared to the "future wife" that Baihe mentioned, he felt that she was more like a fellow practitioner.

During the two days that Jiang He was frantically grinding for power levels, he didn't need to say much to Du Lingwei.

Nodding, everyone consciously went into the Fire Spirit Room to cultivate. After finishing, they left to do whatever they needed to do.

Jiang He had gotten somewhat used to this.

At this moment, for the first time, I saw emotions such as "conflict" and "confusion" in Du Lingwei's eyes.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

what happened?
This is also Du Lingwei's question.

When Zhong Honglian calculated Jiang He's merits to be A-level earlier, she also noticed the reason—

In both the "School Attack" and "Jiang Li's Rampage" incidents, a white-haired man appeared, and Jiang He was present in both. Both of them possessed the talent of Word Magic, and after each incident, Teacher Zhong paid close attention to Jiang He.

This time, Jiang He was awarded an A-level merit, which was practically a direct statement that "the two have a relationship."

It's hard not to guess this.

In fact, Director Chen and others may have thought of this, but they just didn't say it.

Since they're friendly superhumans and so strong, and they don't want to reveal their identities, why not just cooperate?

If we're too forceful, it will put everyone in an awkward position, and it will look very bad.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Du Lingwei, just like Jiang He's S-level talent, it had no impact on her whatsoever.

But she sensed something unusual about the white-haired man…

To be precise, it wasn't the "white-haired man" but his "flame".

As the owner of the A-level talent [Flame Spirit Guardian], Du Lingwei was very familiar with her own talent.

She could clearly sense that the "flames" released by the white-haired man when he fought against Jiang Li were clearly the Flame Spirit Fire protected by the Flame Spirit!
If that were all, it would be fine.

Talent is not the only thing that matters in this extraordinary era.

Just like the [Word Spirit] that Jiang He possesses, it has appeared in history.

It's not surprising that two extraordinary individuals awakened the Flame Spirit Guardian, an A-level talent.

The issue is……

In Du Lingwei's perception, the Flame Spirit Fire released by the white-haired man had a very strange aura.

It wasn't an unfamiliar aura of the Flame Spirit.

It wasn't the Flame Spirit aura she possessed either.

More like... herself!

Yes, how could a stranger's Flame Spirit have the exact same aura as hers?!

Moreover, how could she possibly become the "Flame Spirit" with the Flame Spirit Guardian talent?
Du Lingwei's mind was in chaos; she couldn't even imagine the reason.

At this moment, she could no longer suppress her confusion and asked.

"Jiang He, who is that white-haired man?"

"When he attacked Principal Jiang just now, he used the fire talent [Flame Spirit Guardian]?"

So that's what you wanted to ask.

Jiang He suddenly realized what was happening, but also felt somewhat embarrassed.

How come anyone can guess the relationship between Baihe and him?

Okay, it's not that hard to guess.

On another note, Baihe actually used the [Flame Spirit Guardian] talent just now?!

Jiang He thought it was the professional flame of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus!
He stared in astonishment at the wall and telepathically communicated with the white crane outside the room: "You possess two talents?!"
