Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

Qin Su didn't want to linger at Tianhe Martial Arts University, so she pulled Ning Qiushui and headed outside.

Four martial arts masters diligently guarded their sides, their powerful aura and menacing presence deterring anyone from approaching even slightly.

On the way back to the Tianhe training camp, Qin Su explained her current situation to Ning Qiushui in detail.

Upon hearing that Qin Su was already a martial arts master, Ning Qiushui covered her red lips in shock, her head spinning slightly.

How long has it been? Qin Su has actually gone from Martial Apprentice to Martial Master. This speed of improvement is simply beyond her comprehension.

"So, are we leaving Tianhe Base City now?"

Ning Qiushui looked at Qin Su and asked.

Qin Su squeezed her hand and whispered, "Mmm."

"Qiu Shui, from now on, I will never let you suffer any more grievances. You no longer need to worry about daily necessities, and you can focus on improving your martial arts."

Ning Qiushui leaned close to him, her nerves, which had been taut all along, finally relaxed a little at this moment.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep leaning on Qin Su's shoulder.

.......

Seed Program headquarters building.

The enormous Xuan Bird fighter jet slowly landed on the tarmac, whipping up sandstorms and bending the grass.

As the hatch of the Xuan Bird fighter jet slowly opened, the soldiers lined up neatly outside immediately began to salute.

Qin Su followed Lü Feng downstairs.

Before your eyes is a towering, massive building complex, with hovercars weaving among the skyscrapers. In the sky, a thin curtain of light shimmers and sparkles under the sunlight.

All of this is full of a futuristic and technological feel.

"This is the most secretive city in the Xia Kingdom. It possesses the most complete industrial base, the most comprehensive scientific research facilities, and all the backups of Xia Kingdom's civilization. Even if Xia Kingdom suffers the calamity of national destruction, as long as this city still exists, there is hope for its resurgence."

"To preserve as much hope as possible amidst the devastating attacks of the Source Beasts—this was the original goal of the Seed Project."

"As for now, after thousands of years of evolution, the Seed Program has gradually evolved into selecting and cultivating true elites. Those who can enter this city, apart from martial artists, are basically the top talents in their respective fields."

"Of course, only those selected for the Seed Program are qualified to enter the real core city area. Most people are actually just in the outer city area."

"Your girlfriend will be living in the outer area from now on. Here, she will have access to better resources and more opportunities than outside. If she can stand out in the triennial selection and assessment, then she can move into the core urban area."

Lu Feng explained things to Qin Su the whole way.

Qin Su listened silently until he finished speaking, then asked, "What is the selection and assessment?"

"The martial artists in the outer city are generally talented, but they haven't yet reached the level to enter the core city. Furthermore, over thousands of years, those past geniuses have gradually left their bloodlines; some are mediocre, while others possess astonishing talent. This selection and assessment is to give these individuals an opportunity..."

Lü Feng answered casually.

"Alright, let's leave your girlfriend aside for now and talk about your situation."

Lu Feng looked at Qin Su, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "I heard from Yan Feng that you've awakened your psychic powers? And it seems you already have some offensive capabilities?"

Qin Su nodded: "Yes."

"Good lad, no wonder I have high hopes for you."

Lü Feng exclaimed in amazement, "Mental power! This is a talent that is hard to come by. Compared to so-called comprehension talent or cultivation talent, mental power is the most precious..."

Qin Su looked at him.

Lu Feng continued, "Let's go. You're new here and have nothing to do, so I'll arrange for you to test the strength of your mental power first, to see if you've reached the standard of a mental master. If not, then I can give you a targeted training plan later."

Qin Su followed him toward the core urban area, and she was actually a little curious about the current level of her mental power.

The core urban area is significantly different from the outer urban area. The outer urban area is still more like a modern metropolis, while the core urban area has become a heavily guarded fortress.

Led by Lü Feng, Qin Su passed through a series of cordon lines and finally arrived at a small, simply decorated test site.

"Xiao Zhao will be here shortly, please have a seat."

Lu Feng glanced at his communicator watch and asked Qin Su with a smile, "By the way, what would you like to drink? I'll have Xiao Zhao bring it over on his way."

Qin Su said, "Anything to drink is fine. But, teacher, who is this 'Little Zhao' you mentioned?"

"Him? He's a third-tier mentalist. He's considered one of the more famous mentalists in Xia Kingdom," Lü Feng said casually.

Third-tier mentalist?

Qin Su narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that there were also different levels of strength among mentalists.

"A third-tier mentalist is actually equivalent to a martial arts master in terms of strength, but the combat power they can unleash can reach the level of a martial marquis. They are extremely troublesome."

As if knowing what Qin Su was thinking, Lü Feng immediately answered Qin Su's question.

A third-tier mentalist can unleash the combat power of a Martial Marquis?

Qin Su was also startled, gaining a certain understanding of the power of mental masters.

Lu Feng smiled and said, "There is a saying that the fastest speed in the world is not the speed of light, but the speed of human thought. In one second, light cannot reach places, but human thought can."

"The power of mental energy is the embodiment of this concept. As long as one's thoughts are focused, one can reach any place within its limits."

"In martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses. With mental power possessing such speed, there is naturally no way to counter it."

"Of course, to truly reach this speed, one still needs continuous training and improvement, but even at their weakest, a mentalist is far stronger than a martial artist of the same level."

Qin Su took a deep breath. It seemed that mental power was indeed more powerful than he had imagined. No wonder Yan Feng and Lü Feng, these powerful figures, were so surprised and delighted when they learned that he had awakened mental power.

"Knock knock knock........"

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the test site.

Qin Su turned her head and saw a dashing young man standing at the gate.

"Xiao Zhao, come in."

Lü Fengchong nodded.

The young man, having been given permission, strode in. He first glanced at Qin Su, raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at Lü Feng and gave a stern military salute.

Lu Feng waved his hand, telling him to order whatever he wanted, before introducing, "Zhao Longshan, a soldier from the Xia Kingdom, a third-tier mentalist, a Martial Marquis-level martial artist, and a member of the Seed Project. He's about twenty-nine years old, isn't he?"

"Reporting to Mr. Lü, I am twenty-eight years old this year."

Zhao Longshan said in a firm and powerful voice.

Qin Su gasped.

Twenty-eight years old, a Martial Marquis level cultivator, and also a third-tier mentalist—my god, what kind of talent is this? To be able to become a member of the Seed Project, he is indeed no ordinary person.
