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

The competition for the Youth Spiritual Master group consisted of three events, and Qin Su won first place in two of them. The championship of the Youth Spiritual Master group was no longer in doubt.

Qin Su was also lazy; having already won the championship, she only participated casually in the third event.

The third test is the ability to solve cases, finding clues in specific environments and within a specific scope. This is something that Qin Su, who possesses the divine skill of telekinesis, can easily handle.

There were ten unusual details to find, and while others had only found one, Qin Su cleared the level directly using his telekinetic detection.

They won first place in the individual event again.

"First place in all three rounds of competition, that's ruthless, absolutely ruthless..."

"It's been at least a hundred years since a prodigy like him has achieved such results, hasn't it? This trip was totally worth it; I witnessed history, it's truly..."

"Didn't they say he just joined the Tianhe Police Station? How come his crime-solving abilities are better than the veteran officers? Are they trying to kill us?"

Everyone was talking about it and exclaiming in surprise.

Ye Chen and Feng Hao were completely convinced, and Ruan Ning's expression towards Qin Su also changed.

As for Yin Wuji, he was too ashamed to mention taking on disciples anymore. He was afraid that in the end, it wouldn't be him teaching Qin Su, but Qin Su teaching him.

Jiang Feichen grinned from ear to ear as he looked at the twenty points that had been deposited into the Tianhe Police Station's account. He found Qin Su and said sincerely, "Young friend Qin, don't worry. I will do everything I can to get you the fourth-tier armor I promised you, even if it means selling everything I own. In addition, you will also receive all the other benefits and rewards."

He then handed Qin Su a bank card: "There are ten million source crystals in here. Take it and spend it. If you need more, just let me know. From now on, Tianhe Police Station will be your home. Whenever you want to come back, just say the word, and I guarantee you the highest level of hospitality..."

The national police skills competition concluded after three days.

The final rankings of the police stations in the nine major base cities across the country have been released. Kyoto base city once again ranked first, and the top three positions remained unchanged from previous years.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Tianhe Police Station, which had always been at the bottom, actually jumped to fourth place this time.

This undoubtedly shocked people in other police departments.

It's worth noting that the Tianhe Police Station only participated in three rounds of competition and was short of points for one round. It's unbelievable that they managed to make it into the top four.

Some people who were unaware of the situation suddenly realized after careful investigation that the Tianhe Police Station had scored more than 20 points in the Youth Mental Health Group, which explained its high overall ranking this time.

Not only did Qin Su get 20 points, but Ruan Ning, although only a first-level mentalist, performed poorly in the first round, but her performance in the following two rounds was quite remarkable.

So in the end, she also made it into the top five in the overall rankings, and got more than five points.

In addition, the martial arts group members were all very strong this time and scored high points, so it's not surprising that Tianhe Police Station was able to jump to fourth place.

On the day the grand competition ended, Jiang Feichen solemnly presented Qin Su with a set of Tier 4 armor and some other items.

Qin Su was too lazy to look at anything else, but a complete set of Tier 4 armor really caught his eye.

A Martial King-level expert would treasure even an arm guard as a trump card, but now that he has a complete set, his strength has increased dramatically.

He stroked the cold, hard metal shell of the armor with great affection, and thinking that now that this matter was over, it was time to return to the restricted area for further training. Qin Su then decided to take his leave.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feichen stopped him: "Young friend Qin, the Chief of Staff still wants to see you, what do you say?"

Qin Su waved his hand and said, "There's no need to mention the matter of becoming an apprentice again. I won't consider it. If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead..."

"Young friend Qin, don't be in a hurry."

Before Qin Su could finish speaking, Yin Wuji's voice rang out, "If I said I only wanted to befriend you and didn't intend to take you on as a disciple, would you still refuse me?"

Qin Su turned around and saw Yin Wuji walking over with a beaming smile.

"With your strength and talent, young friend Qin, and the information I've gathered these past two days, I know I'm not qualified to be your teacher. After all, the strength of the police force is far inferior to that of your circle."

"But just being friends with you shouldn't be a problem, right? Young friend Qin, are you willing to give me this opportunity?"

Qin Su smiled slightly and said, "General Yin is too modest. It is a great honor for a junior like me to befriend such an important person as you."

Yin Wuji laughed and said, "What honor or not? I don't have that many distinctions of rank and status here. The future belongs to you young people. I'm just an old codger who's just waiting to die. Young friend Qin, I should be the happiest that you're willing to befriend me."

"Also, since we're friends now, I'll give you some things as a gift! You can't refuse!"

............

.......

On the way back to Tianhe Base City, Qin Su examined the things Yin Wuji had given him.

Upon opening the spatial ring, I found it contained quite a lot of items.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected to have acquired a Tier 4 Gale Blade, triggering the talent "One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward," currently increasing its quality a hundredfold.]

【Ding! 】

The Tier 4 Gale Blade has been successfully upgraded to Tier 5. This blade possesses an extremely terrifying tearing effect with a single strike, and if it inflicts substantial damage, it generates an additional 10% damage. With the collection of specific materials, there is still room for further upgrades.

The fifth-tier Gale Blade is supposed to be a weapon used by a Martial Marquis-level warrior, but Qin Su, who is currently a Martial General-level warrior, still finds it somewhat difficult to wield.

Qin Su took it out and tried swinging it. The knife was quite heavy, weighing 100,000 kilograms on its own. If Qin Su's strength hadn't already exceeded 300,000 kilograms, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift it.

However, Qin Su could also clearly feel that after changing his sword, he was able to unleash even more terrifying combat power.

With this sword, Qin Su's Tier 3 Thunder Battle Blade, which had been with him all along, can be considered to have completely retired and come to an end.

Qin Su immediately listed the Thunder Battle Blade on a trading website, and within ten minutes someone contacted him and bought the Thunder Battle Blade for one million source crystals.

Besides the battle sword, Yin Wuji also gave Qin Su a damaged psychic weapon. Qin Su tried to activate it with his mental power, but it was quite difficult. After only a dozen seconds of casual use, he felt that more than half of his mental power was depleted.

This undoubtedly surprised him greatly.

With the support of automatic cultivation and the talent of 100x settlement, his mental power has now reached 120,000 kilograms, making him a third-level mental master.

It's surprising how difficult it is to wield this telekinetic weapon.

He then withdrew his mental energy and tried to weigh the thing in his hand. To his astonishment, he discovered that it weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.

The fine gold dagger he was now wielding with great ease was practically a little brother compared to this telekinetic weapon.

【Ding! 】

[The host has been detected to have acquired a damaged Tier 6 Lightning Spike. Would you like to spend all your Reversal Points to repair it?]

"It's actually a sixth-tier telekinetic weapon!"

Qin Su was taken aback, but then did not hesitate to choose to carry out the repairs.

He had 290002 remaining points, just enough to cover the cost of fully repairing this sixth-tier psychic weapon.

With all the counterattack points depleted, the sixth-tier psychic weapon—Lightning Spike—was successfully repaired.

After being repaired, the Lightning Spike emitted a silvery-white light, with lightning constantly swirling around it. Qin Su tried to control it with his mental power.

Whoosh-!

In an instant, the lightning spike shot out, so fast that even Qin Su didn't have time to react!

"Such speed! At least ten times faster than the adamantite dagger! And its attack power is also ten times stronger!"

In other words, when controlling the Lightning Spike, Qin Su's attack speed can theoretically reach more than 100,000 strikes per second! Moreover, the force of each strike, based on his current strength of more than 100,000 kilograms, can reach the level of one million kilograms!

One strike, a force of a million kilograms.

And in one second, an attack of a million kilograms can be repeated 100,000 times.

Qin Su felt her breathing becoming difficult.

There's no way around it, this sixth-tier lightning spike is just too abnormal, too terrifying!

"The only downside is that this thing consumes too much mental energy. I only managed to thrust it out once, and it already used up one-tenth of my mental energy!"

"However, the destructive power of this sixth-tier lightning stab is indeed terrifying. If used unexpectedly, even a Martial Marquis-level expert would die on the spot..."

【Ding! 】

While Qin Su was in shock, the system's voice also sounded in her mind.

[Host detected to have acquired Tier 6 Lightning Spike, Talent - One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward, effect triggered. Please select either a one hundredfold increase in quality or a one hundredfold increase in quantity.]

[Countdown: 10.........9...........8...........7..........(Note: When the countdown ends, the system will automatically increase the number of choices by one hundredfold. Please make your choice as soon as possible.)]

Qin Su did not hesitate and directly chose to increase the quantity by a hundredfold.

After all, he was already struggling to use a sixth-tier psychic weapon. If it were upgraded to the seventh tier, he would be completely helpless and unable to use it.

【Ding! 】

[One hundred Tier 6 psychic weapons—Lightning Spikes—have been successfully delivered to your personal inventory. Please check your inventory.]

Qin Su checked and found that there were indeed a hundred identical Lightning Spikes lying in his personal inventory.

He exited his personal storage and took a deep breath.

A sixth-tier psychic weapon is incredibly valuable, even if it's just one. It's something Qin Su couldn't afford even if he sold everything he owned, but the system gave him a hundred of them!

This is truly the emperor's father, and the eldest father at that.

Next, Qin Su tried to control the sixth-tier Lightning Spike and found that even if he went all out, he could only control three at the same time.

Moreover, mental energy is consumed very quickly, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.

If Qin Su hadn't stopped in time, she felt she would have been completely drained and injured.

"Three are still not enough. Although they look intimidating, they are completely ineffective in combat. It seems that if I want to maintain my combat ability, controlling two sixth-tier lightning spikes at the same time is the most suitable option."

Controlling two lightning spikes simultaneously naturally doubles one's combat power compared to controlling only one.

I wonder if Yin Wuji will question his life when he sees Qin Su controlling a large number of sixth-order lightning spikes when they meet again.

After all, he only gave Qin Su one, and it was a badly damaged one at that.

Besides the Gale Blade and Lightning Thorn, the other things Yin Wuji gave Qin Su were resources to enhance his strength. Qin Su didn't touch these resources, intending to take them back to his girlfriend Ning Qiushui.

His strength is improving every day, so he doesn't really need these resources. But his girlfriend Ning Qiushui is different. She's not like him, who has an unfair advantage. It's still difficult for her to improve her strength, and she's very dependent on resources.

Fortunately, these resources should be enough for his girlfriend Ning Qiushui to use for a while.

After returning to Tianhe Base City, Qin Su rested at the Tianhe Training Camp for a while. He also went back to Xinghan City to give his girlfriend the resources and spend two more days with her. When he was about to leave, he planned to see his teacher, Lü Feng, but he didn't see him.

Jinsha informed her that Lü Feng had gone abroad and wouldn't return for six months. During that time, she would be unable to contact him.

Jinsha then instructed Qin Su to continue cultivating according to the training plan set by Lü Feng. If Lü Feng felt it necessary, he would naturally summon him when he returned six months later.

"Also, if there's anything urgent, just call me. I'll take care of it for you. If I can't, someone else will. Xinghan City may not have much else, but it's full of powerful people. So, you don't need to worry about anything, just focus on your cultivation."

Jinsha said in a very domineering manner.

"Okay, then, Sister Jinsha, I'll be going now."

Qin Su nodded to Jin Sha and set off back to the Tianhe training camp.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

【Ding! 】

[Assessing today's training progress.]

[Host's current strength is: 450,000 kilograms, intermediate-level martial general!]

[Host's current mental power is: 220,000 kilograms, Level 4 Mentalist!]

Inside the room, Qin Su suddenly opened her eyes.

He's already a fourth-tier mentalist, which is enough to overpower a Martial Marquis-level opponent. If he were to unleash a sixth-tier lightning spike, he would have a certain ability to protect himself even when facing a Martial King-level opponent.

He took a deep breath, feeling his growing strength, and his emotions surged, becoming extremely excited.

In his previous life, he had no hope of mastering martial arts and worked like a slave. He died tragically at the young age of thirty-eight from overwork. From that moment on, he was always thinking about seizing the opportunity to reach the peak.

In this life, he truly achieved it, and he is visibly on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. Perhaps in the end, he will even break free from Earth, venture into the universe, and become the first person in Earth's history to do so...

"Beep beep beep..."

Just as Qin Su was envisioning the future, his communication device suddenly rang urgently.

I was quite surprised when I saw the call, because it was from my teacher, Lü Feng. Wasn't he supposed to be out of contact for another six months?

Why are you calling all of a sudden...?

Without thinking twice, Qin Su quickly answered the phone.

"Xiao Su, are you in Tianhe Base City right now?" On the other end of the phone, Lü Feng's voice sounded tired and serious.

Qin Su was also surprised to realize for the first time that even a powerful figure like her teacher, Lü Feng, could get tired. The matter he left Xinghan City to deal with must have been truly troublesome.

He began, "Teacher, I'm not in Tianhe Base City right now, but at Tianhe Training Camp. Is there something important that you're calling me about?"

Lu Feng said in a deep voice, "Go to the Tianhe Base City Defense Office immediately, report to them, and assist them in resolving the issue of the superhumans. Be quick, time waits for no one, or things will get really bad."

An extraordinary person?

What is that?

Qin Su looked bewildered, but immediately set off.

Fortunately, on his way to the Tianhe Base City Defense Office, he received detailed information from Lü Feng.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

It turns out that the so-called "superhumans" were the product of a failed experiment by a group of scientists from the National Martial Arts Bureau.

In their research on the Source Beasts, they took a different approach, using the latest neuro-sympathetic technology to conduct neural interactions with the Source Beasts' brains, attempting to find the Source Beasts' genetic defects from their brains.

To this end, they also established a special research institute codenamed 749, located ten kilometers underground in the uninhabited area of ​​northern Mohe, and implemented very strict sealing measures.

But unexpectedly, problems arose in the first experiment. The mad scientist who volunteered to conduct human experiments showed no abnormalities when the experiment ended, leading people to believe that the research could proceed. However, after leaving Institute 749, he mutated.

The most terrifying thing is that it wasn't until he was missing for a full five hours that the other scientists at Institute 749 realized something was wrong.

Meanwhile, the mutated human had already appeared thousands of kilometers away, slaughtering an entire small country, leaving behind millions of corpses, and infecting tens of thousands of servants with mutated forms. Its strength had become extremely terrifying, and it was completely devoid of mind, even more insane than the source beasts.

Even a Martial Emperor-level expert who was being pursued by the Xia Kingdom was torn apart by him with a casual strike.

Lu Feng's sudden departure from Xinghan City was to deal with this matter.

Although Lü Feng had set off immediately, the situation had developed too quickly and too severely. He joined forces with powerful martial artists from Xia Kingdom and the international community, and fought a bloody battle for half a month before finally killing the mutated scientist.

Later, during their investigation, Lü Feng and the others were shocked and enraged to discover that the scientist had already sent his mutated subordinates to infiltrate the Xia Kingdom, intending to slaughter all the Xia people and ascend to godhood through blood refinement.

That's not all. The most terrifying thing is that Lü Feng and his men don't know how to find these superhumans. When they're not acting up, they're no different from normal people. Even if they know they've infiltrated, they can't catch them.

After their frantic research, Lu Feng and the others were almost exhausted to the point of vomiting blood before they finally discovered that these superhumans had a faint radiation reaction, much like the power characteristics of a source beast. They could detect the anomaly with their keen mental power and then capture them.

Therefore, the Xia Kingdom's top leadership immediately dispatched all its mentalists to search throughout the country.

Among the nine base cities, Kyoto base city was the most severely invaded, with at least several thousand superhumans infiltrating. The other base cities, while not as many, still had a considerable number.

This also led to a sudden shortage of mentalists in the entire Xia Kingdom.

Especially in remote areas like Tianhe Base City, it's even harder to find mentalists. That's why Lü Feng called Qin Su and asked her to stop cultivating and go help deal with the problem of superhumans.

Fortunately, there weren't many superhumans who had infiltrated Tianhe Base City. According to estimates by experts like Lü Feng, there were at most fifty-odd, and the strongest among them were only at the Martial King level. Tianhe Base City should be able to handle them.

"An alien? There are such things? Could this be the so-called humanoid source beast?" Qin Su closed the data, put down his phone, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He recalled how humans mutated after eating the flesh of source beasts, and couldn't help but wonder if these two mutations were the same.

Shaking his head, Qin Su didn't dwell on the matter and quickly reported to the Defense Office of Tianhe Base City.

The Defense Office is so busy that everyone is practically running.

Qin Su stopped a young man in military uniform carrying documents. After explaining her purpose, the young man bowed respectfully to Qin Su and then gave her directions.

Qin Su then walked to an office and saw that the door was open and there were people inside. He gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A voice, emanating authority without anger, rang out softly.

Qin Su walked in and smelled a strong disinfectant odor in the air, but even such a strong disinfectant odor could not mask the faint smell of blood.

Then he saw a middle-aged man, shirtless, sitting casually on a stool.

The middle-aged man had three huge scratches on his chest, running across his entire chest, as if they were about to tear him apart.

Beside him, a doctor in a white coat was carefully applying a specially prepared healing ointment.

"Young man, you've come to the wrong place. This is the Legion Commander's office."

The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Su indifferently.

His wounds looked painful, especially as the healing medicine was applied, causing black smoke to rise from the wounds and black blood to flow continuously.

Just looking at it makes my scalp tingle; I don't even dare to imagine how painful it must be.

The middle-aged man's expression didn't change much, and his voice was incredibly steady and full of energy.

Qin Su knew she couldn't do it herself, so she held this kind of tough guy in the highest esteem.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man speak, he bowed respectfully and said, "You must be He Jianming, the corps commander of the Tianhe Base City Defense Force?"

"It's me. And who are you?"

He Jianming looked Qin Su up and down, a hint of suspicion appearing in his eyes. He seemed to have seen this young man somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

Qin Su glanced at his wounds and asked softly, "Were these injuries inflicted by the supernatural beings? Has Commander He already fought against them?"

Upon hearing this, He Jianming's face showed a look of realization, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're a mentalist who's been ordered to support us?"

"Um."

Qin Su nodded.

When He Jianming saw that Qin Su was indeed a mentalist who had come to provide support, he paused for a moment and smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that his superiors were really overwhelmed and unable to spare any more time, so they even sent such a young kid.

So small, what good is it? Its mental strength is probably not even at the second level, right? Don't be so scared that you wet your pants when facing those brutal superhumans.

He Jianming sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. He simply waved his hand wearily and said to Qin Su:

"Well, let's not talk about the superhumans for now. I'll give a briefing at the meeting later. A few more mentalists should be coming over. We'll discuss the situation once they arrive. Child, you must be tired from your journey. Go and rest for a bit."

"Don't rush. The main problem is that those superhumans are very strange, and none of them are easy to deal with. We need to conserve our energy to deal with them..."

Without waiting for Qin Su to speak, he directly ordered, "Lieutenant, take this mentalist to rest. Arrange the best single room for him, and also tell the finance department that all his expenses during his stay at the Ministry of Defense will be covered by the Ministry of Defense."

A tall and upright adjutant walked over, bent down slightly, and extended his left hand in an inviting gesture to Qin Su.

Qin Su glanced at He Jianming a few times, hesitated, and finally turned and left.

After Qin Su left, He Jianming shook his head in distress in the office, a deep sense of exhaustion on his face.
