Exploding God

"Where's that boy who was contemplating jumping off the tower?"

"He went back, and he seems to be in... okay condition." Qi Yuan carefully chose his words.

"Honestly, people like this can't even handle their own problems and end up causing trouble for others. They're awful!"

The gyroplane quickly carried everyone back to the reconnaissance tower. After a brief inquiry, several staff members spoke angrily.

"It's fortunate that we had members of your Hibiscus Team. The two of you just had a truly spectacular battle against the Ghost Eye Moth," the leading staff member said with a smile.

Han Zhen, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to retort, "Have you guys ever seen what a god is?" However, he reacted quickly, remembering Lu Ze's unfathomable back, so he changed his words to, "He fell down by accident."

"Since the person isn't dead and the other party isn't willing to come back with us, let's not pay too much attention to it anymore. The alarm triggered by the seven-star threat has already attracted the attention of many reporters and members of the Combat Alliance. Let's take a short rest and then go out to meet them together. After all, this is a great honor."

The conversation quickly veered to the core topic of kill rewards. Hearing the chaotic discussion around him, the monitor, Tian He, who had just recovered, leaned back in his chair with a blank stare.

……

What does "accidentally" mean?

Jumping off a 400-meter-high tower without any safety equipment, and then turning back to give yourself a creepy smile—that's called an accident?!

He really wanted to slap the tablet computer in his hand onto Han Zhen's face.

But thinking about it is one thing; if he actually posted it, he'd probably get beaten to death.

After all, I'm just a newbie, I don't know what the other party did, and I don't dare to ask.

Once she figured it out, Tian He quickly found her place and settled down in a corner of the meeting room.

"This time, we've killed a seven-star threat behemoth that wasn't detected by the warning system. In addition to the 5000 points reward, we'll also give an extra 20 bonus points!" A middle-aged man in a combat uniform walked in, looking at the group of young pilots with admiration.

The Hibiscus team was initially surprised, but then their eyes turned to Qi Yuan with great interest, and an uncontrollable exclamation rang out, "There's a 20 yuan prize!!"

This is pure windfall; a prize of 20 yuan is enough to buy a decent car.

"Treat us to a meal! Treat us to a meal!!"

"You're the one who'll get rich overnight! Hurry up and get things arranged!"

"Qi Yuan, with your achievements this time, you can probably apply for graduation directly when you go back. At that time, the olive branches thrown by various forces will probably overwhelm you completely." Ye Tianming was also happy for his teammate.

Qi Yuan's face flushed red. He looked awkwardly at his captain, then at Han Zhen, who was chuckling to himself. The calm, composed face of the young man flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "This money can't be touched!"

……

Ten minutes later, the Hibiscus team, having hurriedly dealt with the observers, gathered in a quiet meeting room.

"What! Not the Ghost-Eyed Hawkmoth you shot down?"

"Is it...that high school student?"

A gasp rang out, and everyone gasped, turning to look at Qi Yuan.

The impact of this news far exceeded their expectations.

"Also, I didn't actually save him. When I hit the ground, I was momentarily stunned. When I came to, I saw him standing in front of me and Qi Yuan." Han Zhen added weakly from the side, to be honest, even when answering the reporter's questions just now, his mind was still a bit hazy.

Ye Tianming took a deep breath in disbelief and looked at the two of them solemnly. "If what you say is true, then the combat level this young man has displayed has far surpassed ours. Landing unharmed from a hundred meters in the air means he has entered the realm of the Iron Body, so he must be a high-level gene warrior, and probably at least 7 stars!"

This time, all of them looked up in shock.

Strong Wind Level 7-Star Warrior!

No wonder it landed safely; it's practically a walking combat mech!

This level of strength... is enough to defend a district.

In this era where technology and martial arts coexist, it's rare to see truly high-level genetic warriors. This is because genetic warriors must constantly break through the layers of constraints within their genetic makeup, pursuing greater speed and strength, while simultaneously facing the ever-present threat of the fangs of the Mist Beast!

Therefore, in this era of global upheaval and peril, pure genetic warriors are becoming increasingly rare.

"By the way, what else did he say before he left?" Ye Tianming asked in a deep voice.

"Besides transferring money to him, that's all. I feel like he doesn't like trouble, so Captain, about this matter..." Qi Yuan carefully chose his words.

"It must be kept secret!" Ye Tianming made a quick decision.

"Qi Yuan, Han Zhen, you must cherish and maintain your relationship with him. In this world, having more friends means having more strength."

"Such a young, high-level genetic warrior, his future achievements are probably unimaginable."

Hearing his captain's instructions, Qi Yuan glanced at his brothers, then looked down at his bracelet, and nodded emphatically.

The image of the boy holding a gun to the sky with one hand kept replaying in his mind.

A stunningly accurate shooting experience!

This was his lifelong dream.

……

When Lu Ze walked on the chaotic streets of Tingluo District again, only three hours had passed since he left home, and at first glance he still looked like a carefree young man.

But from this moment on, the power contained within that body beneath the simple T-shirt was completely different.

Physical strength 6 stars, Gale level. This is the first change that the Phoenix Flame brought to Lu Ze. The analysis of Ye Tianming, the captain of the Hibiscus Squad, is infinitely close to the truth at that time, but he can never reach the upper limit of the future.

Because Lu Ze's future is something that far exceeds the limits of imagination.

Within the Star Source Sea of ​​Consciousness, the Phoenix Flame burned steadily, drawing the invisible and colorless Star Source Power in the air to the surface of the body.

This crimson flame is Lu Ze's true inheritance. It is only a fragment, but it is enough to make him dominate the twenty-one realms.

—From the "Red Phoenix Scripture: Burning Stars and Controlling the Dipper"!

This is a treasure hidden deep within the starry sea, worthy of being ranked as supreme as the cycle of time.

From the moment the flame was ignited, it meant that from then on, whether Lu Ze was eating, sleeping, fighting, breathing... in every second of his life, this inextinguishable flame would operate without ceasing, continuously drawing upon stellar energy to transform his cells. This also meant that from this moment on, Lu Ze directly skipped the arduous training stage he had undergone for half a century.

Practitioners of this method will automatically transform over 40 trillion cells in their bodies into Star Source Points, a continuous, incredible, and even miraculous process.

It brings not only a source of power, but also a direction to guide the future!

From now on, it will only be a short time before Lu Ze regains his position as the overlord of the starry sky.

The deeper significance of this is that it allows him to maintain a nearly half-century lead over the starting line even after Earth's civilization has been exposed!

Ding.

The bracelet vibrated slightly, and a message popped up. Lu Ze stopped.

[Your personal account has received a transfer of 20 yuan from "Force Gunner".]

[Brother Lu Ze, please check your reward for killing the Ghost-Eyed Moth! We are members of the Hibiscus Team from Shanglan University. If there is an opportunity in the future, please allow us to extend our hospitality. — Qi Yuan.]

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows. This number didn't make a ripple to him personally, but in this era before the Mist Beasts had rioted, 20 yuan was an absolute and irresistible sum for an ordinary family.

At least for now, this sum of money is enough for him to do something.

【Thanks.】

Lu Ze replied politely, then looked up at his side, a smile playing on his lips.

Four 20-story gray-white buildings stand behind the greenery, connected by long corridors in a U-shape. Eleven large red characters are spread out along the roof ridges, clearly visible in the sunlight.

[Sangnam City Combat Association Medical Center]!

If he remembered correctly, all hospitals directly under the Battle Alliance, regardless of size, were qualified to purchase superior or higher-grade nanomedical robots.

However, Lu Ze did not rush in. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the left and looked at another building next to the entrance of the medical center.

The red lettering of ICBC shone brightly in the sunlight, reflecting the prestige of the world's number one bank. In a fleeting moment, it was as if he had traversed a century of time, and the scene rapidly shifted from a sea of ​​stars back to his own, gently striking a certain spot in his memory.

"Keep it or not... This name still has a nice feel to it, it's so endearing."

Lu Ze smiled and walked toward the glass door that exuded an air of wealth and power.

"Hello sir, what service do you need?"

The girl in the bank uniform spoke sweetly, looking at the casually dressed boy with a professional smile.

"Withdraw the money."

"The kind that's packaged up."

Lu Ze turned his head and revealed a bright smile.
