Before the news of Linfeng's team defeating the Hongyun Team had spread, discussions about the battle had already begun within Guanglin's protective artifact, the red lantern.
Currently, aside from the twelve major base cities, there were seventeen city strongholds.
The city strongholds were built in the wilderness, and although they had all sorts of high-tech weapons, they were not as safe as the base cities because they did not have a protective artifact. They were often attacked by monsters or even besieged.
Everyone wanted to enter a base city.
The base city was a guarantee of safety, and the protective artifact was the symbol of a base city. It was also the biggest difference between a city stronghold and a base city.
A protective artifact could release a barrier that enveloped the entire city, preventing it from being attacked by monsters. At the same time, it was also the most powerful war machine.
It was precisely because of the deterrence of the protective artifact that the foreign tribes of Shenwu Continent did not dare to rashly invade.
The interior of Guanglin's protective artifact, the red lantern, was like a metal fortress. All sorts of high-tech equipment could be seen everywhere, and it felt very high-tech.
The red lantern had a total of 49 floors, and each floor had a different function and responsibility.
It was like an office building, with people coming and going. There were more than ten thousand people working in the protective artifact. They collected information, monitored everything that happened in the base city, and issued orders.
This was the central hub of Guanglin Base City, and it was the key to maintaining the base city's stable operations.
At this time, the 48th floor was the Information Processing Department.
At this time, the eight supervisors of the Information Processing Department were gathered in the Information Hall. In front of them was an analysis wall made up of light screens that automatically parsed all sorts of information.
On the centermost screen was the scene of the battle between Linfeng's team and the Hongyun Team.
The image was not very clear, and it was intermittent. There was no sound.
This was a secretly recorded video.
For the sake of confidentiality, students were not allowed to enter the arena to watch the battle, but it was obvious that this did not have much of an effect. There were still some instructors who had used special methods to record the battle.
"Lin Feng, male, from Rivertown, 20 years old, Peak Rank-5 strength, refined a Rank-1 Dragonfish demon spirit. The Dragonfish contains a small amount of Dragon Clan bloodline and possesses the rare dual attributes of thunder and water. Its innate ability is to spit out bubbles. When the bubbles burst, there will be thunder and lightning damage as well as explosive impact.
[Cultivates a lightning-attributed cultivation method. Cultivation method: unknown. Rank: unknown. Known martial skills: Grade 3 Thunder Steps, Grade 3 Thunderous Strike, Grade 9 Thunder Cry. In two years, he broke through from Grade 1 to peak Grade 5. Martial talent evaluation: SSS, combat talent evaluation: SSS.]
In two years, the demon spirit advanced from Rank 1 to Rank 4. According to the demon spirit's description, it has already absorbed the fourth soul skill. The fourth soul skill is a purplish-gold soul skill, 'Phantom'. The other three soul skills are suspected to be Gold soul skills. One of them is suspected to be a soul skill with a lock-on function. Two years ago, it was evaluated to be Rank S, and now it is Rank SS. "
Many people exclaimed in surprise when all the information was summarized and the level of evaluation was released.
There were seven levels, from high to low: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D.
SS class!
Not to mention Guanglin, even in the entire country, it was extremely rare for a genius to reach this level.
As for the Rank SSS, it had not appeared for 27 years.
The person who was evaluated to be Rank SSS 27 years ago was now a Martial King expert. He refined an Earth Ranking demon spirit and absorbed nine soul skills. He was only one step away from becoming a Soul King, and it was very likely that he would enter the Emperor Realm in the future.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the demon spirit's level was too low and it would be difficult for it to advance in the future, I think it could be evaluated to be Rank SSS."
"Yeah, after all, it's a Grade 1 demon spirit. It's already a miracle that it could advance to Grade 4. In the future, it's possible for it to reach Grade 5 or 6, but I'm afraid it won't be a high rank demon spirit."
"That's not necessarily true. Have you seen anyone who can absorb a Purple Gold soul skill after absorbing a Grade 1 or 4th soul skill?"
"Yunkai, Zheng Tianxing, Zhang Xianxian … There are a total of seven people, and they're all Rank SS. I wonder who will be chosen."
"I think it's still Yunkai. After all, he's a peerless genius who has undergone atavism. Linfeng's future is still uncertain."
"That's not something we can decide. Just submit the report. There's nothing else for us to do."
49th floor.
In a room surrounded by white metal, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit sat on a chair. In front of him was a light screen. On the light screen was an analysis report of a super genius.
Looking at the report, the man fell into deep thought.
The middle-aged man asked, "Shadow, who do you think is more suitable?"
"Linfeng."
The room was empty. Aside from the man, there was no one else in the room. However, a hoarse voice sounded.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised. He was just casually asking and didn't expect to get a response.
"It's rare for you to speak. Why him? Aren't they all Rank SS? I think Yunkai is also very suitable!"
The room was silent for two minutes before the hoarse voice sounded again, "Because of his identity."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "I knew you would say that. Indeed, his identity is very advantageous."
The middle-aged man tapped on the light screen. After Linfeng's evaluation, there was a detailed introduction of his identity.
This introduction recorded Lin Feng's growth in detail from his birth until now.
In front of the most professional and excellent intelligence department in the country, everything about Linfeng was transparent, including his identity that many people didn't know.
His mother, Lin Fang, was an ordinary person with no talent for cultivation. His stepfather was just an ordinary civil servant. Everything was normal. Only his biological father was a little surprising.
Yang Qing!
Even he, who was in a high position, had heard of this name.
He was about to become a Martial King and had obtained a key. He had the potential to become an Emperor.
It wouldn't be long before he could be on equal footing with him.
And Linfeng was his child.
An abandoned illegitimate child!
This was probably the most shocking thing he had heard this year.
Today, Yang Qing's arrival in Guanglin wasn't a secret. As for the purpose, it was easy to guess. However, the father and son didn't communicate at all. They didn't even greet each other. It was as if they were strangers.
It was obvious that Linfeng had refused to return to the Yang Clan.
The Clan of Glory.
If he returned, there would be many benefits.
With Linfeng's talent and his identity as Yang Qing's son, if he returned to the clan, he would definitely become the focus of the clan's training.
Linfeng had absorbed a low-rank demon spirit. Now that his demon spirit had advanced to the fourth rank, if it wanted to advance further, it would require a huge amount of resources. It would probably cost at least ten billion.
Even so, Linfeng still didn't compromise.
From this, it could be seen that he had his own bottom line. He wouldn't easily compromise for resources.
And loyalty was far more important than talent.
"Then it's him. I hope we didn't misjudge him," the middle-aged man said slowly.
The middle-aged man said slowly. There was no response, and the room quickly returned to silence.
At this moment, Linfeng didn't know that he was about to be involved with a mysterious organization.
It was the 'pure land' that he also desired!
