"Huh? Strength is very good too, already at early-tier second-grade standard!"
"Endurance is excellent as well! Good, good!"
"Come, again!"
"..."
In the combat zone.
Jiang Yuan was sent flying back easily again and again, yet charged forward anew each time. Jiang Yue's voice grew increasingly satisfied, increasingly excited.
Until she had completely tested Jiang Yuan's strength, Jiang Yue raised her small hand and said: "Alright, let's stop here for now."
Jiang Yuan finally stopped, wiping sweat from his forehead.
The surrounding crowd had somehow become packed at some point, all looking at Jiang Yuan with shock. They had guessed Jiang Yuan's talent was strong, but hadn't expected it to be this strong!
Realm was realm; the three attributes were the three attributes!
They had thought Jiang Yuan only had outstanding realm talent; they hadn't expected his three attributes to be similarly exceptional, even slightly exceeding!
Compared to realm, the three attributes were actually the hardest to break through.
Because with background and resources, realm wasn't difficult.
But the three attributes required years of training and sufficient perseverance to maintain.
This was quite rare.
"Xiao Yue, this is your brother?"
At this moment, a deep male voice rang out from the crowd.
Jiang Yuan turned to look. What entered his view was a robust, bald, burly man looking at him with appreciation.
The other party was at least 190cm, similar to his height, but too muscular—very oppressive. Hu Zhengfeng would look small next to him.
"Uncle Li? Uncle Li, why are you here today!"
Jiang Yue asked with surprise, then immediately introduced the two: "Uncle Li, this is my brother Jiang Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan, this is Uncle Li Congwu, a mid-tier first-grade Hunter!"
Without Jiang Yue's explanation, after this Li Congwu appeared, the gazes of everyone around carried respect, even some fear.
But hearing Jiang Yue's introduction, Jiang Yuan was startled in his heart.
Mid-tier first-grade Hunter!
This level was definitely the strongest powerhouse Jiang Yuan had seen.
Auntie Wang was only mid-tier second-grade.
He quickly called out: "Lord Li Congwu."
In this era, addressing someone as "Lord" seemed odd, but this was the demon faction's rule. Odd was odd—couldn't handle a mere form of address?
Li Congwu walked forward, his eyes lighting up as he sized up Jiang Yuan from top to bottom, as if looking at a piece of absolute raw jade. He said directly: "Boy, you don't have a position yet, right? How about following me?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned, before he could speak, Jiang Yue beside him said unhappily: "Uncle Li, this is my brother!"
"You can't poach people like this. My brother will definitely be under my wing, becoming a Seeker in the future!"
Li Congwu clicked his tongue and said: "A Seeker?"
"Being a Seeker isn't bad, but Jiang Yuan's talent is clearly more suited to being a Hunter!"
"If I'm not wrong, all three of his attributes are maxed out. He can break through to early-tier second-grade at any time!"
"And from your fight just now, I noticed he has tremendous combat talent. So, following me to become a Hunter is the most promising path!"
Jiang Yue immediately became unhappy, glaring: "How is being a Seeker not promising?"
"Besides mindlessly killing people, what else can a Hunter do?"
"My brother has had excellent grades since childhood. He's smart! Most suited to be a Seeker!"
"Besides, can't a Seeker be combat-capable too?"
Li Congwu gave a 'heh', speaking in a booming voice: "Who are you saying only knows how to mindlessly kill? I can use my brain too! Forget it, I won't argue with you. Let your brother decide."
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan, grinning widely, revealing what he thought was his friendliest smile, and said: "Boy, you decide!"
"Anyway, if you follow me, I can't promise other things, but I can promise you'll be invincible at the same level!"
"Your talent is born to be a Hunter!"
Jiang Yue gave a light humph but didn't refuse, looking at Jiang Yuan to let him decide.
Was Jiang Yuan tempted?
Tempted.
But didn't dare move.
If he really followed Li Congwu, wouldn't Jiang Yue tear him apart?
His eyes turned, and he smiled brilliantly—that smile made the female believers around him want to compose poetry.
"Uncle Li, anyway, we're all family, so look... how about I acknowledge you as my master, you teach me combat, and I continue being a Seeker?"
Li Congwu was stunned, then laughed in anger: "You boy think pretty well! Want to be a Seeker with your sister, but also want to learn combat from me?"
He hesitated, then said: "It's not impossible... How about this."
"You came this time to participate in the Faith Praise Ceremony, right?"
"How about this!"
"As long as you break through to early-tier second-grade during this Faith Praise Ceremony, then I'll accept you as my disciple!"
"If with your current state, you still can't break through to early-tier second-grade at the Faith Praise Ceremony, then you can keep being your Seeker. How about it?"
Jiang Yue beside him agreed immediately: "No problem! I'll answer for Xiao Yuan! Uncle Li, you can't go back on your word!"
Li Congwu gave a disdainful laugh and said: "I, Li Congwu, mean what I say. My word is bond!"
"Then it's settled. I have matters to attend to, leaving first... Boy, I'll see the results tomorrow!"
Jiang Yuan naturally nodded in agreement, his expression showing excitement.
After speaking, Li Congwu turned and left.
Jiang Yue didn't continue testing Jiang Yuan's strength, leading Jiang Yuan out of here.
"Uncle Li Congwu has extremely powerful strength. Work hard tomorrow, see if you can break through to early-tier second-grade in one go!"
In the elevator downstairs, Jiang Yue said: "If you follow Uncle Li to learn combat, it will greatly improve your personal strength. Don't miss this opportunity."
Jiang Yuan gave an "mm," saying: "Don't worry, Sis, I definitely won't disappoint you tomorrow!"
Jiang Yue smiled gratifiedly, then suddenly said: "Oh right, Xiao Yuan, you can entertain yourself today. I have something to do and need to go out. If I come back early, I'll be back tonight; if late, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at the latest."
Jiang Yuan was stunned: "Ah? Sis, what are you going out to do... uh, never mind, I won't ask."
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "There's nothing I can't tell you. To others, I definitely couldn't say, but you're my brother, and you're already one of us in Shan Min."
"According to intelligence, just the day before yesterday, a group of Awakeners appeared. I'm going to investigate and see if I can find them."
Boom!!!
Jiang Yuan's mind exploded!
His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by someone, his breath stopping at this moment.
But days of infiltration training weren't for nothing. No matter how tumultuous his inner thoughts, his face showed no reaction, curiously waiting for Jiang Yue to continue.
"Oh right, it seems this group came from our Shushan City too. I'm not clear on the specifics; I need to investigate to know."
"Alright, that's all I can tell you. Any more would be against the rules."
Jiang Yue waved her hand, smiling: "Then Sis is leaving first, go back yourself!"
With that, a taxi happened to arrive by the roadside. She got in and left.
Only when the taxi's taillights disappeared around the corner did Jiang Yuan instinctively reach for his phone to send a warning in terror.
He suddenly thought of something, the panic and fear on his face instantly vanishing, maintaining his initial calm. He glanced around as if suddenly noticing the restaurant beside him, then smacked his lips, looking like he was hungry, and walked over.
His walking pace was unhurried; only his wildly pounding heart in his chest narrated the massive waves in his heart right now!
