Chapter 550: The Small-mindedness of Yashan
In the hall of the Origin Mage Association in Huchang City.
The originally exquisite and majestic building of the Origin Mage Association hall had now turned into ruins.
A large crowd of onlookers stood far away, pretending to pass by.
A tall middle-aged man with a gray ponytail stood in front of the ruins, his face dark as he demanded, “Can someone tell me what exactly happened here?”
This person was the president of the Origin Mage Association in Huchang City, whose status was higher than that of the mayor, and he had absolute authority in the entire city.
Feeling the unusually oppressive mood from their president, the people behind him couldn’t help but feel a chill, exchanging glances with each other. A young man wearing glasses spoke nervously, “President, the situation happened very suddenly, and we are still investigating. We will have results soon. Fortunately, the losses are not significant…”
The middle-aged president burst out angrily, “Nonsense! Which of your eyes saw that the losses were not significant? The entire hall building has collapsed, and you still tell me the losses are not significant! Then what would be considered significant losses? Do you all have to die inside for it to be considered significant?”
The people behind him fell silent.
The president continued to vent, “Moreover, can this event be defined by just two words, ‘significant losses’? The face of our Huchang City Master Association has been completely lost! Even my old face has been lost! Damn it, how can I hold my head up at next year’s ‘Conference of City Associations’? Damn it!”
Under Feng Cheng’s explicit instructions, the bomb dropped on Yashan was extremely powerful, not only blowing up the entire hall building into ruins but also affecting nearby buildings, causing varying degrees of damage.
Almost immediately after the explosion, everyone in the city received the news, and there was no way to block it.
It could only be said that Yashan had a very narrow mind when it came to tasks assigned by Boss Wei.
Anyone or anything hindering him from completing Boss Wei’s tasks would make him furious and jump into a rage, just like when he founded the “Temple Forest Society.” He would lift people up at the slightest provocation, slapping them before saying a word.
After following Boss Wei, there was a period of mild temperament for him, which was the aftermath of his crazy reading, believing in nonsense like “being kind to others,” “solving problems with wisdom,” “the influence of love,” “encounters are fate, please treat each other kindly,” and so on.
Now, after being repeatedly defeated for several days, he had seen through the arrogant nature of these people, and his cruelty had returned.
Boss Wei was right; many people are impossible to communicate with, so there’s no need to communicate with those who cannot be communicated with.
The president calmed down a bit and said fiercely, “Where is the criminal who bombed our association?”
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
No one dared to answer.
The young man with glasses remained silent, ignoring the gestures of his colleagues as if he hadn’t seen them.
Finally, the bald Origin Mage who had the ability of “no distinction between top and bottom” muttered, “Escaped!”
The president’s eyes widened in anger, “Escaped??? You let them escape?”
The bald Origin Mage remained relatively calm, saying, “Yes, they escaped. They were rescued by a sudden appearance of a mysterious Origin Mage. They disappeared from the scene as if they were instantly transferred.”
“Oh, and not only did the criminals escape, but also the Evergreen Factory that you entrusted to your nephew some time ago, has also disappeared! I suspect it was the work of the same group of people.”
The president: “???”
Then he and his men went to the site of the former Evergreen Factory outside the city. The once bustling factory, where the machinery roared and the fires burned, was no longer there? It was empty, filled only with exposed fresh soil.
The president cursed loudly, calling them “useless” and “good-for-nothings,” and after cursing enough, he waved his hand and said, “Put out a bounty for them. I’ll make sure they can’t find a place to hide anywhere in the world!”
He no longer cared about the Evergreen Factory, whether it was a bizarre disaster or the work of the people who bombed the association hall, it was all attributed to the person who bombed the hall.
At this moment, the bald Origin Mage hesitated for a moment before saying, “I didn’t see their faces clearly. They were covered by a huge suit of armor.”
The president’s anger flared up again, not knowing how to vent it. After cursing randomly for a while, he said, “Then put out a warrant for that armor!”
…
So, within a short period of time, the two sets of crystal armor were listed on the wanted lists of all Origin Mage Association halls worldwide, hanging prominently on the walls of the association halls.
Even the Mage Association halls in Huai Shui Town were not exempt, showing high efficiency.
These two sets of armor quickly became famous, known as the “Ground-Scraping Armor,” believed to be the armored forms of two mysterious Origin Mages.
When Su Hao and Ah Xing Ah Wang were gathering for their mission, they heard Ah Xing mention this matter. Su Hao’s mouth twitched as he commented, “Why choose such a name? ‘Ground-Scraping Armor’… Who came up with that name? I would call them the Master of Naming!”
Ah Xing laughed, “I guess those mages whose association halls were bombed were angry and just randomly came up with it, probably trying to annoy those two armored individuals! Haha, it’s quite amusing.”
Ah Wang also chuckled, “There’s hardly a wanted criminal alias on the list that sounds good. Once they become criminals, how could they be kind enough to give themselves an imposing name? Basically, they’re all trying to bury themselves in the mud! But, this name sounds okay to me, ‘Ground-Scraping Kai,’ hehe!”
Ah Xing said, “If I had a nickname that could make the whole world know me, I wouldn’t care if it sounded good or not.”
Su Hao said, “That’s simple. I’ll make a bomb for you, and you can use it to blow up the Origin Mage Association hall!”
“No, I’m not ready to die yet!”
On the way to their mission, the three of them chatted leisurely and happily, not like they were going to do a dangerous disaster task, but more like going out for a picnic.
And in fact, there was hardly any difference from going for a picnic.
Most of the disaster tasks in Huai Shui Town were not taken seriously by the three of them.
After all, they were a team that had solved two bizarre disasters! They were famous for being powerful in the whole Huai Shui Town, and everyone gave them some face.
Although their reputation was only in this small place of Huai Shui Town for now, Ah Xing believed that in the future, the name of their Source Team would spread throughout the entire Heng Xuan area, and even the whole world.
Moreover, their team was now considered a wealthy team, no longer lacking money. They selectively accepted tasks, and the frequency was not high. On average, they only took one task per month, living a very comfortable life.
And this was exactly what Su Hao wanted. He needed more time to do his own things.
So far, the reason why he had not left the Yang Wang Star Gazing team was because he recognized Ah Xing’s ability to gather intelligence. As long as he stayed in the Yang Wang Star Gazing team, he could share various information collected by Ah Xing and understand some dynamics of this world.
This was very important for Su Hao, who currently did not have a stable channel to obtain external information.
Of course, he would eventually leave the team, it was just a matter of time, perhaps a year, perhaps two years!
……
Su Hao gradually adapted to the rhythm of this world, moving forward according to the established plan at every moment.
– Doing tasks to collect data and understand knowledge about disasters;
– Taking time to travel around the world, leaving coordinates and collecting books;
– Researching the source devices obtained, analyzing the characteristics of “source”;
– Cultivating and breaking through the realm of Divine Transformation, acquiring “Divine Sense”;
– Spending two hours daily on uninterrupted mental strength training…
He never slackened in pursuit of his goals.
Two years later, Su Hao was seventeen years old.
He opened his eyes from cultivation, his eyes shining brightly, with a hint of joy.
“Divine Transformation!”
This familiar and powerful feeling returned to him once again. The huge spiritual power surging within him gave him an incomparable sense of security.
This was the pinnacle he once reached!
Most importantly, his perception of “Divine Sense” had returned, giving him the feeling of having everything under control.
Of course, Su Hao was aware that this was an illusion, far from having everything under control.
But what excited him was that through years of uninterrupted mental strength training, the range of his “Divine Sense” perception was now larger than in the previous world, reaching a radius of two hundred kilometers.
Within this range, whether it was mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds, beasts, insects, or fish, flying in the sky or lurking underground, none could escape his perception.
What did a range of two hundred kilometers mean? It was almost like the perception of a deity walking the earth!
Coupled with the “Divine Sense” that could make everything visible, he now had the confidence to face the most bizarre and powerful Source Masters in this world!
Now, no one could stop him from studying the source recklessly! All those who stood in his way would be eliminated in advance.
Su Hao stood up and stretched his limbs, the smile on his face growing wider: “Let me see what the ‘source’ really is!”
The wide range was not his main concern; what he cared about was the observational ability of “Divine Sense” towards matter!
If he concentrated his attention on a certain point, then the observational ability of his “Divine Sense” was almost as strong as the magnification effect of Little Light’s Space.
In other words, he could now use Divine Sense to observe the “source.”
