The Destroyer Squad stood inside the abandoned factory.

They witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives:

In a pool of blood, Black Serpent's corpse had been split in two.

Red blood covered the ground, and scorch marks lay nearby.

Pure, blazing Yang Attribute energy surged through the surroundings.

"This..."

The Destroyer Squad's faces were filled with shock.

Since when had such an extreme Yang Attribute Pioneer appeared here?

Su Qingying held her arm, her dark brows slightly furrowed on her pale face. Her tone was certain.

"It was him."

"Him?"

"I think I know what happened."

Su Qingying spoke, though a trace of discomfort showed on her face.

"I should know this person. He's the subject of my mission."

"A monitoring mission?" the captain asked.

"Yes. I was originally here to monitor a Pioneer with an extreme High-level Attribute. He is a Yang Attribute Pioneer..."

Su Qingying briefly described her monitoring efforts, leaving out the embarrassing fact that she was always trailing behind to clean up his messes.

"In short, every time I was about to find him, he always left one step ahead of me, as if he did it deliberately."

"Before, I wondered whether he really was doing it on purpose. Now, it seems he always knew I was searching for him nearby."

Thinking about how the subject of her monitoring mission had been monitoring her in return,

Su Qingying felt her scalp go numb.

So she had been played all along!

However, that feeling only lasted for a moment before being replaced by a complicated emotion.

"I came to monitor him and, incidentally, protect him. Yet in the end, he was the one who protected me..."

After hearing her words, the Destroyer Squad fell silent.

They looked at one another, unsure of what to say.

Damn!

That was incredible.

Such a powerful Pioneer had actually been hiding in this seemingly rundown apartment building.

"What incredible strength. You just said he was a Yang Attribute Pioneer? Then what is this?"

The captain crouched down and pointed gravely toward a corner.

It was Candle Night's corpse.

Candle Night's body had clearly been struck by Thunder Power.

A vast amount of electrical energy still lingered on it.

Even reaching out a hand would earn an unexpected zap.

It was clear that the person who attacked possessed an extremely powerful Thunder Attribute.

"This is... a Thunder Attribute? Judging by its purity, it's also a High-level Attribute." Su Qingying's beautiful eyes widened. "But he's a Yang Attribute Pioneer. I personally saw those traces before. It was definitely a Yang Attribute."

"You mean two people appeared here yesterday, one after the other, less than five minutes apart? One killed Black Serpent, the other killed Candle Night, and then they left together?"

The captain looked at her.

Su Qingying could only remain silent.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Two people appeared in the same place at once, each happened to kill one anomaly, then tacitly turned and left?

"I just compared their attack habits, methods of killing, the footprints here, and so on. After analysis, the two anomalies were very likely killed by the same person."

The reconnaissance officer adjusted her glasses, speaking with some hesitation.

One person?

Even she did not quite believe it as she said it.

But the evidence showed that the two people truly were one and the same.

"A dual-attribute Pioneer?"

"Thunder and Yang—both are High-level Attributes."

"He's practically a monster!"

A profound shock rose in the hearts of the Destroyer Squad members.

The air was filled with violent lightning, making their hearts race.

Those two anomalies lying on the ground—

Either one of them alone had nearly gotten them all killed here.

But what was the outcome?

The other party had killed both of them in a single move!

Clean and decisive, killing them with one strike each!

They were both in the Divine Axe Realm... yet the gap was simply absurd.

"My monitoring target has appeared. I need to report this to headquarters."

After a long while, Su Qingying broke the silence, her expression still somewhat dazed.

The Destroyer Squad members understood perfectly.

Because they felt exactly the same way. They were not only dazed, but even felt as if they might be dreaming.

Su Qingying turned and walked aside to report the information.

The two missions she had been assigned—monitoring and killing Candle Night—had collided at this moment, so she could report both of them herself.

"I think headquarters is in for quite a shock too."

"A Pioneer with two High-level Attributes—an unprecedented existence. With attributes this extreme, possessing even one would make him a top-tier genius, yet he has two at once! Damn!"

"Did you see that Yang Attribute? Blazing and tyrannical, it didn't lose to the Thunder Attribute in the slightest. With such an extreme Yang Attribute, he must have dispersed that Black Mist. Forget Black Serpent—even a High-level Attribute Darkness might not have been able to withstand it!"

"A top-tier genius like this... the organization will surely be desperate to recruit him, right?"

At this time, although Spirit Qi Recovery had not yet fully begun, strange phenomena were already appearing frequently across the world.

Every organization was racking its brains to bring in talented people.

This was not only for the current cleanup operations, but even more so for the future!

Once Spirit Qi Recovery truly arrived, the world would be reshaped under another order. Whoever had more and stronger Pioneers would have the bigger, harder fist.

Of course...

A peerless prodigy with two High-level Attributes was an ultimate resource surpassing all else. The major powers would surely fight tooth and nail to bring him under their command.

Whoever possessed him would be holding half the hope for the future!

Su Qingying thought the same.

She reported her monitoring results to the organization, proposing that he might be a Pioneer with both Yang and Thunder High-level Attributes.

"Should I go find him and persuade him to join our Spirit Cultivation Association?"

After Su Qingying made the suggestion, she waited for a long time without receiving any response.

She lightly tapped her earpiece twice more and heard a beeping sound from within. The signal had probably been cut off.

After waiting a while, the signal quickly returned, and the agent's voice came through the earpiece.

"You should come back first."

"For now, it appears that he has no hostility toward our Immortal Cultivation Association. The fact that he saved you this time, as well as this entire area, sufficiently proves that he is not our enemy."

"But if we continue sending people to stay there and disturb him, it may affect his impression of the Immortal Cultivation Association."

The agent's cautious words stirred up enormous waves in Su Qingying's heart.

Disturb him? You actually call monitoring like mine disturbing him?

No, that was not the point.

Su Qingying had joined the Truth Cultivation Association for a year, yet this was the first time she had heard the Immortal Cultivation Association take such a cautious attitude toward a Pioneer.

It was practically as though they were afraid he might dislike them!

Still...

She lowered her head to look at Candle Night's corpse, where electric arcs continued to swell. The Thunder Power had remained for a long time without dissipating, proving that his Thunder Power was exceptionally pure.

The golden Yang Attribute at the entrance was drenched by torrential rain, yet it still maintained its high temperature, producing terrifying steam.

This guy... was so strong.
