Jiangnan Base City

After Lin Qingyu arrived at Jiangnan Base City, he went straight to the military district outside the Base City.

As soon as he arrived, Lin Qingyu saw Li Dawei and Wang Luohan greeting him with smiles.

Strictly speaking, Li Dawei could be considered Lin Qingyu's elder.

Li Dawei was an old acquaintance of Lin Qingyu's father, Lin Meng. When Lin Qingyu had just been born, Li Dawei had even held him.

"Uncle Li, you're being so welcoming that I'm almost flattered," Lin Qingyu said as he followed Li Dawei.

"Haha, anyone would be this welcoming upon meeting an expert of your caliber, Xiao Yu." Li Dawei was in high spirits. "And that research institute of yours is quite good as well. The toxin produced by the institute has performed excellently in trials. Our Base City purchased a batch to deal with this Beast Tide."

Lin Qingyu coming to Jiangnan Base City was only one aspect of it. After all, as a Councillor level expert, he could not casually intervene in a Beast Tide. However, the results developed by Lin Qingyu's research institute were genuinely useful—perhaps even more useful than Lin Qingyu himself during a Beast Tide like this.

After all, if a Councillor level expert acted, the Monster Kings in the ocean would respond in kind. A level-one Beast Tide that could originally be endured might spiral out of control and become a Disaster level beast tide.

Humanity was in an extremely stifled position before the sea monsters. The sea monsters could launch a Beast Tide whenever they wished, while humanity could only defend passively. They did not even dare deploy Councillor level experts lightly, for fear that the Beast Tide would lose control.

Still, Lin Qingyu's arrival made Li Dawei extremely happy.

After learning that the sea monsters were gathering to launch a Beast Tide, Lin Qingyu directly sent most of the materials he had on hand to the Southeast Military Region. He even sold that King level monster directly to the Southeast Military Region.

The Lord level materials alone were enough for the Southeast Military Region to rush-produce a large batch of high-quality equipment.

Materials from King level monsters were often impossible to buy even if one had the money.

Lin Qingyu's arrival this time could indeed reduce the Southeast Military Region's casualties and losses by a great deal.

"Uncle Li, I have something I'd like to ask your help with," Lin Qingyu said.

"Alright. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely help," Li Dawei said.

"Uncle Li, you know about my past. My Mental Master talent was simply too high—so high that my body couldn't withstand it, leaving me paralyzed for fifteen years. But correspondingly, the moment I awakened, I possessed power beyond that of a War God." Lin Qingyu said, "My situation should be a special case. But it suddenly occurred to me that there might be others in circumstances similar to mine. Perhaps because of their Mental Power, they have difficulty moving or are even tormented by illness, and thus never embark on the path of becoming martial artists. Yet they actually possess immense talent, though that very talent instead becomes the shackles that bind them."

"Oh?" Li Dawei was interested as well. A genius like Lin Qingyu was unprecedented; there was not a second one to be found on the entire Earth.

But even if they could not reach Lin Qingyu's level, merely having the qualifications to become a War God level expert would increase the overall strength of Human civilization.

On an Earth ravaged by monsters, the more experts humanity had, the better.

"The Limitless Martial Arts School only accepts people once they turn sixteen, while physical examinations for university enrollment and military enlistment in our country generally happen at eighteen. Many gifted younger children may be overlooked simply because they receive no attention, or may even choose not to become martial artists for certain reasons. So I hope we can arrange a relatively large-scale physical examination for younger people and use the reports to see whether there are any with circumstances similar to mine," Lin Qingyu said.

"That is a good idea. I can make the decision for Jiangnan Base City and conduct physical examinations by school. But have you discussed this idea with Commander Jia?" Li Dawei asked.

"No. I only came up with it in the past few days. Before this, I was mainly focused on becoming more familiar with Origin Force and Mental Power," Lin Qingyu said.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with Commander Jia. After all, this plan would be beneficial to the selection and cultivation of talent," Li Dawei said.

As a soldier, Li Dawei naturally acted with decisive efficiency. After settling Lin Qingyu in, he directly reported Lin Qingyu's proposal to Jia Yi.

Jia Yi believed the plan was feasible. Of course, there would be considerable difficulties in truly implementing it. Physical examinations themselves were not particularly troublesome, but conducting them on a large scale would consume substantial medical resources.

Humanity's war against monsters had never ceased, and medical resources were needed more for martial artists and soldiers. Thus, physical examinations were generally only arranged at eighteen, when one entered university or enlisted in the military.

But this year was rather special. Across Huaxia, because Lin Qingyu had killed several King level monsters and a large number of Lord level monsters, the overall pressure was far less than in previous years. They could take this opportunity to conduct pilot programs in some areas first.

Three days later, Lin Qingyu was reviewing a stack of documents in the Southeast Military Region's base.

Although the large-scale physical examinations had not yet begun, some exceptional cases already on record had been gathered and handed over to Lin Qingyu.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyu was a Councillor level expert. Otherwise, an ordinary person would not have the authority to access these records.

"Mm, found him." Lin Qingyu saw one of the files. "His name is Luo Feng. He lives in Yangzhou City, is twelve years old this year, has fainted twice, and has suffered from headaches since childhood. It all matches the Original work."

"It's the weekend today. I'll go take a look at Luo Feng." Lin Qingyu acted as soon as he decided. After informing the people at the base, he flew directly out of it.

At his speed, it would not take much time to reach Yangzhou City.

When Lin Qingyu arrived at Luo Feng's home, Luo Feng was not there.

However, Lin Qingyu also went to disturb Luo Feng's family. In any case, Yangzhou City was only so large, and a twelve-year-old like Luo Feng could not have gone far. He only needed to search with his Mental Power.

Very quickly, he found Luo Feng in a park near his home, practicing with a crude wooden blade.

The Limitless Martial Arts School could only be attended after one turned sixteen, and Luo Feng's family was not wealthy like those of certain tycoons or martial artist clans, able to provide a private training room. Thus, practicing in the park with a wooden blade was part of his daily routine.

Though his equipment was crude, Luo Feng's movements were precise and methodical, and he practiced with great seriousness.

Lin Qingyu walked straight up to him and said, "Hello, you're Luo Feng, right?"

Seeing Lin Qingyu approach and greet him, Luo Feng put down his wooden blade and looked at him in confusion. "Hello, big brother. I'm Luo Feng. May I ask who you are?"

Lin Qingyu was fifteen this year, so in front of twelve-year-old Luo Feng, he truly counted as a big brother.

"My name is Lin Qingyu," Lin Qingyu introduced himself. "I see that you possess extraordinary talent. Perhaps you'll become a peerless expert in the future. Are you interested in learning martial arts from me?"

Twelve-year-old Luo Feng was stunned by Lin Qingyu's words.

He had indeed fantasized before that he was an unparalleled genius, and that one day an expert would descend from the heavens and take him as a disciple.

But in his fantasies, the one who came to accept him as a disciple would either be a detached, otherworldly master or a valiant expert overflowing with dominance. Failing that, even an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face would do.

But someone like Lin Qingyu, who was only a few years older than him, had truly never crossed his mind.

Chapter Nineteen is still being censored, but I revised it and posted another chapter. It should be fine now and won't affect the reading experience.
