Shen Lian's words made the atmosphere tense once more.
"Foolish! Utterly foolish!"
Zhao Yan slapped his thigh hard, his face filled with anguish.
"Young people are still just young people! To show off, he actually chose to publicly broadcast the kill playback!"
"Although the reward is generous, this is like showing his underwear to everyone else!"
Zhao Yan paced back and forth in the office anxiously. "His whereabouts are exposed, his supernatural ability intel is leaked..."
"Those scum from the Eagle Country and Cherry Blossom Country must be watching right now!"
"Once they figure out his background, jealousy will set in, and the assassination methods will be endless. How can this child defend against that?!"
Wan Changzheng also frowned, nodding repeatedly. "Indeed..."
"Wood stands tall in the forest, the wind will destroy it."
"This child's move was too risky."
But then, Wan Changzheng's tone shifted.
He looked up at Zhao Yan.
"However... Old Zhao, you also need to understand a principle."
"If you want to assassinate a tiger, the hunter must have the strength to break a tooth."
"That's right, Chief."
Shen Lian, who had been calm all along, pushed up her glasses and agreed.
"According to our Think Tank's rough estimates."
"The strength of this 'No Need to Say More' is at least an S-class Transcendent from the start."
"And..."
Shen Lian paused, her tone becoming exceptionally serious.
"I have reason to suspect that he is very likely not an ordinary Awakener, but a Chosen of God!"
"And the supernatural ability he possesses is very likely a Rule-Based Supernatural Ability with a high sequence ranking and extremely high lethality."
"Chosen of God?!"
Upon hearing these three words, Wan Changzheng and Zhao Yan's breathing hitched.
Wan Changzheng nodded, his expression solemn. "Your analysis makes sense."
In this Barbaric Realm, after years of human exploration and summation, humanity's combat power system is roughly divided into four categories.
The first category: Ordinary People. Their overall physical fitness hovers around F to E-class, with no Supernatural Abilities. This is the largest group among humans, and the most fragile cornerstone.
The second category: Reinforced Humans. Their overall physical fitness hovers around D to S-class. Although they lack Supernatural Abilities, their bodies are powerful through the consumption of Natural Treasures or Gene Drugs. Almost all Grassroots Combat Personnel and Special Forces Soldiers belong to this category.
The third category: Transcendent. These are people who have awakened Supernatural Abilities. Their Strength varies greatly, with an extremely low floor (F-class) and an extremely high ceiling (S-class). This is currently the mid-to-high-end force against Monsters.
The fourth category: Chosen of God. These are extremely rare individuals who stand at the pinnacle of the pyramid. They are born kings. Their Supernatural Abilities are so powerful that they require "Sequences" for ranking, and most of their abilities involve rules and the Law of Causality. Even more terrifyingly, according to investigations, many Chosen of God could already use their Supernatural Abilities slightly even before using Awakening Fruits... Or even before arriving in the Barbaric Realm!
"I remember..." Wan Changzheng's voice trembled slightly. "The Pillar of the Nation in our Central Base is a Chosen of God, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Yan's eyes were filled with reverence. "Sequence ranking 081, ability codename [God of War]." "The ability is... to put friendly forces within a certain area into a 'Blood Lock' state." "As long as their bodies are not completely annihilated, they can continue to fight even if their hearts are shattered."
The thought of that being's terror made Wan Changzheng even more excited.
Chosen of God were already rare, each one a strategic treasure for the nation.
Now, Huaxia might have another one!
"Quick! Hurry and check the video!"
Wan Changzheng urged, his hands trembling.
"This old man can't wait! If it's true, we must protect him at all costs!"
"Right, right! It's already been sent, so it's too late to say anything!"
Zhao Yan also reacted and excitedly leaned towards the screen.
"Look quickly! I want to see what kind of Divine Supernatural Ability this No Need to Say More has!"
Shen Lian nodded, she was equally filled with curiosity. The answer to whether the Think Tank's judgment was correct lay in the video.
She tapped her finger lightly, and the video began to play.
[Kill Replay Start]
The Field of Vision first showed a high-angle, God's-eye view.
It slowly descended from the Blood Moon in the night sky, finally freezing on a Wheat Field shrouded in darkness.
The scene was shocking.
The originally golden Wheat Field was now covered in splattered blood and Severed Limbs and Broken Arms.
The camera zoomed in on a close-up of a Corpse lying in a Blood Pool on the ground, its body cut in half.
It was a boy's body.
His Organs were scooped out and placed aside, and the empty shell was being filled with strange straw.
As for the head, it was covered by a Black Shadow.
This was a special blurring treatment by the Sky Curtain to protect information.
"Sigh..."
Wan Changzheng and Zhao Yan sighed deeply at the sight.
Although the face couldn't be seen, the Tender physical characteristics clearly indicated a young child.
"Chief Engineer Shen, can you analyze it?" Zhao Yan asked.
Shen Lian's mind raced, her gaze sharp as lightning.
"Male, about 1.9 meters tall... a strong build, likely a Sports Student."
"The surrounding environment is a wheat field..."
Suddenly, Shen Lian's pupils contracted, and she hit the pause button.
"Wait a moment, two Chiefs."
Her voice was a little low, "According to my calculations, this person..."
"Is very likely Novice Ranking Eleventh Place, Yang Wei, who is already dead."
"What!?"
Zhao Yan's hand trembled, nearly flipping the table. "It's him?"
Wan Changzheng didn't speak, just gripped the back of his chair tightly, his chest heaving violently.
He forcibly suppressed the stinging sensation in his eyes, as if they wanted to cry.
The moment he learned the other party was his own child, that heartache was impossible to conceal.
"Elemental Scarecrow... Weird Wheat Field... Watcher Scarecrow..."
Zhao Yan lowered his head, muttering, "Meaning, Yang Wei and No Need to Say More were together!"
"That's right."
Shen Lian analyzed calmly, "They are very likely classmates who came to the Barbaric Realm together."
"Judging by their attire, they should be a group of students on a Spring Outing."
"But..."
Shen Lian's tone shifted, "I don't think this Yang Wei is No Need to Say More's partner, at least not a teammate of the same Level."
Wan Changzheng agreed, "You are absolutely right."
"Judging by the time of the kill, No Need to Say More has the ability to instantly kill a Boss, there's no reason he couldn't protect Yang Wei."
"Unless... it was a low-probability event."
"For example, this Watcher Scarecrow has a significant First Kill flaw."
"Yang Wei was buying him time, or used his life to probe for information."
"Chief, your insight is very keen."
Shen Lian nodded: "So, let's see what kind of surprise 'No Need to Say More' will bring us next."
The video continued to play.
The camera zoomed in, the perspective shifting to a dense wheat field.
At this moment, a humanoid figure was lying prone in the wheat rows, trembling all over, not daring to move.
"Is this 'No Need to Say More'?"
The three of them were simultaneously confused, then looked to the other side.
Not far away.
A scarecrow draped in tattered human skin was searching the ground on all fours like a giant, deformed spider.
"Hiss!"
Zhao Yan gasped, his scalp tingling.
"Is this the S-class Watcher Scarecrow? The monsters of Weird Island truly live up to their reputation; they look so terrifying!"
Those twisted limbs, those seven orifices stuffed with straw, the smell of blood could be detected even through the screen.
Shen Lian, however, stared intently at the screen, her ears twitching slightly.
"The sound... although very faint, there's the sound of a mechanical watch..."
"That scarecrow is heading towards the mechanical watch."
However, in the next moment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
The real Watcher Scarecrow crushed the mechanical watch in its hand.
It then let out an enraged roar and tore open the human skin on its own body!
Zzzt!
A true Demon Main Body, a full Two and a Half Meters Tall with three Withered Wood Arms, emerged from beneath the skin!
This sight made the scalps of the three tingle.
"These kids..."
Wan Changzheng couldn't bear to watch: "They actually had to face such a terrifying creature..."
Zhao Yan slammed the table even harder: "Damn it! How desperate must they have been at that time!"
"This feeling of powerlessness, being able to only watch and not save, is truly unbearable!"
Shen Lian was not affected by emotions, unwilling to miss any of the scarecrow's movements.
"It's starting to wave..."
The next second, a ghost wind swept through the video, the wheat stalks bent and fell, gently patting the boy who was lying on the ground.
Shen Lian's beautiful eyes widened instantly.
"Sound?"
"So that's how it is..."
"The Watcher Scarecrow has no Vision; it identifies its location through feedback from sound and wind."
Wan Changzheng and the other person also noticed these details at this moment.
"No wonder No Need to Say More didn't run; he saw through the opponent's weakness!"
"But..."
Wan Changzheng asked doubtfully, "How is he going to counter-kill next?"
"Since he's been discovered, it's a dead end."
"Could it be related to his supernatural ability?"
Everyone's heart leaped into their throats.
No Need to Say More, what secret are you hiding?
Just then, the kill record timer in the bottom right corner of the screen began to count down.
This meant the video had entered the main event!
Something big was coming!
"It moved! It moved!"
Zhao Yan shouted.
They saw the Three-Handed Scarecrow let out a roar, dropping to all fours, and pounce towards the boy lying on the ground!
At that moment, the aura of death washed over them.
But in the very next moment.
creak!
The rapidly running scarecrow, however, stopped abruptly in its tracks as if it had suddenly slammed on the brakes!
Its gaze bypassed the Black Shadow on the ground. Two balls of Red Light suddenly ignited in its originally hollow eye sockets!
"Huh?"
The three were stunned.
What was it looking at?
Just then, the video's perspective shifted again, intelligently switching to the Scarecrow's first-person view.
And at this very moment.
The three finally saw the being the S-class Monster was staring intently at.
In the distant Wheat Field, a figure slowly walked out.
He wore a thin Black Shirt, his collar open, letting the Night Wind flutter the hem of his clothes.
He held no weapon, nor did he adopt a defensive stance.
His hands...
Were casually tucked into his pockets.
He just stood there quietly, meeting the gaze of the S-class Scarecrow from afar.
Due to the backlight and the Sky Curtain's privacy protection, his face couldn't be seen clearly.
But even so.
Through the screen, Wan Changzheng, Zhao Yan, and Shen Lian could clearly feel the aura emanating from the Man...
That fearless, even slightly disdainful and contemptuous expression.
That aura made him seem more like a Monster than the S-class Monster itself.
Shen Lian pushed up her Glasses.
"This... is the true..."
"No Need to Say More."
