This Was a War God?

Liu Yun had been too embarrassed to refuse Glinda's proposal, so he had no choice but to accept and wait for the intermediate War Generals to arrive.

He was still walking through the ruins. Supposedly, this had once been a major city, with a fine harbor and an exceedingly complex cluster of buildings. But when disaster struck, its proximity to the ocean left it defenseless against the monsters lurking beneath the waves, and it was almost completely wiped out overnight.

Everyone had been brutally slaughtered by monsters in a single night. The city had once looked down on Huaxia and cursed its other cities, but when the Great Cataclysm came, it met a truly wretched end.

"Splendor is a joke; in the end, all returns to dust." Liu Yun silently repeated the words to himself, as if summing up the city's fate. This once-glorious city was now nothing but ruins. The shadows of its broken walls stretched beneath the setting sun, lending the scene an especially desolate and lonely air.

Monster corpses littered the ground, all of them killed by Liu Yun. He had been fighting here for a long time, and his martial skills had advanced from the Beginner War General level to the intermediate War General level. His movement technique had also reached the perfect level, and his strength had automatically risen by a considerable margin.

The Ghost Fighter Liu Yun had bought was packed full of monster materials. His Machine Race Clone had modified it, and even its cannon could deliver a casual strike at the intermediate War General level. It was a formidable machine in its own right, and was now stuffed with monster scales, horns, and pelts worth over ten billion.

The ridiculous thing about this place was that even its manner of death was ridiculous. With nothing better to do, Liu Yun urinated amid the ruins to show off his superiority.

At the same time, a plane streaked across the sky. Several figures dropped from it, descending at great speed without appearing to use parachutes. As they landed, they happened to see Liu Yun fooling around.

"Who is that? A newly promoted War God?"

A young woman with brilliant golden hair like Glinda's asked. She glanced around, but saw only Liu Yun.

Another girl stood nearby, with red hair. She looked younger and more frail, but bore the mark of a Psychic.

"Judging by his appearance, he matches the information we received. So he must be War God Liu Yun, the person we're here to follow."

Her silver eyes swept quickly across the entire battlefield. Her powerful Psychic Power let her analyze all the information here in an instant. Yet her voice was rather sweet as she explained that she had come to follow Liu Yun.

Liu Yun heard them, too. His Psychic Power allowed him to notice everything, which was also why he dared to hunt monsters here alone.

"Why would they send so few people here? This place is certainly unpleasant, but it's still extremely dangerous. What is Glinda up to?"

Liu Yun looked up at the figures in the sky. They streaked down like meteors, landing on the ruins with indescribable elegance. Each time their feet touched the ground, a faint rumble sounded, sending up the dust and rubble around them, only for some invisible force to gently smooth it away in an instant, leaving no trace of disorder.

As you stared into the abyss, the abyss stared back at you. The four of them had landed without parachutes, which was impressive enough. The dust cloud obscured them from Liu Yun's view, but once they emerged, he saw that they were four foreign women, all young and beautiful.

Apart from the one who had spoken first, the other two were intermediate War General-level Martial Artists. They stepped forward in brightly colored, tight-fitting outfits, frowning.

"What's going on? These are all Beginner War General-level monsters? This man doesn't even seem to be a high-level War General!"

One of the two held a Western-style rapier, while the other carried a Yingzhou Straight Blade. The fencer with the rapier frowned as she spoke.

They quickly saw through Liu Yun's true strength. At present, he was only a War General. His movement technique had only just been perfected, while his Machine Race Clone, which should have been supporting him, had him firmly suppressed.

Liu Yun didn't care what other people thought. He only wanted to focus on his cultivation, so even when they questioned him, he didn't remove the seal on his body.

All four of them were intermediate War Generals from the HR Alliance. They had supposedly just graduated from an exceptionally strict cultivation academy, only to be assigned to follow an intermediate War God.

If he really were a powerful intermediate War God, they might have been willing to put up with it. But he looked like a veteran slacker, hardly someone worth pledging their loyalty to.

The silver-eyed girl was the youngest and physically weakest among them. Yet she had awakened the talent of a Psychic, making her the strongest in the group. Now she stepped forward with a doubtful look and asked,

"Hello, my name is Ruby. Are you War God Liu Yun? I think you do look a lot like him..."

Before Ruby could finish speaking, she ducked behind the golden-haired woman. The woman stood a meter and seventy-seven centimeters tall. A War General-level Martial Artist, she was very tall, and stood there without moving, as if she couldn't be bothered to pay Liu Yun any mind.

This was what it meant to see the world with your eyes open. Before crossing over, Liu Yun had worked in foreign trade, and that had often given him a deeper understanding of how much nastier things were on the foreign servers than on the domestic one.

"I do look a lot like him. The last time they held a Liu Yun look-alike contest, I came in second, unfortunately!"

Liu Yun said with interest as he toyed with Little Red, the Firebird that had descended from the sky. Before he was injured, he had actually enjoyed striking a pose and sharing life advice over drinks. People had started imitating him, and eventually someone had even spent five million to organize a contest.

He was mainly worried that Little Red might act recklessly. The Firebird was getting stronger and stronger, and one unexpected attack could easily kill these people.

"Cut it out. Are you War God Liu Yun or not? I can't feel any War God power from you."

The golden-haired woman asked bluntly. Seeing the world with your eyes open seemed to be difficult for some people. That sort of thing was probably what they called a comfort zone. If Liu Yun couldn't get used to it, he'd be stuck on the domestic server for the rest of his life.

"If you can't feel it, then forget it! If I were you, I'd see through Glinda's lie, turn around, and head back to the academy."

Liu Yun thought about it for a third of a second before happily reaching his conclusion. He didn't need teammates at all. After all, he was at the War God level. Going out of his way to look after a few War Generals sent by Glinda would just make him their babysitter, wouldn't it?

The four of them were taken aback. They considered it for a moment and decided that simply leaving would be a little foolish. Either way, they should confirm things with Glinda first.

They made a call, and Glinda was stunned. How could this happen? It had to be some trick Liu Yun was using to return them. If he succeeded, she'd suffer a huge loss.

"Don't overthink it. Just follow him!"

Glinda left them with that one sentence and hung up. She didn't have time to keep an eye on them. Meanwhile, Liu Yun had already gathered his things and was preparing to leave with Little Red.

A giant Iron Armored Dragon was lurking in the center of the city. It already possessed high-level Lord-level strength. The "Tyrannosaurus Dragon Tooth" Liu Yun needed was the Iron Armored Dragon's tooth, so he had no choice but to go after it.
