Out of a sense of obligation, Liu Yun had no choice but to accept the proposal from Glinda and wait for those mid-level War Generals to arrive.
He was still walking through the ruins. It was said that this place was once a major city with a fine harbor and an incredibly complex network of architecture. However, when the catastrophe struck, its proximity to the ocean left it unable to defend against the monsters lurking in the depths, and it was wiped out almost overnight.
Every single person was brutally slaughtered by monsters in that one night. Back then, this city had been quite defiant toward Huaxia, even cursing other Huaxia cities, yet when the Great Cataclysm arrived, they met a truly wretched end.
"Prosperity is a joke; it all returns to dust." Liu Yun recited these words in his heart, as if summarizing the fate of this city. This once-glorious metropolis was now nothing but ruins, its broken walls casting long shadows in the twilight, appearing exceptionally desolate and lonely.
The ground was littered with the corpses of monsters Liu Yun had slain. He had been fighting here for a long time, having progressed from the martial arts realm of a low-level War General to that of a mid-level War General, and his movement techniques had reached the perfect level. His current strength had automatically risen by a significant margin.
Nearby, the Ghost Fighter Liu Yun had purchased was packed to the brim with monster materials. This Ghost Fighter had been modified by his Machine Race Clone, and its cannons could even unleash a strike equivalent to a casual blow from a mid-level War General. Its combat power was quite extraordinary, and it was currently stuffed with monster scales, horns, and furs worth billions.
The ridiculous place had a ridiculous way of dying. With nothing better to do, Liu Yun was urinating in the ruins to assert his sense of superiority.
At the same time, an aircraft streaked rapidly across the sky, and several figures dropped from it. These individuals descended at high speed, seemingly without parachutes, and landed just in time to see Liu Yun acting like a fool.
"Who is this person? Is he a newly promoted War God?"
A girl with golden hair as brilliant as Glinda's asked. As she spoke, she scanned her surroundings, seeing only Liu Yun.
Beside her was a red-haired girl who looked younger and physically frailer, yet she bore the mark of a Psychic.
"Judging by his appearance, he matches the data we received. He must be the War God Liu Yun, and we are here to follow him."
Her silver eyes swept rapidly across the entire battlefield, her powerful Psychic Power allowing her to analyze all the intelligence here in an instant. However, her voice remained demure, indicating she was here to follow Liu Yun.
The words of these two actually reached Liu Yun's ears. His Psychic Power allowed him to perceive the finest details, which was precisely why he dared to come here to hunt monsters alone.
"Why would they send people like this? This place is repulsive, yet still incredibly dangerous. What kind of scheme is Glinda cooking up?"
Liu Yun watched the figures in the sky. Like meteors piercing the firmament, they landed on the ruins with an indescribable, elegant grace. Each time their feet touched the ground, it was accompanied by a faint boom that kicked up the accumulated dust and rubble, yet the debris was instantly smoothed away by an invisible force, leaving no mess behind.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. It was quite something that four people could land without parachutes. With the dust swirling, Liu Yun could barely see them clearly. Once they stepped out, he realized they were four foreigners, and all of them were young women.
Aside from the one who spoke first, the other two were mid-level War General martial artists. Clad in brightly colored, tight-fitting suits, they stepped forward, their brows furrowed.
"What is going on? These are all low-level War General monsters? This person's strength doesn't even seem to reach the level of a high-level War General!"
One of them held a Western rapier, while the other carried a Yingzhou straight sword. The fencer with the rapier frowned as she spoke.
They had quickly seen through Liu Yun's true strength. As it stood, Liu Yun was merely a War General, his movement techniques had only just been perfected, and his true power was being firmly suppressed by the Machine Race Clone that was supposed to be assisting him.
Liu Yun didn't care about the opinions of others; he only wanted to cultivate properly. So, even when questioned, he did not lift the seal on his body.
These four were all mid-level War Generals from the HR Alliance. It was said they had just graduated from a training academy with extremely strict requirements and had been sent to follow a mid-level War God.
If he were truly a powerful mid-level War God, they might have been able to endure it, but he looked like nothing more than a seasoned old veteran, completely unworthy of their loyalty.
The girl with silver eyes, the youngest and physically weakest of the group, was actually the strongest due to her awakened Psychic talent. She stepped forward with a skeptical look and asked, "Hello, my name is Ruby. Are you the War God Liu Yun? I think... at least you look a lot like him..."
Before Ruby could finish, she hid behind the blonde woman. The blonde woman was one meter seventy-seven tall, a War General-level martial artist, and very statuesque. She stood there motionless, seemingly too lazy to pay attention to Liu Yun.
In truth, this was just a matter of opening one's eyes to the world. Before Liu Yun transmigrated, he worked in foreign trade, and he often realized more profoundly that the domestic server was far more disgusting than the foreign ones.
"I do look quite like him. In the last Liu Yun impersonation contest, I regretfully took second place!"
Liu Yun fiddled with the Firebird, Little Red, that had descended from the sky, saying this with great interest. In fact, before he was injured, he quite liked striking poses, drinking, and sharing life experiences with others, which led people to start imitating him—to the point where someone even organized a competition with a five-million-dollar prize.
Mostly, he was worried about Little Red acting out. The Firebird was getting stronger by the day, and he feared that if it suddenly struck these people, it might actually kill them.
"Stop beating around the bush. Are you the War God Liu Yun? I cannot feel the power of a War God on you."
The blonde woman asked bluntly. It seemed that opening one's eyes to the world was somewhat difficult; that sort of thing was what they called a "comfort zone." If Liu Yun couldn't get used to it, he would be stuck on the domestic server for the rest of his life.
"If you can't feel it, then so be it! If I were you, I would see through Glinda's lie, turn around, and head back to the academy."
Liu Yun thought for a third of a second and happily reached his conclusion. He didn't need so-called teammates at all. After all, he was a War God-level individual; worrying about a few War Generals sent by Glinda would just be acting like a babysitter.
The four of them were stunned for a moment upon hearing this. They thought that leaving like this would be a bit foolish; regardless, they should confirm it with Glinda first.
A call was made, and even Glinda was stunned. How could such a thing happen? It must be a trick Liu Yun was using to return the goods. If she let Liu Yun get his way, the loss would be huge.
"Don't overthink it. You are to follow this person no matter what!"
Glinda left only that sentence before hanging up. She didn't have the time to keep managing this, and Liu Yun, having packed his things, was already preparing to leave with Little Red.
In the center of this city, a massive Iron Armored Dragon was still entrenched. It already possessed the strength of a high-level Lord. The "Tyrannosaurus Dragon Tooth" that Liu Yun needed referred to the teeth of the Iron Armored Dragon, so he had to go, no matter what.
