The Two Flying Saucers Were Fast

One flying saucer was azure, while the other was entirely black. They stood out conspicuously.

They quickly arrived above the crowd and slowly descended.

For most of the examinees, this was the first time in their lives they had seen a flying saucer, let alone two appearing at once.

The soldiers nearby were all on high alert, gripping their gun stocks tightly. The tense, murderous atmosphere affected everyone.

Even without knowing what was going on, they all had a vague feeling that something major was about to happen.

"Could they have come looking for me? What are War God Lu and Sister Mei planning?"

His eyesight was astonishingly sharp. Sure enough, before long he spotted a character, "华," on the surface of the azure flying saucer.

So it really was them!

Wang Heng and Iron Monkey, Officer Iron, were the highest-ranking people present.

They had also identified the origins of the two flying saucers from various details.

As both saucers landed, the two men went to greet them.

Officer Iron approached the black saucer and bowed slightly. "Which friend from the Limit Dojo is this?

"Why have you suddenly landed here and disrupted the official combat assessment?"

"Hahahaha, you're making too much of it, Officer Iron. The Limit Dojo has always obeyed the law. Why would we do something like that?"

The saucer's hatch opened, and a sturdy, middle-aged man dressed in a short martial arts outfit stepped out.

Officer Iron's expression changed dramatically. He blurted out, "Inspector Liu! Why is it you!?"

"Haha, one of my subordinates told me that there was an exceptional talent among today's examinees. He said I'd have a chance to poach him only if I came in person, so I decided to have a look."

At his words, the several thousand people present burst into an uproar!

Inspector Liu! Who was he?!

He was the number one man in the Limit Dojo across the entire Jiangnan Base City!

He had always been in City 003, seeking out Lord Monsters to hone his spear skills.

According to rumors, he was devoted to cultivation, and the world's strongest man, Hong, had publicly called him the person most likely to break through to "Beyond War God"!

What kind of important figure was he?!

And now an examinee had actually drawn him here!

Who was this person?! Who on earth was it?!

Many people instinctively looked toward Luo Feng, but then realized it couldn't be him.

Luo Feng had already been recruited into the Limit Dojo ahead of time, a fact many people had heard.

Why would Inspector Liu talk about "poaching" him?

What kind of person would he need to poach?

To earn his attention would be something people would gladly risk their lives for!

Luo Feng's heart pounded at those words. The scale of this visit—and the background behind it—was simply too impressive!

Could it be...?

He and Yang Wu thought of the same thing and turned to look at Bai Yang at the same time.

Bai Yang was also rather taken aback.

Inspector Liu, Luo Feng's "predecessor," had barely featured in the original story. He hadn't expected the man to make such a huge commotion.

More and more people followed Luo Feng's gaze and looked toward Bai Yang.

Quite a few had secretly taken out their phones and begun taking pictures of him.

Just then, the other azure flying saucer landed smoothly as well.

As someone from the Thunder Dojo, Wang Heng naturally couldn't go and greet the Limit Dojo, so he had chosen this saucer instead.

With a series of mechanical sounds, the hatch gradually opened.

Three figures walked out at an unhurried pace. They paused briefly at the hatch, then headed toward Bai Yang.

"Oh my god! It's my savior!"

"Elder Jia! It's really Elder Jia!"

"I can die without regrets now that I've seen him in person!"

"Dad! Grandpa! Guess who I just saw!"

Quite a few people burst into tears on the spot. If the soldiers around them hadn't held them back,

dozens of people would already have rushed toward the three, fallen to their knees, and kowtowed in gratitude.

The older the examinees were, the more intense their reactions.

Many of the younger people had reddened eyes too, though they were still able to hold themselves back.

Seeing where they were headed, Bai Yang was now certain they had come for him.

The three were Lu Ting, Mei Xiaqing, and, walking at the front while carefully supported by the other two,

none other than Jia Yi!

Jia Yi!

A name with a magical quality!

He was a Planetary Level fighter, second rank, stronger than a War God!

Bai Yang also knew that he ranked among the top five Planetary Level fighters on Earth!

He was one of the five heroes in the original story who sacrificed himself to strengthen Luo Feng and perished alongside the Golden Horned Behemoth for the sake of Earth!

Without a doubt, he was the strongest fighter in Huaxia!

He had been frail and sickly since childhood, and had not developed properly, so he was small and thin.

But during the Great Nirvana Period, he had performed one legendary rescue after another. He had saved more than ten million Huaxia citizens as they fled!

Born into a family of soldiers, he had become the military's first Beyond War God, despite the fact that martial artist cultivation had yet to become systematic.

He had contributed even more during the establishment of the Base Cities.

There were over a thousand Quasi-Martial Artists present, and it was only natural that quite a few of them had benefited from his kindness.

He was also the founder of Mount Hua!

Inspector Liu clearly hadn't expected Jia Yi to come in person.

He immediately went over and greeted him with the respect due to a junior.

"I never thought it would be you, Elder Jia. If I'd known, how would I have dared race you here?" Inspector Liu bowed in apology, his manner utterly sincere.

Jia Yi's voice was warm as he chuckled. "Xiao Liu, there's no need to be so polite. Coming here was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I was originally only planning to visit the old battlefield in Magic City and pay tribute to my former comrades.

"But my disciple insisted that I come take a look, so I ended up here."

Lu Ting stood to one side, wearing a polite smile that was just a little awkward.

It was hard to tell whether Inspector Liu believed him, but he hurriedly exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Then, almost unconsciously, he fell a step behind them and followed as they walked toward Bai Yang.

Seeing this, everyone around them drew a sharp breath.

For all his politeness, Inspector Liu still hadn't given up!?

Who on earth was worth all this fuss?

Facing someone of Jia Yi's stature, Bai Yang couldn't just stand there.

Even if they weren't actually looking for him and his mistaken assumption ended up embarrassing him, he didn't mind.

He jogged toward the three and stopped a few steps away.

Jia Yi was short. He looked Bai Yang up and down carefully, then nodded repeatedly. "No wonder Lao Liu praised you so highly. You really are extraordinary."

Bai Yang paused, then realized he meant Lu Ting!

He fought back a laugh and hurriedly said, "Elder Jia, you flatter me."

Jia Yi chuckled and extended his right hand.

Bai Yang hurried forward and shook it with both hands, then let go.

Jia Yi seemed quite pleased. He suddenly asked, "When did you become an Advanced War General?"

"Just in the last couple of days," Bai Yang replied directly.

It was only natural that Jia Yi had seen through him.

Everyone except Wang Heng and Officer Iron was stunned by his answer.

An Advanced War General who had just passed the combat assessment!?

Damn it! You can't just make the rest of us look this bad!

For a moment, who knew how many people cursed inwardly.

"Things are going to slow down from here on."

"Yeah, I've been worried about that too."

"That's all right. There's always a way."

"You're right."
