Two flying saucers—one azure blue, the other pitch-black—were extremely conspicuous.

They quickly arrived above the crowd and slowly descended.

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

The surrounding soldiers were all on high alert, gripping their gun handles tightly, influenced by the oppressive atmosphere.

Even without knowing what was happening, everyone vaguely sensed that something major was about to occur.

"It's not coming for me, is it? What do War God Lu and Sister Mei want?"

His eyesight was astonishing, and sure enough, before long he spotted the character "Hua" on the surface of the azure flying saucer.

It really was them!

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

They too had recognized the origins of the two flying saucers from various details.

As the two saucers landed simultaneously, each went to greet one.

Officer Iron arrived beneath the pitch-black saucer, slightly bowing: "Which friend from the Limit Dojo is this? Why have you suddenly descended here, interfering with the official combat assessment?"

"Haha, Officer Iron, you're being too serious. Our Limit Dojo has always abided by the law—how could we do such a thing?"

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

Officer Iron's expression changed abruptly, and he blurted out: "Inspector Liu! Why is it you!?"

"Haha, I heard from a subordinate supervisor that there's a rare talent among today's examinees. They said I'd need to show up in person to have any hope of poaching him, so I came to take a look."

At these words, the thousands of people on site erupted into an uproar!

Inspector Liu! Who was he?!

He was the top figure of the Limit Dojo in the entire Jiangnan Base City!

He had always been in City 003, hunting lord monsters to hone his spear skills.

Rumor had it that this man was obsessed with cultivation and had been publicly praised by the world's number one powerhouse, "Hong," as the one most likely to break through to "above War God"!

What kind of great figure was this!?

And now he had been stirred into action by an examinee!

Who was this person?! Who exactly was this person!?

Many people involuntarily looked toward Luo Feng, but then realized it wasn't him.

Because Luo Feng had already been recruited early into the Limit Dojo—this was something many had heard about.

Why would Inspector Liu talk about "poaching"?

What kind of person would need him to poach?

To be worthy of his high regard was something many would give their all for!

Luo Feng's heart was also pounding at these words—the scale and background were simply too grand!

Could it be?

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

At this moment, Bai Yang was also quite shocked.

Inspector Liu, this "predecessor" of Luo Feng's, had almost no presence in the original story, yet he had caused such a stir.

Many people began to follow Luo Feng's gaze and look at him.

Quite a few had already secretly pulled out their phones and started filming him.

Just then, the other azure flying saucer also landed smoothly.

Wang Heng, being a member of the Thunder Dojo, naturally found it inconvenient to greet the Limit Dojo, so he chose this one.

With a series of mechanical transmission sounds, the hatch slowly opened.

Three figures walked out unhurriedly, paused briefly at the hatch, and then headed straight for Bai Yang.

"Heavens! It's our benefactor!"

"Elder Jia! It's actually Elder Jia!"

"To see him with my own eyes, I can die without regrets!"

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

Many people even burst into loud sobs on the spot. If not for the soldiers holding them back, dozens would have already rushed toward these three, kneeling to kowtow in gratitude.

The older the examinee, the more intense the reaction.

Many young people also had red eyes, but they could still restrain themselves.

Bai Yang watched their direction of approach and was now certain—they were definitely coming for him.

These three were Lu Ting and Mei Xiaqing, while the one standing at the front, carefully supported by the other two—

Was none other than Jia Yi!

Jia Yi!

A name with magic!

He was a being above the War God level, a Planetary-level second stage!

Bai Yang knew he was ranked among the top five Planetary-level fighters on Earth!

He was also one of the five heroes from the original story who, for the sake of Earth, voluntarily sacrificed themselves to strengthen Luo Feng and perish together with the Golden Horned Behemoth!

He was unquestionably the number one combat power of Huaxia!

Because he had been frail and sickly since childhood, with stunted development, his body was small and thin.

Yet during the Great Nirvana period, it was he who time and again performed legendary acts of great salvation, rescuing over ten million fleeing Huaxia citizens!

Born into a military family, when martial artist training had yet to form a system, he stubbornly became the military's first 'existence beyond the War God.'

During the era of establishing the base cities, his contributions were even greater.

There were over a thousand prospective martial artists present, and many of them had received his kindness—that was perfectly normal.

He was also the founder of [Mount Hua]!

Inspector Liu clearly hadn't expected that it would be him coming in person.

He immediately stepped forward, voluntarily performing the etiquette of a junior, greeting Jia Yi.

"I never thought it would be you, Elder Jia. If I'd known it was you, how would I dare race you here?" Inspector Liu bowed in apology, his attitude very sincere.

Jia Yi's voice was gentle, and he chuckled, "Little Liu, you don't need to be so polite. I only came on a whim; I originally just wanted to visit the old battlefield in Magic City, to commemorate my former comrades.

But I couldn't resist this disciple of mine, who insisted I come take a look, and that's how we ran into each other."

Lu Ting stood to the side, his face displaying a polite yet awkward smile at just the right moment.

Inspector Liu didn't seem to know whether to believe it or not, but he quickly exchanged a few more polite words.

Then, without meaning to, he fell half a step behind, following behind them as they walked toward Bai Yang.

Seeing this scene, the people around them gasped inwardly.

Polite as he was, Inspector Liu hadn't given up!?

Just who was it that warranted such a big commotion?

Faced with this figure, Bai Yang couldn't just stand still.

Even if they weren't looking for him at all, and he embarrassed himself by misunderstanding, it didn't matter.

He jogged over toward the three, stopping only when he was a few steps away.

Jia Yi was short in stature. He looked up and carefully scrutinized Bai Yang from head to toe, then nodded repeatedly. "No wonder Old Six praised you so much. You really are out of the ordinary."

Bai Yang was momentarily stunned, then realized he was talking about Lu Ting!

Suppressing a laugh, he quickly said, "Elder Jia, you flatter me."

Jia Yi chuckled, then actively extended his right hand.

Bai Yang quickly stepped forward, clasped it with both hands, then let go.

Jia Yi seemed very satisfied and suddenly asked, "When did you become a high-level warlord?"

"Just a couple of days ago," Bai Yang answered directly.

For Jia Yi to see through it was perfectly normal.

As soon as these words were spoken, aside from Wang Heng and Officer Iron, everyone else was shocked.

A high-level warlord who had just passed the practical assessment!?

Goddammit! That was just too much!

For a moment, countless people were cursing in their hearts.

"It'll be slow going from here on out."

"Yeah, I'm a bit troubled by that too."

"It doesn't matter. There's always a way."

"You're right."
