Jiangnan Extreme General Pavilion.

"What did you say?!"

Zhuge Tao stood up with a sudden jerk, staring wide-eyed at Xiao Qi sitting across from him.

He simply could not believe what he had just heard.

Hunting thousands of monsters, among which were many high-level Beast Generals.

He had even single-handedly slaughtered a low-level Lord-level monster, a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, without sustaining a single scratch himself.

Was this something a person who had only completed the martial artist examination half a month ago could achieve? And he was only an eighteen-year-old youth at that.

"The facts are indeed as stated."

Xiao Qi nodded.

If someone had told him this, his first reaction would also have been disbelief.

But he had participated in the entire process, and the pelt of that Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was in his backpack at this very moment.

"This is the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf pelt that War God Li Qingxu had us skin."

Xiao Qi pulled the specialized backpack from his feet onto the table, opened it, and dumped the blood-stained wolf pelt out.

Seeing this, Zhuge Tao hurriedly reached out and lifted the pelt.

Although it was still stained with some beast blood, the fur was entirely silver-white.

A typical intermediate-level Beast General Silver Moon Fierce Wolf only had a small tuft of silver-white hair on the top of its head.

Only after becoming a Lord-level monster would the entire coat of a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf turn silver-white.

Now, everything was beyond doubt.

What Xiao Qi said was indeed true, because given the strength of their Eagle Predator Squad, it was completely impossible for them to hunt a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf comparable to an intermediate-level Lord.

He actually possesses such formidable strength.

Zhuge Tao sighed inwardly.

He still remembered their last meeting, when Li Qingxu said he was heading to the Wilderness Zone alone and mentioned that his strength was no longer at the Warrior level.

At the time, he had even tested him, and Li Qingxu's punch force had reached 13,000 kg.

Back then, he had guessed that Li Qingxu likely possessed the strength of an intermediate-level War General.

But it had only been a short two weeks since then; could two weeks really allow a person to break through from an intermediate-level War General to a War God level powerhouse?

Consider himself, one of the four great supervisors of the Extreme Pavilion, stuck at the high-level War General stage for over a decade without a breakthrough.

Yet here, from completing the martial artist examination to becoming a War God level powerhouse, it had only taken this person three weeks.

Heavens, the gap between people was simply too vast.

"Right, where is he? Is he still in the Wilderness Zone hunting monsters?"

Zhuge Tao snapped back to reality and asked.

"That is exactly what I was about to tell you, Supervisor. While we were collecting the spoils, someone fired a cold shot at us from the shadows. War God Li Qingxu pursued them alone and ordered our squad to retreat first."

"What! You... why didn't you say something like this sooner!"

Zhuge Tao's expression changed instantly.

Those who fired cold shots in the Wilderness Zone were all ruthless and vicious characters. How could he have pursued them alone?

"I will settle this account with you later."

Zhuge Tao hurriedly pulled out his phone, looked at the first name on his contact list, and dialed immediately.

Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, he blurted out rapidly.

"Hello, Inspector Liu, this is Zhuge Tao. Please contact the high-level headquarters immediately and send people to rescue Li Qingxu."

"Hmm? What is going on?" The voice of Inspector Liu on the other end of the line sounded puzzled.

"Inspector, we can discuss the details later. Please report to headquarters that Li Qingxu has broken through to become a War God, was fired upon by a cold shot in the Wilderness Zone, and has pursued the attacker alone."

Zhuge Tao said anxiously.

"Bastards!"

A roar of fury came through the phone instantly, followed by the question: "Where is his location?"

"City 026."

Zhuge Tao said quickly.

"Good! I am heading there immediately."

"You are going yourself? But what if there is some unexpected situation over there..."

"Do I need you to teach me? While you were talking to me, I already sent the message to the Dojo Master. Anyone who kills a member of my Limit Dojo from the shadows must die!"

The voice filled with killing intent fell, and the call was disconnected.

"Supervisor, what should we do?"

"Just wait. Even if we go, we won't be able to help much."

Zhuge Tao could only hope that the squad of martial artists lurking in the shadows and firing cold shots was not as strong as Li Qingxu.

Otherwise, if something truly were to happen, he, as the director, would be unable to escape the blame.

One minute later, a Butterfly Fighter Jet suddenly took off from the tarmac of the Limit General Dojo in Jiangnan Base City.

The fighter jet accelerated several times, the resulting sonic boom echoing across the sky.

At the same time, many people within the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City heard the sonic boom, yet they had no idea what had happened.

Only those who were martial artists understood that it was the sound produced when a human powerhouse exceeded the speed of sound.

To be able to create a sonic boom within the base city, something truly extraordinary must have occurred.

At the same time.

In Hongning Base City, at the headquarters of the Limit Dojo, inside a massive, ten-thousand-meter-long, spaceship-like structure.

In a quiet room, a black-haired man sat cross-legged in meditation.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from within his body, only to vanish in a flash.

It caused the entire Limit Dojo headquarters to tremble violently.

And this person was none other than the world's number one powerhouse, the founder of the Limit Dojo, Hong.

"Assassinating a genius of my Limit Dojo... it seems that because I haven't taken action in a long time, some people have forgotten."

The echoes of his voice still lingered in the quiet room, but Hong's figure had already vanished.

The shaking of the headquarters caused many martial artists to frown, but when some looked outside, they discovered an incredible sight.

A blood-red triangular fighter jet flashed across the sky above the headquarters and disappeared into the horizon.

"That is...?!"

Expressions of astonishment appeared in their eyes one after another.

Wasn't that the Dojo Master's fighter jet? Why had it suddenly departed?

City 026.

On the rooftop of a twenty-three-story building, Li Qingxu remained immersed in his cultivation.

At this moment, he was still unaware that following Xiao Qi's report on his situation, even Hong had been stirred into action.

As the speed at which he absorbed cosmic energy increased, his physical shell seemed to be undergoing a baptism.

Cosmic energy nourished every inch of his body, enhancing his constitution.

Because his constitution had improved once more, golden rays shimmered within his flesh and blood; he encountered little resistance while opening his Bitter Sea.

More than three hours later, Li Qingxu, sitting cross-legged, seemed to have become even more ethereal.

His body was transforming, his constitution was rising, and his physical shell shimmered with divine radiance, unimpeded in the process of opening his Bitter Sea.

A night breeze blew past, and his entire temperament underwent a great change, as if he were shrouded in clouds and mist.

His shoulder-length hair danced, making him look like a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world to cultivate in silence.

The golden Bitter Sea had undergone an earth-shattering change; waves surged to the heavens, divine rays shone, and thunder roared.

Compared to before, it had grown by more than double, nearly the size of a palm.

In the center of the Bitter Sea, the Life Spring gushed, and the source of divine power boiled.

The spring eye at the bottom of the sea had widened significantly, flowing endlessly and surging forth, occasionally erupting with a streak of divine light.
