Lin Baitian was highly efficient. He immediately began arranging for someone to pick up Su Zhan's parents.
Just then, he received another call.
It was from his father, Lin Fanlong.
He told him to come to the conference room.
When Lin Baitian stepped into the conference room, he found that not only was his father, Lin Fanlong, there—
Half of the Lin family's upper echelon had actually gathered together, seated around the conference room!
In an instant.
All eyes converged on Lin Baitian, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He hadn't done anything wrong lately, had he?
And judging by the looks in the eyes of these uncles, elders, guest experts, and high-ranking members, every one of them was unusually fervent, with a hint of excitement... Could there be some excellent news?
"Has everything regarding Su Zhan been arranged?"
Lin Fanlong spoke, breaking the silence.
"It's settled. They've already set out." Lin Baitian dropped into a chair and said casually, "For such a small matter, wasn't it just a phone call?"
"You need to change that attitude of yours."
Lin Fanlong fixed Lin Baitian with a deep gaze. "From now on, anything related to Su Zhan is no longer a small matter. It is the Lin family's foremost priority!"
"Hm?"
Lin Baitian sensed that something was off. He straightened up, a trace of probing excitement in his eyes. "What happened to Su Zhan? Did he break through to Martial Artist?"
"No, he hasn't broken through yet."
"But it's even more frightening than breaking through to Martial Artist."
A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Fanlong's eyes. "Just now, Elder Feng reported that Su Zhan, at the Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist realm, withstood a sneak attack from a Beginner Martial Artist!"
"Not only that, he severely wounded that Beginner Martial Artist with a single slash, chopping off half his body... According to Elder Feng's description, that slash was fiercer than the attacks of an ordinary Beginner Martial Artist!"
"Holy shit?!"
"Slaying someone above his level?!"
Lin Baitian finally realized what had happened and cried out in shock, "Su Zhan has the strength to fight above his level?!"
"What kind of joke is this?!"
Lin Baitian's face was filled with disbelief.
Especially that last sentence—it fully conveyed the utter incredulity in his heart.
Fighting above one's level was not some unfamiliar term to him.
Among the Four Great, many monstrous, freakishly gifted geniuses could achieve it... Forget crossing one realm; there were even those who could cross two or three realms!
Yet it was the very last thing that should have appeared in Su Zhan!
Why?
How long had it been since Su Zhan became an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?
Two days?
Three days?
In such a short span of time, ordinary people would not even have had time to stabilize their realm.
Yet he already possessed the strength to fight above his level!
And that was not even the most outrageous part.
Su Zhan had not merely fought above his level—he had slain someone above his level... His strength had already become so formidable that he could kill a Beginner Martial Artist. How was that merely outrageous?
It was complete bullshit!
"Slaying someone above his level is one thing."
A Lin family high-ranking member spoke excitedly. "Don't forget, he first used his physical body to withstand that Beginner Martial Artist's strike, then launched his counterkill."
"That means he not only surpassed Beginner Martial Artists in strength, but also far outstripped ordinary Beginner Martial Artists in defense!"
Lin Baitian could not help drawing a deep breath.
That was right.
Defense was often even harder to cultivate than strength.
Because it required constant tempering of the sinews and bones, forging the body through hardship, pouring in countless amounts of time, energy, resources, and effort—and even enduring all kinds of pain.
Yet Su Zhan had crossed those stages as if at light speed.
In both strength and defense, he had reached a level comparable to, or even surpassing, Beginner Martial Artists!
"Based on my judgment."
Lin Fanlong spoke in a grave tone. "Su Zhan has brought at least two cultivation techniques to Minor Accomplishment!"
All the Lin family's high-ranking members nodded silently, in complete agreement.
Two cultivation techniques at Minor Accomplishment.
That might not sound like much.
But do not forget—how old was Su Zhan this year? How long had he been an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?
That point alone was enough to prove that Su Zhan's Talent Aptitude and comprehension were beyond imagination... He was an absolute great talent!
