A shaft of warm sunlight streamed through the window, falling on a handsome, languid face.
Shen Fei slowly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.
Then he got dressed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and ate breakfast.
After tidying everything up,
Shen Fei turned on the television.
He picked up the remote and switched to the Imperial Capital channel.
The morning news was on.
"Imperial Capital Morning News: Yesterday, a tourist visiting Cloud Summit Mountain unexpectedly spotted and photographed an ape. According to a statement from the Imperial Capital's Qingshan Zoo, this was one of the two animals that escaped from the zoo. The relevant authorities have now begun addressing the situation at Cloud Summit Mountain..."
Shen Fei drank chilled sparkling water as he finished watching the Imperial Capital Morning News.
Two animals?
Shen Fei recalled the video from Qingshan Zoo he had watched yesterday.
They had said that the tiger Shen Fei killed yesterday was one of the two animals that escaped from Qingshan Zoo.
So that was it.
Since that tiger could become a first-tier transcendent creature,
what about the other one, the ape? Could it be a transcendent creature too?
That was very likely.
Looks like I need to make a trip to Cloud Summit Mountain.
Shen Fei stood up and put on his red battle armor.
Then he used the Body Flicker Technique to race toward Cloud Summit Mountain.
The Imperial Capital.
The Transcendent Administration Bureau.
By then, quite a few people in the Transcendent Administration Bureau had already heard the news.
They all knew that the director had sent someone to invite the young prodigy with a Dual Esper Ability.
From the looks of things, he was bound to join the Transcendent Administration Bureau!
So quite a few people were actually somewhat jealous, but none dared say it aloud.
At the same time, they were also a little unconvinced.
Inside the Extraordinary Cage.
A muscular, shirtless man was sitting in meditation, resting and replenishing his spiritual energy.
Just moments earlier, he had fought a fierce battle and beaten a transcendent creature at Mortal Entry tier three, level eight to death with his fists inside the Extraordinary Cage.
The Extraordinary Cage was a cage for confining Transcendent Beasts. At the Transcendent Administration Bureau, all Transcendent Beasts captured outside had to be placed inside it for use in trials.
At that moment,
someone walked in.
"Brother Liu, the director sent Sister Dong to recruit Shen Fei."
Liu Yiming opened his eyes, glanced at the man, and said, "The one with two abilities?"
"Yes, him. I think that once he joins, there might be a chance he'll challenge your position in the Transcendent Administration Bureau..." Liu Yiming's underling, Zhang San, said with a smile.
He seemed wary of Shen Fei.
Liu Yiming, however, did not care at all.
"No matter. I'm at Mortal Entry Stage Three Level Nine, just one step away from Mortal Entry Stage Four. However talented that kid is, he's only at Mortal Entry Stage Two at most—Mortal Entry Stage Three at the very most. But so what? One punch from me will put him down for good!"
"When the time comes, I'll put him firmly in his place and make him understand that he isn't the only genius in the Transcendent Administration Bureau!"
Zhang San nodded, then left.
Liu Yiming stared coldly at the fierce beast confined in the Extraordinary Cage opposite him. It was at Mortal Entry Stage Four Level Three.
He snorted coldly.
"Give me a little more time, and I'll come in there and slaughter you!"
Liu Yiming did not notice the strange smile curling at the corners of Zhang San's mouth just after he left the Extraordinary Cage.
Inside an office.
A young man sat with his legs crossed, a cigarette between his lips as he puffed out smoke.
"Director Yun, is that kid really worth all this attention?" the young man, Zhao Tian, asked.
Yun Yongfeng nodded. "The Space Ability is too important. We may have to rely on him for assassination operations in the future. He needs to be used as our trump card."
The young man objected, "Honestly, I think that his Space Ability is pretty useless. He can't even teleport long distances. Besides, although Spiritual Energy Revival has occurred, this is still an age of technology. Rely on him to kill those important targets? Tsk, tsk. He still won't be able to do it."
"You don't need to concern yourself with that. How is the matter I assigned you earlier coming along?"
Yun Yongfeng's expression turned grave.
Zhao Tian dropped his flippant manner as well.
"We've found the Heavenly God Cult. They're in the Blue Mountain Villa District on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. But they're very cautious, and their leader is powerful. Unless we use wide-area destructive modern weaponry, I'm afraid it'll be hard to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"The biggest problem is that quite a few people still live there... so we can't use wide-area destructive modern weaponry."
The Heavenly God Cult was an evil cult made up of a large gathering of people who had awakened abilities.
They frequently wreaked havoc and disrupted the peace within Great Xia.
But they were powerful and very good at concealing themselves, making them difficult to investigate.
Because of the special nature of Zhao Tian's ability, he had been assigned to investigate this matter.
Unexpectedly, he had actually found something now.
Yun Yongfeng said, "All right. Thank you for your hard work, but I'll need you to keep at it for a few more days. Continue watching them. It'll take a few days for Lin Qiye to return."
Lin Qiye!
Zhao Tian was stunned.
Lin Qiye was the strongest person currently still willing to remain at the Transcendent Administration Bureau's headquarters!
His strength had already reached the peak of Mortal Entry Stage Six Level Nine!
If he returned after completing his other mission, the Heavenly God Cult would probably be done for.
