The sudden change and the unexpected words piqued Jiang Fan's curiosity.
What kind of mental preparation should I make?
Yan Tianyang didn't mince words any longer and said directly, "You displayed your great power in the Southern Wilderness Fortress, and so many people saw it. I can't keep quiet about it."
"They're all from your Divine Wind Camp. As the commander, isn't it all up to you to say a word?" Jiang Fan retorted.
You're right, but you've overlooked one point.
"What?"
"Spy."
This answer surprised Jiang Fan somewhat, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it made sense.
Throughout history, conflicts between nations have been rife with tactics such as infiltration and sowing discord, and even the extremely disciplined Divine Wind Camp was no exception.
Yan Tianyang could tell from Jiang Fan's expression that he understood this point.
"With so many soldiers in the Southern Wilderness Fortress, I can't guarantee there aren't any spies. In other words, I can't gamble that once news of your Great Psychic reaches the ears of various cults and hostile foreign forces, you will inevitably become their primary target for assassination. Therefore, it's better to make your affairs public, which will facilitate more comprehensive protection of you. On the contrary, keeping it a secret will only give them the opportunity to plan your assassination."
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Fan knows that continuing to hide it will only be detrimental to him.
"Alright, you can arrange it as you see fit."
"Okay, you can go now." After saying that, Yan Tianyang stopped looking at Jiang Fan and started working on his tasks.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan had no choice but to turn and leave, but he stopped again just as he was about to leave the tent and looked back at Yan Tianyang.
" Genius Camp, how can I not go? Regular training is really useless for me!"
Yan Tianyang looked up, "No."
"I--"
"If you don't go, who's going to train those geniuses?"
"Huh?" Jiang Fan blinked, took a few seconds to process, and tentatively asked, "You, you mean, you want me to be their instructor?"
"Nonsense! With your abilities, who could train you? Besides, there's something strange about you, but I won't ask."
Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yan Tianyang's words, but seeing that the other party really didn't intend to delve any deeper into his meaning, his heart slowly returned to his chest.
Of course, we should still be vigilant where necessary.
He couldn't let the system's secrets be revealed; he was afraid he'd be taken to the lab for dissection and analysis.
Although he didn't think Yan Tianyang was that kind of person, he couldn't guarantee that Yan Tianyang, as the highest decision-maker of Great Xia, wouldn't consider sacrificing him if Great Xia were forced into a corner. If he could develop millions of systems, he would definitely be in danger.
He walked out of the tent with his thoughts in mind, and then he saw the rising Chao Yang looking in his direction.
His eyes were so bright, like Pikachu unleashing a Thunderbolt attack, they almost blinded him.
Before he could even speak, Chao Yang came running over excitedly, his usually serious face beaming with a radiant smile.
"Why did Yan Shuai call you in?"
He felt an urge to slap himself in the face as soon as he asked the question.
"You see, I shouldn't have asked you. Yan Shuai's request for you is definitely confidential. How could I, a newcomer who just joined the Divine Wind Camp, be qualified to know!"
Jiang Fan scrutinized Chao Yang with a strange look in his eyes. He was quite familiar with this feeling, much like a quirky Little Turtle.
"Oh, you mean this isn't exactly a secret. With your talent, you've probably been recruited to the Divine Wind Camp for training too."
Upon hearing that it was about the Genius Camp, Chao Yang immediately replied, "Yes, I was indeed notified. You mean you want to join the Genius Camp too?"
"Mm." Jiang Fan nodded.
Upon receiving a definite answer, Chao Yang beamed with joy.
"Hahaha! That's great! Now we're comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps."
"Huh?" Chao Yang was taken aback, feeling that Jiang Fan's words sounded a little off.
Just as he was about to ask something else, Jiang Fan's phone rang.
It was a message sent to him by the Crazy Old Man.
Crazy Old Man: Come to the Jin Family.
I had heard about the Jin Family's affairs from the Crazy Old Man back in the Southern Wilderness Fortress.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Okay, okay, you're busy."
No sooner had Jiang Fan left than two middle-aged men dressed in the exclusive uniforms of the Divine Wind Guard approached Chao Yang.
The two men look about 30-40% alike, making it easy to guess at a glance that they are brothers.
"Dad, Second Uncle."
That's right, these two people are Chao Yang's father and second uncle.
Chao Mancang and Chao Mantian.
Chao Mancang withdrew his gaze from Jiang Fan's departing figure and focused it back on Chao Yang, his expression serious.
"Who is that kid?"
"You don't even know him?! His affairs have been making headlines lately, it's been all over the place, and you didn't even know?" Chao Yang was shocked.
"Nonsense, you know perfectly well that your second uncle and I were on a mission in the Outer Wilderness Zone for the past six months, and we just got back." Chao Mancang rolled his eyes.
Chao Yang slapped his forehead. "Oh, look at me, I completely forgot about that."
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me who that kid is? If he's some lowlife, I advise you not to associate with him too much, lest he corrupt you," Chao Mancang said.
Chao Mancang finished speaking, Chao Mantian immediately followed up with his own words.
"Your father is right. Our Chao Family has been the Divine Wind Guard for generations, and every member is an outstanding individual. As the leader of our Chao Family in this generation, you must set a good example and never associate with disreputable people."
"What do you mean by 'inappropriate'?! Dad, Second Uncle, keep your voices down!"
Chao Yang was quite frightened and subconsciously looked in the direction Jiang Fan had left, but thankfully he had already disappeared.
"It's not what you think. Listen to me, his name is Jiang Fan, and he is..."
He then gave a general account of what had happened to Jiang Fan recently, but of course, he dared not mention the matter of the Spirit Master for the time being.
After listening, Chao Mancang and Chao Mantian exchanged a glance, both reading disbelief in each other's eyes.
"From Fortress No. 31? Martial Arts Exam Champion? Late-Stage Fourth Rank? Or Beast Tamer?"
Is that really that amazing?
Chao Yang was unaware that Jiang Fan's strength had advanced again, but even so, it still greatly shocked the two of them.
"Not even 18 years old, and already Late-Stage Fourth Rank? Doesn't that make him even more of a genius than you?"
"Not only that, his Soul Threshold has absolutely no upper limit! That's the key point!"
"Hiss--" The two of them gasped in unison.
In just six months since he left, their Great Xia has produced such a peerless prodigy?
Seeing their reactions, Chao Yang secretly curled his lip, thinking that he hadn't yet revealed that Jiang Fan Great Psychic. If he had, their expressions would probably be even more interesting.
Just as Chao Yang was thinking this, the electronic screen standing in the center of the base camp suddenly lit up.
Nationwide announcement: Jiang Fan, a 17-year-old Great Psychic, has been kept in hiding to protect his growth.
Today, I officially reveal my identity, announce it to the world, and the whole nation celebrates. The Great Xia has gained another young pillar!
