Shock

At that moment, in Luofu District.

Inside a modest lodging building across from Jinghai University.

Zhao Lei had just ended his video call with Su Han and was still cursing under his breath.

"Fuck, he's just cannon fodder. What a fucking nuisance."

Zhao Lei and the others were still there, including their captain, Chen Yixi.

The bald man watched Zhao Lei's display and asked with a smile,

"What's wrong, Zhao Lei? That cannon fodder again?"

Zhao Lei tossed his phone onto the table, his face full of irritation.

"Who else? He's driving me up the wall."

"The kid only just became a menial disciple, and he's already got one damn problem after another."

"I only just gave him a mission, and he's calling again already. Who knows what he wants from me this time."

But before Zhao Lei could finish complaining, his phone rang again.

Another video call.

Su Han was calling again.

"Fuck, is this ever going to end?"

Zhao Lei cursed, but he answered the call anyway.

This time, however, he didn't curse. He simply asked, his eyes ice-cold,

"What the hell do you want? I'm telling you, if you bother me again..."

"The mission's complete."

That was all Su Han said from the other end of the phone, his voice cold.

Zhao Lei suddenly froze at those words, then laughed.

"Complete? Complete my ass. You think you can wipe out the Red Fist Sect just because you want to? You don't even think before you bullshit."

"You don't believe me?" Su Han said.

"Like hell I do. Get lost, and don't..."

Before Zhao Lei could finish, Su Han moved the camera.

On the phone screen.

The image shifted from Su Han's face to the Red Fist Sect's square, then gradually panned outward.

A river of blood filled the screen.

Xue Hongquan lay in a pool of blood, a gaping hole in his chest.

The two elders lay sprawled to one side, their eyes still open in death.

The Kong Family's White Grade enhanced human retainer's corpse was already cold, with only half of it remaining.

Besides them, the corpses of dozens of disciples lay outside the gate.

They were strewn in every direction, their flesh mangled.

Calling the scene a hell on earth would have been no exaggeration.

When Zhao Lei saw it, his voice cut off abruptly.

His eyes widened, and he looked as though he'd been struck by lightning.

His mouth was still open, but he was utterly dumbstruck.

The others in the room noticed the strange look on Zhao Lei's face and turned to his phone screen.

They might have been fine if they hadn't looked.

The moment they did, they were all dumbstruck.

"Holy shit!"

The bald man was stunned, and the curse burst out of his mouth.

The short-haired woman also drew a sharp breath, her face full of disbelief.

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces,

their captain, Chen Yixi, who sat to one side and was always aloof,

showed a flicker of curiosity on her usually cold face.

She walked over and leaned close to the phone screen, narrowing her eyes.

In the video, Su Han pointed the camera at the mass of corpses from the Red Fist Sect and spoke again.

"I've completed the mission you gave me."

"Can you tell me about the Sturgeon Group now? If not, information about my sister will do."

Only then did Zhao Lei finally come to his senses.

He asked in disbelief, his face full of shock,

"All these people... you killed them?"

"Yeah." Su Han nodded. "Not one left."

"How did you do it? Xue Hongquan was a Baodan..."

"I killed him with one punch," Su Han said calmly.

"Any other questions? If not, then the information about my sister..."

Zhao Lei took a deep breath before answering.

"All right, I understand. I'll contact you later."

With that, he hung up.

But the room had fallen deathly silent.

The group exchanged looks, none of them speaking first.

In the end, Chen Yixi was the first to speak, asking with some puzzlement,

"Who is this person? He wiped out the entire Red Fist Sect without a scratch. His combat power must be at least twenty thousand."

Zhao Lei swallowed and began telling the captain about Su Han.

He also explained how he had found Su Han, recruited him into the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult as a menial, and given him the mission.

By the time he finished, even Zhao Lei found it unbelievable.

"No, Captain, something's not right!"

"I checked his records. Su Han was originally just an ordinary university student."

"Later, he started learning Secret Martial Arts, but he should have been at the An Jin level at most. How could he possibly..."

Zhao Lei wasn't the only one shocked. His companions were too.

They had assumed Su Han was just cannon fodder and would surely die on his mission to the Red Fist Sect.

But contrary to their expectations, he had wiped out the entire Red Fist Sect single-handedly.

Even its sect master, Xue Hongquan, a Baodan Realm powerhouse,

had been killed by Su Han.

With strength like that, his combat power had to be at least twenty thousand.

And the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's outer disciples had combat power of only around twenty thousand at most.

At Su Han's current level of strength, he was already on par with them, apart from the captain.

"Something really isn't right," the short-haired woman said, analyzing the matter in confusion.

"It's strange. From the video, he doesn't look like an enhanced human or a cyborg."

"Enhanced humans have deformed muscles, and their blood changes color."

"Cyborgs are even more obvious. Most of their bodies have been mechanically modified. You can recognize them at a glance."

"This Su Han is neither."

"And with Secret Martial Arts, it's very difficult to exceed twenty thousand in combat power."

The others were just as puzzled.

They truly couldn't understand it. Su Han had originally been an ordinary civilian.

He was neither a cyborg nor an enhanced human, and it was impossible to reach that level of combat power with Secret Martial Arts.

So how had he gained such terrifying strength?

A rare hint of amusement appeared on Captain Chen Yixi's cool face.

"Interesting."

"I'm reporting this to Senior Brother Kong."

Senior Brother Kong's real name was Kong Fuxian.

He was one of the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's twelve true disciples stationed in the outer city, and he was at the Blood Pillar Realm.

His combat power was unfathomable, and he was the squad's direct superior.

Chen Yixi's decision to report the matter showed how much importance she placed on Su Han.

She took out a special communicator, left the room, and contacted Senior Brother Kong.

Only after a while did she finally return.

As soon as the captain returned, Zhao Lei hurriedly asked,

"Captain, what did Senior Brother Kong say?"

Chen Yixi glanced at him, then began relaying Senior Brother Kong's orders.

"Senior Brother Kong has given his orders.

"First, give Su Han the information about his sister.

"Second, formally promote him to an outer disciple and assign him to our squad.

"Third... keep a close eye on him."

At that moment, Su Han had already left the Red Fist Sect.

By the time he came down the mountain, the sky had gone completely dark.

Su Han hailed a car, intending to return to Luofu District.

He waited in the car for a while.

Only then did Zhao Lei finally send him the information.

"Your status has been raised to that of an outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult. You have been assigned to the Sixth Squad, under Captain Chen Yixi."

"The following is information about your sister."

A location followed.

[Jinghai City, East City District, Ankang Road, Benevolence Private Hospital, inpatient department, third floor, room 307.]

Benevolence Private Hospital?

It was no longer in Luofu District, but fortunately it was still within Jinghai City.

Was his sister there now?
