CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 23: COLLECT SOME INTEREST FIRST

"How is this possible?"

On the tattered and violently swaying ship, An Zaiqing, who had been waiting for Takamaki Qingji’s orders, was a bit dazed. He was also a Transcendent and had seen some things, but the scene before him still made it hard to believe.

His physique far exceeded that of ordinary people, quickly cutting the rope of the lifeboat with a military knife and barely getting into it.

In these waves, his figure was still hard to stabilize.

"An Zaiqing, shoot him, kill him!"

Suddenly, a voice came to An Zaiqing’s ears.

It was Takamaki Qingji’s voice.

"Me?" An Zaiqing was dumbfounded.

Honestly speaking, he couldn’t even imagine the scene of defeating that monster.

"This is an order, shoot." Takamaki Qingji’s voice transmitted again.

In an instant, An Zaiqing’s eyes became confused, his mind only swirling around the single command to open fire.

He ultimately couldn’t escape Takamaki Qingji’s trap, a result of his usage of the [Enchanting Heart] superpower, embedding a thought brand in his spirit.

An Zaiqing took out his specially made sniper rifle and aimed at Lin Qianxuan.

Simultaneously, a light bloomed in his hand, imbuing the gun.

With a "whoosh," the bullet was fired, flying straight toward Lin Qianxuan.

This bullet, in terms of large-scale destructive power, perhaps couldn’t match missiles or such.

But speaking of penetration and stealth, it was definitely exaggerated enough.

An Zaiqing’s ability called [Vector Enhancement] could temporarily enhance the vector of a moving object.

This ability had many restrictions.

Such as range, duration, low upper limit, high consumption, instability, and so on.

But even so, relying on this ability, An Zaiqing could still easily exert a B Level individual attack, and with the special sniper rifle he used, he could easily achieve a B+ Level individual explosion.

Of course, the reason he was recruited by Takamaki Qingji wasn’t because of combat power.

It was because Takamaki Qingji thought his ability was suitable for scientific research.

The bullet’s flying speed was very fast, and Lin Qianxuan sensed it through the spirit spreading around him at the first moment.

The bullet fell onto the water curtain Lin Qianxuan constructed, and its kinetic energy should have been weakened, but Lin Qianxuan found that it merely broke through the water curtain in an instant.

Then....

Lin Qianxuan extended his claw and easily caught it in his forepaw.

The individual penetrative power was strong, the operating trajectory was somewhat hard to grasp, even generating kinetic energy out of thin air.

Very peculiar, but this was the power of the Transcendent.

Lin Qianxuan glanced at An Zaiqing not far away, his thoughts stirred, and hundreds of Water Bullets shot out, easily blowing him to bits.

Unlike in the game where he spared him for a question, this time Lin Qianxuan killed him on the spot.

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan looked at the warships gradually sinking into the sea and the people floating among them, his thoughts stirred again, and another wave swept over, burying everything.

After doing all this, he looked in the direction of Xugu City, his eyes carrying a trace of coldness.

"Long’Er, sit tight." Lin Qianxuan said to Chen Long’Er.

"Mm." Chen Long’Er nodded, gripping the Dragon Horn tightly.

In the next moment, Lin Qianxuan swung his dragon tail, and the surrounding moisture turned into clouds swirling around him; his figure shot out like lightning, breaking the sound barrier in an instant.

Even this was far from the limit; he could go faster, as a dragon should ride winds and clouds.

However, considering that Chen Long’Er was still on him, he restrained himself somewhat.

...

At the top of Hengqu Building.

Takamaki Qingji watched the final broadcasted image; his expression turned a bit grave.

"He’s also a True Dragon!"

Takamaki Qingji narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to understand why this was happening.

Could it be affected by rules of another world, accumulating an extra Dragon Soul?

No matter which one, it didn’t matter now.

Takamaki Qingji already discovered through the drone the opponent’s direction, moving towards Hengqu Building.

With Lin Qianxuan’s speed, there was no escape for him.

So, it could only be king against king.

What a misstep, clearly, there was no need to come to this place, so why did he personally take action?

Takamaki Qingji’s expression turned slightly somber.

Chen Long’Er was too important to their future plans, and being overly confident, he sought to make an impression, leading himself into danger at this moment.

Judging by Lin Qianxuan’s performance, he undoubtedly possessed [A Level] strength.

Perhaps, granted a bonus due to being in the sea, but even out of the sea, he definitely held [A-] grade combat power.

The existence of such strength was already beyond what conventional human weapons could contain.

Especially since the other party was a True Dragon.

Such an existence grew rapidly and, moreover, had almost no weaknesses.

If there was a weakness, it would be that True Dragons often were exceedingly proud.

Even unto death, they were unwilling to shirk their responsibilities.

However, this weakness seemed incapable of being exploited now.

Crack, boom~!

Cracks appeared in the tempered glass, shattering instantly.

Lin Qianxuan, who had reverted to human form and changed his clothes, entered the room with Chen Long’Er.

Takamaki Qingji was slightly taken aback; Lin Qianxuan arrived a bit too quickly.

In an instant, the people around Takamaki Qingji aimed their guns at Lin Qianxuan.

Shojo Seifu also prepared himself, intending to protect Takamaki Qingji.

But Takamaki Qingji waved his hand, signaling them to lower their weapons.

"No need to be nervous. Mr. Lin, I presume? I believe we don’t necessarily have to be enemies," Takamaki Qingji said, "Your use of your powers is still quite crude. If you’re willing to work for us, we are willing to provide you with ample resources to develop your power. With your talent, the future of this world would tremble because of you, of course."
