CHAPTER 610: CHAPTER 610: BREAKING THROUGH TO SEVENTH GRADE

Meanwhile.

Federation leadership.

Qin Wanfeng and a group of senior leaders were seated around a large round table.

Qin Wanfeng reported to everyone, "According to monitoring, a large number of energy fluctuations have appeared in the sky both inside and outside the Federation territory. The layout is scattered, without any pattern, but the energy waves are extraordinarily strong, resembling those when a Secret Realm appears. Moreover, these energy waves are abnormally violent, very similar to the Mutant Beast Secret Realm that appeared at the Southwest Border a month ago."

"Besides us, other Federations have also encountered similar situations. I boldly speculate that the world may face a tremendous crisis."

The atmosphere among those present was very serious.

"Based on your calculations, when will these energy fluctuations reach their peak?" one person asked.

"In one month."

Qin Wanfeng replied.

Then, he added, "There are many of these energy fluctuations appearing, and once one reaches its peak, the others will follow suit."

The person nodded, glanced at the others, then asked, "According to your guess, are all these energy fluctuations related to Mutant Beast Secret Realms?"

Mutant Beast Secret Realm.

Unlike resource and welfare Secret Realms, these are purely inhabited by a variety of fierce mutant beasts, big and small, strong and weak, some docile and some not. But the appearance of a Mutant Beast Secret Realm typically spells disaster for humanity.

Mutant beasts, being "mutant" and non-human, possess inherently different intentions.

Usually, when they appear, they must be destroyed.

Just like the recently appeared Mutant Beast Secret Realm at the Southwest Border, the Longxia Federation dispatched the army and directly suppressed and destroyed it.

The grade of this emerged Mutant Beast Secret Realm was not very high, so the battle was quickly resolved without significant casualties.

However, the information provided by Qin Wanfeng now was troubling: so many energy fluctuations—if they’re all Secret Realms, one after another, how many troops would Longxia have to prepare?

"Is there a count of how many energy fluctuation areas there are?"

Qin Wanfeng replied, "Currently there are over a hundred, and the number is still increasing."

"Still increasing?"

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Immediately afterward, they asked impatiently, "Is the rate of increase fast?"

"The rate of increase isn’t very fast."

This statement allowed everyone to relax slightly.

But Qin Wanfeng’s next statement tensed them up again, "Although the rate of increase isn’t fast, among these energy regions that have appeared, there are three especially strong energy fluctuations! Based on these energy readings, if they are indeed Mutant Beast Secret Realms, it’s very likely that Eighth Grade mutant beasts will emerge."

Hearts rose to throats once more.

The appearance of Eighth Grade mutant beasts would be a destructive blow—only Eighth Grade Spirit Masters could deal with them.

And in their entire Federation, there was only one Eighth Grade Spirit Master.

But Qin Wanfeng mentioned three of them!

What would happen if they appeared simultaneously?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Zhan Yuntian walked in.

Seeing him, everyone asked in confusion, "Aren’t you supposed to be in the Hidden Dragon Hall? Why did you come here?"

"Xiao Zhan has already completed his task and returned. I have arranged for him to enter deep cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Hall," Zhan Yuntian answered.

Hearing this, those present couldn’t help but express their surprise.

"You’re saying Xiao Zhan has already completed his mission to control the Baka Federation?"

"Yes."

"That’s unbelievable. How long has it passed?" one person exclaimed in awe.

Then, as if thinking of something, they turned their gaze to Qin Wanfeng, "Old Qin, the person you recommended has really surprised us all."

A look of joy and pride spread across Qin Wanfeng’s face. Although he believed that Xiao Zhan would successfully complete the mission, when Xiao Zhan actually did, Qin Wanfeng’s lingering concern was finally put to rest.

He was delighted by the leadership’s praise.

"It’s nothing much; I just believed in his ability to get it done, and he has never let me down."

Everyone laughed heartily.

Then, they turned their attention back to Zhan Yuntian, "Aside from him, has anyone else completed their mission?"

Zhan Yuntian shook his head, "No, only Tang Kun is still alive; the other two have been sacrificed. We are still unclear about Tang Kun’s situation and for his safety, we dare not contact him."

"Yes, it’s right not to contact him to avoid compromising his plans. However, keep an eye on any developments on his end; if he needs anything, we’ll give our full support. The situation has changed; we need to make some adjustments."

"Understood!"

The discussion continued.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan had entered a state of frenzied cultivation.

He’d put his life on the line to absorb Death Aura. With his life force draining, his power was skyrocketing at an incredible pace.

In just under ten days, Xiao Zhan’s strength naturally broke through to Seventh Grade without any bottlenecks. The cleansing from the Secret Realm Origin allowed him to break through this realm without any obstacles.

As long as there was enough energy, he could keep breaking through.

Perhaps only the transition from Eighth Grade to Ninth Grade would present him with a bottleneck!

Thus, the youngest Seventh Grade Spirit Master in Federation history appeared—a Seventh Grade Spirit Master at just under twenty-two years old!

If news of this were to spread, it would surely drop jaws everywhere!

Meanwhile.

Northern City.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the space was tumultuous, a phenomenon of spatial distortion hovering above the entire Northern City, as if the world itself was on the brink of destruction.

Ye Anu stood on the defensive city wall, watching the surging and mysterious scene outside, and felt an extremely ominous premonition rising within him.

Crack!

Just then, a sudden loud thunderclap.

A bolt of lightning struck down.

The next second, several kilometers outside the Northern City defense line, a massive beast appeared!

The mutant beast was enormous, thirty to forty meters in height, its body covered with muscles, flashing with fangs and claws, howling in the sky like a Godzilla. It noticed the location of Northern City and charged toward it.

In addition, behind it, a Secret Realm appeared.

The entrance of the Secret Realm opened.

Inside, mutant beasts of all sizes began to crowd out like fishes spawning.

In no time at all, a dense swarm of mutant beasts had appeared outside Northern City!

"Level one battle alert!"

Seeing this, Ye Anu immediately bellowed. His command instantaneously reached every position along the defense line.

Instantly, various energy weapons activated and began to charge.

Ye Anu stared at the emerging mutant beast, feeling a strong sense of oppression, but his face remained absolutely calm, and there was not a hint of fear in his entire being!

As soon as he saw the mutant beast come within attack range, he immediately gave the order, shouting, "Fire!!"
