What happened just now? Where is the Black Demon? Did you kill it?
Outside the Jade Ink Space, the man with the saber asked Wang Ye and Yu Zhibo, who had just appeared.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Zhibo's shadow clone, clearly sensing the anomaly of the clone as an energy body, but he didn't say much.
The man with the saber was 1.9 meters tall, with a strong and powerful physique, as straight as a pine. He was estimated to be between thirty-five and forty years old. His eyebrows were somewhat thick, his face was honest, and his eyes were bright. His palms had thick calluses, indicating he was a person who had used a saber for many years. His aura was bloody and fierce, showing he had emerged from a sea of corpses.
This was also why Yu Zhibo initially mistook him for an enemy.
Upon hearing the man with the saber speak, Yu Zhibo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was leaning towards the man with the saber being sent by the Shenhua Bureau, and Wang Ye's subsequent words further confirmed this.
Wang Ye lay on the ground, gasping for breath before recovering. He sat up, looked at the man with the saber, and said, "Team Leader, that peak C-class Black Demon has been eliminated by this brother in front of you. Can you take me back to heal now? I feel like I'm going to die!"
At the end, he cast a resentful glance at Yu Zhibo, clearly having suffered no small torment within the space.
Hearing this, the man with the saber immediately looked at Yu Zhibo with approval and said, "Good strength. You'll be going to the Dark Secret Realm with us in a few days. Are you ready?"
As for Wang Ye's words, he paid no attention. He had been fighting strong enemies for years and had suffered countless serious injuries. With his rich experience, he could tell at a glance that Wang Ye's injuries were not fatal.
Yu Zhibo's clone was startled upon hearing the man with the saber's words, "You saw through my identity?"
The man with the saber smiled slightly and said, "I am Wang Sen, the team leader of the Fourth Team in the Executive Department. Ling Fugui has already told me about you. After receiving the message Wang Ye sent me, I snatched the mission released by the General Bureau from other team leaders."
After explaining why he had rushed over, he continued, "On the way, I also watched your live stream replay. Red eyes, peculiar clone techniques, and endless lightning magic skills. Besides you, who else in our Ningcheng branch has these characteristics?"
"Is it that obvious?" Yu Zhibo was somewhat speechless.
"I initially thought you were a bit weak. Was it too hasty for Ling Fugui to ask you to team up with us? I didn't expect you not only to reach D-class in a short time but also to be able to defeat a C-class dark creature at a higher level. You are truly formidable, young man," Wang Sen praised.
Yu Zhibo chuckled heartily, not being humble. At this moment, Wang Sen added:
"Unlike me, when I was D-class, I was only lucky enough to break a finger of a B-class dark creature!"
"MMP!"
"He didn't just defeat it at a higher level; he killed a peak C-class Black Demon!" Wang Ye, lying on the ground, interjected.
Then, he looked expectant, "Team Leader, when can I go back? It's been three years. I've been undercover for three years. All the C-level dark organization strongholds in Ningcheng have been cleared. Can I go back now?"
"Swallow that dark bloodline within you as soon as possible, otherwise, when you reach B-class, you won't be able to control it. You've worked hard all these years. After you return, I will apply for merit rewards for you from the Director. You are also C-class now, so you need to learn to be disciplined and not play games whenever you have free time," Wang Sen said, looking at Wang Ye with sternness and expectation.
"Nice!" Wang Ye was immediately invigorated, feeling as if his injuries had already recovered. He completely ignored Wang Sen's admonishment.
Normally, within the team, the other members of the Fourth Team behind Wang Sen's back called him "Mom Wang" because he was too naggy.
Seeing that their conversation was over, Yu Zhibo asked, "Team Leader Wang, the Ling Fugui you mentioned, could it be..."
"Yes, it's Ling Xiaotian. As an extraordinary being, he values his demeanor as much as his life, even changing his name for it! Does the strength of us extraordinary beings depend on our names? I am truly ashamed to be associated with such a person!" Wang Sen said with a look of disappointment.
Yu Zhibo's clone's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt that the team he was about to join was becoming unreliable.
"We're going back. Do you want to come with me?" Wang Sen looked at Yu Zhibo's clone, knowing it wasn't Yu Zhibo's main body, but he didn't expose it and asked.
The clone pondered for a moment. As a cautious clone, he felt that Chen Yidao and Wang Ye were both members of the dark organization, and the probability of them colluding to trick him was not high, but not impossible. Therefore, he did not dissipate himself and let his main body come out, but nodded and said, "Okay!"
So, Wang Sen circulated his spiritual energy, and an invisible force lifted Yu Zhibo's clone and Wang Ye, flying towards the Shenhua Branch.
After reaching B-class, the spiritual energy within the sequence core solidified, and its operating speed became even more terrifying. Aerial flight was one of its characteristics.
Because he was carrying two people, Wang Sen's flight speed was not very fast, but it was not slow either. About fifteen minutes later, the three finally returned to the Sacred Branch.
Upon seeing the familiar steel fortress, Yu Zhibo's cautious clone finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mission is complete, Team Leader Wang, goodbye!"
With that, without waiting for their reply, he placed his fingers together at his chest, and with a bang, he dissipated into a cloud of smoke.
"What an interesting ability!" Wang Sen looked at Yu Zhibo's disappearing figure with a look of astonishment.
"Uncle, hurry and take me back, I'm dying!" Wang Ye urged.
"You're eager to heal so you can go play games, right? Also, how many times have I told you, don't call me Uncle in front of outsiders or within the base!"
"Got it, got it, hurry up and take me for treatment, I'm really dying!"
"You did well this time, you've worked hard!"
"Ah, what did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
"Get lost!"
"The clone hasn't sent any news for so long, and it's not dead. Could it have been taken hostage? Or does it have other plans?"
Inside the Jade Ink Space, Yu Zhibo, who had been waiting for a long time, did not receive any news from his clone, and his brow furrowed.
Then, he looked at the light figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the space and asked the Jade Ink, "Can't this space hold living things?"
"Meow!" The Jade Ink nodded.
"Then why did you eat Teemo and Wang Ye!" Yu Zhibo was speechless.
"Meow~ (*￣︿￣)" The Jade Ink was a little angry and a little wronged, implying: "Didn't you tell me to eat them?"
"Alright, alright, my fault, my fault!" Yu Zhibo patted the Jade Ink's furry head, then pointed at the light figure and asked, "So, I can enter this space because of it?"
"Meow?" The Jade Ink indicated it didn't know either.
"Then how does it exist?"
The Jade Ink shook its head frantically, indicating it didn't understand either.
Yu Zhibo sighed, sat down casually, picked up the Jade Ink into his arms, and stroked its head, saying, "Jade Ink, you're a mature demonic cat. When will you finally be able to speak!"
As he held it, he realized that the Jade Ink had become heavier and its body had grown a bit larger after consuming the D-class spiritual crystal, changing from a size 41 to a size 43 athletic shoe, weighing about 10 kilograms.
Remembering that the Jade Ink was still E-class, weaker than Teemo, and it was time to level up, he asked, "Jade Ink, can you still eat and absorb light energy spiritual crystals?"
"Meow!" The Jade Ink nodded frantically.
"Fine!"
Yu Zhibo pondered for a moment, picked up a C-class dark energy spiritual crystal obtained from a monster the previous day, purified it, and then offered it to the Jade Ink's mouth.
