With such strength, coupled with an equally outstanding sister, Ye Xiaoshuang, he is a super SS-level genius with five hundred years of cultivation. It can be said that he is the core of the core that the headquarters cares about the most. Indeed, if an elder from the headquarters were to come, they wouldn't let them lead the charge.
However, looking at the young faces in his department, Elder Jing felt troubled. These were all people he had personally trained, and sending them up now would be sending them to their deaths.
The first wave of attacks, to put it nicely, was to attract the monsters' attention. To put it bluntly, it was a suicide mission. Information about the monsters' skills, strength, and so on, required a large number of people to fill in, and this process was often not short. With the personality of Ye Chen and his group, if there was any risk ahead, he would retreat immediately.
And he wouldn't make a move until the monsters' moves were fully revealed!
As for how many people died, that was not something he cared about...
"Alas, so be it! This old man will lead the charge this time. I've been in the Jiangnan branch for so many years, and it's time for me to rest..."
"Hey, Elder Jing! How can this be..." Ye Xiaoshuang, standing nearby, felt a bit embarrassed and immediately stepped forward to stop Elder Jing.
She knew that while Elder Jing's strength wasn't particularly strong, his seniority was extremely high. Many elders at headquarters were sworn brothers with Elder Jing, and some younger elders were once Elder Jing's students. With these connections, if Elder Jing were to charge into battle, it would be difficult for them, the juniors, to explain themselves if they returned.
"Brother, say something!" Ye Xiaoshuang said anxiously.
Seeing that it was unavoidable, Ye Chen could only sigh and say, "How about this, I promise to make a move after the first round of attacks. Is that acceptable!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Jing had no choice but to agree.
With Ye Chen's guarantee, although a large number of people might still die, Ye Chen's promise to make a move meant that some students would ultimately be preserved, and not all of them would perish.
Elder Jing sighed. Although this outcome was not what he wanted, it seemed like there was no other way at the moment.
"Alright, let's start now. We'll strive to go and return early!"
The group immediately began to organize and set off!
It was evident that the Jiangnan branch was quite capable. As soon as they were told to go on a mission, many experts signed up. Even though they knew this mission was very dangerous, not many people flinched.
Soon, Zhen Ji found Su Han and quietly said, "Su Han, Elder Jing said you are not allowed to go up later, you can only watch from the back!"
"What?"
Su Han was somewhat surprised. He never expected Elder Jing to make such an arrangement. But then again, he was a seeded contestant of SSS level, the most promising one in the Jiangnan branch. Elder Jing doing this was to preserve the last seed.
"What about you?" Su Han asked.
Zhen Ji, standing beside him, pointed to the front row and said, "I'll lead the charge!"
"This... Elder Jing is really something!"
Su Han was astonished that Zhen Ji would be leading the charge this time. Thinking of the terror of the unknown creature, Su Han shook his head. If Zhen Ji led the charge this time, she would surely die in the first wave of attacks, as that thing was something even the Lava Crystal Beast with over a thousand years of cultivation was very afraid of.
Even with Su Han's current cultivation of five thousand years, he wouldn't dare to say he could take it down.
For such a monster, no matter who led the charge, it would only be death!
Thinking of this.
Su Han decided to stop pretending. If he conserved his strength this time, the outcome would almost certainly be just a few more deaths, including the three headquarters experts who came. Their cultivation was less than 880 points, not a match for the Lava Crystal Beast at all, let alone the unknown creature.
"Stop!"
Standing at the very front of the team, Su Han directly stopped them. "Everyone stop. I'll tell you the truth about this mission. Everyone here is just going to die. As the only person who has had close contact with the monster, I have the right to say that the experts who came this time are all trash, easily defeated! If we are to continue, the headquarters must send stronger experts, at least ten times stronger than the three experts present to be barely qualified!"
*Puff!*
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below was stunned. They had no idea what it meant to be ten times stronger than the three experts present.
However, the words Su Han spoke, that the three headquarters experts present were trash, made even Elder Jing feel that this kid might have eaten something wrong. This was too arrogant.
"Hiss... What's going on? I haven't even taught this kid anything yet, and he's already this arrogant. It's unscientific!"
"So it's Su Han! This guy has earned tens of millions in mission gold these past few months. Elder Jing said before that this kid's family is poor and asked us to go easy on him, but now, all the missions have gone to this kid, and we haven't gotten a single one!"
"Tsk tsk, it must be that Elder Jing has been giving this kid special tutoring during this time, and his strength should have improved a lot. But the mistake is that he shouldn't have challenged Ye Chen and the others. I heard that Ye Chen is the type to hold grudges, so Su Han is going to be miserable this time!"
After a round of discussion, everyone was not optimistic about Su Han.
As expected!
Ye Chen, Ye Xiaoshuang, and Li Xun, who were just called trash, were instantly enraged!
Ye Xiaoshuang looked at Su Han with disdain and snorted, "Kid, who do you think you are, to dare call me trash? Do you know how many years of cultivation I have now?"
Su Han chuckled and immediately opened his palm!
"A mere five hundred, and you dare to show off? Heh heh." Su Han teased. The reason he did this was to make these people sober up. If they went like this, it would be certain death. It was better to suppress them properly now.
"A mere five hundred... You have the nerve to say that. How much do you have?" Ye Xiaoshuang asked.
A smile curved Su Han's lips. Seeing the situation, if he didn't reveal some of his strength, he wouldn't be able to convince anyone.
Therefore, he said at this moment, "Not much, not much, just ten times yours!"
Ten times!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, including Elder Jing, who thought Su Han was talking nonsense. Ten times would mean five thousand.
Looking at the headquarters, this achievement was difficult for even ordinary elders to reach. Only a few mysterious individuals could possess such a level of strength. And those mysterious individuals were all protected to an extreme degree, with confidentiality levels so high that even Elder Jing, with his long tenure, knew very little.
Su Han claiming to have five thousand combat power today was simply too exaggerated!
