Transcendent Dawn-Chapter 504 - 0: Finalizing (Extra 5600, asking for monthly pass)

Chapter 504: Chapter 0504: Finalizing (Extra 5600, asking for monthly pass)

“What… What happened?”

A gentle breeze blew as Zi and Yang Feixiong arrived at the battlefield a few minutes later, their faces a mix of rage and disbelief.

The anger stemmed from the heavy losses inflicted on their Cybernet division due to the attack.

The disbelief was because by the time they had got there, the situation had already been resolved.

“The prison area… All the beasts have been confirmed to have died there and not escaped… The same with the invaders…” Wang Chaoqun came to report with a somewhat distressed expression on his face.

The scene, even in retrospect, was slightly nauseating.

“Strange… Who could it be?”

Yang Feixiong, standing on the rooftop and looking at the already unconscious old man, narrowed his eyes, “He even took down the God’s Ear, but didn’t take his life…”

“It’s confirmed that it wasn’t anyone from the headquarters, and no friendly Transcendent organization appeared either… It should be an unknown Transcendent, the numbers are small, maybe just one person.”

Zi put away his phone, answering with a complex expression on his face.

“There’s no need for such trouble… There still happens to be some hidden surveillance here at the division.”

Yang Feixiong waved his hand, switched on a portable computer on his arm, and with a static filled monitor that came to life, scenes started to play out.

First, naturally, was the sudden ambush by God’s Ear and his minions with rampant killing, making both Wang Chaoqun and Zi clench their teeth in anger: “These bastards…”

Then, the screen shifted, taking them to the prison area.

Zi saw a beastly looking man, with skin as green as a wild beast, releasing all the prisoners, only to grotesquely rot into chunks of meat.

“This should be some kind of invisible attack… I feel that it’s more similar to a curse.” Yang Feixiong stroked his chin, continuing to debug.

Finally, the screen shifted to the rooftop.

A slightly ethereal figure appeared on the screen.

The figure was cloaked in a black trench coat, wearing a bird-beak mask, and immediately upon reaching the rooftop, was at odds with the people of the Ancient God’s Eye.

What followed was a perplexing scene.

Ordinary Transcendents cannot observe the Spirit World or Spiritual Body, neither can instruments, of course.

Hence, Zi and Yang Feixiong watched, puzzled, as a strange figure tried to attack Su Lu but ended up mysteriously disappearing in mid-air.

The enigmatic figure barely even took action; merely uttered a few words and the God’s Ear fell to the ground, suffering from a seizure.

Due to a weak signal, some images were very blurry, and some even consisted of fragments that left Zi speechless.

Regardless of the situation… Fortunately, this mysterious person was on our side, but their power, it is truly astonishing…”

Yang Feixiong sighed, instructed his team to guard the crucial captive, and looked towards Zi.

Believing himself to be formidable among the Transcendents, his speed to reach the second rank was extraordinarily quick, almost first among the Cybernet. Yet, he was left realizing that he might not be able to win, or rather, only manage a strategic retreat while facing the situation on the rooftop.

But what about the mysterious figure?

Barely even taking action, they effortlessly demolished nearly half of the Ancient God’s Eye’s power.

This genuinely gave them a sense of the ‘profoundly unfathomable’, and the ‘master amongst the people’.

“Chief, commander… The report on the division’s losses is ready.”

After a while, more members of the Cybernet division arrived. Wang Chaoqun came with a report and declared a figure that made both Zi and Yang Feixiong turn pale.

After a long time, Yang Feixiong finally sighed, “It’s our fault for our faulty decisions. It’s not your problem. Who would have known… That a Fire Mage was just a decoy?”

If it weren’t for the mysterious person showing up, it’s feared that not only East City, but also a significant portion of the nearby area, would have been razed, leaving even Cybernet incapable of managing the aftermath!

“I will bear the major responsibility… As for Zi, I order you to sustain this local division until the headquarters sends someone to take over!”

Yang Feixiong said somberly, “And your only task right now is to find out the origins of the mysterious person! Be careful… Just seek out the clues gently, do not anger them!”

“Understood!”

Zi answered abruptly.

While Wang Chaoqun guiltily rolled his eyes in his mind: ‘That kind of powerful figure… Only a fool would dare to oppose them outright!’

“Well… Let’s discuss your thoughts.”

Yang Feixiong lit a cigarette, gloomily exhaling a ring of smoke.

“That mysterious man, we’ll come up with a code name for him later. Even though he wore a mask and may not be in his usual attire, he has left valuable data… Next, I’ll initiate the data analysts team to do a comparative search through nationwide networking, big data sift… The focus will be on East City, the Transcendents connected to myself, Cheng Feng, Wang Chaoqun and others… Of course, there might be some hidden ones.”

Yang Feixiong silently nodded.

Meanwhile, Wang Chaoqun was cautiously looking around.

He understood what Zi was implying. Since the other party was able to detect the changes quickly, plus there were signs of an invisible presence acting before in the dojo, it suggested that the mysterious person might be monitoring them through some unknown means!

In fact, even now, they might be being listened to.

Dropping these hints could be somewhat akin to stirring up the grass and alerting the snake.

…

“Have they figured it out?”

“Indeed… The clues are evident, the area has been isolated, the scope is small.”

Back at the Bai Jing restaurant, Su Lu, while peeling a potato, nodded in agreement.

Since he intervened this time, he no longer held much luck, knowing that being hunted down was inevitable. The difference would just be a matter of time.

He also wanted to cooperate with them for a bit. If the Eye of the Ancient God, Su Weite, didn’t turn up, he at least needed to know their exact location!

“This time, I harvested quite a bit of experience and was able to upgrade my Spirit Communication Skill, also preparing to become a [Spiritualist]…”

Unlike most Occupational Persons, Su Lu already knew his advanced profession and its requirements well in advance and could meet them ahead of time.

He just had to wait for the world to level up, and he could immediately do the same.

His thoughts turned to his attribute column:

[Spirit Communication Skill LV1→LV4! Gained exclusive bonus —— Attraction enhancement!]

[Attraction Enhancement —— Enhanced sensitivity to the Spirit World, more spiritual beings will be willing to obey your command.]

“Actually… The three layers of the Spirit World in this world aren’t very strong, as the level up of the world has just started, there is no appearance of extraordinary spiritual beings.”

Su Lu closed his eyes, sensing his own body, and sighed involuntarily.

Knowing that with his current professional rank and level of Spirit Communication Skill, trying to channel his main body is practically unrealistic.

At most, he could summon a phantom, exert pressuring mysterious information causing terror, inflicting an ‘Ancient God’s Curse’!

This was also one of his trump cards.

“By the way, if there were other sixth-rank Occupant Persons who performed the ritual same as mine, their fate would be tragic… The reason why I am in such a smooth sailing situation now, have a significant advantage, and with ample time to spare, is utterly reliant on the attribute column…”

Shaking his head, Su Lu sighed upon thinking of his previous arrangements.

I must cheat at critical moments, there’s no other way!
