Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

The Divine Hidden Sword has returned to the Human World, causing all the exhibits in the Divine Concealment Emperor Exhibition Hall to tremble in reverence.

The security department of the Emperor Exhibition Hall is divided into three shifts, with shift changes at 6 AM, 2 PM, and 10 PM.

The incoming security team usually arrives at the exhibition hall half an hour early to conduct pre-shift exhibit inspections.

This morning at 5:30, two groups of security personnel were routinely checking the exhibits together, from the first floor to the fifth floor, and everything seemed normal.

However, when they reached the sixth-floor exhibition hall, they heard a strange noise.

Hmm?

Sensing movement on the sixth floor, both groups instinctively rushed towards it.

Arriving at the sixth-floor hall, they looked through the security barrier into the exhibition hall and saw a shocking scene—

All the treasures in the exhibition hall were mysteriously vibrating and emitting a buzzing sound!

Moreover, the harmonica, said to be the Divine Hidden Emperor’s favorite during his lifetime, unexpectedly played music on its own, with no one blowing it!

What the hell!

”Quick! Report this to the curator immediately!”

The Divine Concealment Emperor Exhibition Hall must be haunted!

*

The murderous aura of the Divine Hidden Sword was too intense, and the powerful battle intent released from the sword instantly shattered the Tiger Water Beast controlled by Yan Huxiao’s superpower.

Boom!

The Tiger Water Beast exploded, turning into a torrential rain that drenched everyone present like drowned rats.

Yan Jingchen’s elegant and beautiful golden hair, drenched by the downpour, clung to his back in strands, and his aura of elegance and nobility vanished completely.

Yan Zhu’s princess dress was also fully soaked, sticking awkwardly to her body, making her look even more disheveled.

”...”

Wiping the rain from his face, Yan Huxiao shouted in shock, ”How did they break my Water Tiger Beast so quickly!”

Yan Jingchen retorted, ”Useless!”

Though he scolded Yan Huxiao as useless, his heart was actually filled with shock.

Yan Huxiao, being his left-hand man, was formidable; among Water Control Ability Users, Yan Huxiao was considered outstanding.

Other superpower users could only control visible water, but Yan Huxiao could summon all the water energy within a hundred miles.

The Water Tiger Beast he controlled earlier used two-thirds of the water energy from a lake.

For most superpower users, breaking his Water Tiger Beast was a fool’s dream, and even some powerful Super Power Users would take half an hour or more to successfully break free.

Yet 099 and 100 shattered the Water Tiger Beast in just a few breaths.

How could this not be shocking?

The four simultaneously turned their gaze to the south shore of the lake.

After the Water Tiger Beast dissipated, Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an’s figures reappeared before them.

Yan Jingchen first noticed the giant iron beast beneath Xu Xingguang.

The iron beast stood over twenty meters tall, its jet-black iron body resembling a small black mountain, exuding an unstoppable sense of oppression.

Eagle Sparrow was so large that Huo Wen’an, standing next to it, was not even as tall as its calf and was easily overlooked.

Only Yan Zhu noticed that Huo Wen’an was holding... a bamboo joint stick.

A stick?

”Palace Master,” Yan Zhu reminded Yan Jingchen, ”Look at the sword in 099’s hand! Doesn’t it look familiar?”

It was only then that Yan Jingchen and Yan Huxiao focused on the sword in Huo Wen’an’s right hand.

Seeing the shape of the sword in his hand, Yan Jingchen’s pupils contracted slightly, his expression changing subtly as he muttered incredulously, ”The Divine Hidden Sword?”

Anyone who has been to the Divine Concealment Emperor Exhibition Hall knows that in the central hall on the first floor, there is an empty glass display cabinet.

Inside that cabinet, there is no physical object, only a bamboo-stick-shaped ancient sword replicated using holographic projection technology.

That sword is called the Divine Hidden.

Legend has it that the Divine Hidden Emperor, Divine Hidden Crane, was a man of remarkable combat prowess, taught by Divine Concealment Shi.

This Divine Concealment Shi was a legendary figure; before the meteorite fell, when there were no Super Power Users and the average human lifespan was only a few decades, Divine Concealment Shi lived over three hundred years.

It is said he was the first strongman of the Divine Hidden Clan and a devoted pet owner. While others raised cats and dogs, and some high-end individuals raised tigers and crocodiles, Divine Concealment Shi raised a python.

When that python died due to an accident in Divine Concealment Shi’s later years, Divine Concealment Shi extracted its tendons and bones and forged them into a bamboo joint long sword.

When Divine Concealment Shi passed away, he gave that bamboo sword as a ’graduation gift’ to his favorite disciple, Divine Hidden Crane.
