”Divine Machine Camp?”

「Yue Province Military Region Headquarters.」

The regional commander, Lu Kai, looked at a document on his desk, deep in thought.

”Commander, that Chief Instructor of the Divine Machine Camp is too arrogant! He disabled our Wolf Slayer Camp. If we don’t avenge this, our military region will completely lose face!” a man below him roared, smashing his fist on the table. He was the Wolf Slayer Camp’s advisor, not a member of the military region staff, but he had poured a great deal of effort into the unit.

”You’re worried about losing face now?” Lu Kai glanced at the man indifferently. ”I’d like to ask Consultant Yan, is the Wolf Slayer Camp his Zhang Family’s camp, or is it Yue Province’s? Daring to confront the Chief Instructor of the Divine Machine Camp? It’s one thing to lose, but to act so thoughtlessly!”

Lu Kai’s tone was nothing short of stern. Everyone present felt intimidated.

The matter had already been thoroughly investigated. Although the Divine Machine Camp’s actions were excessive, the responsibility ultimately lay with the Wolf Slayer Camp.

”Send word to the Miraculous Group. Tell them to take responsibility for this incident,” Lu Kai said coldly. ”Also, suspend the Wolf Slayer Camp’s Chief Instructor, Zhang Feng, pending investigation!”

After announcing the series of orders, Lu Kai turned his gaze back to the document on his desk.

”The Chief Instructor of the Divine Machine Camp, Lin Mu?” A faint smile touched Lu Kai’s lips. ”Old comrade, old comrade. It seems your Divine Machine Camp has finally come back to life.”

「...」

”What? The Divine Machine Camp actually went to Yue Province and disabled their Wolf Slayer Camp?”

”You bet. A comrade of mine is in the Wolf Slayer Camp, and he said the Divine Machine Camp is just a bunch of madmen. They defeated them all in one battle. Now, even participating in the grand tournament seems doubtful.”

”Is that true? In the last tournament, wasn’t the Divine Machine Camp ranked the lowest? And the Wolf Slayer Camp was ranked fifth.”

”This news has spread throughout all seven military regions. How could it be false?”

The battle in Yue Province had suddenly thrust the Divine Machine Camp into the spotlight, causing a stir across all seven military regions. Jinan, Shenyang, the Capital, Sichuan-Shu, and the other major military regions were all reminded of this once-forgotten unit.

「Sichuan-Shu.」

”Divine Machine Camp?” A man in green robes looked at the document in his hand, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. ”Quite interesting. I just wonder what kind of outstanding performance you’ll show at the grand tournament in three days.”

With a flick of his finger, the document turned to ash and disappeared.

”Teacher Wang, the brothers are all ready. Should we set off now?” Zhou Dalong asked excitedly as he approached.

The man before him was a legend in the Martial Arts World. His strength was no less than that of Mr. Lin. After spending time with him, the entire Jiaolong Camp revered Teacher Wang as a Heavenly God. Although many held Mr. Lin in high regard, the difference was too great when compared to Teacher Wang.

Because this man’s name was Wang Ye—Wudang’s Wang Ye!

Wang Ye shook his head. ”What’s the hurry? Let them continue training. We’ll leave on the day of the grand tournament.”

”Yes, sir,” Zhou Dalong replied before turning to leave.

Wang Ye sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, facing the cliff with an air of nonchalance about him.

”Do you think this Lin Wudi is really that strong?” Wang Ye suddenly said, seemingly out of the blue, as he stared intently into the empty space before him.

The next moment, the clouds and mist converged, forming a towering structure in front of him that seemed to pierce the heavens.

”Damn, is he that powerful?” Wang Ye clicked his tongue. ”So should we just forget about getting revenge for that branch of my Wang Family?”

The clouds shifted again, forming a ball of air with three small tails.

”Avenge them? What a joke.” Wang Ye’s expression darkened, and he waved his hand dismissively. ”Alright, alright. I won’t provoke him, then.”

The mist formed a smiling face with a thumbs-up next to it, as if praising him.

”Get lost! I don’t need your flattery!”

「...」

「The Capital.」

Xiao Xuan slammed his teacup on the table and laughed heartily, looking extremely pleased.

”Well done! He hasn’t disgraced me!”

Wolf Slayer Camp! That was my old comrade Lu Kai’s secret unit, and it was disabled by the Divine Machine Camp. Excellent, excellent.

”Pass on my orders. Send some healing medicine over to the Yue Province Military Region,” Xiao Xuan said with a mischievous smile. ”Last year, that old fool Lu Kai annoyed the hell out of me. This time, I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine.”

Han Xiaochuan smiled helplessly and turned to leave.

「Martial Alliance Headquarters.」

Liang Yousheng hurried into the room and placed a document in front of Yao Kuohai. ”Mr. Yao, yesterday, the Divine Machine Camp traveled to Yue Province and disabled the Wolf Slayer Camp!”

”Good, good, good!” Yao Kuohai slapped the table vigorously, exclaiming with great joy, ”Instructor Lin finally didn’t disappoint me!”

Yao Kuohai laughed heartily, then his expression turned serious. ”And what about Lin Wudi? Any recent news?”

”Yes,” Liang Yousheng replied. ”International underground assassination organizations have already sent people into Huaxia. Many have gone to River City, apparently looking to cause trouble for Lin Wudi.”

”Very good!” Yao Kuohai said. ”I just received news that the military’s grand tournament is in three days. If Lin Wudi isn’t dead by then, that will be the day of his decisive battle with Instructor Lin! This time, Lin Wudi must die!”

「...」

「River City.」

Lin Mu accompanied Su Ke’er back to the company. After they took care of a few matters, the two left together. It was the end of the workday, and the entrance of the company building was bustling with people.

”Lin Mu?” a familiar voice called out.

It was his cousin, Qin Yan!

”When did you get back?” Qin Yan looked quite surprised to see Lin Mu. Her eyes showed another flicker of surprise when she saw him walking with Su Ke’er.

Qin Yan took a deep breath. ”Lin Mu, I...”

BANG!

Before Qin Yan could finish, the sharp crack of a gunshot ripped through the air.

The crowd stared around in panic. When they saw someone slowly falling to the ground, they cried out in alarm, shouting that someone had been murdered.

”Cousin!”

”Sister Yan!”

The person who had fallen was Qin Yan.

She looked down slightly at her chest, where blood was already seeping through her clothes.

”I...” A look of pain crossed Qin Yan’s face as her body went limp.

”Cousin!” Lin Mu lunged forward and caught her.

”Lin Mu, am I... am I going to die?” Blood trickled from her mouth. As a doctor, she knew her injury was severe; her heart had been shot through.

”No!” Su Ke’er cried, wiping the blood from Qin Yan’s mouth. ”Sister Yan, don’t talk! You won’t die.”

”It’s no use, I...” Qin Yan coughed, and more blood gushed out.

Holding Qin Yan, Lin Mu said with ice-cold eyes, ”With me here, you won’t die!”

”Lin Mu...”

”Shut your mouth!” Lin Mu ordered sternly.

Once Qin Yan fell silent, the hand Lin Mu had placed over her chest suddenly erupted with brilliant green spiritual energy. The energy poured into the wound, rapidly repairing her life force. In just a few seconds, color began to return to Qin Yan’s face. If not for her remaining pallor, she would have looked completely unharmed.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

”Take good care of her. I’ll be right back!”

After handing Qin Yan to Su Ke’er, Lin Mu stood up, a chilling aura bursting forth from him.

”Trying to escape?”

Lin Mu’s gaze shot in a certain direction. He stamped his foot on the ground and, to a chorus of shocked cries, soared into the sky, leaving a clear footprint embedded in the pavement below.
