"Not bad, just as required," Fang Chong said with satisfaction as he watched his Wind Blade split the wood into two halves. Ai Xi was equally satisfied. She thought she was the only genius who had created the Wind Blade technique. But it turned out Fang Chong was impressive too. His One Finger Divination technique used even less energy and was perfect for a silent ambush. "Ai Xi, Fang Chong, I knew you were here," an elderly voice called out. "Headmaster," Ai Xi and Fang Chong promptly greeted upon seeing the approaching elder. They admired and respected Headmaster Zhang Yongcheng from the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Yongcheng looked at the splintered wood in the distance, hit by Ai Xi and Fang Chong, and nodded, "Good, good, I'm very satisfied with your progress." "Headmaster, are you here to see us for something?" Fang Chong knew that if there weren't something important, the old headmaster wouldn't come looking for them. Zhang Yongcheng nodded, "Yes, right now the Human Corridor defense line needs reinforcements. All your senior brothers and sisters have gone, and many of them have left their lives there..." Before Zhang Yongcheng could finish, Fang Chong spoke out loudly, "Headmaster, I, Fang Chong, am willing to go, disregarding life and death." Hearing Fang Chong's intent to go to the Human Corridor defense line, Ai Xi also hurriedly said, "I'm willing to go too." She was here waiting for Ding Huan, and although Ding Huan hadn't come yet, she had learned most of what Ding Huan had taught her. Not only that, she had even developed the Wind Blade Skill. "Good, good..." Zhang Yongcheng said the word 'good' several times, "Worthy of being a student from Da Han Yi Academy, spirited and courageous. In that case, you and Ai Xi each take three Vitality Stones and take this time to further enhance your strength. We'll depart in half a month." ... Qu Yi finished her cultivation practice and stepped out of her room, intending to practice the Fireball Technique today. Unfortunately, she had no Vitality Stones left. If she had them, she could advance to a level four gene cultivator in just one week. "Yi Yi, someone's looking for you," Qu Yi had just come out when she heard Qu Yonghe's voice. Qu Yi felt a bit apprehensive. Could it be about the incident where she had killed Revey? When she arrived in the living room, she saw her father and Aunt Xing entertaining two guests over tea and immediately knew they weren't family relatives. One was a middle-aged man, the other a young man. "Hello Qu Yi, my name is Dou Qingzhi..." The middle-aged man stood up and greeted her with a smile upon seeing Qu Yi approach. Dou Qingzhi? That name sounded very familiar. Yet Qu Yonghe quickly stood up and said, "So it's Director Dou gracing us with his presence. I can't believe I didn't recognize you." Qu Yonghe was genuinely startled; he couldn't have imagined that the visitor would be Dou Qingzhi, the Director of the Hua Xia Security Department. "You are Director Dou?" Qu Yi was also astonished. Her heart fluttered with astonishment but also somewhat eased. Dou Qingzhi coming to her home definitely couldn't be because of killing Revey. "Yes, I am, and this is Wang Qiusheng from Pu Hai," Dou Qingzhi said as he pointed to the young man who stood up with a smile. Qu Yi quickly said, "Qu Yi greets Director Dou and Governor Wang." Although she had never met Wang Qiusheng before, Qu Yi had heard of him. He was the head of the action group of the Pu Hai Security Department, one of the authority figures there. "Let's all sit down and talk," sensing Qu Yonghe's slight unease after learning of his identity, Dou Qingzhi took the initiative to invite everyone. After everyone was seated, Wang Qiusheng apologized to Qu Yi, "Miss Qu Yi, what happened to you in Pu Hai is our Security Department's responsibility for failing to protect the citizens properly. On behalf of the Pu Hai Security Department, I apologize to you." Qu Yi and Qu Yonghe remained silent; they knew the visitors had not come just to apologize. Indeed, Dou Qingzhi followed up by saying, "The recent surge in Genetic Beast activity in South America is too great, and they are getting stronger. Our Director Zong Han of the Pu Hai Security Department went to the Human Corridor defense line a few months ago, and he was severely injured and nearly lost his life not long ago." Hearing this, Qu Yi inwardly sighed. Without these people's protection, perhaps the Genetic Beasts would have already invaded their homeland. "Miss Qu Yi, we know you possess an invisible Inner Qi blade technique. So I've come today to ask you to join our Security Department and help support the frontline defense at the Human Corridor with us..." Before Dou Qingzhi could finish speaking, Qu Yonghe quickly interjected, "Director Dou, our Qu Yi is still recovering from her injuries. She was severely injured before, to the point that she lost her sight. She's only gotten a little better these past few days and can't go to the frontline." After letting Qu Yonghe finish, Qu Yi stood up, "Director Dou, I promise to join you and go to the Human Corridor defense line..." "Yi Yi..." Qu Yonghe exclaimed in shock. Yan Quan, who had been eavesdropping behind them, couldn't care less and rushed out, "Yi Yi, have you lost your mind?" Both Qu Yonghe and Yan Quan knew all too well how high the mortality rate was on the human corridor defense line. Though one could obtain supreme honor on the human corridor defense line, once a person died, everything else was meaningless. Qu Yi spoke slowly, "Dad, Mom, the reason we can live here so peacefully is that there are people who bear the burdens and prevent disasters from reaching us. When I was powerless, all I could do was silently watch as they were killed fighting against the fierce beasts. Now that I have the power, why shouldn't I be able to shield more people from the oncoming suffering?" Hearing their daughter's words, neither Qu Yonghe nor Yan Quan could utter another word. Qu Yi continued, "I've always believed that the soldiers who bear the burdens and the people who protect our homeland are the most beautiful scenery. I crave beauty, so I too want to join that human scenery, to do whatever I can. Otherwise, what would be the meaning of my cultivation? Didn't I work hard to enter one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges just for this day?" "Good." Dou Qingzhi stood up; he hadn't expected Qu Yi to have such a broad perspective. Indeed, with so many people like Qu Yi in Hua Xia, it remained the world's benchmark to this very day. "Qu Yi, if you want to go to any one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, you can tell me," said Dou Qingzhi, inspired by Qu Yi and making a promise he had never made before. Qu Yi smiled, "Thank you, Director Dou, but I don't need to go to the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges now. I have already learned what I wanted." "This is a little something from us. You stay home and cultivate in peace for half a month, and then we'll depart from Pu Hai," Wang Qiusheng said, placing a cloth bag in front of Qu Yi. "I don't need these..." Qu Yi picked up the cloth bag intending to return it to Wang Qiusheng, but as soon as she picked it up, she realized it contained vitality stones. "You need them. This is also some compensation from the Security Department. We'll see you in half a month. Then you and Wang Qiusheng together will lead some members of the Security Department to the human corridor defense line." Dou Qingzhi prevented Qu Yi from returning the cloth bag. After seeing off Dou Qingzhi and Wang Qiusheng, Qu Yonghe, somewhat anxious, looked at Qu Yi and said, "Yi Yi, you've only been cultivating for a few months, no matter how powerful the techniques Mr. Ding taught you, it's only been half a year." Qu Yi looked at her parents, "Dad, Mom, I know you're worried about me. But if everyone thinks the way I do, then who will guard the front line? Who will protect us? Sooner or later, fierce beasts will come to our doorstep." ... Ding Huan looked at the two bottles of Genetic Potion in his hands, heaving a long sigh of relief. Even the great devouring method of useless gene fragments struggled to extract the Eye of the Great Wilderness gene from the Great Wilderness Golden Ape. Fortunately, he succeeded, although it took quite some time. "Hey, you're still alive?" Ding Huan turned to see the little thing he had tossed aside earlier, which was astonishingly still moving its eyes. The food and water set before it were gone. Ding Huan's Divine Will then sensed Kong Dan at the door; he opened it. Carrying a box of food, Kong Dan excitedly said, "Mr. Ding, you finally came out." "Clean up inside for me. I'm going to take a shower and then continue with the experiment. Oh, and give that little thing some water and food to eat, just keep it in here." Ding Huan patted Kong Dan. Kong Dan had perseverance and a good temperament; once the gene experiment was finished, Ding Huan planned to help Kong Dan upgrade his physical condition—take him on as another disciple. Kong Dan was overjoyed, "Mr. Ding, rest assured, I will definitely clean it spotlessly." ... Back in his quarters, Ding Huan first took a shower and ate something. Then he took out a bottle of the Eye of the Great Wilderness Genetic Potion. Upon swallowing the Eye of the Great Wilderness gene, Ding Huan immediately felt a burning rush to his eyes. It felt like both eyes were enveloped in warm water; Ding Huan quickly took out the herbal medicine and ate it raw. As far as Ding Huan was concerned, even if the Great Wilderness Golden Ape were to use this herb, it would have to be consumed raw; there was no other way. After swallowing the herb, Ding Huan felt the heat in his eyes rise again, as if warm water was continuously pouring over them. This was somewhat different from what Ding Huan had expected; he knew about the Eye of the Great Wilderness. He was also aware that the Eye of the Great Wilderness was actually the third eye of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape, which should have appeared on the forehead. Now that he fused the Eye of the Great Wilderness Genetic Potion, his forehead showed no reaction, but his eyes did. An hour later, his eyes returned to normal, and Ding Huan looked around—everything seemed clearer, although this could be a placebo effect. In reality, he didn't sense any change.
