238: Seventeen-year-old hero
A bounty order shocked the world.
While causing a huge stir online, some people who had interacted with Jiang Yuan in reality were also alarmed at the same time.
Imperial Capital, Royal City Garrison Command.
Bei Mingxue, wearing a white shirt and black pants that outlined her long legs, sat behind her desk, holding a cup of coffee, preparing to handle today's official duties.
Suddenly, she saw the information that popped up.
She paused slightly, "Shirakawa... Yuan?"
The young woman, who had reached such a high position at the age of just 29, couldn't help but stand up, look out the window, and murmur, "Could it be him?"
...Imperial Capital's Pharmacist Guild Headquarters.
This was an extremely magnificent clock tower-style building, covered inside and out by over a dozen layers of barriers.
The entire structure was made of high-grade crystal iron, incredibly grand, luxurious to the extreme.
The people coming and going were all wearing high-level magic robes, either high-level Martial Artists or high-level Elementalist.
Even high-level pharmacists, who were extremely rare outside, seemed quite common here.
"Tap, tap, tap."
The crisp sound of high heels clicking against the crystal floor came, and soon reached a door.
A young woman with pink curly hair gently knocked on the door.
A woman's voice came from inside the door.
"Come in."
The door opened to both sides.
The woman with pink curly hair walked in, placed the items she was holding onto the table, and respectfully said, "President Luo, these are the Materials prepared for the new medicine.
The R&D department said they would like you to look over them first."
Luo Ningyan, with short purple hair, skin like snow, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and exuding an aura of cold beauty, said without lifting her head, "I understand."
Suddenly, a message popped up.
Luo Ningyan's delicate hand swiped across the information box in front of her.
The woman with pink curly hair noticed that she seemed to have seen something, her body trembled, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she involuntarily stood up from her seat.
Her purple eyes, which made even Luo Yu, another woman, feel captivated, were filled with excitement and surprise.
The woman with pink curly hair, named Luo Yu, couldn't help but feel a little curious.
This Deputy Guild Leader Luo, a Rank Nine Psychokinesis Master, who was specially selected and transferred from a branch, seemed to have never experienced such a great emotional fluctuation since she met her.
What on earth did she see to have such a big reaction?
After Luo Yu left.
Luo Ningyan, who had rubbed the corner of her eyes, sat down again, looked out the window, and a smile appeared on her beautiful and captivating face.
"You are indeed still alive."
"You even ran off to Japan and used the alias Shirakawa... You're really reckless."
Thinking of the young man she could never forget, the smile on her face became even more radiant and charming, making anyone who saw it feel captivated.
"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead."
"If Xi'er knew, she would definitely be very happy..."
"After all, during the time you were gone, she was very sad..."
...Shenwu Academy.
In a Psychokinesis Secret Realm, Luo Xi, with purple hair and a purple dress, her eyes emitting a strange spiritual light, floated expressionlessly in the air.
Facing the attack of a swarm of mental giant insects, she waved her hand, and countless purple arrows appeared behind her, shooting out.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
Deep within the Psychokinesis Secret Realm, a small and slender white-haired figure sitting on a sea of colorful clouds took a sip from a wine gourd and let out a crisp female voice, "Hmm, she's already Rank Four, not bad."
"If she can reach Rank Five, she might be able to pass the selection, but it will be a bit difficult."
Suddenly, Luo Xi's attack paused.
A large swarm of mental giant insects swarmed over.
The white-haired figure frowned, her eyes flashed, and a white strand of hair swept through the swarm like the sharpest blade in the world, annihilating all the giant insects.
Shenwu Academy's Mental System Professor, Professor Song Yun, Quasi-King.
"What's wrong?" Professor Song Yun came before Luo Xi and asked in confusion, "You actually got distracted?
That's not like you."
Luo Xi, however, seemed not to have heard, staring blankly at the information box in front of her, or more accurately, at the image inside, murmuring to herself, "I knew it... I knew it..."
"How could the strongest you die so simply?"
Crystal clear tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes.
It was a laugh of joy mixed with tears.
This was the first time Professor Song Yun had seen Luo Xi like this.
Perhaps this was also the first time she, who was called the "Purple Witch" by countless new students, had smiled since enrolling.
...In an Abyss instance dungeon at Shenwu Academy.
The deepest lava zone had turned into a glacier.
A Rank Six Lord-level Lava Earth Dragon was completely frozen.
A graceful figure stood before it, black hair fluttering, wearing a slightly oversized white robe with wide sleeves billowing, exuding cold air.
Her exquisite small face carried an aura of dominance over the world.
After seeing the message, her ice-blue eyes flickered, first showing slight surprise, then her lips curved upwards slightly.
"You went into the Abyss, faced an Abyss Monarch directly, and still managed to escape safely..."
"You fellow, you really are a monster beyond my imagination..."
"Jiang Yuan."
If students from Shenwu Academy were to see this, they would undoubtedly be extremely surprised.
Lin Qingyan, the "Ice Empress" who had dominated the new students of Shenwu Academy and aimed her sword at high-level prodigies just one month after enrollment, actually showed such an expression.
Lin Qingyan looked up at the sky, the image of a young man appearing before her eyes, and murmured with some anticipation, "Rank Seven already..."
"As expected of you."
"Only you are worthy of being my opponent."
"I let you steal all the spotlight in South River City, but I won't stand still either."
"In our next match, I will be the winner."
She turned and left, preparing to exchange for an awakening stone to complete the Awakening of her third talent.
Otherwise, with her current strength as a Rank Five Martial Artist, she would definitely not be a match for that guy.
Previously in South River City, Jiang Yuan's actions had completely shattered the arrogance and conceit of her, a reincarnated Empress.
But it also made her secretly make a decision in her heart.
As long as she seized the opportunity and won just once.
Then she would return all the failures she had suffered!
She had to properly press him down!
And thus regain the invincible will that belonged to a reincarnated Empress.
As for the method.
She would just make him wear women's clothes once... It would suit him anyway.
Thinking of this.
Lin Qingyan's lips couldn't help but curve upwards again.
At this moment, her will and state were more vigorous and surging than ever before.
...A small gravity chamber at Shenwu Academy.
"Hoo..." Mo Xixi, wearing training clothes, let out a long breath, steam rising from her entire body.
The young girl had her hair in a ponytail, a trace of her youthfulness had faded, and her eyes held a hint of determination.
"This isn't right.
Your left foot needs to move forward an inch, blood qi vibration..."
Guan Xiaoxiao, who had become a mechanical life form, stood before Mo Xixi.
The young girl was slender and small, with short black hair and fair skin.
Aside from some crystal tissue on her body, she looked no different from a normal girl.
Deep within her jade-like pupils, data analysis of each of Mo Xixi's current moves appeared, providing her with timely guidance and correction.
Yan Runan, with her eyes covered by black silk, sat nearby eating pastries.
Mo Xixi's talent was slowly starting to reveal itself.
Although she hadn't awakened her talent yet, her blood qi had already surpassed 30 points, making her a Martial Practitioner.
She was only 15 years old this year, and her Martial Skills were also slowly improving...
Although she was still far from being comparable to that person...
Thinking of the young man with a pair of brilliant eyes.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, emotion, and complexity.
Since the Era of God Abandonment, there have been many heroes in the world.
When danger arrived, they turned the tide and were willing to sacrifice themselves.
But... when had there ever been a hero so young, so powerful, with such firm resolve, and only seventeen years old?
