96: The Education Bureau gave a gift, a combat-ready air shuttle - Black Crow!

The invisible Black Curse pathogens spread within the Posuo River and dispersed with the heavy rain to thousands of households in the two cities of Beijiang City and South River City.

Jiang Yuan knew nothing about this matter.

He picked up Tao Chunru and brought her back to the South River City home of his maternal aunt, and Jiang's father, Jiang Damu, had also been transferred back to the city.

The family of three welcomed a long-awaited reunion.

Jiang Damu's jaw had already dropped once when he learned about the situation in the military, but upon seeing Jiang Yuan again, he still found it somewhat hard to believe.

"You, are you really Brother Yuan?!"

The black-haired youth before him was more than half a head taller than the son in his memory, with a straight and tall figure. His entire body's Aura was even more surging and powerful than a military commander's, making him practically a different person compared to before.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You can't even recognize your own son?"

Tao Yufeng teased, "I think your dad has been in the army until he's gone silly."

Tao Chunru stroked Jiang Yuan's arm and exclaimed, "I don't blame your dad for not recognizing you. I was also startled when I first saw you; the change is truly too huge. Look at these muscles, what on earth have you all been feeding him, Yufeng?"

Tao Yufeng and Mo Lingfeng exchanged glances and smiled bitterly, "We really didn't do anything. Brother Yuan being able to have what he has today is truly the result of his own hard work."

It was hard work, that's right.

It was just the result of working hard with the help of a cheat.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

"Brother Yuan, are you even stronger than our teacher now?" Mo Xixi asked, hanging onto Jiang Yuan's arm.

"I don't know about that. What Realm is your teacher?"

"Fourth Order."

"Then I should be stronger."

Hearing this, Mo Xixi became even more excited and thrilled, "Awesome, too awesome!!"

"Fourth Order..."

Jiang Damu couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Among several people present, he was probably the one who best understood the power of a Fourth-Order Class-Transferred Martial Artist.

A Fourth-Order Class-Transferred Martial Artist was already considered intermediate, enough to squeeze into the edge of upper society. Relying solely on the badge of a Fourth-Order Martial Artist, one could receive a subsidy of 50,000 yuan from the Martial Artist Association every month, join the army to serve as the leader of a hundred-man squad, and some guilds could even offer an annual salary of 5 million to recruit Fourth-Order Class-Transferred Martial Artists.

Facing such an expert, he could only look up in awe and reverence, without even the qualifications to try to build a relationship with the other party.

And now...

His own son, at seventeen years old, had actually already reached this level.

Thinking of this,

Jiang Damu couldn't help trembling all over with excitement. As if he had drunk fake wine, his legs went weak and he couldn't even walk straight.

After a full long while,

he finally recovered his wits, grinning foolishly.

"Ha, hahahaha... Ancestors bless us, truly the ancestors bless us! My Jiang family has also produced a Prodigy, and it's even Jiang Damu's son!!"

"Hahahaha..."

The family ate the reunion feast amidst laughter and cheers. The Materials were part of the Vicious Beast meat left behind by Jiang Yuan. While the taste was extremely excellent, it also contained a massive amount of nutrition.

At the dining table, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

Mo Xixi listened to Jiang Yuan talk about the Vicious Beasts in the instance dungeon, jumping in surprise every now and then, and listened with complete fascination.

Jiang's father was filled with deep emotion.

Mother Jiang secretly wiped away her tears.

On one hand, she felt proud of her son.

On the other hand, she felt regretful for not being able to witness her son's growth with her own eyes, and felt guilty for not being able to accompany him by his side.

Fortunately, everything was good now.

"Dad, Mom, I plan to apply for Divine Martial University."

Jiang Yuan stated his intention to go to Divine Martial University to his blood-related family members before him.

Jiang's father and Mother Jiang naturally had no objections.

Even among the four top martial arts universities, Divine Martial University was a top-tier institution of higher learning second to none.

But when they heard Jiang Yuan say that he hoped they and his maternal aunt's family could also go to the Imperial Capital with him,

the two of them hesitated.

"Your mom and I don't have much ability. Going to the Imperial Capital with you would only hold you back."

"That's right, and I still have work to do."

"Sister, brother-in-law, staying here with your safety unguarded is what truly holds Brother Yuan back and prevents him from setting his mind at ease, alright?" Tao Yufeng said.

"Besides, you've toiled for a lifetime. Now that the child has made something of himself, it's about time you enjoy some blessings."

Jiang's father and Mother Jiang were somewhat conflicted.

Mo Lingfeng also said, "Actually, some strange things have also happened around us recently. If not for the protection of the Patrol Division, I'm afraid our family would have been attacked long ago. What if one day you guys are captured by villains to threaten Brother Yuan... This is really no joke."

Mother Jiang's expression changed slightly, and Jiang's father also began to waver.

Finally, Jiang Yuan told them about the incident on the aerial railway.

After learning that such a thrilling situation had occurred,

Jiang's father and Mother Jiang were terribly frightened, their faces turning pale instantly. Finally, they stopped insisting and agreed to quit their jobs and go to the Imperial Capital together.

...

That afternoon,

Yun Zaiye, the deputy director of the Education Bureau, visited in person, bringing a series of rewards such as a combat-grade air shuttle and Advanced scrolls.

As the deputy director of the Provincial Education Bureau, this was the first time Jiang's father and Mother Jiang had ever seen such a big figure. They were so frightened that they were at a loss and didn't even dare to sit down.

The air shuttle, over twenty meters long, pitch-black all over, and with an incomparably cool design, hovered silently above the roof, attracting residential community residents downstairs to stop and watch, taking crazy photos.

"Holy cow! What model of air shuttle is this? Isn't it too handsome?!"

"I've never seen it on the market."

"That building seems to be the one where the national top scorer came from, right? Could this be a reward from the Education Bureau?"

"Holy cow! An air shuttle worth hundreds of millions is given away just like that?!"

"I'm dying of envy."

"Stop talking, I'm going home right now to beat my son."

...

"Combat-Grade Air Shuttle - Black Crow, 26.66 meters long, 8.43 meters wide, equipped with a Level 3 Destruction Beam whose power is sufficient to kill a sixth-order Vicious Beast. Its maximum speed per second can reach 3,000 meters. Crafted from Advanced alloy, flying out of the stratosphere is a piece of cake. In addition, it is equipped with a top-tier defensive shield that can withstand a blow from a ninth-order Vicious Beast, along with stealth, detection avoidance, and more... This is the operation crystal. After leaving your DNA on it, this air shuttle will be your exclusive possession." Yun Zaiye smiled and handed over the crystal.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Yun." Jiang Yuan expressed his gratitude and dripped blood onto the crystal.

Countless streams of light instantly lit up along the complex textured lines on the pitch-black air shuttle on the roof.

Jiang Yuan also felt a hint of a connection, and the next second, an AI's smart voice sounded in his ear.

[Ding! DNA binding successful]

[Hello, Master. Black Crow assistant Xiaohei is at your service. Do you have any instructions?]

Jiang Yuan looked toward Yun Zaiye.

"This air shuttle was specially built by the country for top talents. It can drive automatically or be remotely activated by thought. As long as it's not more than ten thousand meters away, you can make it come to your side instantly with just a single thought." Yun Zaiye smiled and said.

"So convenient?!" Jiang Yuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

The biggest problem with the air shuttle was that it couldn't be stored into the System warehouse and couldn't be carried around, but if it could be summoned with a thought, that would be extremely convenient.

"These are ten Advanced supplements and ten Advanced scrolls, as well as a 30-million bank card. You can use and manage them as you please." After handing over the items, Yun Zaiye looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled, "Student Jiang Yuan, Director Bai thinks very highly of you. He hopes you will keep up the good work and not let him down."

"Thank you, Director Bai. I will."

"Deputy Director Yun, have some tea." Tao Chunru brought over a cup of tea.

Yun Zaiye expressed thanks, took a sip, and praised, "Very good tea."

Mother Jiang instantly wore a relaxed smile on her face.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. I still have to make a trip to see several other examinees."

"Right, Student Jiang Yuan, have you considered which martial arts university you want to go to?"

"Barring any accidents, it should be Divine Martial."

"Divine Martial, not bad, not bad. I heard that most top scorers from other provinces this year have also chosen Divine Martial. You should be able to run into some interesting opponents after enrollment." Yun Zaiye smiled and said.

Before leaving, Yun Zaiye said a sentence to Jiang Yuan, or rather, a piece of advice.

"I've heard about the matter on the aerial railway. You did very well, but still, pay attention to safety. This is also your first lesson after leaving school. No one can protect you forever, and no one will remember a dead Genius, no matter how dazzling and eye-catching they are..."
