30: Yu Xiu, I hope we can achieve each other

“Brother Lin, I don’t know if you’ve noticed something, but Yu Xiu seems to also have a Psychic Talent.”

“What about Psychic Talent? He’s always had it, hasn’t he!”

“It’s not recorded in the data. I specifically looked at Yu Xiu’s data before; he’s a One-Star Great Grandmaster, and there’s no mention of any Talent.”

Hearing this, Brother Lin’s expression immediately turned serious as he said, “This matter must never be told to anyone else. Since it’s not recorded in the data, it means Yu Xiu deliberately concealed it. Let’s just pretend we didn’t see anything today.”

“No, Brother Lin, what I actually wanted to say is that Yu Xiu might have more than one Talent. I observed traces of Speed Talent in his movements earlier; I’m sure of it.”

“Speed Talent?” Brother Lin frowned, “You yourself are a Speed Talent possessor, so it’s reasonable that you could tell.”

“Psychic Talent is A-grade, and Speed Talent is B-grade. So, Yu Xiu alone possesses two Talents, one A-grade and one B-grade?”

“It’s not like that, Brother Lin. To be precise, Yu Xiu possesses an S-grade Talent.”

“What do you mean?” Brother Lin couldn’t help but frown deeply.

“Previously, Psychic Talent was originally S-grade, but because Martial Artists and Mind Power Masters couldn’t advance simultaneously, Psychic Talent possessors couldn’t Breakthrough to Grandmaster.”

“This led to Psychic Talent possessors only being able to serve as ranged attackers, with very weak close-combat abilities. You can think of them as mages in a game. It’s precisely because of this that Psychic Talent was downgraded.”

“But now, Yu Xiu not only possesses Psychic Talent, but his strength is also that of a Great Grandmaster, which is why I say he is an S-grade Talent possessor.”

“Holy cow, an S-grade Talent possessor?” Brother Lin said incredulously, “Are you sure you’re talking about the S-grade Talent that only has eighteen categories, known as the World-Ending Talent?”

“That’s right, World-Ending Talent. Yu Xiu has Psychic Talent for long-range attacks, and his own Martial Dao strength for close combat. It can be said that Yu Xiu himself is an all-around warrior.”

“I’ve even heard that the further one progresses in the Martial Dao Realm, the more inherent advantages S-grade Talent possessors have. I’m not sure what those advantages are, but this matter is absolutely true.”

Brother Lin frowned, “Then we should even less disclose Yu Xiu’s Talent, otherwise, it’s easy to offend people.”

“That guy Yu Xiu has such a strong killing intent. If he gets annoyed, we might die unjustly, and the higher-ups won’t bother with it.”

“Alright, let’s not follow Yu Xiu anymore. To be safe, we’ll just go to the places Yu Xiu passed by every once in a while and collect the bodies.”

“I think so too.”

The two reached a consensus and no longer mentioned a word about Yu Xiu, instead diligently cleaning up the bodies on the ground.

After all, this is a forest with many Vicious Beasts. The Genius Training Camp allows students to fight each other, but absolutely forbids students’ bodies from being used as food by Vicious Beasts.

Furthermore, if too many bodies accumulate and are not dealt with, it can easily lead to epidemics.

…

On the other side.

Yu Xiu, however, encountered an acquaintance: his childhood friend, Xiao Wan.

At this moment, Xiao Wan no longer had her previous innocence and arrogance. Her long black hair had now been cut short.

Her skin was dark and rough, and most notably, there was a three-centimeter scar on her left cheek, which looked like a knife scar.

“Yu Xiu, long time no see.”

Xiao Wan saw Yu Xiu, and there was no hatred or joy in her eyes; instead, her gaze was very calm, like a clear pool of water.

“Yu Xiu?”

The students following behind Xiao Wan were all startled when they heard this name.

Yu Xiu’s name is now famous not only among the official students of the Genius Training Camp but also in the Pre-selection class.

Everyone knows that there is a great Devil King in this Genius Training Camp, named Yu Xiu, a sixteen-year-old Great Grandmaster expert.

Here in the forest, anyone who has any connection with Yu Xiu is basically not dared to be provoked.

“Actually, speaking of which, I should thank you. After coming to the forest, in order to survive, I used your name to avoid being bullied, which gave me time to develop.”

Xiao Wan chuckled, “Even though everyone knows that before entering the Training Camp, I cried and begged you for help, but you ignored me.”

“But they didn’t dare to gamble. After all, my title as your childhood friend is real. They didn’t dare to gamble whether we were having a conflict or if we had truly broken up.”

“Heh heh, that’s human nature.”

“Of course, I also envy Yang Duling. Everyone is spreading rumors that she might be your girlfriend, but I know Yang Duling isn’t, yet I didn’t explain.”

“Just like my title as your childhood friend, no one believes an explanation, and no one dares to gamble.”

“Fortunately, I now have this group of brothers behind me, and my current strength has also Broken Through to a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist, not far from Eighth-Rank.”

“I believe we will meet again in the Genius Training Camp soon.”

Yu Xiu remained silent throughout, listening quietly. In fact, he was also very curious about Xiao Wan’s current transformation.

Although Xiao Wan’s gaze was calm, Yu Xiu could see the madness in her eyes.

Apparently, she had killed many people.

“Thank you. I was too selfish before.” Seeing Yu Xiu about to leave, Xiao Wan said sincerely, “I’m apologizing not to ask for your forgiveness, but to set my own mind at ease.”

“In this forest, perhaps one day I’ll be exposed in the wilderness. I hope that at that time, you can, on my behalf, say sorry to my father and mother.”

“This is the reward!”

At this point, Xiao Wan threw a black jade pendant towards Yu Xiu.

“This jade pendant might be related to the ruins deep within Wu Mountain.”

As her voice faded, Xiao Wan turned and left, not caring whether Yu Xiu would catch it.

Clang!

The jade pendant fell at Yu Xiu’s feet.

He stopped, used his Psychic Talent, and picked up the black jade pendant from a distance.

Then, he walked away without looking back.

…

After walking for a while, Xiao Wan suddenly asked, “Did the person I asked you to monitor leave the Genius Training Camp?”

“Mo Ce?”

“Sister Xiao, when Yu Xiu left the Genius Training Camp earlier, Mo Ce was always paying attention to Yu Xiu, but he didn’t follow him out.”

Xiao Wan said coldly, “Find a way to lure him out and take him out.”

“Take… take him out?”

“But Mo Ce is someone arranged by the organization, and he’s also the person in charge of our area. If we take him out, once the organization finds out, we might…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take full responsibility for this. It absolutely won’t implicate any of you.”

Her subordinate asked in confusion, “Sister Xiao, is it because of Yu Xiu? But how did he treat you before? If it weren’t for the organization’s help, we probably would have died here already.”

Slap!

Xiao Wan slapped him backhanded and snorted coldly, “It wasn’t the organization that saved you, it was I, Xiao Wan, who saved you, understand?”

“Understood!”

Xiao Wan said coldly, “No matter what method you use, poisoning or ambush, Mo Ce must die.”

After her subordinate left with the others, Xiao Wan looked in the direction Yu Xiu had left and muttered to herself, “Yu Xiu, I’m helping you this time, let’s just consider it a mutual achievement! I need power, and you probably don’t want to be bothered by rats either!”
