“This kind of guild that treats people differently is kind of disgusting!”
“And they don’t even dare to do it openly.”
“My intuition tells me this isn’t a good guild.”
As Su Aoxue said this, she tossed the business card to Shen Yan.
The fact that they were manipulating things behind the scenes right in front of her made Su Aoxue very upset.
Although Su Aoxue understood that it was ultimately because her publicly displayed talent potential was only A-rank, and she was a complete nobody with no background.
This seemed to be the attitude of these impersonal large guilds; they didn’t care about small fries like them at all.
If she hadn’t obtained the Power of Glacial Calamity, she would probably be one of those being ignored right now, right?
No, she wouldn’t even have the chance to be ignored. Without the Power of Glacial Calamity, she would have already died during that Abyssal invasion a few days ago…
This matter seemed to have touched Su Aoxue’s heart, and her mood became a bit low for a moment.
After tossing the business card to Shen Yan, she casually said, “It’s worth a hundred million in benefits. Are you going?”
Shen Yan shook his head. After confirming that Silence had activated normally, he said, “I have no intention of joining a guild, and I don’t need to join one.”
“You don’t need to either.”
Su Aoxue looked at Shen Yan upon hearing this, stunned for a moment.
After knowing that Shen Yan wasn’t tempted by these things, Su Aoxue’s mood was inexplicably complicated.
It was that feeling of worrying that your buddy might actually get a luxury car, yet also worrying that he couldn’t afford one.
After being stunned for a good while, she belatedly gave a thumbs up: “Words of a big shot!”
“I forgot you have memories of your past life; your standards must be high…”
“But I really don’t need to join any other guilds either.” Su Aoxue said with implication.
But Shen Yan slowly said at this moment, “I’m serious. There’s no need to join a guild. Guilds are under the control of the Martial Arts Association, but later on, they’ll all be placed under military control.”
“It won’t be long, and I even feel that in this life, it will come sooner.”
“Let’s just enlist in the military directly. That’ll put us a huge step ahead of others.”
“Uh… so that’s how it is?”
Hearing Shen Yan’s explanation, Su Aoxue showed a surprised expression.
She had thought that Shen Yan, relying on his identity as a Reborn, would start his own faction and create a guild to invite her to join.
She didn’t expect there to be more to it.
But compared to guilds, the military seemed much fairer.
After the two chatted for a while longer, Shen Yan’s parents reached an agreement with Ling Feng.
At that moment, Shen’s father called out to Su Aoxue and Shen Yan, “It’s getting late. We need to hurry and buy equipment. We’re setting off this afternoon.”
Meanwhile, in the city hall meeting room on the other side.
As Chen Xun’s secretary, he represented all members of Base City No. 2568, who had fled here, and participated in this meeting.
At the main seat, the mayor of this base city said in a deep voice, “Yesterday, a group of refugees from another base city arrived. Base city serial number 2568, about 5 days’ drive from us.”
“According to this representative’s account, the crisis they encountered was different from usual. It wasn’t an attack from Abyssal creatures, but a City-Exterminating Disaster level Gray Mist Tide!”
“A City-Exterminating Disaster level Gray Mist Tide! Our area here is deep in the rear. There’s no way a Gray Mist creature of that level could cross the core base’s blockade and come to the rear.”
“Then there’s only one possibility: those two Commander-rank Gray Mist creatures that caused this City-Exterminating Disaster evolved naturally.”
“Combined with the recent anomalous events regarding Gray Mist creatures in our base city, I declare that from today onward, the number of patrols by the Hunt Team will increase, and the number of Hunt Team members will increase.”
“Always remain vigilant of changes in the surrounding Gray Mist creatures!”
“Prevent the tragedy of our ally Base City No. 2568 from happening to us again.”
“At the same time, I will allocate some resources to report this to the Sub-Core Base City.”
After purchasing equipment, fully prepared, Su Aoxue, wearing a special combat suit, sat in the driver’s seat of the car.
In front of her car was a large group of cars waiting to start.
The people in these cars were all newcomers preparing to go to the Sub-Core Base City to participate in the Martial Arts Academy assessment.
Soon, the convoy was ready to set off towards the Sub-Core Base City.
However, before they could even leave the base city, a urgent and familiar voice sounded.
The Dome Barrier was instantly illuminated by a yellow warning light.
“Yellow Alert?”
Seeing this, Su Aoxue was dumbfounded, her mood instantly sinking to rock bottom.
Disasters always come so suddenly.
Just then, Su Aoxue distinctly felt a numbing vibration under her bottom.
This scene was so familiar that Su Aoxue’s eyes widened.
“Not good, this feeling is… Abyssal creatures!”
In an instant, a painful memory from a few days ago surged into her mind.
Su Aoxue quickly looked at her mother and younger sister in the back seat: “Quick, get out of the car!”
The next moment, Su Aoxue rushed out of the car, went to her family, and shielded them.
The Power of Glacial Calamity condensed in Su Aoxue’s hand.
At this time, Ling Feng, noticing the problem, also flew to the area above Su Aoxue’s position.
During this time, the ground began to crack over a large area.
A strong stench from deep underground wafted over.
“It’s an Abyssal invasion! Everyone, spread out and leave the collapsed ground area!”
The S-class squad leader shouted loudly.
His voice spread across the entire flat area.
Then, a thunderous power began to flow from his palm.
Soon, the sound of wriggling and ground tearing could be heard.
A giant worm burst through the surface instantly, coming to the surface and attacking the crowd.
But within a few seconds of its rampage, it was instantly killed by a nearby A-rank martial artist.
“This is a Level 3 worm-type Abyssal creature!”
“It’s highly likely a Local Disaster Level Abyssal invasion!”
During this time, countless Abyssal creatures began to crawl out from underground onto the surface.
Fortunately, the place where the Abyssal invasion occurred was the heavily guarded city gate area.
Not only were there newcomers waiting for the assessment here, but also a large number of escort personnel.
Their strength was not weak, and they quickly killed all the low-level Abyssal creatures that emerged from the surface.
Even Elite-level Abyssal creatures were killed soon after emerging.
Soon, the underground became eerily silent.
This sudden Abyssal invasion seemed like a small interlude.
But just as everyone thought so, the ground began to shake violently again.
A large chunk of ground was flung up in an instant.
A massive figure emerged from underground—clearly an enlarged version of the worm.
Accompanying it were countless Elite-level Abyss Worms.
“It’s a Commander-rank Abyssal creature!”
With a cry of surprise,
the S-class squad immediately charged forward to block this worm from underground.
At the same time, Shen Yan, who had emerged from the shadows of a corner, looked in shock at the suddenly appearing Abyss Worm, extremely bewildered: “Its target… is really me?”
