When Jack respectfully handed over his communication device, the situation had already become largely unrelated to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu himself did not have a strong desire to return to Huaxia. Kuang Liu’s desire to return to Huaxia might be slightly stronger than Wen Yu’s, but without Wen Yu, or more accurately, without Star, it would be difficult for Kuang Liu to run back to Huaxia on his own legs—speed wasn't the issue; the challenge was the mutated beasts obstructing the way.
As a divine beast species, Star could traverse more than half the globe. While it posed some difficulty, it was not an unimaginable feat.
As for what the two should do next, it depended on the outcome of Kuang Liu's communication with Lin Haifeng. Of course, this process required several steps of communication transfer, which would definitely waste some time.
At that moment, Wen Yu was completely captivated by the small booklet that Jack had taken out.
The booklet was exquisitely printed, with the title: standingonthetopoftheworld (Standing at the Top of the World).
Wen Yu applied everything he had learned to barely understand the title of this small booklet. Then, on the next page, there was a large preface written in English...
This was a bit awkward. Fortunately, the booklet was rich in illustrations, and Wen Yu had at least undergone nine years of compulsory education, so he could piece together some basic English phrases like “is, am, are”.
The preface of the book roughly introduced some information about the origins and significance of the rankings.
Then, Wen Yu turned to the next page, and a huge question mark appeared before him, accompanied by some introductions below.
“Sequence One: Nationality: Unknown!”
“Gender: Unknown.”
“Name: Unknown.”
“Strength Level: Unknown.”
Everything was unknown, indicating that the military of various countries had no knowledge of Sequence One's circumstances. This left Wen Yu feeling somewhat regretful.
He wanted to see what kind of monster overshadowed him in strength.
The next page was about Wen Yu himself. A large photo of Wen Yu was prominently displayed, taken in what appeared to be a forward base; the clarity was quite good.
At the same time, there was a large amount of text introducing him.
“Sequence Two: Nationality: Huaxia! Lone Walker!”
“Gender: Male.”
“Name: Wen Yu.”
“Strength Level: Early Stage Level Five.”
The remaining content was about his achievements, such as some contributions at the forward base, which Wen Yu couldn’t quite comprehend.
However, this strength level should be from a month ago. If assessing only by physical fitness, Wen Yu was already a solid peak Level Five practitioner now.
The third page featured Kuang Liu himself.
The fourth page displayed a middle-aged man whom Wen Yu had never seen before.
The photo was taken from a dark angle, making it hard to discern clearly, but it appeared to be in a small church. A middle-aged man dressed in a black priest's outfit was sitting in a reclining chair at the church entrance, engrossed in reading a large book.
“Sequence Four: Nationality: France! Lone Walker!”
“Gender: Male.”
“Name: Caius.”
“Strength: Early Stage Level Five.”
“Seven days ago, he cooperated with Sequence Ten to kill two early-stage demonic entities in the Infernal Treasure Land. At that time, Sequence Ten's strength was only mid-stage Level Four.”
There was a lot more historical performance listed below, but the first line was obviously the latest, and it could roughly indicate the latest strength of Sequence Four.
His strength was decent.
Wen Yu quickly skimmed through the subsequent sequences.
Sequence Five: Claire. Gender: Female. Nationality: United States. Affiliated with the military!
Sequence Six: Unknown.
Sequence Seven: Arcade. Gender: Male. Nationality: United Kingdom. Lone Walker!
Sequence Eight: Fang Bai. Gender: Male. Nationality: Huaxia. Affiliated with the military!
Sequence Nine: Michelle. Gender: Male. Nationality: Germany. Affiliated with the military!
