CHAPTER TEXT:
After the conclusion of the mission, it was good news that Luo Fei's injuries were no longer serious. However, it was getting late, so Chen Chu left the hospital after chatting with her for a while.
Driving back to the base a few kilometers away, Chen Chu had just gotten out of the car when he encountered a familiar face.
A few meters away, An Fuqing, dressed in black and red battle armor and tall in stature, stepped down from a modified SUV without wearing a helmet.
When Chen Chu noticed her, the girl also noticed him. She paused briefly and nodded in acknowledgment, saying, “Chen Chu, I remember you, but you went to Lestrol City.”
There were nearly fifty classes in the first year of Southern Heaven Martial High, and they were not in the same class. An Fuqing's impression of Chen Chu was based on him being ranked 49th in the freshman ranking competition.
After all, he was the only freshman who made it into the top fifty using low-level techniques. She was somewhat surprised when she heard her classmates talk about it at the time.
A smile appeared on Chen Chu's face. “I didn't expect to see you here, Classmate An. Just returned from a mission?”
“Yes, I was tracking a fanatic from the cult of the giant god in the early stage of four heavens,” An Fuqing replied. Her demeanor was somewhat calm, but not as aloof as one might imagine.
As they spoke, the two walked side by side towards the base building.
“I saw you in the trial group this morning. Iray mentioned that you came from Lestrol yesterday and killed that blood envoy last night.”
The girl turned her head slightly, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “Can you tell me how you found that person?”
After Lin Xue's team was attacked, many had searched the city the next day. She had also planned to see if she could find that blood envoy after returning.
Not to mention that everyone came from the same school; the value of 30 contribution points alone piqued many people's interest.
However, that person had a strong ability to conceal himself, and no one had found any trace of him all day. Therefore, everyone believed the blood envoy had already escaped from Kailya.
Chen Chu thought for a moment. “It has to do with my technique. I have cultivated to a state called mind's eye, which allows me to keenly sense hostile and malicious gazes around me.”
“After speculating that the blood envoy might be hiding near the hospital, I deliberately circled around the hospital, and the battle armor of a special forces soldier indeed caught his attention.”
“Using my sight, I was able to pinpoint his location, and then it was simple.”
An Fuqing suddenly turned to look at Chen Chu, her expression sharp, with a hint of a terrifying sword intent swirling in her eyes. “The heart eye realm! That technique called mind's eye bright blade?”
“This technique is so famous?” Chen Chu was somewhat surprised by her reaction.
“Of course.”
The terrifying sword intent in An Fuqing's eyes slowly retracted. “Although this technique is low-level, it became widely known over a decade ago because of a person named Xiao Tianyi.”
“It’s a pity that it’s too difficult to cultivate, and gradually, nobody paid attention to it. I didn’t expect Classmate Chen to cultivate it to the third layer of realm where you can lock onto an opponent’s position through their gaze.”
Chen Chu modestly replied, “Not at all, it was just luck.”
An Fuqing shook her head. “That’s not luck. The fact that you could cultivate the mind's eye to the third layer indicates a high level of comprehension in techniques related to the mind and intention.”
“I didn’t expect Classmate An to know so much about mind's eye bright blade.”
“I exchanged for it before, but unfortunately, this technique doesn't suit me.”
As they spoke, the two reached the base building. Since An Fuqing still had to hand over the mission, Chen Chu continued towards the back where the cafeteria was located.
Once inside the base, everywhere he looked, he saw trial participants dressed in battle armor. Because of this, Chen Chu, wearing military attire, stood out even more.
