"Interesting." Bailuo laughed immediately, looking towards Lin Qi not far away. "I didn't expect the suburban forces now to be so capable, daring to challenge a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist with such rich Qi and Blood. No wonder there are so many genius martial artists signing up for the Genius Training Camp this year."

"Deputy Leader, those four major forces don't have such courage, I'm afraid they don't even know that Hall Master Lin is a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist," Morton said awkwardly. "Even I just realized it, the measuring equipment previously indicated that Hall Master Lin was only a High-tier Martial Artist."

"The measuring equipment showed him as a High-tier Martial Artist?" Bailuo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "It seems the testing equipment needs a good upgrade. Not to mention his rich Qi and Blood have already reached the Bone Forging Realm, just a while ago, the Martial Artist Association certified this Hall Master Lin as a special potential genius Initial Stage Martial Artist. Do you think he could become a High-tier Martial Artist in this short time?"

For a High-tier Martial Artist to kill a Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snake, it's not generally difficult. Even when I was a High-tier Martial Artist, with a Tier Two Weapon, I couldn't manage it, let alone someone like Lin Qi with no background.

As for Lin Qi, this genius martial artist, I know a bit about him. After all, he was previously certified by the Martial Artist Association as a special potential genius, a 100% chance to get into the Genius Training Camp.

But now it appears all those tests were wrong, or Lin Qi used some method to hide his strength, causing the testing equipment to malfunction. His real strength should be that of a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist.

A Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist under 25 years old is far more formidable than the average genius martial artist.

"I also believe it's a malfunction of the testing equipment," Morton nodded, thinking the testing equipment must be malfunctioning since it's impossible for someone to directly advance from Initial Stage to High Tier in less than a month.

In less than a month, to rise from Initial Tier to High Tier, such an increase in speed hasn't been heard of, not just in Chasing Light City, but even in those powerful Mobile Cities, such speed is likely unheard of.

"Alright, after going back this time, you all should rest well. The days ahead will likely keep us busy," Bailuo smiled, gazing solemnly towards the now-vanished small valley. "This time, a High-level Lord appeared so close by, the effects from the frontline have already started to manifest, and places outside the city will no longer be safe."

Morton's expression also suddenly became somewhat gloomy and unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, the problem of clearing monsters on the frontline began to manifest so quickly. From now on, the days in cities will likely become tough for the major forces, and the extinction of Chasing Light City is not an unimaginable event.

Especially for their Brand Clan, a force holding large towns in the wild, the pressure is not just usual big.

In the past, the monster attacks towns could encounter were at most Junior Lords, but now with monsters like High-level Lords, if they launch an offensive against towns, the consequences are unthinkable.

And after the convoy rested for over an hour, Lin Qi also borrowed three B6-rated armored transport vehicles from another convoy, loaded them full of monster materials, and safely returned to Chasing Light City.

With Lin Qi and the others returning to Chasing Light City, news of Lin Qi being a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist spread like wildfire throughout Chasing Light City that very night, causing all the major forces receiving the news to scarcely believe it to be true.

"What did you say? Hall Master Lin is a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist?" Xia Ling, cultivating in the Cultivation Room, looked at the butler reporting the news with a face full of astonishment. "How is that possible! Wasn't Hall Master Lin just certified as an Initial Stage Martial Artist recently? How did he become a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist?"

Regarding Lin Qi's situation, she knew more than anyone, even during her first encounter with Lin Qi, Xia Ling was certain Lin Qi wasn't even an Apprentice.

Now she herself has just become a quasi-martial artist, claiming Lin Qi has become a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist, how could she dare believe this?

"Miss, this is true," the old butler said, extremely excited. "Just on the convoy's way back to the city, Hall Master Lin single-handedly took down five Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes, which many people witnessed firsthand. Moreover, after the convoy returned, the four major forces chose to concede all their territory to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall for protection. The high-level members even all hid in the urban area, afraid of being avenged by Hall Master Lin."

"It's as if they're wise, knowing that the suburban territories certainly cannot be kept. Better to give them up to save their lives," Xia Ling chuckled.

"Actually, even if the four major forces didn't concede the territories, it would be hard to hold onto them afterward," the old butler said. "This time, the transport was attacked by seven Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes and a large number of Golden-winged Snakes. The patriarchs of the Peiwen and Bain families in the four major forces were killed by the Golden-winged Snakes. Wright from the Gorilla Gang and Kedewen from the North Ao family were both seriously injured while protecting people during the wave of the Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes. One had an arm turned into pulp, the other's leg was bitten off by a Golden-winged Snake, both were disabled, and even though both were high-tier martial artists, they couldn't hold the fort."

"No wonder they're so straightforward," Xia Ling suddenly realized.

"Miss, after Sir received this news, he also received an invitation from our Half-Scale Race Elder," the old butler said cautiously. "You are allowed to enter the Half-Scale Training Camp now to prepare for the Genius Training Camp exams!"

"The Half-Scale Training Camp?" Xia Ling was surprised upon hearing this.

As a powerful race in Chasing Light City, her Half-Scale Race specially selects talented individuals for training to continue their lineage. The Half-Scale Training Camp is established by the powerful members of the Half-Scale Race with substantial resources.
