Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

The B-level Awakened had his throat strangled, helplessly struggling in the air, yet dared not retaliate.

Seeing his face gradually turning red, even starting to purple, the receptionist finally gathered courage and pressed the alarm.

The shrill alarm had just begun to sound when a massive pressure descended, followed by a cold snort.

"What nerve, which bastard dares to cause trouble here?"

Chaoyang Academy is indeed impressive, far superior to those Edge Star Realm academies; even a random establishment has a Supreme stationed.

"What the hell are you?" The Paranoid’s demeanor intensified, speaking coldly, "Come out here!"

"Such audacity!" The Supreme was angered upon hearing this.

Following that, a shadow flickered, and a burly middle-aged man appeared before everyone.

He looked coldly at the Paranoid, still radiating his presence, "State your name and origin, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!"

"What kind of thing are you!" The Paranoid sneered, "Which class are you from?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment but still reported his background.

He had guessed the other might be a graduate of Chaoyang; otherwise, truly no one would dare make trouble at Chaoyang’s entrance.

Since they were alumni, he should show some courtesy, even if Chaoyang alumni were found everywhere for him.

"Junior," The Paranoid snorted, "More than a dozen classes before you, there was some Lin with Water Attribute... Did they become Supreme?"

The middle-aged man pondered before replying, "Collins? Died at the A-level."

Chaoyang Academy does not lack extraordinary talents, but people he could remember were truly few.

"Yes, that’s him," The Paranoid nodded upon hearing, then sighed lightly, "Alas, another who didn’t grow."

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, "Senior, could you let the person down first?"

At this moment, he was also a bit puzzled; Collins died more than one hundred and seventy years ago, this senior... what had he been doing all this time?

The Paranoid snorted coldly, letting the person down, "I’m causing trouble... heh, do you know what he was doing?"

"This matter can wait," The middle-aged man waved his hand, speaking indifferently, "Senior, shouldn’t you reveal your identity?"

The Paranoid snorted again, tossing out a badge, "You should know in your heart, don’t give me excuses for cleaning up!"

The middle-aged man looked at the badge and his face instantly changed, he looked at the other in shock, "You are..."

If it truly was him, then really he had the qualification to cause trouble here!

"You should know in your heart," The Paranoid spoke indifferently, "If you don’t believe, you can verify!"

The middle-aged man truly had to verify; he took out a terminal and scanned the badge.

Then he respectfully returned the badge, "Pardon me, you are already..."

The other’s age had already exceeded four hundred years, could it be... reached that height?

"Nothing already," The Paranoid pocketed the badge, expressionless as he retorted, "Can’t I be frozen for a period?"

"Of course... you can!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment but nodded.

He was not particularly convinced by the other’s words, after all, they claimed to be the genius born once every five hundred years at Chaoyang.

No matter what, since it was him, he truly had the qualification not to care about appearances.

He tidied his mood before asking respectfully, "Senior, you are..."

"I came to visit an old friend," The Paranoid replied expressionlessly, "Resulting in even needing to check my gene profile!"

"This..." The middle-aged man was speechless upon hearing, a Supreme’s gene profile was indeed not something just anyone could test.

Of course, regarding the research center’s regulation, it remained objectively existent.

If a visiting Supreme wasn’t a graduate of Chaoyang, the center could forcibly request a check; the academy was the center’s solid backing.

However, the visitor hailed from Chaoyang, being a famously formidable Supreme, then the B-level could only blame his bad luck.

Thus he could only muster a smile, "Senior, had you shown your identity earlier, this would’ve been avoided."

The Paranoid scoffed disdainfully, "He wants to know my identity... is he worthy?"

This comment truly made sense; two hundred years ago, his identity was already very sensitive, extremely high in confidentiality.

Indeed, even amongst Supremes, there were levels, he belonged to the top echelon.

The middle-aged man also knew this, could only smile awkwardly, then he was stunned, "Old friend?"

"Yes," The Paranoid nodded, he and Mu Yu’s relationship was known by quite a few, hence he didn’t bother to explain more.

— Even Jia Shuqing could hear about it, you as the Supreme stationed at the research center wouldn’t be unaware?

The middle-aged man nodded slightly upon hearing, "Alright, your identity is successfully verified, I won’t disturb you anymore."

As he spoke, he turned and left.

The still coughing B-level hastily called out upon seeing this, "Sir, cough cough... Here it still needs... cough cough..."

The middle-aged man shot him a cold glance, "No manners, you dare point at me?"

Finishing this statement, he nodded again at The Paranoid, his figure flickered and disappeared.

The Paranoid furrowed his brow, looking coldly at the B-level character, "Do you have any objections?"

"I... have no objections," the B-level character stammered, then turned to the receptionist, "You take this lord!"

"Not her!" the Paranoid spoke in a deep voice, fixing his gaze on the other party, "You take me!"

He had already realized that this center... seemed to have some issues.

"Please... my lord!" the B-level’s knees softened, directly kneeling on the ground, "My lord, it’s really not my fault."

The Paranoid lightly furrowed his brow, staring directly at the other party.

After staring for over a full minute, he finally spoke expressionlessly, "Do you want to die?"

"My lord, it’s really not my fault," the B-level Awakened’s teeth were chattering, "I, I’ve only been at the center for ten years or so."

"Speak," the Paranoid’s eyes were filled with coldness, as if looking at a dead man, "What exactly happened?"

"This, this, this..." the B-level Awakened hesitated for a long time before making up his mind.

"The Supreme you’re looking for, she... she... she’s already been awakened!"

"What?" the Paranoid’s eyes squinted, and an air of intimidation burst forth instantly.

The young receptionist fell to the ground with a plop, and immediately a smell of ammonia wafted over—she was so scared she wet herself.

The Paranoid retracted his momentum—he truly didn’t mean to do it, he just lost control.

Squinting his eyes, he spoke gloomily, "Tell me, who did it?"

"Alright," Qu Jianlei patted his shoulder, "The important thing is to ask about Mu Yu’s whereabouts first."

Another Supreme... Despair appeared in the eyes of the B-level character.

He didn’t even notice that Qu Jianlei could actually control the Paranoid.

The fact that the other party dared to directly mention "Mu Yu" already indicated an issue.

Worse than offending one Supreme... is offending two Supremes.

The Paranoid steadied himself, then asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mu Yu now? Be warned... I will not ask a second time!"

"I... I’ll check right away," the B-level Awakened answered tremblingly.

Then he rushed to the front desk, using both hands to frantically search the terminal.

The terminal at the front desk was very powerful, and after roughly half a minute, he found the answer.

Mu Yu was awakened twenty-two years ago, and because she couldn’t live independently, she was nearly sent to a Nursing Home.

The Nursing Home is somewhat similar to a retirement home, but the good thing is, it’s inhabited by elders who have contributed to the Imperial.

But even so, the conditions at the Nursing Home aren’t very good.

Especially for those elders who aren’t very conscious; material shortages are minor, but abuse often occurs.

Luckily, Mu Yu had a great-nephew living on Blessing Star, who, after hearing the news, took her away.

Her great-nephew is named Zheng Tianwen and currently resides in Qingshui Town, which is more than eight thousand kilometers from Chaoyang.

"I’ll go find her now," the Paranoid spoke darkly, then looked at Qu Jianlei.

"Please keep an eye on those two, and if they try to send a message to anyone, you can kill them... I’m authorizing it."

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes reluctantly, "What a mess this is!"

He somewhat rejected being so high-profile, but the Paranoid’s consideration was also very reasonable.

Mu Yu being awakened ahead of time must have a reason, the motives of those involved are unclear, but it’s undeniable there’s some malice involved at least.

Once those involved learn the Paranoid has returned, their reaction... it’s hard to say.

Thus, he really needed to keep an eye on those two to prevent more serious incidents.

He felt a bit of annoyance, but he couldn’t help but remind, "About that Supreme from earlier... should I capture him back?"

Upon hearing this, the B-level Awakened finally couldn’t hold it, and he too lost control of his bladder.

—To openly claim at Chaoyang’s gates to capture a Supreme, what level of ancestor must one be?

The Paranoid hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, he’s ultimately a fellow alum, better leave him some Supreme dignity."

Then he looked at the B-level Awakened, speaking menacingly, "If this really involves that guy, don’t blame me for killing!"

Qu Jianlei didn’t respond, but instead looked at Flower Scorpion, "You accompany him... be careful."

The Paranoid’s emotions were very unstable right now, someone had to accompany and look after him, or else it would be easy for others to exploit.

Flower Scorpion nodded in response, following the Paranoid closely out.

Qu Jianlei glanced at the two, too lazy to speak, and directly released two chairs, calling out to Celestial Sound.

"Sit down, it looks like we’ll be waiting for a while."

Celestial Sound didn’t stand on ceremony, settling down gracefully with a regal demeanor.

Then she sighed lightly, "I really didn’t expect Chaoyang to turn out this way... she was a once-in-three-hundred-years genius."

The B-level Awakened’s eyes brightened at her words, "Are you also a graduate of Chaoyang, my lord?"
