Urban Peerless Expert

"If he wants to do something, we can hardly stop it."

Qiu Chan calmly stated the fact: "They don’t even need abduction; he can directly threaten to act. If the goal is not achieved, he will attack the Federation’s major planets..."

Lin Chen thought it made sense: "That’s true. With one strike, although planets have protective measures, causing countless casualties and destroying cities is definitely possible, after all, he is a Level 9 Martial Artist."

Qiu Chan nodded: "Yes, so I think this abduction was also forced; his situation is probably quite difficult."

Lin Chen asked: "Because of his identity, he had to act, but in his heart, he agrees with the Federation and is unwilling to turn his blade against it..."

"Yes."

Qiu Chan explained: "He was once a member of the Divine War Department, viewing the Federation’s glory as of supreme importance."

"I think maybe he accepted the wormhole shift experiment intending to die. As long as he died, he wouldn’t have to be caught in the middle anymore."

Lin Chen’s expression turned peculiar: "A person who wanted to die survived and even succeeded?"

Qiu Chan’s eyes were complicated: "It seems that way. He gained greater abilities and will inevitably be coerced into doing more things he doesn’t want to do. He may have a harder time in the future."

Qin Zheng, who had been silent, said solemnly, "I can understand his predicament, but it is not a reason for him to wield a sword against the Federation. This matter needs to be reported quickly so that the higher-ups can take action."

"If he doesn’t use the sword against the Federation now, what about in the future?"

"His existence is a huge hidden danger; the safety of the Federation cannot depend on someone else’s promises."

Qiu Chan nodded in agreement with Qin Zheng’s statement and said to Lin Chen: "The hostages are okay, right? We can go back."

"They’re fine, just that I was startled, even my scalp went numb for a moment."

Lin Chen answered with lingering fear: "If I hadn’t been vigilant all the time, I might have fallen into their hands."

Lin Chen was wary of Zhao Guangting because the latter showed ’interest’ in him. Lin Chen knew his own strength was low and his identity dangerous at the battlefield’s edge, so he naturally had to be cautious.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was not weak, at Level 8, although not as strong as the other party, he resisted that terrifying aura at that moment, quickly regained his senses, and used Star Sky Jump to escape.

If his strength were lower, that aura alone might have immobilized Lin Chen, preventing escape.

Lin Chen summoned the Void Pearl, gathering everyone within, and jumped away instantaneously.

Back at the Security Bureau, in the open space outside, Lin Chen released everyone.

Hundreds of hostages, having left the desolate planet and returned to the familiar Emperor Star, were instantly excited.

The Security Bureau had personnel ready, verifying everyone’s identity, and once confirmed, they were sent home in batches.

Lin Chen sat by the square, feeling someone watching him. He turned his head and saw it was the main rescue target of this mission.

Xue Wenrui.

The Little Girl’s face showed not much of the excitement of being rescued, just stared straight at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen gave Xue Wenrui a smile in response.

Xue Wenrui suddenly stepped forward, walking toward Lin Chen. The special group members around her glanced but didn’t stop her.

Xue Wenrui walked to Lin Chen’s side and said softly: "Thank you for saving me."

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "I just did a little favor; the real effort was theirs."

Xue Wenrui asked: "Can you tell me how you did it?"

Perhaps worried Lin Chen wouldn’t understand, Xue Wenrui gestured: "At that time, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I am a cultivator, possessing some special abilities. The sudden appearance was because I have a Space Magical Treasure. Previously, I was hidden within it. The space you all were just in is that Space Magical Treasure."

Xue Wenrui’s eyes gradually lit up: "Cultivators, who’s stronger compared to a martial artist?"

Lin Chen answered gently: "In terms of Combat Power alone, martial artists are stronger. However, cultivators have a longer lifespan and various means, making them more flexible and adaptable."

Xue Wenrui stared at Lin Chen: "Can you teach me cultivation?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Martial artists are stronger and their cultivation simpler. Cultivation is not strong enough, and there are various dangers, one might just disappear."

"I want to give it a try."

Xue Wenrui looked straight at Lin Chen: "I can’t cultivate, unable to form a furnace."

Lin Chen was enlightened, but not surprised. After all, among so many Federation people, not everyone can cultivate.

The cultivation of martial artists also heavily depends on Talent. Only a small number of people can form a furnace and become martial artists. More people, even with cultivation, at most strengthen their bodies and slightly extend their lifespan, like Xu Qingchuan. Despite his good family, he still couldn’t cultivate.

This is Talent, innate, irrelevant to your identity.

Even if your parents are both Level 9 martial artists, their children still might not have the cultivation Talent and can only be ordinary people.

Xue Wenrui’s family background, Lin Chen didn’t know, but causing such a big commotion to save him, and even the Divine War Department was mobilized, showed he was not simple.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Martial arts depend on Talent, and cultivation is the same. It’s not just about wanting to pursue it."

Xue Wenrui asked bluntly: "How do you test if I have cultivation Talent?"

Testing Talent is simple, but considering her possibly special identity, even if she has the Talent, she might not be able to cultivate with me.

Moreover, this matter is unrelated to me; why should I get involved?

Of course, her identity isn’t simple. Having a connection might be beneficial, but Lin Chen didn’t want to calculate things this way.

Due to her troublesome identity, with the rebels going so far to abduct her, who knows what trouble might arise later? Involving myself could bring deadly troubles.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment: "I don’t know your background, but I know your identity must be extraordinary. You’re still young, cultivation matters involve significant implications..."

"I can decide on my matters."

Xue Wenrui firmly interrupted Lin Chen’s words, gazing steadily at him: "If I can cultivate, I can take you as my Master. If you are my Master, you will get many benefits. Of course, you can set conditions, and I can agree to them."

Lin Chen looked at Xue Wenrui, who appeared mature and calm for her age: "Cultivation is a long journey. I don’t know how long I will stay on the Emperor Star, and given your conditions, you may not need me as a Master. You just need to convince your family, they’ll provide the necessary Cultivation Technique or resources, which should be straightforward..."
