But what truly shattered his worldview was yet to co.
Wang Mingyuan watched as Su Zhan changed into a different set of clothes, put on a mask, then switched to his Aberrant form and began hunting.
At this mont.
His conjecture was finally verified.
Su Zhan was indeed an Aberrant!
Su Zhan had a dual identity!
Wang Mingyuan's shock at that ti was beyond words.
No one could truly understand the feeling of having their entire worldview overturned.
And his heart was no longer calm.
He was thinking, since his student had beco an Aberrant, what should he do?
Should he report his own student?
Or pretend like nothing happened?
But soone with such a dual identity posed too great a potential threat to this world.
Wang Mingyuan struggled internally.
Later... he watched as Su Zhan hunted.
He watched him absorb one Bone Eroder corpse after another.
His strength continuously grew.
His realm continuously broke through.
He advanced three minor stages from just one mist incident!
This cultivation speed...
Wang Mingyuan could guarantee it was unprecedented in this world!
From this mont on, he changed his mind.
His student didn't eat people to begin with, unlike other Aberrants towards human society—there was no inherent opposition.
Moreover, with his unprecedented, peerless cultivation speed.
His future prospects would be limitless!
Why drive away soone loyal to the human faction?
When the risks and benefits are balanced.
This matter becos debatable.
Then...
Su Zhan's team faced accusations and threats from Qin Bai.
Wang Mingyuan simply observed silently at the ti.
He wanted to see how these young people would make their choices under such difficult circumstances?
The result actually surprised him.
These young people were remarkably united.
Even the arrogant Xie Xi, who was excluded from the investigation, still helped her teammates.
When you get old, everything reminds you of the past.
Wang Mingyuan recalled earlier tis.
Hadn't he also had such good comrades-in-arms?
But now, these forr comrades were either dead, injured, or had mostly retired from frontline duty.
For example, Kong Wu.
After completing his military service, he also beca a teacher at Vermilion Bird Academy.
Wang Mingyuan didn't bla Kong Wu; the importance of being a Vermilion Bird teacher was comparable to guarding the borders.
Because Vermilion Bird Academy trains the top Awakeneds in southern Daxia.
And this job is relatively comfortable...
Old Kong has a family and children now, this job is the best choice for him.
Wang Mingyuan silently wished Kong Wu a happy family and dostic bliss.
Afterwards...
Wang Mingyuan saw his students heading to Ye Hongyu's office.
Ye Hongyu had also been his teacher once.
But after he got injured, he felt too ashad to see her and never contacted her again.
Ten years...
Normally he still wouldn't go see her.
But now...
This opportunity to change Daxia's destiny was in his hands.
His ability was too small; he couldn't protect Su Zhan properly.
Only by bringing his teacher into this could they accomplish great things together!
The following story was simple.
Wang Mingyuan found Ye Hongyu and told her everything he knew.
He still rembered Ye Hongyu's expression at that ti.
Shock!
It had been so long since he'd seen his teacher so flustered.
Thinking of this, Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
Later...
Ye Hongyu rejected Qin Bai's request to interrogate Su Zhan and the others.
But Ye Hongyu had one requirent.
That was, hearing is believing, but seeing is believing.
She needed to see for herself.
Then ca the story from just now.
From the mont Su Zhan arrived in this area.
They had been observing from the shadows, until Ye Hongyu personally saw Su Zhan transform into an Aberrant.
Only then was Wang Mingyuan's story proven true.
"Who can say how far this kid will go?"
Ye Hongyu's red hair lifted slightly in the wind: "But his danger is very real. His dual identity being exposed would bring great disaster to Daxia.
I've been in Daxia's upper echelons for so many years.
I know too well how those old fellows would choose.
They'd rather kill Su Zhan than take this risk. So this matter cannot let a third... fourth person know."
Currently only three people know Su Zhan's identity.
Ye Hongyu, Wang Mingyuan, and... Su Zhan himself.
"I understand."
Wang Mingyuan adjusted his glasses: "But teacher, don't you think this is exactly the variable we've been waiting for? Daxia these past years..."
"We're gambling."
Ye Hongyu directly interrupted him: "Gambling that he can grow to a point where he can change the landscape, gambling that his value outweighs the risks.
The two of us are now betting with the nation's fate!"
"We will win."
Wang Mingyuan said this superficially, but internally felt trendous pressure.
If Su Zhan lost control in the future, or if his identity exposure caused turmoil, he and Ye Hongyu would be eternal sinners!
"But since we've decided to protect him, so things must be handled cleanly."
Ye Hongyu seed to see through his thoughts, changing the subject: "I'll help him with these things, both openly and secretly. Those who want to investigate him, including Qin Bai, I'll prevent them from investigating... Of course, I can't obstruct too obviously, that would be more suspicious."
"That's enough."
Wang Mingyuan nodded.
"The remaining road, he must walk himself."
Ye Hongyu looked toward Su Zhan's direction and continued: "What we can give him is only ti to develop. True power must be torn from those monsters with his own hands. Power gained this way truly belongs to him."
Wang Mingyuan took one last look in Su Zhan's direction, and as he turned away, said softly: "He will do it."
This statent sounded both like a promise and self-comfort.
There was one more detail.
Throughout their entire discussion, they never ntioned Blondie.
They never discussed this young master whose family had a council mber.
It wasn't because they forgot...
But because this young master was utterly insignificant compared to Su Zhan.
Whether he lived or died, they wouldn't intervene.
Because intervening now would clearly tell Su Zhan that they know his identity?
Just a council mber—Daxia's council has over 300 seats total, with constant rotation every year.
Most of what these council mbers decide holds little real power; it's mostly symbolic status for people with so social influence.
What they can decide...
Or rather, they simply vote following those above them.
After choosing sides, they no longer have the right to choose.
Moreover...
Who can guarantee that Blondie's parents' positions won't be replaced next year?
This kind of status isn't worth them currying favor.
...
anwhile.
Su Zhan had no idea that his identity was completely known by two people.
And that his life had been spared through their discussion.
Otherwise he would have already been reduced to ashes.
Su Zhan was still thinking about how to escape.
He glanced toward the direction of the sound source.
Forget it, the enemy's strength is unknown, and there's not much reward anyway—the risk of saving soone is too great.
The two sides were still in a standoff, though currently, the Commander of this Aberrant Purge Division operation was clearly under great pressure and at a disadvantage.
At this very mont!
A dark shadow streaked across the sky!
