Having left the Emperor Star Club, the magnetic levitation car sped along the Superconductive Highway heading west, and after a short while, entered Qishan District and stopped by the roadside outside Wutong Archery Hall.
Passersby occasionally walked past, casting envious glances at the flying car.
Before long, Lu Yunhai quickly erged from the archery hall, looked around, and imdiately approached once he saw the flying car, with the window rolling down to reveal Ji Xinghuo inside.
"Xinghuo!"
Lu Yunhai’s face lit up with joy.
He had just received a call from Ji Xinghuo, who said he was coming to et him; he took a couple of steps back to admire the magnetic levitation car and exclaid, "Nice car!"
"It’s Man Ying’s car; I borrowed it for a drive," Ji Xinghuo said with a smile. "Get in."
Lu Yunhai sat in the car and shook his head, "Back when we were in college, we often envied those who could drive luxury cars, each costing tens of millions. I never thought you’d beco soone who sits in luxury so quickly."
He looked at Ji Xinghuo, who appeared the sa as before.
However, his best friend had now beco the number one on the ladder, known by everyone on Earth, labeled as the first person below the Heavenly King!
In less than three years, the two of them had beco people of different worlds, prompting endless sighs from Lu Yunhai.
Ji Xinghuo was observing him too and asked, "How have you been lately?"
"Everything’s going well." Lu Yunhai smiled, "I’ve been to the Star Realm twice. Although the gains weren’t much, I’ve accumulated a lot of experience, and most importantly, I ca back safely each ti."
"Still an Interdiate Mutant?"
"Of course," Lu Yunhai thought Ji Xinghuo found his evolution slow and complained, "You think everyone is like you? Every ti you return from the Star Realm, your strength leaps several tiers."
At this, he sighed again, "I’ve been a Mutant for over two years. It’s already quite fast to have advanced once and possess my current strength."
Ji Xinghuo was of course aware of this.
Lu Yunhai, the sa age as himself, was 25 years old. For a Mutant of that age group to advance to Interdiate was considered quite excellent.
However, there was a significant gap compared to the geniuses on the ladder.
If he didn’t encounter so special fate, Lu Yunhai’s life limit would likely be as an Advanced Mutant, and the chance to beco a Super Mutant was very slim.
"What’s there to fear, I’ll take you with ," Ji Xinghuo laughed, patting his good friend’s shoulder.
Their longstanding friendship as forr classmates made helping a good brother a trivial matter.
Lu Yunhai’s eyes lit up and he imdiately called out, "Boss!"
"Hahaha..." Ji Xinghuo took out a green fruit from his trouser pocket, "Here, eat this."
"What’s this?"
Lu Yunhai took the Sky Blue Fruit, not recognizing it, and felt it was similar to a green jujube, and it also hadn’t been washed.
"Don’t ask too much, just eat and you’ll know."
Without hesitation, Lu Yunhai tossed the fruit into his mouth and chewed a few bites before swallowing it in front of Ji Xinghuo’s watchful eyes. Soon, he felt the change within him, his eyes gradually widening as he exclaid, "Holy crap! A capacity-expanding wonder!"
Having been a Mutant for more than two years, he personally understood how precious capacity-expanding wonders were.
He had never heard of this green fruit before, nor had it been sold in the market, obviously one of those rare capacity-expanding wonders.
Typically, such treasures were worth at least thirty or forty million!
"Damn, you really are wealthy now," Lu Yunhai was extrely excited, "Even the smallest thing you let slip through your fingers is worth millions."
"Pretty much,"
Ji Xinghuo smiled proudly. The production of Sky Blue Fruits was plentiful. Apart from the thousand he sold to the Void Spirit Guests, he still kept a dozen or so. Since they were not of much use, he decided to give them away as gifts to family and friends.
"I ca here today to fulfill a promise." He finally got to the point. Last year, when they were hunting the Nile River giant lizard in order to obtain gene recombination, he promised to give each teammate a Transcendent Species.
Lu Yunhai quickly shook his head, "We’re all good brothers; I already said there’s no need."
"You might not want it, but I have to give it," Ji Xinghuo insisted, handing Lu Yunhai a small box.
Unable to resist, Lu Yunhai curiously opened it and asked, "Why are there two Alien Species?"
Inside were two Alien Species, one was a spherical lump of flesh resembling an eyeball, the other a black feather.
Ji Xinghuo pointed to the spherical flesh and said, "This is Global Vision, a Transcendent Species, and it should be quite suitable for your Hunter template. The additional Winged Man Feather cos as a bonus; I killed a few Winged People and got five or six feathers..."
"Winged Man Feather!"
Lu Yunhai couldn’t help but exclaim, staring at the Alien Species in the box, his gaze unwavering.
This Transcendent Species was well-known, and one of the core Abilities of the "All-Purpose Battle Police" of the Arican Federation was flying, and its wings could be used for defense.
In the market, the price of a Winged Man Feather was around sixty million Ya Yuan.
As for "Global Vision," it was even rarer.
It could provide a Mutant with a 360-degree field of vision, leaving no blind spots, and enhance sight to the point where one could see clearly in the dark, akin to a weaker version of "Eagle Eye" combined with "Dark Vision," a fusion of various vision Abilities.
What Hunters needed the most was Perception ability: vision, hearing, sll, etc., with multiple senses working together.
Global Vision was among the top-tier vision Abilities.
Only the Starfall Level True Eye had a better overall effect than it.
"This is too valuable!" Lu Yunhai shook his head repeatedly, yet he couldn’t bring himself to utter words of refusal.
If he could integrate these two Transcendent Species, his strength would leap to another tier.
"Take it," Ji Xinghuo started to smile, "We are all good brothers; don’t be formal with . Like I said, I’ll take you soaring."
Lu Yunhai hesitated, "But..."
Ji Xinghuo cut off his words and said earnestly, "To tell you the truth, these two Transcendent Species an nothing to . I could easily pull out several of them, and selling them for money would be pointless. Giving them to you to enhance your strength is simply making the best use of them."
"Damn!"
Lu Yunhai listened with his eyes wide and mouth agape, finally realizing that Ji Xinghuo had beco soone from an entirely different world.
The Transcendent Species, worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, were nothing to him now.
His heart thumped wildly.
With such a powerful friend to boost him in the future, would he also have the chance to go further on the path of evolution if he followed suit?
"Then I’ll accept it," Lu Yunhai said excitedly.
Ji Xinghuo nodded, and as the two sat in the car talking, Lu Yunhai brought up several college classmates, saying, "Now many people in our class want to see you, and the teachers too. They can’t get in touch with you, and knowing that you and I are close, they all ca to ask ."
"What do they want to see for?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"How would I know?" Lu Yunhai shook his head. "My guess is that they just want to get closer to you. Do you want to see them?"
"Let’s talk about it so other ti." Ji Xinghuo did not want to trouble himself. It was best not to et if possible.
"Oh, right."
Lu Yunhai rembered sothing, "I almost forgot to tell you, I’m getting married next month, will you co?"
"Really?" Ji Xinghuo was very surprised.
In this day and age, marriage was a very serious affair.
Even couples with great chemistry were often reluctant to marry, which could avoid a lot of trouble, maintain independence, and not affect having children.
"Really," Lu Yunhai nodded.
"You need to think it over," Ji Xinghuo advised. Lu Yunhai had been with Fang Yinpeng for more than two years, and they were both still young; getting married seed a bit hasty.
"I understand," said Lu Yunhai earnestly. "Yinpeng’s family is pressing for it, and they’ve given a lot of help and support. I’ve been very happy these last two years, and I want to settle down."
Ji Xinghuo said no more, "When is it set for?"
"The 20th this month," Lu Yunhai said with a smile. "We’d set this date before. I thought you wouldn’t make it, but as it turns out, you’re back just in ti."
It was the beginning of June now, just a matter of days away.
Ji Xinghuo thought he had nothing else on, "Sure, I’ll be there."
"You have to do more than just show up; you have to be my best man," Lu Yunhai said sincerely. "This will probably be the only wedding of my life, and you’re my best friend, as well as the most distinguished guest. Being my best man will make a good impression in front of Yinpeng’s family."
"No problem," Ji Xinghuo agreed readily. "I’ll give you another wedding gift when the ti cos."
Lu Yunhai laughed, "Then I’ll look forward to it."
He now knew that Ji Xinghuo was generous, so the wedding gift would definitely be sothing good.
The two chatted for a bit longer, then Lu Yunhai got out of the car and returned to the archery hall to continue training.
Ji Xinghuo drove to an upscale club in Chang’an, entered a private room, and saw Chi Zhonglin and Zhuligetu both half-reclining in their seats, surrounded by won and drinks, though their minds were still clear.
"Xinghuo! You’re finally back, you rascal!"
Chi Zhonglin pushed aside the won beside him, wide-eyed and full of excitent, as he threw his hands open to hug Jin Xinghuo, who dodged the embrace.
Zhuligetu also sat up, yelling, "The top of Heavenly Ladder is here! Co, let’s drink!"
The four won in the private room, hearing their talk, all turned to look at Ji Xinghuo, their eyes sparkling.
A scantily clad woman scread, "Ji Xinghuo! Handso guy, are you that number one on the Heavenly Ladder?"
"Of course, it’s him.
"I told you earlier and you didn’t believe , thought I was boasting," Chi Zhonglin said proudly, "now Ji Xinghuo is here, isn’t he?"
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"I actually t Ji Xinghuo, oh my god!" The won were screaming excitedly, all taking out their phones to gather around Ji Xinghuo for a photo, and one of them flirtatiously twisted her body toward him and said, "Handso guy, need company? It can be for free."
"Thank you, but no,"
Ji Xinghuo backed up a few steps, not wanting to get too close to these won, but he didn’t stop them from taking photos.
With network privacy protection, the photos they took would be automatically processed.
Posting them online would be useless.
"Ladies, please step out for now, we’ll call you back in a bit," Chi Zhonglin, seeing the won acting almost mad, felt sowhat annoyed and ushered them all out of the private room, closing the door behind.
Ji Xinghuo sat down and handed over two Species to them.
"Earth Pulse!"
Chi Zhonglin rubbed his hands together excitedly. He had wanted this Species for several years and had finally obtained it.
Zhuligetu received the Transcendent Species "Extre Healing." Seeing the Species, the drunkenness vanished in an instant, and he smiled, "Xinghuo, you really are true to your word, fulfilling the promise you made a year ago so quickly."
As a Battle Priest with extrely strong physical abilities, he was a perfect match for "Extre Healing."
Ji Xinghuo turned to Chi Zhonglin and said, "I ran into Sister Ren in the Star Realm, and she asked to tell you that our team has disbanded."
Then he handed over a bag, "This is from Sister Ren for you."
Chi Zhonglin froze.
After looking inside the bag, his grave expression suddenly twisted into an exaggerated smile. He threw his arms around Ji Xinghuo’s legs, pleading earnestly, "Xinghuo, from now on, I’m your little brother. You have to take with you!"
