Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"Do you dare swear an oath before the Lord of Light and Shadow?"

"I swear to the Lord of Light and Shadow, everything I said is true!"

"What did he say? Tell everyone the truth!"

Kalan looked at Jing Yuan, and now, in front of the city lord, he was also acting somewhat recklessly and wildly.

"Jingyuan said that emotions are the driving force of human progress. The reason why the Lighthouse has not made any technological progress for so many years is because the Lighthouse has imprisoned human emotions..."

"Hmph!" Jing Yuan sneered upon hearing this. "Humans have seven emotions and six desires. Liking is an emotion, disliking is an emotion, being happy is an emotion, and being sad is also an emotion! I was talking about emotions, how did I end up bringing up the Three Great Laws?"

Jing Yuan dared to confront the city lord because he was certain that the city lord had not explicitly said anything that violated the three laws.

He's not stupid; he knows what he can and cannot say on the lighthouse.

However, some opinions are too broad, and if someone with ulterior motives interprets them deliberately, they can form the viewpoint they want.

But if you can make things up, why can't I?

He also said that genetic selection should not be about determining superiority or inferiority, but rather about maintaining the diversity of genetic samples, which means...

Jingyuan wanted to explain further, but Morgan suddenly slapped the chair and said, "Is this all the content you meant by 'reckless talk'?"

Morgan was clearly very dissatisfied.

"No! There's more! He also said that if the Lord of Light and Shadow truly exists, why doesn't he deliver the supplies directly to us? He... he questioned the Lord of Light and Shadow!"

Upon hearing this, Charles's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rebuked him: "How dare you question the Lord of Light and Shadow!"

Jing Yuan calmly replied, "Taking things out of context! I was just saying that the Lighthouse's materials were all collected by the Hunters. In terms of practical significance, the Hunters have done more than the Light and Shadow Society! Moreover, this statement was only made because my classmate and I were discussing which department we wanted to join. I wanted to join the Hunters, and he wanted to join the Light and Shadow Society, which is why we had this discussion!"

Jing Yuan suddenly raised his voice, feigning sudden realization, and said, "Now I finally understand why the Law Enforcement Bureau used such severe torture on me. It wasn't for criticizing the Three Laws! It was because I said the Light and Shadow Society was inferior to the Wilderness Hunters! They were simply unhappy about it!"

“You’re talking nonsense…” Ned quickly said, “We didn’t torture you at all!”

"If you hadn't tortured me, I would have been released after two days of solitary confinement. Why would I have run away? Don't you know that running away is a more serious crime? Don't you..."

"enough!"

Morgan spoke up, his brow furrowed, "Charles!"

Charles stepped forward respectfully and bowed slightly.

"The Devouring Beasts on the ground are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. We need highly skilled combat personnel! Do you understand what I mean?"

Charles's expression changed!

"Ned!"

"exist!"

"Remove him from his post as inspector and go back to reflect on his actions."

“Yes!” Ned could only accept it silently. He glanced at Charles, but Charles was now in dire straits himself.

"You handle the rest! I don't want to see anything like this happen again."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Morgan left the council hall.

This result is the best possible outcome.

There is no right or wrong.

If we have to assign blame to Morgan, was he dealing with his own son or with an excellent soldier?

Jingyuan followed Mark away.

Once outside, Mark, with his back to Jingyuan, asked, "Since you understand everything, why did you run out? Let them lock you up for two days; that would have minimized the impact of this."

Jing Yuan shook his head and said, "I have a reason why I have to come out."

"But you've offended Charles like this..."

“Mark!” Jing Yuan interrupted Mark directly, without adding the honorific “Captain,” “If I don’t do this, won’t I offend Charles? Don’t you know what kind of person Charles is?”

Mark paused, realizing that what he said made sense.

Mark shook his head and said, "From now on, stop saying that the Hunters do more than the Light and Shadow Society. Everyone is working for the Lighthouse."

“Captain Mark!” Jing Yuan said helplessly, “I was just telling the truth. I chose to join the Hunters because I really wanted to do something.”

Mark admired Jingyuan's ambition, but he still earnestly advised, "You are still young and there are many things you don't understand yet. We just need to do our job well and not say anything unnecessary."

Jingyuan looked at Mark, wanting to say something, but held back.

As a senior colleague, Mark had already been told "don't say more," so saying anything more would be impolite.

Jing Yuan smiled and asked, "Captain Mark, could you take me on the next Hunter mission?"

Chapter 7 Jingyuan's Request

Mark hesitated for a moment, "But you're not a hunter yet."

Jingyuan said, "When I was in school, I excelled in all training programs. I can also pilot gravity vehicles, so I won't hold you back."

Indeed, Jingyuan excelled in all training at the school, as Instructor Elon had mentioned more than once. Moreover, Jingyuan had repeatedly expressed his desire to join the Wilderness Hunters in the future, and Mark also wanted to cultivate him as a capable assistant, so taking him to the surface ahead of time was not a problem.

Mark smiled. "There will be plenty of opportunities to go to the surface in the future, there's no need to rush. The surface isn't as fun as it seems."

"I never thought the ground would be fun. I just want to experience real combat. Captain Mark, if the next mission isn't too dangerous, take me with you!"

Mark couldn't resist the persistent pleading and finally nodded, saying, "Okay!"

With a smile on his face, Jing Yuan said to Mark, "Captain Mark, I'll head back now."

Watching Jingyuan's departing figure, Mark felt gratified. He was very happy that there was such a junior in the Lighthouse!

But Jingyuan wanted to engage in actual combat on the ground, not because he wanted to achieve great things, but because he needed the Devouring Beast.

Since awakening the system three years ago, he has worked so hard, all he wants is to become stronger.

Now, the talent has finally been unlocked.

However, his talent was neither as strong nor as weak as Jing Yuan had imagined.

Unlocking the talent also unlocks a piece of information.

[Unlock the Psychic Talent. Psychic power is an extension of mental power, allowing for telekinesis. Regular training can enhance psychic power. Slaying Devouring Beasts and obtaining their life essence can also strengthen psychic power.]

It was because of this information that Jingyuan was in a hurry to go to the ground.

With his current strength, it's hard to say whether his physical body can fight against the Devouring Beast, but if he combines it with the Gravity Body, killing the Devouring Beast should not be a problem.

The system required him to kill Devouring Beasts to increase his strength, which made Jing Yuan feel both bitter and gratified.

The bitterness stems from the fact that despite three years of hard work, my strength has not yet reached invincibility.

I'm relieved because there's still room for improvement.

Although Jingyuan was an upper-class citizen, he was only at the bottom of the upper class and lived in a dormitory room with four people.

The roommates were quite surprised to see Jingyuan return.

Everyone knew that during the day, the law institute and the city defense army had carried out a large-scale manhunt for Jing Yuan.

Roommate Chu Feng was the first to come over and asked hurriedly, "Jingyuan, what happened? The law firm and the city defense army are searching for you. What's going on?"

Jingyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding!"

My roommate, Mo Dong, came over and said, "Something's definitely up, kid. What happened?"

My roommate Neil added, "We went to Instructor Elon, but he wouldn't tell us anything. Is it serious?"

Jingyuan looked helpless. He and his three roommates had grown up together and were all people he could confide in. He just didn't want his roommates to get involved. But they kept asking, and he couldn't just stay silent.

So, Jingyuan told his roommate what had happened.

"That bastard Karan actually went to complain?"

Previously, Jingyuan was chatting with his roommates about whether to join the Hunters or go to other departments.

Jingyuan and Modong have clearly stated their desire to join the Wilderness Hunters, while Chufeng and Neil are still considering it.

Neil wanted to go to the City Guard or the Bar Council, but he thought it would be safer at the lighthouse.

After hearing this, Neil smiled wryly and said, "According to you, if I went to the law firm or the city guard, wouldn't they... because of our relationship..."

Mo Dong complained, "I always said that the Law Office and the City Guard are no good. You might as well come with us to the Wilderness Hunters. In my opinion, there are more honest people among the Wilderness Hunters."

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "It's precisely because everyone is upright that they are willing to go down to the ground and risk their lives!" Jing Yuan looked at Neil and said, "Neil, you have a rather soft personality. The law firm and the city guards are only good at bullying the weak, so they are not suitable for you."

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then I'll go with you to take the Wilderness Hunter exam!"

“That’s more like it!” Mo Dong patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, then looked at Neil.

Jing Yuan looked at Neil and said, "Neil, you have a great talent for piloting gravity vehicles. You can only realize your value by joining the Hunters. Don't waste this talent!"

Neil smiled wryly and said, "That's a simulated driving of a gravity body. In real driving, you'd have to face the Devouring Beasts, so it's not necessarily the same."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if one day the Devouring Beasts could fly? Would we still be safe staying on the lighthouse?"

"Can the Devouring Beast fly?"

Everyone was puzzled by Jingyuan's words.
