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

"How can a Devouring Beast fly!" Mo Dong smiled, thinking he was joking.

“I’m serious,” Jing Yuan said solemnly. “I once read a report that said the Devouring Beasts have been evolving and may very well develop the ability to fly in the future. So I think that instead of waiting for the Devouring Beasts to develop the ability to fly and then attack us, we should prepare in advance.”

Jingyuan looked at Neil and said solemnly, "Think about it, if that day really comes, will it be easier for us hunters who have fought countless battles against the Devouring Beasts to survive, or for those useless people from the Law Institute and the city defense army to survive?"

"Jingyuan is right! In the apocalypse, it's easier to survive if you strengthen yourself!"

Neil thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Chu Feng patted Neil on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Since Captain Mark became the commander of the Hunters, the mortality rate of the Hunters has been greatly reduced, and there won't be much danger."

Mo Dong replied, "We can protect you without Captain Mark!"

Jing Yuan nodded to himself.

What he said to Neil came from the bottom of his heart.

However, he also had his own selfish motives.

After this incident, he has completely clashed with the Light and Shadow Society and the City Defense Army.

Charles will not let him off the hook, nor will he let the Light and Shadow Society and the city defense forces off the hook.

It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this!

He'll take down the Light and Shadow Society and the city defense forces sooner or later!

If his longtime brother were to stand on the opposite side, Jingyuan would find it difficult to make a move.

After the four of them finished chatting, it was already quite late, so they went to sleep.

Jingyuan also slept very comfortably, after all, he hadn't had a proper rest for two nights.

The next day, Jingyuan did not get up early.

His roommates didn't disturb him so that he could rest properly.

Everything at the lighthouse was normal.

After waking up, Jingyuan went straight to the cafeteria for a meal. People pointed and whispered about him on the way, but he didn't care.

After breakfast, Jingyuan went to a secluded place to test his telekinetic abilities.

Three years of continuous training and check-in tasks unlocked what turned out to be telekinesis.

Jingyuan's physical abilities are now more than ten times stronger than before, but this is just a byproduct of unlocking his psychic talent.

But how strong is the true protagonist's "psychic power"?

Jingyuan took out a small steel ball, and with a thought, the steel ball rose into the air.

Jing Yuan struck with his energy, and with a whoosh, the steel ball was launched like a bullet and quickly disappeared.

However, this is something that cannot be visually detected; in Jingyuan's consciousness, his mental power always firmly controls the steel ball.

Jing Yuan smiled slightly. With just a simple experiment, he already knew the effects of telekinesis.

Jingyuan regained control of the steel ball in his hand, but suddenly he sensed someone approaching, so he immediately put the steel ball away.

There are no special abilities on the lighthouse, so he still needs to keep his telekinetic abilities hidden.

Unfortunately, the lighthouse is only a small area, and Jingyuan couldn't find a suitable training ground. It seems he still needs to find an opportunity to go down there to test things out.

Jingyuan arrived at the school.

According to the previously set schedule, today should be the day of the preliminary selection.

Each department will conduct a preliminary selection based on the application information.

But once inside the school, everything seemed normal.

Jingyuan asked someone and learned that the staff in charge of the recruitment had all fallen ill, so the recruitment process was postponed.

Moreover, medical supplies are currently scarce on the lighthouse, and the hunters must be dispatched urgently to obtain medicine to treat these people.

Upon hearing this news, Jing Yuan immediately went to the Hunter's Supply Depot to find Mark.

He doesn't care when the assessment takes place; what he needs most right now is to go to the ground and kill the Devouring Beasts!

Chapter 8 Stealing from the Ground

Inside the Hunter's Armory, the team members were all busy with their own tasks.

Jingyuan spotted Mark in the crowd and quickly ran over, saying, "Captain Mark, are you going on a mission? Take me with you!"

Mark said seriously, "This mission is urgent, I don't have time for you. We'll do it next time!"

"I don't need your help! I'm capable of protecting myself."

Mark turned to look at Jingyuan and said earnestly, "Jingyuan, the ground isn't as simple as you think. Let's wait until next time!"

After Mark finished speaking, he patted Jingyuan on the shoulder and then left.

Jingyuan was somewhat disappointed, but upon closer reflection, it would be very difficult to get someone like Mark to break the rules for him.

It seems I'll have to figure it out myself.

The hunters always send so many people, including not only team members but also many commoners.

Jingyuan changed his clothes and mingled with the crowd of commoners before boarding the vehicle.

No one noticed, and no one questioned them.

The common people are cheap labor and cannon fodder; nobody cares.

Moreover, most of the Dust People are numb and honest, and when Jing Yuan mingled among them, none of them noticed anything unusual.

Jing Yuan sat in the armored vehicle as the elevator platform slowly descended to the ground.

When carrying out a mission, the hunter will choose to land at the nearest resource marker.

The vehicle stopped after about ten minutes.

A hunter clad in armor summoned everyone to disembark.

The young men sitting opposite Jingyuan had blank expressions, but they quickly got off the bus after hearing the instructions.

Jingyuan also got out of the car. He saw the Dust People starting to unload weapons and ammunition from the car, so he followed suit.

On the other side, two members of the Hunters team and the Dust People unloaded an exoskeleton armor from the vehicle.

This thing is a gravitational body.

Jingyuan learned to drive simulators at school, and had very few opportunities to drive real ones.

Moreover, the teaching gravity bodies left in the lighthouse were all retired; this was the first time he had ever seen a gravity body still in service on the ground.

The paint on the Gravity body also has bullet holes and claw marks, which adds to its imposing appearance.

"You all get ready here, we'll go in and take a look!" Mark loaded his pistol and then led Ran Bing and ten others into a building.

Jingyuan observed the exterior of the building, which had a cross symbol on it, suggesting it was a hospital or similar place.

After Mark led his team into the building, a dozen or so people remained outside, including members of the Hunters and Dust People.

The hunters stood guard with guns at their sides, while the Dust People prepared their gravity bodies.

Jingyuan disguised himself as a commoner, but he didn't know how to do the work of a commoner.

He went to the weapons box next to him, looked at the weapons inside, and couldn't help but pick them up and stroke them.

The real deal is definitely different!

Snapped!

Jingyuan was suddenly slapped on the head.

The opponent was very strong, but fortunately, after his body was strengthened, his ability to withstand blows also increased.

Although nothing was wrong, Jingyuan looked back at the other person with great displeasure.

He was a young man wearing hunter armor and sporting a beard.

Seeing Jing Yuan turn around, he angrily rebuked him, "Don't you know that commoners can't touch the weapons of the common people?"

Jingyuan said irritably, "If you can't touch it, you can't touch it. Just say it nicely. Why did you have to resort to violence?"

When a commoner is beaten, they usually slink away in disgrace.

But Jingyuan, instead of admitting his mistake, questioned him. This was seen as a great disrespect by the upper class.

"Are you looking for death?!" The man with the mustache raised his hand, ready to slap Jing Yuan again and teach him a lesson about respect.

Jing Yuan stared intently at the other person, watching as his hand fell.

Snapped!

The slap was crisp and loud.

Upon seeing this, a young man from the dusty world rushed over, wanting to help his companion out of the predicament.

The other hunters watched the show, except for one blonde girl who ran over, calling out, "Donnie..."

Before the blonde girl could finish speaking, the mustachioed youth was kicked away by the dustman in front of him!

Everyone was shocked.
