There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came a deep, resonant voice, tinged with a hint of mockery: "What? Little Su, I can smell the gunpowder in your breath even through the phone line. Are you badmouthing me behind my back again, accusing me of favoritism?"

Su Qiong rolled her eyes, completely unfazed: "So what if I scold you? You did it, and now you won't let people talk about it? Don't you feel any remorse for assigning those S-rank soldiers to the Azure Dragon Army?"

"Alright, alright, stop throwing a tantrum."

The minister's voice suddenly became more serious: "The Azure Dragon Army did indeed rob a lot of people just now, but I haven't forgotten about your God-Slaying Army. As soon as the news came, you were the first person I thought of."

"Really?"

Su Qiong looked incredulous: "You really have such good intentions? Are you trying to give me some unwanted D-rank profession to fill a quota?"

"Level D?"

The minister chuckled on the other end of the phone, a laugh that sounded rather meaningful.

"Su Qiong, listen carefully. This time, what I'm giving you isn't S-rank, nor is it SS-rank."

"Just now, Tianqi City reported a special case. The profession is unique, and the ability involves 'conceptual' level rules."

"Based on the initial assessment by the AI, its potential and value..."

The minister paused, then said, slowly and deliberately, "It's immeasurable."

"What did you say?!"

Su Qiong's hand gripping the receiver tightened suddenly.

The anger on her face vanished instantly, replaced by incredulous shock.

Conceptual level?!

As a high-ranking member of the legion, she knew all too well what those three words meant!

That means breaking common sense, ignoring hierarchy, and being truly... invincible!

"You...you're not kidding? Do you think those vampires from the Azure Dragon Army would let such a precious gem go? Would it even be our turn?"

Su Qiong felt like she was dreaming.

"The Azure Dragon Army?"

The minister snorted. "They were busy grabbing those elemental mages, their phone was busy. I intercepted this message and gave it to you. What? You don't want it? If you don't want it, I'll give it to the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger armies. They're..."

"I want it! Anyone who says no! I'll fight anyone who tries to take it from me!"

Su Qiong screamed, almost blowing the roof off.

She grabbed a hat from the table and put it on her head, her eyes burning with a fierce fire—a thirst for talent and a fervent desire to turn her life around.

"Location! Name! I... no, I'll personally lead the team there! Even if I have to tie them up, I'll bring them back to the Godslayer Legion!"

"Gu Xu, No. 3 High School of Tianqi City".

The minister gave the coordinates, and then added earnestly, "Su Qiong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Remember, be polite, and don't bring your thuggish attitude with you. If you scare the kid, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Understood! Mission accomplished!"

Su Qiong slammed down the phone.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at Jiang Shu, who was still completely bewildered.

A breathtaking smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Xiao Jiang, don't just stand there!"

"Grab your weapons! Bring the best gifts we can give you! Let's head to Tianqi City!"

"Please bring our...Crown Prince back to the palace!"

……

The air in the principal's office was too quiet, with only the hands of the vintage wall clock ticking tirelessly, making a rhythmic "tick-tock" sound.

After making that call that went straight to Heaven, Liu Zhenguo felt like he had just finished a marathon.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while glancing at Gu Xu sitting opposite him with the eyes of someone looking at a priceless treasure.

Gu Xu, who was the focus of attention, appeared unusually calm, even somewhat bored.

"Since we have to wait a while, why not study the new ability?"

Gu Xu pondered in his mind. After the upgrade, in addition to the surge in attributes, the range of his talent "Domain of Calamity" also expanded to a radius of two meters.

Two meters may not sound like much, but in actual combat, that's the distance between life and death.

With a thought, an invisible force field, perceptible only to himself, quietly unfolded.

Within this range, a wondrous feeling of control over everything arose spontaneously, as if every grain of dust in the air was under his control.

"Absolute dominion...does that mean I can also control objects within this one-meter space?"

Gu Xu's gaze fell on the exquisite white porcelain teacup on the coffee table.

"receive!"

With a thought, the teacup vanished into thin air.

It wasn't some magical illusion; it was a genuine erasure from this dimension, leading to a hazy, still, strange space—a storage space within the Domain of Calamity.

"put!"

The next second, the teacup reappeared steadily in its original spot, without even disturbing the slightest ripple in the tea.

Gu Xu's eyes lit up.

This is no ordinary domain; it's practically a large, portable space warehouse!

Moreover, it's the kind of top-tier space equipment that requires no loading time and allows for instant access!

In this world, even a storage ring with only a few cubic meters of space can fetch an astronomical price, so the value of his Calamity Domain, which grows with his level, is simply immeasurable.

"Not only can it make you invincible, but it can also be used as a porter. This skill is extremely practical."

Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction, feeling a little thirsty. He was about to reach for the oranges on the table when a red shadow beat him to it.

It was the eerie bride who had been standing silently behind him.

She didn't speak, but slowly extended her pale, jade-like hand, her fingertips gently touching the golden orange.

The once eerie scarlet fingernails were now nimbly gliding across the orange peel.

Not a drop of juice spilled; the orange peel peeled off like flower petals, revealing the plump, glistening flesh inside.

The ghost bride gently broke off a segment of orange and held it to Gu Xu's lips.

Although her head was still covered by a red veil, her expression was not visible.

But Gu Xu inexplicably felt a sense of... anticipation?

Gu Xu opened his mouth and bit into the orange segment, a burst of cool, sweet juice exploding in his mouth.

"It's quite sweet."

Gu Xu subconsciously made a comment.

Hearing his praise, the ghost bride seemed very happy, and the cold aura surrounding her softened a bit.

She continued peeling the orange, her movements very elegant.

Just then, a mosquito, oblivious to the danger, perhaps attracted by the sweetness of the orange, buzzed over and was about to land on Gu Xu's neck.

"Buzz—"

The buzzing of the mosquitoes' wings stopped abruptly.

In that instant, Gu Xu felt an extremely chilling aura erupt from beside him, but the chill bypassed him and locked onto the mosquito.

pat.

The mosquito turned into a tiny ice crystal, fell straight onto the coffee table, and shattered into powder.

The temperature in the entire principal's office dropped several degrees in that instant.

Liu Zhenguo, who was drinking tea to calm his nerves, was startled by the sudden chill, and his hand trembled, spilling the scalding tea directly onto his crotch.

"Aww!"

The principal let out a short scream, but upon seeing the chilling bride, he forced the scream back down.

As Gu Xu watched this scene, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This precise "physical cooling" and "mosquito extermination service," while a bit hardcore in its approach, reveals a genuine protectiveness and possessiveness.

"This isn't a female ghost, it's clearly a sweet and caring daughter!"

Gu Xu sighed inwardly, his gaze towards the ghost bride softening even more.

In this "warm" yet slightly eerie atmosphere.

Rumble—!!!

A low, dense rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky outside the window.

At first, it was just a faint tremor, like muffled thunder rolling across the horizon.

But just a few seconds later, the sound became deafening, and even the heavy solid wood desk in the principal's office began to tremble slightly, and the water in the teacup rippled violently.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

Ignoring the water stains on his pants, Liu Zhenguo sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the window in three quick steps.

Gu Xu also stood up curiously and walked to the French windows to look outside.

Even though Gu Xu was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the scene before him.

What was once a clear blue sky was now filled with a dozen or so massive steel behemoths hovering in the dark sky!

That's the newest heavy attack helicopter in the Divine Xia Empire—the "Black Hawk"!

The jet-black fuselage reflected a chilling light in the sunlight, and the heavy machine guns and missile pods mounted under the fuselage exuded a suffocatingly violent aesthetic.

The huge rotors spun at high speed, creating a violent airflow that lifted the dust from the playground into the air, forming a small dust storm.

"Da da da da da..."

The sound of the propellers tearing through the air struck everyone's heart like a war drum.

At the horizon, accompanied by the tremors of the ground, a torrent of steel was rushing into the campus avenue.

Those were more than a dozen fully armed [Wraith] armored personnel carriers!

The striking blood-red shield emblem on the vehicle, along with the two crossed swords behind it, was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
