The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Wu Jing's anticipation froze before it could fully unfold on her face. She seemed to sense some malice in Wu You's words, and suddenly shivered, shattering all the wonderful fantasies in her mind.

She gaped, asking in surprise, "Huh? No? What would you be doing if I went to university?"

Wu You sat there, leaning back in his chair, his posture still relaxed. He replied casually, "I forgot to tell you, I'm still the principal of Yinhua Martial Arts Academy."

"Well, although he's only an honorary principal, isn't it perfectly normal for a principal to go to the Silver Flower Martial Arts Academy?"

Upon hearing Wu You's words, in addition to Wu Jing, Hua Linlin, who was sitting next to Wu You, and Wu You's parents who were sitting on either side of Wu You, also turned their gazes over.

Four pairs of eyes converged on Wu You almost simultaneously, all asking the same question: "Principal???"

. . .

Seeing the gazes directed at him by all four people, Wu You made no attempt to hide the matter.

He leaned back in his chair and gave a simple explanation of the difference between martial arts and ability users. He mentioned that martial arts is a path that everyone can take, while ability users are a path that requires awakening unique talents. The two have fundamental differences in their systems, but both are considered a kind of extraordinary power.

He then explained why the Bureau of Investigation wanted to establish a martial arts university—ultimately, it was to expand the base of combat power starting from a younger generation, allowing more people to come into contact with and master extraordinary powers at an early age, and increasing the probability of martial artists awakening. This would indirectly increase the number of ability users by increasing the number of martial artists, thereby building up the combat power of the entire human side from the bottom up.

As for why he himself held the title of honorary principal, he didn't elaborate much, only offering a brief explanation.

After explaining, Wu You seemed to remember something and looked to his left and right: "Dad, Mom, I'll get some medicinal herbs later. They're good for your health, so remember to take them on time."

The medicinal herbs he was referring to were naturally those exotic plants brought back from the deep, dark realms.

The large batch of exotic plants that Old Wei had previously allocated to him has now been sent to the Lanhe Survey Bureau.

Those exotic plants can assist martial artists in their cultivation and have a mild effect on improving the physique of ordinary people.

Then, he took out a few folded A4 sheets of paper from his pocket and placed them on the dining table.

The pages were printed with small figures wielding swords. Each figure had a small range of motion and smooth, flowing lines, which was completely different from those aggressive sword techniques that involved leaping and slashing.

He continued, "Mom and Dad, if you want to practice martial arts, this is fine. This sword technique doesn't have any very intense movements, and its effects are mainly focused on conditioning the body, so it's very gentle."

This is a health-preserving sword technique created by Wu You based on basic sword techniques. It has little offensive power and can only be used to regulate the body. It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to practice.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu glanced at the A4 paper on the dining table, nodded, and then looked at each other, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

Then Wu Ma looked at Wu You, and when she spoke, she tried her best to keep her tone relaxed, as if she were talking about something very ordinary:

"Xiaoyou, you're going to Yinhua City soon to be the principal of that martial arts university. You probably won't be going out of the province to carry out any more missions after that, right?"

Wu You naturally noticed the worry in his parents' eyes and knew what they were worried about.

Even though he has tried his best to appear strong, his parents are still somewhat worried.

They didn't care how powerful or capable the martial artists or ability users were; all they knew was that their child might be in danger.

Feeling his parents' concern, Wu You stretched out his arms and gently patted his parents' backs, just like they used to pat him when he was a child: "Don't worry, Dad, Mom, you don't need to do any more missions."

"I'm not going anywhere this time. If you miss me, just give me a call. Lanhe City and Yinhua City aren't far apart, I can come back in no time."

Protecting family is the greatest purpose for which this clone was created.

. . .

After that, the conversation became more relaxed, consisting mainly of casual family chatter and gossip.

During this time, Wu You also made a special mention that his parents could appropriately reveal some information about ability users, zombie species, and the Investigation Bureau to acquaintances and friends.

Of course, this wasn't a whim of his, nor was it a deliberate attempt to show off or flaunt his abilities.

This is the intention of the Bureau of Investigation.

Previously, the General Administration had notified all branches that the existence of ability users and zombie species would be made public soon. The Investigation Bureau would also officially step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight. At that time, a series of supporting policies would be announced, such as "large-scale recruitment of wild ability users into the Investigation Bureau", "outstanding students from various martial arts universities can intern in the Investigation Bureau", and "one person joins the Investigation Bureau, and the whole family receives various subsidies and benefits".

The notice issued by the Investigation Bureau headquarters to its various branches included a directive to "encourage torchbearers to reveal the existence of extraordinary powers to their family, acquaintances, and even friends."

The purpose of this notice is quite clear: the Investigation Bureau is using each torchbearer as a starting point to proactively promote and create a public opinion environment suitable for the public disclosure of extraordinary powers, thus paving the way for future disclosure.

As a member of the Investigation Bureau, it is only natural that Wu You supports the Bureau's policies.

Leisurely time always flies by, and in the midst of our casual conversation, more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Then, a buzzing sound—

Hua Linlin's cell phone suddenly rang twice in her trench coat pocket.

She took out her phone and glanced at the screen; it was a message from her parents.

She stood up, glanced around at the people sitting at the table, and said with appropriate apology, "Excuse me, uncles and aunts, it's getting late, I probably have to go back now."

Wu You also turned his gaze over, but before he could speak, Wu's mother stood up first, moving faster than him, her tone filled with obvious enthusiasm: "Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, we should be thanking you."

Then her gaze naturally fell on Wu You: "It's getting late, Xiao You. It's not safe for Linlin to go out alone at night. Go and see her off."

Upon hearing this, Wu You was speechless: It's not safe to go out at night? Even a third-tier zombie would have to consider its escape speed if it encountered Sister Linlin on the streets of Lanhe City, let alone an ordinary person.

But he stood up without hesitation, nodded and said "Mm".

Not to mention that the two were colleagues, and Hua Linlin had made a special trip today to help him, so it was only right that he see her off.

Besides, he had originally intended to bring it up himself, but his mother beat him to it.
