Chapter 209: Hidden Killing World

At the same time, Ning County No. 1 High School.

Sun Yunwei, who was memorizing his lessons, was called out by his homeroom teacher. Accompanied by the principal, he learned that he had been granted the opportunity to be recommended to the National Defense University.

This meant that he didn’t have to take the college entrance exam and could even choose his major after enrolling at the National Defense University.

Afterward, he borrowed his teacher’s phone to inform his parents at home.

It took just fifteen minutes for Sun Yunwei’s parents to receive the news and arrive at the school.

Once they realized this wasn’t a false message but indeed true, Sun Yunwei’s parents were thrilled.

However, they were also curious—after all, their son hadn’t participated in math competitions or won any awards. Based on his past grades, he could only attend a regular first-tier university.

If he performed exceptionally, he might make it into a 211 university.

But now, a teacher from the National Defense University personally delivered the acceptance letter, so there had to be a reason, right?

When Sun Yunwei’s parents asked for the reason, the teacher from the National Defense University smiled and took out several confidentiality agreements.

“Everyone, today’s matters are state secrets.”

“To avoid any trouble, please sign this confidentiality agreement!”

Thus, with Sun Yunwei’s puzzled expression, he obtained the qualification to attend the National Defense University for his undergraduate studies.

At that moment, teams of agents from the Special Operations Security Bureau swiftly set off to various locations across the country after receiving the highest orders.

Some middle school students were in class when they were informed that they had been granted the opportunity to participate in the National Defense University’s youth program.

Some high school students were taking a practice exam when they suddenly received the news of being recommended to the National Defense University.

Some college students were slacking off in class when they learned that they had been granted the opportunity for postgraduate study at the National Defense University.

There were also working professionals who were giving a PowerPoint presentation, only to be taken away by two men in black and informed that they could join a research institute at the National Defense University as public employees.

A stable job, high salary, and retirement benefits!

In an instant, a large-scale operation unfolded, enveloping various groups and age levels across the country.

Most people faced this unexpected joy with exhilaration once they confirmed it was real news.

However, a portion of people felt uneasy—though this news was indeed thrilling, they sensed something odd about it.

Under normal circumstances, why would the country promote their education and careers without reason?

If there was to be promotion, it should be based on their own efforts and struggles, attained through exams and competition for this precious opportunity.

Of course, they couldn’t oppose such an opportunity if it presented itself.

After all, this was a wonderful chance gifted by the country. If anything was unusual, they could always go to the National Defense University and find out later.

…

On August 10, 2022, in the organization’s office area.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

A gentle breeze wafted through as the Wind God appeared in the empty office area, carrying a backpack.

“Hmm?”

The Wind God set down his backpack and looked around, puzzled. “Where is everyone?”

“Did they all go to explore the Arrow Realm?”

After a quick look around, he was sure that everyone must have left.

Now, he was the only one here.

“Hmm… Since that’s the case, I’ll play a few games. No harm in that, right?”

With a thought, his phone and tablet flew into his hands.

“Brother God of Martial Arts’ martial arts books are a bit too heavy for me right now.”

“I’ll play a couple of games first, then I’ll get back to studying them.”

With that, the Wind God sprawled on the sofa with his phone, kicked off his shoes, and started playing.

Nearby, the invisible wind power did its magic—snacks opened themselves, fruits were sliced automatically, and even his Thermos floated over, filled with his favorite drink.

“Life’s pretty good, huh?”

With a satisfied sigh, the Wind God dove into his game.

A few moments later, just as he was fully immersed, a ripple in space appeared in the center of the office area.

Out stepped the God of Theater, Star God, Shadow God, Fighting God, and Su Wen.

“I still think we need to be cautious about the Holy Spirit clan’s structured system. After all…”

The God of Theater was mid-sentence when he suddenly stopped.

On the other side, the Wind God heard the voices and dropped the half-eaten chip in surprise.

“God of Theater! You’re all back from the Theater World!”

The Wind God quickly stashed his phone and used his wind power to tidy up the snacks, fruits, drinks, and Thermos, then straightened up and said, “You all came back at the perfect time.”

The God of Theater glanced at him and asked, “So, how was your trip to the Arrow Realm?”

The Wind God replied sheepishly, “My experience energy went up by three percent.”

“Hmm?”

The God of Theater raised an eyebrow. “You spent over ten days exploring the Arrow Realm, and all you got was a three percent increase in experience energy?”

Out of all the requirements to advance from the Ninth Level to king level, experience energy is supposed to be the easiest to achieve.

And this is all you managed?

“God of Theater, while I was exploring the Hidden Killing World, I accidentally triggered my fate task,” the Wind God explained.

“I’ve been working on completing it, which is why it took me a bit longer.”

The God of Theater picked up his Thermos and smiled. “So, how’s the fate task going?”

“I haven’t finished it yet!”

“……”

The God of Theater set the Thermos down. “So, in the past ten days, all you’ve accomplished is a three percent increase in experience energy?”

The Star God chimed in, “Xiao Feng, what exactly is your fate task?”

The Wind God replied, “I need to use deep wind power fluctuations to explore the profound information hidden in the three shapeless giant stones at the ancestor site of the Hidden Killing clan.”

“This is my first time dealing with a fate task like this. I’m honestly clueless.”

“That’s why I came back—to ask for advice on how to complete it.”

The Star God thought for a moment. “You actually entered the ancestor site of the Hidden Killing clan?”

The Wind God nodded. “Yes, they treated me with great respect. They even guided me to their ancestor site themselves.”

“How strong is the Hidden Killing clan?”

“I’m not sure, but the squad leader who guided me was at king level.”

“……”

The Star God fell silent.

A squad leader?

At king level?

If that’s the case, the Hidden Killing World must be another top-tier Arrow Realm!

“How did you end up in the Hidden Killing World?” the God of Theater asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The Wind God explained, “I didn’t plan to go there. Originally, I was heading to the Jade Cocoon World to gather some experience energy.”

“But near the Jade Cocoon World, I felt a strange calling from the wind, and my heart started racing.”

“So, I followed the wind’s call and ended up in the Hidden Killing World.”
