"Jiang Li, you finally woke up."
Looking at the warm smile on the black-armored young man in front of him, Jiang Li immediately understood.
Sword bearer!
This is the legendary swordsman!
He looked around quietly and felt that the aura was very flat, but the surge in soul power made him aware of the terrifying power hidden beneath the body.
"Thank you for your concern, Sword Bearer."
Jiang Li nodded politely and prepared to get up from the bed, but Sikong Yang immediately stopped him. Su Yueyue understood and helped Jiang Li sit up on the bed.
In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Li had just woken up from overexertion and was currently weak.
"No need to be so polite. I came here mainly to see what kind of person our little hero is."
Sikong Yang smiled.
Before, he had only watched Jiang Li through the projection, but now that Jiang Li had woken up and he was in close contact with him, Sikong Yang was a little amazed by his unique temperament.
Especially those black eyes, which are extremely deep, as if containing galaxies. This is the external characteristic that appears after the soul strength is enhanced.
"Sword Master, you are too kind. Jiang Li is just doing his best to survive."
Jiang Li smiled faintly. He really didn't think too much about it at that time.
"Good one for doing the best he can."
Sikong Yang gestured for everyone to sit down, then turned to Jiang Li and said.
"Just call me Sikong Yang."
He is not arrogant, after all, he is not too old.
Sikong Yang said seriously, "You may not know how much of an impact it would have had on the entire Federation if you hadn't stopped the madness of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cult this time."
Jiang Li did not interrupt, as he could tell that Sikong Yang had something to say.
Then Sikong Yang solemnly said, "There were a total of 3,423 candidates participating in this mock exam, and a full 3,423 of them were killed by ferocious beasts and beast warriors."
"If you hadn't finally killed all the beast warriors, these 60,000+ examinees would have died, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Even so, among the hundreds of medium-level crimes committed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Cult in recent years, this is still a very serious bloodbath."
Hearing this horrific statistic.
Everyone was stunned.
3,423 students, 3,423 lives. At the prime of life, they passed away so hastily, without even having the chance to witness the prosperity of the world.
Jiang Li fell silent. He hadn't noticed it at the time, but now that it was over, he could understand the horror of it even more. He recalled the gnashing of teeth on Principal Feng Buping's face when he mentioned the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and he gradually began to understand.
Several students who had personally experienced this crisis were pale and had shock in their eyes.
Su Xingchen blurted out, "Hundreds of medium-level cases? How is that possible? This kind of bloody incident hasn't happened in the Federation in decades!!"
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The leaders of the five prestigious schools were fine, having heard something about it. However, Jiang Li and the others felt a little confused. The incident they had seen in the news before, where beast warriors attacked the Information Bureau and killed and injured more than a dozen citizens, was a very serious case.
But the Sword Bearer said that this heinous massacre in which thousands of students died was actually just a so-called medium-level case?
Hundreds of such incidents have occurred in recent years!
Everyone felt like their worldview was shattered.
After all, they are not fools, and their eyes gradually wake up.
There is only one possibility.
That is——
The federal government has been covering up these bloody incidents!
Looking at everyone's eyes, Sikong Yang gave the answer: "Yes, it is just as you think. This is also one of the reasons why I came here this time."
"I hope you can keep this matter to yourself and not tell anyone, not even your parents."
This is certainly not just a hope.
During these three days, ordinary students had already been forced to sign a confidentiality agreement, although they received certain compensation.
"Don't look at me like that. In fact, hiding these murders is not a bad thing for ordinary people in the Federation."
"After all, no one wants to know that the world they live in actually hides such a terrifying crisis."
Sikong Yang felt helpless.
In fact, there have always been two voices among the federal top leaders on whether to make this matter public. Although the voice of concealment still prevails at present, the voices wanting to reveal the truth have become increasingly louder, and Sikong Yang is one of those who tend to the former.
"So, we have been living in a fake world?"
Jiang Li's voice contained a hint of sarcasm. He found it ironic that those who were slaughtered by the Ten Thousand Beasts Cult could not even be mentioned. It was frustrating just thinking about it!
Just to create a so-called peaceful world.
Jiang Li felt a tightness in his chest. Was this the peaceful world that the lower classes hoped for? Or was it what the bigwigs expected?
"This is a helpless move. The Federation is too large, with a population in the hundreds of billions. If there were to be unrest, the consequences would be disastrous."
"The Myriad Beasts Cult's power has expanded too rapidly in recent years. A large number of ordinary warriors have been induced or forcibly transformed into beast warriors. If you can join the Sword Bearers in the future, perhaps you will understand."
Sikong Yang continued to explain, and everyone fell silent.
Although I understand the logic, the feeling of being suffocated keeps rising when I think about not being able to even mention the classmates who had shared life and death with me.
"I understand, Master Swordbearer."
Jiang Li nodded slowly, his words a bit cold. It wasn't that he had a problem with Sikong Yang, but rather that he was unhappy with the Federation. He just silently kept it in mind.
Everyone was silent.
a long time.
"Never mind. You'll understand it slowly in the future."
Sikong Yang did not continue to explain, but instead said: "I came here for two reasons. The first is that I brought you the reward from the Federation, and the second is about the assessment of the Sword Master."
