On the other side.
Li Yu wasn't in a hurry on her way back to Water City, and Fu Xiyao and the Seventh Group were safe in Water City.
Xiao Hei seemed to sense Li Yu's calm mood and immediately started to slack off, leisurely jogging along.
Every so often, Li Yu and Xiao Hei would go to the surrounding hills to enjoy the scenery.
However, all I could see was the same dark clouds and rain in the sky.
The world was shrouded in mist, and there wasn't much to see; it wasn't as magnificent as the view I had seen at the Huanglong River.
The roaring torrent of the Huanglong River, and the magnificent momentum of the river merging with the sky and earth, are still fresh in Li Yu's memory.
Two days later.
When Li Yu rode his little black horse slowly back to Shuicheng, the scene before him truly surprised him.
"One! Two!"
A well-trained army from Zhongzhou, armed and in perfect formation, marched in powerful, synchronized steps, their movements creating a unified sound.
If Li Yu hadn't recognized these people as members of his Seventh Regiment, he wouldn't have believed that the Seventh Regiment had undergone such a complete transformation in such a short time.
When Li Yu approached, he was even more surprised to sense the energy fluctuations within the group.
He could sense that the entire training team consisted of Awakened Ones.
Li Yu opened her eyes wide and checked again before confirming that she hadn't misread it; the training formation in front of her was indeed a team of awakened individuals.
He could truly feel the tremendous changes in the Seventh Regiment.
When Ma Yuanbai strode over to greet Li Yu, Li Yu, still somewhat uncertain, asked him:
"Is this the Seventh Regiment?"
"It can't be wrong." Ma Yuanbai nodded with a smile.
Only then did Li Yu believe that the Seventh Regiment was completely different.
Ma Yuanbai was equally shocked when he got close to Li Yu; he could feel the dramatic changes in Li Yu.
When his probing energy touched Li Yu, it all seemed to sink into an endless abyss. Li Yu, standing in front of him, was like a black hole, his strength unfathomable.
After the soldiers at the gate reported back, news of Li Yu's return spread quickly.
Upon hearing that Li Yu had returned, City Lord Yunming personally came to greet him.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyao hurriedly ran over, her eyes filled with surprise. Yun Shui Ning quickly followed behind Fu Xiyao, her expression somewhat complicated.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Xin and Du Xiayue, members of the Thunder Bureau team who had promised Li Yu to wait for her in Shuicheng, also rushed over.
At this time, Liu Xin had basically recovered and was out of danger, with an expectant expression on his face.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Li Yu.
They could all clearly sense that Li Yu seemed different now.
After all, such a noticeable change, even in one's aura, is truly hard to ignore.
Fu Xiyao didn't care about any changes and immediately threw herself into Li Yu's arms, hugging him tightly as if she were embracing the whole world.
"Li Yu... what happened to you?" Fu Xiyao looked up, a hint of unease in her eyes.
She had a strange feeling that although Li Yu was right in front of her, she seemed to be getting further and further away.
Seeing Fu Xiyao's excited expression, Li Yu was a little puzzled, but still smiled slightly:
"nothing."
Li Yu gently patted Fu Xiyao's back to soothe her emotions, without saying anything in detail.
Du Xiayue, who rushed over, was excitedly blushing, snapping photos of Li Yu and Fu Xiyao with her mini camera.
Seeing this, the others came to their senses and gathered around.
“Li Yu, your strength…” City Lord Yun Ming’s voice came.
His pupils were fixed on the faint starlight around Li Yu. If it were Li Yu in his current state protecting him, he was afraid that the disgusting Young Master Ao would be no match for Li Yu at all.
"It seems quite a few things have changed while I was away," Li Yu finally spoke, her voice as usual.
Yun Ming stepped forward, a complex look flashing in his eyes:
"Li Yu, I've taken excellent care of your Seventh Regiment, arranging the best accommodations for them. You should know that even the Central Plains Military Headquarters doesn't offer this kind of treatment."
Yunming paused and continued:
“Those weapons were resources that were directly allocated; I had no right to question them.”
"Oh?" Li Yu raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze to Ma Yuanbai.
Ma Yuanbai stepped forward and explained, "That's true."
"After you left here, one day, the Thunder Bureau of Central State sent a team, saying that they wanted to carry out a 'comprehensive upgrade' of the Seventh Regiment."
“Thunder Bureau…” Li Yu turned to look at Liu Xin.
Liu Xin walked over with a big smile: "We're all on the same side, so upgrading is necessary."
"Besides, they're just old-fashioned weapons brought in from nearby, nothing special."
Li Yu's gaze lingered on Liu Xin's face for a moment, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly:
"It seems the Thunder Bureau is being quite generous this time."
His tone was slightly sarcastic, as if he was somewhat surprised by the Thunder Bureau's actions.
Liu Xin, however, attempted to downplay the unusual nature of the matter, explaining:
"After all, you are now an advisor to our Thunder Bureau, so we must take you seriously."
"If you need anything afterward, just let the Thunder Bureau's branches in various locations know, and they will do their best to fulfill your request." After saying this, Liu Xin suddenly asked, seemingly casually:
"Li Yu, your current strength is already at the sixth level of Awakener, right?"
"Sixth rank?" Yun Shui Ning, who was standing behind, suddenly widened her eyes. Li Yu had such a powerful aura, and he was only sixth rank? She must be seeing things.
"It's sixth rank." Li Yu didn't hide anything and nodded in acknowledgment.
