In the silence, Lu Ning sheathed his crimson sword and said, "We should be able to go now."
He turned around and found everyone staring blankly.
Lu Ning asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Everyone snapped out of their daze. Yan Feng looked at the wide, blood-red road outside, then at Lu Ning, and opened his mouth, exclaiming, "...Holy crap?! What level is your attack power?!"
"I am now at level six."
"You're already at Rank 6?! You've only been in the Mist Bureau for a short time?? No, how could a Rank 6 have such attack power??" Yan Feng felt like he was about to ramble on.
"I have a high-risk soul weapon, and I also have the power to revitalize the soul. Isn't it normal for me to have such destructive power?" Lu Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.
Everyone fell silent.
Is this normal?
Which sixth-tier Awakener could use a high-risk soul weapon like that?
If you just hold it normally, it'll probably get diseased soon, right?
Moreover, this level of soul-shaking power is something that even a Saint might not possess, let alone someone at the sixth rank.
Lu Ning's demonstrated strength made them question their own existence.
However, the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to think about it.
Colin looked at Farin, who was in shock, and asked, "Can we gather the people now?"
Farin snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I'll arrange it right now!"
Farin immediately led his men away, taking everything that should be taken from the border fortress.
As soldiers, they move very quickly.
Before long, the research team that had been conducting research at the border fortress was brought over.
The members of these research teams varied in age, and the leader was an elderly man with white hair.
He was also holding a small black bag in his hands.
Beside the old man, several members of the research team were carrying backpacks of various sizes.
Lu Ning guessed that this must contain experimental data.
The guard who brought the research team members said, "Old Yang, they are members of the rescue team. Just follow them, and they will protect your safety."
Yang Qing nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and came to Colin and the others.
Colin and the others greeted Yang Qing and the others.
Whether it's the mental tempering method or the research on mental pollution, these were all developed by teams of scientists.
Even if these scientists are just ordinary people and not awakened beings, they can still outnumber a large number of awakened beings.
Among them, the top talents in the field of spiritual pollution are even comparable to saints or demigods!
Even though Colin and the others were all fifth-tier awakened individuals, they still showed great respect for these researchers.
These scientists are the light of humanity.
Yang Qing and the others were a bit slow-witted. When Colin and the others greeted them, they nodded in response and then began to observe their surroundings.
Upon seeing the blood-red road outside the city gate, Yang Qing paused, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
He murmured, "This is...deliberate sabotage? This level of destructive power surpasses that of a ninth-tier Awakened who isn't skilled in high-energy combat. Is there a ninth-tier hidden in your team?"
Colin and the others were taken aback, not expecting Yang Qing to draw such a conclusion after just one glance.
Colin shook his head and said, "No, Elder Yang, this destruction was caused by Lu Ning. He is a sixth-order cultivator."
"Sixth rank? Impossible! Even in theory, a sixth rank couldn't cause such destructive power!" Yang Qing shook his head repeatedly, then looked at Lu Ning following Colin's gaze.
Upon seeing the crimson sword in Lu Ning's hand, Yang Qing frowned and said, "A high-risk soul weapon? Something's not right... A sixth-tier cultivator can activate a high-risk soul weapon? Even if they could, they shouldn't be able to achieve this level of destructive power. Did they use Soul-Soul Amplification Power? Even in a perfect Soul-Soul Amplification state, it's impossible to amplify it this much? Unbelievable..."
Yang Qing looked at Lu Ning with curiosity, as if he were looking at a creature he had never seen before.
"Young man, your name is Lu Ning, right? Would you like to collaborate with us on a research project sometime? Don't worry, it won't have any negative impact on your health. Besides, I can help you apply for research achievement awards; the rewards are very generous!"
Lu Ning nodded: "If you have time, no problem."
Yang Qing immediately smiled excitedly: "Thank you so much."
Yang Qing wanted to step forward and reach out to shake Lu Ning's hand, but seeing the scarlet sword in Lu Ning's hand, he didn't dare to get too close.
The mental radiation from high-risk soul artifacts is too much for ordinary people to withstand.
Even if Yang Qing, as a scientist, had certain means of protecting himself from mental pollution, it would be impossible for him to withstand this level of mental pollution.
Behind Yang Qing, some middle-aged and even young men and women were also looking at Lu Ning with curiosity.
They were all very curious about how Lu Ning could achieve such terrifying destructive power at the sixth level.
As the group talked, military vehicles quickly drove out of the border fortress.
Many of these military vehicles were carrying various weapons, ammunition, and other supplies.
There were also guards.
Farin jumped off the first military vehicle.
He said, "It's almost done."
He paused, looked at the guards on the city wall who were using machine guns and soul crystal cannons, and said, "Only they haven't evacuated yet."
Yan Feng immediately said, "Let's go up the city wall and have Lu Ning guard down below. Commander Farin, order them to come down quickly."
Farin nodded quickly: "No problem!"
Farin immediately used a walkie-talkie to notify the guards on the city wall.
Meanwhile, Colin, Yanfeng, and the others jumped onto the city wall.
