Chapter 167: Human Bomb
In fact, Ye Luo's intuition was not wrong. After becoming a Cultivator, both Ye Huan's appearance and demeanor had undergone a tremendous transformation compared to before. However, the most significant change was Ye Huan's current strength. Therefore, when Ye Huan brought Ye Luo to the cafeteria in the military camp, he shared his experiences of traveling to another continent and becoming a Cultivator. This revelation cleared up Ye Luo's confusion, but for someone like Ye Luo, who had never been to another continent, it didn't stir any emotional waves.
As he stuffed various breakfast items into his mouth, Ye Luo thought about how Ye Huan had not mentioned his Summoner level. Unable to help himself, he asked in an elder's tone, "By the way, young master, you must have reached Fourth-Rank Summoner by now, right?"
Fourth-Rank? Upon hearing Ye Luo's words, Ye Huan's expression turned somewhat strange. He was unsure whether to respond or not. After all, for others, leveling up in the Professional ranks was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Yet for him, in less than a year, he had advanced six levels. Even he found it hard to believe, let alone his butler.
After a moment of silence without a response from Ye Huan, Ye Luo stopped eating and looked up in surprise. Upon seeing Ye Huan's stiff expression, he exclaimed, "Young master, you can't still be at the Third-Rank Summoner stage, can you?"
"Ye Butler, please don't jump to conclusions."
With a mix of amusement and exasperation, Ye Huan truly wondered what thoughts were running through Ye Luo's mind. After all, he was recognized as a genius by the Court Chief Summoner; how could he possibly still be stuck at Third-Rank? Seeing the curious look on Ye Luo's face, Ye Huan decided not to hide it any longer and added, "To be honest with you! I am already a Sixth-Level Summoner."
"Uh... At such a young age, being a Sixth-Level Summoner seems quite challenging for you. You mustn't lose heart..."
Caught off guard and unable to process this information immediately, Ye Luo began reciting his prepared words. However, before he could finish speaking, he realized something was off. His eyes widened in shock as if they might pop out of their sockets. It took him a moment to react before he managed to stammer out two words: "Sixth level?!"
Having anticipated this reaction from Ye Luo long ago, Ye Huan wasn't surprised but nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, it's Sixth level. If you don't believe me, take a look!"
As they spoke, Ye Huan took out the Summoning Book, which contained enough Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to reveal his current identity as a Sixth-Level Summoner.
Seeing the 16k-sized Summoning Book, Ye Luo, an Eighth-Level Practitioner, felt his mind struggling to comprehend the situation. In less than a year, Ye Huan had transformed from an ordinary person into a Sixth-Level Summoner?
Such talent was truly astonishing.
However, before Ye Huan could finish showcasing his Summoning Book to Ye Luo, the soldiers of Tianyue City arrived for their meal. The cafeteria, specially built for the members of Dragon Hall, quickly filled to capacity.
Earlier that morning, while the members of Dragon Hall were enhancing their abilities and leaving, Ye Huan had been with Ye Luo. No one had the chance to express their gratitude to Ye Huan. Now, without exception, every member of Dragon Hall who passed by Ye Huan greeted him with a "Thank you, Young Master," leaving Ye Luo, who sensed the Fifth-Level Warrior aura emanating from them, utterly shocked.
One, two, three, four...
A total of three hundred members of Dragon Hall walked past, each uttering the same phrase. This left the already stunned Ye Luo frozen in his wooden chair as he counted the numbers and murmured to himself, "What on earth happened while I was captured for six months? Is this still the world I used to know?"
Sitting across from Ye Luo and listening intently to everything he said, Ye Huan found it strange. Six months ago was when Ye Tian and Ye Luo disappeared from Northern Liang City. How had Ye Luo been captured by Easterners?
With various questions swirling in his mind, Ye Huan couldn't help but ask Ye Luo everything he wanted to know: "Ye Butler, you say you've been captured for six months? How is that possible? The warriors from Japan shouldn't have arrived in Huaxia yet six months ago. Also, where is my father now?"
As a barrage of questions flew out, Ye Luo did not provide answers but instead urged Ye Huan to tell him what had happened during those six months and how so many members of Dragon Hall came under his command.
Reluctantly, despite his myriad doubts, Ye Huan slowly recounted everything that had transpired over the past six months. Particularly when he mentioned several countries uniting to attack Huaxia, Ye Luo slammed his hand on the table in anger. He was furious and wished he could immediately confront those troublemakers. It wasn't until Ye Huan revealed that he had just conquered Tianyue City that Ye Luo's mood calmed somewhat, and he looked at Ye Huan with newfound admiration.
After a moment of silence, slowly, Ye Luo began to share his experiences from the past six months. It turned out that during the battle in Northern Liang City, he and Ye Tian had chosen to split up in order to evade the pursuit of the Mysterious Old Man. Ye Tian headed north into the Southern Xiongnu Empire while Ye Luo fled south towards an island. Unfortunately, due to his severe injuries after passing through the royal capital, he lacked the strength to continue and decided to hide on Willow Mountain near Willow Village to recuperate quietly.
This situation had lasted for over three months. Just as Ye Luo's injuries were nearly healed, a group of Easterners appeared in Willow Village. Their strength was quite formidable, and during an unexpected encounter with them, Ye Luo was outnumbered and captured.
"So, Ye Butler, what’s the deal with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within you? I heard from some ninjas from Japan that you seemed to have been taken for experiments?"
After Ye Luo finished speaking, although he felt regret for not obtaining any news about Ye Tian, Ye Huan immediately recalled the circumstances when he discovered Ye Luo and posed a new question.
As if lost in memories, even though Ye Luo was an Eighth-Level Warrior, a trace of fear crossed his face. After a moment, he spoke again: "Yes, they are using me for experiments. By chance, I overheard several ninjas mention that I am not the only specimen. In every city and village they occupy, there is a test subject like me. The purpose is to detonate us on the battlefield to invade Jiuzhou..."
"What?!"
Startled, Ye Huan jumped to his feet. He clearly understood the catastrophic consequences if the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy stored within Ye Luo were detonated. Moreover, if every city and village they occupied had such human bombs, it meant that there could be numerous Human Bombs within Huaxia Nation. If they were deployed to the battlefield...
