C24 Come Out!!

Genetic power and psychic force both have their own hierarchies.

From the lowest to the highest, the levels are yellow, green, red, blue, and purple!

Of course, there are even more legendary tiers above purple, but Chu Yi didn't know the details.

This information wasn't something he could just look up online!

Any genetic power that manifested a color was a mark of genius.

A warrior with yellow genetic power would be considered a prodigy even among Third or Fourth Level civilizations.

On Earth, such an individual could easily be deemed a top-tier genius.

As for green...

It was the mark of a rare talent, the kind that might not emerge in a province for decades!

Such exceptional beings were scarce, even in the top three elite academies!

A talent with green genetic power was an absolute treasure within a First Level civilization.

And red...

To be frank, if Chu Yi's red genetic power were to become known, the top three academies would surely be stirred into action!

Chu Yi wouldn't have to lift a finger; people would be clamoring to help him awaken his genetic power!

Mrs. Yanran's eyes burned with intensity as she gazed at Chu Yi, unable to hide her covetousness.

"Typically, one can't assess the level of genetic power until it has been awakened."

"However..."

Mrs. Yanran glanced at the test instrument in Chu Yi's hands.

"This instrument isn't a product of the Terran Federation..."

That explained it.

Chu Yi mused that if such a device were easily mass-produced, he couldn't vouch for other regions, but leaders in the Adirang Region would surely go door-to-door to conduct measurements.

"Of course, this device is ineffective on ordinary people."

Chu Yi nodded in comprehension.

"By the way, little brother, would you be interested in joining me for dinner tonight, and perhaps..."

Mrs. Yanran's hand traced circles on Chu Yi's chest.

Chu Yi's smile was radiant, yet he firmly shook his head, "Sister, I'm genuinely afraid you might devour me."

Indeed, Chu Yi was sincerely concerned!

With those words, Chu Yi gently removed Mrs. Yanran's hand and waved goodbye, "Mrs. Yanran, I hope that in the future—"

"Don't see me again..."

With those words, Chu Yi walked away without a backward glance.

Watching his retreating figure, Mrs. Yanran playfully licked her crimson lips, her allure undeniable. Yet, her eyes now held a peculiar glint, devoid of their former seductive charm.

Having left the building, Chu Yi intended to return home.

But this time...

He paused briefly, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

He hailed a public flying car and set his destination for the city outskirts before speeding off into the distance.

In this world, despite the Demon Clan being exiled to a forbidden zone, with formidable powers guarding the periphery, the wilderness remained perilously untamed.

It had been three hundred years since the resurgence of spiritual energy.

The world was still amidst its revival.

Hidden in the deep mountains of the wilderness, no one could be certain if there were any Demonic Beasts or vegetation awakening or evolving sentience.

A moment's carelessness could easily be fatal.

Such dangers were commonplace, to the point where it would be odd if the wilderness didn't claim the lives of a few adventurers daily.

Since arriving in this world, Chu Yi's life had revolved around a simple routine between home and school. He had barely explored the city of Redmarsh, let alone its outskirts.

Yet, this time, he chose to venture into the outskirts.

The public flying cars operated autonomously. Once the destination was set, they would ferry passengers there and depart upon arrival.

These cars could only take one to the outskirts, not beyond the city limits.

For Chu Yi, however, the outskirts were sufficient.

It was quiet enough for him there.

Stepping off the flying car, Chu Yi walked in silence along the suburban roads.

Despite the increased dangers, the air quality and other environmental aspects had significantly improved compared to the old world.

Such fresh air was unheard of in the past Redmarsh.

Chu Yi was in no rush. He continued to walk quietly, steadily moving forward.

Eventually, after two hours, it was already afternoon.

The Chu Yi of the past would not have been able to endure for so long, but now, such a feat was trivial for him.

After what felt like an eternity, Chu Yi finally came to a halt. He surveyed the tranquil world around him, a peculiar smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "You've really outdone yourselves, tracking me for such a distance..."

Silence hung in the air behind him.

With a gentle shake of his head, Chu Yi mused, "You've been on my tail since I left the building. Did you honestly think I was oblivious to your presence?" At that moment, he cast a knowing glance over his left shoulder, his eyes alight with a certain intensity. "Show yourselves!"

His command boomed like thunder, resonating through the heavens and earth—a formidable sound of thunder, a premier technique of the immortal arts from the Immortal Demon World. Had he been able to fully unleash his genetic power, Chu Yi's voice alone could have fractured the very fabric of space. But even now, without that level of destructive force, it was enough to intimidate any lurking foes into the open.

The air seemed to ripple as if disturbed by an unseen force. Chu Yi recognized it as the work of high-tech equipment. Moments later, three figures emerged slowly from their concealment. They regarded Chu Yi with an odd glint in their icy stares. "Knowing we were tracking you, you still dared to venture alone into this deserted place. Should we commend your bravery or lament your foolishness?"

Chu Yi was tempted to mock their choice of black attire in the daylight—hardly inconspicuous. But he restrained himself. After all, they were formidable adversaries, and he felt compelled to offer these strong individuals a modicum of respect. Just a modicum...

"A Silver Warrior and two at the Bronze Level," Chu Yi noted, the strange smile still present.

The trio in black remained silent, their frosty gazes fixed on him.

Chu Yi shook his head slightly, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "It seems my dear sister Yanran truly intends to devour me." And when he spoke of being devoured, he meant it quite literally—not in the metaphorical sense, but actual consumption.

"You should be able to reveal your true selves now," he continued. "Fighting in this form must be quite restrictive to your abilities." Despite Chu Yi's provocations, the black-clad figures remained stoically silent, perhaps puzzled by his apparent death wish.

But this time...

In a flash, a tumultuous glint appeared in the eyes of the three men clad in black. "You, you know who we are?!"

Chu Yi shook his head, "Knowing you is out of the question. How could I possibly have any contact with you?"

"However, I possess an exceptional insight and could tell right away that you're not human!"

"You are not human!

It wasn't just the trio in black; even Mrs. Yanran from earlier wasn't human!

Chu Yi's strength may be modest, but his perception in certain areas is beyond what even the most advanced technology can detect!

Mrs. Yanran had hidden herself well, yet the aura she inadvertently exuded didn't escape Chu Yi's notice.

Demons!

Not Demonic Beasts, but demons!

A Demonic Beast is merely a beast.

But a demon represents the evolution of a beast.

The power of a demon might not always surpass that of a Demonic Beast, but demons are without a doubt a superior life form, an evolutionary state of Demonic Beasts.

Around the Immortal Demon Temple, numerous formidable demons who sought its power perished, and Chu Yi was exceptionally attuned to the essence of these creatures.

Thus, upon encountering Mrs. Yanran, he immediately recognized her true nature.

His presence here now was deliberate.

Though he was clueless about how she managed to blend into the human world with such a guise, these concerns were beyond Chu Yi's purview.

Given her demonstrated capabilities, Chu Yi was in no position to cross her.

Upon his departure, Chu Yi felt a deep unease about being followed, prompting him to head towards the outskirts.

Chu Yi was aware that he was temporarily safe within Redmarsh, but once his adversary ascertained his weaknesses, they would strike.

And that could potentially endanger his own parents!

Currently, he was just a penniless young man with no connections; seeking help from others was futile. He had to face this challenge alone.

Moreover, it was crucial to remember that while these demons wouldn't dare to act rashly within the city limits, Chu Yi was also...

The three demons stared at Chu Yi, their expressions filled with horror. "How did you come to know this?"

This was a critical matter. If others learned of this young man's method, their ability to navigate the human world would be severely hindered.

Initially, the task of capturing the young human was merely an order from their sovereign, Mrs. Yanran. To them, Chu Yi was nothing more than Mrs. Yanran's quarry, mere 'nourishment' to aid in their cultivation practices.

However, the situation had changed. Chu Yi had uncovered their secret and could even see right through them. Consequently, he was no longer suitable as 'nourishment.' They needed to extract from Chu Yi how he had come to learn their secret.

Initially, the trio had intended to simply eliminate Chu Yi, but they now considered a different approach. There is a vast difference between capturing and killing, yet these three Demonic Beasts were brimming with confidence. They were, after all, Demonic Beasts, beings that could effortlessly overpower human experts at the same level.

In a flash, garments were torn asunder, revealing three imposing Demonic Beasts standing before Chu Yi.
