Armor Guardians

Chapter 52 The Dragon King Returns
The helicopter didn't land as usual; instead, it dropped a rope, making it clear that Xia Qianmeng should climb up herself and not waste time.

Xia Qianmeng looked at the rope, a slight smile playing on her lips. In the past, she might have had a hard time getting up there, but now... she didn't need these things at all.

With a single leap, Xia Qianmeng soared into the sky with remarkable lightness, landing precisely in the helicopter's cabin.

Upon seeing this, the pilot was somewhat surprised, but quickly accepted the fact, because he had encountered such experts before, but these experts were mostly very old people, and Xia Qianmeng, being so young, did not seem like that kind of expert at all.

After Xia Qianmeng boarded the plane, the pilot immediately took her away from the island. Without Xia Qianmeng saying anything, he already knew her destination.

Seeing Xia Qianmeng leave, the many experts on the island secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They wondered where Ye Ying had found this little monster. If they hadn't been so good at dealing with her, they might have been completely defeated by Xia Qianmeng.

After the island disappeared from sight, Xia Qianmeng opened the bundle Ye Ying had given her. There weren't many items, but most of them were useful.

The first thing that caught Xia Qianmeng's eye was two sets of women's clothing. Since it was summer, Ye Ying had prepared dresses for her without any surprise.

Moreover, there were two cards and a cell phone inside the clothes. One card was Xia Qianmeng's new Chinese resident ID card, which showed her gender as female. The other card was a bank card with a PIN sticker on it, presumably for Xia Qianmeng's mission expenses.

But what is my mission upon completing my apprenticeship?

Thinking of this, Xia Qianmeng turned her gaze to her phone, then picked it up and pressed the power button...

This phone must be some kind of cutting-edge technology; even on the ocean, the signal wasn't affected at all. Then, Xia Qianmeng saw an unread message: "Mission: Retrieve the core of a Super-grade Ability Beast." A Super-grade Ability Beast? Xia Qianmeng closed the message and looked at the scenery outside. She hadn't left the island for a year and a half, so it was inevitable that she would be curious about the things outside.

As time went by, Xia Qianmeng found these places increasingly familiar. Yes, wasn't this the city she had lived in before? Now that she was back, she felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

The helicopter landed on the rooftop of Zhong Shaohua's company building. The person there to greet Xia Qianmeng was undoubtedly Zhong Shaohua himself, as he had received a message from headquarters that morning saying that someone from headquarters was coming…

Zhong Shaohua thought it was some expert from headquarters on a mission, but when Xia Qianmeng stepped off the helicopter, he was completely shocked. He couldn't help but rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

In the end, Xia Qianmeng was the first to greet Zhong Shaohua with a smile: "Uncle Shaohua, I'm back~"

Upon seeing that it really was Xia Qianmeng, Zhong Shaohua asked incredulously, "Xia Qianmeng, is it really you? You've finished training?"

After a year and a half of training and development, fourteen-year-old Xia Qianmeng has grown into a graceful young woman. In particular, Xia Qianmeng is wearing a black short-sleeved training uniform, which further highlights her beauty.

"Yes, I've finished my training and I'm here to complete my graduation mission," Xia Qianmeng said with a smile. God knows how she managed to get through those training days.
