Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

She said apologetically, "I know that everyone here is a top talent in the country, and I will definitely gain a lot from communicating with them. But I really have a lot of things to do and don't have any extra time. Most importantly, I prefer to be alone and don't like a fixed life, so I'm sorry."

Cui Chengkai wasn't too disappointed when he heard Ye Yu say that.

He knew that Ye Yu had a powerful master, and learning from him would be much faster than trying to figure things out by exchanging ideas here.

Ye Yu continued, "However, if the country faces difficulties and needs my help, I will definitely not hesitate to step up. I am also a member of China and should do my part."

Hearing Ye Yu say that it was his duty, Cui Chengkai couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Many talented young people like Ye Yu are extremely arrogant.

So although Ye Yu rejected his offer, he did not have a bad impression of her.

He cut to the chase and said, "Several of our top-secret research teams have been traitors, and these traitors are among the key leaders of the projects. They also took core data out and handed it over to mercenaries abroad, who then smuggled it away."

"When we received the news, we immediately dispatched special forces to pursue them, but many of our comrades were killed in action. We found this to be very unusual, as we had sent out top-notch personnel, and we had never suffered so many casualties in previous missions. After launching an investigation, we discovered that the problem lay with these mercenaries."

Cui Chengkai looked at Yang Ying at this point, signaling him to continue.

Upon receiving the signal, Yang Ying spoke up: "Our investigation has revealed that every mercenary team has members with superpowers."

"A superhuman?" Ye Yu was very puzzled.

Yang Ying nodded. Seeing that Ye Yu didn't seem to understand people with superpowers, he explained, "They are people who possess superpowers. They are born with the ability to use a supernatural power, such as controlling fire, manipulating water, becoming invisible, or transforming. They use these abilities to cause a lot of trouble for our special forces."

Upon hearing Yang Ying's words, Ye Yu felt a surge of shock.

The ability to control fire, water, invisibility, and transformation—isn't that just like the magic I use? Could there be other cultivators in this world?

Yang Ying added, "We also sent superhumans to resist, but the enemy has more people, and we can't protect them all."

"Are those superhumans very powerful? Are there different levels of superhuman abilities?" Ye Yu asked carefully.

“Superpowers also have levels.” Yang Ying nodded. “Everyone has a superpower, which is divided into ten levels, with level one being the lowest and level ten being the highest. Some conventional weapons are not very effective against them.”

Ye Yu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can each person only use one superpower?"

Seeing Yang Ying nod, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was still a certain difference between these superhumans and cultivators.

Because once you embark on the path of cultivation, you can discover the laws governing all things in the world.

They can steal the energy of heaven and earth to survive, and refine the essence of the five elements to protect themselves. Once their thoughts are clear, they can use the power of the five elements to create spells of various attributes, unlike those with superpowers who can only use a single superpower.

“The superhumans we’ve encountered so far are all level two or three.” Yang Ying paused for a moment, then continued, “However, according to intelligence, most of the mercenaries this time are level four superhumans, and their superhuman abilities are related to sand.”

"How did you know that his special ability was related to sand?" Ye Yu asked again.

"After obtaining the data, those mercenary groups all ran towards the Tagan Desert. When our people chased after them, they were always hindered by the various strange environments in the desert. Only level four or above ability users have this ability. With our current strength, it is difficult to solve the problem."

"Our country doesn't have any Level 4 ability users?" Ye Yu was somewhat surprised.

Cui Chengkai sighed: "Currently, there is only one Level 4 ability user, but her ability is water, which is suppressed in the desert. We suspect that several countries should be involved in this operation, otherwise one country could not possibly have so many ability users."

Ye Yu finally understood why Yang Ying had a strange aura about him. She asked, "Are you also a superhuman?"

Yang Ying's pupils contracted. Few people knew he was a superhuman, let alone Ye Yu, who seemed to know nothing about superhumans. How did she figure it out?

Ye Yu chuckled and said, "I can sense an unusual energy fluctuation within you. It should be related to lightning, right?"

Seeing the two people's somewhat shocked expressions, Ye Yu knew that her guess was correct.

At this moment, Cui Chengkai and Yang Ying had witnessed Ye Yu's prowess and were even more convinced of her abilities.

Yang Ying nodded in agreement: "You are indeed very powerful. I am a level three lightning attribute ability user."

Ye Yu actually wanted to spar with him, but the occasion wasn't right, so she decided to hold off on the idea for now.

She thought for a moment, and then it became clear: "You want me to help you deal with these superhumans?"

Yang Ying said, "Yes, we have great faith in your skills and mysterious methods, so we hope you can join our operation. Besides, superhumans are not invincible. As long as you are stronger than them, dealing with them will not be a problem at all."

Cui Chengkai also said, "For this operation, we will send elite troops and top talents. With your participation, the chances of success will be even greater."

Ye Yu also wanted to meet these legendary superhumans and see how they differed from cultivators.

She nodded in agreement: "As I just said, when the country is in trouble, I will definitely help. I will help with this matter."

Cui Chengkai nodded in satisfaction: "With young people like you, how can the country not become prosperous and strong?"

Yang Ying's expression softened considerably. Unlike some of the young men under him who were arrogant and complacent, Ye Yu was very decisive in her words and actions.

He said, "Because this matter is very urgent, we need to leave as soon as we are ready. If you need to go home and bring anything back, you can have Wang Zeting drive you home."

Ye Yu didn't expect to have to leave so soon, and she didn't know how long this trip would take.

She said to Cui Chengkai, "I also have two things I'd like to ask you for help with?"

"Oh, what is it? Tell me about it?"

Ye Yu touched her nose somewhat awkwardly and said to the two of them, "I had previously asked the school for two weeks' leave and only went to register this morning. If I ask for leave again, my counselor will be unhappy. So I would like to ask you to explain the situation to the school and extend my leave for a while."

Ye Yu's counselor has a very eccentric personality. She had previously asked two professors to help her get leave. If it weren't for fulfilling Zhao Jing's wish, she wouldn't care whether she studied at this university or not.

If I ask for leave myself, she'll definitely refuse. It's better to let Cui Chengkai handle it; I doubt she'll refuse.

Cui Shengkai and Yang Ying thought that Ye Yu's request for help was probably a tricky matter, but they didn't expect it to be a request for leave!

On second thought, she was still a college student, so of course she would need to ask for leave to go out.

Yang Ying watched as Ye Yu, who had been a composed and expert-like figure just a moment ago, became troubled about asking for leave the next. This contrast made him both amused and exasperated.

Cui Chengkai nodded with satisfaction, adding another label to Ye Yu: someone who respects teachers.

He then asked, "Is there one more thing?"

Ye Yu ignored Cui Chengkai's gratified look, "When we were eliminating the Tiger Tail Sect, there were still some who escaped. I'm afraid that while I'm away, they might cause trouble for my family, so I would like to ask you to secretly send someone to protect my family."

Cui Chengkai nodded in agreement, "Protecting your family is what I should do. Go and do your job with peace of mind. Don't worry about things at home."
