Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 99 Cui Jiuyou's Invitation

We spent some more time there with Zhang Shouzhou.

The rate at which these people are being eliminated is slowing down.

Wang Hu couldn't help but yawn and stand up from the bluestone.

After being exposed to the wind all morning, a significant amount of spiritual energy in my Qi Sea was depleted.

He was genuinely exhausted this time.

That's good, his task is now complete, and Zhang Shouzhou can finish the rest.

All he wants now is to find a sunny spot and get a good night's sleep.

He greeted Zhang Shouzhou and then leisurely returned to Qiyuan University.

The newly built university is beautifully landscaped, with shady trees everywhere. Now, as the vice president, he also has his own small courtyard here.

However, he hasn't chosen the extraordinary plant that was promised to him yet. Once the enrollment is over and Qiyuan University is on track, he can then carefully select one that will be useful to him.

I was thinking about these things.

Wang Hu suddenly stopped in his tracks, realizing that someone seemed to be watching him.

He looked up and gazed in the direction the person was.

An old man in an old military uniform came into view.

The old man stood under a pine tree, his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked over.

Wang Hu looked puzzled, wondering where this old man came from, as he didn't seem to have seen him before!

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be an extraordinary being?

Just then, he noticed the old man raise his right hand and beckon to him.

"Is this a way to let myself go back?"

Wang Hu stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Who is this old man?

There were no bars or stars on the shoulders, and the clothes were washed until they were almost white.

However, his temperament is about 80% similar to Qin Tieshan's.

Moreover, at that time, Qiyuan University was not a place that just anyone could get into.

His presence at Qiyuan University suggests he is not a simple individual.

But what does it have to do with me?

He is a special consultant of Huacheng Extraordinary Research Institute and the vice president of Qiyuan University.

It's not like a dog in a zoo that obeys commands.

Do I have to go over just by waving?

Wang Hu pursed his lips, turned his head away, and strode towards the bamboo forest.

They didn't even give me a second glance.

Cui Jiuyuan's hand, which was raised in mid-air, stopped.

He lowered his arm, and instead of getting angry, he grinned and laughed.

"Haha, that's unique."

"However, I like people with personality."

Cui Jiuyuan raised his right hand and rubbed his thumb and middle finger together.

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap of fingers exploded in the air.

Wang Hu had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

The sense of danger that had awakened at age zero was pounding wildly in his mind.

There is no sound.

There is no smell.

However, a very slight refraction was observed in the air three meters to the left.

A few fallen leaves on the ground were slightly dented by some invisible force.

Something is approaching.

Extremely fast.

Wang Hu did not turn around.

He didn't even adjust his posture.

It simply raised its right front paw.

The tiger's might erupted instantly, and golden energy swirled around its claws.

Use your waist to generate power, which will drive your right claw.

He slapped the empty space on the left.

"call!"

A heavy, whistling sound rang out.

This claw strike was extremely sudden, tearing the air apart instantly and creating a visible white shockwave.

"when!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out.

The previously empty space suddenly revealed the outline of a person.

A man in his twenties was wearing a black ancient martial arts training outfit.

He held a long sword in both hands, the blade held horizontally in front of his chest.

Wang Hu's claws slammed onto the spine of the sword, producing a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

The man's face instantly turned purplish-red.

The immense force traveled along the sword and into his arms.

The asphalt road beneath his feet crumbled, creating two shallow craters.

The man was thrown backward uncontrollably.

He rolled twice in the air to dissipate some of the force.

Finally, it crashed heavily into a large tree three or four meters away.

The tree trunk shook violently, and leaves fell down with a rustling sound.

Holy crap!

A rough cry of surprise came from behind Cui Jiuyuan.

The speaker was a small giant who had just arrived and was over two meters tall.

He wore a heavy, specially made metal armor, which made a dull metallic scraping sound as he moved.

The little giant stared wide-eyed at Wang Hu's claw, which hadn't yet retracted.

"How did Wang Ye get discovered?"

"You got slapped away while in stealth mode?"

The little giant swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Wang Ye's stealth ability, combined with his ancient martial arts swordsmanship, makes him one of the top assassins in the Nine Cauldrons Division.

Even he usually doesn't dare to let Wang Ye get close.

Did the tiger not even glance at you before blindly shooting?

Then he just slapped it away?

"This tiger's strength is definitely no less than that of Lord Long."

The little giant muttered to himself, his muscles taut beneath his armor.

Behind him, his companions, who had also just arrived, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

They had seen the surveillance footage before and knew the tiger was strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong.

"Is he really that monstrous?"

This is what everyone is thinking right now.

Meanwhile.

under the tree.

Wang Ye knelt on one knee, using his sword to support himself on the ground.

His right hand, which was gripping the sword, was trembling uncontrollably. A gash appeared at the base of his thumb, and blood flowed down the hilt of the sword.

His mind went blank.

His proud stealth and invisibility were completely useless in the eyes of the other party.

That overwhelming force shattered his defensive sword stance.

If that claw had struck the head instead of the sword.

He is now a headless corpse.

Upon hearing the little giant's exclamation, Wang Ye's face instantly turned red.

He stood up, his chest heaving, but he still tried to save face.

"Cough cough."

Wang Ye coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"I was careless just now!"

"I'll try again; I don't believe he can still find me."

He spat out those words through gritted teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, his black training clothes moved on their own without any wind.

The edges of the person's body began to blur.

Less than a second.

Wang Ye, along with his sword, vanished into thin air once again.

Only a single drop of blood remained on the ground, still spreading.

Wang Hu stood still.

He squinted slightly, feeling somewhat bewildered.

I don't know these people at all, why do they want to fight me right away?

"Big cat!"

"I am Cui Jiuyou, the director of the Nine Cauldrons Division. I was once a comrade-in-arms with Lao Qin."

"We will soon be going abroad on a dangerous mission and will need a strong teammate to support us."

"If you can defeat this squad behind me within three minutes, you can join us."

At this point, Cui Jiuyou's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he continued, "We're going there this time for a very precious spiritual root, which is also known as an extraordinary plant."

"If our intelligence is correct, this extraordinary plant should be very useful to you."

"But if you come with us, I can make the decision that this extraordinary plant is yours—".
