- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 61-70
Seeing Chen Ye come to her rescue, Lin Mei was utterly astonished! She never expected this man to risk his life for her.
she couldn’t help but be moved by such an act. Despite growing up in the military, she had often fantasized about a powerful knight coming to her rescue. Now, here was her “knight,” standing protectively before her like a war god.
Lin Mei was mesmerized by Chen Ye’s heroic figure…
If Chen Ye knew what Lin Mei was thinking, he might find it amusing. Saving her was genuine, but he wasn’t really risking his life. Since upgrading his Armament Haki, he had been eager to engage in close combat. No matter how formidable the Taotie were, they were no match for his enhanced abilities.
Staying on the wall and using telekinesis to control the flying blades was too slow for Chen Ye, and once his mental strength was exhausted, it could become problematic. Seeing Lin Mei in danger gave him the perfect excuse to jump down and fight directly, while also saving her.
“General Lin, are you alright?” Chen Ye asked seriously, noticing the increasing number of Taotie around them. Lin Mei’s presence was limiting his movements.
“Mr. Chen, why did you risk your life for me?” Lin Mei’s voice trembled slightly.
Chen Ye, not catching her tone, replied, “No time for that. Let me get you up there first!”
“What about you?” Lin Mei asked instinctively.
“I’ll manage. Once you’re up, find a place to rest and don’t come back down!”
With that, Chen Ye swung his sword, killing two approaching Taotie. Then he turned, wrapped his arm around Lin Mei’s slim waist, and with his other hand, supported her by her hip.
“Up you go!”
Without pausing to appreciate the sensation, Chen Ye threw Lin Mei onto the wall. With his current strength, tossing a woman of around a hundred pounds was effortless.
With Lin Mei out of the way, Chen Ye could finally fight without restraint…
– On the Wall –
Back on the wall, Lin Mei was helped up by her subordinates.
“General, are you alright?”
Her subordinates cried with joy, never expecting her to return alive.
“I’m fine!” Lin Mei replied casually, immediately looking down at Chen Ye.
Seeing him surrounded by Taotie, Lin Mei’s face was filled with worry.
“Mr. Chen, be careful! Come back up!” she called out.
“No worries. These beasts can’t harm me!” came Chen Ye’s calm response from below.
Lin Mei watched his powerful figure in awe, recalling how he had touched places he shouldn’t have while saving her. Instead of anger, she felt an overwhelming shyness, and her cheeks turned red.
“What’s happening to me?” she wondered, startled by her own emotions.
Just then, new orders came from the command tower. Lin Mei pulled herself together, took one last look at Chen Ye, and led her subordinates to fight off the Taotie attacking the wall.
– On the Battlefield –
If anyone observed Chen Ye closely, they would see that his hands and feet were completely blackened, the sign of his activated Armament Haki.
With no need to protect Lin Mei, Chen Ye unleashed his full power. The black sword, Shusui, danced in his hands like a deadly flower.
“Pff! Pff!”
Taotie after Taotie fell to Chen Ye’s sword. Some managed to bite him, but as long as they didn’t bite his body, it wasn’t a problem. Chen Ye didn’t even avoid attacks to his limbs, confident in his strength to counter any attempt to drag him away.
In mere moments, a mountain of Taotie corpses surrounded him.
Everyone watching from the wall was stunned, especially General Chen of the Eagle Army. Seeing Chen Ye’s god-like prowess, he no longer harbored any resentment.
“You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!”
“You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!”
“You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!”
———————–
Chapter 62
“You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!”
“Notice: You have repeatedly killed 200 Taotie (Soldier Beasts), reaching the reward limit. Continuing to kill Taotie (Soldier Beasts) will no longer grant rewards. Please choose other targets!”
In the midst of his intense killing spree, Chen Ye’s face suddenly changed upon hearing the system notification.
He swung his sword, cutting down another Taotie. Indeed, there was no reward notification.
“What? No rewards for killing the same type of minion after 200 kills?”
Chen Ye had hoped to accumulate at least 200,000 points today, but now he had only reached 20,000, and the rewards had stopped.
Without hesitation, Chen Ye jumped back, using the ground’s impact to propel himself onto the city wall. Since killing more Taotie soldiers would no longer yield points, there was no need to keep risking his life.
Back on the wall, Chen Ye noticed the soldiers looking at him with immense admiration.
To dare fight alone below the wall against the ferocious Taotie, such bravery was unparalleled. It was not an exaggeration to call Chen Ye a “war god.” If it weren’t for the ongoing battle, many soldiers would be shouting his name.
Chen Ye also saw that many Taotie had breached the wall, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers.
In the distance, General Lin Mei was leading her subordinates in combat against a Taotie. Without hesitation, Chen Ye rushed over.
Even though killing Taotie no longer granted points, he still wanted to help her.
Within a few leaps, Chen Ye was near Lin Mei. Just then, the Taotie, enraged by Lin Mei, lunged at her.
As Lin Mei tried to dodge, she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist.
“Let me handle this!”
The deep, steady voice in her ear made Lin Mei stop all movement, a look of surprise and joy on her face.
Although the Taotie was dangerously close, she felt completely safe.
After all, the man was there to protect her.
With a swift move, Chen Ye’s blade slashed through the Taotie, cutting it into pieces. He then kicked the Taotie’s carcass away, ensuring it didn’t touch Lin Mei.
“I told you to rest once you got up here. You’re exhausted; why are you still pushing yourself?” Chen Ye scolded, frowning.
Facing Chen Ye’s reprimand, the mighty General Lin Mei looked down like a guilty child, softly explaining, “The Taotie breached the wall. Our soldiers are in danger…”
Her deputy watched in shock. She couldn’t believe that their tough, formidable leader, General Lin Mei, was acting like a little girl.
Was this really the same General Lin Mei who was as fierce as any man?
“Go to Commander Shao and rest. I’ll handle the Taotie up here,” Chen Ye ordered firmly.
Lin Mei, truly exhausted, nodded obediently. “Be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I have something to discuss with the commander later.”
With that, Chen Ye charged towards the rampaging Taotie.
Lin Mei stood there, staring dreamily at his heroic figure like a lovestruck girl.
“General, Mr. Chen is already far ahead…”
Her deputy’s soft reminder snapped Lin Mei out of her trance. Blushing, she turned away. “Let’s go rest by the commander.”
——————-
Several Taotie had managed to climb the wall, but encountering Chen Ye was their misfortune.
When Chen Ye decapitated the last Taotie on the wall, the soldiers erupted in cheers.
“Mr. Chen, mighty warrior!”
“Mr. Chen, mighty warrior!”
“Mr. Chen, mighty warrior!”
All the soldiers loudly chanted Chen Ye’s name.
In the command tower, Commander Shao and Strategist Wang observed the scene.
“This man’s martial prowess is unmatched. He deserves the title of war god,” Commander Shao remarked.
Strategist Wang nodded in agreement, adding, “His black sword is incredibly sharp, even able to slay Taotie in one blow.”
Commander Shao understood Wang’s implication but didn’t comment, instead saying, “Today’s battle was won thanks to Mr. Chen. Without him, the outcome would have been uncertain.”
As the commander, Shao wouldn’t personally approach Chen Ye to study his sword.
Hearing the commander’s praise, Lin Mei smiled as if she herself were being complimented.
“General Lin, I saw everything. Mr. Chen risked his life to save you. You owe him a great debt. After this battle, make sure to thank him properly,” Commander Shao instructed.
Lin Mei readily agreed, saluting, “Yes, Commander.”
Strategist Wang then suggested with a smile, “Commander, someone like Mr. Chen is a rare talent. If we could enlist him, it would be a great asset in our fight against the Taotie.”
Commander Shao seemed intrigued by the idea. Although he didn’t know Chen Ye’s background, Chen Ye’s combat abilities were undeniable, proving he was the top-tier fighter they needed.
“I’m just afraid he won’t join the Shadowless Imperial Guard.”
Strategist Wang smiled, “Perhaps General Lin should try inviting him.”
Lin Mei blushed deeply. Even a fool could understand the implication behind Wang’s words.
——————-
CHapter 63
“Oh?”
Hearing Strategist Wang’s suggestion, Commander Shao took a serious look at General Lin and noticed her unusual behavior. She seemed shy and uncharacteristically hesitant, a stark contrast to her usual spirited demeanor.
Commander Shao was slightly surprised. Although he was also a straightforward man, he had lived long enough and was wise enough to recognize that General Lin had developed feelings for Chen Ye.
General Lin was essentially like a daughter to Commander Shao, as he had personally trained her. To him, she was not just a subordinate but his heir and legacy. It suddenly dawned on him that his “daughter” had grown up and blossomed into a beautiful woman.
If she had been the daughter of a wealthy family in Bianliang City, she would have already settled down and started a family by this age. In Commander Shao’s original plan, General Lin was to be his successor.
(In the original story, Commander Shao was wounded by the Taotie, and before he died, he appointed General Lin as the next commander.)
Now, he wondered if the path he had set for her was the right one.
He gave General Lin a thoughtful look and asked, “General Lin, do you think we should keep Mr. Chen here?”
Of course, she wanted Chen Ye to stay.
“Commander, I believe Mr. Chen is a rare talent. If the Shadowless Imperial Guard can enlist him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!”
Commander Shao smiled meaningfully, understanding her intentions. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: daughters truly grow up and can’t be kept close forever.
“Very well, after this battle, the task of inviting Mr. Chen to join us will be yours.”
“Yes, Commander!” Lin Mei responded with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She worried, what if Mr. Chen refused?
At that moment, Strategist Wang announced, “Commander, Mr. Chen is here.”
Chen Ye was quickly approaching the command tower. Knowing the storyline, he understood that the Taotie Beast King’s attack was a diversion for another plan. While appearing to assault the Great Wall defenders, the Beast King had dispatched numerous Taotie soldiers to dig under the wall, aiming to create a breach.
The Taotie Beast King’s intelligence rivaled that of humans, and according to the plot, it wouldn’t be long before the Beast King would retreat to regroup for another attack. Chen Ye decided to finish the Beast King today. If killing Taotie soldiers continuously yielded points, he would gladly keep fighting, but since there was a limit, he saw no reason to delay.
Now, with the Taotie army heavily wounded, it was the perfect opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
“Mr. Chen!”
As Chen Ye reached the command tower, Strategist Wang greeted him first.
Commander Shao smiled and said, “Mr. Chen, you have worked hard today. With the Taotie’s imminent defeat, you deserve the highest honors!”
General Lin Mei said nothing, but her eyes were full of concern as she looked at Chen Ye, only relaxing when she confirmed he was uninjured.
“The soldiers have made great sacrifices. I dare not take all the credit,” Chen Ye responded modestly. He then quickly added, “Commander, do you have any lodestones?”
Commander Shao was puzzled, “Mr. Chen, what do you need lodestones for?”
Chen Ye raised his sword and said, “This sword contains lodestones. During the battle, I noticed they might have a restraining effect on the Taotie. I want to verify this theory.”
This was, of course, a lie. Knowing the plot, Chen Ye was aware that lodestones interfered with the Taotie. In the original story, the Beast King was ultimately killed with the help of lodestones.
However, Chen Ye’s skill in deception was so good that his lie seemed entirely plausible.
Commander Shao’s eyes lit up, “Strategist, do we have any lodestones in the camp?”
Strategist Wang replied, “There should be some in the forge!”
The forge, where weapons were made, had various minerals and materials.
“Strategist, please go and fetch the lodestones,” Commander Shao ordered.
“Yes, Commander!” Strategist Wang bowed and quickly left.
Commander Shao looked at Chen Ye with intense interest and asked, “Mr. Chen, if the lodestones prove effective, what then?”
“Of course, we should use them to eliminate the Beast King once and for all!” Chen Ye declared.
“And how do you propose we do that?”
“You provide cover for me, and I will go kill the Beast King!”
In Chen Ye’s mind, the Beast King represented a huge bounty of points, a prize he couldn’t pass up.
Before Commander Shao could respond, General Lin Mei exclaimed, “No… Mr. Chen, the Beast King is far more dangerous than ordinary Taotie, and it is protected by powerful guards. Killing it is nearly impossible. Please reconsider.”
Commander Shao sighed inwardly, confirming his suspicions. General Lin had indeed developed feelings for Chen Ye.
Chen Ye smiled at General Lin, “Don’t worry, General Lin. I won’t do anything reckless!”
Seeing that she still wanted to persuade him, Chen Ye added seriously, “As long as the Taotie exist, the world will never be at peace. If killing the Beast King means sacrificing my life, so be it.”
Chen Ye’s righteous declaration moved everyone around him, who now looked at him with admiration. They viewed him as a noble hero willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
Lin Mei finally fell silent, her gaze fixed deeply on Chen Ye. Such courage and resolve were truly admirable.
Even Commander Shao looked at Chen Ye with newfound respect.
Soon, Strategist Wang returned with two lodestones.
Chen Ye immediately strapped the lodestones to himself and said to Commander Shao, “Commander, if the lodestones work, I will head straight for the Beast King. Please cover me.”
Commander Shao patted Chen Ye’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Mr. Chen, be very careful. If it becomes too dangerous, return immediately! We await your victorious return.”
Having addressed him as “Mr. Chen” earlier, Commander Shao now simply called him “Mr.,” showing his deep respect.
———————-
Chapter 64
This is a term of respect used for great scholars or esteemed individuals.
Clearly, in Commander Shao’s eyes at this moment, Chen Ye was worthy of respect.
For the sake of saving countless lives and killing the Beast King, Chen Ye was even willing to risk his own life. Such actions truly earned him the title of a “great hero.”
If Commander Shao knew that Chen Ye was actually doing this to gain points, he would have been shocked.
…
Chen Ye didn’t waste any time. He turned and left the tower, heading straight for the base of the wall.
Everyone watched Chen Ye’s unwavering back, filled with admiration.
They suddenly felt that this back was so grand…
Reaching the wall, Chen Ye stepped out and jumped into the midst of countless Taotie.
Instantly, the once ferocious Taotie became sluggish, appearing exhausted and wanting to rest.
This was because the Taotie soldiers were mentally linked to the Beast King, who controlled their actions. The magnetic force disrupted this link. Once the link was broken, they fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Ye, having watched the original storyline, knew this well. The reason he hadn’t mentioned it earlier was that he hadn’t found a suitable excuse.
“Slash!”
Chen Ye’s blade cut through the Taotie as if they were nothing, instantly killing three. The Taotie, hindered by the magnetic interference, were much easier for Chen Ye to kill.
However, since killing these Taotie soldiers no longer granted points, Chen Ye rushed towards the Beast King!
…
In the command tower, Commander Shao and others were observing Chen Ye.
Seeing Chen Ye advancing rapidly towards the Beast King, they were overjoyed.
Only General Lin Mei looked slightly worried…
“The magnet is working!”
Commander Shao stood up excitedly and immediately ordered, “All soldiers, listen up! Focus on killing the Taotie and cover Mr. Chen!”
“Understood!!”
Seeing Chen Ye go after the Beast King, the soldiers were invigorated. Admiring his bravery, they fought even harder to kill the Taotie, drawing their attention away from Chen Ye.
Countless crossbows and catapults opened fire, clearing a path for Chen Ye!
…
With the support of the entire Shadowless Imperial Guard, Chen Ye quickly approached the Beast King.
Everyone on the wall was focused on Chen Ye, knowing that this battle was crucial.
Humanity’s hope rested on that brave figure.
Not only humans, but many Taotie, seeing Chen Ye nearing their king, howled and charged at him.
For a moment, all eyes were on Chen Ye!
“Get out of my way!”
Chen Ye cut down the Taotie blocking his path with a single strike.
Finally, he saw the Beast King, heavily guarded by its elite warriors!
The enormous Beast King saw Chen Ye too. Linked with the Taotie soldiers, it knew exactly what Chen Ye had done.
This human had killed many of its children.
“Roar!!”
The Beast King roared at Chen Ye, its fury evident.
Hearing the Beast King’s roar, all the Taotie followed suit, roaring at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye was surrounded by thousands of Taotie.
Everyone on the wall was on edge for Chen Ye.
General Lin Mei was especially worried.
But Chen Ye remained fearless.
He had taken the Heart of the Brave, and such a scene did not scare him.
Moreover, with the magnetic interference, these Taotie were significantly weakened, almost like defenseless chickens and dogs to him.
“Die!”
Chen Ye shouted as he charged at the Beast King.
The Taotie soldiers, impaired by the magnetic force, couldn’t stop him.
Soon, Chen Ye reached the Beast King’s elite guards.
The Beast King’s guards were massive, as large as elephants, and looked intimidating.
But Chen Ye knew they were not combat types. They acted more like shields, protecting the Beast King.
Moreover, the magnetic force affected them greatly too. Despite their size, they were no match for Chen Ye.
“Roar!”
One of the Beast King’s guards charged at Chen Ye, trying to crush him.
Chen Ye smirked, leaping into the air to dodge, landing effortlessly on the guard’s back.
“Slash!”
Chen Ye plunged his black blade, Shusui, deep into the guard’s brain.
“Howl!!”
The guard let out a dying scream and collapsed.
“You have killed a Taotie (Elite Guard), gaining 1000 points!”
Hearing this, Chen Ye was overjoyed.
An elite guard was worth 1000 points! How much would the Beast King be worth?
With renewed vigor, Chen Ye pressed forward, cutting down two more elite guards in his path.
Despite their size, the elite guards were like giant, defenseless pigs under the magnetic interference.
Seeing Chen Ye, like a killing god, approaching step by step, the Beast King finally panicked.
It quickly decided to order a retreat for all Taotie.
Yes, the Beast King, sensing danger, wanted to flee!
———————
Chapter 65
“Commander, the Beast King is behaving strangely; it seems to be trying to escape!!” Strategist Wang shouted from the city wall.
“Indeed!” Commander Shao’s spirit was lifted as he gave a loud order, “Relay the command: attack the Beast King from behind. Don’t let it escape!”
“Yes! Attack the Beast King from behind!!” The messenger shouted vigorously, his voice filled with excitement.
Everyone could see the hope of victory!!
Boom! Boom!
The massive catapults went into high gear, launching countless flaming boulders from the sky, blocking the Beast King’s retreat.
Seeing this, Chen Ye grinned and walked confidently toward the Taotie Beast King.
“Roar!”
With no way out, the Beast King had no choice but to fight Chen Ye!
And then… it was over for the Beast King!
The black sword, Shusui, in Chen Ye’s hand was insanely sharp. Neither the elite guards nor the Beast King could withstand a single strike from Chen Ye. Moreover, Chen Ye had Armament Haki and telekinesis—one provided formidable defense, and the other offered exceptional support, making Chen Ye even more unstoppable.
Most importantly, Chen Ye knew the Taotie’s weakness: magnets!
Magnets were to the Taotie what kryptonite was to Superman. Under the influence of the magnets, the Beast King could only use half of its strength. Ultimately, it fell to Chen Ye’s blade…
…
[Congratulations! You have killed the Taotie Beast King, gaining 35,000 points!]
[Attention: You have eliminated the threat to this world and have been favored by the world’s will. You may now freely enter and leave this world!]
With the Beast King’s death, the thousands of Taotie soldiers seemed like powered-down robots, all losing their lives.
The soldiers fighting the Taotie were astonished to see all the Taotie suddenly collapse, unmoving.
“What happened to the Taotie?”
“We won! We won!!”
“It’s Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen killed the Beast King, causing all the Taotie to collapse!”
“Mr. Chen is mighty!”
“Mr. Chen is mighty!”
“Mr. Chen is mighty!”
Countless soldiers cheered passionately, their shouts echoing into the sky.
Standing amidst the fallen Taotie, Chen Ye was undoubtedly the hero in everyone’s eyes!
In the command tower, the usually stoic Commander Shao couldn’t help but laugh heartily upon seeing the Taotie fall.
“The Taotie are dead, finally dead! Hahaha…”
Strategist Wang smiled and said, “Congratulations, Commander, on accomplishing a feat never achieved before!”
Commander Shao shook his head, refusing to take credit, “This is all thanks to Mr. Chen!”
Beside them, General Lin Mei looked at the figure standing proudly in the battlefield, tears of joy streaming down her face…
…
Everyone was celebrating, and Chen Ye was no exception.
After killing the Beast King, he had gained 35,000 points! Combined with the points from the elite guards, his total haul from this personal instance was around 60,000 points!
Awesome!
Chen Ye laughed heartily.
What surprised him was the final system notification, which stated that he was now favored by this world’s will, allowing him to freely enter and leave this world…
…
Next came the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
The fallen soldiers needed to be buried. The Taotie corpses, especially the Beast King’s body, needed to be transported to Bianliang to present to the Emperor. This was to both claim credit and reassure the people that the Taotie threat was no more.
That night, Commander Shao personally ordered a celebration feast in Chen Ye’s honor!
Chen Ye became the star of the banquet, with countless people taking turns to toast him.
As it turned out…
Chen Ye discovered he couldn’t get drunk, no matter how much he drank. Thanks to the super soldier serum, his body’s cellular activity was enhanced, allowing him to break down alcohol extremely quickly. Additionally, the ancient wine was much weaker than modern alcohol, barely stronger than beer.
So, no matter how much he drank, he remained sober, except for frequent trips to the toilet…
In the toilet, Chen Ye found himself there again.
Suddenly, Strategist Wang came up to him.
“Hello, Strategist Wang. Here to relieve yourself too?”
“Yes!”
“Let’s do it together.”
“Sure!”
The two men unzipped and relieved themselves together.
Chen Ye wasn’t self-conscious at all. The super soldier serum had not only enhanced his muscles and physique but also other areas…
After a moment, Strategist Wang, feeling somewhat inadequate, moved aside.
As Chen Ye finished and was about to leave, Strategist Wang stopped him.
“Mr. Chen, wait a moment.”
Chen Ye paused and looked at Strategist Wang curiously.
“Mr. Chen, what do you think of General Lin?” Strategist Wang suddenly asked.
“Uh…” Chen Ye replied instinctively, “She’s great! Beautiful, good-natured, a wonderful girl!”
Strategist Wang only half-understood the slang, but he grasped that Chen Ye was complimenting General Lin.
“Would Mr. Chen be interested in becoming a son-in-law of the Shadowless Imperial Guard? If you’re interested, I’d be willing to act as a matchmaker!”
———————-
Chapter 66
“Son-in-law?”
Chen Ye, who was already sober, became even more alert in an instant.
“Strategist, what do you mean by that? Who has their eyes on me?”
Strategist Wang was surprised. “What? Mr. Chen, you don’t know that General Lin is interested in you?”
“Uh…”
Chen Ye thought back and realized that Lin Mei had indeed shown a lot of concern for him. Just for saving her once, she had developed feelings?
Well, to be fair, being admired by a beauty like Lin Mei certainly inflated Chen Ye’s ego.
“Mr. Chen, General Lin was raised by Commander Shao. She grew up in the military, so she may not be as gentle as the ladies from noble families, but her character is impeccable…” Strategist Wang went on praising General Lin Mei.
He then said, “If you are also interested, even Commander Shao would be happy to see you together.”
“Well…” Chen Ye said, “Strategist, I think I should ask General Lin about her feelings.”
Strategist Wang smiled and nodded. “That’s a good idea!”
…
So, after the banquet, while the generals were preparing to return to their quarters, Chen Ye got ahead and intercepted Lin Mei on her way back.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!!”
The girl was very alert, even noticing Chen Ye lurking in the dark.
“General Lin, it’s me!” Chen Ye stepped out.
Seeing it was Chen Ye, Lin Mei stuttered, “Ah? Mr. Chen… Wh-why are you here?”
“The long night is sleepless,” Chen Ye said, gazing deeply at her. “General Lin, would you accompany me for a walk?”
Upon hearing this invitation, Lin Mei’s heart pounded, and she didn’t know where to put her hands.
“Su-sure!”
She knew it wasn’t proper for a man and woman to be alone together at this hour, but the words of refusal stuck in her throat and wouldn’t come out.
“Please, General Lin,” Chen Ye gestured.
They walked side by side along the Great Wall.
Under the night sky, the Great Wall had a unique charm. Illuminated by the torches, Chen Ye found General Lin Mei to be exceptionally beautiful. For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel moved…
“General Lin…”
General Lin Mei immediately looked up at Chen Ye upon hearing his call, but after meeting his bright eyes, she couldn’t help but look down again. Perhaps due to nervousness, she seemed a bit cute and dazed.
Chen Ye smiled and decided not to deceive this innocent girl. He began, “General Lin, I wasn’t completely honest about my background. I am not from this world!”
Hearing this, General Lin Mei raised her head in shock, looking at Chen Ye.
“I come from another world,” Chen Ye continued. “I was sent here by the will of the heavens to eliminate the Taotie. You may have noticed my unique abilities—my sword can be hidden at will, my fists can become invincible, and I can control flying blades.”
Chen Ye demonstrated his special abilities—Armament Haki and telekinesis—before General Lin Mei.
Seeing Chen Ye’s extraordinary abilities, Lin Mei felt a complex mix of emotions—shock, confusion, and mostly sadness. She realized that if Mr. Chen wasn’t from this world, he would eventually leave.
Yes, she believed what Chen Ye said.
“I didn’t mean to deceive you initially,” Chen Ye explained. “I was just afraid that if I told the truth, you might think I was a monster.”
General Lin Mei nodded and finally spoke, “Mr. Chen, you don’t need to explain. I understand. If it were me, I might have done the same.”
Indeed, women are always very forgiving towards those they love.
“Mr. Chen, are you here to say goodbye? Are you leaving?”
“Uh?” Chen Ye was momentarily stunned, then shook his head. “No… Well, I do need to report back, but I can come back to visit this world whenever I want.”
Hearing this, Lin Mei’s eyes lit up.
“Mr. Chen, could you tell me more about your world?”
“Of course.” Chen Ye smiled. “In my world, people are wealthy and worry-free, though they face more problems and challenges. There are tall buildings everywhere, and people can fly in planes through the sky.”
Listening to Chen Ye’s description, Lin Mei’s eyes sparkled with curiosity about his world.
As Chen Ye spoke, he suddenly had an idea and said, “If there’s a chance, I could take you to visit my world someday!”
This wasn’t an empty promise. According to what Chen Ye knew, anyone who cleared the 99th floor of the Reincarnation Tower would become a deity and gain access to all the tower’s privileges, which likely included bringing someone to the real world…
Maybe even before reaching the 99th floor, the first person to clear the 33rd floor might have this privilege.
Of course, this was just a guess for now.
“Really?” General Lin Mei said happily.
As they walked and talked, their conversation flowed easily. While neither confessed directly, feelings blossomed between them.
Late into the night, Chen Ye escorted General Lin Mei to her quarters.
“The female barracks are just ahead, General Lin. I’ll leave you here,” Chen Ye said with a smile.
Lin Mei nodded and suddenly asked, “Mr. Chen, when will you be leaving?”
“After I say goodbye to the commander tomorrow, I’ll have to return.”
“So soon…”
“Yes, my homeland is also in danger, facing a powerful enemy. I need to go back to defend it!”
This statement was half-true; the Reincarnation Tower world was indeed extremely dangerous!
Hearing this, Lin Mei grew worried. “Mr. Chen, please be careful.”
“Yes, General Lin, I’ll visit often.”
“Okay, that’s good!” Lin Mei said shyly.
“Goodnight then!”
“What does ‘goodnight’ mean?”
“Uh… It’s a saying from my homeland, meaning ‘I hope you have a good dream and sleep well tonight.'”
“I see… Goodnight, Mr. Chen!”
After bidding each other goodnight, they reluctantly parted.
…
The next day, Chen Ye repeated the story he had told Lin Mei to Commander Shao and the other generals.
Many were astonished and curious, asking if Chen Ye’s homeland was the celestial realm. His combat prowess seemed godlike!
General Wu even requested to accompany Chen Ye…
Chen Ye, half-laughing, had to explain that he couldn’t take anyone with him at the moment.
Realizing Chen Ye needed to return to report, Commander Shao and the others came to see him off.
On the city wall.
“Commander, no need to see me off. I might be back as soon as tomorrow!”
“Haha!” Commander Shao laughed heartily. “You’re welcome back anytime, Mr. Chen!”
Chen Ye nodded and looked at General Lin Mei, who had been watching him all along.
Their eyes met, and it felt as if sparks flew between them.
Seeing this, the single generals around them felt as if they had taken a critical hit…
“Everyone, farewell!”
With that, Chen Ye disappeared from their sight!
This scene left everyone in awe!!
“Truly a godly man!” Commander Shao sighed.
Many nodded in agreement…

CHapter 67
-Reincarnation Space-
Chen Ye appeared directly in Reincarnation Square. He glanced at the clock in the square; only an hour had passed in the real world. Yet, he had spent three days in the “Great Wall” instance… Truly remarkable!
Next, Chen Ye began to process the gains from his personal instance.
In this personal instance, Chen Ye earned a total of 60,200 Reincarnation Points. During his time in the “Great Wall” world, he upgraded his Armament Haki once, spending 8,000 Reincarnation Points. Now, his account balance showed 52,372 points.
He planned to upgrade his Armament Haki again to reach the “Master” level.
However, when he checked the points required for the upgrade, he couldn’t help but curse!
To upgrade Armament Haki from “Expert” to “Master” required 40,000 Reincarnation Points!
That was five times the previous cost!
Ridiculous!!
But… Armament Haki was extremely useful and provided immense defense…
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ye decided to upgrade.
Then, he used the remaining Reincarnation Points to exchange for potential points to boost his attributes.
He was preparing for the next instance!
The ghost Chu Renmei from “The Ghost of the Village” was quite powerful. She could kill with illusions and control objects for direct attacks.
Chen Ye upgraded his Armament Haki to defend against such abilities.
As soon as Chen Ye selected the proficiency upgrade, he felt a distinct change in his body.
Now, whenever he wanted, he could cover his entire body with Armament Haki…
Truly invincible, impenetrable to weapons!

Skills: English (Proficient), Driving (Beginner), Shooting (Expert), Disguise (Master), Basic Swordsmanship (Master).
Special Skills: Armament Haki (Master).
Combat Techniques: None.
Abilities: Telekinesis.
Reincarnation Points: 372.
Overall Rating: C.]
This was Chen Ye’s current status.
(Spirit cannot be increased temporarily; other attributes need to catch up!)
Getting his Strength to 100 points had drained all his Reincarnation Points.
To Chen Ye’s surprise, even with these attributes, his overall strength rating was still within the C-grade range.
It seemed that the higher the overall rating, the greater the power disparity.
For example, both Murong Chuixue and Yi Ye Zhiqiu were rated A, but Murong Chuixue could easily overpower Yi Ye Zhiqiu!
Overall ratings were only a reference…
…
Chen Ye didn’t linger in the Reincarnation Space. He returned to the real world.
It was already past 4 AM. Instead of sleeping, he turned on his computer and went online.
The internet was still buzzing about him.
Whether it was the conflict between Asura and Yi Ye Zhiqiu or the successful transaction with Murong Chuixue, it had all caused a stir online.
“Amazing! Asura went head-to-head with Yi Ye Zhiqiu!”
“I was there at the bar; the two were at each other’s throats, neither backing down!”
“When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt! But I have more faith in Asura. With his talent, he’ll definitely surpass Yi Ye Zhiqiu once he grows stronger!”
“Sigh, it’s a shame to see fellow countrymen at odds.”
“We shouldn’t meddle in their private matters. Let’s think about what impact Asura’s strategy will have!”
“What impact? Do you think the government will freely share the strategy with you? Dream on!”
“Exactly, the fact that Murong personally went to find Asura shows how much they value the strategy. They won’t reveal it easily!”
“It’s late, everyone, go wash up and sleep…”
Despite the late hour, many were still discussing.
By morning, Asura’s name would likely sweep across the internet again!
Chen Ye spent his time browsing the web, waiting for daylight.
…
A few hours later, the sky finally brightened. But even by 8 AM, Chen Ye’s father hadn’t come home.
Chen Ye frowned. He hadn’t seen his father all day yesterday, and now today was the same?
He left home and went to his father’s factory.
Upon arrival, he couldn’t find his father. The security guard informed him that his father had already finished his shift!
He hadn’t returned home because he was working a second job: plastering walls at a construction site.
From the security guard, Chen Ye learned everything.
Plastering involved coating interior walls with a smooth, white finish.
It was hard physical work, something most people couldn’t handle.
Chen Ye’s father was working so hard to save money for his son’s college tuition…
After thanking the security guard, Chen Ye left the factory.
Finally, at a construction site, he saw his father hard at work.
Staring deeply at his father, Chen Ye felt a mix of emotions.
This ordinary man was sacrificing his health for his son.
Fatherly love was as steadfast as a mountain!
“Dad!”
Chen Ye walked over and called out.
He thought it would feel awkward to say those words.
But it felt completely natural and effortless.
Chen’s father, plastering the walls, turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice.
“Xiao Ye? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at school?”
“If I didn’t come, the next time I’d see you might be in the hospital!” Chen Ye scolded, “You just finished a night shift and came here to work? Are you trying to kill yourself?”
His father chuckled, “It’s not as bad as you say.”
Chen Ye sighed, “Dad, come home with me. I have something to tell you.”
“Wait a bit, let me finish this…”
“No!!”
Chen Ye was stern, grabbing the spatula from his father’s hand, “If you want to work so badly, let me do it!”
“You brat, what are you doing? How can you do this kind of work?” his father said urgently.
“If you can do it, why can’t I?”
His father was speechless but deeply moved, understanding his son’s concern.
A co-worker nearby chimed in, “Old Chen, your son is worried about you. You’re lucky to have a caring son. Unlike my kid, who only asks for money! Don’t let him worry, go home.”
Chen’s father reluctantly agreed and left with Chen Ye.
Once home, Chen Ye immediately transferred one million yuan to his father’s phone!
He didn’t transfer more, fearing it would scare him.
Seeing the numbers in his bank message, Chen’s father was shocked, “Where did this money come from?”
“I transferred it!”
Before his father could ask further, Chen Ye said, “Don’t worry about the source. It’s clean. I got it from selling a special item in the Reincarnation Space!”
“From now on, stop doing this kind of work. I don’t want to be constantly taking you to the hospital… Don’t take my words lightly. If I catch you doing this again, I’ll drop out and work with you!!”
Chen Ye’s tone was firm.
His father laughed, “You brat…”
He wasn’t a fool. He understood that Chen Ye was genuinely concerned.
“Alright, I promise you!”
“And quit the night job too. Look at your age; you can’t handle night shifts.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you! But you must be careful in the Reincarnation Space. Don’t go to the Reincarnation Tower; I heard it’s very dangerous…”
“I know… Now get some sleep, I’m heading to school!”
…
Bidding his father farewell, Chen Ye went to school.
Today, the school seemed very lively.
There were many unfamiliar faces.
The students were more enthusiastic!
In the classroom, Chen Ye asked Jiang Tao behind him, “What’s going on? Why are there so many people at school?”
Jiang Tao excitedly replied, “They’re from various university admissions offices. I heard they’re expanding enrollment this year. Especially the schools for special abilities; many have lowered their standards. As long as you have an overall strength rating of E, you can get in directly!”
He then grinned and boasted, “Old Chen, I got a good rating from the ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ instance last time. Now my overall strength rating is E. Look!”
Jiang Tao rolled up his sleeve, revealing a crescent moon tattoo on his arm with an “E” character in the center!
—————————
Chapter 68
“I’ve revealed my hand. No more pretending. I am actually an ‘E’ rank powerhouse!” Jiang Tao declared smugly.
He spoke loudly on purpose, catching the attention of many nearby students. Several girls cast astonished glances at Jiang Tao. Achieving an ‘E’ rank strength evaluation in the safe zone was no easy feat.
For a moment, Jiang Tao’s ego was greatly satisfied.
“By the way, old Chen, have you reached E rank yet?” Jiang Tao asked.
Chen Ye shook his head cooperatively and said, “You’re impressive, I admit!”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Tao chuckled, then patted Chen Ye on the shoulder. “Don’t be discouraged, old Chen. Even if you can’t get into the special abilities academy, with your grades, you’ll definitely get into a vocational school… By the way, you seem different today. Taller, more muscular? Is it just my imagination?”
It wasn’t just Jiang Tao who noticed; other classmates had long been aware of Chen Ye’s changes today. Some girls curiously scrutinized him. Usually, Chen Ye appeared ordinary, but today, he seemed very attractive—taller and much more fit.
Chen Ye gently brushed Jiang Tao’s hand away, saying, “I’m just growing. Isn’t it normal to grow quickly?”
“But your changes are too drastic! Did you eat some growth formula?”
“Can’t be bothered to explain!” Chen Ye shifted the topic back. “Congratulations, though. Looks like we won’t be classmates anymore! Don’t forget your old friend when you make it big!”
“Old Chen, what are you saying? I’d never forget you!”
Jiang Tao pretended to be displeased.
At that moment, the school broadcast suddenly sounded:
“Attention everyone, all senior students, please gather at the playground!”
Hearing this, many students stood up and headed to the playground. Their expressions were markedly different: those who had reached ‘E’ rank were excited, while those who hadn’t were expressionless, tinged with jealousy.
“Let’s go, old Chen.”
Jiang Tao eagerly dragged Chen Ye to the playground, saying, “The recruitment must be starting!”
Chen Ye shook his head and followed Jiang Tao out of the classroom, merging with other classes on the large playground.
“Everyone, line up according to your class. Boys in one line, girls in another. Stay orderly!” the dean loudly maintained order on the playground.
The students obediently lined up as instructed.
To Chen Ye’s left was the girls’ line from the neighboring class.
“Look, old Chen, it’s Wen Xingyi!” Jiang Tao whispered excitedly behind Chen Ye.
Chen Ye instinctively turned to look and indeed saw a delicate and beautiful face. However, he felt nothing special. With his mature mindset, he was past the age of being impulsive.
Jiang Tao whispered from behind, “I heard Wen Xingyi’s overall strength has long reached ‘E’ rank. I wonder which school she’ll choose. Maybe I’ll end up being her classmate! Old Chen, if that happens, you should visit my school often to see your dream girl.”
Chen Ye rolled his eyes and whispered, “Shut your mouth!”
…
When all the students had gathered, the school principal and several unfamiliar faces stepped onto the podium, looking down at the students.
The principal began with some formalities (mostly nonsense) before getting to the point: “Today, I have good news. Various special abilities academies are expanding their recruitment. They all have special quotas. You must all strive to perform well. Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
Hundreds of students shouted, creating an impressive scene.
“Now, all students with an ‘E’ rank strength evaluation, please step forward.”
As soon as the principal finished, many students stepped out, including Wen Xingyi and Jiang Tao behind Chen Ye. However, Chen Ye remained motionless.
If he stepped forward, with his current overall strength, the special abilities academies would definitely compete to recruit him!
But!
Chen Ye had long decided to lay low…
At least until his strength reached A rank, he intended to keep a low profile.
Out of several hundred students, less than one-tenth stepped forward.
By rough estimate, there were only about twenty or so.
The principal nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “The rest of you may return to your classrooms. Study hard and prepare for the college entrance exams!”
Chen Ye and the others returned to their classrooms.
With no teacher present, the classroom buzzed with various envious and jealous remarks:
“Damn, I didn’t expect Wang Chao to secretly achieve an ‘E’ rank without saying a word.”
“Yeah, we definitely need to make him treat us.”
“Even Li Bin made it to ‘E.’ With his grades, he’d have trouble getting into a vocational school. Really didn’t expect that…”
Listening to his classmates, Chen Ye detected a strong scent of jealousy.
He tuned out the chatter and started contemplating.
His original plan was to skip college altogether, even if he got into a good school. But thinking about his father’s hopeful eyes, Chen Ye felt conflicted.
His father desperately wanted him to succeed. If he didn’t go to college, his father would be devastated.
Sighing, Chen Ye silently took out his books and began studying…
…
The morning passed quickly.
At noon, the students who had been specially recruited by the special abilities academies were surrounded by friends, demanding a treat for their silent achievement.
Chen Ye avoided the hustle, but Jiang Tao sought him out.
“Old Chen, let’s go to Deli Restaurant!”
With a beaming face, Jiang Tao laughed, “My old man transferred 5,000 yuan to my card when he found out I got into a special abilities academy. Lunch is on me today!”
Chen Ye didn’t want to spoil the mood, so he agreed with a smile, “Congratulations! You definitely owe me a treat.”
In their class, the two had the best relationship, often spending nights at internet cafes together.
Though Jiang Tao liked to show off, he treated Chen Ye well, never forgetting him when good things came his way.
So, the two set off for Deli Restaurant together.
Upon arrival, they found the restaurant bustling with students celebrating their special recruitment.
Coincidentally, Chen Ye saw Wen Xingyi there too.
————————-
Chapter 69
Wen Xingyi was also at the restaurant with a few of her close friends, celebrating her special admission by treating them to a meal.
“Wow, Wen Xingyi is really here too!” Jiang Tao exclaimed.
Chen Ye asked, “Didn’t you say you wanted to be classmates with her? Why not go say hello?”
“No way…” Jiang Tao replied awkwardly. “I wanted to be classmates with her, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Although her overall evaluation is also ‘E,’ her basic attributes are much higher than mine. The instructor said her overall strength would soon reach ‘D’ rank. So, she got recruited by the best abilities academy, while I ended up in a lesser one.”
“I see…”
Chen Ye smiled and patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder, comforting him, “It’s okay, you’re already doing great. Much better than me.”
Hearing this, Jiang Tao smiled, “I’m already satisfied getting into an abilities academy.”
Noticing the topic might be a bit demoralizing for his friend, Jiang Tao handed the menu to Chen Ye. “Let’s not talk about this. Here, you order. Don’t be polite with me!”
…
After lunch, the students began to leave in groups.
“Old Chen, are you full?” Jiang Tao asked while picking his teeth with a toothpick.
“I stopped eating a while ago, waiting for you to finish,” Chen Ye replied.
Jiang Tao chuckled, “Let’s go!”
Chen Ye nodded.
After Jiang Tao settled the bill, the two left the restaurant together.
They headed to the bus stop, planning to take the bus back to school. The restaurant was about three stops away from school; they could walk, but it would take some time. The key was that after eating, Jiang Tao, a bit on the heavier side, didn’t feel like walking, so he insisted on taking the bus back.
As for taking a taxi, it felt a bit too luxurious for students.
While waiting at the bus stop, Jiang Tao suddenly noticed something and said, “Old Chen, look at ten o’clock, Wen Xingyi and her friends are also coming to take the bus.”
Chen Ye turned to see Wen Xingyi and her friends laughing and chatting as they approached the bus stop.
Chen Ye’s perfect physique caught the attention of these girls.
“Wow, this guy is so handsome and has such a great body!”
“Isn’t he from our school? From the class next door?”
“Really? How did I not notice we had such a potential guy at our school?”
“Xingyi, what do you think?”
“He’s alright…”
“Xingyi has high standards, asking her is pointless. But this guy is my type. I’d love to see if he has abs.”
…
Chen Ye: “…”
With his enhanced mental power, Chen Ye’s hearing was incredibly sharp, allowing him to hear the girls’ conversation clearly.
Although Jiang Tao couldn’t hear their whispers, he knew they were talking about Chen Ye while ignoring him entirely.
“Damn! Old Chen, you have to tell me what you eat every day to get such a good body!” Jiang Tao whispered.
Just then, the bus arrived, and everyone boarded.
There weren’t many people on the bus, just a few elderly folks, leaving plenty of empty seats.
The girls headed straight to the back seats, chattering non-stop.
Jiang Tao wanted to sit closer to the girls but saw Chen Ye casually sit down somewhere. He couldn’t bring himself to go alone and reluctantly sat next to Chen Ye.
“Old Chen, why sit here? It’s such a rare chance to be close to Wen Xingyi! What a waste…” Jiang Tao muttered.
Chen Ye glanced at Jiang Tao, feeling more and more that he should leave the school environment soon. His mindset and habits no longer fit in with these immature students.
As the bus started moving, it crossed a bridge over a roaring river below.
Suddenly, an elderly woman shouted from the front, “Hey, driver, stop the bus! I forgot to get off!”
The bus driver was obviously annoyed, “We’re on a bridge. How can I stop? Wait until the next stop.”
The old lady, being quite stubborn, retorted angrily, “Why can’t you stop? Just pull over for a moment! Hurry up and stop the bus!”
The driver, irritated but aware of how difficult such passengers could be, replied patiently, “Ma’am, we have rules. We can’t stop except at designated stops, or we’ll be fined a month’s salary… The next stop is soon. Please wait.”
“What kind of stupid rule is that? I don’t care. I need to get off now. I can’t walk back from the next stop!” the old lady demanded, grabbing at the driver.
The driver, now furious, shouted, “I’m warning you, don’t touch me!”
The lady, even more agitated, yelled, “Oh? Warning me? What, you gonna hit me? Stop the bus now!”
She then reached for the steering wheel.
Seeing this, Chen Ye’s face changed. He remembered similar incidents back on Earth, never expecting to see it happen here.
To prevent disaster, Chen Ye immediately moved to stop the lady.
But the driver, seemingly fed up, didn’t stop her, allowing the situation to escalate.
With a screech, the bus swerved, crashing into a car and veering off the bridge into the river below.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Everyone on the bus screamed as it plunged into the river, quickly sinking.
Everyone, except Chen Ye, was thrown around, getting severely hurt.
The young people fared better, managing to hold on to something, but the elderly were badly injured, some even unconscious.
Chen Ye, with his high attributes, remained unscathed.
“Ouch! Ouch…” The old lady, holding her shoulder, cried out in pain. Seeing the bus surrounded by water, her face turned pale, realizing the severity of her actions.
She had caused a major disaster…
——————–
Chapter 70
At this moment.
The bus was in chaos.
Everyone, realizing what had happened, started screaming.
“Ah! The bus fell into the river!”
“We’re done for…”
“Help! I don’t want to die!”
“Driver, please, open the door so we can swim out!”
The driver, sitting at the front, had already been knocked unconscious by the impact.
Others tried to open the doors, but found that both the front and rear doors were jammed and impossible to open. This was due to the immense water pressure from the river outside, combined with the air pressure inside the bus, creating an enormous force keeping the doors shut.
Several high school students, understanding this principle, prepared to break the windows to let water in and equalize the pressure so they could open the doors.
However, all the bus windows were made of toughened glass, and the window opener had gone missing in the collision.
“We’re done for, we’re going to be trapped here,” one of Wen Xingyi’s friends said in a panic.
Many who couldn’t swim turned pale with fear.
The elderly woman responsible for the disaster suddenly screamed, “You young people, think of something!”
Hearing this, almost everyone glared angrily at her.
If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t be in this dire situation.
A thief in old age is still a thief!
Everyone wanted to beat her to death.
No one paid her any attention…
Chen Ye looked at the woman with icy eyes.
He could swim, and with his enhanced attributes, breaking out and swimming to shore would be easy.
But as for saving others, it would depend on his mood…
Seeing the bus sinking faster and with no one able to find a solution, Chen Ye sighed and stepped forward.
There was no room for being low-key anymore.
In such a situation, staying low-key would be playing with his life.
“Move back, all of you!”
Chen Ye went to the front door of the bus.
“Old Chen, what are you doing?” Jiang Tao asked.
“Opening the door! Saving you all!” Chen Ye replied seriously. “When the door opens, a lot of water will flood in. Hold on tight to the handrails. If you can’t swim, close your eyes and hold your breath. I’ll try to get you out.”
With that, Chen Ye approached the front door.
“Old Chen, don’t joke around. The door is sealed shut by the pressure. You can’t open it…” Jiang Tao said. “Even if you can open it, you’ll be the first to get hurt when the water rushes in!”
The elderly woman suddenly screamed, “No, I can’t swim. Don’t open the door! Wait for the police to rescue us!”
She tried to grab Chen Ye.
“Get lost!”
Chen Ye wasn’t going to tolerate this troublesome old woman. He kicked her, sending her flying backward.
A normal person would likely pass out from such a kick from Chen Ye.
However, despite her age, this woman was quite healthy from all the square dancing she did and only let out an “Ouch” without fainting.
Of course, she couldn’t get up to cause more trouble.
No one objected to Chen Ye’s actions, and some even wanted to applaud him.
Everyone knew that if they didn’t escape now, they wouldn’t survive until the police arrived.
Chen Ye didn’t waste any more time. He clenched his fist and punched the door.
Boom!
It sounded like a thunderclap in the bus, and everyone’s ears rang from the noise.
The door that no one could budge was blasted off by Chen Ye’s punch.
Everyone was astonished!
The next moment, a torrent of river water flooded into the bus.
Chen Ye, with his high agility, quickly moved aside to avoid being hit by the incoming water.
“Hold on tight!”
Hearing Chen Ye’s reminder, everyone grabbed the handrails and closed their eyes, bracing for the water.
The water surged in, and within seconds, the bus was submerged.
The girls who couldn’t swim started flailing in the water.
It was a natural reaction for those who couldn’t swim, struggling desperately when submerged.
Chen Ye took a deep breath and opened his eyes underwater. (Underwater vision is possible but limited.)
To his annoyance, he saw that Wen Xingyi and her friends, along with Jiang Tao, couldn’t swim.
With no choice, he went over, grabbed Jiang Tao by the collar with one hand, and held Wen Xingyi’s delicate body with the other.
Yes, it was preferential treatment!!
Another reason was to prevent Jiang Tao from panicking and clinging to him, which would hinder his movements.
Experienced rescuers know that saving people in the water is dangerous. Those who can’t swim will grab onto anything, potentially dragging their rescuer down with them.
When he grabbed Wen Xingyi, she clung to him tightly, her legs flailing.
Fortunately, Chen Ye was strong enough not to be affected.
With these two in hand, he used his telekinesis to pull Wen Xingyi’s three friends.
Chen Ye quickly swam out through the front door.
Although his hands were full, his telekinesis acted as a propelling force, pushing him forward underwater.
As for the others…
Sorry!
Chen Ye wasn’t an octopus.
With limited ability, he could only wish them luck.
Soon, thanks to Chen Ye, the young people reached the shore.
In addition to Chen Ye’s group, an elderly man who could swim also survived, bringing the unconscious driver with him.
Grandpa is indeed grandpa!
As for the troublesome elderly woman…
May she be just as troublesome in the afterlife!
