Chapter 353

Possessing reconnaissance capabilities, and it's an SSS-tier skill at that.

Li Yao hardly needs to consider it.

The new summon slot unlocked at level 30.

It has to be that one!

The monsters Li Yao killed on this trip were all high-tier monsters between levels 30 and 40; the loot he obtained is currently beyond his ability to equip.

Therefore,

the primary goal now is to do everything possible to break through the level 30 threshold.

His own combat power will certainly undergo a heaven-shaking transformation.

It's just that he doesn't know

whether he will have a chance of winning against the so-called True Name-tier monsters after reaching level 30.

After counting the loot, Li Yao boarded the Dark-Wing Black Dragon and flew toward Sangyu City through the secret realm passage.

In less than ten minutes, he arrived in front of a giant teleportation array.

Stepping inside, the array activated.

After a bout of dizziness, Li Yao appeared inside the Shuyuan Martial Arts School.

Beside the array, only the Mayor of Sangyu City and others were waiting there.

Seeing Li Yao emerge, Meng Yanghai laughed loudly: "Yo, the top scholar is out?"

Li Yao bowed slightly and immediately asked, "Mayor, what is the meaning of this?"

"Need you even ask?" Meng Yanghai patted Li Yao's shoulder hard. "You kid have really brought honor to our Sangyu City! A national top scholar! After so many years, Sangyu has finally produced another national top scholar!"

"I knew you could do it, hahaha!"

Seeing Li Yao still looking bewildered, Meng Yanghai explained with a smile: "The moment you entered the secret realm passage, Xue Jiulan announced the news of you being the top scholar!"

"Don't worry, Xue Jiulan knows your temperament; currently, only the high command of the Dragon Nation knows this news."

"As for that live broadcast, the world only knows that the strongest genius of the Dragon Nation is named Li Yao. As for your appearance, the Federation urgently applied blurring processing afterward; unless it's someone who knows you well, they won't recognize you, kid!"

"Live broadcast?"

"You didn't know?" Meng Yanghai asked, puzzled.

Meng Yanghai informed Li Yao of everything that happened outside during the contest battle.

"So, Mayor, you mean that all the practitioners in the country could see me fighting that Ke'eryin?"

Three black lines appeared on Li Yao's forehead.

Those people in the Federation high command really keep up with the times; they even know about something as youthful as live streaming.

"It's a bit shameful to say, but Elder Qian and the others only made the broadcast public when they saw you and Zhang Yucheng and the others were gaining the upper hand, hoping to stir up the fighting spirit of young practitioners across the country."

"I didn't expect that monster larva could actually evolve, and even less did I expect that the Named-tier monster was just a sacrifice brought out by the Titan Clan."

"If you hadn't stepped up, this broadcast might have become a massive joke!"

"Top geniuses from all over the country sacrificing themselves during the live broadcast."

"One can imagine what kind of turmoil that would have stirred up!"

"Senior, you are exaggerating," Li Yao said with a calm expression, adding indifferently, "Even without me, General Xue and the others would have sent reinforcements."

"Haha, you kid," Meng Yanghai laughed, "Forget it, anyway, the rewards that are due won't be shorted by those above, so I won't say more."

Speaking of this, Meng Yanghai seemed to think of something and changed the subject: "Xue Jiulan has already told me about what happened in the passage secret realm. This matter is my fault; I didn't think it through."

"Now that the matter has passed, the Yan family and the others probably won't be able to jump around for many more days."

"So, if there is anything you want, just tell me; consider it my compensation."

"This junior believes it would be better for you, Mayor, to go discuss it with General Xue."

Li Yao said indifferently.

Senior Xue paid the remuneration to invite Mayor Meng Yanghai to protect him personally.

Regardless of how the other party performed, it should be handled by Senior Xue.

He also had no standing to say things like "it's fine."

Seeing Meng Yanghai about to speak again, Li Yao quickly said: "Mayor, if there is nothing urgent, I must return to Jiangzhou first. I'm afraid my family will worry about the live broadcast matter."

Meng Yanghai also knew Li Yao was eager to return home. "In any case, rest assured, that live broadcast didn't actually expose your identity. As long as you don't want people to know, just think of a name at will."

"Understood."

Li Yao nodded.

However,

why would he need to come up with a new name?

If the title of the number one genius could save him some trouble,

why not?

Li Yao didn't have the perverse hobby of playing the pig to eat the tiger just yet.
