Chapter 697: Maybe our pursuits are different! Our realms are different!

"Haha!" Qian Qian Hailong laughed loudly, "The Federation will certainly not forget your contribution, but this time no one recorded it for you."

"It doesn't matter!" Su Yang said indifferently, "In the past, I was quite excited about getting promoted, but now, whether I get promoted or have any credit, it seems like I don't feel anything..."

Qian Qian Hailong couldn't help but say: "You are clearly just a young man, why do I feel that you are more open-minded than us old folks?"

Su Yang smacked his lips and said: "Emmmmm... maybe our realms are different!"

These words made Xia Na, who was standing to the side, purse her lips and giggle.

Qian Qian Hailong's expression was slightly awkward, and he said in a low voice: "Young people should have the vigor of youth; don't be so gloomy."

"It could also be that our pursuits are different!"

"Uh..." Qian Qian Hailong lowered his head, lost in thought, and sighed sincerely, "Sigh! It seems so!"

"Your strength is already too powerful; it is only natural that your pursuits are different from those of ordinary people... it is we who cannot keep up with you."

"General Qian, you say that, and I feel embarrassed."

"What is there to be embarrassed about?" Qian Qian Hailong said openly, "I am indeed not as good as you; of course I have to admit it; there is nothing to it."

"General Qian truly has a great demeanor!"

"What great demeanor? Actually, I am also jealous of you!" Qian Qian Hailong turned his gaze to Xia Na and finally couldn't help but ask, "General Su, Xia Na's strength seems a bit strange!"

"She... is now considered an Emperor-grade Beastmaster!"

Qian Qian Hailong was shocked and said: "What?"

When Su Yang returned to the Southeast Military Region and met Qian Qian Hailong, Qian Qian Hailong discovered that the aura on Xia Na was extremely strong, seemingly even stronger than his own.

But Qian Qian Hailong didn't dare to be sure!

After all, Xia Na, who followed Su Yang, looked very young; she was probably not even twenty years old.

Qian Qian Hailong had the strength of a peak King-grade; if Xia Na was stronger than him, wouldn't she be Emperor-grade?

Qian Qian Hailong didn't dare to think that way.

After all, having one Emperor-grade Beastmaster under twenty, Su Yang, was already ridiculous enough; he didn't dare to think that the Huaxia Federation could produce another one.

He was suspicious in his heart, which was why he asked this question.

As a result... he began to suspect he had auditory hallucinations.

Su Yang affirmed: "She is now an Emperor-grade Beastmaster!"

There was nothing to hide about Xia Na's strength.

In the future, she would definitely take action, so it couldn't be hidden, nor was it necessary.

Even if the Federation had doubts and suspicions, they would at most ask, and wouldn't dare to do anything to force Su Yang.

On the current Water Blue Star, Su Yang considered himself the number one Beastmaster.

No one could constrain him.

"Emperor-grade Beastmaster? But she is so young..."

Su Yang smiled: "General Qian, why do you think I keep Xia Na by my side?"

"Oh!"

Qian Qian Hailong suddenly understood.

Counting the three beautiful women Su Yang kept by his side.

Liu Liu Mengyun staying by Su Yang's side was purely a coincidence; this was not a secret.

Su Yang had once served in the Southeast Military, and it was easy for a general-level figure like Qian Qian Hailong to find out the reason why Liu Liu Mengyun stayed by Su Yang's side.

Sovereign Jiazi, the island nation's number one genius Beastmaster; Su Yang believed she had extraordinary talent and the potential to break through to become an Emperor-grade Beastmaster, which was why he requested the General Military Region to spare her and keep her by his side.

It could be said that for someone like Su Yang, who had eyes higher than the top, those he could keep by his side must all be excellent people.

Then... Xia Na should be one of them.

She was a piece of unpolished jade discovered by Su Yang!

"Xia Na was born with a doom constitution; later, for some reason, she signed a contract with a mysterious pet!" Su Yang explained half-truthfully, "When I found her, her condition was not good; I thought that her pet likely possessed god-level potential, so I brought her by my side."

"God-level potential pet?"

Qian Qian Hailong felt a bit shocked.

The Huaxia Federation currently only knew of two god-level fierce beasts.

One was the Annihilation Phoenix that flew over the Huaxia Federation years ago, and one was the mysterious divine beast lurking in the ocean that triggered the sea beast tide.

As for god-level potential pets, the Huaxia Federation had never discovered any.

Because there were no data samples.

After all, the Huaxia Federation didn't have Su Yang's system.

They could only rely on experience to judge; for example, they knew the Annihilation Phoenix was a god-level fierce beast, so the Annihilation Phoenix's offspring were estimated to have god-level potential...

"I felt at the time that she was a talent worth cultivating, so I kept her by my side and cultivated her carefully; I didn't expect that in the recent period, her strength would advance by leaps and bounds and directly reach Emperor-grade!"

"So that's how it is!" Qian Qian Hailong looked at Xia Na and said with great envy, "It's really enviable and jealous-inducing... but General Su can truly be called a talent scout!"

Su Yang didn't know if Qian Qian Hailong believed it completely.

He just found a reason at random; as for whether others believed it or not, he didn't actually care.

"Alright, I'm going to bring Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi back!" Su Yang smiled, "I estimate that after this great battle, their strength might improve a bit more!"

"Go! Go!" Qian Qian Hailong waved his hand; he was already tired, and he really didn't want to keep staring at Su Yang's face. "I will report your contribution truthfully."

Experiencing one massive sea beast tide was not enough to crush this old general.

But Su Yang's blatant "showing off" made this old general unable to hold on.

It was simply too demoralizing.

He, Qian Qian Hailong, was also a famous genius of the Federation!

But compared to Su Yang and the three adjutants by Su Yang's side, he had the urge to resign, retire, and go home to spend his old age.

"Then goodbye, General Qian!"

Liu Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na were indeed growing very fast.

However, they were still not as good as Su Yang.

They only had one or two powerful pets, but every pet in Su Yang's hands was not inferior to theirs.

But in this sea beast tide, the three women all gained a lot.

Especially Liu Liu Mengyun; the Ice Moon Elf upgraded to Emperor-grade, which meant she could build more solid shelters for the Huaxia Federation.

When the two worlds merged, this would undoubtedly greatly enhance the survival rate of the Huaxia people.

Bringing back Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi, Su Yang received the gratitude of the generals of the Eastern Military Region and the Western Military Region; if it weren't for the presence of these two powerful Emperor-grade Beastmasters, Liu Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi, their losses would certainly have been even more severe.

Returning to the General Military Region, Su Yang briefly told Marshal Xu about the subsidence of the sea beast tide.

"This time, you did very well!"

Marshal Xu affirmed.

"It was my duty!"

Marshal Xu immediately turned his gaze toward Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na.

Su Yang seemed to have guessed what Marshal Xu would say next...
