Chapter 49: Inspection Envoy

In a wilderness area more than five hundred kilometers from Hong Ning Base City, a streak of black light flashed instantly.

At this moment, Zhou Yang, clad in a black god suit and standing on an arc blade disc, moved at the ultimate speed.

He is here to target a king‑level monster, the Ghost Horn Demon Bull King, that has taken up residence here.

First, he wants to verify his combat power after his recent breakthroughs; his strength has surged so fast that he can't quite gauge his true level.

Second, he hopes to use this chance to showcase his power, attract the attention of Jixian Wuguan, and vie for the position of Inspection Envoy.

He knows that a dedicated surveillance satellite constantly orbits over the wilderness surrounding Hong Ning Base City.

As long as he unleashes energy surpassing the War‑God level, it should quickly draw the Martial Arts Academy's attention.

"I'm telling you, Zhou Yang, you're the future Lord of Yunmo Star; what's so great about being an Inspection Envoy?"

Babata's voice snarked in Zhou Yang's mind.

Zhou Yang, piloting the arc blade disc at high speed, offered an explanation in his thoughts.

"Babata, you don't get it. We want to contact various factions and trade things like warship wreckage; having the Inspection Envoy title would make that a lot easier."

"You're just being too cautious!"

Babata muttered discontentedly:

"If you ask me, just go straight to the front, show your power; if you can negotiate, negotiate, if not, seize it. Why waste time?"

"Babata!"

Hearing that, Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and muttered low:

"Do you think I'm invincible? Besides, Earth is my hometown; don't say that to me again!"

"Uh…"

In the auxiliary Light Brain, the black‑robed child whose remark was rebuked paled and awkwardly replied, "Hehe, I've been holding it in too long, the resentment got a bit big."

"Alright, a target was spotted five kilometers ahead. Prepare for combat!"

"Got it!"

Zhou Yang let out a low shout, and the arc blade disc beneath him surged forward instantly!

Meanwhile, in a quiet chamber of Jixian Wuguan's headquarters, a black‑robed man, who was briefing two people in front of him, furrowed his brow slightly.

"Hall Master, what's wrong?"

In front of him, a tall, muscular man with a mane of golden hair, resembling a lion, asked.

The black‑robed man was Hong, the Grand Hall Master of Jixian Wuguan and the world's foremost strongest.

At that moment his expression showed slight surprise, then he let out a soft sigh and said with a smile:

"You'll see for yourselves."

As his words faded, beams of light converged on one wall of the quiet chamber.

Soon, a clear image appeared before them.

"Ghost Horn Demon Bull King!"

The golden‑haired strongman froze the instant he saw the image.

The picture showed a massive black wild‑bull monster roaring furiously.

The beast stood twenty to thirty stories tall, its body covered in thick, jet‑black hair that hung like inverted steel spikes.

A pair of terrifying gray‑black massive horns atop its head glimmered with a chilling, forest‑cold light, as if to pierce the heavens.

"God! That's one of the most formidable king‑level monsters, the Ghost Horn Demon Bull King. Who's the official opposite it? Why does it look unfamiliar?"

The golden‑haired man's face showed slight alarm, and the cold‑aura female warrior beside him also wore a solemn expression.

"Moo~~~"

At that moment, the gigantic wild‑bull monster in the image roared and launched a charge!

Its massive four hooves galloped through the void, soaring straight into the sky.

Between its colossal horns, a radiant glow surged, and the next instant a fierce black beam shot out.

Opposite it, a tall figure clad in a black god suit and standing on a strange arc‑shaped blade disc hovered in the void.

When the black beam fired, the figure on the odd blade disc flickered and instantly shifted dozens of meters away.

Simultaneously, thin, cicada‑wing‑like arc blades sprang from the disc beneath his feet, quickly assembling in the air into a massive Jin Shu‑colored arc blade!

As the figure lifted a hand and pointed, the huge Jin Shu arc blade shot out in an instant!

"Puff!"

The charging Ghost Horn Demon Bull King couldn't react in time and was pierced straight through by the arc blade.

"Pong~"

The colossal body, comparable to a small mountain, slammed onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

At the same moment, the golden‑haired strongman in the quiet chamber of Jixian Wuguan's headquarters felt his heart skip a beat!

"Hall Master, wh‑who is that?"

The cold‑aura woman beside the golden‑haired man also couldn't help but ask.

One strike—just a single blow—slayed a king‑level monster, and it was the especially powerful Ghost Horn Demon Bull King among its peers.

Even they both, personally, couldn't achieve that level.

"That blade of light…"

The two recalled the massive Jin Shu blade that seemed to slice through space, feeling a chill in their hearts.

If they were standing before that Jin Shu blade, the outcome probably wouldn't be much better than the Ghost Horn Demon Bull King's.

At this point, Hong, the cold‑sharp black‑robed man, seemed to have made a discovery, a faint smile curling his lips.

He lifted his head lightly and said with a smile:

"See for yourself."

"Hm?"

The blond muscular man and the cold woman both looked up at the projection.

The dust in the image was gradually dispersing.

The figure standing on the strange blade disc descended quickly; as it fell, the war helm formed by the Black God suit also retreated rapidly, revealing a very young face.

"God! It's him!"

An hour later, in a spacious, solemn, massive conference room at the Jixian Wuguan headquarters, figures were quietly seated around a huge round conference table.

In the center sat the Hall Master of Jixian Wuguan, the Strongest One on Earth today, Hong!

On his both sides sat the true senior officials of Jixian Wuguan.

They were Hall Master Hong's three elite guards: Bingshan, Yeshou, Yaorao!

And also the five senior Inspectors of Jixian Wuguan, including Inspector Wang.

If such a lineup were deployed together, they could easily wipe out a country!

At this moment, these top‑tier human elites, all of great power and status, were staring intently at a young figure seated opposite Hong, their faces still bearing unmistakable shock.

"You really surprise me."

Hong, clad in a black robe, gave a slight smile, breaking the silence first.

"I believed you would certainly reach Planet Level, yet I never imagined you'd break through so fast—it's been less than a month since we last met, hasn't it?"

Hong laughed, shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

"Hall Master, you're flattering me. A while ago I went to the wilderness area to practice gun technique; luck gave me a small chance."

Zhou Yang smiled modestly.

"Brother, this isn't just a small chance. In less than a month, you leapt from War God level straight to Councilor level—it's like soaring to the heavens!"

A gentle middle‑aged man with flowing long hair smiled and added.

Zhou Yang recognized him; he seemed to be the Inspector Liu He.

"Inspector Liu, you're flattering me—luck, luck!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand with a smile.

"That doesn't count as flattery."

The Inspector Wang, whom Zhou Yang had met before, also laughed and said:

"At that time I represented the Martial Arts Academy and signed a limited‑time contract with him. It was the end of the year; he was only at War General level. It's only been a few months, and he's already about to leave us old guys behind!"

"Indeed, the Yangtze's back waves push the front waves; we old guys are about to be smashed to death on the beach, hahaha~~~"

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely relaxed; the veteran strongmen showed no airs before Zhou Yang, happily joking with him.

Amid this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, an earth‑shaking piece of news spread rapidly across all human forces on Earth.

"Jixian Wuguan has added another Inspector; the new Inspector is named Zhou Yang."
