Because of the mutation, the examinations could only be suspended.

To prevent such situations from happening among the students, the school decided to conduct a thorough examination to ensure that there was no such monster hiding among the students and teachers.

Therefore, for the next two days, Jiang Yi did not have much to do. He only focused on cultivating.

During these two days, Jiang Yi didn’t hear about the genetic mutation anymore. Apparently, the current situation was still within the control of the Skynet.

However, the recent events that happened one after another still made Jiang Yi feel a sense of crisis.

In this situation where the myriad races were invading and various forces were dominating the human realm, only enough strength could ensure his safety.

Therefore, Jiang Yi didn’t relax these two days.

That night Jiang Yi went to the park after school as usual to cultivate.

In the past two days, he had already mastered the Immortal clan cultivation method in the Breath Sutra. Now, he was cultivating the second chapter, which was about the transformation of the Godly clan’s aura.

When he came to the crowd, Jiang Yi relied on the fact that cultivating the Breath Sytra was more concealed and openly began to circulate the cultivation method. However, before he could even circulate the cultivation method once, the old man he met last time came to his side.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was so focused, the old man chuckled and said, “Young man, you work very hard.”

In the past two days, Jiang Yi had met the old man every day when he came to the park to cultivate. Therefore, Jiang Yi didn’t mind. The old man shouldn’t be a martial artist, so he couldn’t see the profoundness of the Breath Sutra.

Therefore, he said perfunctorily, “It’s just to train my body. However, you’re already so old, yet you come out to train every day. You’re really old but vigorous.”

The old man smiled, “It’s fate that we can chat. Young man, I still don’t know your name. Can you introduce me?”

Jiang Yi nodded, “My name is Jiang Yi. May I know your surname?”

The old man laughed, “My surname is Zhao, Jiang Yi… this name is not bad. It suits your persistent style.”

Then, the two chatted for a while.

The old man’s attitude was always kind, no different from how his grandparents treated their juniors.

Jiang Yi’s words were always funny. In addition, he was very polite, so the two got along well.

During this process, Jiang Yi also learned that the old man was a martial artist when he was young. In a battle, his bloodline foundation was damaged. Now that he was older, his martial arts skills were less than ten percent of what they used to be. Only then did he live a life of retirement.

Jiang Yi thought it was a pity.

Those who could go to the battlefield were the heroes of the human race no matter what.

If it were not for the fact that his bloodline was damaged and he could not cultivate, the old man would not be as weak as he was now.

It should be known that after a warrior cultivated, he could increase his own lifespan. Even an E-class warrior could easily live for more than 200 years.

Therefore, Jiang Yi still respected the old man.

“Elder Zhao, you can be considered a hero of the human race. It’s a little rude of me not to know about it before.”

Elder Zhao laughed out loud, “Hahaha, it’s all in the past. Don’t worry about it. Although I have no children now, I have more than a dozen dogs. It’s fun to tease them every day.”

Jiang Yi could only nod, and his favorable impression of Elder Zhao also increased by a lot.

It seemed that this old martial artist was still very optimistic.

However, Elder Zhao’s next sentence made Jiang Yi wary.

“Jiang Yi, I see that you come here every day to train, so you should be someone who wants to become stronger. I have a trick here, do you want to try it?”

Immediately after, Elder Zhao lowered his voice, “If you are willing, you might even have a chance to be several times stronger than now!”

Jiang Yi suddenly said, “Elder Zhao, you must be joking. My talent is average, and I’m destined to have no future. To be honest with you, I only want to make money now!”

“Hahahaha! You’re really interesting!”

Elder Zhao was very amused but Jiang Yi had another trick up his sleeve.

This Elder Zhao had appeared by his side for a few days in a row. At first, Jiang Yi thought it was a coincidence. After all, the place where Jiang Yi practiced was in the middle of a group of old people.

However, after listening to Elder Zhao’s words, Jiang Yi felt that something was amiss.

An old man whose martial arts had been crippled said that it could make him several times stronger. Since there was such a method, then he should not be in his current state!

Not to mention other things, wouldn’t the officials of the human realm treat him as an immortal?

Moreover, although he had been cultivating in the group of old men for the past few days, the place he looked for was different every time. However, Elder Zhao had been able to meet him all the time. This itself was very problematic!

Previously, Jiang Yi didn’t think too much about it. However, with a little analysis now, he discovered many problems.

Hence, Jiang Yi judged that Elder Zhao was definitely not an ordinary person!

However, Elder Zhao didn’t continue the topic from before. It seemed that he didn’t say anything more when he saw that Jiang Yi wasn’t interested.

However, Jiang Yi wouldn’t think so simply.

The other party had been staring at him for a few days. Could it be that he wanted to ask a few questions?

After some thought, Jiang Yi looked at the sky and said, “Elder Zhao, it’s going to be dark soon. I still need to go home. Let’s chat another day.”

“Okay.”

Elder Zhao nodded and watched Jiang Yi leave alone.

However, Jiang Yi didn’t leave immediately. Instead, after leaving Elder Zhao’s line of sight, he took another detour and returned to a corner of the park.

This was a viewing platform in the park. The location was quiet and serene, but it could survey the entire park.

There was definitely something wrong with Elder Zhao just now, and the other party had actually targeted him. Jiang Yi decided to take the initiative to attack, wanting to see if he could get a grasp of the other party’s situation.

Under Jiang Yi’s observation, Elder Zhao had been wandering among the group of elders, exercising from time to time, acting just like the other elders.

However, as time passed, the other elders returned home, but Elder Zhao still had no intention of leaving.

Jiang Yi was not in a hurry and just quietly observed.

By midnight, there was almost no one in the park, but Elder Zhao was still wandering around. This made Jiang Yi more certain of his guess!

“This old thing is indeed not right. How could a normal elder wander around the park until late at night!”

Jiang Yi said in a low voice. But before he could think about what to do next, a dozen people suddenly appeared around him and quickly gathered at Elder Zhao’s side!

At this moment, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but be shocked.

Those people moved extremely quickly, so fast that Jiang Yi couldn’t even see them clearly. This meant that they were all martial artists!

And from the looks of it, their strength had reached at least D-class!

Next, more than a dozen martial artists gathered at Elder Zhao’s side, and Elder Zhao took something out of his pocket and casually threw it on the ground.

Instantly, a shocking scene happened.

The more than ten D-class martial artists immediately laid on the ground, crazily fighting for the things Elder Zhao threw out, just like… a group of dogs fighting for food!

Jiang Yi couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart!

He recalled what Elder Zhao had said to him.

He had more than ten dogs, it was very fun to play with them!

Could the so-called dogs refer to those martial artists on the ground?

Jiang Yi’s hair stood on end. He was about to continue watching when Elder Zhao, who was far away, suddenly turned his head. His face even revealed the kind smile he had during the day.

At this moment, their gazes seemed to meet from afar, while Jiang Yi felt the blood all over his body turn cold inch by inch!
