Chapter 27

A candidate for king is someone who has been determined to have a significant potential to evolve into a new human at the level of a War King.

Speaking of this, we need to mention the martial status of new humans after the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, the classification of combat power starts from the lowest level, the War Disciple, followed by the Warrior, and then the more advanced War Master.

And the War Master is a clear watershed. After breaking through the ninth rank of Warrior and advancing to the War Master, a martial artist's status will undergo a tremendous change.

A ninth-rank Warrior might just be a relatively high-ranking martial artist among ordinary martial artists, but once they step into the War Master, they will instantly enter the ranks of high-ranking martial artists, becoming a target for recruitment by the federal government and a sought-after asset for many mercenary teams.

This is because there is an incomparable gap between a War Master and a Warrior. A first-rank War Master can easily deal with over a hundred ninth-rank Warriors.

The reason for this is that the War Master has broken through the physical constraints of new humans, awakened their talents, and mastered a special kind of power, such as ice, fire, or a steel body, etc.

One could say that War Masters are the backbone of humanity's resistance against zombies and demonic beasts. Only by becoming a War Master does one have the true capital to fight against demonic beasts and zombies in the wild.

Above the War Master is the even more advanced War Sage, named after a grandmaster! At the level of War Sage, one can basically be considered a high-level combat force in human society. They are often the leaders or deputy leaders of mercenary teams, or high-ranking commanders of the federal government's base defense forces, and many other prominent positions.

The War Sage stands at the top of human society as a manager and is the first executor of the federal will.

And the War King is the true king among humans, a higher-level existence than the War Sage. This is a person who truly stands at the pinnacle of the human pyramid.

To put it this way, the reason humans can maintain the scale of thirty-three base cities now is that there are thirty-three human kings in the entire human world.

A single War King can fully protect the safety and existence of a base city. This is a peak-level powerhouse that can truly resist the top-tier existence of the demonic race and demonic beasts, a guardian of all humanity.

Each War King is a guardian god bestowed by heaven upon humanity. From the beginning of the apocalypse to now, in the three hundred years, the entire human world has produced fewer than a hundred War Kings. In the last fifty years, with a population of hundreds of millions, only nine War King-level powerhouses have evolved.

This shows how powerful and rare War Kings are!

And being rated as a candidate for king indicates that this eighteen-year-old girl has the potential to evolve into a War King. What does that mean?

More importantly, this girl is a natural-born dual-ability user of ice and fire. Once she grows into a War King and perfectly controls her ice and fire talents, the power she will unleash will be destructive. That will be a great blessing for their base.

"Eagle Eye, what do you mean? Are you suggesting we raid her? You should know that every candidate for king is an extremely important figure to the federation. Her security measures are extremely strict, and she will receive the best training from the federation. Do you think we have a chance to absorb such a person into our base?" A middle-aged man with a slender build looked at Bu Yan on the screen, his expression somewhat gloomy.

For geniuses who can be rated as candidates for king, they are all terrifyingly talented and will receive the best treatment and training from the federation. It is very difficult for them to snatch such a person from the federation.

"No, Commander, Chief of Staff, this is the good news I want to report to you. She is ours, and she will definitely join our organization!" Eagle Eye suddenly said excitedly, and by the end, he seemed to be incoherent.

His words also stirred everyone at the table, and many people's faces showed shock.

Chief of Staff An looked at the agitated Eagle Eye and said sternly, "Eagle Eye, what do you mean? Have you already recruited this candidate for king into our organization?"

By the end, Chief of Staff An's voice was trembling. After all, since the great battle fifty years ago, they had only three War King-level powerhouses, one of whom died in battle, another was severely injured and still in a coma, and only one remained with normal combat power.

But one War King, compared to the federation's dozen or so War Kings, was insignificant. The remaining War Kings were all neutral old men who did not want to get involved in their conflicts with the federation. Therefore, in the confrontation with the federation, they were naturally at an absolute disadvantage and had to lie low for decades.

Over the past few decades, they had not given up on trying to cultivate new kings to resist the federation, but the emergence of a king was extremely difficult, and the resources they had were negligible compared to the federation.

So, despite their best efforts over the past few decades, they had not cultivated a new king.

Now, Eagle Eye told him that a genius, rated as a candidate for king by the federation, had joined their camp. How could Chief of Staff An not be excited?

Seeing Chief of Staff An's excited state, Eagle Eye's heart was in turmoil. He had overreacted and exaggerated.

"Chief of Staff An, please calm down and listen to me!" Eagle Eye had to calm Chief of Staff An, somewhat awkwardly.

"Enough, Eagle Eye, stop being mysterious. Just tell us what's going on!" A woman in black, with a curvaceous figure and a cold expression, said coldly from the left side of the table.

The others also looked at Eagle Eye with unfriendly eyes. This guy was just trying to build suspense.

Eagle Eye took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said solemnly, "Everyone, although we have not yet contacted this woman, we have a great chance of persuading her to join our organization because she has been marked by our organization since birth!"

"What do you mean?" Chief of Staff An asked in a low, serious voice.

Eagle Eye did not speak but lightly touched the screen. The image changed, and Bu Yan's image disappeared, replaced by the images of another man and woman.

"Bu Zhonghua, male, 28 years old, third-rank War Master, talent: flame control. Surface occupation: member of the Elite Thunder God Team of the Eighth Base City of the Federation. Secretly: intelligence captain of the Ninth Base of our base."

"Jin Ruyan, female, 27 years old, first-rank War Master, talent: ice seal. Surface occupation: member and medic of the Elite Thunder God Team of the Eighth Base City of the Federation. Secretly: intelligence officer of the Ninth Base of our base."

"And they are Bu Yan's biological parents. Fifteen years ago, they both died in the Hangcheng battle."

"Fifteen years ago, the Hangcheng battle?" As Eagle Eye explained, the old man with white hair slowly showed a thoughtful expression and began to mutter, as if remembering something.

"Do you remember the Dynasty Proposal from back then?" Eagle Eye then brought up an unrelated topic, asking softly.

"Dynasty Proposal? What does that have to do with the Dynasty Proposal? Wasn't that plan rejected and never implemented?" The woman in black, who had spoken earlier, frowned and said again.

"That's right, the Dynasty Proposal was not approved, but the then director of the Ninth Base tried it out because he was secretly on good terms with Bu Zhonghua, and Bu Yan's talent had already been detected. After Bu Zhonghua's death, he took the opportunity to try the Dynasty Plan!" Eagle Eye said seriously.

"So, you mean to say that Bu Yan is the subject of the Dynasty Plan?" The old man with white hair finally spoke.

"That's right, but since the plan was carried out in secret, only the then decision-makers and executors, him and I, knew about it." Eagle Eye replied with a sigh.
