Chapter 19

Instructor Fang was unhurried, raising his hands to form a field of mental energy that blocked the freezing breath, allowing the panicked students to run into the isolation room. When he turned back, he saw that Wu Mingzhao had not left either. A layer of force field separated him, keeping him safe, but his face was pale, his body trembling, and his eyes filled with an indescribable resentment. It was unclear what he was thinking.

Li Wenfu, on the other hand, was fully protecting Lu Sheng, not retreating in the frosty wind.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...

The core in Du Nan's hand was vibrating, and the students behind the glass wall could also hear this heart-stirring tremor. Looking at the weakly glowing Lu Sheng, they had no idea how to describe the change in Du Nan. Both had fused with a core, but one was calm and unremarkable, while the other had almost frozen the entire training ground. Was this just a fusion reaction? If used in battle, how much would the difference be... The students dared not imagine the gap.

Instructor Fang was both surprised and delighted.

He knew Du Nan was a martial arts genius but did not know he was also a magic energy awakener. And taking advantage of today's opportunity, he had actually started to fuse. There was no need for further testing of the type. The ice origin was definitely a water-type magic energy, now a result of mutation. There was also no need to test the degree of fusion. Without any accidents, he would fuse with the pure water core faster than Lu Sheng.

Martial arts genius.

Ice-type magic energy... Two figures appeared in Instructor Fang's mind: Jin Ling and Li Qifeng, two of the top ten warriors in the Blue Sea Federation. These two military giants were also geniuses who cultivated both martial arts and magic energy.

However, they did not fuse with the pure water core. They had tried, but failed.

Instructor Fang looked at Du Nan again, this frost-covered youth, and thought: This child will likely stir up a storm. The Li family, known for its foresight and chivalry, had surely investigated this child's background long ago? And Kong Qingyuan, who strongly recommended Du Nan to come to Baiquan City for training, did he know something? Damn! The officials in the government and military didn't ask anything, executing Kong Qingyuan in a few shots. He was once Du Nan's most respected mentor and the one who understood him the most, a pity.

Instructor Fang didn't care about the so-called fifth magic energy; it didn't exist.

As a military informant, he only cared about the outstanding seeds among the people. Given the current situation, even if Du Nan's fusion failed, his identity as a magic energy awakener would prevent any rash actions. After all, besides the government and military, the Blue Sea Federation had two other major forces: the Magic Energy Warrior Association and the Rebel Revolutionary Army.

The three major forces were always in fierce competition for magic energy warriors. The existence of the Magic Energy Warrior Association, however, prevented anyone from having ulterior motives toward such special talents.

Killing Kong Qingyuan.

Undoubtedly, this added the greatest obstacle to the Federation and military's efforts to 'recruit' Du Nan.

Forceful recruitment? The so-called 'conscription order' had long become an ancient document. In modern history, there was a new term called 'ten conscripts, nine rebels,' referring to magic energy warriors forcibly conscripted into the military. Sending a warrior with super strength, harboring resentment, and equipped with the Federation's strongest mecha into battle, it would be strange if he didn't turn his gun around. There were too many such self-destructive incidents, and countless star alliances had long banned conscription orders.

Martial arts genius, ice-type talent, pure water core... The more Instructor Fang thought, the more he hated it. These officials, who did nothing useful, were always causing trouble. He could judge that the main reason Du Nan didn't reveal his awakener identity was the death of his mentor, Kong Qingyuan. If not for Elder Zhou's recommendation, he probably wouldn't have come to Baiquan City for training. With resentment in his heart, strength in his body, and youthful arrogance... This was simply a perfect seed for the Rebel Revolutionary Army.

The authorities of Baiquan City, can you do something useful for once?

Instructor Fang was indignant and secretly opened a hidden communicator, transmitting this information to a secret military unit.

Let them deal with the headache. He believed that within a day, the Magic Energy Warrior Association would send someone to register Du Nan. Whoever among the three major forces could win over this super new star would depend on their skills. The authorities of Baiquan City, once they knew, would likely be a group of people regretting to the point of madness.

Du Nan was in the process of fusion.

He had no idea that his fate had already changed. He didn't understand what magic energy awakening meant for an ordinary person.

Time passed.

Half a day later.

"I am Luo Hou, the current president of the Magic Energy Warrior Association." When Du Nan opened his eyes again, there were several people in front of him, and the middle-aged man in a white robe introduced himself. By this time, the basement had been cleaned up, and Lu Sheng had already 'awakened' before him. From his appearance, it was clear he had successfully fused and become a one-star White Iron-level warrior. Du Nan had already fused successfully and had just pretended to sleep, and it seemed no one suspected.

"This is the registration book."

Luo Hou was efficient, looking as if he was in a hurry: "Please use your magic energy to sign. Just a little bit. It's similar to logging into the Magic Network. Oh, you probably haven't used the Magic Network. Anyway, just input a little magic energy, and this thing can automatically identify your identity."

Du Nan followed the instructions and input his magic energy.

Then, he watched as Luo Hou wrote 'Du Nan,' thinking this was probably similar to DNA verification. The difference was that it only recognized different magic energies. Based on the principle that anyone 'can only have one' magic energy, it was unique.

Du Nan thought: Besides himself, no one in the world could create two 'identities.'

Registering the ice-type lightning and hiding the lightning magic energy, Du Nan had no objections. He felt that Luo Hou had no ill intentions and sensed that this person was stronger than himself. It wasn't in martial arts or one-star ice magic energy; the hidden lightning magic energy he possessed was also inferior to this person.

If he were really five-star.

Then Luo Hou would be at least six-star or higher. In any case, he was on a higher level than himself.

The strongest five-star armor master in the Blue Sea Federation was among the top ten warriors... Du Nan now confirmed that the official statements were nonsense. The president of the Magic Energy Warrior Association in front of him was definitely several times stronger than those 'TV heroes.'

"Second level in martial arts, almost to the third, hmm, ice-type magic energy, pure water core..." Luo Hou's face suddenly became strange, and he asked: "You're not bad, kid. It's been over two hundred years since anyone could fuse with the pure water core. No wonder, the phone calls came to me. Hmm, you also have a very mysterious feeling. What is it? Kid, what other treasures do you have hidden? Show them to me."

Luo Hou couldn't sense it, only a subtle feeling.

Du Nan was very obedient and quickly presented his secret treasures... such as: a smart phone, 12,600 blue coins, three pieces of gold-wood candy, two photos of Li Fatso introducing beautiful women, and a list of beautiful women from the Military Academy that Li Fatso had collected. Seeing that Luo Hou was still unsatisfied, he dug deeper and presented five photos of beautiful women that Li Wenfu had 'generously' given, the unclothed kind.

Then.

All the officials and soldiers were stunned.

These are treasures?

If these could make Old Luo marvel, he could get a whole train car of them with a phone call, enough for the old man to enjoy.

"Alright."

Luo Hou put away the five photos of the naked women, with a look of 'you're underage, I'll keep them': "Since you admit it, let's leave it at that. I'm too lazy to ask more. You're now a member of the Magic Association, and I need to tell you the rules. Our rules... well, there don't seem to be any rules..."

Luo Hou had been out of office for too long and had forgotten what to do.

Du Nan was speechless.

He thought: Can you, sir, justify your salary as the president of the Magic Association?

"Never mind, let's talk about some benefits. Magic Energy Warriors are not bound by laws, but there is an unspoken rule: No killing in life! No destruction in death! No punishment for crimes! No imprisonment for evil!" Luo Hou said, shocking everyone.

Then.

Luo Hou continued to explain: "This means that as long as a magic energy awakener stands on the side of their race, no matter what they do, they cannot be executed. After death, their body must be recovered. Even at the cost of losing a battle, the body of a magic energy warrior cannot be abandoned. Those serving the Federation or the Star Alliance, if they commit a crime, cannot be punished to the point of disability. Even if they have a wicked nature, they cannot be imprisoned, and efforts must be made to educate and protect them. Basically, that's it!"

Du Nan nodded.

He was amazed: This level of protection wasn't just having a 'get out of jail free' card; it was being a 'get out of jail free' card itself.

No killing in life, no punishment for crimes.

Damn, they were living in a world 'beyond the law.'

"Kid, with power, you shouldn't cause trouble for no reason, got it?" Luo Hou, middle-aged in appearance, spoke with a serious tone, like a kind elder educating a mischievous younger generation, but the next sentence ruined it: "If you encounter someone you don't like, kill them, and remember to run back to the Magic Association, and we'll cover for you."

Saying this, he patted Du Nan's shoulder.

He shook his white robe and walked away lightly, without taking a single speck of dust.

The remaining people... were in disarray in the wind.

Du Nan was completely speechless, thinking: Is this how you educate the younger generation? What does it mean to kill someone you don't like? Listening to such a satisfying statement, is this encouraging me to bully kids in the future? Such good benefits, it's like lying around and waiting to die, does this mean I don't need to strive and be a four-good youth in society?
