"Psychic Master?" Su Jing's pupils slightly contracted.

"Yes, just now, under my mental attack, you only froze for a moment, which indicates that you have good mental potential. However, you don't know how to use it at all, so you're probably not a Psychic Master yet, right?" the old man said calmly.

"Let me ask you a question first, do you know Luo Feng?" Su Jing squinted his eyes, his heart beating faster.

"Do I need to ask? Who in this world doesn't know Luo Feng? He is our hero, the idol of all Psychic Masters. I admired him so much that I visited the places where he trained. I never expected to be ambushed by villains near Fog Island this time." The old man coughed again.

"In this world, there is no Luo Feng," Su Jing thought to himself, but he didn't say it. If his guess was correct, the old man should come from the Devouring Starry Sky. If it is the Devouring Starry Sky, then the Porsche 918 being treated as garbage makes sense, because the background of the Devouring Starry Sky is the end of the modern Earth, where the streets are full of abandoned luxury cars, and it's not strange for a Porsche to be thrown away as garbage.

In that world, due to the outbreak of the RR virus, the global mortality rate reached nearly 30%. In just three months, not only did a large number of animals die, but the global population also decreased by nearly 2 billion. The surviving human population, about 5 billion, all naturally developed antibodies, and their bodies became much better. Almost every human's strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness increased by more than one fold! Even an ordinary person could easily break past world records in weightlifting and the 100-meter dash.

However... the disaster began! Humans, who had always lived comfortably, saw their physical conditions improve significantly. Similarly, the birds and beasts that survived the RR virus, following the natural law of survival of the fittest, saw their strength increase much more astonishingly than humans. Moreover, some terrifying monsters even gained intelligence!

To fight against the monsters and survive, humans had to train and become stronger, thus giving rise to two types of powerful beings—Warriors and Psychic Masters.

"Could these garbage items have brought the RR virus?" Su Jing suddenly felt a jolt of fear, but he and the cats and dogs in the yard were fine, so it seemed the virus hadn't been brought over. He wasn't being paranoid; it was just that the old man's previous gaze had scared him.

"Can you really teach me to become a Psychic Master?" Su Jing asked the old man. After understanding the situation, his eyes began to shine. Psychic Masters are a group of superhumans who can attack with mental power, and they are incredibly strong. How could Su Jing not be interested?

"I can not only guide you but also give you something." The old man's voice had a tempting tone. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, quickly take out the backpack on my left side."

"Backpack on the left side?" Su Jing noticed that the old man had a bag slung over his left shoulder, half buried in the garbage. He wanted to go over, but he was hesitant. Was the old man really unable to move, or was he trying to trick him into coming closer and then attacking him? It wasn't that Su Jing was being overly cautious; it was just that the old man's previous gaze had scared him.

"He probably wouldn't have done that. If he wanted to attack me, I would have been dead the moment he opened his eyes," Su Jing steeled himself and walked over, taking out the backpack on the old man's left side. He then dragged the old man completely out of the garbage pile and asked, "Should I help you treat your injuries first?"

"Do you have Life Water or Spirit of Plants?" the old man asked.

"No," Su Jing was speechless. Life Water and Spirit of Plants are rare treasures. Life Water is worth 30 billion, and Spirit of Plants is something almost no one is willing to sell. Besides, those are things from the Devouring Starry Sky; how could he possibly have them?

"Then don't waste your time. You can't cure me. I'm just holding on with my willpower," the old man said, glancing at the backpack. "Quickly open that backpack, don't let the little guy suffocate."

"What little guy?" Su Jing was taken aback. He opened the backpack, and a white, wolf-like creature jumped out, baring its teeth at Su Jing. However, because it was so small, it looked quite cute. Su Jing held it down and asked, "What kind of creature is this?"

"A Battle Wolf, its mother is a Lesser Lord-level monster," the old man said.

Su Jing's hand trembled, almost dropping the young wolf. He suddenly felt like he was holding a hot potato. After the Great Nirvana period in the Devouring Starry Sky, various animals and beasts, under genetic mutations, evolved into all sorts of strange and terrifying monster races. For example, there are many types of pig monsters, dog monsters, cat monsters, rat monsters, gecko monsters, wolf monsters, tiger monsters, snake monsters, eagle monsters, bear monsters...

According to their strength, they are divided into Beast Soldier level, Beast General level, Lord level, King level... Even a Beast Soldier-level monster is enough to crush all the animals on the current Earth, making them as weak as kittens. A Lord-level monster has a body stronger than diamond, and even missiles can hardly kill it.

For Su Jing, this pet is not weak, but it is too strong. Although a Lord-level young one may not necessarily grow up to be a Lord-level, it needs to go through battles and transformations to gradually improve. However, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The bloodline and potential of a Lord-level young one are so strong that even if it doesn't go through training, how could it be weak?

Such a powerful creature, if it goes out and causes trouble, wouldn't it create chaos in the world? Even if it doesn't cause trouble, what could he do with it? It's a peaceful era now, and he doesn't need to fight.

"This time, we went through great hardships to steal the young one when the mother wolf was attacked by a war god. We didn't expect to make a huge profit, but instead, it led to my companions' greed and my near death. Now, it can only benefit you. You can raise it or sell it if you can't afford to, as you like," the old man said.

Su Jing suddenly understood. The old man was being pursued because of this young wolf. A Lord-level monster's young one is a priceless treasure in the Devouring Starry Sky. When Luo Feng stole a Lord-level monster's iron dragon egg, he sold it for 50 billion. This young wolf might be a bit cheaper, but it wouldn't be much less, no wonder someone had greed.

"Boy, I will give you the young Battle Wolf, guide you to become a Psychic Master, and all the equipment on me, though a bit worn out, is also yours. However, I have two last wishes, I hope you can fulfill them," the old man said.

"What are your last wishes, sir?" Su Jing thought, indeed, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But even if the old man had selfish intentions, he had received benefits from him. If the wishes weren't too excessive, he could help fulfill them.

"First, avenge me by killing three people. Their information is in my backpack. Second, after I die, completely cremate my body. I don't want to feed any monsters," the old man said.
