Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 448 - 305: Heavy Return_2

"Okay, I’ll wait for you." Zhao Manying hung up the phone.

Ji Xinghuo stared at the empty screen, somewhat dazed. Manying still seemed to consider herself his girlfriend, completely unaffected by their year apart.

At least, that’s how it appeared on the surface.

"Sigh..."

Ji Xinghuo felt conflicted and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Just as he was about to continue contacting his family, he turned his head and saw the Swordsman and two Legends in the cabin all staring at him intently, their expressions a mix of perplexity, shock, and envy.

"So you are Ji Xinghuo!" the captain of the Sword Team exclaimed.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He realized that these swordsmen all had something to say, likely fans of Zhao Manying or something similar, a situation all too common and not worth further explanation.

Considering there were others around, Ji Xinghuo sent a message in the family group to check in and then turned off his phone, sitting quietly with his eyes closed to rest.

The Sky Fighter was extremely fast, reaching speeds up to Mach 3.

In less than an hour, he had arrived at Chang’an, and Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power had also recovered to its peak.

The Sky Fighter flew into the Qinling Mountain Range and opened the aft hatch. Ji Xinghuo nodded to everyone in the cabin as a thanks before turning and jumping down.

Boom! freeweɓnovel.cøm

With a sound explosion, Ji Xinghuo broke the sound barrier and disappeared into the distance, leaving a white streak behind.

Half a minute later,

he flew over the base, slowed down as he dived through an open entrance, rapidly descended through the tunnel, and landed on a metal platform with a loud thud, as if something heavy had hit the ground.

Zhou Yishang stood a few meters away, watching him land, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Commander Zhou."

Ji Xinghuo’s gaze swept past Zhou Yishang to the people behind him, Min Chongwu, Ling Yufei, and another "old acquaintance," Yan Xiao.

He paused on Yan Xiao.

This Evil Wind Guest was severely injured by him last year, had recovered for a few months, and was then reassigned back to the Qinling Base.

Yan Xiao, sensing Ji Xinghuo’s gaze, involuntarily shuddered as if wanting to move away but quickly remembered there were others around. Unable to afford losing face, his expression fluctuated helplessly.

Ji Xinghuo chuckled inwardly but said nothing.

"It’s been over a year, and your strength has increased so rapidly," Zhou Yishang said earnestly as he looked over Ji Xinghuo, shaking his head in amazement, "What rank are you now?"

"Super Mutant," Ji Xinghuo replied.

Hearing his answer, everyone present looked as if they had seen a ghost.

On Ji Xinghuo’s journey back to the base, the Sword Bureau had already cleared up the situation. His journey from the Star Realm back to the country had been nothing short of thrilling.

Not only did he burst through the Star Gate under the watchful eyes of many Heavenly Kings and Legends, but he also escaped the Bhopal Star Gate Fortress, resisted the South Asia Alliance’s air defense system, and flew into the nation in just over 20 minutes without a scratch.

This series of feats was comparable to a Heavenly King. Even if Ji Xinghuo had claimed to be a Legend, they wouldn’t have been so surprised.

But he was actually a Super Mutant!

In Earth’s history, many prodigies were capable of challenging ranks above theirs, even defeating higher ranks, but usually only by one rank and mostly below the level of Legend.

It was no wonder that a Super Mutant’s strength surpassed a Legend’s.

The top few dozen in the ladder ranking might be able to do so.

However, for a Super Mutant to possess strength comparable to a Heavenly King was completely outside everyone’s understanding.

The few people present knew Ji Xinghuo best; it had been less than three years since he became a Mutant.

In just three years, he had stood out from the billions of ordinary humans on Earth to join the ranks of the top 100 strongest globally!

This was absolutely an unprecedented miracle.

"You..." Min Chongwu, who was usually nonchalant, had an indescribable expression on his face now, a complicated mix of emotions.

Ling Yufei’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Yan Xiao kept his head low, not daring to meet Ji Xinghuo’s eyes, completely extinguishing that last flicker of vengeance in his heart.

Zhou Yishang himself was momentarily dumbstruck and then sternly said, "Come with me."

Only then did the others remember their official business, and they all followed Zhou Yishang into the conference room, where the screen was broadcasting the news live.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at it.

The Prime Minister of the Indi Kingdom had summoned the ambassador of the Asia-Pacific Community through diplomatic channels, expressing strong discontent and demanding the handover of the "suspect" who posed a threat to the security of the South Asia Alliance countries, which was himself.

The wordings in the press release were very harsh, amounting to a significant diplomatic uproar.

"This has blown up big," Min Chongwu exclaimed in surprise.

"Forcefully breaking through the Star Gate, breaching the air defense system, how could it not be big?" Ling Yufei said, "Ji Xinghuo’s ability to penetrate their air defense implies he could potentially deliver nuclear weapons to their intended targets, indeed posing a threat to national security."

As the person involved, Ji Xinghuo himself didn’t care.

"It’s just a protest from the Indi Kingdom," he smiled, "It’s not a joint declaration from the South Asia Alliance."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The South Asia Alliance has seven member states, but only three are truly significant: the Indi Kingdom, the Dalovida Republic, and the Bangladesh Federation.

Due to complex historical and religious reasons, although once a single country, these three nations are hostile towards each other, each aiming to overthrow and annex the others, with constant friction and conflicts. They only formed an alliance to resist a stronger external foe and manage the Star Gate together.

The so-called "external foe" referred to the Asia-Pacific Community.

However, the Asia-Pacific Community never regarded the South Asia Alliance as a threat or a strategic adversary.

"Leave diplomatic matters to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we don’t need to worry about it," Zhou Yishang tapped on the conference room table, refocusing everyone’s attention.

He looked at Ji Xinghuo, "What exactly happened then?"

"When I returned to Earth this time, at the Star Gate..."

Ji Xinghuo described the incident in detail, merely stating facts but not sharing his own speculation or mentioning Shen Yucheng.

Zhou Yishang immediately perceived the root of the issue.

"That female swordsman, what did she look like?" he asked sternly, "Someone must have instructed her to scrutinize you, find out immediately."

Ji Xinghuo described her briefly.

It took only half a minute for the Sword Team’s information officers to send the data over.

A photo appeared on the screen, it was that female swordsman.

Her name was "Feng Jiao," a legendary swordsman under the Sword Realm Army of the Star Realm Department, holding the rank of colonel, who had been on rotation at the Olympia Star Gate two months prior.

After looking through, Ji Xinghuo said, "I want information on all personnel currently stationed at the Star Gate."

Zhou Yishang immediately ordered it done.

The Sword Bureau had authority equivalent to that of the Star Realm Department and could access data without applying for it. The information soon appeared on the screen.

Ji Xinghuo quickly scrolled through, the data refreshing on the screen like a waterfall, making it unclear for others to see.

Suddenly, the screen stopped.

It displayed another person’s data, also a legendary figure in the Star Realm Army, named "Su Qingqiu," holding the rank of Vice Admiral, serving as the Deputy Commander in the Star Realm Army, Legendary Second Dan, ranked 35th on the legendary list!

Ji Xinghuo stared at the photo of Su Qingqiu.

This individual was the legendary figure who had first spotted him from the watchtower.

Initially thought to be just an ordinary legendary, it turned out he held such a high and powerful position!

Vice Commander of the Star Realm Army.

This level belonged to the top big shots in the Asia-Pacific Community, and moreover, Su Qingqiu’s professional template was very special.

He was a "Commander."

This profession was an advancement from Commander and Mind Hacker.

"Commander" gains strength amplification from teammates and subordinates, and every country’s military specifically nurtures officers to follow the path of "Commander."

"Mind Hacker" needs no explanation, this profession was glorified by the leader Ji Daosheng, holding a special status in the Asia-Pacific Community.

An advancement of the two professional templates results in a Commander.

Every Commander is a born leader, just as the name implies, they are leaders in the military.

Even if currently not high in rank, becoming a "Commander" signifies a bright future, almost guaranteed to rise to the military’s top echelon and stand at the nation’s power pyramid’s apex, as long as one does not die.

And now, this Commander was using his power at the Star Gate to act against him.

Ji Xinghuo had a grim expression.

The others in the conference room, looking at Su Qingqiu’s data, also realized some unpleasant speculations, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

"Director Zhou." Ji Xinghuo looked at Zhou Yishang.

Zhou Yishang immediately understood and told the others, "You all, leave."
