I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 151 A "Lu Bu"-like Character

Having been lucky enough to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator before, and with Su Wan's trust, Lin Yao was already somewhat well-known among the upper and middle ranks of the entire camp.

He gained attention simply because he didn't reveal his true strength and only presented himself as a reasonably talented young genius.

The investigation into Chen Shu was, in a sense, also to prevent Lin Yao from harboring resentment because of what he had previously said about his two teammates' greed for credit and recklessness that had put him in danger.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it was not difficult to get Chen Shu out of the previous interrogation, and it was just a formality.

Of course, while rescuing the person, Lin Yao did not waste the opportunity to accomplish this mission.

While going through the motions, I also learned about some of Chen Shu's abilities and the information about the strength he had displayed on the surface.

Looking at the relevant information in front of him, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, even though he was prepared.

Chen Shu was originally from the Eastern Divine Continent. In order to obtain better cultivation resources and conditions, he joined the Martial Alliance.

However, even if someone has good talent and their coming here has a good purpose, they are ultimately not related by blood and can only be considered a valuable tool.

Chen Shu was naturally aware of the Wu Family Alliance's ambiguous attitude towards him, so he strengthened his management capabilities.

With his talent and management skills, he has climbed to the middle level in the martial arts alliance and is no longer considered weak.

Based solely on the strength it displays, after using some special amplification methods, it can definitely unleash the power of a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator.

That is, the strength of the seventh level of the Golden Core stage.

If you add in some underhanded tricks, he would probably be considered a top expert even at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, which would be the strength of the eighth or ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.

It's even quite possible that they could reach the half-step Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Yao even considered abandoning the three A-level mission points and just killing it to see if he could get any more interesting loot.

However, after thinking about it, I finally gave up.

There's really no need to waste three A-level story points for uncertain gains.

Even if you have many means to back you up, once you expose too much of it, you are easily targeted by some people with ulterior motives.

There's really no need to let some petty gains affect your plans.

Moreover, those reincarnators who are willing to sacrifice their dignity and do everything they can to climb to this level certainly have plenty of ways to protect themselves.

There are likely some conceptual props, or props that are detached from space.

The other party was willing to pay the price of three A-level plot points mainly to maintain their status within the Dragon Origin Court.

Since it's impossible to eliminate this "Lu Bu" from the Blue Star version who recognizes godfathers everywhere without revealing one's ultimate trump card, it's better to maintain the state of "enemy in the open, me in the dark."

Therefore, Lin Yao didn't do anything shady and simply let Chen Shu prove that he had never colluded with any Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Heavenly Hidden Palace.

After settling things with Chen Shu according to the steps, Lin Yao went to Su Wan's side that same day.

"You mean that, in the midst of war, without some clear evidence, it is not advisable to detain such combat power for too long, lest other strong individuals become dissatisfied?"

Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Just go ahead and investigate. No one will dare to put pressure on you. It's just a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Your sister Su Wan can handle it..."

"No need, Sister Su Wan. It's just a suspicion. We should prioritize the overall situation and handle the matter and the case together. Your high-profile approach might yield some unexpected gains. If we do find anything, I'll come back to you..."

Lin Yao thought about it seriously for a while, then said with a serious expression.

"I see. You've thought this through quite thoroughly. I'll leave this matter to you then. Of course, you need to be careful, after all, it's a Golden Core Realm expert, which is quite a lot of pressure for you right now."

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Su Wan couldn't help but break into a hearty smile.

This is also the subtle change that allowed Lin Yao, who outwardly only possessed the strength of the late-stage Qi Refining Realm, to dare to wield his blade against a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and even kill him.

In Su Wan's eyes now, Lin Yao is not only the Lin Yao brother that Chu Yue'er cares about, and the junior she cares about because of her love for Chu Yue'er, but also a young man worth investing in for the future.

Therefore, she would carefully consider Lin Yao's words and was filled with anticipation.

"You've done a great service, and as the saying goes, those who have made contributions should be rewarded. You can name the reward you want, and as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll help you get it."

After discussing Chen Shu's matter, Su Wan then mentioned the reward for eliminating a crisis without even realizing it, which stirred Lin Yao's interest.

Based on what they had gained with Chu Yue'er before, such as the Golden Crow Fire and the Prison-Suppressing Demon Body, the latter was incomparable to what they had obtained after the mission ended.

Converting them directly into corresponding items within the mission space is definitely more cost-effective than converting them into story points and reincarnation points.

Lin Yao understood that at this point, it was necessary to convert the task into something more tangible in order to maximize the rewards.

Especially after Su Wan asked, Lin Yao naturally wanted to try and gain some advantage...
