Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 769 - 741 Catastrophe

"A mission has arose! Return immediately!"

Nidhogg had actually issued a mission.

Thinking about it, it seemed that Nidhogg hadn’t issued a mission for quite a long time.

Although Lin Tian did not have to stay within Nidhogg on normal days, when there was a mission, it must take priority.

Lin Tian hurriedly explained to his wives that he had an important matter to attend to, and then he turned around and headed straight to Nidhogg.

Upon arriving at Nidhogg, he saw Li Chong and Xiahou Qingyi.

To Lin Tian’s surprise, the two of them had both become Mirror Breaking masters, advancing half a rank together.

The two of them specially came to meet Lin Tian, and then they told him that the Dragon Emperor was looking for him.

As the three of them walked, Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong discussed the recent situation within Nidhogg.

Clearly, Nidhogg was planning a major move, starting with recruiting a batch of people. Some of these people were previously assassins, who normally would not qualify to enter Nidhogg, but this time, they had all been recruited, or rather, forced into joining.

There were also some scout troops, even though they did not possess superpowers and their strength was just at the Mirror Breaking Cultivation level, they too had been recruited.

Now, the number of members inside Nidhogg had more than doubled, reaching over a thousand people. The group was a mix of special forces, assassins, and mercenaries, which the Dragon Emperor was urgently organizing, striving to train them into qualified Nidhogg warriors.

Nidhogg would not recruit people without reason, even assassins were being recruited, and some were even forcefully brought in. It seemed a great battle was about to occur.

Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong led Lin Tian to a room, telling him that the Dragon Emperor was inside, waiting for him.

Lin Tian knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Enter."

"Dragon Emperor, you wanted to see me," Lin Tian said.

The Dragon Emperor said, "We’ve recruited many new people into Nidhogg, some are just at the level of special forces. I will gather them immediately. First, use your Ability Stone to help them awaken their superpowers. At seven o’clock tonight, go meet the old chief. The old chief has something very important to discuss with you."

Seeing the serious look on the Dragon Emperor’s face, Lin Tian put away any underestimation he might have had. He nodded earnestly, took out the Ability Stone, and left.

Of the new recruits, about six hundred, less than a hundred possessed superpowers, but they still hoped to use the Ability Stone to stimulate them, in case there were dual superpowers hidden in their bodies.

The Ability Stone was a master-recognizing item; only Lin Tian’s superpower could activate the energy inside, and moreover, it required his blood to provoke the energy within the stone.

A single drop of blood was enough, but with over six hundred people, the amount of blood needed was not small.

Lin Tian directly drew his own blood, filling a whole mineral water bottle, then took out a cotton swab, dipped it in the blood, and applied it to the Ability Stone. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The first person, a Mirror Breaking master who was formerly an assassin, looked rather ruthless. However, having been trained by the Dragon Emperor for a while, he had lost his murderous aura and had been smoothed down.

He already possessed one type of superpower but still wanted to use the stone’s power to awaken another one.

As Lin Tian’s drop of blood fell on the Ability Stone, it emitted light, enveloping the Mirror Breaking master. The master was excited, but ultimately, the result was disappointing.

He did not awaken another superpower.

"Having one superpower is already one in ten thousand. Keep it up!"

Lin Tian made a polite remark, and then moved on to the next one.

This was a member of the special forces, an all-around talent within the scout troops, and he was very proud to be selected for Nidhogg.

After being stimulated by the Ability Stone, he awakened a Fire Element superpower.

"Very good, keep it up," he said.

...

It took a whole afternoon, but Lin Tian finally stimulated over six hundred people with the Ability Stone. Over two hundred of them awakened their superpowers, while the remaining four hundred must cultivate the Cultivation Technique to enhance their abilities. However, the cultivation techniques are rare; their future path depends on their own efforts and the arrangements of the Dragon Emperor.

At seven in the evening, after dinner, Lin Tian arrived at the old chief’s door.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Lin Tian knocked on the old chief’s door.

"Come in!"

Lin Tian pushed the door and entered. Inside were two figures, one was the old chief, and the other was the Dragon Emperor.

It seemed they were waiting for Lin Tian.

"Old chief, Dragon Emperor," Lin Tian bowed in respect.

The old chief turned his head and smiled at Lin Tian, his eyes showing a hint of doting affection.

It was a look of hope for him to succeed greatly.

The old chief spoke, "Today, I have an important task to entrust to you. It will be a long process to complete this task. It is very challenging and concerns the lives of millions of people."

Lin Tian stood at attention and responded very solemnly, "Please speak, old chief. I will do my utmost to complete it, willing to die a thousand times if necessary."

The old chief nodded and looked towards the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor began, "Currently in Huaxia, although there is no warfare and it seems peaceful, hidden assassination threats exist. Even a slight misstep could lead to the annihilation of our nation."

"Annihilation."

Lin Tian was shocked upon hearing these words.

Huaxia was already a powerful nation; how could there still be a danger of annihilation now?

The Dragon Emperor continued.

"Hostile powerful nations cannot harm Huaxia, but now, Huaxia is facing an invasion from different races."

"Different races?"

This was the first time Lin Tian had heard these words.

But soon, he realized – the Eagle People, the Werewolves, surely they were from a different race!

The Dragon Emperor continued, "The different race and the Human Race harbor age-old, deep-seated enmities. If the Human Race is strong, the different race will be exterminated; if the Human Race declines, the different race will compete for dominance!"

"Now, after thousands of years in hiding, the different race has once again emerged from the deep mountains and valleys. Their aim is to annihilate the Human Race."

"In recent days, various groups of the different races have started to move, massively slaughtering innocent humans in large-scale bloodshed events, all caused by them. However, the authorities have deliberately concealed these events involving the different races to avoid unnecessary panic."

Lin Tian spoke, "I just came back from Cang Hai City, where a few Werewolves and Eagle People were spotted. They are very strong; members of the different race of the same cultivation level are much stronger than humans. I had a fierce battle with them; it was a draw, and it nearly cost me my life."

The Dragon Emperor nodded.

"That’s exactly it, in single combat, humans absolutely cannot defeat the different race, but humans have an advantage in numbers. However, in recent years, with the advancement of technology, people have gradually abandoned the practice of Martial Arts, making them relatively weak. Thus, this move by the different race is a catastrophe for humans, and it’s uncertain who will survive this ordeal."
