Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye glanced at everyone.

“You guys feel a lot of pressure?”

“Yes!” The five said in unison.

“Mr. Gu, can you restrain yourself a little? We might get hurt again.”

Lin Qiye quickly focused.

“Sorry, I didn’t control myself well. My development rate is only 1%. I thought it would be fine.”

Lin Qiye smiled apologetically.

But when this sentence fell into the ears of the five, itwas like a bolt from the blue.

What kind of humble bragging was this?

Damn!

Just 1% of his development rate was enough to suppress a 100% SS-Grade genius like them, causing them to be terrified and unable to breathe.

The five people were embarrassed.

They looked at each other, and there was a bitter smile at the corner of their lips.

“We finally know what a monstrous genius is. It makes my spine tingle…”

In the face of everyone’s flattery, Lin Qiye was somewhat helpless.

“Alright, this incident has come to an end. This time, I owe you all a favor. In the future, if there is a need, I will help you solve the problem. Let me save your contact details.”

Lin Qiye took out his personal phone.

The few people were so shocked that they did not know what to do.

“Oh, Mr. Gu, you are too polite.”

“It is our honor to be able to help you!”

“For the country and the people, we are willing to die!”

Lin Qiye smiled.

“Come on, leave your contact details.”

Everyone looked at each other. In the end, their faces were glowing as they exchanged contact details with Lin Qiye.

When they looked at the contact information on their phones, theyfelt uneasy.

A favor from the one standing on top of the world!

How honored they are!

“Oh right, are you in a hurry to go back?” Lin Qiye suddenly asked.

“No, there’s no rush. We’ve explored this island. There’s a huge crystal vein that can temper one’s mental and train one’s willpower. It is the largest mine discovered in the world!”

“It can be used as a resource field!”

“We want to build a mine here. If we can continuously mine a large number of mental-tempering crystal ores, the combat strength of Awakened and our army will increase by around 10% .”

Everyone was excited.

“Moreover, this mine is unique. When we train here, the quality of our mental power will also increase!”

“We can even build a military academy here! Who knows? We might trigger a super talent to awaken a second time.”

“This place will be an important base for humanity in the future!”

Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement.

“Mr. Gu, you are the savior of Country Hua!”

Lin Qiye nodded slightly. “You flatter me. I also want to stay on this island for some time. However, I will let the ship leave before coming back to pick us up. We have to hide in the cave…”

“Mr. Gu, do you also want to train?”

“Yeah. On the other hand, I’m waiting for a demon. If it appears, I will get rid of it. If it is cunning and does not appear, we can only look for another opportunity in the future.”

Lin Qiye’s eyes burned.

“Then we will face the enemy together with Mr. Gu!”

Hence, the six of them stayed.

They only waited for half a month until all the supplies are used up.

There were no traces of the Painted-skin Demon.

Lin Qiye frowned.

“It seems that it won’t appear. It must have learned about the changes here through a special method.

“What is its talent? What is its ability? To control the rats or bats in a space? To devour? To control the mind? To possess? Or does it have all of them?”

Lin Qiye frowned deeply.

His intuition told him he would not succeed in ambushing the Painted-skin Demon this time.

Lin Qiye shook his head. “As expected of the Painted-skin Demon, it’s extremely mysterious!”

He sighed and waited for another two days to no avail.

Lin Qiye shook his head. “Let’s go back. The demon is too cautious. We can’t catch it.”

After saying that, Lin Qiye immediately returned with the group.

Back in Jiang City, the five people bid farewell to Lin Qiye outside the city.

“Mr. Gu, thank you for giving us such a great opportunity and bringing such a large mineral vein to the human race!” The five of them bowed deeply to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye shook his head. “It’s nothing. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.”

“No, this mineral vein is too important! It’s even normal for our higher-ups to kowtow to you.”

“Alright. There’s no need to kowtow.”

Lin Qiye waved his hand. “Quickly go back and report the good news.”

The five nodded and carried the good news as they quickly rushed toward Yanjing.

…

By the Emerald Lake, Lin Qiye returned home to the Gu family villa.

He found that Father and Mother Gu had gone to work.

Zhu Yuheng, Jiang Lianyi, and Gu He was all training diligently.

Lin Qiye did not disturb the three girls.

He quietly returned to his bedroom and slept.

When he woke up, itwas already the second night.

Lin Qiye opened his eyes and lay on the bed to count the rewards of this operation.

This time, not only did he destroy the Painted-skin Demon’s plan, but he also obtained the immortal level talent, Immortal Consciousness Soul, which made up for his lack of mental-type talent.

His strength has received a huge buff in all aspects!

At the same time, he also obtained quite many unexpected gains!

For example, Destroyer Guo Huai’s possession technique and the means of spirit control were all seized by him.

If he brought them back to the main world, it was at least a minor Immortal Technique level!

In short, the result of this operation was a huge profit!

After a summary, Lin Qiye fell into slumber once again.

After all, he had indeed exhausted much energy on the island.

He needed to recover for one or two days.

…

On the other side, on Sea Monster Island, the night was deep, and dark clouds covered the stars and moon. Even the starlight was absent, and the ocean was as black as ink.

A pitch-black seabird landed on the Sea Monster Island.

Black fog lingered.

It turned into a cloud of black smoke and floated into the trench.

“As expected, someone beat me to it. It was that person’s aura… the person that destroyed the trace I left in the Empress’s body! It made my efforts go down the drain!”

The black smoke condensed into a ferocious face.

“Damn it! Why Is it that b*stard everywhere?

“I thought I would have to wait to condense a special method to launch a sneak attack, but I didn’t expect this human to arrive so quickly. Moreover, he didn’t suffer heavy losses with this fellow!

“I was careless. I never thought he would be able to kill a mental-type powerhouse.”

The Painted-skin Demon was both shocked and angry.

“How many times has he ruined my plan?!

“I must kill him! I will devour all his abilities!”

The Painted-skin Demon’s face was filled with hatred. It roared madly in the depths of the cave.

It raged with resentment, but there was also a trace of fear.

It knew better than anyone else how powerful the Destroyer was.

However, Lin Qiye finished off the Destroyer.

Furthermore, from the traces on the island, there hadn’t been any fierce battle.

“If it were me, I would have to launch a sneak attack. My sneak attack would not be discovered by the mental-type powerhouse.

“But what was that b*stard relying on?”

The Painted-skin Demon was confused.

It knew Lin Qiye’s abilities.

With those abilities, he would definitely die at the hands of a mental-type powerhouse.

But the reality was that the Destroyerhadn’t even erupted before he was killed.

It meant that the human had used a strategy, or rather, the human male had some powerful combat strength.

As it thought of this, the Painted-skin Demon was a little shocked.

“It seems like he’s a formidable opponent! However, this guy is only five years old. How can he grow so fast?!

“He’s so fast that he caught me off guard!”

The Painted-skin Demon felt its scalp go numb.

“This won’t do. I must think of a way to get rid of him! If I don’t get rid of him, he’ll definitely become a huge threat!

“If I let him continue growing, he would probably kill all the targets I plan to devour. My future, my plans, will all be destroyed by him!”

The Painted-skin Demon’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

“But the key is that I don’t dare to face that fellow head-on with his current combat strength. Furthermore, his talent is extremely strange, and he has some restrictions on me!

“In addition to that, that fellow has now obtained a mental-type talent, which makes him even more difficult to deal with!”

The Painted-skin Demon felt its scalp go numb.

“What method can I use to deal with him?”

The demon fell into deep thought. Not long after, its eyes lit up.

“I got it! Hehe.”
