Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 624: Generous Actions (Subscription Requested)

When asked this question, Shang Yong's face showed an embarrassed expression. Finally, under Pei Yan's encouragement, he slowly opened up: "My talent is not very good. I haven't been able to feel the call of the name during the awakening breakthrough. Most of my peers have reached the fourth level of awakening, and the more capable ones have already reached the fifth level. Only I am still lingering at the second level of awakening without any progress."

After hearing this, Pei Yan first approached and pressed his shoulder to check his physical condition with source energy. Then, he turned his head to Gu Shenghui, activating the translation device to ask in the Demon Race language: "How is his character?"

"If he had character issues, I wouldn't bring him to see you, causing you unnecessary sadness. We investigated; he is honest and simple-hearted, with a son and daughter in his family. Previously running long-distance hauls, his family was harmonious, considered a good man by others. Moreover, during his time in the hall, he has been very active in training, taking great care of the younger generation. It's just a pity that his talent is a bit lacking, and he has been unable to break through. That's why I brought him to see you." Gu Shenghui sighed and said, "If he cannot break through soon, we will have to take him out of the training space. There is a time difference between here and the outside world. If he cannot break through his physical limits to increase his lifespan, it would be equivalent to indirectly murdering him."

Pei Yan nodded at these words and switched to Mandarin with self-deprecation: "What talent is there to speak of? Is my talent that good? Wasn't it the powerful ability granted to me when Lin Junzhao chose me that was built with resources!" Saying this, he looked at Shang Yong and said, "If the hall can pile resources to establish someone like me, I can build another Shangxing. Uncle, can you endure hardship?"

"I can. Those who run long-distance hauls can endure hardship." Although Shang Yong didn't know what the two were whispering about just now, the higher-ups had talked to him that if he didn't make progress, he would be removed from this training camp and only be a low-level agent in the future, with the benefits and treatment of his family diminished. And the young man before him, who split two mountains in one stroke, was his life's turning point. He must seize it.

"I'm not talking about that kind of hardship; it's about intense physical pain."

Shang Yong was stunned at the words, then gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "That too!"

Pei Yan looked at him with an expression of approval in his eyes: "Your ability previously belonged to a hero. To me, he was both a mentor and a friend. Since heaven gave me the chance to see the inheritance of his superpower again, I will never let it remain obscure and unknown among people. Someday, I hope you can become renowned across the four realms, telling the world that there was once a superpower user named Shangxing."

"Shangxing, I've seen his name on the hero wall. Rest assured, as long as I have the opportunity, I will never let these skills go to waste." Shang Yong clenched his fists, his eyes red, promising earnestly.

"Good! Close your eyes, sit cross-legged, and do not resist my origin flow. No matter what kind of pain your body endures, do not struggle." After saying this, Pei Yan placed his hand on top of Shang Yong's head, who sat on the ground according to his instructions. For him, with the current power of the Six Paths, converting origin energy was a piece of cake. It took less than ten minutes to complete the transformation from Dao energy to origin body.

Seeing Shang Yong, who was supporting himself on the ground with both hands, exhausted but full of joy after the conversion, Pei Yan smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I've reached the third level! I finally broke through to the third level! Captain Pei, Captain Pei, thank you..." Unable to break through for so long, today, with Pei Yan's help, Shang Yong finally took that crucial step into the third-level awakening. He was so excited that he wanted to stand up to express his gratitude to Pei Yan, but his body's soreness made him stagger halfway and fall back again.

Pei Yan went up and supported him, instructing: "No need for formalities now. Just sit here and rest. This is the aftereffect of converting origin; it feels like having died once. Without half a day, you won't recover. You've done well, not uttering a sound during the whole process, unlike Kong Lin and Jiang Feiyang at their conversion, which was full of wailing."

After helping Shang Yong sit properly, Pei Yan gently touched his ring and took out a small cloth bag, handing it to Shang Yong, and continued instructing: "Inside are ten fragments of origin energy."

After saying this, he looked back at the shocked face of Gu Shenghui and asked: "Is there a space for training origin superpower users from our world here? And who from my team stayed behind?"

Gu Shenghui, recovering from astonishment, understood Pei Yan's intention and hurriedly said: "Of course, there is a specially designed independent space for the Elite Squad; only you all went to the Hell Plane for actual combat later. This time, Captain Hu from your team stayed behind."

Hearing that Hu Wenjun stayed behind, Pei Yan's eyes revealed a complex emotion of intertwined joy and melancholy. The joy was that Instructor Hu didn't have to venture to another plane with him, and the melancholy was that this made Instructor Hu himself feel difficult as his superpower was too singular to keep up with the first-class echelon. Thinking this, Pei Yan took another cloth bag from his pack and threw it to Gu Shenghui, saying: "This, please pass it on to Instructor Hu for me."

After saying this, he looked at Shang Yong and said: "Old Shang, in a few days, an Instructor Hu will conduct special training on you. He was my instructor before and is a very good person; he will give you the help you need. And I believe you two will get along well once you meet."

"Also, keep the things I gave you in the cloth bag well. Instructor Hu will teach you how to use it when the time comes. Just absorb one piece a month. I believe that when I see you again, your strength will have soared."

Shang Yong didn't know what the heavy things in the cloth bag were, but seeing Director Gu's surprised expression, he could guess it must be something precious. Looking at Pei Yan again, his nose couldn't help but sour, his eyes moist, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Captain Pei, rest assured, I will not let down your heartfelt intentions today."

Pei Yan nodded with satisfaction and, after discussing some cultivation issues with Shang Yong, got up to say goodbye and walked out with Gu Shenghui.

After the two left the training space and came to a deserted place, Gu Shenghui weighed the small cloth bag in his hand with a look of astonishment: "How many origin fragments did you scrape from Lin Junzhao these two years? You're quite generous, giving out twenty fragments at once; is she back to her peak strength?"

"Who told you these origin fragments were extorted from Lin Junzhao's body?" Pei Yan turned his head, looking at Gu Shenghui with an almost sarcastic expression.

"Where did you get them then? Did you condense them yourself?" Gu Shenghui widened his eyes in disbelief.

Pei Yan shrugged, making a very relaxed expression: "These aren't law fragments; they are merely energy fragments. To put it bluntly, these fragments are products of origin energy compressed and condensed. I've fought many battles big and small in these years, absorbing as much of the Red Catastrophe's origin as I needed. But my realm has been suppressed at the peak of the sixth level without breaking through to the seventh. How do you think I did it?"
