Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 515 - 251: Unique Arctic Customs, the Ghost Hunting Ground!
As soon as the name was mentioned.
The figures who were gazing into the distance from the railing seemed to tense their shoulders almost imperceptibly.
Although they still did not turn around, the intense, cautious feeling spread through the air like unseen ripples.
The Federation’s top assassin!
The weight of this title is not to be taken lightly.
To earn such a fearsome reputation amidst the grinder of the Arctic Front, the means, Power, and mentality required to do so would chill anyone’s heart.
Yet a greater doubt arose in Fang Qingyu’s mind.
Why would such a person be the City Lord of Glazed Light City?
And why was Yan Shouzheng so secretive about it, only telling them they would understand once they arrived?
Simply having an intimidating reputation didn’t seem enough to explain Pavilion Master Yan’s silence.
Su Wanqing evidently caught a deeper confusion in Fang Qingyu’s eyes, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her teasing smile, as she lowered her voice as if sharing an untold secret:
"City Lord Jiang’s tastes... are quite peculiar."
Fang Qingyu furrowed his brow slightly, "Peculiar?"
Su Wanqing didn’t say more, instead naturally taking out her phone, tapping quickly on the screen with slender fingers, and then turning the screen toward Fang Qingyu.
The light from the screen reflected in his Melted Gold eyes, clearly showing a small line of text:
She prefers girls.
The expression on Fang Qingyu’s face froze instantly.
Though he had weathered countless storms, his mind as resilient as iron, this straightforward and somewhat absurd information struck him dumb.
The City Lord of Glazed Light City, the Federation’s top assassin... with a preference for women?
This massive contrast left Fang Qingyu momentarily at a loss for how to react.
Instinctively, he asked another question.
"How old is she now?"
Su Wanqing put away her phone, as if she had just sent a trivial message.
She turned her gaze back to the vast sea, her elegant fingers gently supporting her smooth chin, posing as though in thought, a few strands of hair blown across her cheeks by the sea breeze.
"Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, she stretched out four slim fingers and waved them slightly, "Forty, I think? But..."
She changed the topic, her eyes filled with pure admiration for genius.
"She reached the Martial Saint Realm at age twenty-nine. So, her appearance has remained frozen at that peak, the most beautiful time."
Twenty-nine! Martial Saint!
Fang Qingyu’s pupils contracted abruptly, like the point of a needle.
The impact of these four words was much stronger, more penetrating than the earlier "preference."
A Martial Saint at twenty-nine.
What does this signify?
It signifies unmatched Talent and an almost unnatural understanding of the way of Martial Arts.
Throughout Federation history, there have been very few who could touch the threshold of a Tier Three Martial Saint before thirty, each one a legend illuminating their era.
Watching the roaring waves of shock in Fang Qingyu’s eyes, Su Wanqing nodded understandingly, "Impressive, isn’t it? Moreover..." She paused, lowering her voice with a hint of mystery, "There’s a rumor she might already be Tier Four. However, her Power has always been a mystery; no one can truly understand it. She rarely fights with full strength, but each time she does, the results leave people speechless."
Tier Four... 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Fang Qingyu’s heart shuddered once more.
This is beyond the scope of what he could clearly comprehend at present.
The current Tier Three Martial Saint is already a symbol of the Peak of human Martial Arts.
As for information on Tier Four.
Fang Qingyu knows almost nothing.
After the shock, a more crucial question arose.
Fang Qingyu tried hard to suppress the two bits of information about the "twenty-nine-year-old Martial Saint" and "preference for girls," turning his sharp gaze to Su Wanqing:
"Then how did she earn the title of ’Federation’s top assassin’?"
A City Lord, a suspected Tier Four super powerhouse, why would they be associated with the identity of an ’assassin,’ someone who walks in the shadows?
This is too contradictory.
Su Wanqing’s relaxed expression also became somewhat restrained, her gaze growing serious.
"Because she really has been an assassin."
Su Wanqing’s voice was calm, yet each word clear, "And she killed quite extraordinary targets."
"The most sensational incident was when she ventured alone into the depths of the Extreme North Ice Field, targeting a ’Life Ghost’ of Abyssal Level Peak, the ’Frost Silence Lord,’ near the ’Wailing Ice Abyss.’ That Life Ghost’s Power was nearly integrated with that icy death zone, commanding a massive army of Life Ghosts. It was one of the major threats to the front line. The Federation organized several large-scale sieges, all ending in failure with heavy losses."
Su Wanqing’s tone carried a tinge of imperceptible awe.
"No one knows exactly how she achieved it. All that’s known is she disappeared for a full month. A month later, just as the Federation’s upper echelons were about to lose hope, she returned. What she brought back was a fragment of the ’Eternal Frozen Soul Crystal,’ the core of that ’Frost Silence Lord.’ That Abyssal Level Peak Life Ghost, which struck fear in countless hearts, was utterly destroyed. And she returned unscathed."
Fang Qingyu’s breathing hitched for a moment.
To infiltrate the heart of the Extreme North Ice Field, where Life Ghosts occupied, and assassinate a terrifying being equivalent to the human Peak of Third Tier?
The peril involved is mind-numbingly terrifying just to imagine.
This cannot be accomplished by Power alone; it requires unimaginable patience, stealth tactics, precise timing, and a heart frozen to the extreme.
"This isn’t all," Su Wanqing continued, her voice lighter yet heavier, "There are also unverified rumors that can’t be confirmed, yet have never been effectively refuted. It’s said she’s purged more than one Tier Three powerhouse who betrayed humanity and sided with the Life Ghosts, and even some suspected reincarnated Gods, but those in extremely dangerous positions that could threaten humanity greatly."
