Lin Ran was a little surprised:
“So that means Sister Miao came to save us?”
Lin Miao rolled her eyes:
“Nonsense, why else would I be in Black Dragon Abyss? For a picnic?”
“And because I came quickly enough, I happened to meet Commander Du on the way, which is why I rushed over in one go.”
Luo Qingyan’s complexion finally improved significantly after receiving Lin Miao’s energy.
Just now, with her magic already depleted, she had cast seven buffs on Lin Ran in succession, including a powerful Saint-tier buff, and was severely overdrawn.
Now her magic and stamina had recovered a lot, only her mental power was slightly lacking.
However, since Lin Ran was still holding her, Luo Qingyan was happy to continue lying comfortably in his arms without moving.
She said with a giggle:
“Sister Miao is so thoughtful…”
“But, those foreign races have all been killed by us, there’s no need to be so nervous.”
Lin Miao’s eyes showed extreme surprise:
“What? Killed by you all?!”
Before Luo Qingyan could answer, Du Jun, who was nearby, walked over and saluted Lin Ran, who was holding Luo Qingyan:
“Please allow me, on behalf of the First Army of Qing Jing, to pay respects to the two heroes of Black Dragon Abyss!”
“If not for the two of you during the unrest in Black Dragon Abyss, it would truly have been a river of blood.”
“And the elite 358th Regiment would have been annihilated.”
“As for the subsequent repercussions, they would have been immeasurable.”
“For example, after occupying the Black Dragon Abyss armed fortress, setting up more teleportation arrays to transport more foreign races to attack the city…”
“I will certainly submit your contributions to the Dragon Country’s Highest Council and apply for commendations for you!”
Lin Ran smiled:
“Commander Du is too kind.”
“Assisting in the defense of the armed fortress is what a citizen of Dragon Country should do.”
“As for commendations and such…”
Du Jun’s expression turned serious:
“Including military merits, these are all rightfully yours.”
“Yun Fei has informed me of all the details, and you absolutely deserve the title of heroes.”
“Two men repelling ten thousand troops, one general beheading the enemy chief…”
“Your glorious deeds of bravery and fearlessness should be known by the people!”
Lin Miao was even more surprised:
“Two men repelling ten thousand troops, one general beheading the enemy chief?”
“You… you’ve gotten this powerful already?”
“But Commander Du told me earlier that even the low-level soldiers among the attacking foreign races were at least Tier Two or Three, let alone the commanders.”
“Their commander must have been Tier Five at least?!”
For a moment, she was somewhat dazed by the unreality of it all.
Lin Ran shook his head:
“It’s not that exaggerated…”
“The part about two men repelling ten thousand troops is true, as for one general beheading the enemy chief… that…”
“There is a reason why I was able to instantly kill the commander who was around Tier Five.”
“Firstly, I wasn’t fighting alone. The buffs Qingyan provided were crucial, almost doubling my output.”
“This is precisely why she fell into a state of weakness.”
“And that commander only reached Tier Five in actual combat strength, and had quite a few weaknesses.”
“For example, his lack of understanding of my abilities, his fragility as an archer, his arrogance in looking down on us, and the fact that his griffon was secretly controlled by me, etc., etc.”
“Counting him and the griffon together, he could be considered Tier Five.”
“If it were just him alone, he would only be peak Tier Four…”
“In fact, it was just average.”
Lin Miao’s stunned mind latched onto the key points in Lin Ran’s words:
“Two men repelling ten thousand troops is true…”
“Instantly killed a commander of around Tier Five…”
“Peak Tier Four is just average…”
Lin Miao felt her worldview had been severely shaken.
The term "prodigy son" they used to describe Lin Ran often seemed insufficient for him now.
Seeing Lin Miao’s dumbfounded look, Luo Qingyan was amused and quickly pulled at Lin Miao, saying:
“Sister Miao, close your mouth, let’s go back first.”
“Lin Ran and I have both consumed a lot of mental power and are very tired now.”
“I really want to rest.”
Hearing Luo Qingyan’s words, Du Jun smiled from the side:
“That’s right, we can’t let the two heroes stand here like we’re interrogating them…”
“Come, get in my military vehicle! I’ll take you back to Yan Da!”
“We can have a good chat on the way too…”
…
Qing Jing.
Yan Yun University.
For the past two days, the school had been completely ignited by Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan.
The Black Dragon Abyss hero medals personally awarded by the Dragon Country’s government in conjunction with the Dragon Country’s military, the martial world rumors of two men repelling ten thousand troops and one general beheading the enemy chief, the three terrifying sword marks at the entrance of Black Dragon Abyss, each more terrifying than the last, the world-shattering sword strike that instantly killed the foreign race commander…
Every topic of discussion could only be described as explosive.
Even in the outside world, the popularity was not low.
People marveled and sighed, thinking that Dragon Country had two more peerless geniuses who were rising with an unstoppable momentum.
Meanwhile, Lin Ran, who had become the center of public opinion, was comfortably soaking in a bath in his villa.
How pleasant it was…
The gains from this trip to Black Dragon Abyss were simply immeasurable.
Just the prize money jointly issued by the Dragon Country’s government and military district was a full five hundred million Dragon Coins for each of them.
Combined with the selling price of various materials obtained earlier, Lin Ran’s net worth had almost reached one billion Dragon Coins.
As for other things, they were also quite terrifying.
[Name: Lin Ran]
[Gender: Male]
[Current Identity: Citizen of Dragon Country, Special Student of Qing Jing Yan Yun University Class of 3077]
[Identity Code: 306002290000835671]/
[Awakener Rank: One]
[Combat Power: 8790]
[Executor Level: A]
[Military Rank: Sergeant Major Third Class]
[Hunting Points: 23768.5]
[Military Merit Points: 17456.8]
It could be said that everything on his status panel had been sublimated to a monstrous degree.
The consecutive intense battles, combined with high-grade gene modification fluid, had caused Lin Ran’s combat power to surge by about 2000 points.
And due to the terrifying combat record in Black Dragon Abyss, the mission system had directly promoted Lin Ran’s executor level from F all the way to A.
An Awakener of Tier One possessing an A-level executor level would truly shock many if it were revealed…
His military rank had also jumped three levels due to his outstanding military contributions, bypassing Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant Second Class, and Staff Sergeant First Class, to reach Sergeant Major Third Class.
Hunting points and military merit points had also exploded due to the frenzied slaughter during that period.
After all, the number of foreign races and ferocious beasts that had died at Lin Ran’s hands was simply uncountable.
The final Dark Elf commander Kadan, who had almost reached Tier Five, had provided the two of them with a large amount of military merit points.
