Ye Xuan would not judge whether Wang Quan Baye's decision to venture Outside the Circle when he was young was correct, but if it were him, without the strength to surpass the Demon Emperors within The Circle, he would never place himself in an unknown and dangerous environment.
After Ye Xuan logged off, Su Mengyao, having closed her Mobile Phone, still found it somewhat difficult to accept.
She even harbored some doubt that even without the Wang Quan Baye Template, Ye Xuan's inherent Sword Dao Talent alone would be enough for him to become a top-tier powerhouse in the Future.
Relying on comprehending the Wang Quan Sword Intent himself? Was that something a Human could achieve?
Wang Quan Baye, Wang Quan Wumu, and Wang Quan Fugui at least had the Wang Quan Sword as a reference; you have nothing.
It's not like you can trace back from the Wang Quan Sword techniques and the Heaven and Earth One Sword carried by the Template to comprehend the Wang Quan Sword Intent, right?
Also, aren't you a student? Why are you working so hard on cultivation?
Don't you play games? Don't you watch Anime?
Don't you have any recreational activities at all?
And what was that last thing you said, "With only this much strength, it is far from enough to protect yourself in this current era"? What the heck was that?
Currently, among Humans, only Elder Zhong, who obtained the Geo Archon Template, is stronger than you, right?
That is a Deity's Template; you are currently the undisputed number one person below the Deities.
If this level of strength is not enough for you to protect yourself, what strength would be?
You aren't planning on surpassing Elder Zhong, are you?
"Is this the true youthful arrogance, full of spirit and vigor."
"I finally understand why you were able to obtain the Wang Quan Baye Template."
"Perhaps, you are the self that Wang Quan Baye missed and yearned for the most after returning from Outside the Circle."
Su Mengyao shook her head, but a hint of a smile appeared on her face.
For her, the stronger Ye Xuan's Talent was and the faster his strength improved, the greater her benefits would be; the Tianshu Bureau was not a place where one could simply join by being an Awakened Ability User or possessing Treasures of the Heavens, nor did it grant them the qualification to cooperate with them.
Talent, potential, character, and value!
They needed to consider from all aspects whether the other party was qualified to join the Tianshu Bureau.
As one of the leaders of the Tianshu Bureau, the invitation Quotas she held were few; if the Compatibility and judgment of the Ability Users and Treasures of the Heavens holders she signed a Contract with in the Future fell far short of their projections, she would also be held responsible.
But conversely, if the Ability Users and Treasures of the Heavens holders she contracted with exhibited a speed of growth far exceeding her initial expectations, she would also receive various resources for "advancement," allowing her to reach higher levels.
Her original plan was to report Ye Xuan's progress in strength to her superiors after he increased the Compatibility of the Wang Quan Baye Template a bit more, and then apply for more resources for Ye Xuan; but now it seemed she could start preparing earlier.
"Oh right, some beasts in the Hangzhou Nature Reserve have undergone Mutation and have already been sealed off by us."
"Although it hasn't been launched in the mission function yet, if you are interested, you can go to the Hangzhou Nature Reserve to hunt later."
"But be careful not to hunt too many."
"Mutated Creatures are also a form of resource nowadays."
"I have enabled the access for you; you can go directly then, and someone will be there to meet you."
Afterward, Su Mengyao seemed to recall something and informed Ye Xuan about the Hangzhou Nature Reserve.
Although the current Mutated Creatures were only in the initial stages of Mutation, their strength had increased significantly. Even though they were still fragile against human firearms, they posed a fatal danger to ordinary people, so the Nature Reserve had been sealed off, and even the safe zones were not open to tourists.
In fact, the concept of a Nature Reserve no longer truly existed.
Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, the purpose of Humans building Nature Reserves was to protect biodiversity, provide habitats for endangered species, maintain ecological balance, ensure the stability and normal function of ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and grasslands, regulate the climate, and protect water resources and soil.
After the Spiritual Energy Revival, the so-called Nature Reserves became territories for Mutated Creatures. All life forms within that possessed the necessary aptitude would evolve towards higher Life Levels under the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, while those without aptitude would be eliminated.
Perhaps these beasts are weak now, but in the Future, they have the potential to become enemies of Humans.
They could not possibly protect a group of lives that would become hostile to Humans in the Future.
As for why they don't kill all the life forms in the Nature Reserves now, or forcibly control them, to prevent the possibility of more beasts undergoing Mutation and attacking Humans under the Spiritual Energy Tide in the Future.
On one hand, it was because Mutated Creatures held extremely high value for Humans.
The more powerful the Mutated Creature, the higher its value. If utilized well, it could play a significant role in promoting national development; they were reluctant to kill them all based on some uncertain possibility.
On the other hand, there was public opinion.
Although they could foresee that as the Spiritual Qi Concentration on Blue Star became denser, the strength of Mutated Creatures would increase, and their Life Levels would rise, requiring more food, more land, and more resources, thus leading to conflict with Humans.
But before any of that actually happened, if they carried out large-scale slaughter of these Mutated Creatures that had done nothing yet, they would inevitably face public backlash.
Perhaps their reasoning for doing so was to protect Humans, but before they were actually attacked by Mutated Creatures, before they experienced the pain of someone close to them being killed by a Mutated Creature, who would care?
They would only arrogantly assume they were merely venting their desire to kill.
Even if this was just their speculation, who was willing to bear the consequences?
No one.
So, let everything wait until after the Spiritual Energy Tide; by then, they would realize that between Humans and Mutated Creatures, there is no such thing as harmonious coexistence.
Since Ye Xuan was interested in the Flesh and Blood of Mutated Creatures, it was a perfect opportunity for her to grant him access to the Hangzhou Nature Reserve to hunt some Mutated Creatures, which would also serve to hone his combat experience.
However, Ye Xuan had already logged off at this time and naturally could not see Su Mengyao's message. After sending the message to Ye Xuan, Su Mengyao also began preparing documents to report Ye Xuan's Talent to her superiors and request more resources.
Ye Xuan was not just a growing genius or a future powerhouse right now; he was currently the undisputed second in the entire World.
He was the one who needed resources the most.
It didn't matter much if the holders of other Treasures of the Heavens progressed slowly; giving them resources wouldn't significantly speed up their growth anyway.
Devil Fruit users?
How much time would it take for them to advance to the level of Admiral or Four Emperors, developing their Devil Fruit to the Awakened state?
Five years, ten years, or perhaps more?
The Real World did not have Kaido of the Beasts to teach them.
Zanpakutō holders?
They should focus on increasing their Spiritual Power first. If they can't even achieve Shikai, what use is knowing the name?
Without the aptitude of Kurosaki Ichigo, their strength might not improve much even after decades.
