Chapter 1038: Chapter 778 Talent Inheritance_1

Of course, during these days, children of destiny who left the "Heavenly Pit Forest" and obtained mature Category 5 lifeforms have been increasing. Among these children of destiny, two main factions have vaguely emerged. The primary faction kills and devours energy in this world, causing destruction everywhere like locusts. Another faction is more standard and law-abiding. After evolving to Black Iron Ninth Level, they accept the baptism of the Power of the World, upgrade to Bronze Warriors, and then leave the Black Iron World to enter the world of the Bronze Tower, following the rightful path of evolution, step by step becoming stronger.

Those who possess mature Category 5 lifeforms, although their path of evolution is not as direct and freakishly fast as devouring like Zhang Jiarong’s, they are still unstoppable. As long as they absorb enough energy, they can naturally evolve and mutate. Those who decide to enter the Bronze Tower World are not a minority, and with their mature Class-5 Organisms and the hidden power of the "999" seeds inside them, one can imagine that their speed of breaking through the Bronze Tower will not be slower than Su Yu was on that day, and might even be faster.

As for the children of destiny who remain in this world to fight and devour energy, with time passing, they have also slowly begun to organize themselves, forming groups and factions, large and small. For other humans who are not children of destiny, they either kill or subdue them, slowly forming their own base of power.

Su Yu, through the informants in Black Iron City, was probably aware of these developments. Ada, upon hearing the news, said with a faint smile, "The children of destiny are beginning to become more standardized, not as chaotic as headless flies like at the beginning. This means that their power will also become increasingly strong."

Su Yu hummed in acknowledgment. Beside the hundred thousand children of destiny, there are also several other billions of humans, many of whom either followed the children of destiny out of the "Heavenly Pit Forest" or broke out on their own. These people are naturally the first choice for the children of destiny wanting to gather and form their own forces.

Almost everyone is striving to become stronger. Among the destiny children who were originally as scattered as sand, now and then, individuals of outstanding talent have emerged. With these people at the helm, several major forces in the Black Iron World slowly began to take shape, with Zhang Jiarong being one of them.

In these days, Su Yu had been waiting by the River of Oblivion at the edge of the "Heavenly Pit Forest." After waiting for a full seven days, finally, through the red light curtain, he saw a group of people he knew well.

Su Yu excitedly stood up from the ground.

"Dad—Mom—" Su Yu couldn’t help but wave his arms and shout loudly, but unfortunately, his voice seemed unable to penetrate the red light curtain. The group of people who had just left the "Heavenly Pit Forest" and arrived at the River of Oblivion could also see a tiny figure on the opposite bank waving his arms through the faint red light, but they couldn’t hear what he was calling.

"Hey, look, there seems to be someone on the opposite bank of the river, what is he doing?" A middle-aged woman among the group said curiously.

"Heh, no matter what, let’s figure out how to cross the river and leave this place first. I have a feeling that once we leave this river, we will be safe." A man in his fifties with a square face and a robust build, his voice was loud, his clothes were ragged and stained with dried blood which had formed into blackened clumps, looked somewhat imposing and stern with his face, exuding a sharp aura.

"Guozheng, speaking of it, we owe it all to you this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it this far." Someone in the crowd sighed with emotion.

This imposing man looked at the surrounding trees and said, "Let’s cut down some trees. Some of you go find some sturdy vines; we’ll make a raft. Otherwise, Yu Mei and the others won’t be able to cross this river. As I estimate, this river won’t be safe either."

The group clearly followed the lead of this imposing man, "Guozheng." After hearing his words, everyone started to work, and quickly, they felled some trees. The imposing man, Guozheng, held a knife-like weapon that was clearly a Golden Treasure; with ease, he hacked off the branches, and one by one, the trees were joined together and bound with sturdy green vines.

Finally, the group pushed the raft into the river, then one after another, they boarded it.

The imposing man made a pole and pushed it into the water; the raft slowly drifted away from the shore, heading towards the bank on the other side.

"Hey, look, that person keeps waving his hands; could he be looking for us?"

The people on the raft couldn’t hear the noise outside the curtain of light, but they could see the figure on the other side of the River of Oblivion from a distance, and everyone was puzzled. Meanwhile, Guozheng rowed the raft while remaining on alert for any monsters that might appear to attack them in the river.

Soon, one after another, creatures looking like giant crocodiles emerged from the bottom of the river. With a flick of their tails, they attempted to overturn the raft and enter the water, which was their domain.

"Monsters, courting death." The imposing man holding the pole swung it out fiercely.

With a "schick" sound, a crocodile-like creature screamed miserably; it was struck by the pole and exploded in the middle, blood splattering. The creature was cut in two sections in an instant. At the same time, the man pushed the raft with the pole towards the opposite shore, eager to leave the large river sooner.

The crocodile-like monster was killed, its blood attracting other creatures in the river to gather towards this spot.

Soon, a dense throng of crocodile monsters appeared around the wooden raft. Several people on the raft showed expressions of terror, but the dignified man with the pole appeared fearless. With a grunt of disdain, he said, "A bunch of beasts—" The pole danced in his hands, creating rippling illusions around the raft. With continuous "hiss" sounds, each thrust unleashed a jet of blood. Soon, the surface of the river was filled with the carcasses of crocodile monsters, belly-up and dead.

At that moment, on the opposite shore, Su Yu, who had been waving his arms vigorously, unconsciously stopped in his tracks. He had been extremely anxious when the monster attacked the raft, but then, that commanding man had swiftly dealt with the creatures. The efficiency of his actions stunned Su Yu.

"Dad... has become so powerful?" Su Yu’s vision was naturally much sharper than that of the people on the raft. They couldn’t see him clearly due to the distance, but Su Yu had recognized them immediately. The man called "Guozheng," who appeared authoritative and upright, was his father, Su Guozheng.

Ada laughed and said, "So that’s your dad? The old saying goes, ’Like father, like son’... No, no, it should be ’Like son, like father’... Your combat ability is very strong, Su Yu, and now it seems your dad’s fighting talent is equally impressive. Perhaps, your combat talents are inherited from him."

From afar, Ada could tell that among this group of people, the others were all very weak, with only Second-Level and Third Level Black Iron ranks, and there was even one at Second-Level. Only Su Guozheng alone had reached the Black Iron Ninth Level, which was why this group could be protected and make it to the edge of the Heavenly Pit Forest, preparing to cross the River of Oblivion.

"How could my dad have evolved so quickly... Could it be..." Su Yu suddenly snapped out of his initial euphoria, thinking of a possibility.

Ada gave Su Yu a deep look and remained silent, but his demeanor suggested that the truth was likely as such.

Without being the "Child of Destiny," how else could someone evolve into a Black Iron Ninth Level warrior in less than a month’s time?

As Su Guozheng expertly dispatched one monster after another with the pole, his movements were so adept, as if he had undergone many years of training. It was this that allowed Ada to recognize the talent in Su Yu’s parents at a glance, deducing that this fighting aptitude must be a latent quality of the Su family.

As the wooden raft approached the shore, the people on it finally began to make out Su Yu’s features clearly. Someone in the crowd wondered aloud, "Yu Mei sister-in-law, don’t you think that person on the shore looks a lot like your little Yu?" A middle-aged woman who looked somewhat like Su Yun was holding onto another older woman, quietly expressing her doubts from a distance.

With the keenest vision among them, Su Guozheng had been protecting the raft with great vigilance. Hearing the middle-aged woman’s comment, he shuddered. His eyes gleamed as he saw Su Yu from afar. Then, he trembled violently and involuntarily cried out, "Little Yu?"

Su Guozheng stared with eyes filled with indescribable shock; he could hardly believe what he saw.

How could Su Yu, who had vanished more than two years ago and was presumed dead by his family, suddenly appear alone on the opposite riverbank? Such an eerie occurrence would shock and horrify anyone who experienced it, or perhaps, was it just someone who looked remarkably like Su Yu?

"What? Guozheng? You said Little Yu? Where is Little Yu?" Su Yu’s mother, Fang Yumei, couldn’t help but grab her husband’s arm, her voice breaking with urgency.

More than two years ago, when Su Yu disappeared without a trace and was later declared dead, Fang Yumei had cried herself nearly blind with grief. And she was the weakest in the group, a mere Second-Level Black Iron, whose vision, even if improved by evolution, became a blur at a distance and could not see clearly.

Su Guozheng could see Su Yu’s face clearly from afar, but because the situation was so extraordinary, he too could not trust his eyes, feeling his blood boiling with excitement.

"Little Yu... could that... really be Little Yu?" Su Guozheng mulled over, his hands guiding the pole firmly through the water, sending the raft toward the shore like an arrow.

The raft reached the bank, and the people standing on it began to disembark one after another.

Su Yu approached slowly, his body trembling slightly with emotion, as he gazed at each familiar face. No words could describe his agitation, and his eyes were already moist with tears.
