"Chen Ye, leave it to me!"
The moment Qin Muyin spoke, a green glow burst forth around her.
Chen Ye stopped where he was and watched her in action.
In an instant!
All the aliens on the ground were frozen in place, unable to move, screaming in panic.
The next second—
"Pop pop pop..."
Their heads all exploded.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Muyin had cleared the entire area. She moved so fast that the trapped personnel hadn't even reacted yet.
Clearly, Qin Muyin was decisive and efficient in her attacks.
As the two landed, the trapped individuals lit up with joy.
They may not have heard of Chen Ye's name during their time in the other world, but they certainly knew about Qin Muyin—the former number one powerhouse in the country.
"Captain Qin, you finally came to rescue us!"
"Thank you so much, Captain Qin. If you hadn't shown up in time, we would've been..."
"I can't believe it's really you who came to save us. It's..."
The rescued re
As expected—
The next instant,
A figure flashed in front of her, intercepting the flying axe.
Naturally, it was Chen Ye.
He grabbed the axe with one hand, catching it midair. It trembled violently, trying to escape—but it couldn't break free from his grip.
The aliens were instantly dumbfounded...
They couldn't believe anyone could catch their divine weapon.
Chen Ye, holding the axe, also furrowed his brows.
He had thought to crush it when it tried to escape—but to his surprise, he couldn't!
With his current strength, even the hardest alloy would feel like mush in his hands.
He had no idea what material this axe was made of.
Since he couldn't crush it, he wasn't going to let it go—he simply held onto it.
Then,
Chen Ye turned his gaze toward the darkness ahead to his left.
He could sense that there was a powerful being in that direction.
That axe just now had been thrown by that individual.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Heavy footsteps echoed through the air.
And then—
A towering alien over five meters tall stepped out from the darkness.
It walked on all fours, with a body as massive as an elephant. Its humanoid upper torso was muscular and covered in thick fur, resembling a mighty lion.
This alien held a high status.
As soon as it appeared, the remaining aliens all dropped to their knees, not daring to look up.
The giant alien ignored the others and stared directly at Chen Ye. Then it pointed at him and shouted something loudly.
Chen Ye didn't understand the language.
But judging from its tone and gesture, it seemed to be demanding the return of the axe.
Chen Ye: Like hell I'm giving it back.
I picked it up fair and square—why should I return it?
If you want to blame something, blame yourself for throwing it so carelessly!
Then, not only did Chen Ye refuse to return it—he even threw a punch straight at the giant alien!
"Pop!"
The air itself exploded.
The earth trembled violently!
A massive fire punch, over fifty meters wide, roared out like a supersonic bulldozer, howling toward the distant giant alien.
Everything in its path was obliterated. Even the ground was plowed into a flaming trench!
For the first time in months, Chen Ye's "Fire Fist" appeared again!
Its power was leagues beyond what it had been the last time he used it...
The giant alien's eyes widened in horror.
It didn't even have time to dodge—it was pulverized by the massive fire punch on the spot!
"Boom!!"
The fire punch exploded in the distance with the force of a small nuclear blast.
A giant fireball several hundred meters wide lit up the night sky.
With the blinding light came a devastating shockwave that spread in all directions.
Even though the researchers had already kept their distance, they were still knocked off their feet by the blast. If Qin Muyin hadn't shielded them in time with her telekinesis, several might've died on the spot...
As the flames died down, a mushroom cloud slowly rose from the ground.
The newly rescued researchers stared in stunned silence. They could hardly believe this level of destruction had come from one casual punch from that bald guy.
It was absolutely terrifying!
Only now did everyone finally realize that Qin Muyin hadn't been joking earlier.
She truly had only come to play support on this rescue mission.
And yet...
They still couldn't understand: how had President Chen's youngest son become so unimaginably powerful?
Wasn't he a C-rank aptitude?
Wasn't he just some pampered pretty boy riding on a woman's coattails?
What on earth had happened while they were trapped in the other world?
...
"Don't just stand there! The exit's up ahead—let's get moving!"
Chen Ye called out loudly.
Everyone snapped out of their daze and rushed toward the exit.
No one dared question Chen Ye now.
"Chen Ye, you..."
Chen Chao stared at his younger brother in disbelief.
"Big bro, I'll explain everything once we're out." Chen Ye casually brushed it off.
Chen Chao gave his brother a long, thoughtful look and followed the group.
From then on,
Chen Ye took the lead, while Qin Muyin guarded the rear.
Although more aliens tried to ambush them along the way, they were nothing but cannon fodder before Chen Ye's fire punches!
They couldn't even scream before they were vaporized by the flames...
At this point, calling his fire punch a "Super Fire Fist" was no exaggeration.
His mental power had nearly caught up to Qin Muyin's.
That meant his fire ability had grown terrifying—his flames now reached temperatures close to 5,000 degrees!
At such heat, even steel would melt and evaporate.
Combined with the destructive force of over 30,000 strength points behind each punch...
Saying the aliens were vaporized wasn't an overstatement at all.
...
After about ten minutes,
They finally reached the exit.
After running for over ten minutes straight, many of them were completely out of breath.
Especially the older professors—if Qin Muyin hadn't helped with her telekinesis, they never would've made it.
When they saw the exit, they couldn't help but smile in relief and surged forward.
This time, nothing unexpected happened.
Once everyone returned to the familiar Blue Star and saw the familiar faces of the soldiers, they erupted in cheers. A few who were particularly overwhelmed even fell to their knees and kissed the ground.
For them, this truly was a near-death experience.
Many had thought they would die in the other world. To return alive felt like a miracle.
"Professor..."
"Dr. Zhao..."
Numerous high-ranking officers came from the military district to welcome them.
President Chen was among them.
When he saw both his sons safe and sound, a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Chao!"
"Dad!!"
Chen Chao fell to his knees before his father and bowed deeply. "I've been unfilial. I made you worry."
Despite the flood of emotions President Chen felt, all he said was, "As long as you're back, that's all that matters."
...
That night,
None of the survivors slept.
When morning came,
Many of them—professors included—visited Chen Ye's tent to express their gratitude.
After learning the truth overnight, they finally understood just how terrifying President Chen's youngest son had become.
And it wasn't an exaggeration to say—
If that bald man wanted to become a god on Earth, no one could stop him.
Not just professors—even their superiors' superiors would have to tread carefully around Chen Ye...
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much..."
"Thank you for saving me. If there's ever anything you need, just say the word..."
"Just a small token of appreciation—please accept it..."
Chen Ye casually brushed them off with a few words and sent them all away.
Only the Chen family remained in the tent.
Chen Chao still looked like he couldn't believe what he was seeing...
It had only been a few years—
And his brother had become a "god"?
"So... Chen Ye, is your hero aptitude really the legendary S1?"
Chen Ye sighed and said, "Big bro, you've asked that several times already."
Chen Chao replied, "I'm just... overwhelmed."
President Chen glanced at his phone and said, "Chao, your mom wants you to come home immediately!"
This time,
Chen Chao didn't argue. He nodded and said, "I'll pack up and head back with the main group... I haven't seen Mom in years. I miss her too."
President Chen nodded. Seeing the dim look in his older son's eyes, he sighed silently in his heart.
He knew that Chen Chao probably still hadn't gotten over the disappointment of failing his hero aptitude test.
