Demon Hunters nationwide reeled in shock as enigmatic figures in suits appeared along coastlines, single-handedly intercepting massive tsunamis and averting catastrophe across the Xia Kingdom. In the depths of the ocean, Wu Tao lured a grotesque sea monster to the surface for interrogation, only for a sudden bolt of lightning to strike it dead, frustrating his efforts to uncover clues. Turning to the frightened Captain Xu Rong, he inquired about the legendary Sister Han, the world's most powerful and mysterious woman, learning that only the Demon Hunter headquarters could facilitate contact. In a swift motion, Wu Tao tore open a spatial rift and yanked the Chief Captain from his office to the isolated island beach.

Captain Hao gazed at the sandy shore and the swaying coconut palms, finding himself utterly stunned in an instant. The events that had transpired left him unable to comprehend anything, and his eyes refused to accept the reality before him.

Merely moments earlier, he had been seated in his office; how had he ended up at this coastal location so abruptly?

What on earth was happening here?!

As Captain Hao remained rigid and bewildered on the spot, a voice that sounded vaguely familiar echoed nearby!

"General Captain?!"

He whipped his head around, spotting Xu Rong right there!

Their gazes locked.

Mutual astonishment filled their stares, with eyes stretched wide like plates.

Though Xu Rong possessed a bit more exposure and had encountered extraordinary feats before, watching her General Captain get yanked across the sky in a mere split second—through some space-defying technique—once more defied her comprehension entirely. She found herself overwhelmed with utter disbelief!

For a prolonged stretch, the pair of known figures lingered in stunned silence before they managed to regain a sliver of awareness.

Captain Hao's face bore traces of ongoing fright as he posed his query with evident unease.

"What exactly is going on?!"

"Where is this place?!"

"How did I suddenly end up here, and why are you here too?!"

The formerly composed and reliable senior officer now brimmed with inquisitiveness and alarm, resembling a total novice. His lips parted to unleash a flurry of inquiries, nearly overwhelming Xu Rong to the point she couldn't respond.

Once she had soothed him somewhat, she softly relayed all she had observed.

Starting from the odd occurrence in the housing district to the frightening quakes on the isle, up through the current situation, she shared every detail honestly. Upon hearing it, Captain Hao leaped to his feet from the beach.

The seasoned fellow was so shaken that his limbs darted about with the agility of a young teen's!

"Holy shit?!"

"You mean to say, in the blink of an eye, we're already out on the ocean? The source of this apocalyptic tsunami sweeping the world is also here? And all of this is because someone stomped their foot?!"

"That's impossible..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Captain Hao bellowed in a manner unlike his usual self, brimming with skepticism and wonder. A chill crept up his scalp; absorbing such a torrent of info so suddenly, with each revelation more incredulous than the prior, he couldn't accept any of it!

It was precisely then.

A relaxed tone wafted from beneath the coconut palms.

"You're already in the middle of the Taitian Ocean. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"None of that matters."

"I just want to ask you, can you help me find that Sister Han?"

Those gentle utterances landed, but they detonated like thunder in spring!

Captain Hao froze upon hearing it. He gradually pivoted his head, beholding Wu Tao in shorts, peering over with casual indifference. Confronting this unknown youth, and piecing together the details swirling in his thoughts...

He quickly and discreetly scanned the surroundings.

Nothing but vast seas stretched out, devoid of any land's trace. The grains underfoot radiated a mild warmth, seeming to verify the tale Xu Rong had just shared.

In that instant.

Captain Hao remained rooted in place, his thoughts thundering!

Was all of this genuinely real?!

He strove to steady his nerves, yet the profound astonishment lingered inescapably. The reality proved far too staggering. Several minutes passed before he could process it, then he questioned with mixed faith.

"You... you are the powerhouse Xiao Xu mentioned?"

Even as his gaze quivered and full tranquility eluded him, managing to somewhat compose himself so swiftly demonstrated his remarkable resilience and poise. Among Blue Planet dwellers, he ranked as exceptional.

It made sense how he had risen to lead the lovely captain.

Wu Tao gave a faint nod, rising and directing his eyes intently as he inquired.

"Can you help me find that Sister Han?"

Though the response skirted the direct query, it implied acceptance of all. The firm delivery exuded an intimidating, heavy pressure.

Despite Wu Tao's efforts to seem somewhat mild, to Captain Hao, his aura remained awe-inspiring, making him feel burdened as by a looming mountain.

He had no recourse but to reply honestly, carefully outlining the challenges.

"This..."

"I can indeed report this matter and request my superiors to contact Sister Han. If I explain Your Excellency's existence, it shouldn't be a problem. However, I can't completely guarantee it. I can only do my best and wait for news."

Wu Tao inclined his head a touch and gestured, ripping apart a tear in space.

"Alright."

"I'm a somewhat patient person, so I'll wait a bit. This is the only way for now. I'll send you back first."

Observing the fearsome technique of splitting the void firsthand, fresh waves of amazement stirred within them. Absurd as it seemed, facing it repeatedly left them compelled to accept it!

Within an instant.

The duo got drawn into the shadows.

Upon reopening their eyes, the beach sands had morphed into pavement. The bustling, joyful urban view felt intimately known; it was none other than Pingjiang City, the home they protected ceaselessly!

Surveying the thrilled walkers nearby, Captain Hao and Xu Rong positioned themselves on the aged avenue in the historic district, shock dominating their expressions.

What sort of power was at play here?

A supernatural gift?

Or perhaps a vivid hallucination?

All that had reached their ears and sights unfolded with striking authenticity around them. The populace reveled in the tsunami's retreat, sporting rare grins and lively chats, which now demolished their final scraps of skepticism.

They had indeed crossed paths with an unfathomable deity!

As the pair exchanged dazed looks, Wu Tao—who had lingered silently nearby—began strolling at an easy pace. Pockets stuffed casually, he exuded supreme nonchalance, merging seamlessly with the throng as a typical passerby, utterly commonplace then.

Solely the low murmur trailing from his departing form, sounding as close as a whisper, jogged their memory of his dreadfulness!

"The discount supermarket is about to close. I need to buy some things to take home first, so I won't see you off. If there's any news, remember to notify me immediately..."

This offhand remark filled their gazes with reverence.

Such a fantastical meeting had truly unfolded in reality. The man who appeared so mundane harbored godlike powers akin to legends...

All at once.

Vast billows churned in Captain Hao and Xu Rong's cores, like awakening to the world's hidden facets. What had seemed everyday now struck as alien.

Not risking a second's delay, they swiftly flagged a cab and sped toward the Demon Hunting Department with urgency!

Within under thirty minutes.

The urgent dispatch about the enigmatic figure reached central command. The General Captain strode restlessly across his office floor, shedding all his typical poise and serenity, fidgety like a fresh recruit.

Xu Rong merely lingered idly beside him.

In a single fleeting day, happenings had accelerated beyond measure, surpassing her capabilities entirely. Beyond striving to settle her feelings and bide her time, she could achieve nothing further.

Yet the deeper this helplessness grew, the tinier and more trivial she felt. Thoughts raced unchecked, dragging up old memories...

During her initial encounter with Wu Tao, he had merely roamed the streets without purpose.

It was only now that she grasped his incomprehensible prowess. A mere gesture allowed him to rend dimensions and unleash tidal catastrophes, akin to a deity. Any notion of peril was mere farce.

The persistent uncertainties from later meetings dissolved fully in this revelation.

From the outset, he defied rational bounds. His intentions and actions lay wholly outside her grasp...

A flood of sentiments rose overwhelmingly.

Xu Rong's mental fog lifted notably, but fresh queries kept emerging. It felt like a portal to a whole new realm had swung wide in her psyche, spilling forth boundless wonder.

Precisely who was he?

And from whence came those superhuman talents he'd unveiled?

These eddying uncertainties tormented her mind, rendering Pingjiang City's premier captain wholly unfocused. She shed all concern for her surroundings, including the Phantom Spirits she'd long deemed her prime foes.

Post-shift, she collapsed onto her solitary bed, sleep evading her, writhing until daybreak...
