Chapter 55 - Chapter 56: Qin Yun Goes Missing

There were also the Healing and Space Systems that he had awakened a while ago.

The Space System had already fully controlled its Star Dust, allowing him to cast Space magic.

However, up until now, Jiang Yuan had researched it repeatedly but still hadn't discovered any innate talent for the Space System.

Even when he activated the overclocked state, the innate talent of the Space System was like playing hide-and-seek, constantly remaining out of sight.

Despite this, Jiang Yuan didn't feel that his Space System lacked an innate talent.

Perhaps he just hadn't found the correct way to trigger it.

Sooner or later, he would discover it.

In contrast, Jiang Yuan had a much better grasp of the innate talent of his other Healing System.

During that terrifying night when the Undead tide raged, he had numerous injuries on his body from the continuous attacks of the Undead.

He had originally intended to quickly find a Healing Mage for treatment.

But before he could find a Healing Mage, his injuries had all healed at some point, without him knowing when.

Even his skin had become smoother and more delicate!

To verify, Jiang Yuan lightly drew a shallow cut on his arm.

The result?

Almost in the blink of an eye, the wound healed perfectly, as good as new.

At this point, Jiang Yuan was certain: the innate talent of the Healing System brought with it a terrifying self-Healing ability!

However, whether this talent had other hidden abilities besides self-Healing, Jiang Yuan had yet to explore.

...

...

More than half a month passed in a flash.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes tightly, immersed in his mental Space, which resembled a boundless universe.

The gray nebula, like a sleeping giant beast, was breathing rapidly, expanding and contracting.

Suddenly.

The edge that had originally bound the nebula seemed to be instantly erased by a mysterious force, disappearing without a trace.

Freed from its restraints, the nebula, like a wild horse unbridled, expanded wildly in an instant.

For a moment, starlight overflowed.

Soon, a dazzling, galaxy-like river of stars stretched across this mental Space.

The river water flowed slowly, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura!

Success!

The Undead System advanced successfully!!

Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of excitement and surprise flashing within them.

This advancement speed was even a few days faster than he had originally anticipated!

Becoming a High-level Undead Mage meant that Jiang Yuan had enough magic energy to feed the Three-Eyed Underworld General, helping it to assault the Commander-level.

However, before that, he still needed to acquire Commander-level spirit essence and advancement materials.

Jiang Yuan got up and left the room.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw a girl in a high school uniform lounging lazily on the sofa, engrossed in her phone, her small feet in white socks swinging back and forth, looking very comfortable.

The girl was Qin Xiaoyu, the daughter of Martial Uncle Qin Feng.

She was currently a first-year student at the Ancient Capital Magic High School, and her awakened magic system was Wind.

As soon as Qin Xiaoyu saw Jiang Yuan, her eyes immediately lit up like two stars, and she instantly sprang up from the sofa, exclaiming in surprise, "Brother Yuan, are you done meditating today?"

Jiang Yuan showed a gentle smile, nodded slightly, and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you know where Teacher Qin Yun is right now?"

"I don't know." Qin Xiaoyu shook her head, her little legs running incredibly fast, and in a flash, she darted into the kitchen.

Immediately after, the girl's clear and melodious voice, like a silver bell, came from the kitchen:

"Brother Yuan, wait a moment, I'll cook for you!!"

"Got it, be careful!" Jiang Yuan responded loudly.

Because Qin Feng and his wife were busy with work and often not at home, Qin Xiaoyu had learned to cook by herself at an early age.

Moreover, she was naturally gifted; the dishes she made were incredibly fragrant, truly the makings of a chef.

Jiang Yuan walked to the sofa, slowly sat down, took out his phone, and skillfully dialed Qin Yun's number.

"Beep beep... The user you dialed is currently unavailable... Beep beep..."

Hmm? What's going on?

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but frown, a hint of unease rising in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then called his Martial Uncle Qin Feng.

This time, the call connected quickly.

"Hello, Jiang Yuan, what's up?" Qin Feng's voice came through the receiver.

"Martial Uncle, I just called Teacher, and his phone is off. Do you know where Teacher is right now?"

"Huh? Didn't he tell you?" Qin Feng asked back, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

"What?"

"Isn't your Undead about to advance to the Commander-level? He found a hunter team a while ago to go outside the city to help you hunt Undead. But logically, his phone shouldn't be off. I'll try calling him."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After hearing this, the unease in Jiang Yuan's heart grew even stronger.

Teacher had a Commander-level Undead with him, and he himself was a powerful Fire Mage.

Hunting a small Commander-level Undead shouldn't be very difficult.

Moreover, he was with a hunter team; logically, it should have been an easy task.

But the current situation could already be considered out of contact...

Just as he was thinking, Qin Feng's call came back.

Jiang Yuan quickly pressed the answer button.

Qin Feng's voice was much deeper than before, tinged with gravity: "I can't reach him either. I'm going to the Hunter Alliance now, come quickly."

After saying that, he hung up in a hurry.

Jiang Yuan stood up with a "whoosh."

"Brother Yuan, where are you going?" Qin Xiaoyu's little head poked out from the kitchen, asking with a curious expression.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon. If the food's ready and I'm not back yet, don't wait for me."

Jiang Yuan smiled, keeping his voice as steady as possible, so Qin Xiaoyu wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"Oh, okay, then come back quickly. Today I'm making my best braised pork." Qin Xiaoyu giggled.

"Mm-hmm." Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile, then opened the door and walked out.

...

Ancient Capital Hunter Alliance.

The alliance hall here was grand in scale, much more impressive than Bo City's.

The hall was bustling with people, a lively throng.

Large numbers of hunters gathered here, some shouting to form teams, others busy selling various magical resources, making it incredibly lively.

As soon as Jiang Yuan arrived at the alliance, he immediately called Qin Feng, and then successfully met up with him in the hall.

Qin Feng had arrived a good while before Jiang Yuan and had already inquired about the hunter team Qin Yun was with.

He looked at Jiang Yuan with a solemn expression and slowly began, "I've already found out some information. Prepare yourself."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"A wave of Undead zombies broke out in the area where that hunter team was. All hunter teams in that area have lost contact. This was already two days ago."

Qin Feng's voice was deep and hoarse, every word like a heavy stone, weighing on Jiang Yuan's heart.

The two fell silent.

In this situation, the possibility of survival was very low.

Even the Hunter Alliance had not organized hunters for a rescue, but only sent people to that area to investigate the situation.
