Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2644

Chapter 2644: Yuan’s Testimony

"C-Corporal Yuan?! Is that really you?!"

While most were frozen in a daze, one soldier suddenly called out to Yuan.

Yuan turned to that soldier and responded without stopping, "Yes, it’s me."

"How are you still alive?! I heard you entered the Black Zone alone!"

"I don’t want to explain the entire thing every time someone asks, so I’ll let the higher-ups explain it later," he said.

"A-Alright..."

News of Yuan’s return spread like wildfire in the military, reaching General Gu’s ears even before Yuan made it to General Mei’s office.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" General Gu stood from his chair after hearing the news and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"C-Corporal Yuan is still alive, and he’d just returned to base!"

"That’s impossible! The Scorpion Squad has confirmed his death in the Black Zone!"

"The Scorpion Squad must have lied."

"Where the hell are they?! Demand answers from them!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Yes, General."

Meanwhile, inside General Mei’s office, she also received news of Yuan’s return.

"General! You won’t believe this, but Corporal Yuan—the one everyone thought had died a few months ago—has returned to the city alive!"

"Really? When did he return?" Mei Feng asked in a surprised tone, though her reaction was far more subdued than the officer had expected.

"About fifteen minutes ago, and from what I heard, he seems to be approaching the direction of your—"

*Knock* *Knock*

The door was suddenly knocked on, followed by a familiar voice.

"It’s me."

"Speaking of the devil..." Mei Feng muttered. "I’ll speak to you later."

After disconnecting the call, Mei Feng answered Yuan, "Enter."

The door opened, and Yuan calmly stepped into the office a moment later.

Mei Feng drew a sharp breath upon seeing his face. Although she already knew he was alive, there had always been a chance that something could happen to him while he continued training alone in the Black Zone. Now that he was standing before her in person, whatever lingering unease she still harbored vanished like smoke.

"I’m back," Yuan spoke first, acting as if he’d only just gone out for a short adventure.

Mei Feng’s chest rose and fell heavily, as though she were preparing to unleash a torrent of anger. However, after taking another deep breath, she let out a long sigh instead.

"Is that all you have to say?" she asked.

"Sorry for making you worried," Yuan immediately added.

Mei Feng rubbed her eyes for a moment before speaking again, "Did you really spend the entire time in the Black Zone?"

"Yes."

"Well? What do you think of the Black Zone?"

"It wasn’t as dangerous as I thought," he replied without hesitation.

"What exactly are you trying to achieve?" she then questioned.

"I already told you. I am training."

Mei Feng frowned at his response and quickly replied, "If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable. Your cultivation hasn’t improved in the slightest since I last saw you."

"I never said I was training my cultivation," Yuan said while shaking his head. "I am training another power."

"What—"
