Chapter 88 Xia Zu's Strength
"This Xiazu, what level is his strength?" Qin Mo narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.
Hearing this, Li Mou fixed his eyes, looked at him solemnly, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Just asking, what can I do?" Qin Mo smiled and waved his hands.
"Heh, how can I not know what your kid is thinking?"
Li Mou snorted coldly, and then said: "I can tell you, don't mess around, Xia Zu is not an ordinary person, his strength is very high."
The last three words, he bit a little bit harder.
Just listen to Li Mou continue to say: "How strong Xia Zu's true strength is, the Presbyterian Council doesn't know. The only thing that is certain is that he has at least the ninth rank of S rank."
"Ho!"
Qin Mo's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice, "Ninth rank? Doesn't that mean that he is only one step away from being promoted to Heavenly King?"
"That's right." Li Mou nodded slowly, with a dignified tone.
"A conflict broke out on the border some time ago, and the guarding coaches of the two sides left the field in person. The one from Qi State was an eighth-order S-level awakener, but he died in the hands of Xia Zu."
Speaking of this, Li Mou paused for a while, and then said: "Besides, the battle ended quickly, and Xia Zu was crushing strongly from the beginning, so his strength is definitely above the eighth level.
As for where it has reached, whether it has touched the threshold of the Heavenly King level, and how far it is from promotion, these are all unknown. "
Qin Mo frowned. He really didn't expect Xia Zu to be so powerful.
The nine levels divided by the S level, each level is extremely difficult to promote, it can be regarded as a small bottleneck, and the gap in strength levels is also very large.
The ninth level can easily kill the first level without any effort.
That is to say, Xia Zu can instantly seek Li Mou!
However, thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be a shocking thing.
It can be seen from the ice pick released by the eighth-level awakened person that only one ice pick can easily break his dragon domain and pierce his demigod body.
Xia Zu, who killed the owner of the ice cone, should naturally be stronger.
"Xia Zu is very talented. Although he is far behind the Ni boy, he is already far above the first line. You must know that he is only forty years old this year."
Li Mou said slowly, with emotion on his face, "Speaking of it, I am still in the same era as him, and Xia Zu is the most dazzling genius of that era, he is like a mountain, overwhelming others.
Even if they are the children of a thousand-year-old family, they can't compete with him. It is precisely because of the existence of Xia Zu that the Gaoling Xia Clan can develop to the present state in such a short period of time. "
After the words fell to the ground, Li Mou couldn't help but glance at Qin Mo.
In every era, there will be a genius. The previous one was Xia Zu, and this generation is naturally Qin Mo.
If Xia Zu is an unattainable mountain that everyone can still look up to, then Qin Mo is a great sun lying high in the sky, and he can't even look directly at it.
I have to say that Chu Tianjiao, Li Crazy, and other geniuses lived in the same era as Qin Mo, and this is their sorrow.
Qin Mo himself didn't feel anything.
His eyes flickered, thinking secretly in his heart, and asked at the same time: "How is the overall strength of the Gaoling Xia Clan?"
"Except for the five thousand-year-old families, the Gaoling Xia family is the strongest family, far surpassing other first-class families." Li Mou replied.
Hearing this, Qin Mo continued to ask: "How many S-ranks do they have?"
"There are at least thirty people."
"So many? From this point of view, the number of S-level awakened people is much more than I thought." Qin Mo whispered.
Li Mou smiled slowly and explained: "It's natural. Although there is no one in a million S-level awakened people, the total population base of several billion is here."
Qin and Qi countries announced that there are no more than a hundred S-class members on the public, but Li Mou now says that there are more than 30 people in just one Gaoling Xia clan.
Obviously, what can be made known to the general public is only the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the bucket.
Qin Mo was also in the ranks of the general public before, but now he is different. He is qualified to know these high-level secrets and see more hidden faces of this world.
The promotion of status is self-evident.
However, the strength of Gaoling Xia Clan and Xia Zu far exceeded his expectations, which can be called a behemoth for Qin Mo now.
His current strength is only at the S level, and he is far from being able to compete with Xia Zu.
Strength is the foundation of everything.
Power, wealth, status... and so on, all need to be obtained by strong strength.
The current Qin Mo is not strong enough.
He still needs to wait for time, accumulate more light energy points, and increase his attributes in all directions.
"Xia Zu, Gaoling Xia Clan..."
Qin Mo murmured softly, secretly suppressing the thoughts that had arisen just now in his heart, not thinking about it for now, and saving it for the near future.
This time must be extremely short.
Qin Mo's growth rate has always been very fast.
Looking at his posture, Li Mou nodded slowly, showing appreciation.
Qin Mo is not impulsive, let alone impatient. Such a mentality is hard to see in young people of his age.
Sometimes, Li Mou always has the illusion that Qin Mo sitting opposite him is not twenty-three years old at all, but an old fritter with a lot of experience.
"The specific conferment of the Marquis of Guannei will come down after a while. With your current status, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to stay in the Seventh Group of the Security Office."
Li Mou said slowly: "As far as I am concerned, I want to directly promote you to the deputy director of the Security Bureau. In addition, I am going to entrust you with the follow-up investigation of the Tiandihui. What do you think?"
If it were someone else, Li Mou would definitely not ask for opinions like this, but Qin Mo is different. He fully respects Qin Mo's choice.
Hearing this, Qin Mo thought about it in his heart, and then said: "It's okay to stay in the Security Bureau, but forget about the Tiandihui, I'm too lazy to deal with it."
"Don't worry, you don't need to take care of it. Someone else will be responsible for this matter. You are just playing a role.
Li Yi, Changqing, and Xiaoyuan, I will assign these three people to you, and they will handle specific matters. If you want other people, you can also choose them at the Security Bureau. "
Evergreen?
Qin Mo keenly grasped this strange word. He has seen Li Yi and Li Yuan before, but who is this evergreen?
"Changqing, come in."
Afterwards, a middle-aged man with a refined temperament pushed open the study door and walked in slowly.
"Changqing has met the Patriarch and Mr. Qin." Li Changqing bowed slightly and greeted.
Qin Mo looked him up and down, and his pupils quietly turned on the thermal imaging, releasing his spiritual perception.
Li Changqing's body is very strange. He is a little different from other awakened people. His arms, legs, and torso are all the same as normal people.
However, in the state of thermal imaging, his brain showed extremely deep colors.
It is impossible for the mimicry system and the elemental system to have this kind of situation, so... there is only one possibility left.
"Psychic Awakened?" Qin Mo looked at Li Mou and asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Li Changqing on the side raised his eyebrows suddenly, his thoughts moved slightly.
He and Qin Mo just met for the first time, and it didn't take more than half a minute. He didn't expect his details to be seen through so easily.
"This person is really extraordinary, no wonder he is valued so much by the Patriarch." Li Changqing thought to himself.
Li Mou nodded, and said in response: "That's right, Changqing is a very powerful spiritual awakener who just entered the imperial capital from Qingyang County a few days ago.
He will stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and he will mainly handle the follow-up investigation of the Tiandihui. "
Psychic awakeners can enter other people's dreams, create nightmares, read memories, and have many incredible abilities.
Letting Li Changqing to investigate this kind of matter can be said to be appropriate and make the best use of everything.
"That's fine, just follow what you said, brother."
Qin Mo nodded, accepting this errand.
…
…
At the same time, at the moment when Li Mou was talking with Qin Mo's study, Xia Zu had just left the restricted area of the imperial family and drove towards Shangyun District.
Gaoling Xia's mansion on the side of the imperial capital is located in Shangyun District.
And that house, in the near future, will soon become the champion mansion.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate, and Xia Zu in iron armor stepped out of the car, striding into Xia's Manor with a blank expression on his face.
In the manor, there was a short man with a rich figure, walking towards him, and before he got close to him, he said loudly:
"Congratulations, General, for being crowned champion."
Hearing this, Xia Zu's face remained unchanged, neither happy nor sad, he kept walking and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Xia Xuan was not annoyed, and hurriedly followed beside him with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
The two followed each other into the castle, and a faint bright yellow light suddenly lit up, filling Xia Zu's body.
As the light flickered, the armor on his body disappeared and turned into a simple necklace, hanging safely around Xiazu's neck.
There are a total of thirteen sharp spikes on the necklace. Obviously, this is an extremely powerful relic of the Holy Spirit, but it was precipitated by an awakened person of unknown rank.
After taking off his armor, Xia Zu sat on the sofa, drooping his eyelids, and slowly rubbing between his brows.
"What's the result of Qin Mo's investigation?"
"Report to the general, everything that can be found is here." Xia Xuan who stood aside immediately replied, and at the same time respectfully handed over a document.
He is the main spokesperson of the Gaoling Xia Clan in the imperial capital, responsible for all affairs of the Xia Clan in the imperial capital.
At the same time, Xia Xuan is also an S-rank awakener with extraordinary strength.
Xia Zu took the file, raised his eyelids, and flipped through it casually.
I saw that this A4 paper was densely packed with relevant information about Qin Mo, such as age, place of birth, what school he attended, which school he graduated from, when he entered the security bureau, and so on.
There is even general information about his late father, Qin Hao, and his mother.
For the Gaoling Xia Clan, it was not difficult to get these things, it was extremely easy.
Xiazu scanned it roughly, narrowed his eyes slightly, capturing the key information, and said slowly:
"Twenty-three years old, with S-level strength, and has a close relationship with the Li family in Qingyang... This Qin Mo is really lucky."
"What the general said is true. Qin Mo's luck is indeed quite strong, but unfortunately he is a dissatisfied young man." Xia Xuan said with a smile.
The so-called dissatisfaction in his mouth is of course about Qin Mo's vain attempt to become the champion.
It is already a blessing for a little boy who was unknown before, to be able to have the strength of S rank, but he dared to expect more things that did not belong to his class.
Champion Hou...
Heh, just rely on Qin Mo? He deserves it too?
Xia Zu shook his head, dropped the document casually, and stopped paying attention to Qin Mo. His thoughts were the same as those of Xia Xuan.
Therefore, Xia Zu didn't take Qin Mo's original credit away at all, and only felt that it was a matter of course.
"How are the preparations in Gaoling?" He turned his head and asked.
"It's almost ready."
"Well, the preparation must be sufficient. I have been waiting for so many years, so I am not in a hurry." Xia Zu said as he got up and walked to the window, hands behind his back.
He raised his head, staring at the blue and clean sky of the imperial capital, looking at the dazzling sun, a smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Xia Zu murmured softly: "Since this Marquis has won the title of Champion Marquis, it is time for the Gaoling Xia Clan to move forward."
The champion Hou Shang is the Duke of Qin.
Above the Gaoling Xia clan, there are five ancient families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Combining these two together, what Xia Zu wants to do is self-evident.
He is obviously going to lead the Gaoling Xia family to be promoted to the first-class family of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he will be named... Xia Guogong!
For thousands of years, the Duke of the State has been firmly controlled by the five great families. Unless it is a member of the five families, it is absolutely impossible for an outsider to be granted the title of Duke of the State.
But he, Xia Zu, did not believe in this evil.
