The flood of doubts was overwhelming, and the comments section was exploding. Wenren Meiqiao's statement received over two thousand likes in just over ten minutes, quickly securing the top spot in the qualifier discussions.

This situation made the whole qualifier page exceptionally popular, attracting many Dragon Group members who heard the news and came to join the fun.

"Ahahaha, I'm here to like Wenren Meiqiao, the goddess."

"Just passing by to like Meiqiao. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has real skills!"

"Bowing to Meiqiao and, by the way, despising Shen Qiang, the lousy teammate of Qian Shanxue."

The comments section was in chaos.

At the Dragon Group headquarters meeting room, a white-haired elder put down his report, his eyes lit up with excitement as he slammed the table, exclaiming, "What a Shen Qiang, impressive, truly impressive! I personally participated in this unsolved case back then."

"During the investigation period, it was like the killer hid in the fog, and the despair from having no leads was simply suffocating."

"Hahaha, who would have thought, Shen Qiang found a breakthrough through the lack of fingerprints from the killer, and quickly caught the guy who had troubled us for decades. A talent, indeed a talent!"

Laughing heartily, he said, "This Shen Qiang is truly outstanding. I think we need to transfer him to our headquarters. Keeping him in the Provincial City seems a bit of a waste."

Hearing this, the other members in the meeting room nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, this Shen Qiang is definitely a future super powerhouse of our Dragon Group! So far, his abilities in all aspects continue to surprise us. First, based on the special ability grading of cultivators, our evaluation standard ranges from highest to lowest as A, B, C, D, and the lowest E, with the disaster-level S ability beyond the ordinary restrictions."

"Take Qian Shanxue's icy abilities, for example. Her ability level is rated A+. If one day Qian Shanxue successfully enters above the Dao Fruit Stage, her abilities might reach the disaster level. But Shen Qiang is different; his control over infectious pathogens, by itself, has already reached the disaster-level S."

A serious-looking member added, "And on another front, he is the King of Demons. He can earn the utmost loyalty from countless demons, an ability that absolutely surpasses the legendary S-level."

"This is immensely important. You can see from the behavior of those demons since the establishment of Heshenghe. They look up to Shen Qiang; whatever he wants them to do, they will do. Demons, once a huge threat in the Cultivation World, have now transformed into guardians."

"Additionally, Shen Qiang has a cultivation speed that surpasses even the Sword Saint. His cultivation talent is unparalleled, so in summary, this Shen Qiang, with his S-level virus control deterrence, ultra-S-level demon control, and unmatched cultivation speed, coupled with remarkable wisdom, I can boldly say that in less than ten years, his name might become an emperor-like existence in the Cultivation World."

Hearing this, the others nearby nodded frequently.

"Indeed, this Heqiang's power is indeed flawless. Not only that, but his strongest areas are medical skill and elixir pills, which are also S-level abilities, making me personally advocate for moving him to headquarters. After all, he is currently the only one in the entire Cultivation World with three S-level abilities. Once he's at headquarters, he can receive comprehensive protection, and no one can harm him."

"Seconded. Shen Qiang is too important for the Dragon Group because he represents how much deterrent the Dragon Group can wield in the future."

Upon hearing this, an elder excitedly slammed the table, saying, "Good, then let's set it. We'll..."

However, just then, a cough suddenly came from the conference room door. Everyone turned their heads and instantly saw a soldier wearing an ordinary training uniform with no rank and small rubber shoes. Everyone instantly stood up, standing straight and saluting with unwavering focus.

The unranked military-uniformed man returned the salute and then smiled, saying, "Sit down, sit, don't all stand up. I heard what you just said. Your foresight makes me gratified, and it also shows that you all indeed have ability, but Shen Qiang has already passed the new recruit protection plan period."

"His cultivation is already above the Nascent Soul Stage. A hundred years ago, when he wandered the Jianghu, any cultivator would call him a master of the world."

"But times are different now. The existence of the internet allows us to know the entire Cultivation World's trends from the comfort of our rooms, which was unimaginable decades ago."

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the group, the unranked man raised his eyebrows and said, "So, the times are changing, and so is the Cultivation World. Remember that famous saying, 'born in adversity and die in comfort'? Shen Qiang has ample potential, but if we bring Shen Qiang to headquarters now, he could easily become complacent and stop progressing without threat."

"So you shouldn't transfer him yet. True swords are forged through grindstones."

"Haven't we seen enough flowers in greenhouses? Take Zuo Lianghao, one of the five tigers of the Cultivation World, for example. He is the typical greenhouse flower, appearing cautious and careful, but actually burdened by fame, and arrogantly dismissive due to some skill, which ended up making him join Heshenghe."

"And that is already fortunate. If Shen Qiang wasn't appreciative of talent, he might have already become a corpse, so let's give Shen Qiang a chance to continue honing himself. When one day he truly qualifies to come here, I will give him my study."

The crowd in the room was instantly shocked upon hearing this.

"You want to give him your study? You mean he's qualified to be your successor?"

"Who would have thought he had such a position in your heart!"

"My heavens, do you mean he's qualified to become the Dragon Group's War God?"

Seeing the stunned looks on everyone's faces, the unranked man smiled slightly, "Shen Qiang fulfills the basic conditions, but how far he can develop in the future depends on himself. If he is content with the status quo, let him stay as a local powerhouse in the Provincial City."

In a flash, a member's eyes lit up, "I understand you mean, if he works hard, you will accept him!"

The unranked man smiled, glanced at the old, ordinary mechanical watch on his wrist, and said, "It's getting late. Since you understand my meaning, I won't disturb you. Continue, I'll leave first. Also, that pretty girl seems to be causing a stir, causing a lot of commotion over there. Handle it."
