Overall Rating: S+
Astounding!
Seeing this complete status panel shook Lu Ming’s soul.
Every aspect, from personal history to physical data, was that of a king among kings.
Former leader of the Dragon Squad, now instructor!
Although as a civilian, his utmost military knowledge was limited to special operations forces and special solo soldier programs.
Yet, such a legendary organization as the Dragon Squad truly existed!
More incredible was that Chen Hai’s initial specialization wasn’t that of an advanced soldier, but the Ultimate Soldier King.
Lu Ming didn’t quite grasp what an Ultimate Soldier King entailed, but it was undoubtedly above an advanced soldier!
His concealment of power made sense, both as a trump card and to make it easier for ordinary people to accept.
He even deliberately made his kills appear consistent with his declared level, showing his meticulous thinking.
But what criteria define an S+ rating?
With this thought, Lu Ming tapped the rating, and a detailed data panel immediately unfolded.
Strength: 115 (100)
Agility: 95 (100)
Wisdom: 99 (100)
Spirit: 120 (100)
Total: 429

“……”
Instant clarity dawned—so the Ultimate Soldier King’s four key stats max out at 100, and Chen Hai’s numbers were off the charts, hence the S+ rating?
Especially the spirit and strength stats—weren’t they a bit too powerful?
What about himself?
What did the three question marks mean?
Curiosity stirred, but just as he was about to close the panel and return to his own info, a triangular symbol at the end of Chen Hai’s personal info caught his eye.
This symbol typically indicated hidden extended information on web pages. Could there be additional details to view?
Clicking the triangle expanded a lengthy passage.
[But even Chen Hai harbored a deep regret.
Twenty years ago, he was betrothed to Jiang Xueyan, the legitimate daughter of the prominent Jiang family in the capital. The two were deeply in love, sharing moments of profound affection. They were about to arrange their wedding when the Dragon Squad suddenly summoned him for a critical diplomatic mission that lasted ten years. Upon his return, Jiang Xueyan had already passed away from illness, in the second year of his absence.
Though the Jiang family understood Chen Hai’s national duties, they could not forgive the fiancé who disappeared without a trace for a decade and forever forbade him from setting foot in their home.
This incident became an insurmountable barrier for Chen Hai and a key reason for his retreat into the shadows. From then on, he never smiled again, numbing himself with constant training. Until one hour before the transfer, top Dragon Squad officials, unable to bear his numbness, handed him a photo. It was of a vibrant, beautiful, confident young woman brimming with vitality. They informed him that she was Jiang Xueyan’s surviving child and that Jiang Xueyan’s death was not due to illness but a result of family power struggles and conspiracies. She fell from a building before giving birth, suffering a great tragedy.
She could have survived but chose to save the child—his child with Jiang Xueyan.
Shocked by the news, Chen Hai was struck by thunder from a clear sky, filled with regret and sorrow, but also a new hope. He rushed to board a plane to the United States, only for the massive transfer to occur at takeoff.]
…
Hidden information ended. Lu Ming sighed deeply. He hadn’t expected such a master to have such a hidden past. The key photo was highlighted, indicating it could be clicked to view.
Emmm…
Lu Ming’s fingers hovered, then withdrew, thinking that snooping on someone’s privacy wasn’t right. But not looking would feel insincere, so oh well—it was information gleaned by the Eye of Truth, a skill, so no blame on him.
Blaming the skill lifted his spirits considerably. He clicked the photo, and it was truly stunning.
Tall and well-proportioned, with only light makeup that outshone many heavily made-up celebrities and far surpassed influencers relying on heavy beauty filters.
If she were to be rated for beauty, she’d be a goddess scoring over 95.
Most importantly, her aura—just from the photo, her sideways pose, legs crossed, shoulders raised, hands clasped, and charming smile conveyed youthfulness, brightness, and ethereal grace.
To think such a woman could be the daughter of a tough guy like Chen Hai—Lu Ming was amazed, marveling at Aunt Xueyan’s strong genes.
But now wasn’t the time to admire others’ photos; the key was whether his own rating data could be checked, crucial for assessing future enemy and ally strength.
“?”
Just as he was about to close the photo, a sudden spark lit up in his mind.

There was a photo and an image—could he identify information from it?
The thought embarrassed Lu Ming himself. Wasn’t this overthinking?
Besides, wasn’t it a bit creepy? No! Absolutely not!
He closed the photo, shut the Chen Hai info panel, then re-verified Chen Hai’s data, reopened the photo, and activated the Eye of Truth.
Ahem, this wasn’t creepy, just normal male curiosity! Having come this far, not continuing to look would be unmanly!
“Identify!”
