Chapter 292: The Heroic Stance

In 2040, Lunduncheng was tragically attacked by an alchemist's "Golden Transmutation." Millions of people who should have died that day were saved by a martial artist passing by on a journey, who used his flesh and blood to block the "Golden Transmutation." The martial artist was turned into gold on the spot and fell from the sky, yet he still stood motionless in place. Later, to commemorate this martial artist...

Not to commemorate.

"Xiang... it has already been confirmed..."

The tall and robust red-haired man patted the girl's shoulder. Although there was some hesitation in his tone at first, he soon made up his mind and clicked on that picture on the display screen.

A familiar figure appeared on it.

A golden statue of a human maintaining the stance of a heroic martial artist, completely naked, muscles bulging, short hair like a brush standing straight up, the body standing like an unshakable mountain range. The two round golden eyeballs in the eye sockets seemed full of rage, staring straight ahead, as if looking for some enemy.

With furrowed brows and a fierce look, any ordinary person who approached within 50 meters would feel a heart-pounding fear of being stared at by a beast, as if the statue were watching them.

It was clearly just a statue with no signs of life, but it possessed a charm that no master sculptor could ever display.

"Although I really don't want to believe it, that should be..."

Feng Mingyi's expression was somewhat heavy. Although he knew there were some hidden wonderful powers in this world, he had never thought that even the man who had defeated him would fall for it in such a short time.

Undoubtedly, this was caused by heretical technology they did not know, turning a living person into a precious metal.

If this technology could be used at will, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable...

After quite a bit of psychological struggle, he was ready to tell Xiang, who was already troubled, about this matter. After all, she had the right to know.

And it couldn't be hidden. On the day the incident happened, at least hundreds of thousands of people saw this golden human figure falling from the sky. Even if the British government wanted to block the news, the related news on the Internet had already swept the world like a storm.

Within a few short minutes, not only the Western powers but almost all countries or organizations with some strength in the world turned their eyes there.

What was that huge fireball?

Why did he fall from the sky?

And who created this golden statue?

Could it be a new type of noise?

All kinds of doubts tugged at everyone's hearts.

And after that, the government had sent people to try to move the statue, but it was like the sword of the hero or the hammer of the god of thunder that could never be pulled out, firmly and tightly nailed to the ground. No matter how many large machines were dispatched, they could not shake it, and even moving the ground under the statue was impossible.

The heroic stance, still firm...

This bizarre phenomenon added fuel to the urban legends that were gradually becoming popular, causing a great uproar.

So far, more than ten days had passed, and the human statue still stood in place, motionless.

"Master..."

Xiang looked at that familiar face and muttered to herself.

Just looking at her expression, there didn't seem to be much surprise, as if she had known about this long ago.

"Xiang..." Feng Mingyi took a deep breath and couldn't help but touch the girl's head to comfort her. "Liaozi has already rushed over yesterday. Believe in her; she will definitely save your master."

Do you know about synchronicity... Experts in heretical technology from all over the world set out one after another.

The target was the "thing falling from the sky" in Lundun, at the zero time zone!

All kinds of countermeasures, policies, and plans were discussed around this strange thing.

Xiang nodded, but her mind couldn't help but recall the reminder Jia Ji left her in the group on the day the "Golden Transmutation" incident happened.

Leaving the final words here.

【Forever Seventeen: Speaking of which, there seems to be a craze for subduing yokai recently. Even though most of them are guys who overestimate themselves, they come to die every day... Ah, so troublesome! Let Lan go and finish them all off】

【Snow Woman: Recently, there have also been some annoying guys surrounding me every day, and I can't drive them away...】

【Shana: Do even yokai and demons have such troubles?】

【Queen of Ice: The Empire, it's dirty again... Does everyone want to see their end?】

【Yinyang Yan Jianzi: Don't, I'm soft-hearted and can't bear to look at those】

Everyone in the group chatted enthusiastically, and Xiang would occasionally talk about the troubles she encountered, such as conflicts accidentally caused between friends, her longing for the two seniors in the Second Division, being scolded for staying up late watching anime, and her worry about her master who was traveling far away...

Just as she mentioned that she always felt uneasy recently, Jia Ji appeared.

【Da Mengshen: Regret still exists in this life / Offering the Beidou body without fatigue / Meeting again in the next life】

【Yinyang Yan Jianzi: Jia Ji=SAN, why did you suddenly post a haiku in the communication channel?】

【Nagato Great God: Next life?】

【Lanyuan Yanzhu: What! Is Brother Jia Ji going to die?! I don't want that kind of thing!】

【Angel after death: Will the soul after death come to the world after death (looking forward)】

【Shana: What the hell happened, explain clearly (っ`-c)】

【Da Mengshen: Long story short, I met an alchemist. Now my body has turned into gold and fallen under the huge bronze bell of the Thames in Lundun, unable to move, and I am about to lose consciousness】

【Forever Seventeen: You guy are really unlucky... If I were there, I could definitely help you solve it easily with the power of the boundary】

【Da Mengshen: Haha, what's the use of saying these comforting words now? If I transfer away now, the spell that has lost its target will probably continue to fall... @Xiang, only you can save me now. Even if you have to punch—】

【Da Mengshen: Everyone, Sayonara!】

【Xiang: Ah, Master, why do you have to punch? Punch whom, how to do it? I don't understand, can you explain it more clearly!】

【Xiang: Master?】

【Xiang: Hey?!】

Since then, the number of active members in the group has temporarily decreased by one.

Although everyone in the group was laughing and joking, as if his situation was very common and had happened more than once, Xiang couldn't put her heart at ease no matter what.

He had completely lost contact, why was no one worried?

"And now, only I can help Master..."

Compared to the previous small girl's worries, a greater worry was placed in front of Tachibana Hibiki, who had just become a battle maiden. She spread her hands and looked at her palms.

"But I don't understand punching or anything at all!"
