Chapter 156: Embarking on This Path

Jiang City was full of smoke everywhere, especially the Guanshan District, which had many lakes and was a disaster area.

In just a few minutes, Li Yuan arrived at the Nanhu Starfire residential area with Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.

The entire residential area, along with the Starry Sky residential area further away, was exceptionally quiet.

Because, above the two residential areas, one could see at least a hundred combat drones hovering, many of which were heavy drones... and there was even more hidden power.

Like the villa in his own home, there was a drone and two combat robots stationed there all year round... As one of the top residential areas in Jiang City, the defense power was also top-notch.

This was just the protection of the mechanical army. In the residential area itself, there were no telling how many high-level martial artists or Source martial artists at home.

Therefore.

As long as the Fish-Spirit Race "commander" wasn't stupid, after so many years of probing, they wouldn't come to attack these two residential areas.

The aircraft he was on was summoned by Li Yuan through the Martial Hall's L6-level authorization, and it was automatically identified.

It landed rapidly on the villa lawn.

"Qianqian, Muhua." Aunt Chen Hui, who had already received the news, rushed out of the room immediately.

"Mom."

Li Qianqian and Li Muhua also jumped off the aircraft and rushed toward Chen Hui.

Li Zhangzhou walked out of the villa later; as a father, he was always more steady: "I said, with Xiao Yuan here, Qianqian and the others would be fine."

"Mom, you don't know, just now Big Brother was so amazing, he killed many Fish-Spirit Race warriors," Li Muhua couldn't help but say: "Especially the last one that came out, the teacher said it was at least level 18, and it was actually defeated by Big Brother."

"Level 18?" Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan nervously.

"Level 18 Fish-Spirit Race?" Li Zhangzhou was also shocked in his heart.

Ordinary people might not have enough strength, but the country has various education, special training, and avoidance training all year round... which makes them very clear about the strength of Star Realm creatures at various levels.

Level 18, in the country's propaganda, is already something that must be killed by high-level martial artists or a combination of large amounts of thermal weapons.

Just like that Fish-Spirit Race high-level warrior killed by Li Yuan.

If it hadn't been entangled by Li Yuan first, and then laid out a "crossfire network" by a large number of combat drones in an open area, it would never have been so easily killed.

"Uncle, don't listen to Muhua and the others talking nonsense," Li Yuan said: "I just entangled the opponent, and it was finally killed by the drone."

"That's also amazing, Xiao Yuan... you have truly grown up," Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan with quite a bit of emotion.

Having only been in university for half a year, Li Yuan's strength had transformed to this level?

Li Zhangzhou came out of Jiangbei Martial Arts University, so he naturally understood what this meant.

Of course, over the past half year, Li Yuan would occasionally chat with his uncle and aunt about his recent situation during communications, so Li Zhangzhou and the others weren't too surprised.

Kunlun Martial Arts University is a "top university" in their hearts.

A top genius from a top university—isn't it normal to be amazing?

"Uncle, Aunt, you guys go into the house first, I'm going to the underground martial arts room," Li Yuan said.

*Whoosh! *

With a movement of his figure, Li Yuan flew over dozens of meters and entered the underground martial arts room.

*Clang~* The sealed weapon wall slowly descended, revealing various weapons, helmets, armor, combat boots, etc., that were laid out.

They were all actual combat weapons.

"I carry the Source Power Battle Suit with me, but as long as it is activated, it is too conspicuous," Li Yuan pondered slightly.

He quickly put on a full set of "Tier-1 Upper Grade" battle armor, helmet, and combat boots.

And pants made of extremely tough special materials, which even high-level martial artists couldn't tear.

In the blink of an eye.

Li Yuan was fully armed, with only half of his face exposed.

"This way."

"With full armor covering, even if I activate the Source Power Battle Suit, it can't be seen from the outside," Li Yuan thought to himself.

The Source Power Battle Suit is skin-tight, like nanomaterials, activated by Source Power.

Under normal circumstances, use armor for defense, and activate the battle suit at a critical moment... double defense means Li Yuan's ability to save his life soars by a large margin.

The only flaw is that wearing two layers of armor makes flexibility slightly worse.

"If the Fish-Spirit Race warriors have fourth-stage skills, they definitely wouldn't be willing to be cannon fodder, so the impact is not big," Li Yuan pondered.

He had specifically searched for information about the "Fish-Spirit Star Realm" in the Starfire Martial Hall's database.

He was very clear about some conventions.

"Finally." Li Yuan's gaze fell on that pitch-black long spear.

The whole body was made of alloy.

This was a weapon specifically prepared by the Starfire Martial Hall for Li Yuan's life-and-death roaming.

The cost was 18 million Blue Star coins!

The spearhead and blade were indestructible; a slight exertion of force would easily pierce through ordinary steel, but the metal spear body had extremely strong toughness, comparable to a wooden spear shaft.

This was added with some very special heavenly treasure minerals, giving it a "memory" function.

Most importantly, it was a Source weapon that could carry Source Power infusion.

Like ordinary long spears, once Source Power was infused, they would explode with a boom.

"Heichen!" Li Yuan revealed a smile; this was the name he gave the long spear.

Heichen Spear, weighing 420 kilograms, was a weapon extremely suitable for Li Yuan now.

*Whoosh! *

Li Yuan reached out and grasped the weapon, but the cold spear body seemed to inject a surge of heroism into Li Yuan's heart.

"Heichen."

"Today, I will take you to see some blood," Li Yuan muttered to himself, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

*Whoosh! * With a movement of his figure, Li Yuan floated out of the basement and arrived on the first floor.

In the living room.

The whole family looked in shock at Li Yuan, who was fully armed, as if he were a warrior about to go to the battlefield.

"Xiao Yuan, what is this?" Chen Hui couldn't help but ask.

"Aunt, I'm preparing to report to the City Patrol Team," Li Yuan said.

"You are only a freshman, you don't have to go," Chen Hui couldn't help but say; she was very clear about the policy.

Li Yuan was about to explain.

"Go," Li Zhangzhou suddenly opened his mouth, a smile on his face: "Be careful, don't be too reckless. Killing alien races is important, but first, protect yourself."

"Good," Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"Hurry up, don't worry about home, the entire Nanhu Starfire residential area is the safest," Li Zhangzhou urged instead.

Chen Hui was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Zhangzhou's look.

"Uncle, Aunt, then I'm leaving," Li Yuan didn't say any more.

Every second delayed.

Under the Fish-Spirit Race disaster, the casualties would increase by one point.

*Whoosh! *

Li Yuan rushed out of the room, leaped onto the aircraft that had been hovering outside, and flew up rapidly, rushing toward the distance.

Inside the villa.

"How could you..." Chen Hui had only said four words when her voice became smaller and smaller.

Because Li Zhangzhou had already held her hand and just smiled.

Chen Hui understood most of it in her heart.

"From the moment Xiao Yuan was admitted to Kunlun Martial Arts University and completely embarked on this path, this day would come sooner or later," Li Zhangzhou said softly: "We both know it in our hearts, don't we?"

"I understand," Chen Hui's eyes were slightly red: "It's just that this came too fast."

"He is still just a child, he just turned 18 a few months ago," Chen Hui's voice even had a trace of choking.

In her heart, Li Yuan had clearly not grown up for long.

Li Zhangzhou was silent for a moment before sighing lightly: "But he is already a martial artist."

Suddenly.

"Mom, Dad, look quickly," Li Qianqian pointed to the "Star Realm Channel" on the light screen in the distance that was playing the news.

"The Fish-Spirit Tide has suddenly erupted in Jiangbei Province, and Jiang City is the disaster area that encountered the attack," the host's voice was low and even carried a trace of choking: "Now, it is estimated that over 24,000 people have died... The number of Fish-Spirit Race warriors is conservatively estimated to be over 10,000... The casualties are very tragic, but our warriors, our martial artists."

"Are also fighting hard."

"Below are a few battle videos we just obtained, all of which just happened."

*Whoosh~*

The screen changed, and a black-haired youth had already appeared, fighting against a large number of Fish-Spirit Race warriors against the flow of people, holding a short blade, as one Fish-Spirit Race warrior after another fell... "According to the news we received, this powerful martial artist is named Li Yuan, a freshman at Kunlun Martial Arts University, and also a genius martial artist of our human race," the host said excitedly: "He alone killed at least over 20 Fish-Spirit Race warriors and saved at least hundreds of lives..."

"He!!"

"He has been able to fight a level 19 Fish-Spirit Race warrior and finally killed it with the cooperation of the mechanical army... Li Yuan! He is only 18 years old and has such strength; he is absolutely the top genius of our Xia Nation," the host said passionately: "I heard he came from a poor background, received a lot of funding, and received a 'Young Hero' commendation in his third year of high school."

"Now, he is still a teenager!"

"But he is even more of a hero!"

... In front of the light screen.

"This?" Li Zhangzhou was shocked.

"Xiao Yuan? Qianqian, this is the battle your brother just experienced," Chen Hui was full of lingering fear, her heart trembling.

"Right," Li Qianqian nodded.

... Not just Li Zhangzhou's family, countless people across the Xia Nation were paying attention to the "Fish-Spirit Tide" in Jiang City right now; this was a great disaster.

And with the broadcast of the video on the program, many people remembered Li Yuan's name.

Of course.

There were not only Li Yuan in the program, but also many battle videos of powerful martial artists... most of them had just happened, and some were even live battle broadcasts that were happening right now.

Jiang City, Provincial Television Station.

"The casualties are very tragic, and the battle is still continuing," the middle-aged man wearing glasses said softly: "We now need heroes to boost the morale of all the people."

"To inspire the hot blood in many people's hearts."

"Continue broadcasting."

"Call on more martial artists to stand up and fight," the middle-aged man said: "Only in this way can this disaster be cleared up faster."

"Especially martial arts geniuses like Li Yuan, we must focus on digging them out."

"Remember."

"We are not on the front line here, but this is another battlefield," the middle-aged man's voice was solemn.

"Yes," many staff members said nervously, and there was also a surge of hot blood in their hearts.

They wanted to make some contributions.

*Whoosh! *

Li Yuan didn't know that he was on a video program. He sat on the aircraft and arrived rapidly at a "reporting point" outside the Nanhu Starfire residential area.

There were already quite a few people here.

"Someone else came."

"Enough, there are ten people now," many people were already shouting loudly.

*Whoosh! * Li Yuan leaped down.

"It's Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan." Many people recognized Li Yuan and revealed looks of surprise. Most of the people who came here were Starfire Martial Hall martial artists, and many had seen Li Yuan and heard of this "A-level contract" genius.

"Good! Li Yuan."

The martial artist guarding the point had eyes that lit up slightly: "This temporary ten-person team, you will be the captain."
