Excellent—with Itachi here, our burden is much lighter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia nodded and asked, “Colonel, what’s the current situation in Canglan City? How large is this beast tide?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel sighed and said, “It’s dire. This beast tide isn’t just massive—it includes a wide variety of aberrant beasts, many of them high-rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our defenses have been breached multiple times, with heavy casualties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to our estimates, the number of low-rank aberrant beasts has already reached several thousand and continues to grow; there are three Wang-rank beasts, and one Disaster-class Beast King holding position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Several thousand?” Wang Teng exclaimed. “There’s no way we can eliminate all these aberrant beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia frowned and said, “Colonel, can we contact reinforcements from Shanhai Pass?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel shook his head. “This is the time of great calamity—every checkpoint at Shanhai Pass is short on personnel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even our own local strongholds sent their strongest to reinforce other fronts, which is why the beast tide slipped through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia spread the map on the table, his fingertip pressing firmly on the marked location of “City Center Square,” his voice resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on the aberrant beasts’ movement patterns and residual energy signatures, the rift must be here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map was covered in dense red dots representing beast concentrations, and City Center Square was the epicenter, the most densely packed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several bright red lines extended from the square toward every corner of the city, tracing the claw marks that had torn through the urban landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng leaned over the map, the black runes on his knuckles faintly glowing: “No wonder the outer beasts can’t be wiped out—they’re being continuously replenished from a source.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel stood beside them, hands clasped behind his back, his uniform still stained with fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their assessment, he immediately grabbed the radio on the table, his voice hoarse but commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All units, consolidate your lines! Assemble at City Center Square in thirty minutes. Objective: destroy the aberrant beast rift! Repeat: objective—destroy the rift!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radio crackled with a chorus of responses, mixed with the roar of gunfire and the howls of aberrant beasts, yet not a single hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia looked out the window; flashes of artillery fire lit up the night sky beyond the safe zone—soldiers buying time for the assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exchanged all his points for detonation talismans, then retrieved every single one stored in his system space and placed them into his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These detonation talismans will help the soldiers clear out the common aberrant beasts,” Jiang Xia handed the storage ring to the communications soldier beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell the frontline troops to stick them on dense clusters of beasts and detonate—keep a safe distance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communications soldier took the ring, saluted with perfect military precision, and turned to sprint out of the command post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng stepped beside Jiang Xia, the black runes on his wrist now spread to his forearm: “Three Wang-rank beasts—Itachi and I take one each, and we handle the third together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia shook his head, his left Sharingan activating silently, the red tomoe spinning rapidly within his pupil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll lead the assault. Itachi restrain it with your ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang-rank beasts have extreme defense—single combat takes too long. We must eliminate them quickly to support the Colonel against the Beast King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty minutes later, hundreds of soldiers had assembled outside City Center Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore heavy armor, their spirit-energy rifles loaded and ready, heavy artillery on the platforms aimed at the square’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and Wang Teng stood at the front of the formation; the Colonel led a dozen psychics on the flank, every face etched with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew this battle wasn’t just for Canglan City—it was to hold the first human barrier behind Shanhai Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Colonel’s command, the heavy artillery opened fire first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar was deafening; searing shells hurtled toward the beast Qun  in the square’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Continuous explosions ripped through the square, dust billowing—many low-rank aberrant beasts were instantly shredded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers charged forward, their spirit-energy rifles firing in rapid succession, blue energy beams lancing toward the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several soldiers quickly affixed Jiang Xia’s detonation talismans to the backs of a few iron-armored rhinos, then retreated swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” The talismans detonated, blue flames instantly engulfing the rhinos; the massive shockwave flung nearby beasts into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast Qun  at the square’s center descended into chaos, thousands surging toward the soldiers, claws and fangs glinting with cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth-ability soldiers formed a line, earth walls and shields flaring to block the assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from the shield edges; many soldiers were clawed and wounded, yet they gritted their teeth and held their ground, not retreating an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, three ear-splitting roars echoed from deep within the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three massive figures burst from the smoke—a fifteen-meter-long giant-toothed crocodile, its body covered in dark-green scales, jaws gaping to reveal razor-sharp fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunder-feathered eagle with a ten-meter wingspan, its wings crackling with purple lightning, talons like steel hooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a golden-furred lion, its entire body covered in golden hair, a black rune on its forehead, eyes fierce and cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Xia, the thunder-feathered eagle on the left is yours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng shouted, black runes exploding from his body into countless chains that lashed toward the golden lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden lion roared, swiped its claw, snapping the chains, and lunged at Wang Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate—he leapt into the air, his left Sharingan shifting into the Mangekyo form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kamui!” he muttered, his body instantly phasing out of existence, evading the thunder-feathered eagle’s dive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eagle, missing its strike, flapped its wings, firing three bolts of purple lightning toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s gaze hardened; his right hand condensed a Chidori, blue electricity flickering in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt upward, flying toward the eagle’s wing, driving the Chidori straight into its flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zzzzt!” Blue electricity surged through the eagle’s entire body; it shrieked in agony, its feathers charred and falling in a rain of ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, the eagle turned its head, mouth opening to unleash a massive lightning beam at Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia instantly activated Susano’o; a blue skeletal frame materialized, its arm clenching the lightning beam and splitting it in two.\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","08717532a482fb549842410bf1639f7d0915008ad88a5052e1a42347ed0ed986","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-68","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-66",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
