Chapter 490

Navy personnel who received the news flocked eagerly to the No. 1 Training Ground.

When they arrived at the No. 1 Training Ground,

the scene before them…

instantly left them frozen in shock, gaping in disbelief.

The No. 1 Training Ground, once intact and whole,

the largest training ground in the Navy Headquarters,

was now

riddled with countless holes and ruins.

Not a single patch remained unbroken.

Looking all around,

ruins and debris sprawled everywhere.

Smoke rose in all directions,

the land was a wasteland of devastation,

utterly unrecognizable.

This scene was crystal-clear to every navy soldier present.

A chilling coldness surged instantly from their soles to the crown of their heads.

Their hair stood on end,

they were seized by icy dread!

Navy Headquarters,

No. 1 Training Ground.

Many navy soldiers had gathered here.

At this moment,

they stood frozen in shock.

"W-what the hell?!"

"What happened here? How could the entire training ground be destroyed like this?!"

"Is this really the No. 1 Training Ground? Or some ruin—?"

A group of navy soldiers were dumbfounded.

In their memory,

the No. 1 Training Ground was the largest training facility, a special site reserved for training elite navy personnel.

Yet in the blink of an eye,

what they saw was a training ground reduced to ruins and debris.

"Good heavens…"

"Could such devastation truly have been caused by a battle between two people?"

"Could a battle between two people really cause such terrifying destruction? Are you sure?"

"Unbelievable!"

"What kind of monster could have caused such horrific damage?"

The navy soldiers were deeply moved and visibly shaken.

They stared blankly at the ruined training ground.

"A battle between two people?"

Wherever their eyes turned, they saw only shattered, pockmarked traces of destruction.

Not a single area remained intact.

The earth cracked open,

the surface collapsed.

Looking in every direction…

all that remained were ruins and debris.

Gulp!

All navy soldiers involuntarily swallowed hard.

"I'm starting to believe it now."

"That Lu En guy might really be a monster!"

"If his battle with Master Zefa turned the No. 1 Training Ground into this shattered ruin, then I have to admit—Lu En really possesses terrifying combat power."

"Otherwise, Master Zefa could have won right at the start—why would he have caused such severe damage to the training ground?"

"If it had been a one-sided crushing victory, such massive destruction would never have occurred."

Clearly,

the clash between both sides must have been extremely fierce to leave behind such an unrecognizable ruin.

As they said this,

the navy soldiers were shaken to their core.

One navy soldier's lips trembled slightly, and he blurted out unconsciously: "So… Lu En, who is only five years old, really fought Master Zefa to a standstill?!"

"At the very least…"

"He truly may have briefly held his own against Master Zefa!"

"Otherwise, the ruins here wouldn't be this shattered and severe."

The entire venue erupted!

"My heavens!"

"A mere five-year-old brat can actually fight Admiral Zefa to a standstill?"

After seeing the devastated ruins of Training Ground One,

no Marine present could deny Lu En's overwhelming combat power any longer.

Hearing about it is deceptive,

seeing it with one's own eyes is the truth.

Seeing the wreckage of Training Ground One, they could no longer doubt the terrifying extent of Lu En's combat power.

If Lu En hadn't been fighting Zefa to a standstill, he could never have left such devastation across the ground.

Obviously.

The battle those two erupted into must have been extraordinarily fierce.

Therefore.

Only then could it have left the widespread scorched ruins before their eyes.

Spanning a radius of over a thousand meters around Training Ground One…

devastation everywhere!

This alone is enough to prove everything.

"Just now, I learned from several cadets."

"Lu En, only five years old, fought Admiral Zefa head-on for a full half hour without falling behind in the slightest."

"Which means…"

"Lu En, for a time, possesses the terrifying combat power to stand against an Admiral head-on!"

"This level of combat power is in no way inferior to a Vice Admiral."

"Simply put."

"Lu En, this monster, truly possesses Vice Admiral-level combat power! And a top-tier one among Vice Admirals at that!"

Absolutely, conclusively nailed down!

On this day,

Marine Headquarters, quite unusually, welcomed an unprecedented, earth-shaking sensation.

Marines who were striving to climb the ranks, yearning to pursue the position of Vice Admiral—when they learned of this news.
