Chapter 150
"It still caused a large number of casualties."
"One of the bases was one that we from Blue Star often went to."
Pang Yun said with some fear, "That terrifying power caused the disaster to descend in an instant!"
"Although the base issued a warning, those below the Star Rank Lord level didn't have time to react in advance!"
"Even Star Rank Lords found it hard to survive."
"Among them were Ling Chen's older brother, father, uncles..."
"The Ling family had a total of 123 people who died on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, and not a single one managed to escape."
"Ling Chen received the news the next morning while he was in the High-level zone battlefield."
"Upon receiving this news, he went insane and chose the 100-person challenge in the High-level zone."
"It was his main mentor who sensed that things would go wrong and kept persuading Ling Chen."
"Only then did Ling Chen finally wake up and initiate an emergency teleportation to return."
"But even after waking up, he was seriously injured and is now unconscious in the Primordial Realm's repair space."
After hearing Pang Yun finish, Zhao Xing's heart felt heavy.
Yes, anyone who encountered such a blow
would likely find it hard to accept.
123 relatives, including his beloved older brother, father, and uncles...
Hearing this news suddenly, who could handle it?
"The Ling family is likely going to decline..." Pang Yun sighed, "Without the support of family powerhouses, all that wealth and resources..."
Pang Yun didn't continue, but Zhao Xing understood what he was saying.
The Ling family was originally one of the top 1000 big families on Blue Star, with many industries and groups under their name.
But now, the Ling family's main combat power had died on the battlefield.
Leaving behind orphans and widows to manage such a large family business, it was likely they wouldn't be able to hold it up at all.
Ling Chen's talent was good, but he was only a High-level Lord.
A genius is, after all, just a genius; they cannot be counted as a powerhouse. A powerhouse capable of supporting a family must be at least Extraordinary Grade.
In a world where the strong are respected, whether a family is doing business or developing influence... what matters most is the number of powerhouses!
If there are many powerhouses, naturally many people are willing to give face, and there is no shortage of business coming to their door.
For example, Zhao Xing; he only revealed his talent in the Primordial Realm, and Chen Wenshan, the special envoy of the Jiangnan District, rushed to promote his parents.
Or like the old principal, who personally took his younger sister as a disciple.
He also made many connections in the Primordial Realm... all this was because he was considered outstanding among these geniuses.
But once the Ling family has no powerhouses,
I'm afraid it will decline very quickly.
The resources originally obtained because of strength will also be lost because of weakness.
Those enemies will likely all take advantage of the situation to loot.
"Is there no other way for the Ling family?" Zhao Xing asked.
"I don't know," Pang Yun said with a bitter smile, "I'm a rough person, I don't like to understand those conspiracies and tricks, I only like to study machinery..."
"But I've heard my elders mention many things at home."
"To kill someone, you don't necessarily need a knife!"
"Just by using some commercial means, one can force someone to their death in broad daylight."
"That Mechanical-race Sunlight Grade Lord's attack caused many families on our Blue Star to suffer heavy losses."
"Many members of our Jialan Academy are now emotionally unstable."
"Many families?" Zhao Xing asked, "Is it more than just the Ling family?"
"Yes," Pang Yun said with lingering fear, "My two uncles were originally at those three bases, but they happened to be out on an operation and escaped a disaster."
"That damn Mechanical-race Lord!"
"Willing to risk being killed to attack the Empire's bases, he directly abandoned three powerful troops; he must have paid a price."
"But it also caused over 100 million casualties across the three bases!"
"Our Blue Star has over ten thousand people on this list of casualties."
"Even several Star Rank Lords died."
Zhao Xing was silent. He also knew the battlefield was cruel, but he didn't expect it to be this cruel.
Even Star Rank Lords could die.
"Our Blue Star doesn't have a powerful Planet Lord, only eighteen administrators. I'm afraid that in the future, when these families are bullied, they will only be able to endure it."
"Forget it, why talk about this, we can't even get out..." Pang Yun shook his head and said, "I'm going to notify others."
"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Also, regarding Ling Chen, if he needs points to exchange for anything for treatment, let me know."
"Will do," Pang Yun said, "I'll pass it on."
…………
The attack on the SS-grade base didn't cause much of a stir in the Primordial Realm.
After all, it was just one of the bases, and the geniuses came from different star systems.
They hadn't seen news like this before.
If it didn't happen in their own hometown, they wouldn't take it to heart at all.
But Zhao Xing's heart felt heavy.
He always felt he had overlooked something.
It wasn't until the intelligent light brain sent a notification that Zhao Xing was suddenly startled.
This was a message sent by Anping Academy to the public area.
Finally, it was sent to Zhao Xing through the super-brain core.
【Trainee Zhao Xing, your main mentor has been changed, and the authority of the main mentor will be taken over by Anping Academy Principal 'Zhang Tianming'.】
This was just a routine reminder, intended to inform the trainee.
In case of any accident on the Glory Battlefield, it would be clear which mentor would handle his treasures, then notify his relatives, and so on.
Previously, Zhao Xing's main mentor had always been Fang Qingxue.
Now that it had suddenly changed.
Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't even had time to think about what to do.
Zhang Tianming, the principal of Anping Academy, took the initiative to contact Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing, your main mentor position will be concurrently held by me for the time being."
Zhang Tianming had graying whiskers; he was a Star Rank Lord, but he had already passed his peak period.
At this moment, there was also a faint sorrow between his brows.
"Principal." Zhao Xing said with a trembling voice, "Did something happen to Qingxue... to her family?"
Zhang Tianming was silent for a moment before nodding.
"You should already know what happened yesterday. Many families on our Blue Star have encountered changes."
"A Sunlight Grade Mechanical Lord, at the cost of losing three of his own Imperial-grade mechanical troops, launched a suicide attack on three bases."
Zhang Tianming clearly knew more details, and his aged voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Including one SS base and two S bases."
"Although the bases issued a warning immediately, they were still breached for one second."
"After the incident, the Empire had three Sunlight Grade Lords pursue him, but they only managed to leave behind his Imperial-grade mechanical troops."
"In that disaster."
"On our Blue Star, 32 Star Rank Lords died, 15 were injured, and thousands of Extraordinary Grade ones died."
"Fang Qingxue's family was caught in the middle of it."
"The 2 Star Rank Lords of the Fang family were her father and eldest brother."
"The other brothers and uncles, these direct descendants, were Extraordinary Grade. A total of 175 people."
"When the disaster occurred, those 175 Extraordinary clan members were at another base, and without Star Rank Lord protection, only 8 survived."
"Her father was at the SS-grade base and was luckier; he initiated an A-grade spaceship immediately and took several sons to escape."
"However, the situation is not optimistic."
