Chapter 339: Unknown Major

Situjun's face became flushed from excitement and fervor.

I never expected Lu Jing to have grown to this extent, beating the eleventh-level lord-level aberrant beast into constant retreat.

On Lu Jing, Situjun seemed to see the light of hope he had long awaited!

A peerless martial seedling with infinite possibilities and boundless potential!

"Lord Seat, with Lu Jing here, this lord-level aberrant beast shouldn't cause any major disturbance."

Dong Ningxue stood behind Situjun and let out a long breath.

"Hmm, let the warriors not return yet, lest they be hurt by the aftermath; the real battle has probably just begun."

Situjun's expression was somewhat complex.

The combat power displayed by Lu Jing's punch just now had already reached a height that even he found terrifying.

Eastern Military Region Third Command Department.

A white-haired old man in a military-green overcoat was listening to several senior generals reporting information before him.

"How's Situjun's side? Did the reinforcements we sent arrive?"

"Commander Xia, the several field-grade reinforcements we sent out are still on the road, but......"

The middle-aged man said, his expression somewhat hesitant, as if something incomprehensible had happened.

"But what? Reporting work, why are you hemming and hawing like a woman!"

Xiahou Jie rose from his chair, a massive pressure descending onto the man.

Instantly, like a thousand-ton boulder pressing down, the marble floor emitted creaking sounds of being overloaded.

"Sorry, Commander...... Situjun said no reinforcements were needed; they have a way to deal with the lord-level aberrant beast over there......"

The man's body tensed slightly, and clear cracks appeared beneath his feet.

While resisting the pressure on him, he struggled to explain, "I was just wondering why Situjun would make such a decision."

The pressure in the air suddenly eased; Xiahou Jie raised his brows and spoke loudly: "What's that brat Situjun up to? I went through great trouble to send troops his way, they were almost there and now he doesn't need them—is he playing me?"

The message Situjun sent when requesting aid said a spirit-system lord-level aberrant beast had appeared, describing it as extremely terrifying; yet shortly after, he claimed he could handle it himself—how could that not be puzzling?

Just as Xiahou Jie was pondering......

"Commander, the troops sent to reinforce Situjun have arrived and are applying to connect with headquarters!"

"Connect!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man took a notebook-sized device, operated it, and a video window popped up.

On the screen appeared Colonel Ji Tianzong, whom Xiahou Jie had dispatched for support.

Beside Ji Tianzong were Situjun, Dong Ningxue, and a few others; looking at their disheveled state, they seemed to have just gone through a major battle.

"Ji Tianzong, what's the situation over there? Weren't you said a lord-level aberrant beast had appeared? How does Situjun still have time to chat with you here?!"

Xiahou Jie frowned and asked loudly.

Ji Tianzong first glanced up at the sky, then said with a strange expression: "Commander Xia, a lord-level aberrant beast has indeed appeared here, and it's spirit-system, but it's been suppressed by a major under Situjun's command."

"What did you say?"

Xiahou Jie's expression turned incredulous, then he pressed: "What kind of joke are you pulling on me? An eleventh-level spirit-system aberrant beast—can a major really withstand it?"

Before Ji Tianzong could reply, Situjun stepped forward from the side and adjusted the angle of the video communication device.

"Roar——"

At the same time, a resonant dragon roar rang out.

As the view was lifted, a colossal beast's claw appeared—just the claw alone took up half the screen, enough for everyone to imagine its enormous true form.

"This size is fine for an eleventh-level lord; you should adjust the camera angle—otherwise we can't see where that major is at all!"

Xiahou Jie's gaze focused on the screen, searching for that major's figure.

Soon the screen shook again, then steadied.

On the left side was a ferocious lord-level evil dragon, while opposite it stood a lone human figure.

Time rewound to five minutes earlier.

We had thought the one battling the lord-level evil dragon in the sky was Situjun, but upon getting closer we discovered someone else.

It turned out to be a youth who looked no older than eighteen or nineteen!

Only see the youth clench his fist into a punch, striking the dragon's head with thunderous force.

This punch struck the consciousness level; superficially it seemed to cause little damage, but in fact the evil dragon had already suffered heavy injury, staggering as if about to fall to the ground.

This punch directly struck the consciousness layer; although it appeared to cause little damage on the surface, in fact the evil dragon had already suffered heavy wounds, staggering and about to fall to the ground.

Just as the evil dragon was about to hit the ground, it barely managed to flap its wings and take off again, its eyes toward the youth full of fear and incomprehension.

Just as the evil dragon was about to fall to the ground, it barely managed to flap its wings and take off again, its eyes toward the youth filled with fear and bewilderment.

Ji Tianzong then realized what had happened and hurried to find Situjun to learn the situation.

Upon learning that Lu Jing was a spirit-system talent-endowed, he suddenly understood, yet was even more astonished.

His sudden understanding came from realizing why this punch had such power, because spiritual power is invisible and intangible yet truly existent.

His astonishment stemmed from being shocked by Lu Jing's youth......

Almost as the lord-level evil dragon rose again, the youth's figure moved.

The astonishment flashing in the eyes of countless onlookers paled in comparison to even a fraction of the light emanating from the vertical pupil between the youth's brows.

Tracing that light inward, it was the diamond-shaped humanoid formed by the condensation of spiritual power in Lu Jing's mind.

At that moment, the diamond figurine assumed the same punching pose as Lu Jing.

Spiritual power and fist intent deeply combined, producing a strange reaction and change.

Spiritual power and Fist Intent deeply combined, producing strange reactions and changes.

The power of this punch is even greater than before!

"Watch me shatter your Lord-level dragon scale armor with my bare fists!"

Lu Jing let out a long whistle, and from a free-fall posture in the air, he surged straight down.

His right fist plunged forward amidst the booming sonic boom, like a meteor falling...

The Lord-level Evil Dragon released an illusory beast to block in front of it, but it only lasted a few breaths before being completely shattered into powder.

Boom—

Collapse!

Shatter!

"Roar—"

This dragon's roar no longer held its former dignity; instead, it was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shrill beyond compare.

The Evil Dragon, already severely wounded spiritually, was now blown apart by this punch, its flesh torn and scales flying.

This sight caused Ji Tianzong's pupils to contract sharply several times.

He never imagined that the battle would turn out to be such a one-sided crush.

That boy's Martial Way realm must be below the Martial Marquis Realm, meaning he crushed this Lord-level exotic beast with sheer mental power alone!

Shock!

Bewilderment!

It was as unbelievable as seeing a ghost in broad daylight, even causing a hint of fear and dread to arise in Ji Tianzong's heart.

Exactly, it is fear and dread!
