The Dire Situation in Jiangnan City (Please Follow and Vote~)

"You're right, Chief. After I absorbed Cosmic Energy for the first time, my mind suddenly felt much clearer. The Chronic Headache Condition I used to suffer from has never acted up since then." Yang Yu looked at the elderly chief, whose hair was gray but whose presence was imposing.

Judging from Wang Ying'an's tone, there were probably quite a few Martial Artists in Huaxia's military who could absorb and refine Cosmic Energy. That was the only way they could possess such data. He had also remained calm when Yang Yu, only eighteen years old, displayed strength far beyond ordinary imagination.

At least, he appeared calm on the surface.

That meant there were already geniuses comparable to Yang Yu, or perhaps even stronger ones!

I wonder how strong Hong and Thor are now. Half a year has passed. With their talent, it wouldn't be impossible for them to have reached War God level already, Yang Yu thought.

With the destructive power of a War God, facing Advanced Beast Generals or Monsters that had just entered Lord Level one-on-one in actual combat, their battle performance would not be inferior to Yang Yu's previous fight.

As a high-ranking leader in Huaxia's military, it was only natural for Wang Ying'an to possess such knowledge.

These matters might have been secrets to ordinary people, but to people like them, they were merely routine information.

In the Original Work, Huaxia had withstood the Monsters' attacks and swiftly organized a counteroffensive. That was not solely thanks to Hong and Thor.

The vast number of middle- and lower-ranking Martial Artists, along with countless Soldiers who feared neither hardship nor death, had also been crucial.

"Little Yang, you're outstanding. Are you willing to join us and defend Jiangnan City together?" After laying the groundwork for a while, Wang Ying'an finally voiced what he truly wanted to say.

"Don't worry, Little Yang. As long as you agree to join, you'll immediately be awarded the rank of colonel! You can choose to lead troops into battle, or fight freely like Jia Yi."

"A colonel..." Yang Yu fell silent upon hearing that. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Chief, but I won't be joining the military for now. I'm still young, and I'm not suited to leading troops in battle. Besides, my focus right now is hunting powerful Monsters to temper myself and improve my Martial Way Realm."

"I hope you can understand, Chief. Rest assured, even if I don't join the military, I'll still devote myself wholeheartedly to the defense of Jiangnan City."

"Sigh, I knew it would be like this." Wang Ying'an sighed. "Jia Yi is the same. Born into a Martial Way family, he isn't interested in the military or politics either."

"You're so young, Little Yang, yet you already possess such strength. I imagine your heart is wholly devoted to the Martial Way as well. Fine, it's alright if you don't wish to join for now. If you ever do, you can join at any time, just like Jia Yi. And I guarantee that both of you will start at least as colonels the moment you join!"

"The stronger you become and the greater your military achievements, the higher your rank will be! This is a promise from me, Wang Ying'an, and the will of Huaxia's entire military. This is how we treat all Freelance Martial Artists!"

Although the Monsters' large-scale assaults on cities had only lasted a few days,

many civilian Experts had already emerged across Huaxia and voluntarily joined the resistance against the Monsters.

Among them were many renowned Martial Way masters and powerful individuals.

It was precisely because of people like them that the powerful Monster Commanders capable of withstanding modern weapons could be slain, reinforcing the cities' defensive lines.

This had also led Huaxia's military to open the door wide for these powerful and patriotic Martial Artists.

In a racial war of survival and death, one could often see the integrity and sense of responsibility of a nation and its people.

Whenever Huaxia faced such peril, countless exceptional geniuses would rise to the occasion and turn the tide!

They would save the nation and its people from disaster.

"Little Yang, these are a Specialized War Blade and shield urgently made specifically for you. They use the latest technology and incorporate some precious Monster materials as well."

At that moment, an Orderly approached carrying a pile of equipment, including a full Combat Suit, a Combat Vest, a Specialized Watch, and more.

Wang Ying'an took them and solemnly handed them to Yang Yu.

"Thank you, Chief. This is exactly what I need right now." Yang Yu happily accepted the equipment. He especially liked the War Blade. Its pale violet blade and hilt, along with a design nearly identical to his old War Blade, won him over at a glance.

Although his old War Blade had been made from materials at the peak of civilian standards, it could barely endure a single high-intensity battle.

Even saying it had endured was inaccurate. By the time he killed the Rat King, that War Blade, forged from alloy and refined steel, had already become chipped and curled.

Afterward, when he killed those Beast Soldier Level rats, the blade curled even more severely. In the end, Yang Yu had hacked a War Blade into a stick.

It no longer looked like a blade at all.

However, with the transformation of his Fist Technique and Shield Technique afterward, dealing with those insignificant Mutated Rats took no effort at all.

The instant Yang Yu held the violet War Blade and shield, he could tell that both their weight and feel far surpassed his previous weapon.

"This blade weighs at least two hundred kilograms! The shield is excellent too." Yang Yu estimated the blade's rough weight as soon as he took hold of it.

After casually swinging it, Yang Yu felt that this War Blade had practically been custom-made for him. "The War Blade fits perfectly! Now I can fully unleash my strength."

"Haha, after seeing your battle, we immediately mobilized half our logistics force. At the newly built arms factory, we ran at full capacity to perfectly replicate the style of the War Blade and shield in your hands at a one-to-one scale. Then, based on your physical data, we carefully forged this War Blade for you. We also added top-grade materials capable of fighting a Monster Commander without being damaged."

Seeing how much Yang Yu liked the War Blade, Wang Ying'an was delighted. He briefly explained the weapon's origins.

But Yang Yu knew that the Monster Commanders Wang Ying'an spoke of were actually Beast General Level Monsters. This War Blade would serve him for a while, but as the Monsters grew stronger, his weapons would need to be upgraded as well.

"Thank you very much, Chief, and thank the friends at the arms factory as well. With this blade, killing Monsters will be much easier."

"I'm glad you like it."

"Report, Chief! A Monster Commander has appeared in the Southern Theater and is destroying the defensive line there. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and the rear defensive line is in imminent danger as well. Their temporary command post is requesting support!"

Just as Wang Ying'an and Yang Yu were talking, a Worker hurried over from the side to report.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yu immediately turned toward the large screen beside him.

Sure enough, a giant Pig-type Monster appeared there. It was seven or eight meters long, and when standing upright, it was as tall as a one- or two-story building.

This enormous wild boar was covered in pale red scales, and three sharply curved horns jutted forward from its head!

"Fire-Scaled Trident Pig!"

Yang Yu recognized it. It was the number one Monster among Pig-type Monsters. He had not expected to encounter it so soon.

At that moment, the Fire-Scaled Trident Pig, whose strength had reached at least Intermediate Beast General level, was slaughtering ordinary Soldiers. Behind it were quite a few Pig-type Monsters of ordinary strength.

On the screen, ordinary Heavy Machine Guns and artillery shells could not even break through its scales. If they fired higher-grade missiles, setting aside whether they could kill it, the collateral damage to their own side would be difficult to bear.

Meanwhile, Jia Yi was still fighting desperately to kill Monsters in another area and could not make it over in time.

Realizing the situation was urgent, Yang Yu immediately stood up.

"I'll deal with it!"
