Monster Night Raid

"Don't worry, Brother Jia. As long as we weather this most difficult period, Martial Artists will continue to emerge in an endless stream. Combined with ever-advancing technology, it won't be hard for Huaxia to gain a foothold in these chaotic times."

Yang Yu spoke confidently.

Seeing the confidence radiating from Yang Yu's face, Jia Yi was infected by it as well. "That's right. Huaxia has always produced outstanding talents. Haven't we now produced a peerless genius like you, Xiao Yu? Who's to say more geniuses like you won't emerge in the future?"

"As long as we hold on, there will be limitless hope ahead!"

"That's right. I believe our future is bright. Things are just a little difficult for now." Wang Ying'an walked over after remotely commanding another battle.

"Some nocturnal Monsters will attack at night, and our defensive pressure will be immense then. We may need to trouble you two, Yang and Jia. Since no Monsters are attacking right now, hurry and eat and get some rest."

Under Wang Ying'an's arrangements, two rest rooms were specially partitioned off in the hall for Yang Yu and Jia Yi.

This was already exceptionally preferential treatment. Ordinary staff could only work uninterrupted eight-hour shifts before rotating out to rest.

After eating, Yang Yu and Jia Yi cultivated their Genetic Origin Energy for a while and fully recovered their vigor.

After experiencing two brutal battles, Yang Yu discovered that when his body absorbed Cosmic Energy, the amount it absorbed and refined had noticeably increased!

The increase in his punching strength from a single cultivation session was roughly thirty percent greater than before.

If he maintained this progress, his Physical Fitness alone would soon advance into the War God realm!

Then, combined with Spiritual Force at the Senior War God level, Yang Yu would be able to sweep aside nearly all Lord Level Monsters!

And that was only at his current speed.

As the intensity of the coming battles rose, Yang Yu's Cultivation Speed would definitely increase even further.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body.

After completely mastering his newly gained strength, Yang Yu checked his watch.

It was already nine thirty at night.

He arrived at the hall.

"Xiao Yu, you could rest a little longer. Usually, the peak period for Monster attacks at night is around midnight." Jia Yi smiled as he spoke.

"I've rested enough. I had nothing else to do, so I came to take a look in the hall." Yang Yu walked over, sat down, and looked at the central display.

At the moment, only sporadic Monster attacks were occurring across the various war zones. No Monsters above the Beast General Level had appeared, and the powerful firepower was more than enough to hold them back.

After all, although Monsters had greater stamina than humans, they still needed rest.

Moreover, under the dense daytime barrage, many ordinary Mutated Creatures and standard Beast Soldier Level Monsters had been wiped out.

The Beast General Level Monsters behind them also needed time to gather more ordinary Monsters.

This gave the troops a precious chance to catch their breath.

For once, the hall had calmed down, and many administrative staff began changing shifts.

"By the way, Xiao Yu, how efficient are you at absorbing and refining Cosmic Energy now? Our sect has developed the Taiji Breathing Method. It can improve efficiency by more than thirty times and greatly reduce cultivation time."

Jia Yi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said it.

In his view, if a cultivation Genius like Yang Yu was still using the most primitive method of meditative breathing, it would be far too much of a Waste Time.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Jia. By a lucky chance, I also developed a Five Elements Breathing Technique. Its efficiency is quite high too, and it fully meets my current needs." Yang Yu smiled.

"That's good. Xiao Yu, you really are a Genius. Not only did you become a Martial Way Grandmaster through self-study, you even managed to devise an efficient breathing technique on your own. Our sect gathered more than ten people to research this breathing technique, and it took us several months to develop it."

Jia Yi was deeply moved. His Master had previously told him that true geniuses could accomplish things beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The founder of Neijiaquan, Zhang Sanfeng, had been such a person, as had several later Grandmasters who refined and promoted Neijiaquan.

Therefore, Jia Yi was not overly shocked by the extent of Yang Yu's talent. Throughout history, geniuses whose performances had been even more astonishing than Yang Yu's were everywhere.

"Brother Jia, how many Martial Artists does your sect have now?" Yang Yu asked curiously.

"Not many. Including me, only thirteen. Other than my Master, who has already reached the Grandmaster realm, only my father and I have strength sufficient to contend with Monster Commanders. The rest of my fellow disciples are merely ordinary Martial Artists."

Jia Yi did not hide anything and stated it directly.

Moreover, every Martial Artist from their sect had already rushed to various cities to help defend them.

Not a single one chose to live in cowardly disgrace!

This was also the Daoist School ideal of aiding the world and bringing peace to the people: "When successful, help the whole world; when unsuccessful, cultivate oneself alone."

"Retreat into seclusion in prosperous times, descend from the mountains in troubled times!"

Now that they were the strongest, they naturally had to step forward, shoulder responsibility, and defend their homeland.

"I admire you. Given the chance, I will certainly visit your sect, Brother Jia."

Yang Yu had always deeply admired Daoist School sects like this, who cultivated in seclusion during prosperous times and descended from the mountains to save the people in chaotic times.

Besides, fighting Monsters was no joke. Due to their lack of understanding of Monsters and technological support that was nowhere near as advanced as it would be later, the casualty rate among Martial Artists was extremely high now!

Even so.

These accomplished Martial Artists still surged forward one after another, treating death as home.

It reminded Yang Yu of that red era in Huaxia's past.

Those predecessors had also held such convictions, and that was why they had defended their homeland and preserved their people's dignity.

Now, it was also time for Yang Yu to step forward.

Naturally, he would not shrink from his duty.

Yang Yu and Jia Yi talked about many things. Jia Yi's rich life experience and insights benefited Yang Yu greatly.

The more they talked, the more they hit it off, both feeling as though they had met too late.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A piercing alarm suddenly rang out.

Yang Yu and Jia Yi looked up.

A large-scale Monster invasion had appeared in the Eastern War Zone.

With only a glance, Yang Yu spotted no fewer than dozens of types of Mutated Creatures!

Wild Cats, Wild Dogs, Wild Wolves, as well as Wild Boars that had appeared during the day and other nocturnal animals, such as Mutated Owls, Mutated Bats, and more.

Moreover, quite a few Beast General Level Monsters were mixed among the vast numbers of ordinary Mutated Creatures!

"Two-Tailed Cats, Two-Headed Dogs, Wild Boars as large as tanks."

With only a quick scan.

Yang Yu saw no fewer than five Beast Generals leading large groups of ordinary Monsters.

"We need to go reinforce them together!" Jia Yi immediately stood up and swiftly put on his equipment.

Yang Yu did the same.

At this moment, Wang Ying'an, the commander-in-chief who had only rested briefly, also appeared anxiously in the hall.

"We'll have to trouble you two again, Yang and Jia. We'll provide you with sufficient fire support!"

"You're too polite, Chief. We'll join the defense at once. With so many Monster Commanders, it will be very difficult for the front lines to hold them off." Jia Yi hurriedly pulled Zhang Tieshan, who was beside Wang Ying'an. "Taking a helicopter and airborne-dropping there will be fastest."

"Alright. You two must be careful!" Wang Ying'an reminded them again. "Your own safety comes first. If you encounter Monsters you can't stop, remember not to force yourselves to hold them back. We'll deploy secret weapons with massive destructive power to deal with them!"
