Hong Appears!

"So you Chiefs had already made this plan. I was overthinking it," Yang Yu said with a smile.

Thinking about it, it made sense. These High Level leaders had seen more and considered more. The global situation was bleak now, and Martial Artists were the only glimmer of hope they had seen. Naturally, they had to make an effort in that direction.

"It wasn't overthinking. It is precisely because we have outstanding Martial Artists like Xiao Yang and Xiao Jia that we have hope." Wang Ying'an spoke with gratification. "We just received a classified report from the Northern Military Region. A tremendously powerful Martial Artist has appeared there as well. His name is Hong!"

"By himself, he held back several powerful Monsters, helping the military defend the most crucial position and protecting tens of millions of Civilians in the rear."

"Hong!" Yang Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing the name.

"Yes, his name is rather unusual. That is simply what he is called," Wang Ying'an said. "His Martial Way Realm is astonishing. When he wielded his Long Spear, even an endless Beast Tide could not get near him. And whenever his spear struck, a Monster Commander fell with every thrust!"

"This is footage of his battle. You two can study it; perhaps it will inspire your Martial Way. Of course, I have also sent them a copy of your battle footage, for mutual exchange and study."

As Wang Ying'an spoke, he instructed his Subordinates to play the footage of Hong killing Monsters.

Hong wore a black Combat Suit in the video as well, with a Long Spear in hand.

It was obvious that Hong's equipment had also been provided by the military.

Whether it was the resilience of the shaft or the sharpness and hardness of the spearhead, this Long Spear had reached the current limit. Even in battle with Beast General Level Monsters, it would not deform in the slightest.

Beneath the overwhelming Beast Tide, Hong alone, armed with a single spear, held a pass!

The pass was only four or five meters across.

No matter how many Monsters charged forward, or how powerful they were, all of them were sent flying by Hong's Long Spear!

The scenes that followed, of Hong charging into the Beast Tide and slaughtering wildly, shook everyone present.

Perhaps Hong saw that most of the Beast General Level Monsters had already been killed, leaving only Mutated Creatures of average strength and Beast Soldier Level Monsters.

So, with unstoppable momentum, he charged straight into them.

He was like a tiger among sheep; wherever he went, Monsters died in droves.

He carried much the same imposing presence Yang Yu had shown when facing the entire Rat Horde alone.

From the video, Yang Yu could easily tell that Hong's current Martial Way Realm had definitely reached the Grandmaster realm.

Moreover, both his movement technique and Spear Technique had reached an extremely high level.

Even his Physical Fitness had reached the Senior War General level!

With a sufficiently sharp and sturdy weapon, his overall strength was fully capable of contending with, or even killing, Elementary Lord Level Monsters!

At the start of the Grand Nirvana, such strength was undoubtedly the greatest force aside from Yang Yu.

After all, Yang Yu's Spiritual Force had already reached the Intermediate War God level. He could sweep aside even Martial Artists of a higher level than himself, let alone Hong, whose Physical Fitness was merely on par with his own.

If the two sparred, whether Hong would currently be Yang Yu's Opponent was hard to say.

Although Hong's Martial Way Realm and Spear Technique realm were certainly above Yang Yu's for now, Spiritual Force was simply too powerful. Flying Daggers sweeping out at more than ten times the Speed of Sound rendered any realm meaningless.

Of course, Hong would improve faster and faster in the future. If Yang Yu could not keep up later on, it would be perfectly normal for him to lose.

But with Yang Yu's talent, would he fall behind?

Yang Yu was very confident in himself. Although he had not received a Golden Finger after transmigrating here, he had grown increasingly confident in his own talent.

As long as his comprehension was strong enough and his talent was good enough,

what use were Golden Fingers and cheats?

He himself was the greatest cheat!

A true Strong Expert always relied on himself!

"He truly is powerful!" After watching the video, Jia Yi praised him from the bottom of his heart. "Perhaps only Xiao Yu can compare with him. I even think his Spear Technique is fiercer than Xiao Yu's Blade Technique!"

"Indeed. At this stage, his Spear Technique is stronger." Yang Yu acknowledged that as well.

After all, Hong had always possessed exceptional talent in the Martial Way, along with extraordinarily strong comprehension.

Having studied the spear for decades, he was naturally stronger than Yang Yu, who had cultivated for less than ten years in total across both his past and present lives.

Yet Yang Yu was not discouraged in the slightest. The period during which he had truly improved rapidly was only the past half year or so after the Double R Virus.

Furthermore, after several battles, Yang Yu felt that his Martial Way had improved at a terrifying pace. In time, his comprehension of the Martial Way alone might not be unable to surpass Hong and Thor.

Although there was still no news of Thor, Yang Yu believed that Thor would appear in the public eye before long.

After all, they were the two figures from the Original Work who led Huaxia out of the Beast Tide crisis. It was impossible for them to remain unknown forever.

"I feel that after seeing Xiao Yu and Hong fight, my Sword Technique has been greatly inspired. I will not stay with everyone any longer. While there are no Monsters around, I am going up to the rooftop to practice my sword and strive to break through to the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible!"

Seeing Jia Yi work so diligently, everyone present regarded him with solemn respect.

"Xiao Jia, while you practice Martial Way, would it be alright if I sent someone to record you? I intend to submit the footage, and have the higher-ups compile it into Martial Way promotional videos and supporting materials for nationwide distribution and study."

At that moment, Wang Ying'an stopped Jia Yi and said to Yang Yu as well, "And you too, Xiao Yang. I would like to record your Blade Technique and send it along together."

"No problem. It is just that my Blade Technique is still improving, so it can only serve as a reference for now."

"I have no problem with it either. Then let us record it quickly. Who knows when the Monsters will attack again?" Jia Yi said with an easygoing expression.

This was a time of national crisis. Contributing what little Martial Way knowledge they possessed was when it would be most useful.

Moreover, this was what Jia Yi's Master had instructed him before he left: whenever someone wished to learn, he could teach them everything.

There was no need to cling to distinctions between schools.

However, there was certainly no time to teach people one by one. It was better to hand the Martial Way Books he carried with him to the military, while also recording some Sword Technique videos for Martial Artists who already possessed some strength to study.

As for Civilians with absolutely no foundation, they naturally had to start from the very beginning.

But the military surely had plans for that. All Jia Yi and Yang Yu could do was cooperate.

Upon reaching the rooftop, the two groups began recording Yang Yu and Jia Yi separately.

Yang Yu did not hold anything back. He began by demonstrating the Five Element Fist, followed by the Five Elements Thunder Blade.

During the process, Yang Yu also explained the relationship between the Xingyi Five Elements Fist and the Five Elements Thunder Blade.

After nearly an hour of recording, Yang Yu and Jia Yi began cultivating on the rooftop.

As for the others, they hurried to produce the videos and gather the relevant basic Martial Way theoretical knowledge, striving to organize teaching materials that even ordinary people could learn from in the shortest possible time.

This would be especially important in resisting the Monsters in the future.

They were now racing against time.

Yang Yu and Hong might be powerful—powerful enough to hunt Monster Commanders at will and even stand against entire herds of Monsters alone.

But could everyone else do the same?

How many Martial Artists like Yang Yu and Hong were there?
