During the battle with the Green-Armored Giant Dragon, Yang Yu successfully mastered the Thunder Intent, and now every move he makes contains a strong Thunder Aura.

On the spacious rooftop, Yang Yu's figure could be seen flashing continuously.

Each flash moves the device a considerable distance.

If someone were to test Yang Yu's movement speed at this moment, they would find that it reached an astonishing 800m/s!

This speed was achieved by Yang Yu using only his physical attributes and that Thunder Domain. If he added Spiritual Force and used his movement Movement Technique to its fullest extent, his speed would be even faster!

However, for now, Yang Yu is simply experiencing the Thunder Intent, and he is quietly practicing his fist techniques.

After finishing his fist practice, Yang Yu picked up his War Blade and continued practicing his Blade Technique.

Let's start with the Five Elements Thunder Blade again.

After practicing each Blade Technique carefully, Yang Yu's aura suddenly changed.

The speed of the War Blade in his hand suddenly increased!

Under the rising sun, each swing of Yang Yu's Purple War Blade brought forth bursts of lightning.

The speed was unprecedented!

This is the completely transformed Thunder Blade Technique!

Like the Thunder Fist Technique, the Thunder Blade Technique also consists of only one move!

However, this move contains all the variations and Artistic Conception of the previous Five Elements Thunder Blade!

As the sun fully rose.

Yang Yu also unleashed his strongest strike.

Suddenly, a blinding Purple Lightning illuminated the rooftop.

As the sun rises, it tears through the night!

"Shatter the darkness with Thunder!"

After delivering this slash...

Yang Yu sheathed his sword and stood up.

Feeling the warmth of the rising sun and the earth where not a trace of darkness remained, Yang Yu smiled.

With a thought, six throwing knives instantly floated up beside him.

"Whoosh!"

As Yang Yu leaped off the rooftop, the shield flew to his feet. With a nimble turn, Yang Yu sped off towards the Arms Factory.

In less than a minute, Yang Yu passed through the dense high-rise buildings and arrived at the huge Arms Factory.

At this moment, the person in charge of the Arms Factory was already waiting here. "General Yang, this is your complete set of equipment."

After the former Wang Ying'an publicly promised Yang Yu the rank of Major General, Yang Yu naturally became a member of the Military.

However, Yang Yu remains Freelance Martial Artist, only enjoying the treatment and honors of Major General.

At this critical juncture, Wang Ying'an only needs to report this decision to headquarters for record-keeping.

After all, Yang Yu becoming Major General is not an honor for him, but an honor for the Huaxia Military!

After the Military informed the entire Jiangnan City of this decision, all the citizens were supportive, as was the Military headquarters.

This is also why Yang Yu's form of address has changed.

Although Zhang An, the head of the Arms Factory, looked exhausted from not sleeping all night, he was still thrilled to see such a legendary set of equipment being crafted and worn by an unparalleled expert like Yang Yu.

"The corpse of the Green-Armored Giant Dragon was enormous. Our tests revealed that the scales on its back were the hardest, and its Dragon Tendon were also extremely tough. We used a special process to connect the Dragon Tendon to the scales, creating the best set of equipment with excellent defensive capabilities!"

Zhang An excitedly produced a set of cyan-gold full-body armor and gauntlets, saying, "The Dragon Tooth and Dragon Claw are also extremely strong, and the War Blade and throwing knives forged from them are exceptionally hard and sharp. I believe these weapons will shine brightly in your hands, Chief Yang, allowing you to use Monsters materials to slay Monsters!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Zhang. You've all worked hard these past few days." Yang Yu accepted the set of equipment, looking at the top-quality equipment shimmering with a bluish-gold luster in his hand, unable to hide his excitement.

He then immediately changed out of his previous equipment and put on this set of gifts from the Green-Armored Giant Dragon.

I moved it around a bit, and it fits perfectly!

The craftsmanship of the Jiangnan Base City Arms Factory is truly exceptional.

Inside the armor, they also filled it with a soft, special substance so that Yang Yu's movements wouldn't be greatly affected.

Picking up the War Blade beside him, which shimmered with a hint of cyan-gold light amidst its purple hue, Yang Yu happily swung it a few times.

"The weight is just right, and the blade is very sharp! Brother Zhang, your skills are getting better and better." Yang Yu praised, looking at the cool War Blade and twenty throwing knives in his hand.

"Haha, what's the big deal? With the constant stream of Monsters materials you send, we've already figured out a complete processing system. In the future, if you hunt other powerful Monsters, you can have them processed by us! We guarantee the quality will be absolutely top-notch," Zhang An said proudly.

Although crafting weapons using materials from the Green-Armored Giant Dragon was indeed very laborious, with previous experience using Monsters materials, it was relatively easy to do.

"No problem, there will be opportunities in the future. See you later." After saying that, Yang Yu waved to Zhang An, turned around, and flew towards the Central Command Hall, stepping on a shield made of the same Green-Armored Giant Dragon scales.

Yang Yu could now fly freely in Jiangnan Base City, and in just a short while, he traversed half of the Base City and arrived at the central hall.

At this moment, Wang Ying'an, Jia Yi, and the others were already in the hall. When they saw Yang Yu wearing brand-new equipment, their eyes lit up.

"So cool!" Jia Yi stepped forward and punched Yang Yu in the chest. The punch was quite powerful, and the armor on Yang Yu's chest made a dull sound, but it didn't change anything.

"Wow! That's some serious defense!" Jia Yi was genuinely envious now.

You should know that the power he just unleashed could have killed an Advanced Beast General Level Monsters!

The impact on the armor had absolutely no effect.

"Haha, Xiao Jia, don't be envious. You'll be getting the next batch of equipment," Wang Ying'an said with a smile. "Hmm, clothes really do make the man. Little Yang, you certainly look both stylish and imposing in this armor!"

At this moment, some of the female staff members in the lobby were looking at Yang Yu with stars in their eyes.

Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, Yang Yu possessed an exceptionally well-proportioned physique, achieved through long-term training. His proportions were perfect, resembling the golden ratio, and the cyan-gold armor accentuated his heroic and extraordinary appearance.

If Yang Yu weren't so strong and so young, girls would have already been pursuing him.

Ignoring the envious and covetous glances from others in the hall, Yang Yu said directly, "Thank you for the praise, Brother Jia and Chief. The crisis in Jiangnan City has been temporarily resolved, and my current strength is sufficient to initiate the Demon Sweeping Plan. Therefore, I plan to patrol Huaxia from today onwards and help clear out the Lord-level Monster from major Base City across Huaxia!"

Upon hearing Yang Yu's words, Jia Yi's eyes lit up, and Chief Wang Ying'an also looked excited.

Now that Jia Yi's strength has also broken through, he will soon be able to possess a full set of armor and weapons made from materials from the Green-Armored Giant Dragon. In addition, with other Martial Artist and soldiers who have changed their equipment, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of Jiangnan Base City.

Given that Yang Yu possesses the ability to fly and has sufficient strength, it is indeed time to launch this plan.

"Alright! I won't say thank you too much. Time is of the essence now. Some Base City are indeed in very critical situations. We can't delay any longer. Here is the basic situation of the Base City. Little Yang, take a look and decide on the specific action plan."

Wang Ying'an took out a military tablet, which clearly displayed the latest situation of the Six Base Cities in Huaxia.

Yang Yu used his Spiritual Force to control the tablet to fly in front of him, and then took a closer look.

The situation is indeed not optimistic.

The situation in the Northeast Base City, where Hong is stationed, and the Southwest Base City, where Thor is stationed, is relatively good. They are able to withstand the Beast Tide. The Base City are displayed in green, which represents safety, just like the color of the Jiangnan Base City.

As for the other three Base City, they were blood red and red!

This indicates extreme danger!

The color of the Northwest Base City is almost black, indicating that the situation is extremely critical!

"Chief, I'll go support the Northwest Base City first. It seems their situation is the worst," Yang Yu said.

"The situation in the Northwest Base City is indeed very difficult. Their strongest Martial Artist are only at the Intermediate War General, and they cannot deal with Advanced Beast General Level Monsters on their own. They have been able to hold on by using a large amount of weapons and ammunition. It is extremely difficult to resist the Beast Tide," Wang Ying'an said.

"Furthermore, I recently heard from Old Zhu, the highest commander of the Northwest Base City, that a large number of mutated wolf-like Monsters have appeared in the area surrounding their Base City. They are also constantly gathering massive numbers of low-level Monsters to attack the city. Moreover, a number of Advanced Beast General Level Monsters have recently appeared among the attacking Monsters. Their ammunition can no longer last much longer."

"Of the Six Base Cities, their situation is the worst right now. Little Yang, you made the right choice to support them first. I'll contact Lao Zhu right now and tell him about your plans to support them, so they can prepare for the rescue in advance, to avoid any accidental harm to you."

As he spoke, Wang Ying'an summoned his secretary and instructed her to begin arranging the matter.

"Alright, time is of the essence, so I'll head straight to the Northwest Base City. Just prepare some compressed food and water for me," Yang Yu said.

"It's all ready," Jia Yi, taking out a military backpack from the side. It was fairly spacious and filled with all sorts of emergency supplies. It could also be used to carry Monsters materials if necessary, and it wouldn't hinder movement when carried on his back.

"Remember to notify me immediately if any suspicious Lord-level Monster appear around Jiangnan City. I'll be back." After saying this, Yang Yu slung his backpack over his shoulder, greeted Wang Ying'an, and then leaped out of the window, stepping on his shield.

It then transformed into a streak of cyan-gold light and hurtled off towards the northwest.

"It's truly fortunate that our Huaxia can produce a powerhouse like Little Yang," Wang Ying'an exclaimed, watching Yang Yu disappear into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Chief, we've connected with the Northwest Base City." At that moment, the secretary approached with a specially made satellite phone.

Wang Ying'an took the phone and said, "Hey, Lao Zhu, it's me, Old Wang. I have some good news for you. Our War God Yang Yu has now been promoted to Major General. He's already off to support you. He has special flying abilities, so be careful not to accidentally hurt him when he gets there."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Xuan, who was in a state of utter distress, was overjoyed to hear that Yang Yu, the War God from Jiangnan Base City, was about to provide support. "Really? Old Wang, you can't be joking. You know how dire our situation is right now."

"Haha, don't worry, I wouldn't joke about something this big. Just make sure you guys can meet him. I also need to inform a few other old buddies about this. This time, Yang Yu will not only be supporting you, but he will also be supporting the other Base City."

After chatting with Zhu Xuan for a few more minutes, Wang Ying'an hung up the phone and then notified the other four Base City to prevent Yang Yu, who was providing flight support, from being mistaken for a bird-like Monsters and then attacked by his own people, which would be ridiculous.

Yang Yu was flying a thousand meters in the air on his shield, was in high spirits.

Previously, due to various reasons, I had never properly experienced the feeling of flying high in the sky.

Now is the perfect time to experience it.

But looking at the densely packed Monsters on the land below, Yang Yu's originally cheerful mood suddenly became somewhat heavy.

With a thought, Yang Yu enveloped his entire body with Spiritual Force imbued with the Thunder Intent, and his speed soared once again, reaching a terrifying 1000m/s!

However, as the speed increased, Yang Yu felt that the air resistance was also increasing. After trying it out, he found that maintaining a speed of 900 m/s, which is 3240 kilometers per hour, was the most suitable.

Maintaining this speed, Yang Yu found that it neither affected his travel nor consumed too much Spiritual Force, making it the most cost-effective speed at present.

During high-speed flight.

Every now and then, avian Monsters would attack Yang Yu.

However, these flying Monsters, at most Advanced Beast General Level, couldn't even last a second under Yang Yu's flying knives.

Yang Yu swiftly dispatched the reckless flying Monsters along the way, not even bothering to collect the materials from their bodies.

The most urgent task now is to get to the Northwest Base City, clear out the Lord-level Monster in the vicinity, and relieve their defensive pressure.

The Jiangnan Base City is approximately 2,300 kilometers away from the Northwest Base City.

At Yang Yu's current speed, he can arrive in about forty minutes!

This speed surpasses that of most fighter jets.

Of course, most Senior Spirit Reader aren't this fast. Yang Yu was able to move so quickly only because he had fully comprehended the Thunder Intent and mastered a trace of the Thunder Domain.

This also shows that the boost that realm provides to strength is indeed extremely significant.

They sped along the road.

Forty-five minutes later, the Northwest Base City was almost in sight.

After controlling his speed at 600 m/s, Yang Yu landed outside the Northwest Base City.

At this moment, tens of thousands of bizarre and grotesque Monsters have gathered here.

Monsters are mainly sheep-like, Bovine Monster, Scorpion-type Monster, and pig-like.

It also includes some Feline Monster and other smaller numbers of wolf-like Monsters.

These Monsters, led by several Advanced Beast General Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, Giant Rock Sheep, Reckless Bull, Iron-Armored Scorpion, and Bloodthirsty Tank, are currently charging towards the defenses of the Northwest Base City.

"Quite a coincidence," Yang Yu murmured to himself, then transformed into a streak of cyan-gold phantom and plunged into the boundless horde of beasts. Ten cyan-gold flying knives, in a blur of motion, mercilessly reaped the Monsters on the ground.

With each flying knife, large swathes of Monsters were sliced in half, utterly annihilated.

To deal with these ordinary Monsters, the more throwing knives you have, the better; there's no need to keep them at maximum power.

The soldiers defending the City Wall had received instructions from Chief Zhu Xuan beforehand, knowing that their reinforcements, Chief Yang Yu, had arrived!

Watching Yang Yu, seemingly a god descended from heaven, effortlessly reap the beast horde that had been struggling to resist.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Xuan, the supreme commander of the Northwest Base City, even launched a city-wide live broadcast to publicize the battle to the city's residents.

This moment.

A tall, cyan -Golden Figure appeared on television screens of all sizes in the Northwest Base City.

Clad in cyan-gold armor, Yang Yu flew above the Monsters, his shield propelling him through the air. As he passed each horde of beasts, his flying knives, which moved like phantoms, swiftly slaughtered all the Monsters below.

The top-grade throwing knife, forged using the hardest and sharpest parts of the Green-Armored Giant Dragon, is as fragile as paper even against high-level Monsters Advanced Beast General Level.

It only took two and a half minutes.

Yang Yu killed all the tens of thousands of Monsters that were besieging the Northwest Base City!

Seeing the kill speed faster than harvesting wheat, the entire population of the Northwest Base City erupted in jubilation.

"We're saved! We're saved!"

At this moment, Zhu Xuan, the supreme commander of the Northwest Base City, also became excited, "Quickly, come with me to welcome Yang Yu!"

After saying that, Zhu Xuan led the way outside, and the group of people behind him quickly followed.

After ascending to a high altitude and confirming that there were no Monsters around the city, Yang Yu landed on the City Wall of the Northwest Base City.
