"Just as expected."
Lu Chao's eyes lit up, and he felt a hint of surprise.
He had originally worried that the item had been damaged during the earlier fierce battle.
He then focused his gaze on it.
A white training ground appeared in the projected screen.
A tough red leather sandbag hung in the center, while a steel plate stood upright nearby. The surroundings were empty, with nothing else in sight.
Opposite the sandbag stood a figure clad in a dark navy martial arts uniform.
He stood as straight as a spear, around six feet tall. He was a man with a ponytail and a high, straight nose, appearing to be around thirty years old.
"Fifty years ago, superhuman knowledge spread to Earth Star, and we ordinary people finally learned of the path of martial arts."
A voice came from the screen as the bluish figure slowly spoke. "Rampaging alien beasts, radiation contamination... Generation after generation of predecessors forged a path forward and earned the respect of extraterrestrial civilizations. Only through cooperation and trade did we gain today's prosperous age."
"Remembering the painstaking efforts of our predecessors and admiring heroes such as Robert, who ventured into the stars... I, Chu Chengfeng, resolved in my youth to create fighting techniques and martial arts skills."
His tone firmed, as though he were meeting Lu Chao's gaze through the screen.
"Yet Chu is slow-witted. Only upon reaching thirty did I finally gain some understanding."
"Today, I have barely managed to create a killing move: the Layered Force Punch! I hope everyone can master it and join me in inheriting our predecessors' aspirations and safeguarding the Alliance's peace."
Buzz!
As the final word fell, Lu Chao had already held his breath and stared fixedly at the screen, not daring to miss even a second.
