Phantylia's Contempt, Jiyuan's Gains [First Update]

At that moment, he heard Ji Yuan continue speaking to him, "But your entrance just now was really cool. Especially that line, 'I will...'"

"Stop, don't say anymore."

Sam quickly stopped Ji Yuan from saying the whole thing.

Sam quickly looked at the Doomsday Beast charging towards them and said, "We can't wait here any longer. The Doomsday Beast are here, and you haven't fully recovered yet. Come on, I'll carry you on my back. Stay close behind me and don't get thrown off."

"Um."

Ji Yuan knew that he didn't have much energy left in his body and it would be difficult for him to fight those Doomsday Beasts. So he stopped trying to be brave and obediently climbed onto Sam's back.

Lying on Sam's back, Ji Yuan clearly felt Sam's body stiffen.

After adjusting his position, Sam quickly charged towards the Doomsday Beast. He aimed another kick at the Doomsday Beast he had just kicked.

It's better to break one finger than to injure all ten of the enemy's fingers, so Sam precisely attacked the already wounded Doomsday Beast.

His idea was the same as Ji Yuan's: not to defeat ten Doomsday Beasts. After all, his strength was only about the same as Ji Yuan's at his peak. What Ji Yuan couldn't do, he couldn't do either.

He just wanted to buy some time.

Although the Doomsday Beast are powerful, they are also extremely large. If you get close to one of Doomsday Beast, the Doomsday Beast will have a hard time launching an attack.

Especially the Doomsday Beast, which felt intense pain under Sam's attack.

Driven by intense pain, the Doomsday Beast went berserk, rendering the other Doomsday Beast unable to mount much of a move against Sam, who was attacking it from all sides.

Sam and Ji Yuan are safe for now.

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, a horn-like sound seemed to ring out again, and the movements of the ten Doomsday Beast instantly changed. The Doomsday Beast that had been struggling in pain just moments before stopped moving completely. The remaining nine Doomsday Beasts, still unsure of what to do, immediately launched an attack on Sam and Ji Yuan.

They completely ignored the Doomsday Beast that were still nearby.

Ji Yuan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"This is Celenova's command. She's planning to kill us even if we don't care about this Doomsday Beast," Sam said to Ji Yuan. At the same time, he said to Ji Yuan in an even more serious tone, "Come on, hold me tighter. I need to get out of here faster."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan hugged Sam even tighter.

Facing the fists of the remaining nine Doomsday Beasts, Sam quickly dashed to one side. However, this time it was clear that the Doomsday Beast were prepared; as Sam flew, their fists blocked their path.

Sam gathered his energy and charged towards the weakest point in the encirclement.

He rammed his entire body into the Doomsday Beast's fist. Upon impact, the Doomsday Beast's fist loosened its grip, creating a gap. Through this gap, Ji Yuan and Sam successfully escaped.

Having reached a slightly safer area, Ji Yuan noticed that Sam had suffered a lot of damage.

It's clear that Sam was seriously injured in that collision.

Are you alright?

Ji Yuan asked Sam.

"It's nothing, this damage is nothing. I'll fix it up a bit when we get back to a safe area."

Sam shook his head and answered Ji Yuan.

At this moment, the Doomsday Beast also reacted to their missed attack and turned around to pursue Ji Yuan and Sam again.

Just as several Doomsday Beasts were trying to surround Ji Yuan and Sam, a huge black hole appeared in front of them.

Ji Yuan turned his head and saw that Welt Yang had already come up behind the two of them.

Grabbing Ji Yuan's arm, Welt Yang said to him, "Alright, we're here. Xing and Dan Heng have successfully evacuated. I'll hold them off here for a bit, you guys hurry up and retreat too."

"Um."

Ji Yuan and Sam nodded at the same time.

Now is not the time to be reckless; it's best to evacuate as soon as possible.

Chapter 178 Celenova's Disdain, Ji Yuan's Gains [First Update]

After Lao Yang stood in front of Ji Yuan and Sam, Himeko also rushed over to protect them.

"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly."

Himeko said to Ji Yuan and Sam.

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Then he got off Sam and prepared to turn and leave.

But at that very moment, everyone in outer space simultaneously heard a new, heavy horn sound. The sound was enormous, and its resonance was truly awe-inspiring.

Ji Yuan turned his head and saw that even more Anti-Matter Legion had appeared. Among these Anti-Matter Legion was a woman who was much shorter than the towering enemies beside her. However, based on Ji Yuan's estimation, she should be around 1.8 meters tall, roughly the same height as Ji Yuan.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with an exceptional figure. Dressed in moon-white clothing, her gaze remained fixed upwards, never once touching Ji Yuan and his companions.

It's clear that this is an extremely arrogant and disdainful person.

It seems that she doesn't take anyone seriously.

Arrogant and dismissive of everyone.

Qianxun (3) 1281 (4) 13 (9)

"This woman seems to be the Lord of Destruction Xingxiao."

Himeko also stood in front of Ji Yuan and whispered to him.

Ji Yuan nodded, thinking that it was only Lord of Destruction Xingxiao could have such arrogance.

After all, only Celenova could directly force her way into Zhuming Celestial Ark, make demands on Xianzhou, and ultimately escape unscathed.

Welt Yang also retreated to Ji Yuan's side at this moment. While guarding against the possible Celenova attack, the group slowly retreated towards Jarilo.

However, Celenova seemed to disregard Ji Yuan and the Astral Express Crew, ignoring their evacuation into Jarilo. Looking around, she waved her hand, preparing to further reinforce the encirclement of the planet, ensuring Ji Yuan and the others could successfully evacuate into its atmosphere.

Of course, she also glanced at Ji Yuan one last time, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Although she didn't speak, Ji Yuan clearly understood her meaning.

I've got my eye on you. Get yourself ready and prepare to die.

However, Ji Yuan did not show any fear in the face of Celenova's threat.

Just kidding. Although you, Celenova, command a large number of people, can you compare to Zephyro in terms of individual combat ability, or to Phantylia in terms of conspiracy and planning?

Celenova noticed that Ji Yuan didn't show any fear; instead, he glanced at him a few more times.

In the end, he didn't do anything, but he just planned to keep Ji Yuan in mind and settle accounts with Ji Yuan face to face when the Anti-Matter Legion entered Jarilo.

Upon entering the atmosphere and returning to the Astral Express, Ji Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

March 7th arrived happily beside Ji Yuan and the others, patted Xing on the shoulder, and then squeezed Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's arms. Seeing that none of the three of them were injured, she breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hands on her hips and said to Ji Yuan and the others, "That's great, I'm relieved to see you all back safe and sound."

Himeko frowned and looked up at the sky, then said to the others present, "It seems we are safe for now. Celenova seems to want to see us completely despair before destroying us. Especially you, Ji Yuan."

"There's nothing I can do. As a vengeful Celestial Ark Native, how could I let Celenova look at me like I'm an insect? Besides, no matter how much I try to please or beg her, she will never let me go." Ji Yuan spread his hands and said to Himeko. At the same time, he comforted everyone, "It's okay. At least here, we have many more helpers, so we don't need to worry too much."

Leaving aside their relatives and friends, even within the Interastral Peace Corporation, before the teacher's experiment was completed...

Just as he was saying this, Jingliu and Ruan Mei appeared in front of Ji Yuan and the others almost simultaneously.

Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei speechlessly.

She was preparing to conduct an experiment just before I left, but when she saw Jingliu over like this, she arrived at almost the same time.

Women, especially crazy women, really have a strong competitive spirit.

Jingliu approached Ji Yuan, a warlike glint in his eyes, and asked, "Are there many Anti-Matter Legion outside right now? Should I help you take care of a few?"

She was itching to take action against the enemy.

Ji Yuan quickly stopped her. "Teacher, let's not do it for now. Right now, outside the atmosphere, the Lord of Destruction Xingxiao is over there, and she is surrounded by a large number of the Anti-Matter Legion. This is not something one person can handle."

Upon hearing that there were so many enemies, even Jingliu sheathed his sword.

She's crazy, but not stupid.

She had no chance of winning even against the Lord of Destruction, let alone with the numerous Anti-Matter Legion surrounding Celenova at this moment. Jingliu has gone; he probably won't be coming back.

"Are there many enemies? So, Ji Yuan, would you like to accept my proposal?"

Nguyen Mai showed no fear in the face of potential enemies, and even gave Jingliu- ryu a provocative look.

Ji Yuan glanced at Professor Ruan Mei, knowing full well how much she anticipated creating the Swarm. Given time, she might actually be able to mass-produce more units than the Anti-Matter Legion. The key issue was that Ruan Mei couldn't guarantee she could control those Swarm.

"Things haven't come to this yet," Ji Yuan said, stopping his teacher.

However, he still gave Professor Ruan Mei a look. If things truly reached a point of no return, then creating Swarm was an option. Anyway, even if I'm going to die, I won't let your Anti-Matter Legion and Interastral Peace Corporation have an easy time.

Especially the semi-finished Propagation Emanator created by Ruan Mei; although its duration was short, its self-destruction power was quite considerable. Ji Yuan thought that if things didn't work out, then everyone would be doomed.

Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Ruan Mei nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Yes, that kind of crazy energy is more like me.

At the same time, Ruan Mei also thought, "But we should also speed up the remaining experiments. Ji Yuan, you should work harder on the star core."

"So what should we do next?" Xing was very dissatisfied with the fact that he and the others had been forced back by Celenova, and what he wanted to do most now was to launch a counterattack.

"Of course, take a good rest."

As Himeko spoke, she stretched.

"We've just been through a major battle, and the most important thing now is to replenish our strength. Once we've replenished our energy, we can then think about how to deal with the enemy. Besides, some people are even more anxious than we are."

Let the company and the Anti-Matter Legion fight each other first.

Himeko thought to herself.

"All right."

Xing nodded with some regret.

Ji Yuan and the others thought the same thing. Seeing that there were no extra rooms on the train, they also prepared to leave.

Sam was the first to leave. He had wanted to leave while everyone was talking, and now that he had a free moment, he was eager to go.

"Since there are no problems on your end, I'll be leaving now."

He spoke in a mechanical voice.

Ji Yuan stopped him and said, "Why don't you come back with us first? I'll take this opportunity to check on your body. You should know that I studied mechanics with Mr. Screwllum and can help fix your problems."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Sam hurriedly waved his hands in refusal and even fled outside in a panic.

"No, no need. I'm fine here, really fine. There's absolutely no need for a checkup."

He didn't give Ji Yuan any chance to react and simply ran away.

Ji Yuan was somewhat taken aback by this performance.

Then he showed a look of bewilderment, as if he was both laughing and crying.

He had only some doubts before, but now he's at least 50% sure.

Well, that's not the most important thing right now, but considering what she did, Ji Yuan felt quite satisfied. After all, the situation just now was indeed dangerous, and without her, he might have really perished there.

Ji Yuan then prepared to return to Belobog with Jingliu -sensei and Ruan Mei-sensei for rest. Himeko and the others planned to rest on the train before going to Belobog.

As he left the train, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[You fight alongside a lump of scrap metal; the system rewards you with +10 scrap metal recycling experience.]

Upon hearing the first piece of news, Ji Yuan nearly choked with rage.

After all that hard work fighting Sam and Sam, even though she did most of the physical labor when Sam arrived, this is the result. What's the use of scrap metal recycling experience? Is it for scavenging? Does it mean I and Xing are going to start our careers by scavenging for trash in Belobog?

No, if I don't get her treated soon, I'll soon become a king of scrap metal.

Many Remembrance flooded my mind, including the classification and sorting of scrap metal, and even how to be a shrewd businessman to disguise scrap metal as good iron and sell it at a high price.

Ji Yuan was speechless.

Sam's achievements were rather mediocre, but Ji Yuan was quite satisfied with the achievements of the others.
