On the street.
The vehicle sped along.
Shen Heng watched the scenery rushing past on both sides, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He was pondering what this incident meant.
Judging from the situation Linhai, this incident may simply be a case of a large number of Calamity Beast being overwhelmed at once.
It's still unclear whether it's regional or global.
But even on a global scale, it doesn't seem to have much significance.
After all, ordinary Calamity Beast, unless they reach a number that is difficult to eliminate, cannot pose much of a threat to humans.
This can be extrapolated based on the geographical scope of Linhai cities and the events that occur there.
This time, even if it's a global event, it will at most cause a surge in the number of wild Calamity Beast, but it won't reach that level.
So what is the purpose of this?
Is it to disgust humans?
Or is this incident a manifestation of the increasing overlap between the two worlds, leading to a further acceleration in the frequency of Calamity Beast appearances in the future?
Or is it to use the appearance of a large number of Calamity Beast to cover up the higher-level Calamity Beast that might be hiding beneath them?
Shen Heng pondered the possible scenarios he could think of.
Of these three scenarios, the worst one seems to be the second—this event is a manifestation of two worlds overlapping to a certain extent.
If this is the case, although a large-scale invasion will not occur, the frequency of Calamity Beast appearances will likely increase significantly in the future.
Then it might not be one or two missions a day anymore, but every day, or even several times a day.
Apart from this situation, the first and third situations are relatively better.
One type is simply disgusting and does not cause any actual harm.
While another possibility is that a higher-level Calamity Beast might appear, headquarters should take this into account and monitor the situation closely.
but...
What if that's the case, and what if the superimposed monster is a Calamity Beast that humans can't currently handle?
Shen Heng thought of the Seventh Tier Calamity Beast on Lanikai Island.
To deal with that Calamity Beast, the Rice Country used a super-powerful nuclear bomb.
Even so, it only severely injured the Calamity Beast; it wasn't killed, and the beast escaped.
Finally, because it escaped to the territorial waters of the Great Xia Dynasty, headquarters dispatched its only five S-Class inspectors at the time, and it took several hours to successfully kill it.
If Seventh Tier are already this difficult to deal with, is it possible that Eighth Tier and Ninth Tier enemies could wipe out humanity entirely?
Shen Heng pondered for a while and then abandoned the idea.
Firstly, there's no point in just speculating. Secondly, if such a high-level Calamity Beast really does appear, all they can do is try their best to kill it.
If we truly can't kill them, then humanity might have to consider finding another way to survive.
Shen Heng then thought of another problem.
Last time Lu Zhaoming came, he almost exhausted all his Origin Power to collect the poisonous fog that could cover the entire Linhai.
How come, even at the Seventh Tier, after withstanding a high-yield nuclear bomb, he was only severely injured?
It's important to understand that nuclear weapons are currently the most destructive weapons humanity possesses.
A high-yield nuclear bomb, its core alone, is enough to cover an area of several kilometers in radius.
During an explosion, the materials in the core area, whether metal or rock, are instantly vaporized under temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees and pressures of billions of atmospheres.
Under that kind of power, Shen Heng didn't think Lu Zhaoming could... withstand it.
But the Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast did survive and eventually escaped.
Shen Heng's eyes flickered slightly.
He thought about the gap between the Third Tier and Fourth Tier that he had just broken through to.
Is there also a hurdle between the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier?
Is there a hurdle every Third Tier?
After the Sixth Tier comes the Ninth Tier, and it seems that you can't go any higher than the Ninth Tier.
Suddenly, Shen Heng looked up.
He looked ahead, paused, and loosened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.
Raise your index and middle fingers together.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
Linhai, at the entrance of the stadium.
A tall figure anxiously waved to the ever-flowing crowd.
Several teachers were assisting him.
Finally, as the last student entered the gymnasium, the leading teacher quickly glanced around.
After confirming that the Calamity Beast hadn't followed, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly locked the door from the inside, and then walked rapidly into the stadium with the others.
"How was it, Teacher Sun?"
As soon as they entered, the principal and other school leaders came to greet them.
"Not bad, the Calamity Beast didn't follow, but..."
" Chunhe, do you think something will happen to us?" Xu Anran asked her friend beside her with some concern.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine... The members of the Supervision Bureau will be here soon," Yu Chunhe reassured him.
"Hey, I hope it goes quickly!" Xu Anran said nervously.
Just then, a deliberately lowered voice suddenly rang out from ahead.
"Students of Class 1, come here!"
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw their martial arts teacher standing in front of them, looking at the crowd.
"Here, from Class 2 of the Martial Arts Department!" another teacher chimed in.
"The students of Martial Arts Class Three..."
One after another, the teachers responsible for teaching martial arts courses called out from the front.
Upon hearing this, a commotion arose among the students below.
Then, they calmed down amidst the following shouts of "Quiet, quiet."
One student after another walked toward their teacher.
Yu Chunhe turned to his friend, " Anran, let's come over here too!"
"Mm." Xu Anran nodded.
The two walked toward their martial arts teacher.
Sun Mingyuan was the only Second Tier martial artist that their school had invited from the Martial Arts Association.
The number of Second Tier martial artists in the Martial Arts Association is now significantly higher than it was a few months ago.
However, a significant portion of them joined hunting parties.
The remaining small number, those that could be mobilized, would be distributed to various schools throughout the city; there were very few of them.
Therefore, the only person their school could invite was this one Second Tier martial artist.
The students in the other classes were all First Tier martial artists.
For this reason, all students who are now able to cultivate and have broken through to the First Tier will transfer to the class taught by Sun Mingyuan.
Otherwise, if teachers and students are on the same level, even if there are differences in their specific cultivation levels, it will be difficult to guide them.
Sun Mingyuan looked at the assembled crowd, and after confirming that everyone had arrived, he said in a deep voice:
"Come with me, let's go get our weapons. If the Calamity Beast come, we'll need your help to fight them off."
"Huh? Do we have to go too?" a boy asked nervously.
"Of course," Sun Mingyuan said, looking at the student who had just spoken.
"There are too many of these Calamity Beast this time; our teachers alone can't stop them all, so we need your help."
"If the Calamity Beast attack, I'll try to hold off one of the Second Tier Calamity Beast."
"Then the rest of the teachers will figure out a way to help you resist."
