High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Sky Warrior, Blade of Civilization

"Really?" Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo excitedly, momentarily forgetting to continue eating.

When he broke through to the fourth level of fist technique, Li Yuan was very excited and joyful. At that time, he planned to share this good news with his uncle once his rank in the Starry Combat Network was promoted to Meteor Star.

However, upon reaching the fourth level in spear technique, Li Yuan did not feel much joy in his heart.

It was only now, upon learning that Base No. 3 had not yet fallen, that Li Yuan's previously suppressed emotions were greatly relieved.

A spark of hope ignited in his heart.

"Teacher, where did you hear this news?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I heard about your uncle from Zhou Qi," Xu Bo said. "The school has some records of your uncle. I then asked someone to check the records of the Ninth Bureau of Summer Steel. Their reinforcement teams are mainly concentrated in War Bases No. 3 and No. 4."

"At present, only Base No. 3 has lost contact," Xu Bo continued. "Given your current situation, I speculate that your uncle should be at Base No. 3."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

After spending so much time together, Li Yuan had long discovered that despite his teacher's rough appearance, he was meticulous.

"My second uncle is at Base No. 3," Li Yuan said.

"From what I know, this is the fiercest counterattack by the alien races in the depths of the Luo Bu Sea in years. They have been accumulating their strength for years, luring the enemy deep..." Xu Bo briefly explained. "The casualties are significant. The first three forward war bases are besieged, with Bases No. 1 and No. 2 already fallen."

"Base No. 3, the longest-established forward base, is the most fortified and has been confirmed to still be resisting."

"The country has dispatched a large amount of reinforcement to suppress the alien races back within the Astral Realm of the Luo Bu Sea," Xu Bo said. "Currently, efforts are focused on rescuing Base No. 3."

Li Yuan listened intently.

Xu Bo's words were simple, but the information they contained was substantial.

"Can they be rescued?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Let me show you a recent combat video. This is an internal military video, so don't share its contents," Xu Bo said, not explaining where the video came from.

"Black Dog, play the video."

Beep!

An intelligent wristband on Xu Bo's hand projected a light screen, displaying a video.

Li Yuan watched the video.

The sky was dark, and it was raining.

The sky was vaguely blood-colored, with majestic, continuous mountain ranges extending deep into the earth.

The mountains were littered with countless rocks, with sparse vegetation, and faintly visible remnants of corpses, giving a rather eerie and terrifying impression.

"The Astral Realm of the Luo Bu Sea?" Li Yuan's pupils constricted.

He had watched many documentaries about the Astral Realm of the Lou Bu Sea and had some understanding of it.

"This is the periphery of the Astral Realm," Xu Bo said. "Keep watching."

Quickly, the scene changed.

"Boom~" At the same time, an extremely intense roaring sound came from the video.

A massive metal war fortress, covering an enormous area and standing over a thousand meters tall, appeared in the video. The fortress was built against a mountain, resembling an indomitable steel city.

Visible to the naked eye, countless exits appeared on the fortress's outermost layer, revealing numerous gun barrels and cannons, looking ferocious and terrifying.

At that moment, countless fire serpents were pouring out from those cannons.

"Roar!"

"Roar!" "Roar!" Numerous large creatures with beast-like appearances were charging madly from the sky and from the valleys of the continuous mountain ranges, rushing towards the distant steel war fortress at astonishing speed.

"Astral Realm beasts?" Li Yuan held his breath.

Flesh and blood against thermal weapons.

"Boom!" Countless artillery shells exploded, smoke and dust filled the air.

Whiz! Whiz! These Astral Realm beasts, ranging from several meters to dozens of meters in size, moved at incredible speeds, spaced tens to hundreds of meters apart, dodging the firepower as they advanced.

The high-caliber, high-rate-of-fire metal bullet streams, like fire serpents, raged crazily, hitting the ground.

Most Astral Realm beasts, once hit by the high-caliber bullet streams or artillery shells, were instantly torn apart.

However, when the bullet streams hit a few Astral Realm beasts, a thin layer of red light would instantly appear on their surface, causing them only to be pushed back, without tearing their bodies apart.

Moreover, a few Astral Realm beasts with red light on their bodies could flash hundreds of meters in a moment, advancing through the metal barrage without dodging.

It was terrifying.

"Source power?" Li Yuan instinctively said.

"Yes," Xu Bo also stared at the light screen, speaking softly. "Those that can withstand the metal bullet streams are at least second-tier alien races. They have cultivated source power into their bodies, making them extremely resilient and defensively terrifying."

"In the Astral Realm , unlike on Blue Star, many high-tech weapons cannot be used."

Li Yuan watched and listened.

Many of the knowledge points were taught in middle and high school classes, which he had some familiarity with.

Like ultra-high-speed missiles guided by satellites, and many long-range weapons, they are difficult to use in the Astral Realm ... because, essentially, the Astral Realm and Blue Star are not in the same world.

The more advanced the technology, the more restricted it is.

On the contrary, simple close-range thermal weapons, driven by gunpowder, are less affected by the environment.

"This is Base No. 3?" Li Yuan nervously watched the video.

The massive war fortress standing between heaven and earth was like a terrifying metal giant devouring lives, slaughtering countless Astral Realm beasts on their way to attack.

However!!

The Astral Realm beasts suffered heavy casualties, but their numbers were staggering. They didn't charge in all at once but spread out, minimizing their losses.

"They're consuming the fortress's ammunition?" Li Yuan quickly judged.

As time passed, in the video, under the cover of a large number of second-tier beasts, the Astral Realm beast army got closer and closer to the area where the war fortress was located.

The Astral Realm beasts were purely sacrificing themselves to deplete the fortress's resources.

Li Yuan watched the intense battle in the video, extremely nervous, his fists clenched subconsciously.

As the Astral Realm beast army gradually approached the outer defense line of the war fortress, suddenly.

"Boom!" A seemingly insignificant exit appeared on the massive war fortress.

The next moment.

A golden stream of light burst out from the exit, moving at a terrifying speed, creating a visible shockwave.

With Li Yuan's eyesight, he could barely make out the shape of the golden light.

Buzz~ The video instantly slowed down more than ten times.

"What is that?" Li Yuan finally saw somewhat clearly that under the golden light was a figure, seemingly wearing a metal battle suit, holding a battle knife.

Flying in the air!

"A Sky Warrior?" Li Yuan held his breath, a surge of hot blood boiling in his heart.

The legendary powerful warriors who could fly and traverse the land were the true guardians of human civilization. In just two seconds.

Buzz~ The video resumed normal speed, and the dazzling golden light had already pierced through the sky, moving at an unknown multiple of the speed of sound!

Bang~

Bang~ Bang~ In the sky, those flying second-tier beasts screamed and fled in terror. Under the pressure of death, their flying speed soared to hundreds of meters per second.

A few flying Astral Realm beasts even burst out near the speed of sound but were still rapidly caught up by the golden light.

Then, golden blade lights burst out in the sky.

Each golden light marked the fall of a flying Star Boundary beast, their bodies exploding and falling to the ground.

Then.

The golden light dived down from thousands of meters in the sky, shattering countless rocks, like a ray of death.

Wherever it went, powerful second-tier beasts, whether giant snakes over fifty meters long or armored beasts over twenty meters tall like small mountains, were torn apart at a glance.

The human warrior bathed in golden light was like a ashura from hell!

...

The video ended, and Xu Bo simultaneously turned off the intelligent wristband. The martial arts room fell silent.

Li Yuan, however, stared wide-eyed, his heart surging with excitement, his blood boiling, unable to calm down for a long time.

A Sky Warrior!

This was the supreme power Li Yuan had imagined, capable of flying and traversing the land, roaming the world, standing at the pinnacle of human civilization.

"Teacher, is that a Sky Warrior?" Li Yuan asked with blazing eyes, looking at Xu Bo.

"He is not yet a Sky Warrior, but in terms of strength, many Sky Warriors are not his match," Xu Bo said.

Li Yuan felt puzzled.

"When you enter university, you will gradually understand," Xu Bo said solemnly. "This person is called Yu Jinghe, a graduate of Starlight University. He is considered the top martial arts genius of our country in the past twenty years."

Clearly, Xu Bo knew a lot about Yu Jinghe.

"Yu Jinghe?" Li Yuan held his breath, remembering the name.

Previously, Li Yuan had never heard of him.

The world of top martial artists is mysterious and vast. They mostly operate in the Astral Realm and only appear on the front lines of wars at critical moments, serving as the sharpest blade of human civilization.

Therefore, most of the time, ordinary people rarely hear the names of Sky Warriors.

In contrast, many source martial artists who are big streamers are more famous on the virtual network.

"The top martial arts genius of our country?" Li Yuan thought.

Indeed, he was formidable.

"The alien races of the Lou Bu Sea have been planning for years. Normally, Base No. 3 would inevitably fall," Xu Bo said solemnly. "But Yu Jinghe happened to be at Base No. 3. With him and the fortress's defense system, there is hope of holding out until reinforcements arrive."

"So powerful?" Li Yuan was shocked.

"He has the strength comparable to a Sky Warrior," Xu Bo said deeply. "Each Sky Warrior is nearly a human-shaped nuclear weapon, capable of matching a million-strong army."

"Each Sky Warrior is a pillar of human civilization."

Li Yuan listened silently.

In the past, he knew source martial artists were powerful and had heard legends of Sky Warriors.

But he had never directly felt the terrifying power of a Sky Warrior.

"Yu Jinghe?"

"Please, hold on," Li Yuan prayed in his heart. "Uncle, please survive."

At the same time.

After watching this video, a seed was also planted in Li Yuan's heart.

"A Sky Warrior!"

"One day, I will also become a Sky Warrior, capable of matching a million-strong army, invincible in the Astral Realm."
