Chapter 333. Third Natural Wormhole

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

At this time, Ye Mu crawled out of the lake. He could see Lu Ze watching the blog. Then, he laughed. "Ze, do you want to go check out the martial trial tower? A lot of people are talking about this."

Naturally, Lu Ze was the strongest new student, and he reached the top 1000 in the overall ranking upon entering the martial trial tower for the first time. He suppressed most of the old students. Essentially, he was in the limelight for a period of time.

Now that he went silent for this long, several people felt unsatisfied. Right now, the rest of the people looked at Lu Ze curiously. They wanted to know his current power.

Since Lin Ling could reach tenth place, perhaps, Ze could enter the top five. Of course, they weren't aware of the reason why Lin Ling's power had exceeded the first placer by a large margin.

In truth, she just wanted to rank higher than Lu Ze. They couldn't even imagine Lu Ze's power.

After a while, Lu Ze rubbed his head and sighed helplessly. "My brain hurts."

He didn't want to act cool, but why did these people force him?

Why?

As it turned out, he should probably enter the martial trial tower.

At this moment, Ye Mu attempted to speak. "Ze…"

Thereafter, he shoved Lu Ze's shoulder.

The latter looked at Ye Mu speechlessly. "What's up Ye Mu? I want to have some quiet…"

After Lu Ze's response, the expressions of the people present became strange.

Lu Ze: "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Nangong Jing's voice could be heard. "I heard you miss me?"

[TL Note: 'Quiet' in Chinese sounds like 'Jing']

Lu Ze quickly looked up. He found that above his dorm, Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha were floating there quietly. Nangong Jing looked jokingly at Lu Ze while Qiuyue Hesha grinned.

The atmosphere turned silent.

In this situation, Lu Ze's mouth twitched. He laughed awkwardly. "Haha, you're really funny…"

Clearly, the other people had long seen this, so they looked strangely at him like that. He saw that they were all slightly looking down. Even Ye Mu only dared to take a glimpse. At this, Lu Ze immediately realized that Qiuyue Hesha's seduction power was effective right now.

Afterward, Nangong Jing said seriously, "Okay, the joke stops there. There are missions. Ze and Lin Ling, come with us."

She glanced at Ye Mu and the rest of the group. "Your powers are still too weak. This mission is a bit dangerous. You guys can go to class."

Lu Ze and Lin Ling flew toward Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha. Watching the four, the six people below looked among themselves.

Ye Mu asked curiously, "Seeing how serious teacher Nangong and Qiueyue are, did something happen?"

Xuan Yuqi shook her head. "I don't know, but with Lu Ze and Lin Ling's power, they should be fine."

Tianyuan Qianhua said, "If it is something major, then the school would definitely report it."

After all, the Dawn System's students were very strong. They were stronger than most defense forces of the solar system.

Ian frowned. With disappointment, he said, "It seems we are still a bit weak."

They were already very strong among first-year students, but compared to Lu Ze and Lin Ling, they were much weaker. They didn't even have the right to participate in the same missions as them.

The six people fell silent. They became unsatisfied.

Moments later, Xavier laughed. "Let's go cultivate."

The group nodded and went to class.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling went into Golden Swirl, which was floating above the clouds.

Subsequently, the ship left planet Venus.

Lu Ze couldn't resist asking. "Teacher Nangong, what happened?"

After hearing his question, Nangong Jing explained, "It's another natural wormhole. It's the third one."

Lu Ze and Lin Ling were a little shocked at this information.

Lin Ling frowned. "Sister Jing, are you saying this is the third?"

Did that mean there were two more previously?

Lu Ze said, "The incident in Gula System was one, right? Where is the other?".

Qiuyue Hesha and Nangong Jing glanced at each other. A strange expression crossed their faces as they looked at the two.

Qiuyue Hesha grinned. "You have actually been through all three of them."

"What?" Lu Ze and Lin Ling felt dumbfounded learning this news.

Nangong Jing smiled. "The first was the three black-robed people. When we sent people to investigate, there were residues of natural wormholes."

Lu Ze: "…"

Lin Ling: "…"

Natural wormholes usually didn't appear for years, and yet, they encountered all three within a span of three months.

Lu Ze asked, "Is the situation quite serious this time?"

Nangong Jing frowned and nodded. She explained, "It is not small and is connected to the Void Space. A few thousand Void Beasts came. Three of them possess Planetary State Power. There are several Mortal Evolution State Void Beasts."

Qiuyue Hesha added, "The troublesome part is that it appeared next to a medium-sized residential Solar System, Xigui System. There are 12 inhabited planets."

This was quite a massive residential system.

Nangong Jing rubbed her head. "This System is well developed financially but that's it. The commander of the defense force is at level six of the Mortal Evolution State. Other than him, there are only 14 high-level Mortal Evolution State Defense Forces. They can't stop this group of Void Beasts alone."

Lu Ze and Lin Ling: "…"

No matter how many Mortal Evolution State Beasts came, it was useless against planetary state void beasts. This entire System might end up being destroyed.

The only way was probably to escape through a flying ship. Qiuyue Hesha said, "The Void Beasts appeared on a habitable planet. It has only been half an hour since we received the news. That planet has no living beings left."

Half an hour and a planet were destroyed this speed was too terrifying. An insignificant number of humans could have escaped.

Then, Lu Ze said, "The other planets should be rather safe, right?"

Even Planetary State Void Beasts needed some time to fly between planets.

Nangong Jing smiled bitterly at this question. "Void Beasts are different from humans. They live in the Void Space. When they reach the Planetary State, they can use warp tunnels. They can't go far, but it's fine to move about within a System."

Lin Ling frowned. "That means…"

Qiuyue Hesha confirmed her suspicions. "Yes, those three Planetary State Void Beasts would open warp tunnels. Regardless if the planet was inhabited, Void Beasts would go over."

Nangong Jing's eyes turned sharp. "The Defense Force of the System is holding the Void Beasts off. Quite some powerful beings are coming over. If we travel at all costs, then we can arrive in a day."

Qiuyue Hesha said with pity, "Too bad Yingying fell asleep yesterday, otherwise…"

This topic was heavy. There were no ifs.

Nangong Jing shook her head. "Okay, the human race had always relied on ourselves. It is not like we can't solve this problem. Rest up, there will be a huge battle soon."

Lin Ling and Qiuyue Hesha went to their rooms, but Nangong Jing still sat on the couch, drinking Lu Ze got up and said, "Teacher Nangong, we're going to fight. Don't get drunk."

Nangong Jing rolled her eyes. "It's not Jinyao Searing Sun, I won't get drunk."

Bringing this up, Lu Ze and Nangong Jing recalled their indirect kiss yesterday.

The atmosphere turned a little awkward.

Nangong Jing glanced at Lu Ze. "You're not allowed to speak of it."

Lu Ze nodded. Did she really hate him?

Then, he asked, "By the way, where did you learn your telepathy?"

Nangong Jing looked at Lu Ze strangely. "You can buy this. [Telepathy Technique]."

Lu Ze: "…"

He had never even seen it before.

Nangong Jing rolled her eyes and took out her phone and sent a file to Lu Ze. "I sent it to you. Go learn it."

Lu Ze grinned. "Thank you, teacher Nangong."

Since Nangong Jing didn't mention anything about academic credits, Lu Ze didn't ask about it.

Chapter 334. Have to Battle

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Back in his room, Lu Ze opened the document and started learning [Telepathy]. It was just a [Secret Technique], so it wasn't very difficult for Lu Ze.

Accordingly, he just used a [Purple Orb] and spent a few hours learning about it. Thereafter, he started cultivation using [Red Orbs].

Xigui System was a galaxy with three stars, 46 planets, and several asteroid belts, as well as Cosmic Dust. It was much larger than the Solar System, Telun System, and even Dawn System.

However, there were countless Solar Systems bigger than this in the Milky Way galaxy.

One of these 46 planets was covered in ashes and fire. This huge planet seemed like a crumbling ball. It was cut with deep marks and shifting plates, causing the ground to tremble constantly. Cities were turned to ruins. Forests were turned to scorched Earth.

The ocean water flowed through the cracks toward other regions. In the end, the entire planet became deformed. At this moment, the air was covered in dark clouds and lightning. It was like doomsday. No…

Actually, it was doomsday already. This planet was covered with a few thousand hideous-looking Void Beasts. Most of them were tens and hundreds of meters long. There were also ones over a thousand meters long.

At the same time, there were three that were over ten kilometers long. They were covered in thick black armor and had six pairs of sharp claws. Their foreheads also had one extremely thick horn.

Every place they passed by, the ground cracked, and the air burst while the ocean water moved away. It was as though the entire planet was shaking. While seeing this planet sink into its death, the three beasts roared, causing a huge tsunami.

The sound traveled through the entire planet. All those Void Beasts immediately flew toward the three Void Beasts. At the same time, they swiped in the air, forming small wormholes. These wormholes could only reach small distances but that was relative to the entire universe.

In truth, the Void Beasts could still reach other planets through these wormholes.

Not far from this planet were dense clusters of ships. There was one huge mothership and then countless smaller ships. The largest mothership had a broad meeting room.

The atmosphere here turned dead silent.

The screen was playing the scene wherein the planetary state void beasts opened the wormholes.

After seeing the dense cluster of Void Beast coming, the expressions on their faces turned bad.

The black-haired middle-aged man, who was sitting at the front said, had a pale face. "How is the evacuation going?"

The younger man on the side answered shakily, "Time is too short, and there are limited numbers of flying ships…"

It had only been half an hour. No planet in this System was safe. If you wanted to evacuate, you would have to leave this Solar System. However, it took flying ships to evacuate a solar system. Who would have thought a disaster of this scale would occur?

Where could they find this many ships to evacuate 12 planets and its tens of billions of people…

… no, it was 11 now. How could they transfer them at this moment?

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "Prepare for battle! Other than the necessary pilots on the ship, all other defense forces should head to other planets to annihilate the invading Void Beasts."

"This battleship will draw the void beasts on the planet to space. We must not allow them to go to other planets!"

Moments later, he breathed out. "We must not allow these three Planetary State Void Beasts to go to other planets no matter what!"

The room became dead silent. Drawing away the Planetary State Void Beasts meant 100% death. They were terrifying beings capable of truly destroying a planet at any given time.

Meanwhile, they were just ordinary defense army people. Still, if the Planetary State Beasts went to other planets, the entire planet would be pretty much destroyed.

The middle-aged man said, "Five hours. We need to hold off for five hours and Lieutenant General Mulong can arrive. Other than the lieutenant general, there are other powerful beings making their way over. Dawn System has also sent some students and teachers. We just need to hold off for five hours. Get ready. Our families are there on the other planets!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the large ship moved, and the troops were mobilized. Manless warships went to the broken planet. All sorts of spirit-powered cannons fired particles toward the Planetary State Void Beasts. However, the cannons could only leave a trace of a mark on the scale of the beasts.

The planetary state beasts sensed something and looked at the manless ships.

Immediately, all the ships blew up.

At this moment, three beams of light shot down from the universe onto the three beasts.

Rumble!!

The earth cracked, and the shockwave swept over more than a thousand kilometers. Several of the approaching void beasts nearby died on the spot.

Wu!

Three angry roars reverberated at this time. Thereafter, the Planetary Void Beasts charged out of the explosion range. An enormous wound appeared on their tough scale. At the same time, black blood gushed out from it.

Nevertheless, such a wound wasn't very serious for beasts at the Planetary State. Their eyes turned red, and their agile figures disappeared from the spot.

A middle-aged man commander in the mothership quickly ordered, "Go into warp travel. Take them away!"

At this moment, a huge claw shifted out from the Void and smashed heavily against the shield.

The shield flickered but eventually held still.

Accordingly, the people on the ship felt relieved.

The young soldier said, "Three seconds to warp travel…"

Before he could finish, the ship shook violently while blaring warnings went off non-stop. A Planetary Void Beast appeared from a wormhole and shot a cannon from its mouth toward the shield.

Rumble!!

Upon collision, the shield flickered and disappeared after a few seconds.

When the third void beast appeared, a few-kilometer-wide energy cannon shot toward the ship. After the explosion, the mothership was obliterated into pieces.

In other locations, a few large motherships watched this scene. People's eyes were red. They could only grit their teeth right now. Their fellow soldiers just turned to dust along with the mothership.

Afterward, all ships projected the voice of the black-haired middle-aged man. "Hold them off at all costs! Just hold them off for five hours, and our mission is complete."

This was a battle with a guaranteed death, but they had to do it. Behind them were their families and countless human beings.

18 hours later, in the room of Golden Swirl.

Lu Ze opened his eyes and got off the bed.

During this time, he had been using [1st Body God Art Orb] non-stop. His ist [Body God Art] was pretty much near perfection on the second map. However, his [Star Crippling Punch] didn't improve any further. It would still need some time to reach perfect mastery.

Subsequently, he opened his room and walked out. He could see Nangong Jing and the others were already there.

The atmosphere was stern.

Nangong Jing said, "You came out at just the right time. We are almost there."

Lu Ze walked over and sat next to Lin Ling. He asked curiously, "How is the situation now?"

Nangong Jing frowned. "Not too good."

"Those three Planetary State Void Beasts are stalled by Lieutenant General Mulong who was on break. However, he just reached the Planetary State recently. It is a bit hard for him to take on three Planetary Void Beasts immediately. His situation is not too good."

"Moreover, due to the scarcity of flying ships, quite some citizens were not able to evacuate. Several powerful people made their way over and with the defense force, it can only be said that the situation had not reached the worst yet."
