Chapter 399. How Did Those Demon Bastards Dare to Come?!

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

The three looked at Lu Ze for a while before finally regaining their senses. Thereafter, the Level seven Mortal Evolution State middle-aged man smiled. "Hello, Lu Ze. You're far more talented than I had imagined. I'm Kurter, and this is my wife, Lorrie."

The mature beautiful woman smiled as well and nodded at Lu Ze. "Hello, Lu Ze."

Lu Ze smiled at them too. "Greetings."

On the other hand, the bulky man said, "Lu Ze, I'm the teacher of Thousand Sun University at Dawn System, Qiu Dongyi. I have a few students who attended your high school."

This surprised the couple and the high-levels of the defense force. They didn't expect this man to be a teacher from the Dawn System. What a coincidence.

Lu Ze was so talented. It was good to get connected.

Lin Ling couldn't resist looking over. She thought of the selection process after the graduation trial. There was a guy and a girl standing next to Lu Ze. They didn't encounter the insectoid tide, so they weren't given guaranteed entry.

Nevertheless, they had another chance for evaluation. They were probably sent to Thousand Sun University.

Lu Ze was surprised. He said, "Hello, teacher Qiu, are you talking about Xu Yang and the others?"

He would occasionally check his high school class group chat, so he knew that they didn't get into Thousand Sun University through the guaranteed entry. They got in through application instead.

After all, Lu Ze's performance was too good. Their school got a large sum of resources, and this was very bountiful for Xu Yang and the rest.

They had a chance for guaranteed entry, but after consideration, they chose to use the resources to improve themselves and then participate in high school exams.

There were a few students who went into the Dawn System from his high school, but Lu Ze only knew Xu Yang and the rest of his group well.

On the other hand, Li Erhou wasn't able to get in. His talent was very ordinary. However, Lu Ze didn't attend the student reunion after graduation. He was already participating in the entrance exam of the Federal University.

When the school began, Xu Yang and the group didn't contact Lu Ze. As for Lu Ze, he was busy with cultivation and didn't mind it. Did those guys forget about him?

Qiu Dongyi's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "Yes, it's them. Their results in their high school exams were not bad. They went into the elite class, and now, I am leading them."

He didn't expect that Lu Ze would still remember them. Xu Yang and the others mentioned that they were in the same class as Lu Ze during high school, but they didn't say much. As it turned out, Lu Ze wasn't probably one to forget his past.

Kula System, Astral Body Base.

Lieutenant General Yue Jingzhong had a smile on his face. All the other high-levels in the meeting room had the same expression as though they felt relaxed. This was the first time they had smiled while they were under the pressure of the blade demon army.

Yue Jingzhong had a smug expression. "This time, the blade demon's plans regarding Ena System have failed. We were lucky to have Lu Ze and Lin Ling. Major General Nangong, your students are very excellent."

He looked at the prideful Nangong Jing. Other people looked at Nangong Jing with envy too.

The defense forces relayed what had transpired. Lu Ze had annihilated all the Void Beasts by himself. When this news came, almost everyone didn't dare to believe it, except Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha.

Lu Ze's cultivation level wasn't even at the Mortal Evolution State, and yet, he had such power?

This talent was too absurd.

Hence, Nangong Jing had a very proud face. Lu Ze was her student. She taught him well. Upon coming back, she would reward him with some good food.

Nevertheless, Qiuyue Hesha didn't feel so good. She helped teach them as well, but everyone assumed it was only the female T-Rex who taught them.

Out of all the people present, the most shocked ones were Luo Bingqing and Derrick.

Lu Ze's combat power was at least at Level six of the Mortal Evolution State. How long had it been?

Lu Ze almost caught up to them. This progress was too fast.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was rather jovial.

Without something to worry about and the presence of the Ena System's reinforcements here, they didn't need to fret about fighting the blade demons head-on.

At this moment, a sharp siren rang.

A hologram of a soldier appeared. His eyes were full of disbelief. He bowed and then reported, "Lieutenant General, the blade demons are attacking!"

Yue Jingzhong's eyes contained some disbelief too. "What?!"

The powers on both sides were on par. Why would the blade demons attack at this time?

This wasn't right!

Still, his experience made him instantly set aside his surprise. He got up and said, "Prepare for battle!"

As the defending side, they had much more advantage in terms of resource supply. Why did those blade demon bastards dare to come?!

He continued, "Mobilize scout squads. Watch the situation on the surrounding regions, and see if the blade demons have any other cards."

"By the way! Tell the Ena System to refrain from relaxing!"

The soldier quickly answered, "Yes!"

Gracious Planet.

The defense forces were cleaning up the bodies of the void beasts. These soldiers had just arrived. Two more Mortal Evolution States came, and the rest of the Mortal Evolution States went back on the way after receiving news that the crisis was over.

When the two newly-arrived Mortal Evolution State heard that Lu Ze killed all the Void Beasts, their faces were equally stunned.

When they heard that Lin Ling stopped a Level four Mortal Evolution State Void Beast as well, they were beginning to wonder whether they should find a good place and retire. Were young people these days all this crazy?

The five Mortal Evolution States weren't able to help, but they still chatted keenly with Lu Ze and Lin Ling.

Lu Ze didn't leave. He was going to follow Ling Dongyu. After Lin Dongyu was done here, he would go with him to buy Xingzhan fruit pancakes.

So, he didn't have anything to do in the meantime. Thus, he kept chatting with them. However, he learned quite some news about Xu Yang and the rest from Qiu Dongyi.

Their power was nearly at the Abstruse Martial State now. They couldn't compare with the students of the Federal University's elite class, but this was considered above average at Thousand Sun University. This mission was rather risky, so they didn't come.

These Mortal Evolution State people were considered significant in the Federation. Their experiences were quite interesting. Of course, they kept praising Lu Ze and LinLing.

As more and more defense forces arrived, more of them helped the police to move the citizens out from underground shelters. Their eyes were still filled with shock.

The sound of combat was so terrifying that even underground, they could still feel the vibrations. Several buildings had been affected by the battle, turning into ruins.

"The natural wormhole has disappeared, and all the Void Beasts have been annihilated. Everyone please leave accordingly and return to your homes. If your houses have been damaged, please report to the police. After verification, the federation will provide compensations."

"… It's really over?"

Some people, feeling this was unreal, asked for confirmation.

People didn't die?

The city was only damaged a little?

This entire thing only lasted half an hour?

Thinking about the state of the Xigui System, they felt everything was a dream.

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

Chapter 400. What Can They Do?

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

"Yes, it's over!" the defense force people said heavily.

They didn't see the battle, so it was normal that they didn't believe it. Even the soldiers didn't dare to accept it as the truth.

Only 84 were injured or killed in the thousands of defense force soldiers present here. This level of casualty is extremely small compared to the magnitude of the Void Beast attack.

Considering the unfortunate events in the Xigui System, this was barely anything.

The citizens started returning to their homes while some reported their losses and waited for the federal compensation.

Meanwhile, some very curious people ran out of the city and came to the battlefield region.

When they saw large craters and extremely huge Void Beast bodies being shipped away, they were shocked. Several people took photos of these scenes and sent it online.

'A few hundred Void Beasts came to our city and I actually lived!'

'Look at these big monsters! Most of them are a few hundred meters long; the longest one is a few thousand meters!'

All sorts of clips were uploaded immediately. After what the Xigui System experienced, not a single ordinary citizen died. This was a miracle!

This was all due to the defense force!

Of course, they didn't know about Lu Ze killing all the void beasts all by himself.

The working defense force people didn't send these curious citizens off. After all, this was their prideful work.

Ling Dongyu suddenly thought of something. He looked at the five people who were covered in blood next to Lu Ze. In confusion, he asked, "Lu Ze, who are they?"

The five Mortal Evolution States also looked over. Their attention was mainly on Lu Ze and Lin Ling before. They didn't care about those five.

Lu Ze smiled before responding. "They are the five guardians of the Eternal Life Palace."

Immediately, the joyful atmosphere changed. Those five Mortal Evolution States stared at the other five.

Immediately, they didn't feel too good.

Qiu Dongyi asked in a dazed manner, "Wait… Lu Ze, they're Eternal Life Palace guardians?"

Their purpose of coming to the Gracious System was to annihilate the Eternal Life Palace!

The wormhole was just a sudden occurrence!

Yet, those five they have ignored for so long were actually from the Eternal Life Palace?

Guardians were just below palace lords. Why were they in Lu Ze's hands?

Moreover, why do they look miserable?

Lu Ze grinned at this moment. "Yeah, they're still alive. I want to see if we can find the headquarters of the Eternal Life Palace through them."

It was a pity he didn't have an interrogation [Mental Force God Art] and these guys were unconscious for so long. Otherwise, he could've started interrogating them already.

The Kurter couple had been in this Solar System the longest. For a month, they had remained in the area, but they could only catch a few small fries.

The other three had been here for half a month but didn't find any high-levels from the Eternal Life Palace. Yet, at this moment, there were guardians of the Eternal Life Palace before them?

They were jealous. However, Lu Ze's power was not weaker than theirs. His talent was so absurd. There was no way they were going to pressure Lu Ze. Even if they could, Ling Dongyu was still there. Lu Ze, feeling confused, glanced at them. "Are you guys okay?"

Weren't they very happy just then?

The corners of their mouths could not help but twitch. Do you have no clue?

They represent large amounts of federal contribution points!

They had searched for so long just for these guys!

Thereafter, the Level four Mortal Evolution State youth said, "Lu Ze, if you find the base, there should be palace lords there. I can help."

Although Lu Ze already caught the five guardians, he hadn't found the base yet. If he did, he would probably need assistance. If Lu Ze could share some of the rewards with him, that would be great.

Even if Lu Ze didn't share any rewards, they would at least become closer to him. If he gave up now, he really would get nothing.

Compared to prodigies at a young duke level, he wasn't as good, but he wasn't even 100 this year, and yet, he was at Level four of the Mortal Evolution State. This was a pretty decent level of talent!

The other people's eyes lit up too.

Qiu Dongyi smiled. "The Eternal Life Palace is indeed a tumor that we need to get rid of. I'm willing to help."

"Me too," the other three said firmly.

Lu Ze felt touched. These people wanted to help him but… Lu Ze scratched his head. "If you're talking about the Gracious Planet's base, then I've already annihilated it. The two palace lords inside are called Leo and Jason. Both of them are dead now."

Upon hearing this, the bodies of the five Mortal Evolution States stiffened. Why did it become like this?

What could they do now?

Kurter looked down and began contemplating. Which planet had a good environment that was suitable for retirement?

Lin Ling looked at these five with pity. This retard was immature, but he was rather reliable when it came to missions.

Ling Dongyu and the rest looked at the five in pity. They felt bad as they called these guys for help after all.

Suddenly, Ling Dongyu's body froze. He opened the military communicator. Soon, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "The blade demons have initiated a battle!"

"What?!"

Lu Ze and the rest were a bit skeptical as well. They were equal in numbers, so why did they dare to start a war?

Ling Dongyu took a deep breath and said, "The border defense told us to be wary of any situations at our back. They didn't know what cards the blade demons had, but since, they dared to wage war, they definitely wanted to gain some advantage.

Ling Dongyu looked at Lu Ze and the rest. Apologetically, he said, "Sorry, I probably wouldn't be able to stay with you guys anymore."

He had to return to the headquarters and command.

Moreover, they were still injured too. Prompt treatment was needed to preserve combat power.

Lu Ze and everyone nodded.

At this point, Lu Ze suddenly thought of something. "By the way Commander Ling, don't forget what you promised me!"

Although Ling Dongyu had some business to finish, Lu Ze thought he should still remind him.

Those high-levels who were about to board the ship froze at the same time. On the side, Ling Dongyu had a headache. It was just ten pancakes. Was that necessary?

Nevertheless, he still smiled at Lu Ze. "Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze, I won't forget."

Lin Ling smiled too. "And mine as well."

"I won't forget, rest assured." Feeling confused, Qiu Dongyi and the rest looked at Lu Ze. Did he get some special reward?

Why was Ling Dongyu's reaction so strange then?

What a pity they had arrived too late!

After Ling Dongyu and the others left, Qiu Dongyi smiled. "Lu Ze and Lin Ling, I still have students here, so I'll be going first. If you have time, come visit Thousand Sun University. I will treat you guys."

As a teacher, he also brought the elite class students to train here. For these types of large missions, most schools had teachers to lead the squad, so students wouldn't be seriously injured or dead.

If students were confident enough, they could take on missions alone, but their powers need to be tested first.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling nodded in response. "Alright, we will visit when we're free. Goodbye, teacher Qiu."

With a smile, Kurter, Lorie, and the two other mortal evolution states spoke. "In that case, we'll leave too."
