147: Chapter 143 Senior Lu Zhentian, your son is the savior!

On the battlefield, the bodies of the four Overlord-tier BOSSes collapsed with a thunderous crash, lying across the wilderness like four massive mountains.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

But even more intense than that odor was the aura of fear.

"Hiss... Roar..."

The monsters that had blotted out the sky watched as those four colossal figures collapsed.

The frenzied bloodlust in their eyes was replaced by fear.

Overlord-tier BOSSes were entities that stood at the apex of the food chain in the monster world.

Yet now, four Overlord-tier BOSSes had been slain simultaneously!

Fear spread wildly among the monster hordes.

Thousands upon thousands of monsters let out terrified roars.

Like a receding tide, they fled frantically in every direction...

"The monster horde... is retreating!"

On the city wall, a soldier of the Demon Suppression Army suddenly shouted out.

"They're retreating! They're really retreating!"

"The monsters are retreating!!!"

The soldiers on the wall leaned out one after another.

They saw the monster army, which had been like a black ocean, dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Did we... win?"

Young soldiers slumped onto the wall.

Their bodies were covered in wounds, the blades in their hands were chipped, and it was impossible to tell if the liquid on their faces was tears or sweat.

But they were all smiling.

Smiling like children.

"We won! We won!!!"

Cheers, like a tidal wave, spread from one end of the wall to the other.

Soldiers embraced and wept, and students jumped for joy.

Ouyang Yao's gaze was dazed: "We survived! We all survived!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

No one knew who had shouted the name first.

Immediately after, everyone on the entire city wall began chanting the same name.

The roar of voices shook the heavens and echoed through the clouds.

...

In the wilderness, Lu Yuan stood on the shoulder of his Little Skeleton, hands in his pockets, his clothes flapping in the wind.

His four Magic Pets were covered in blood.

They followed silently behind Lu Yuan, walking slowly toward the Kyoto city gates.

With every step taken, the ground trembled slightly.

It was the sound of the dried monster blood, which had crusted over the ground, being crushed underfoot.

The cheers on the wall reached their peak the moment Lu Yuan approached.

Countless people waved their weapons, paying tribute to that young figure.

Their eyes were filled with fanaticism and worship.

It was as if they were welcoming a victorious general!

A faint smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

In that smile, there was no pride, no arrogance.

Only a sense of calm.

It was as if the earth-shattering battle just now had been nothing more than an ordinary stroll for him.

Just then, a white figure leaped down from the city wall.

Li Muyao landed in front of Lu Yuan like a light feather.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she gripped the corner of her clothes tightly.

Looking at her son covered in blood, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

After a long while, she finally reached out and gently wiped the blood from Lu Yuan's face.

"It's good that you're back..."

"It's good that you're back..."

Her voice was choked with emotion.

She had seen the entire battle just now.

Four Overlord-tier BOSSes had attacked Lu Yuan at the same time.

At that moment, her heart had almost jumped out of her throat.

She had even been prepared to risk her life.

Even if it meant burning her life force, she would protect her son.

But she had never expected that.

Not only had Lu Yuan held his own, but he had also slain all four Overlord-tier BOSSes in less than half an hour!

At that moment, Li Muyao felt proud in her heart.

But even more, she felt heartache.

Her son's strength was too great.

With great power comes great responsibility.

In the future, he would inevitably have to bear even heavier responsibilities!

"Mom, I'm fine." Lu Yuan smiled. "Look, I didn't even get a scratch."

Li Muyao looked up and carefully examined Lu Yuan.

Indeed.

Although Lu Yuan was covered in blood, it was all from the monsters.

Lu Yuan himself was completely unharmed.

"You..." Li Muyao shook her head helplessly. "You're just like your father, always liking to show off."

Saying that, her eyes were filled with pride.

...

Just then, a series of crisp and pleasant system notification sounds rang out one after another in Lu Yuan's mind.

[Your Magic Pet Slime has killed the Overlord-tier BOSS: Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon!]

[Your Magic Pet Little Skeleton has killed the Overlord-tier BOSS: Cart Titan Demon!]

[Your Magic Pet Iron-Eating Beast, ...]

[Calculating rewards...]

[Level-gap kill reward bonus: +300%]

[You have gained EXP: +23,000,000!]

[Your level has increased!]

[Your level has increased!]

[...]

Accompanied by the golden notification sounds, several dazzling white beams of light rose from Lu Yuan's body one after another.

One, two, three... A full eight beams of light from leveling up bloomed around his body in succession!

It made his figure look like a god descended to the world.

Everyone on the city wall was dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! Continuous leveling up?"

"Eight beams of light... did he just level up eight times?!"

"Going from over level 30 straight to over level 40? This leveling speed is too ridiculous!"

"If you could kill 4 Overlord-tier BOSSes in a row, you'd level up continuously too."

"And there were so many monsters..."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Class: Summoner (Mutated)]

[Class Quality: Diamond]

[Level: LV.41]

[Magic Pet Slots: 4 / 5]

[Current Magic Pets: Slime (LV.38), Little Skeleton (LV.39), Iron-Eating Beast (LV.37), Demon Pill (LV.34)]

At the same time, a large number of system notifications were still frantically flooding his screen.

[You have obtained Epic-grade equipment: Dragon Scale Robe (Epic) × 1]

[You have obtained Epic-grade equipment: Giant Bracers (Epic) × 1]

[You have obtained Epic-grade equipment: Shadow Boots (Epic) × 1]

[...]

[You have obtained Epic-grade materials: Dragon Heart (Epic) × 3]

[You have obtained Epic-grade materials: Frost Core (Epic) × 2]

[You have obtained Epic-grade materials: Hell's Pupil (Epic) × 1]

[...]

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Awesome!"

This battle not only caused his level to soar but also yielded a large amount of Epic-grade equipment and materials.

More importantly—once his level exceeded 40, he could summon a new Magic Pet!

Lu Yuan's gaze fell on that row of information, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He currently had four Magic Pets.

Each Magic Pet had its own unique combat style and Hextech Rune combination.

The Slime was a ranged damage dealer with percentage-based True Damage.

The Little Skeleton was a front-line tank.

The Iron-Eating Beast was a melee fighter.

The Demon Pill was an assassin.

He wondered what kind of Magic Pet he could summon this time.

...

Meanwhile, in the high sky outside Kyoto.

A brilliant golden light suddenly tore through the void.

A figure slowly walked out from the spatial rift.

He had white hair, a buzz cut, and a youthful face despite his white hair.

Although his black training suit was plain, wearing it gave him an imposing aura that was awe-inspiring without anger.

He was none other than one of the seven strongest people in the world, Lu Zhentian!

He had just rushed back from a distant frontier base city.

Before he even landed, he saw the scene outside the Kyoto city walls.

Everywhere were the remains of monsters.

Bones piled up like mountains!

Blood flowed like rivers!

The soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army on the city wall were slumped on the ground, some embracing and weeping, others carrying wounded soldiers into the city.

Further away, countless support-class professionals were weaving through the ruins, treating the injured.

Tragic!

Extremely tragic!

"Kyoto... actually encountered such a terrifying monster horde!?"

"But logically speaking, Kyoto's defensive strength is not enough to cope with the impact of such a monster horde."

"Looking at this, Kyoto not only held out..."

"But it also easily repelled the monster horde."

Lu Zhentian's heart sank slightly.

He slowly landed on the city wall.

His gaze swept over the corpses of those Overlord-tier BOSSes on the battlefield, and his pupils constricted slightly.

"Could it be... that some top-tier powerhouse appeared here?"

Such a battle result was definitely not something an ordinary professional could achieve.

Unless... another existence at the level of the world's strongest had intervened.

While Lu Zhentian was pondering, he saw a familiar figure.

General Yuan Muzhi!

This general of the Demon Suppression Army was currently covered in blood, standing at the very front of the city wall.

His battle blade was chipped, and the armor on his body was covered in cracks.

But his face was beaming with an excitement Lu Zhentian had never seen before.

It was an expression of seeing hope.

"General Yuan."

Lu Zhentian walked over with large strides.

When General Yuan Muzhi turned around and saw Lu Zhentian, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurried to greet him, gripping Lu Zhentian's hands tightly.

"Senior Lu Zhentian!!!"

General Yuan Muzhi's voice was filled with deep excitement and gratitude, even trembling slightly.

"Thank you!!!"

"Thank you for raising such an outstanding grandson!"

"It was you who saved Kyoto!"

"You saved the lives of these hundreds of millions of people!!!"

"???"

Lu Zhentian was stunned?!
