164: Chapter 160 With me, the human race, what is there to fear?

Inside the conference room, there was a deathly silence.

A moment later, an elderly man with graying hair slowly raised his head.

His eyes carried a deep sense of exhaustion and helplessness.

"Wipe out those monsters?"

"That's easy to say..."

"Even the War King couldn't do it, so how could a mere punk like him?"

Several other experts nearby also shook their heads and sighed.

"It's good for young people to have drive."

"But the enemies on the Starry Sky Battlefield cannot be defeated by drive alone."

"The War King has guarded the Starry Sky Battlefield for decades, slaughtering countless alien races."

"Even he himself admitted defeat... what can we possibly do?"

The aura of despair spread through the conference room like an invisible tide.

These people were all top-tier experts guarding the capital.

Some had even fought their way out step by step from battlefields of blood and fire.

Usually, each of them was confident that they were not inferior to anyone.

But at this moment, it was as if their backbones had been ripped out.

They slumped in their chairs, their eyes vacant.

Because the one who crushed them was no one else.

It was the War King.

It was the number one powerhouse of the human race.

It was the strongest figure in human history.

It was their faith!

Even the War King had admitted defeat.

If they had to run away, then what could they do?

They could only wait for death.

Lu Yuan did not turn back; he simply spoke calmly.

"So what if it's the War King?"

"If he says we are defeated, must we be defeated?"

"If he says we have lost, must we have lost?"

"If he says we must run, must we scurry away from Blue Star like stray dogs?"

The voice was not loud.

But it exploded in the deathly silent conference room like a thunderclap!

All the despairing gazes instinctively converged on that young figure.

"Whether humanity falls will not be decided by the War King."

"It will be decided by me, Lu Yuan!"

Lu Yuan's voice remained calm.

Yet beneath that calm, there surged a power that made one's heart palpitate.

He turned his head slightly.

The sunlight outlined the contours of his young profile.

In those eyes, there was not a shred of fear or retreat.

Only a sharp edge... that made it impossible for others to look directly at him.

The conference room fell into silence once again.

But this time, that silence carried a completely different aura.

The previously gray-haired old man slowly raised his head.

He looked at that young back.

Looking at the arrogance and dominance radiating from his body.

He suddenly felt his old face burning.

That's right...

They had lived for half a lifetime.

Having experienced countless battles and countless brushes with death.

Yet in the end, they were not as clear-sighted as an eighteen-year-old boy.

The War King was defeated, so humanity must perish?

What kind of bullshit logic is that!

The War King is not the only human.

Humanity is the millions of them!

If one person falls, millions more will stand up!

A burly man slammed the table and stood up.

"Damn it!"

"I've lived for forty years and have been through mountains of blades and seas of fire!"

"Am I still afraid of death?"

"If I'm going to die, I'll die standing!"

Another female professional also stood up, her eyes sharp.

"Even a youth has such courage; we old folks can't just let him shoulder it alone!"

"The War King can choose to flee without fighting."

"But I can't!"

More and more people stood up.

Flames rekindled in their eyes.

"Fight!"

"Fight to the bloody end!"

"Only by standing can we live; there is no such thing as dying on our knees!"

"So what if the human race is defeated? Even if only one person is left, we must bite a piece of flesh off the enemy!"

The atmosphere in the conference room transformed from desperate silence to boiling fighting spirit.

Although, deep down, they still didn't believe humanity could win.

Many had even prepared themselves for sacrifice.

That wasn't just a slogan.

It was their determination.

Fighting to the last drop of blood.

Fighting to the last human warrior.

This was the true destination of a warrior!

But just then, hum!!!

A blinding golden pillar of light suddenly shot up from the direction of Star Academy!

Immediately after, a grand announcement echoed throughout the campus!

[Congratulations! Student Lu Yuan's Magic Pet — Flame Magic Pill, has cleared the Tower of Endlessness! Obtained one Starry Sky Inheritance!]

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

What? The Demon Pill... cleared the Tower of Endlessness?

Before they could react — hum!!!

Another pillar of light shot into the sky!

Even more dazzling and brilliant than the last!

[Congratulations! Student Lu Yuan's Magic Pet — Demon Skeleton King, has cleared the Tower of the Starry Sky! Obtained one Starry Sky Inheritance!]

Inside the conference room, there was deathly silence.

Someone opened their mouth wide.

Someone's eyes went round.

Because this meant that the Little Skeleton had also cleared it?!

But it wasn't over yet!

Hum!!! The third pillar of light followed immediately, shooting into the clouds!

Casting a layer of golden radiance over the entire sky!

[Congratulations! Student Lu Yuan's Magic Pet — Goblin, has cleared the Tower of Spirit! Obtained one Starry Sky Inheritance!]

The three announcements were like three thunderclaps!

Exploding one after another over Star Academy!

The entire academy was boiling!

All the students looked up in disbelief at the three golden pillars of light piercing the heavens and the earth.

Their minds were blank.

"Three... three Towers of Inheritance, cleared at the same time?!"

"How is this possible!!"

"The Slime had already cleared the Tower of Conquest before! Counting these three... Lu Yuan's Magic Pet has actually cleared all the Towers of Inheritance!"

"This is not a human!"

"This is a god!!!"

Inside the conference room, those experts who had just been struggling in despair and were prepared to die in battle.

Were now all stunned.

They stood with their mouths open, staring blankly at the three golden pillars of light outside the window.

Their minds were blank.

They had just prepared to face death.

And yet, Lu Yuan told them...

That his Magic Pet had already cleared all the Towers of Inheritance?!

You have to know, these Towers of Inheritance had never been cleared by anyone since the beginning of Blue Star.

Never by anyone.

And Lu Yuan, alone.

Took less than three days.

To clear all four Towers of Inheritance?!

This... this is simply a myth!

The gray-haired old man's lips trembled as he looked at Lu Yuan's back.

"You..." "You..."

He stammered for a long time but couldn't say a complete sentence.

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He did not turn back.

He just lifted his feet and walked out the door.

The moment he pushed open the conference room door.

The blinding morning sun slanted into the gloomy conference room.

Sweeping away the remaining gloom in everyone's eyes.

With such a genius in the human race!

What is there to fear?
