101: Become a god: Pick the stars with your hands!
The figure in the sky arrived in an instant.
As the strong wind swept by, a Dragon's roar faintly echoed.
Whoosh!
Dust rose everywhere as the figure landed.
Zheng Yun looked closely, his heart filled with shock.
He had lived for almost 70 years.
This was the first time he had seen a human with such extraordinary temperament.
His posture was tall and straight, his physique long and slender.
An undeniable majesty emanated from him.
It was an innate imperial Qi, making people instinctively want to submit, to bow down in reverence.
His magnificent long robe was adorned with countless shimmering stars, as if a vast galaxy flowed across his lapels.
Even common soldiers with limited experience could tell that this equipment was no less than orange-grade.
Immediately, everyone looked at Qin Yang with awe, without a trace of Impurities.
In this world, combat power came from two sources: skills and equipment.
Wearing a full set of orange-grade equipment, even a Rank 10 Professional's strength could not be underestimated.
And in Zheng Yun's eyes, Qin Yang, with his flowing robes, was like an exiled immortal.
From the moment he landed on the city wall, Zheng Yun vaguely sensed that Qin Yang's attributes far exceeded his own; he was clearly not a Rank 20 Professional.
"Young Master Qin... Young Master Qin."
"I am Zheng Yun, the Lieutenant General of Jingming City's garrison."
Zheng Yun's gaze was a little evasive.
By age, he was an elder to Qin Yang's elders.
But in front of him, he felt an indescribable panic, like a child.
Qin Yang nodded faintly and said to Zheng Yun, "Lieutenant General Zheng, do not relax your vigilance. The intelligence from Hongwu City should have mentioned that among the invading demonic beasts this time, there is also an Ancient Dragon."
Hearing this, the other defenders all tensed up.
A Lieutenant General stammered, "An Ancient Dragon! That's a monarch..."
"Shut up!"
Zheng Yun glared at the Lieutenant General.
Then he cupped his hands towards Qin Yang and whispered, "Young Master Qin, to stabilize the morale of the army, I did not disclose the matter of the Ancient Dragon. I hope you understand..."
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
Indeed.
With Jingming City's current defensive strength.
Just the four words "Ancient Dragon" would be enough to scare them witless.
If they were told the truth, morale would most likely collapse, and they wouldn't even be able to hold the first wave of attack.
Fortunately, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had also brought them considerable shock.
At this moment, hearing that an Ancient Dragon was descending, the Professionals would not yet collapse.
After all, when the sky falls, there's a tall one to hold it up.
With Qin Yang's combat power present, everyone felt they had a backbone.
However, before seeing the Ancient Dragon's attributes, Qin Yang was not entirely confident he could defeat it.
"Lin Xiaoer is coming from Annihilation Sea, but it's still unknown when she will arrive at the battlefield."
"The most important thing right now is to kill as many demonic beasts as possible and gain a few more Ranks."
"Opportunities like a demonic beast invasion don't come often."
Thinking of this, Qin Yang said to Zheng Yun, "Have all the Professionals below the city come up."
"Have them come up?" Zheng Yun was stunned.
At this moment, a melee was taking place below the city.
If the Professionals retreated, the Dragonkin Soldiers would threaten the city wall.
But before Zheng Yun could ask, Qin Yang had already floated into the air.
His already star-flowing long robe was further draped in a layer of radiance, making him look like a Heavenly God descending.
He merely raised his hand slightly, reaching towards the sky.
His movements were slow, yet incredibly powerful.
"Oh no, he's going to unleash a big move!"
Zheng Yun felt the energy within the starlight.
He immediately threw out three Talismans for sound transmission and shouted, "Everyone, retreat to the city wall!"
At this moment, the Professionals below the city also felt waves of energy fluctuations.
It was as if something was about to descend from the sky.
At the same time, it wasn't just the Professionals who had this perception.
The Dragonkin Soldiers also grew anxious, becoming hesitant and losing their will to fight.
This gave the human Professionals an even greater opportunity to quickly disengage. Upon hearing the command, they retreated to the city wall without a moment's hesitation.
Just then,
A huge buzzing sound rang out.
The clouds in the sky suddenly parted in a circular shape!
Immediately after, a meteorite, the size of a small mountain, plunged down.
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
Seeing the meteorite descend, all the Professionals were dumbfounded.
The entire city wall erupted in exclamations of shock.
Even Zheng Yun, nearing 70, couldn't help but curse.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon earlier was already shocking enough.
What kind of Divine Ability was this, summoning a meteorite?
Even for a legendary-Rank Professional, it was a bit exaggerated, wasn't it?
Zheng Yun clutched his heart, forcing himself to calm down.
Although the meteorite was heading towards the distant Dragonkin Soldiers.
The impact's aftermath it would cause was absolutely not to be underestimated.
"Quick! Get inside the city wall!"
Zheng Yun roared at all the Professionals.
With that, he jumped down towards the interior of the city wall.
Immediately after, a violent roar echoed in the distance.
The sound seemed to shatter the sky.
The ground shook, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose, like a menacing demon.
And beneath the mushroom cloud, large areas of forest were reduced to scorched earth.
The black ground burned with red flames, like Hell.
And in this Hell, no living creature existed.
Except for Qin Yang, floating in the air.
[You killed a Rank 40 Dragonkin Warrior, Experience +30000.]
[You killed a Rank 40 Dragonkin Warrior, Experience +30000.]
...Experience notifications flooded the screen.
Qin Yang's Rank increased wildly.
Rank 39, Rank 40, Rank 41... Rank 45!
In just 1 second, he absorbed tens of millions of experience points, completing what most people would take a lifetime to achieve.
At this instant, not only were his attributes soaring.
His Professional skills were also improving one by one.
[Professional Skill: See Me As Heaven, upgraded to Lv.2.]
[Professional Skill: Imperial Guards, upgraded to Lv.2.]
[Professional Skill: Summon Hero, upgraded to Lv.2.]
..."Comfortable!"
At this moment, Qin Yang felt his blood surging, his entire body refreshed.
He couldn't help but let out a roar, accompanied by a high-pitched Dragon's roar.
The Dragon's roar was long and continuous, yet it plunged the entire Jingming City into silence.
The people inside the city didn't know what had happened.
They didn't even know if the person who let out this Dragon's roar was friend or foe.
They all dared not make a sound,
Fearing to anger that terrifying existence in the distance.
And the garrison soldiers who witnessed the meteorite's descent were even more under pressure and shock, not even daring to breathe loudly.
They only dared to sigh internally.
"Today, I've truly seen something new. This is a legendary-Rank Professional. Who could possibly defeat him?"
"It's like a dream. I actually fought alongside a legendary-Rank Professional..."
"He can summon a meteorite with a raise of his hand. What the Hell... how is he any different from a God?"
The Professionals of Jingming City didn't know Qin Yang too well.
If this were Hongwu City,
Everyone's worldview would probably be shattered.
Two months ago, Qin Yang was still a cynical Young Master.
Now, he had transformed into a deity, plucking stars with a raise of his hand.
This change would be difficult for anyone to accept.
For example, Zheng Yun, who knew Qin Yang somewhat.
"It's truly dreamlike..."
"The former profligate has actually grown to this extent!"
Zheng Yun gazed up at the sky.
Qin Yang's figure had already vanished into the starlight.
He was like a constant star, illuminating the earth.
Instantly, a feeling of submission welled up in Zheng Yun's heart, and he murmured, "The Qin Family... is about to produce an Emperor."
...Retired Emperors: There's one more chapter today!
