375: Chapter 375 The Dragon Whale Clan!

This was not the first time he had heard this name!

Back when he was in the Second Grade Realm, he had carried out a mission to purge cultists.

That cultist leader named Wang Guang was a fanatical believer who worshipped a certain entity from the Vast Sea Realm!

At that time, it was precisely by relying on Wen Ning's incredible, utterly unreasonable Mental Energy detection ability.

that he was able to silently infiltrate the enemy's stronghold, eventually sneak inside, kill his target, and complete the mission.

Thinking of Wen Ning, Qin Yan's heart rippled once more.

Now, his Mental Energy had broken through a hundred hertz, reaching 120 hertz, yet its detection range was only a dozen or so meters.

But back then, Wen Ning, merely at the first grade, could cover an entire small stronghold with her Mental Energy!

The gap between them was as vast as the heavens and the earth.

As his horizons broadened, he could now almost be certain that Wen Ning definitely possessed some extremely rare, perhaps even top-tier, special constitution or talent for Mental Energy!

Qin Yan sighed inwardly, 'If only I had her monstrous talent for Mental Energy, how great that would be.'

However, this thought flashed by in an instant as he pulled his attention back to Lu Youyou's account.

'The spatial location of the Vast Sea Realm is also a sea area, and the dominant race in that region is the fierce, warlike, massive, and water-element proficient Dragon Whale Clan!'

'And on our Blue Star side, the vanguard and core responsible for guarding this passage and resisting the invasion of the Dragon Whale Clan is our Modu University of Martial Arts!

'Therefore, one of the reasons for our school's existence is to guard this sea area, build a defensive line, and absolutely not allow other races to breach this place, endangering the hundreds of millions of compatriots behind us!'

By the end, Lu Youyou's tone also became firm and powerful, a hint of a martial artist's resolve and coldness appearing on her delicate face.

'So behind that wall lies such an important battlefield...'

Qin Yan was deeply shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he grew even more curious about the earth-shattering roar from a few days ago.

'Little Senior Sister, that violent tremor and loud noise I felt on campus a few days ago, is that also related to the Zhenhai Battlefield? What exactly happened then?'

Mentioning this, a trace of lingering fear also appeared on Lu Youyou's small face. She subconsciously patted her chest: 'You mean that... yes, something happened over at the Zhenhai Battlefield!'

She took a deep breath and began to recount: 'The Dragon Whale Clan is one of the overlord-level races in the Vast Sea Realm, possessing formidable strength.

'However, the ones directly facing our Zhenhai Battlefield are not the main Dragon Whale Clan, but a branch clan under its command.

'This branch originally had two Eighth-Rank Grandmasters stationed there. On our side, the Dean of the Third Academy of the University personally led elite forces to handle the frontal defense.'

'Originally, both sides maintained a dynamic balance, with attacks and defenses on both sides.

'But just a few days ago, within this Dragon Whale branch, another expert who was originally a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster successfully broke through.

'He advanced to the realm of an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster!'

Lu Youyou's voice unconsciously lowered, as if returning to the tense atmosphere of that time: 'This way, the enemy side possessed three top-tier combatants at the Great Grandmaster level!

'They clearly planned this in advance. Seizing the moment when the newly promoted Great Grandmaster's momentum was at its peak and our side might have lagging intelligence or be unprepared, the three Great Grandmasters brazenly joined forces and launched an unprecedented fierce assault, attempting to break through the defensive line in one fell swoop and tear open a gap!'

'The situation at that time was extremely critical!'

'The combined might of three Great Grandmasters was like a tsunami and the sky collapsing!

'If not for the fact that our Third Academy Dean's strength is unfathomable, and he single-handedly held off the three enemy Great Grandmasters for a considerable period, buying precious reaction time for the rear... the consequences would have been unthinkable!'

She paused, a deep admiration for that Third Academy Dean flashing in her eyes: 'Although the Third Academy Dean suffered quite serious injuries because of this, he successfully thwarted the enemy's plan for a quick victory, making them miss their best window for a surprise attack.'

'And then?' Qin Yan pressed, listening with his heartstrings taut.

'And then?'

A smile appeared on Lu Youyou's face, 'And then our university's Second Academy Dean—that is, Wangshu's grandfather—received the urgent call for aid and rushed over at the fastest speed!'

'The Second Academy Dean is also a veteran Great Grandmaster, his strength formidable.

'His addition instantly reversed the balance of high-end combat power.

'The two Deans joined forces, blocking the offensive of those three Dragon Whale Great Grandmasters, finally completely quelling this sudden large-scale assault.'

'That roar that shook the campus was, according to reports, the aftershock from when the Second Academy Dean arrived and clashed head-on with the enemy Great Grandmasters. He might have even used some powerful spirit weapon or secret technique.'

Lu Youyou concluded, patting her chest with her small hand, 'It was really close! If the Third Academy Dean hadn't held on back then, or if the Second Academy Dean's reinforcements had been a step slower, allowing those three Dragon Whale Great Grandmasters to break through the defensive line and charge into the base or even the campus...

'Then our human race's defensive forces in that area would have absolutely suffered heavy casualties! It might even have triggered a chain collapse!'

After listening, Qin Yan remained silent for a long time.

Although he hadn't experienced it personally, he could already sense the perilousness and the knife-edge tension of the battle situation from his Little Senior Sister's description.

Behind that seemingly silent city wall, such heart-stopping life-and-death struggles were playing out every moment, guarding the peace within the walls.

Towards that Third Academy Dean who fought one against three and turned the tide, Qin Yan's heart also rose with sincere respect.

That was the true backbone of the human race, the pillar that guarded a region and protected the younger generation.

'Little Junior Brother, you are now a Third Grade Limit martial artist.'

Lu Youyou turned her head, her gaze falling on Qin Yan as she said: 'According to the regulations of our Modu University of Martial Arts. With your level of strength, there's a high probability you will be conscripted by the university and dispatched to various frontline battlefields for training and support.'

Hearing this, Qin Yan nodded lightly.

He had long heard of this and understood the university's intention.

Not only Modu University, but all major human martial arts universities were like this.

After all, the territory of the human race faced threats from other realms at numerous points and across a wide front.

There were many battlefields that needed defending and expanding, and they were chronically short of personnel.

Deploying the excellent students they trained to the battlefields at the appropriate time was both a tempering and a responsibility.

Of course, this 'deployment' was not blindly sending them to their deaths.

The university would comprehensively consider the student's strength, potential, and specialties. They would usually assign them to relatively safe mission areas focused on training and auxiliary defense, and there would be experienced mentors or officers leading the team.

The goal was to let the young eagles experience storms and learn to fight, not to have their wings broken on the battlefield.

Some casualties were unavoidable, but excessively high casualty rates, especially among geniuses, were something no side could bear.

'So, Little Senior Sister, what you mean is...?'

Qin Yan looked at Lu Youyou, knowing that since she specifically brought this up, there must be more to follow.
