19: SSS-level martial arts, set off first!

“Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a choice.”

“Choice One: Give up organizing a large-scale army to attack the fierce beasts outside the Mobei Province territory, sparing their lives for one year. Reward: One SSS-level Lightning-element Spirit Fruit.”

“Choice Two: Immediately launch a full-scale attack, wiping out the fierce beasts outside the territory. Reward: SSS-level martial skill “Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens” upgraded to its strongest form and its comprehension elevated to Perfection.”

Xu Yi looked at the two system options that suddenly popped up in his mind and immediately stopped his steps.

After quickly browsing through them, he directly ignored the ridiculous Choice One.

His three major Defense Line armies had already assembled, and the arrow was on the string, ready to be fired.

It was impossible for him to miss this excellent opportunity to attack the fierce beasts just for a mere SSS-level Lightning-element Spirit Fruit!

In contrast, Choice Two not only aligned with what he was about to do, but the reward it offered was also quite good, not inferior to an SSS-level Lightning-element Spirit Fruit!

On Blue Star, the comprehension level of martial skills, from low to high, is generally divided into Entry, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Proficiency, and Perfection.

This SSS-level martial skill, “Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens,” was something he had obtained at a top-tier auction by spending a large amount of resources and leveraging his identity as the Mobei Province General.

Its power was immense, but due to its high difficulty and other interfering matters, his progress in comprehension had been slow, resulting in it only reaching the Minor Accomplishment realm until now…

But now, the system actually gave him an opportunity to directly upgrade this martial skill to its strongest form and elevate his comprehension to Perfection.

Xu Yi was very tempted.

Immediately, he decisively said to the system in his mind, “System, I choose Two!”

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the SSS-level martial skill “Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens” upgraded to its strongest form and its comprehension elevated to Perfection.”

As the system’s voice fell, Xu Yi felt a warm and powerful force surge into his mind.

Then, he skillfully closed his eyes and began to digest the memory instilled by the system.

In a moment, his comprehension of “Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens” reached Perfection!

And after the system’s repair and enhancement, the power unleashed when he used it was even greater than before!

Xu Yi then opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

A shock flashed through his heart. “So this is the true power of Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens!”

He was already impatient to go to the territory battlefield and find fierce beasts to test it out!

Then, in a very good mood, he walked out of the warplane…

“Greetings, Defense Envoy Sir!”

Wang Xian and the others outside had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Xu Yi walk out of the warplane, they all respectfully saluted, their eyes filled with admiration and reverence.

Especially after learning that Xu Yi had broken through to Martial Emperor in just two weeks, this reverence reached its peak!

Currently, only Xu Yi throughout Blue Star could break through so quickly.

“You all need not be so formal.”

Xu Yi’s gaze gently swept over the crowd before him.

Wang Xian quickly stepped forward, his expression full of excitement, saying, “Reporting, Defense Envoy Sir, the Eastern Defense Line army has assembled according to your requirements and is ready to depart at any time…”

Xu Yi nodded deeply upon hearing this, then ascended the nearby review stand.

His tall figure stretched long in the sunlight.

His sharp gaze swept over the densely packed, fully equipped martial artists and soldiers on the parade ground.

Under the sunlight, their armor reflected dazzling light, like a torrent of steel, poised and majestic!

And all eyes on the parade ground were now focused on him.

“Soldiers!”

Xu Yi’s voice was very deep, echoing in the ears of all the martial artists on the entire parade ground.

“Today, we gather here not to defend against fierce beasts, but to counterattack!”

“For our brothers who sacrificed in the beast tide, for our homeland, for the peace of Mobei Province, we will take the initiative to attack!”

“Let those fierce beasts who have repeatedly invaded our territory know our might!”

“…”

After Xu Yi’s voice fell, the martial artists below responded in unison, a rolling wave of momentum, like a rainbow!

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

The shouts were deafening, soaring to the sky!

Just as the atmosphere reached its climax, Xu Yi’s communication ring received a message.

The two Generals of the Western Defense Line and Central Defense Line both reported that their armies were fully equipped and ready, awaiting only Xu Yi’s command to immediately enter battle!

Xu Yi saw this and a satisfied smile played on his lips.

“Good…”

He had waited a long time for this moment.

It was finally their turn to launch a full-fledged attack on the fierce beasts outside the territory!

He then turned to face the assembled army, his voice strong and clear. “Now, all units, advance! Launch an attack on the fierce beasts outside the territory!”

With the command issued, the entire Eastern Defense Line seemed to be driven by an invisible force.

Warplanes roared, tanks rumbled.

All martial artists were fully armed!

Except for leaving necessary defensive forces to prevent any sudden mishaps on the Defense Line, the assembled army of over two hundred thousand martial artists, under the precise command of officers at all levels, began their mighty assault on the fierce beasts!

...

After Xu Yi handed over command of the Eastern Defense Line army to Wang Xian, he turned and entered the thunder ink.

He planned to depart first to eliminate those high-level fierce beasts to avoid unnecessary casualties.

The remaining beast tides he couldn't clear would be handled by the three major Defense Line armies sweeping the battlefield.

The entire Mobei Province territory battlefield was vast, and it was unrealistic for him to eliminate all the beast tides by himself…

“Ling Meng, proceed to the Mobei Province territory battlefield!”

Xu Yi said to Ling Meng, who was waiting for his command inside the thunder ink.

“As you command, Master.”

Ling Meng’s voice was clear and pleasant.

Then, the thunder ink’s engine roared, and its fuselage trembled slightly, like a giant beast awakened.

After a deafening roar, it soared into the sky, heading straight for the territory battlefield!

The warplane’s speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, it surpassed the air force warplane group that had departed first after his command.

On the large screen inside the warplane, cursors flickered, clearly displaying the positions of the three armies, like three sharp swords pointing directly at the heartland of the fierce beasts!

As the thunder ink continued to penetrate deeper, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier, and the roars of fierce beasts rose and fell.

Xu Yi, riding the warplane, skillfully weaved through the clouds.

Many fierce beasts were caught off guard and instantly turned into black ash by the purple lightning that suddenly descended from high altitude!

Xu Yi’s perception was fully open, clearly detecting a faint trace of a Beast Saint’s aura nearby.

Though very weak, it could not escape his perception!

“Found you…”

Xu Yi muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
