24: Past events on Blue Star, martial arts upgrade!

Actually, since the spiritual energy revival and the full-scale outbreak of the beast crisis, the beast race, relying on their powerful physiques and innate talents, quickly occupied vast territories on Earth.

The once expansive ocean regions, formerly under human control, have now become a paradise for sea beasts.

Human forces have completely lost control of the oceans, able only to huddle on land and resist.

Although many powerhouses who awakened martial arts talents quickly emerged among humans, they still seemed weak and isolated compared to the fierce beasts.

The loss of the ocean not only meant the loss of resources but also a significant compression of human living space.

However, fortunately, the beast race was not a monolithic entity.

At the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, fierce battles often erupted among the major beast tribes for territory and resources.

This internal strife gave humanity a chance to breathe, allowing them to survive in the cracks and gradually form a balanced situation with the beasts.

But the good times did not last.

In recent years, with the rise of the "Beast God Alliance," formed by the most powerful divine-level beasts on Blue Star, the previously dispersed power of the beast race has been integrated to an unprecedented degree!

They stopped the pointless infighting among various races and instead turned their aggression towards humanity.

Under the coordination of the Beast God Alliance, the beast race began to launch planned and targeted attacks on human forces.

Humanity's disadvantages gradually became magnified.

Many small forces, already barely surviving, were successively annihilated under the rampage of the beasts........

Xu Yi no longer thought much.

He withdrew his thoughts and refocused his gaze on the two system options before him.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although option one contained three SSS-level Lightning-element Spirit Fruits, he could not allow his Eastern Defense Line to be devastated by those two Beast Emperors.

Going to support them now was definitely not too late.

Then, Xu Yi said to the system in his mind.

"System, I choose two!"

["Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 1 SSS-level Lightning-element Spirit Fruit, SSS-level Thunder Axe Splits the Sky has been upgraded to SSS-level and its comprehension has been elevated to perfection, S-level Thunder Shadow Fist has been upgraded to SSS-level, and S-level Thunder Shadow Flash Step has been upgraded to SSS-level."]

As the system's voice fell, an SSS-level Spirit Fruit, its surface entwined with blue lightning, appeared in his infinite storage space.

At the same time, three streams of martial skill memories surged into his mind like a tide.

Xu Yi closed his eyes, concentrating, and quickly digested these memories.

When he opened his eyes again, lightning flickered in them, and his expression was filled with shock!

"So, the limit of this Thunder Shadow Fist that I created myself is actually this strong!" Xu Yi muttered to himself, his heart filled with pleasant surprise!

Thunder Shadow Fist was an S-level lower-tier martial skill he had created with great effort when he was at the Martial Emperor level.

He had always been proud of it before, believing he had made significant achievements in martial arts.

To be able to create a martial skill that barely reached S-level at the Martial Emperor level, even if it was only a lower-tier S-level, already surpassed too many martial artists of the same rank.

But only when the system upgraded it to SSS-level and made it the strongest did Xu Yi realize how naive his previous thoughts were.

Compared to SSS-level, his S-level Thunder Shadow Fist was completely a trash martial skill.

Many of his ideas were wrong, which was why it could only barely become an S-level and was in the ranks of lower-tier martial skills........

After adjusting his mindset, Xu Yi stood up.

He felt the surging, immense power within him, and the greatly increased cultivation, after absorbing numerous cultivation resources and cultivating for a week.

A confident smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

With the Lei Yuan Divine Body, his cultivation speed was no longer what it used to be!

With his current strength, even if those two Beast Emperors reached their peak level, they would never be able to easily take him down.

And if they had no trump cards, there was a high probability he would kill them instead!

"Let you come with life, but return without it......." Xu Yi's voice was low.

The killing intent around him seemed to materialize, and his eyes were as sharp as blades cutting through the surrounding air.

Then he prepared to go and stop these two Beast Emperors who wanted to attack the Eastern Defense Line while he was cultivating.

Xu Yi's figure flickered, and like a ghost, he shot out of the cultivation room and arrived inside the colossal "thunder ink" parked in the center of the manor.

Xu Yi sat in the pilot's seat, exuding an imposing aura that could not be underestimated, and instructed the holographic projection of Ling Meng that popped up before him.

"Xiao Meng, activate full-speed mode, target the Eastern Defense Line! Also, help me contact General Wang Xian."

Upon receiving Xu Yi's command, Ling Meng responded with a clear voice.

"Understood, Master, full-speed mode activated, coordinates locked on Eastern Defense Line, attempting to contact General Wang Xian......"

As the command was executed, the thunder ink's engine roared, and its fuselage vibrated slightly.

Immediately after, like a black lightning bolt streaking across the sky, the clouds above Tianchi City were split in two, leaving a brilliant trail of light.

It sped towards the Eastern Defense Line at an astonishing speed.......

On the large screen inside the fighter jet, Ling Meng's efficiency was also very high, almost instantly establishing contact with Wang Xian.

Wang Xian's holographic projection appeared on the screen.

He looked somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting to receive a call from Xu Yi at this time.

"Sir, is there something you need from your subordinate?"

"After your last personal leadership in our massacre of the Northern Wilderness Area, the beasts here at the Eastern Defense Line no longer pose a threat to us........" Wang Xian started talking nonstop, falling into his old habit of being long-winded, clearly wanting to report the recent situation to Xu Yi.

Seeing this, Xu Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

He was all too familiar with the personality of this old subordinate who had followed him for many years.

If he didn't interrupt, he wouldn't stop for dozens of minutes.

So Xu Yi quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, Wang Xian, stop for a moment."

"I didn't come to reminisce with you; I have something important to tell you." His tone was very serious, causing Wang Xian to involuntarily close his mouth.

Xu Yi continued with a solemn expression.

"I have a premonition that the Eastern Defense Line will face a major crisis from underground!"

"Immediately have the intelligence department's detection instruments focus on observing the ground, and at the same time, organize the army to heighten their vigilance and be ready for battle at any time."

"I am currently rushing towards your location and will arrive shortly......." Wang Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt upon hearing this.

But seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, he felt it wasn't a joke.

He could only suppress his confusion and immediately straightened his back, responding loudly.

"Understood, Sir! Your subordinate will arrange it immediately!" Xu Yi nodded and proactively ended the communication, while Wang Xian also began to carry out the orders Xu Yi had just given him.

..........

As time continued to pass, the thunder ink streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed.

Soon, it arrived in the vicinity of the Eastern Defense Line.

Xu Yi looked at the calm and peaceful Eastern Defense Line base on the large screen before him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good, I'm not too late......."
