80: The truth of the world, the secrets, and the non-existent third martial saint!

Saying that, Yang Yi tapped his right wristband.

A virtual image was projected onto the wall.

In the picture, a team of fully armed special forces Soldiers were frantically firing at an elephant.

The elephant's eyes were crimson, and its skin was a sickly red.

Its tusks were several meters long!

A torrential rain of bullets poured down on the elephant.

But they left no mark on its body; the bullets simply bounced off.

The elephant charged wildly, its tusks easily impaling and tossing aside one fully armed special forces Soldier after another.

The battle dragged on for a while longer.

After the ten-person special forces team paid the price of five dead and two injured,

the elephant finally collapsed under the bombardment of tanks that arrived as reinforcements.

Yang Yi pressed pause, the smile on his face replaced by calmness.

He pointed at the elephant on the screen and said in a deep voice:

"This was the first World Echo."

"The scene you are seeing is the consequence of the first World Echo."

"Countless animals suddenly went berserk and mutated. Animals like hounds and elephants, which originally only needed one bullet to kill, suddenly mutated to require RPGs or even rockets to eliminate them."

Yang Yi tapped his wristband again, and the screen continued to play, but the content changed.

Li Ziyu's eyes flickered.

He had just caught another unfamiliar term: World Echo.

He continued to look at the projection.

This time, it was no longer an elephant, but a monster he had never seen before.

It was as tall as a three-story building.

Its neck was covered in a ring of protruding armor.

It looked a bit like a Triceratops recorded in history books.

But unlike the Triceratops described in books, this Triceratops was covered in tumor-like growths.

They were dense and numerous.

The tumorous Triceratops was surrounded by hundreds of main battle tanks.

In the sky, there were rows of armed helicopters loaded with missiles.

"This is a scene from the second World Echo."

"It was no longer mutated fierce beasts, but monsters that mysteriously appeared on Blue Star, monsters that had never appeared before."

"What you are seeing is the scene of the battle when the army discovered this monster,"

Yang Yi pressed pause and explained in a deep voice.

At this moment, the screen moved again.

The main battle tanks surrounding the tumorous Triceratops began to flash flames from their fist-sized muzzles.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of main battle tanks fired simultaneously.

In the sky, armed helicopters also launched missiles at the Triceratops beast!

"This kind of firepower could destroy a town!"

"That monster should be dead, right?"

Sun Qiming, who was beside him, widened his eyes and whispered.

The rest of the students in the classroom also held their breath.

Under this kind of firepower, if it were them...

No!

Let alone them!

Even a Grade 3 or even Grade 4 Martial Artist might not be able to withstand it.

Li Ziyu's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the screen without blinking.

He had a faint guess as to what Yang Yi was going to say.

On the screen, the smoke and dust from the cannon fire dispersed.

The moment the scene became clear, all the students present collectively gasped.

They saw that amidst the encirclement of hundreds of main battle tanks and armed helicopters, the Triceratops covered in tumors was completely unharmed!

Its blood vessels were clearly visible, and the tumorous lumps that looked like they could be pierced with a little force didn't even break the skin!

And in the next second, the Triceratops beast moved!

It let out a roar, raising its head.

Immediately after, the dense tumors on its body directly detached and shot towards the surrounding tanks and helicopters that were attacking it.

At this point, the screen abruptly stopped.

"Holy crap! When was this recorded? The army on site wasn't completely wiped out, were they?"

"Damn, just looking at the defense of that Triceratops, it's definitely a Grade 5 fierce beast, right?"

"How was it finally resolved?"

The scene suddenly fell silent, then exclamations and discussions rose one after another.

Everyone looked at Yang Yi in the center of the stage with confused faces.

Yang Yi raised his hand to quiet the room, and once it was silent, he said with a heavy expression:

"Finally, the military dispatched H-9K bombers, dropping six anti-ship missiles, but they couldn't even harm that monster in the slightest."

"As a last resort, the military launched a strategic nuclear bomb to eliminate it."

"And at the same time, there were ten other such monsters that appeared!"

"To eliminate these monsters, the price Daxia paid at that time is absolutely unimaginable to us now."

Yang Yi's face was heavy.

The students present also seemed to think of something, pressing their lips together and remaining silent.

Everyone seemed to understand the message Yang Yi wanted to convey to them today, and for a moment, no one spoke.

At this moment, Sun Qiming couldn't help but raise his hand, and when Yang Yi looked at him, he pointed at the screen and asked:

"Teacher, when was the record of the battle with that Triceratops?"

This question hit the nail on the head.

Li Ziyu thought to himself.

After this question was asked, everyone present held their breath and pricked up their ears.

"Two hundred years ago."

"Two hundred years ago? Wasn't that when Martial Artists first rose?"

"I remember two hundred years ago, news reported that many places experienced natural disasters and earthquakes."

"Back then, to combat the disasters, Soldiers stood on the front lines, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives, and many areas were designated as human forbidden zones."

"Could it be... that the Soldiers sacrificed back then weren't because of natural disasters?"

"Was it because of those monsters?"

Sun Qiming's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Yang Yi nodded.

Seeing that the classroom was about to become chaotic again, Yang Yi raised his hand to calm them down, signaling the students to stop discussing.

Then he tapped his wrist again.

This time, it was no longer a video, but a blurry image.

Only four tall figures could be vaguely seen on it.

Three people stood side by side.

They were in a standoff with a humanoid figure opposite them, whose height was clearly not human.

Yang Yi pointed at the three people standing side by side and explained:

"This is Xingyao Wusheng, one of the three great Martial Saints of humanity today. The two standing beside him are the Supreme Path Martial Saint and the Transcendent Martial Saint, respectively, and the one fighting with the three Martial Saints is the monster that appeared in the third World Echo!"

"The time was one hundred years after the second World Echo, which means one hundred years ago!"

Speaking of this, Yang Yi paused, his expression seeming to show some lingering fear.

"That monster had a force field that disrupted electromagnetic equipment; all electronic devices were ineffective against it. This only existing photo was barely captured by the official military satellite."

"Three great Martial Saints? Aren't there only two great Martial Saints among humans?"

Li Ziyu frowned.

From all the information he had ever encountered, including news propaganda and historical textbooks,

there had only ever been two Martial Saints in Daxia's history.

One was the Supreme Path Martial Saint, the founder of the current Ji Dao Martial Hall.

The other was the Transcendent Martial Saint, the founder of the current Beyond Martial Hall.

Where did a third Martial Saint come from?
