170: Chapter 170 The Rekindled Fighting Spirit, Visitors from Outer Space!
Within the Alien Race Prodigies' camp at this moment.
A massive figure with two long whiskers, resembling a catfish, began to shimmer with white light.
This was a Saint-rank Alien Race Prodigy.
"What?!"
"Me?"
This Alien Race Prodigy looked at the white light on his body, pointed a finger at himself, then glanced bewilderedly at his companions around him. His mind buzzed, and his form began to tremble uncontrollably.
He had witnessed just how terrifying Li Fan's strength was moments ago.
Even Zi Mu's self-destruction had failed to inflict any damage on Li Fan.
So how could he possibly be Li Fan's match?
Wouldn't stepping forward be nothing but a death sentence?
Meanwhile, the other Alien Race Prodigies nearby showed no excessive relief in their eyes.
Because it was highly likely that the next one would be them.
At this moment,
a mood of panic permeated the entire Alien Race Prodigies' camp.
Zi Mu's crushing defeat had dealt them an immense blow.
"It's over. If this continues, we're definitely going to lose!"
"Li Fan's strength is indeed a bit outrageous. But with Qing Chen and the others here, it's not completely hopeless. The real fear is that our fighting spirit will be shattered before we even begin, that we'll be too afraid to fight!"
Watching this scene from the spectator stands, the Alien Race Hall Masters all inwardly cried out in dismay, heartsick with anxiety.
Given the current situation, if the Alien Race Prodigies couldn't unite and stabilize their fighting spirit, the ensuing scenario would be a total collapse, with Li Fan sweeping through them all!
For a moment,
some Alien Race Hall Masters couldn't help but rise anxiously, shouting towards the Beast Fighting Arena, trying to steady the situation.
But unfortunately, their voices were completely blocked. Everything depended on the Alien Race Prodigies themselves.
And it was precisely during this anxious moment for the Hall Masters
that the catfish-like Alien Race Prodigy was teleported into the Beast Fighting Arena.
Without the slightest surprise,
this Alien Race Prodigy turned and fled the moment he appeared, harboring not even a shred of intent to fight.
However, his speed was naturally no match for Li Fan's.
Escape was impossible.
In the blink of an eye,
this Saint-rank Prodigy was blasted into a mist of blood by a single punch from Li Fan.
The intense visual impact undoubtedly plunged the remaining Alien Race Prodigies into despair once more.
Sharing this despair were the Alien Race Hall Masters in the spectator stands and the Alien Race populace deep within the sea.
If this state continued,
their race was surely doomed!!
And right at this moment,
within the Alien Race camp,
a voice slowly rang out.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
"I know everyone fears death. I, Qing Chen, fear it too!"
"However, if we are defeated by humanity, we will die all the same. Not only us, but all our loved ones and close friends will also die because of our failure!"
"Remember the pride our loved ones and friends felt when they learned we would represent our race in battle!"
"Rather than losing all fighting will like Catfish Spirit just did, being slaughtered like lowly fish, we can choose to die standing!"
"Li Fan's strength is indeed formidable, so much so that even Zi Mu was helpless. But we are not completely without a chance!"
"Everyone has periods of lapses. It's impossible to maintain peak focus at all times. As long as we keep wearing him down, a moment of vulnerability will inevitably appear. That will be our only opportunity!"
"Therefore, I propose that every one of us who steps forward next fight with all our might. Let us use our lives to forge sharp arrows to pierce through Li Fan, to protect our loved ones and friends, to defend the honor of our Sea Race!"
The speaker was a Quasi-God Rank Prodigy at the very front of the line.
This prodigy was covered in azure dragon scales, with prominent horns and an imposing, majestic bearing, appearing exceptionally steady and domineering.
He was also the oldest, most senior, highest-ranking, and arguably the most talented among all the present Alien Race Prodigies — Qing Chen!
He had already realized the critical danger of the current situation and chose to step forward now to steady the troops' morale.
And as the leading figure of the group,
Qing Chen's words had an immediate effect, gradually pulling the Alien Race Prodigies out of their fear and making them face the current situation squarely.
"Lord Qing Chen is right. Death awaits us either way. Better to fight bravely than die in disgrace!"
"Exactly! I promised my mother I would shine brilliantly in this Civilization Assessment! She's watching right now. I cannot be a deserter!"
"My final dance before death should be on the charge forward!"
"Let's do it! Just as Lord Qing Chen said, if we unite and wear him down together, I refuse to believe Li Fan can withstand it! As long as we create an opening for Lord Qing Chen and the others, we can win!"
"Fight for the Sea Race!"
...
For a moment,
shouts began to rise from within the Alien Race Prodigies' camp.
The fighting spirit of the Alien Race Prodigies visibly and rapidly began to recover.
This sight truly thrilled the Alien Race Hall Masters watching from the spectator stands behind them.
In this critical moment, someone had finally stepped up!
Regardless of the final outcome,
at least now there was hope of victory!
Meanwhile, on the side of the Great Xia camp,
observing the changes within the Alien Race camp,
the people of Great Xia also wore slightly grave expressions.
Li Fan's great victory was indeed exhilarating.
But just as Qing Chen had said,
everyone has limits. Combat focus cannot be maintained perfectly indefinitely. The Alien Race side still had several Quasi-God Rank Prodigies yet to take the stage.
If any one of them found an opening and dealt Li Fan a heavy blow, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Compared to the Alien Race camp's exhilaration and the Great Xia side's concern,
Li Fan himself showed little emotional change at the moment.
With his current strength, losing was impossible for him.
His physical prowess alone was enough to sweep through them all, let alone his trump card, the Annihilation Eye.
Ever since he stepped onto the stage,
he had already placed himself in an invincible position!
...
Elsewhere,
in the space above Blue Star at this time,
an immense, pitch-black, shuttle-shaped starship was speeding towards Blue Star.
Inside the starship,
a young man with a blue shackle-like collar around his neck was curiously observing Blue Star.
Gazing at the eerie blue glow emanating from the planet, the young man's eyes grew profound, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"The Barbaric Star System is considered vast. Who would have thought the first to give birth to a primary civilization would be such a barren, tiny planet? One has to admit, this is something of a miracle."
"But what a pity. It will be gone as soon as it's born. Don't blame me... I'm just a poor soul myself..."
"Wait, why am I rambling? Once this job is done, I'll be free!"
Immediately after,
the young man steered the starship into a rapid descent towards Blue Star's atmosphere.
But the moment the starship made contact with the atmosphere,
it instantly went out of control.
"Not good!"
"How can this be?!"
The young man's face changed dramatically.
The sudden change threw him into a panic.
Before he could react, the next second, he was knocked unconscious by loose equipment inside the careening starship.
And the starship plummeted at extreme speed towards the territory of Great Xia.
Its crash site was a desolate mountain area near Beizhou City.
Coincidentally, this location bordered one of Zhu Tianzheng's experimental fields.
At that moment, Zhu Tianzheng, whose attention had been fully on the Beast Fighting Arena, was abruptly drawn to the golden figure hurtling down at high speed.
"What is that?!"
