Chapter 83 Eastern Coastal Alert!
soon.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
The piercing air raid siren blared over the First Military High School.
This is not a drill.
This is the highest-level strategic red alert issued by the Chinese military!
The ordinary armed helicopters that had been circling over the playground instantly regrouped and retreated as if facing a formidable enemy.
Followed by.
On the distant horizon, eight supersonic psionic fighter jets, representing the pinnacle of human aviation technology, flew in a V-formation.
The sonic boom tore a massive gash ten thousand feet long through the sky and sea of clouds.
And in the center of those eight fighter jets.
A massive, fortress-like heavy mech transport plane slowly descended directly above the playground.
"Boom!"
The cargo hold doors of the transport plane slid open to both sides with a loud crash.
Two heavy Punisher mechs, each fifty meters tall and covered in red defensive array patterns, leaped down from a thousand meters in the air, their legs spewing out azure overload flames.
"Bang!"
Two steel behemoths crashed onto the edge of the playground, causing the earth to tremble and countless bluestone slabs to instantly turn to dust.
And in the center where the two mechs were suspended by alloy steel cables.
A massive square monument, ten meters tall and bearing the ancient bronze hue, with faint traces of ancient battles between gods and demons, was steadily airdropped into the very center of the playground.
The ultimate testing device... [Nine-Tier National Stele]!
The instant it landed.
A terrifying pressure, spanning countless ages, suddenly erupted.
The pressure was so great that the protective true energy within the bodies of the first and second-tier grandmasters present shrank back into their dantian, making it extremely difficult for them to even lift a finger.
"This...this is the legendary national treasure?"
All eyes are on us.
The entire audience held their breath.
At that moment, the same thought flashed through the minds of all the heads of powerful families and high-ranking military officials.
The military is no longer just testing Lin Yuan.
They viewed Lin Yuan as a strategic figure capable of completely influencing the fate of China!
"Liu Hao, go up and get tested first."
Old Sun turned his head, glanced at Liu Hao who was wrapped in a large black trench coat, and gave a brief instruction.
Old Master Sun is always meticulous in his work. This ultimate testing device has been sealed away for three years. Before letting Lin Yuan try it out, he needs to find a suitable reference to confirm whether the ancient formation is operating normally.
And the one he chose was Liu Hao.
"Me...me?"
Liu Hao's two heads, hidden in the hood, tucked in simultaneously, but feeling Lin Yuan's encouraging gaze, he gritted his teeth and strode out.
"Whoosh—"
Liu Hao ripped off his black trench coat.
He revealed his two-headed, four-armed great witch battle body, which he had forcibly reshaped after consuming the "Fire Date Immortal Fruit" in the back mountain of Jade Spring Mountain!
The muscles in his four arms were like cast iron, and his two heads had ferocious faces.
"What...what exactly did Liu Hao go through inside?!"
Another gasp went up from the audience.
Ignoring the gossip, Liu Hao walked to the ten-meter-tall bronze stele, clenched all four fists, and took a deep breath.
Within his body, the basic breathing techniques he had learned from Master Yu Ding, mixed with the blood and qi of his flesh, erupted with a thunderous roar.
"Bang!"
He punched the monument that protects the nation.
"Buzz—"
The bronze stele trembled violently, and the ancient divine patterns on its surface, which had been sealed for three years, lit up one by one.
A bright purple beam of lightning surged forward, following the markings on the stone tablet.
Martial artist, martial arts master, grandmaster...
Unstoppable momentum!
Finally, under everyone's numb gaze, it came to a sudden stop in a position that made people gasp.
[Sixth-Order Grandmaster, Great Perfection!]
The entire audience was shocked once again.
But amidst this shock, the previous fervor had diminished, replaced by a sense of complexity.
Because Lin Yuan, that true god who just destroyed the instrument, was standing in front of them.
Liu Hao's achievement of becoming a "Sixth-Order Grandmaster," which would have caused a national sensation in previous years, has surprisingly garnered far less attention on the playground at this moment.
"Test complete. The internal core spirit stone circulation is stable, and the array's scale is accurate."
Looking at the purple light on the stone tablet, Old Sun nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, okay."
"The seedlings emerging from this [Investiture of the Gods] mythological secret realm... our China has truly reaped a bountiful harvest; the nation's destiny is not yet over."
Liu Hao withdrew his magic, secretly glanced at Lin Yuan, and then jogged to Lin Yuan's side respectfully.
With such a meek and submissive demeanor, where was the arrogance of a sixth-level Grandmaster?
He was a loyal and devoted guard.
"Young Master Chu, didn't you just say the equipment was broken?"
At the outermost edge of the crowd, the anonymous F-level low-level explorer who had previously clashed with Chu Tianhe finally seized his opportunity.
He poked his head out and kept sneering in a sarcastic tone.
"Now, Elder Sun has personally brought out this 'National Guardian Stele'."
"Brother Liu Hao went up there and casually punched a sixth-level Grandmaster. The machine is perfectly normal!"
"Young Master Chu, if you really feel wronged, why don't you go up there now and show us all the secrets of your Great Shang Dynasty's 'Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Bird Technique'?"
"You...you..."
Chu Tianhe, kneeling on the ground, turned from white to green with anger, and trembled all over.
But he did not refute it.
Because deep down, he still clings to that last pitiful shred of self-deception.
"An illusion...it must be an illusion!"
"Liu Hao's physical transformation is undeniable. But Lin Yuan... Lin Yuan is just a crow."
"In the face of advanced instruments, and in the face of Elder Sun, this national treasure, any deception or illusion will be torn apart like a demon-revealing mirror."
"Lin Yuan, go ahead and go up there! I want to see how you die when you reveal your true form!"
Chu Tianhe waited in the darkness for the final twist.
At this time.
Lin Yuan, standing atop the high platform, faced tens of thousands of gazes from the audience, some fervent, others skeptical.
He remained calm and composed.
He ignored everyone's opinions.
I walked slowly and steadily across the ruins covered with rubble until I reached the towering, nine-tiered national monument, ten meters tall.
Raise your right hand.
"Buzz—"
Within his body, the [Shangqing Ninefold Seal] personally laid down by the Tongtian Sect Master loosened slightly under Lin Yuan's mental control.
Only a tiny crack in that single seal.
But that's enough.
"Bang."
His fair and slender right hand gently pressed on the bronze surface of the Ninth-Rank National Stele.
Fortunately, the anticipated violent explosion did not occur.
Old Sun breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully exhale, he was completely stunned by what he saw next.
All that could be seen was the national guardian stele that had been sealed away for three years.
The instant it touched Lin Yuan's palm.
The bronze rust on it was cleansed inch by inch by a vast layer of dark golden light.
It was a dark golden divine light that swept forward with an unstoppable, overwhelming force!
Every leap is a crushing of the existing common sense of martial arts on Earth.
First order...
Third order...
Fifth tier...
The light glided rapidly along the markings on the stone tablet.
The barrier of a seventh-tier Grandmaster?
break!
The light didn't even tremble slightly; it sliced through the butter with a hot knife, easily crushing Liu Ming and Liu Hao's limits.
An eighth-tier Grandmaster?!
Over!
Under the astonished gazes of several patriarchs from prominent families, the dark golden divine light showed no sign of stopping and continued to spread upwards.
finally.
At the very top of that holographic screen, on the last scale that represents the limit of the space's capacity.
"when--"
A clear, resonant sound echoed within the stone tablet, remaining perfectly still.
The blood-red characters, like a decree from heaven, hovered above everyone's heads:
[Ninth-tier Grandmaster...Great Perfection!]
boom!
After three seconds of deathly silence, an earth-shattering shock completely overturned the First Military High School!
"Ninth Rank...Great Perfection?!"
"This is Heavenly King level... no, this is a reserve of the Guardian God, an unparalleled supreme being with one foot on the threshold of godhood."
"He's only eighteen years old."
"Unprecedented and unparalleled, this is truly... the chosen one of the nation's destiny!"
thump.
The instant I saw the [Ninth Rank] scale freeze.
Chu Tianhe, kneeling below the stage, felt as if all the bones in his body had been removed, collapsing into the mud and water.
The last vestige of self-deception in my mind shattered into dust before this divine red light.
In the future, I will be based in this Jiangnan base city, and throughout the entire Blue Star.
They no longer even have the right to look up at Lin Yuan's back.
"Wow--"
On the viewing platform.
Chu Qingtian, the head of the Chu family who had just woken up, only glanced at the dazzling ninth-order red light.
Before I could even catch my breath, I felt a sweet taste in my throat.
He coughed up another mouthful of blood, and in his extreme anger, his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot, completely losing consciousness.
Chen Fang, chief reporter of China Star Network, was standing next to the bench.
His legs were already weak, and he knelt on the edge of the flower bed, completely losing his composure, with cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Ninth Rank...Great Perfection..."
Chen Fang swallowed hard, his teeth chattering.
He was extremely fortunate.
I'm glad that although I was arrogant and manipulative, I didn't say anything irreparably offensive.
"Such a being, with just a single thought, could wipe out not only me, but the entire Chinese media industry overnight..."
And on the StarNet, which broadcasts the entire network live.
The barrage of comments that was scrolling wildly was gone.
The moment the eight characters "[Ninth-Order Grandmaster Great Perfection]" appeared.
It's lagging!
The entire StarNet's server mainframe couldn't handle the terrifying instantaneous traffic from hundreds of billions of netizens simultaneously and issued an alarm.
Then.
"Whoosh—"
The entire bullet screen interface completely crashed and went blank!
at this time.
In the most secluded shadows of the reviewing stand, several military clerks who had been secretly observing couldn't sit still any longer the moment they confirmed the data.
"Quickly, connect to the military headquarters via the top-secret channel."
"Code name 'Lone Wolf' reports: The First Military High School has discovered a special-grade causal anomaly. Lin Yuan's test results show that he is a ninth-level Grandmaster at the Great Perfection stage."
"To repeat, it's the ninth-tier Great Perfection, touching the limit of the spatial barrier!!"
Military headquarters, inside the highest-level tactical encirclement.
"What?!"
An old general, who had been awarded several general stars and commanded the military power of the entire Eastern Theater Command of China, suddenly stood up from his high position.
"An eighteen-year-old ninth-level grandmaster... This is not just a genius, this is a guardian deity bestowed upon China by the heavens."
Without the slightest hesitation, the old general slammed his hand on the red button on the tactical console, personally issuing the highest-level death order of the war zone.
"Transmit my highest command!"
"Special approval granted to the Jiangnan War Zone for the highest priority privileges."
"At all costs, we will use the highest-level 'national gift' to win over Lin Yuan."
"Tell him that as long as he's willing to stay in the Chinese military, the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Military Region will be vacant. This old man will personally protect him!"
"Here you go!!"
The entire theater headquarters was operating at full speed.
however.
On the large playground of the First Military High School, tens of thousands of people were still immersed in the shock of the unprecedented and unparalleled "eighteen-year-old ninth-level grandmaster".
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
The air raid sirens were even more devastating than before.
It carries the red glow of the military's highest-level strategic preparedness.
A deafening roar echoed across the entire sky above the Jiangnan Base City.
"What's going on?!" Old Sun's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up.
Not just the Jiangnan base city.
The entire eastern coastal area of China.
Along that long defensive line stretching tens of thousands of miles, all the alarms were completely rendered useless in that instant.
