High-Level Martial Era

His short blade, it was as if he had struck a thick and immeasurably heavy steel plate.

"Origin Power Battle Suit!" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior had come to understand, heart filled with shock and rage, "How can he, a First Rank warrior, use an Origin Power Battle Suit?"

He realized in an instant, it was a trap!

But it was too late.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" Li Yuan took two lightning-fast blows head-on.

The terrifying impact carried by the short blade, though weakened by the Origin Power Battle Suit, still caused Li Yuan's blood to roil within his body.

However, it was within his capacity to endure.

And of course, there was a reason he took such a risk.

"Puchi!" Li Yuan's short blade had a faint yellow glow on its surface, hardly noticeable.

Origin Power Enhancement!

"Puchi~" The speed of the short blade suddenly soared, ruthlessly striking the arm of the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior. The blade, with the power of Origin Energy, was incredibly sharp, directly severing the warrior's tough arm.

The blade light flashed!

Puchi~

The arm, which even ordinary bullets could hardly damage, was instantly severed and fell.

Blood splattered.

This seemingly unassuming short blade was actually a Second Rank Origin Power Weapon; once augmented with Origin Power, its potency was far beyond that of common firearms!

"Ao~"

Heart-stabbing pain surged into the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior's heart, and he was both alarmed and enraged.

Roaring with a slew of words Li Yuan couldn't understand.

He didn't comprehend foreign languages.

"It seems that I'll have to learn these Star Realm languages later on," the thought suddenly flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

Human civilization has surely studied these languages from the Foreign Civilization.

"Aaaa~" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior, enduring the intense pain in his arm, swung his remaining three arms, fighting desperately to take Li Yuan down.

"I can block all four arms; what's three?" Li Yuan's eyes were cold.

Boom!

Li Yuan did not use any more Origin Power, instead, his Star Meridians operated within his body. His cultivation of Origin Power was already scarce to begin with.

After all, Li Yuan was not yet a true 'Prime Warrior.'

Moreover, with many battle drones under surveillance, Li Yuan was not willing to expose this secret.

Severing one of the warrior's arms was enough.

"Clang!" "Bang!" The two were still locked in fierce combat, but the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior was doomed to fail.

It took less than ten seconds.

"Pur~" Li Yuan seized another weakness, another slash crossed the warrior's arm.

But without the Origin Power Enhancement, this cut only opened a huge gash, blood pouring profusely.

"Aooo~~" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared.

He finally recognized the reality that he could not kill Li Yuan; continuing the fight would only result in his being thoroughly slain by Li Yuan.

Suddenly,

"Boom!" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior abruptly retreated, trying to break through toward the dense crowd in the distance.

"Dadada~"

Already positioned high in the sky, nearly ten combat drones, forming a 'crossfire net,' erupted instantly, raining down metal bullets.

An all-encompassing strike, leaving no room to dodge.

"Boom~" One of the 'heavy combat drones,' decidedly fired an 'armor-piercing round.'

"Pur~" "Pur~" "Pur~" Countless bullets showered onto the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior's body.

"Bang~"

With a violent explosion, the already injured senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior fell to the ground.

He died with his eyes wide open!

As a warrior near level 19, his mission had been to kill at least five hundred ordinary humans... yet he ended with zero kills.

"Huff!"

Li Yuan stood still, not pursuing; first, such a direct chase was unlikely to be successful.

Secondly, he had already noticed the many combat drones, knowing the warrior had no escape.

"Not a Second Rank Prime Warrior."

"If it were urban warfare it would be better," Li Yuan inwardly sighed, "Otherwise, in the open, even high-ranking warriors at level 18 or 19 would succumb to the onslaught of numerous firearms."

In the end, carbon-based organisms have their limits.

Even if they absorb Origin Power, driving Life Evolution, toughening bones and skin... but before becoming Prime Warriors, there were still bounds.

"If I were to face this situation and fully activate the Origin Power Battle Suit, relying on my movement technique, I should be able to withstand the impact and rush into the distant building," Li Yuan mused silently.

With an Origin Power Battle Suit, the chances of survival were at least ten times higher.

...

Whoosh!

A combat drone flew down, its gun barrel pointing backwards.

"Respected Martial Artist Li Yuan, thank you for your contribution to Jiang City. Your merits have been recorded. Once the crisis in Jiang City is completely resolved, we will tally your contributions," an electronic voice transmitted from the drone.

These drones could sense everyone's smart wristbands and quickly match identities.

"Good," Li Yuan nodded.

This was standard procedure.

"Martial Artist Li Yuan, you may go home to check on your situation, or you can join the 'Patrol Team' nearby to participate in the city's rescue," the drone's electronic voice said, "The people of Jiang City thank you for your dedication."

Having said that,

Whoosh! While three combat drones remained above the pit to maintain vigilance, the other drones quickly ascended and sped off toward other streets... Battles were erupting all over Jiang City.

Hisss~hisss~hisss~ Several small spider robots, meanwhile, scurried and jumped into the pit, beginning data searches, inquiry... It was crucial to ascertain the movements of the Fish Spirit Clan.

...

Whoosh! Li Yuan returned to the school entrance, where the Martial Artist teachers had also arrived.

Their gazes towards Li Yuan had changed.

As Martial Artists, they saw it clearly: one-on-one, Li Yuan had even forced a high-ranking Fish Spirit Clan warrior to flee for his life, eventually shot down by a drone.

"Impressive!"

"A true Martial Artist."

"Well done." The many students and family members who had taken shelter in the school began to clap and cheer, even though many were still anxious, but more were unable to suppress their applause and cheers.

"Brother!"

"Big Brother." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua squeezed out from the crowd.

"Brother, just now..." Li Qianqian said, laughing, but her eyes were still brimming with tears.

Indeed, she had been worried sick.

"It's all right now, who am I, your brother," Li Yuan said, smiling as he wiped away the tears at his sister's eyes, "Okay, let's go home first."

"Go home?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua both looked puzzled.

Boom!

A small flying vehicle, the size of a car, descended rapidly from the sky not far away.

"Teachers, I'm taking them first, everyone please stay safe," Li Yuan nodded toward the school teachers.

Whoosh!

Carrying Li Qianqian and Li Muhua, Li Yuan leaped seven or eight meters high, deftly landing on the flying vehicle.

Immediately, the flying vehicle took off, quickly flying towards the Starfire South Lake community.

"It's one of our Starfire Martial Hall's flying vehicles."

"An autonomous flyer, his status in the Martial Hall must be very high," a parent recognized, as many of the students' families here had connections with Starfire Martial Hall.

"Who is he?" Many students and parents were curious.

"It's Li Yuan!"

"Li Qianqian mentioned, her brother is Li Yuan, the one who was on the show this year, the one who was previously awarded the 'Youth Hero' title," a student shouted.

"I remember seeing his show earlier this year; they said he's a Martial Path genius from our Jiang City, with a poor family background but has signed with our Starfire Martial Hall,"

"Right, he's that Martial Path genius."

"He's Li Yuan?"

"It's been less than a year, hasn't it? And he's already this formidable?" Many students, parents, and even teachers whispered among themselves, visibly excited.

"Martial Artist!"

"That's what it means to be a Martial Artist."

"One day, I want to be like Li Yuan," many students who had witnessed today's events planted a seed in their minds without realizing it.

The privileges and status of a Martial Artist.

They were earned through such struggles, time and again.

In the event of a war, one is destined to rush to the front line.

... Over sixty meters in the sky, Li Yuan kept observing the streets below.

From time to time, he could see drones flying fast.

Occasionally, there would be human corpses on the ground... along with a large number of Fish Spirit Clan warrior corpses.

Clearly, the fight was ongoing, and the scale of this attack was unprecedented.

Watching all this,

Especially the many human bodies, Li Yuan felt quite heavy-hearted: "I need to get Qianqian and Muhua home quickly; Starfire South Lake community is the safest place."

"After getting the weapons, I'll immediately join the Patrol Team to see where I can be of help."
