"The secret to that blue mecha's ability to fight for so long isn't because he used some sort of treasure. Nor is he really that strong.
It's because he drank an entire bottle of the Dream Elixir when he was physically exhausted.
"Some might ask what the Dream Elixir is.
Let me tell you.
The Dream Elixir is a top-notch genetic medicine produced by the Western Alliance. Ordinary adepts who consume it will see their powers skyrocket.
Of course, they must be able to withstand the potency of the elixir.
There's also a taboo. Ninth rank Adepts must never consume it. The power it emits is enough to make a ninth rank Adept self-destruct. There are no exceptions.
"The pilot of the blue mecha is a ninth-rank paranormal. However, in that situation, he drank a bottle of Dream Potion in order to save as many lives as he could, even though he knew it was impossible to do so.
He was burning his own life to save others.
In order to save those fresh lives, he ignited his own flame of life until the very last moment when it was about to be extinguished.
If His Holiness the Spacetime Scepter hadn't arrived in time, this hero who burned himself to save a life would never have appeared before us.
And now! "
He paused and turned to Lan Jue. He grabbed Lan Jue's left hand and lifted it high into the air.
"Ah Jue, let everyone see Thor!"
Tears glistened in Hua Li's eyes. He looked at Lan Jue with a burning gaze, and his voice was infectious. Everyone who watched the scene was affected by his words.
Lan Jue looked him in the eye. He knew why Huali was doing this.
It wasn't just to promote him as a hero.
Chu Cheng was using Chu Cheng's method to warn Lan Jue of the dangers that lurked within. Hua Li, too, was silent. He was using his own method to help Lan Jue survive.
Lan Jue could almost guess that this wasn't what was supposed to happen during the closing ceremony rehearsal.
However, Huali had willfully allowed it to appear. There was only one purpose, and that was to protect herself.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Jue did not say anything. On her left pinky, Thor's Promise shone brightly.
A ray of light instantly enlarged in front of him and Huali, and a huge dark blue figure appeared in everyone's vision.
Thor, yes, Thor!
It was a huge mech.
Under the illumination of the light falling from the sky, it flickered with a faint blue light. That huge metallic body was very eye-catching.
A massive projection appeared behind him. It was a projection of Thor's battle on Taihua.
Thor, Zeus, Lightning Arcana!
All of these were interwoven together, and the audience completely understood.
The man who had saved so many lives on Taihua was none other than Zeus.
It was a blue mech.
It was Zeus's Thor.
Although the Thor in the real world was different from the Thor in DreamNet, in this moment.
In the eyes of the audience, in the hearts of the audience, everything had become one.
In their minds, there was only one word.
Hero!
Hero!
Hero. The hero was right in front of them.
The audience was stunned. Many of them remembered how, not long ago, they had viewed Lan Jue as an enemy of the Eastern Alliance.
Because he had defeated a woman in combat, they had looked down on him.
They didn't understand why such a powerful Pharmacist would be with him.
At this moment, they finally understood why all of this was happening.
It wasn't just the audience that was shocked.
Even the Adepts who had come to watch the fight were stunned.
They were Adepts, and they knew better.
They knew what would happen to a ninth level Adept after taking the Genetica Decoction.
But this person, the person in front of him, had done it.
The champion. The champion belongs to the hero!
That was the thought that ran through everyone's minds.
It wasn't just the outsiders who didn't know, not even the people of Skyfire Avenue knew what was going on.
The Gourmet took the lead, and the Skyfire Avenue Adepts rose to their feet. They all looked at Lan Jue. Jun'Er lifted her head proudly, repeating the words over and over again. "That's my daddy. That's my daddy!"
Tears welled up in the Pharmacist's eyes as she listened. She looked at Lan Jue with gratitude.
He had made her daughter's life complete. He had made her proud.
Jun Yongye stood a short distance behind Lan Jue. He looked at Lan Jue, and the light in his eyes changed.
"Shouldn't we give our hero a round of applause?" Huali's impassioned voice boomed through the arena.
The applause was like firecrackers that had been ignited in an instant, and cheers resounded throughout the entire Major League Sports Center.
No, it wasn't just the Major League Arena. Luo City, Luo, and every planet in the universe were all cheering.
Especially the Eastern Alliance.
Under the Eastern Alliance's commentator, the Eastern Alliance rose to their feet. They faced the holographic projection and bowed to the weary figure.
Lan Jue himself hadn't expected to find himself in such a situation. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could feel his body and aura changing in a strange way. He didn't know what it was, but if he'd come from the Pontiff's Citadel, someone would have told him it was the power of faith.
Lan Jue was surprised to find that his Discipline was growing stronger and stronger. It was growing faster than he'd ever been able to cultivate.
This was the first time he'd encountered such a strange situation. The Arrow of Goodness slumbering in his mind began to glow with a pale white light, illuminating his soul.
Sublimation. Sublimation.
Lan Jue felt as though he were changing under the influence of her influence.
He was still in the process of becoming one with Zhou Qianlin, so he didn't know how much his Discipline had increased.
But over the last few days, everything he'd learned had melded with him, sublimated, sublimated.
He could even feel Qianlin's Discipline changing as he merged with her.
The applause and cheers continued for a good ten minutes before dying down. Huali turned to Lan Jue. "Say something to our audience. Say something to all of humanity."
Lan Jue looked him in the eye. She opened her arms and embraced him.
Hua Li smiled, and hugged him back in return.
Lan Jue took two steps forward. Thor's enormous body bent down, and Lan Jue reached out and scooped him up.
Lan Jue stood up on Thor's arm and walked to Thor.
"Thank you for the applause and cheers.
I didn't expect something like this to happen.
That day, on Taihua, everything happened too suddenly.
As a teacher, I was supposed to go on a vacation with the school.
Danger suddenly came, and we ran back to the camp.
On the way, we ran into a group of soldiers.
"They were sniping at the beasts with all their might, doing everything they could to protect the tourists.
I told them that the beasts were strong, and that only mechas could take them on, so they shouldn't go to their deaths.
But the soldier told me that it was the duty of the soldiers to protect the public. There were still many tourists who hadn't returned, and we had to protect them.
"With that, they left.
At that time, I relied on my pretty good memory to remember his badge number.
After Taihua, I looked into his situation. He sacrificed his life.
Among us humans, there are countless heroes like him. That's why we're able to move forward into the universe.
You call me a hero, and I'm worthy of that title. But there are millions of heroes, and I'm just one of them.
"What happened on Taihua was no accident. The aliens are closing in on us. What we need to do is stick together, and do what we can to protect humanity.
What I'm doing is what I'm supposed to do as a human.
It's my duty as a human being. "
He bowed slightly, and then leaped down from the sky. Behind him, Thor dissolved into a beam of light, and vanished into Thor's Oath.
Lan Jue's words hung in the air for a long time. His voice seemed to ignite a fire in the hearts of all who heard it.
Just then, the light that had been shining down on them suddenly vanished. A giant figure appeared, hovering in the air. It was the Terminator.
The Terminator's body flickered, and he looked at the camera.
"Yes, they're right.
Humanity needs more heroes.
This year's Great Adept Tournament was held to select more heroes for the sake of humanity.
That's why the Major League is willing to offer such generous rewards. "
"Some things have reached a point where we have no choice but to announce them.
Today, I will announce them.
First, let me show you a video. "
There was a flash, and the Terminator was gone. In the air above the Major League Stadium, a large three-dimensional image appeared.
When the image first appeared, it was like a magnified version of the night sky, with stars twinkling in their wake.
There was a flash of light, and a fleet of battleships flew by. The one in the lead was as large as a whale. The other ships looked like toys compared to it.
Military enthusiasts recognized at a glance that this was a Primary-class mothership. Only the best of the best would be equipped with such a thing.
With the Primary-class mothership in the lead, the fleet consisted of four commander-class ships, twelve expeditionary ships, and over a hundred battleships and patrol ships.
The huge fleet slowly flew forward.
