If Lan Jue had been here by the sea, he would have recognized the gem in her hand. He would have known who she was.
The Violet Princess was as beautiful as ever, just as she had been the last time Lan Jue had seen her. Breathtakingly beautiful, flawless.
But because she was so perfect, there was a sense of unreality about her. She lacked the spirit of a true human. Compared to the last time Lan Jue had seen her, she was more like a human.
She was holding a Tear of the Sea God between her fingers.
An s-ranked power gem that could only be found on Lyr.
The Violet Princess emerged from the sea and held the Tear in front of her eyes. She cocked her head to the side, puzzled.
A glint flashed through her eyes, and her slender fingers reached out, sending the Tear of the Sea God into her mouth.
In the next moment, her body swayed, and she turned into a streak of purple light that disappeared without a trace.
…
Hailing College. Lan Jue was here for the first time.
He was greeted by Han Ruchao, Su He, and the rest of the College's executives.
Lir Academy had managed to survive the onslaught of their enemies, but it was only a matter of time before they were saved.
At this moment, President Han's eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly agitated.
Not only because they had been rescued, but also because of the large number of students and teachers who had died in the battle.
They had fought with all their might, but the alien attack had left many wounded.
Fortunately, only a small number had died.
After this battle, Hailing College would ascend to a new level.
At this moment, the order in the academy was very good. The injured and the dying were being treated, while the teachers and students who were not injured were maintaining order.
When the purplish-red color faded, the citizens could return to their homes.
"Thank you, thank you for your timely arrival.
On behalf of Hailing College and the people of Lyr, I thank you. "
Han Ruchao squeezed Lan Jue's hand tightly. He didn't know this was the man in front of him who'd led Lir University's team to the National Eastern University, only to be defeated in the competition.
Lan Jue said solemnly, "We should be thanking everyone.
You're a true hero, President Han. You led the students and faculty of Hailing College to fend off the marauders and protect tens of thousands of lives. Thank you. "
Regardless of the enmity between Han Ruchao and Xu Renjian, at this moment, in Lan Jue's heart, he was an absolutely respectable elder.
When he heard from Su He that Han Ruchao had personally said that he would live and die with the academy and be the last person to leave, he was moved.
If only the entire human race could have such spirit and cohesiveness.
So, no matter how strong the enemy was, what was there to be afraid of?
Only a person with such a fearless spirit could be considered a true noble!
As they chatted, Star Division's soldiers emerged from their mechas.
These infected aliens were no longer a threat to them.
They weren't too happy about their recent victory.
Xiao Han's body was much better now. He walked through the crowd of Star Division soldiers, looking for the fat mecha that had saved his life.
He had to thank him personally for saving his life.
The fat mecha was easy to find. It was much larger than the other mechas and could be seen from far away.
Xiao Han hurried over just in time to see the mecha that had spoken to him open its chest. A beautiful woman stepped out.
His eyes lit up. She was beautiful!
She had long blonde hair, an extremely slender figure, and a pair of long legs that were perfectly straight, slender, and perfectly round.
Her hips swelled, and her waist retracted. Her stunning curves were enough to ignite any man's heart.
She floated to the ground and combed her long hair, tying it into a neat ponytail.
Just then, the sky darkened. Xiao Han lifted his head to see an enormous mecha descend from the heavens. It was shaped like a beast, like a lion. The students of Hailing College couldn't help but be envious of it.
One look and you could tell it was a top-class mecha.
There was a flash of light, and a tall, short-haired young man appeared on the ground. He greeted the long-legged beauty with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Mi." He greeted her.
"Can't you change your fighting style?
You're always so aggressive.
What if you get surrounded? "Tang Mi rolled her eyes at Jin Tao.
Jin Tao chuckled. "I wouldn't be me if I wasn't aggressive.
I can't learn your brother's slippery ways! "
"Who are you calling slippery, Er Gou?
You want to pursue my sister like that? I'll kill you! "Tang Xiao's large body leaped out of the mecha. He glared daggers at Jin Tao.
Jin Tao's response was dismissive. "That's enough.
Do you think you can make decisions about Xiao Mi?
You might be stronger than me now, but it won't be long before I can beat you up. "
Tang Xiao's response was dismissive. "Come on!
I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. "
Tang Xiao and Jin Tao's team had been the fastest-growing in Star Division.
Their combat prowess had skyrocketed.
Tang Xiao had his epiphany when the Taming Dragon Arhat broke through to Paragon. Jin Tao had his epiphany when Lan Qing broke through to Paragon.
Both of them had gained a lot, so much so that their cultivations had been improving at an extremely fast pace recently.
Tang Xiao was already a ninth level Adept, and Jin Tao was only a step away.
His fighting style was fierce, and he always inspired the highest morale on the battlefield.
When Star Division and the Bloodiron Khans were in the middle of their drills, they were the biggest headache for the Bloodiron Khans.
One didn't think about the consequences, the other was as cunning as a fox.
Their mouths were always filled with sarcasm and sarcasm.
But when it came to actual combat, their teams were always able to coordinate perfectly.
Once, during a sparring match with the Bloodiron Khans, Tang Xiao came up with a cunning plan. He had Jin Tao lead his team through the Khans' weakest point.
Jin Tao's ferocious fighting style made him famous.
From then on, the Bloodiron Khans and Star Division's drills never picked up.
Xiao Han stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the fatty, the expression on his face kept changing.
Never in a million years would he have guessed the one who'd saved his life would be him.
The one who'd brought him so much humiliation.
However, how did he become so powerful in such a short period of time?
Tang Xiao could feel Xiao Han's gaze on him. He turned his head and grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
Xiao Han took a deep breath, then strode over to Tang Xiao. He nodded reluctantly. "Thank you."
Tang Xiao chuckled. "To be honest, I didn't like you at first.
But today you're acting like a man.
Don't take what happened in the past too seriously. Work hard, and don't let me leave you behind. "
As he spoke, Tang Xiao extended his right hand to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han's eyes flashed, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out to shake the man's hand.
They'd been comrades for a short time, but they'd been friends for a short time. It seemed like the fat man wasn't so annoying after all.
Three days later.
The situation on Lyr had stabilized, and the people who'd been evacuated had returned to their homes.
The military had already sent a large number of soldiers to Lyr to conduct a thorough scan of the planet.
It wasn't too difficult to find the progenitor. It was a living thing, after all. So long as they did their best, they'd be able to find it.
Humanity's radar and sonar systems were extremely advanced.
Lan Qing suggested to the military that they conduct a comprehensive radar scan of the planet.
This was to determine whether or not the progenitor existed.
At the same time, they would set the radar scan to normal, and conduct a search every once in a while.
The military approved his suggestion, and sent a message to the Northern Alliance and the Western Alliance.
Lan Jue stood in front of the window, looking out at the blue sea. She sighed to herself.
The sea was calm again, but Lan Jue knew that Lyr had suffered a great loss.
It wasn't just the city and its people.
The existence of the alien progenitors had destroyed the balance of life on Planet Lir.
It would take at least ten years for the planet to recover.
This was not even enough time for the Void Mother. Any longer and the damage to the planet would be irreversible.
The aliens were a terrifying force to reckon with.
Lan Qing had left the day before. He'd been away from An Lun for a while now, and he had to get back as soon as possible. There were too many things he needed to take care of.
Star Division was here to help the military maintain order. It was also Lan Jue's way of giving everyone a benefit.
Lyr was a beautiful place, and anyone who liked water would love it.
Ever since Star Division had been established, they'd been in a constant state of intense training and combat. It was time for everyone to relax and relax.
Hailing College had invited Star Division to stay in one of the Hailing College's hotels.
Han Ruchao was a shrewd man, and he wasn't about to let this opportunity pass him by.
He invited Star Division's soldiers to instruct their students.
With Lan Jue's approval, Star Division sent ten ninth level Adept squad leaders and five god-ranked pilots to instruct Hailing College's students.
Hailing College's unity was stronger than ever after the battle.
The students and teachers who'd fought bravely were rewarded by the Eastern Alliance.
The military extended an olive branch to them.
It wouldn't be long before they'd all become great soldiers.
Sometimes bad things could turn into good things. At least from what Lan Jue could tell, humanity was united in the face of a foreign enemy.
That was the root of everything.
She turned around and looked at the bed.
Qianlin sat cross-legged on the floor, meditating in silence.
Please.
