While the crowd was madly cheering over Xiang Ning killing a tier five Beast General in seconds, they didn’t know how to react when he coughed up blood.
“Yeah, he’s just a child! How’s it possible for him to kill a tier five Beast General? How old is he? How could he actually be so strong?”
“Based on my experience, it’s very likely he used some breathing technique or other method to activate the potential in his body, thus elevating his strength by force.”
“Isn’t that very damaging to the body?!”
The phenomenon wasn’t unheard of in the martial world, and there were many breathing techniques that were used that had a high cost to the body. That was why Xiang Ning’s abilities weren’t unrealistic.
“Under such dire circumstances, if he didn’t go all out, he would’ve been dead!”
“Someone save him! I’m begging you, someone go save him!” Some of the more emotional audience members felt their hearts ache for him after they witnessed the aftermath.
“Grandpa, is brother Xiang Ning going to be fine?” Within Marsh City’s orphanage, Grandpa Director was watching the livestream along with his children and teachers.
He pointed at the figure on the screen and said, “Children, never forget your brother Xiang Ning. He’s a hero that’s fighting to protect you all!”
“Mm! Brother Xiang Ning! Get ‘em!”
Qiling Academy, Hanwu Academy, Yaoguang Academy, Third School, and the rest of the top ten academies in Marsh City were all playing the livestream.
“Pay attention! This is the pride of our city! I don’t wish for you to be him, but I do hope you won’t embarrass him!”
“He’s the pride of our city! But he’s also a child from our city, so what’re we paying those Federation soldiers for?!”
“Isn’t once or twice enough? Why’d they let Xiang Ning fight in just a dangerous battle?”
“My goodness! Teacher Xiang Ning is number one in my heart!”
“What? You don’t know who he is? Come back and be friends with me when you do!”
On the battlefield, Fang Rou stopped her team, but tears had already blurred her vision.
“Fang Rou, why….” Li Zimo looked at her, puzzled.
“The places we should go are there, there, and there.” Liu Ruoxue and Lu Shiyu stepped out from behind him, pointing at the martial artists who were trapped as Xiang Ning himself ran toward the closest group.
“What’s he doing?”
“Why not take this chance to leave?”
“Where’s he going?”
When the audience saw Xiang Ning damaging his body to kill the Pale Moon, they thought he would save his friend and leave, but he left his mate alone and didn’t look like he would return. Instead, he charged into the army of beasts.
They didn’t understand.
The number of Xiang Ning’s Fury Points continuously increased, as did his Experience Points, but the only thing on his mind was to bring people back. They all had families waiting for them at home. Just like his sister, who was waiting for his return. He could go home, but what about these people?
Xiang Ning had never thought about taking on any more responsibilities. His only thought was to go home after all this.
When he appeared before these strangers, killing all the beasts in his way, everyone was stunned.
Right, how could they forget Xiang Ning’s values? Was he related to the guys? Probably... not. So why did Xiang Ning rescue them?
Was he dumb? Yes, he was so dumb their hearts ached for him.
“But he’s currently injured!”
“Yeah, he coughed up blood! Why can’t he understand?!”
“What’s he doing? Sacrificing himself to save others? He has such a bright future ahead of him!”
“He shouldn’t die in battle here! He shouldn’t let his potential go to waste like that!”
But Xiang Ning was far away in battle, so how could he hear them? He’d coughed up blood because he had activated the Eight Gates one time too many over a short time span, repeatedly challenging his body’s limits. It was only natural that his body had reacted in some way, and he felt much better after spitting out the blood.
“Child, you shouldn’t have come for me. I don’t have a family and my life was already worth it after killing so many beasts. Why did you come?!” A martial artist whose arm had been torn off by a beast bitterly smiled.
Xiang Ning ignored him. His features contorted with effort and veins popped all over his body, something that had never happened before. That alone was enough to illustrate the sheer volume of beasts in the invasion. He was constantly expending energy to kill every beast that tried pouncing on him, and not a single patch of his body was left unscathed. Even his cultivation had secretly advanced to tier four, four-star, but he didn’t notice.
“Wu Rui!” Xiang Ning looked up and roared with all his might.
Wu Rui, who was drenched in blood, followed Xiang Ning’s blood trail as he sprinted over, yelling, “Fuck! This is intense! Even if I die here it’ll be worth it!”
“What now?”
“Carry this uncle on your back, we’re bringing him home,” said Xiang Ning.
“Alright!”
“Home…?”
On the internet, countless netizens watched as Xiang Ning stood in front, clearing a path while Wu Rui carried a man who had lost an arm through a crowd of beasts, sustaining a few more injuries himself.
“Look, he came out!”
“Finally.”
“Fuck, what’s he doing now? Why’d he run back?”
“Does he really want to die? What is he thinking? What does he gain from this?”
Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
After Xiang Ning had returned, he rushed back. Even Wu Rui was stunned and grabbed his arm, shouting, “Are you fucking crazy?”
“Not enough!” Xiang Ning shrugged his arm off.
Yes, not enough. He possessed the Refresh special technique, so he was capable of more. Why wouldn’t he carry on? If he didn’t have that special technique, he would have respected his limits. If he was dead, that would be the end of it all. He had a little sister, a group of children, and an old man waiting for his return!
Xiang Ning’s family, friends, and loved ones were ranked at the very top of his heart. He understood the path he was on, and it was impossible for him to stay in Marsh City in the future. So what would happen to the people he left behind? That was why he had to continuously accumulate accolades and produce more results; it would make it so that his reputation was enough for the people he loved to receive respect. He was doing everything he could so that the children could have ordinary lives, and when someone else pointed at one of the children, they would say, “Look, that’s Xiang Ning’s friend, he must be very good too.…”
“Not enough?!” Wu Rui demanded, but Xiang Ning had already charged back into the army of beasts.
“You’re mad!” Wu Rui gritted his teeth and charged too.
Xiang Ning’s body was screaming, but his heart was filled with joy. With his current state, he was capable of so much... so why not go crazy with it?
