When Zhang Guanzhong and Wu Zhipeng were killed, when Xia Xueqin burned her life, overdrawn her life, and used the ultimate forbidden technique of the "True Dragon Treasure Technique," the Heavenly Dragon Sword Formation, fighting until her lamp of life ran out, when the members of the Two-Star Squad charged towards the purple-robed middle-aged man like moths to a flame, Jiang Wuming awoke.
He awoke at the moment when everyone had fallen into despair, and his aura swiftly recovered!
Swish swish swish…
At the entrance of the martial arts arena, Ren Xiaoyao, Qin Linhai, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and others were the first to sense the change in Jiang Wuming's aura. They turned their gazes towards Jiang Wuming in unison and clearly saw the young man open his eyes and get up with a carp flip.
This discovery filled them with excitement!
It wasn't just them who were excited. On the martial arts arena, Xia Xueqin, whose hair had turned white and who lay listlessly on the ground, revealed an excited expression on her face, which had become aged due to the overdrawing of her life!
Ever since Jiang Wuming was injured, she had been worried about his condition.
Now that Jiang Wuming was awake, and his aura was rapidly recovering, she realized that Jiang Wuming was not only out of danger but had also seemingly recovered from his injuries!
On the rooftop of the distant teaching building, Qin Xiaozhi also sensed the change in Jiang Wuming's aura. He immediately aimed his sniper scope at the martial arts arena entrance and saw Jiang Wuming get up.
At that moment, his hand holding the sniper rifle trembled uncontrollably.
This was the first time his hand had trembled that day.
Yes.
Before this, no matter how dire the situation, even when Jiang Wuming was blasted to the ground, Qin Xiaozhi's hand had not trembled.
But now, his hand trembled!
It was due to extreme excitement!
Hanghu, War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Li Lianyi, who was known for her calmness and composure, also clenched her fists tightly in excitement the moment she saw Jiang Wuming get up.
Although she knew that as long as Li Xiaoman followed her instructions to stop Jiang Wuming's bleeding and transfuse blood in time, Jiang Wuming could create another medical miracle through his own secrets, she hadn't expected him to wake up so quickly!
In the War Department Headquarters and the Eastern Region Military Command operations room, Qi Wufu, Qin Yuanzheng, and others also saw Jiang Wuming awaken and get up through the monitoring screens.
At that moment, they were equally excited!
However, amidst their excitement, their worries had not vanished – although Jiang Wuming had woken up, could he kill the injured purple-robed middle-aged man?
On the martial arts arena.
The purple-robed middle-aged man also sensed Jiang Wuming's awakening and the change in his aura.
This discovery made him freeze in place. He looked at the entrance of the martial arts arena with disbelief, staring at the young man getting up, completely stunned!
Because he was very clear about the power of his Qiankun Bag evolved from True Qi.
In his opinion, even if Jiang Wuming hadn't been sucked into the Qiankun Bag, and even if he was five meters away from the Qiankun Bag when it detonated, Jiang Wuming would have definitely suffered unimaginable heavy injuries!
Jiang Wuming's performance after being blasted to the ground earlier confirmed his judgment.
At that time, Jiang Wuming was covered in blood, his aura weak, like a candle flame in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
At that moment, the purple-robed middle-aged man firmly believed that even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal descended, he couldn't save Jiang Wuming, and Jiang Wuming, who was barely clinging to life, would soon die.
However, at this moment, not only was Jiang Wuming not dead, but he had also recovered from his injuries!
This brought him an unimaginable shock!
The shock made him forget to attack the five surviving teachers from the East Sea Martial Arts Academy who were charging towards him, and also forget to "finish off" Xia Xueqin, who was lying listlessly on the ground. Instead, he stared at Jiang Wuming with wide eyes, as if asking: How did he do it?
"Two-Star Squad, stop attacking, retreat to the edge of the martial arts arena!"
As if to respond to the purple-robed middle-aged man, the young man, after awakening, spoke for the first time, issuing orders to the Two-Star Squad who were charging at the purple-robed middle-aged man.
Huh?
Led by the elderly man, the five surviving members of the Two-Star Squad had also sensed the change in Jiang Wuming's aura while charging, but because they were facing away from Jiang Wuming, they didn't know that Jiang Wuming had awakened.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Wuming's familiar voice, they were all startled, then instinctively stopped in their tracks and looked back.
The next moment.
They only saw an afterimage.
After issuing the order, Jiang Wuming, who had awakened, did not say anything to Dongfang Xiaoyao, Ren Xiaoyao, and Qin Linhai who were beside him. He took a step forward, re-entered the martial arts arena, and rapidly moved towards Xia Xueqin.
"Yes!"
Seeing the afterimage left by the young man and feeling his aura rapidly recovering, the five surviving members of the Two-Star Squad instinctively responded loudly, then stopped their charge and turned to retreat towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.
Seeing this, the purple-robed middle-aged man did not attack to stop the five surviving members of the Two-Star Squad. Instead, he continued to stare intently at Jiang Wuming.
"Little native, I must say, you've given me too many shocks today, and it also made me even more curious about the secret you possess! I can make a deal with you—exchange the secret you have for all their lives! As long as you are willing to tell me your secret, I will let them live. After I kill you, I will return directly behind the curtain, how about it?"
Immediately, the purple-robed middle-aged man's voice echoed across the martial arts arena.
He was extremely interested in Jiang Wuming's secret, but he was a martial artist and could not obtain the secret by spying on and controlling Jiang Wuming's soul through spiritual power, thus giving rise to the idea of a transaction.
No response.
Jiang Wuming dismissed the purple-robed middle-aged man's words as nonsense, silently moving to Xia Xueqin's side.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Xia, for making you suffer."
Jiang Wuming helped Xia Xueqin up, looking at the instantly aged Xia Xueqin with self-blame and guilt.
Earlier, when the purple-robed middle-aged man detonated the Qiankun Bag evolved from True Qi, Jiang Wuming was five meters away from the Qiankun Bag. Relying on the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram, he resisted most of the energy impact, and also had True Qi protecting his body, so he did not suffer fatal injuries.
After being blasted to the ground and his aura becoming weak, it was because he had been using forbidden techniques for a long time, non-stop. His body was overloaded, and his meridians and internal organs had reached their limit, making it impossible for him to continue fighting. Therefore, he immediately entered the mysterious space.
He wanted to use the time when he couldn't fight to absorb mysterious energy in the mysterious space for healing, recover the consumption of True Qi and secret power, and at the same time attempt to break through to the eleventh stage of Two-Star War God for his martial cultivation!
During this process, he was unable to know what was happening outside, nor did he know about Xia Xueqin's battle with the purple-robed middle-aged man. However, he knew that Xia Xueqin must have used forbidden techniques, consumed her innate True Qi, and overdrawn her life, which caused her to age so rapidly in such a short period.
"Child, the first day you appeared before me, I told myself that protecting you would be the greatest responsibility and meaning of my remaining life. As long as you are fine, even if Aunt Xia dies, she will die with a smile!"
Xia Xueqin said softly, a smile appearing on her aged face.
"Aunt Xia, you won't die, none of us will die."
Hearing this, Jiang Wuming's eyes turned red, his nose felt a sting, and his voice trembled. At the same time, he secretly decided that after this battle, he would try to use the energy or secret power from the mysterious space to restore Xia Xueqin's overdrawn innate True Qi and blood.
If it could be successful, Xia Xueqin's martial cultivation could be restored, and she wouldn't be as aged as she was now!
As his words fell, Jiang Wuming said to the five surviving members of the Two-Star Squad who had retreated, "Please help Dean Xia down."
"Yes!"
The five surviving members of the Two-Star Squad responded almost simultaneously.
Xia Xueqin looked at Jiang Wuming and couldn't help but remind him, "Wuming, be careful, don't impulsively risk your life with him."
Although she could sense that Jiang Wuming's injuries had completely recovered, and his aura was almost at its peak, she was still uneasy about Jiang Wuming fighting the purple-robed middle-aged man alone.
Because, even though the purple-robed middle-aged man was not lightly injured, and had consumed his innate True Qi in the final blow, he was not someone that the Two-Star War God stage eleven Jiang Wuming could kill!
Even Xia Xueqin thought so, let alone the purple-robed middle-aged man himself!
This time, before Jiang Wuming could reply to Xia Xueqin, the purple-robed middle-aged man's voice sounded again.
"Little native, are you agreeing to a transaction with me?"
Standing by the giant pit of the martial arts arena, the purple-robed middle-aged man heard Jiang Wuming's words to Xia Xueqin earlier. He thought Jiang Wuming had agreed to the transaction and started laughing.
"You foreign scum, I will use your blood to mourn the heroes who died today!"
Jiang Wuming cast a cold glance at the purple-robed middle-aged man and said each word distinctly.
"Heh... you ignorant fool. After all this, you don't intend to trade with me! Do you think you can fight me just because you've recovered from your injuries? Let me tell you, even if I'm injured, I can still kill you with one hand..."
Hearing this, the purple-robed middle-aged man realized he had misunderstood Jiang Wuming's intentions and furiously shouted.
However—
His words were cut short halfway through!
Because he clearly sensed that the aura of the young man in front of him had suddenly surged again, instantly surpassing his peak before he was injured, and it seemed to be endless!
"You broke through to Three-Star War God? No, you're still Two-Star War God! Could it be... you've broken through to the legendary eleventh stage?!"
The purple-robed middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with the expression of seeing a ghost!
