"Er..."
Startled by Li Rui's words, everyone in the combat command center, as well as Long Qisheng, froze. The image of the young man appeared in their minds.
Even though the young man had left the Martial Department and the Dragon Country, his image was already deeply etched in their minds.
Moreover, the young man had always stood at the forefront of the global martial arts scene, his every move closely watched.
"Staff Officer Li, will Jiang Wuming intervene? Also, is his current strength sufficient to kill an extraterrestrial enemy at the tenth stage of a Five-Star War God?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Long Qisheng asked.
"The East Sea Martial Academy has his friends and students. He will not let them be harmed."
Li Rui spoke again, his words like pearls:
"I don't know if he can kill an extraterrestrial enemy at the tenth stage of a Five-Star War God, but I know that since his debut, he has never lost a cross-border battle!"
Long Qisheng fell silent, and the combat command center quieted down. Everyone couldn't help but recall the various martial arts legends the young man had created along the way, while anticipation filled their eyes.
Including Long Qisheng, everyone expected the young man to create another martial arts legend as he had before, killing the extraterrestrial enemy before the curtain!
"Connect to the surveillance network of the East Sea Martial Academy and synchronize the surveillance video of the East Sea Martial Academy's martial arts arena."
Immediately, Li Rui spoke again, issuing an order that broke the silence in the combat command center.
He wanted to watch the battle through video.
"Yes, Commander!"
The staff members in the combat command center immediately took their orders and quickly connected to the East Sea Martial Academy's surveillance network.
Soon, the scene of the East Sea Martial Academy's martial arts arena appeared on the large screen of the combat command center.
On the martial arts arena, Xia Xueqin, along with the school's teachers and the head of the East Sea branch, Liu Kui, stood at the forefront, one hundred meters away from the curtain. The students, fully armed, stood behind them.
Within the curtain, there was still only the extraterrestrial enemy emanating the aura of a Five-Star War God at the tenth stage.
He was enveloped in black true energy, making it impossible to see his appearance, only to feel his powerful and terrifying aura.
That aura intimidated everyone present, like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, making them feel suppressed and filled with fear.
Whether it was the teachers and students of the East Sea Martial Academy or the members of the East Sea branch, they were not cowards, nor did they fear death, otherwise, they would not have continued to stand in the martial arts arena.
But the absolute suppression of strength and the intimidation of aura brought them an unshakeable fear, like animals in a forest encountering a tiger.
What to do?
Are they all going to die here?
Will the East Sea be massacred after Suchen?
Amidst the fear, thoughts arose in many people's minds.
Then, except for Xia Xueqin, Xia Dong, and Chu Feng, everyone else felt a sense of despair.
They had the courage to fight the enemy with their heads held high, and the determination to face death!
If the extraterrestrial enemy's strength was not significantly different, they could fight desperately, but now, they didn't even have the qualification to fight desperately – with the strength of the extraterrestrial enemy within the curtain, he could kill them all with a raise of his hand!
However—
Just as everyone despaired, an aura of a Nine-Star War God at the fourth stage suddenly swept rapidly towards the martial arts arena.
The speed of the approaching person was so fast that, including Xia Xueqin, no one present could see his figure clearly, only sense the movement of his aura.
Immediately, the aura stopped moving, and the person stopped in front of the curtain, his back to everyone, facing the curtain alone!
Swish, swish, swish...
In an instant, everyone's gaze unanimously turned towards that figure.
Who is that?
At this moment, except for Xia Xueqin, Xia Dong, and Chu Feng, everyone's hearts were filled with the same question.
As for Xia Dong and Chu Feng, they were both filled with excitement!
They knew that the person standing in front of the curtain was Jiang Wuming!
Xia Xueqin also knew.
Looking at the young man's familiar back, she was excited, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Because she knew the young man's current special identity and his complicated relationship with the Dragon Country's Martial Department, she didn't dare to look at the young man when she left with Xia Dong and Chu Feng earlier.
From the bottom of her heart, before she knew the strength of the extraterrestrial enemy, she did not want the young man to be involved in this battle and stir up trouble.
Later, she and everyone present learned that the extraterrestrial enemy was a Five-Star War God at the tenth stage.
At that time, Liu Kui suggested retreating, and she chose not to retreat, not because of the rules she had personally led in establishing, but because she knew the young man was here, and she had judged that the young man would come!
However—
When the young man truly arrived, her heart could not remain calm, and her emotions were extremely complex.
This was the second time she had experienced such a feeling.
The first time was when Ye Jinmei was murdered, and after Jiang Zhan bloodbathed the Zhao family, he reached an agreement with Long Zhe, choosing to continue guarding the Loulan Ancient City.
"That person's back looks very familiar!"
"You... do you think it looks like Teacher Wuming's back?"
"It's very similar! And Teacher Wuming's martial realm is also Nine-Star War God at the fourth stage. Could it really be Teacher Wuming who has arrived?"
"But, isn't Teacher Wuming in the City of Sin??"
Soon, the silence of the martial arts arena was broken. Some students looked at the back in front of the curtain and couldn't help but speak.
As students of the East Sea Martial Academy, watching and studying Jiang Wuming's battle videos was a mandatory course.
Moreover, some of them had witnessed Jiang Wuming fighting extraterrestrial enemies in the martial arts arena before and were extremely familiar with Jiang Wuming's back, recognizing him at a glance.
Not only the students but also the teachers of the East Sea Martial Academy and the members of the East Sea branch. One teacher excitedly said:
"Xia... Dean Xia..."
"All personnel, exit the martial arts arena and await orders at the entrance of the martial arts arena!"
Before the teacher could finish his words, Xia Xueqin calmed herself, gathered her qi and dan tian, and let out a low cry, issuing a new order.
"Yes!"
In an instant, all the teachers and students of the East Sea Martial Academy and the people from the East Sea branch responded in unison and orderly retreated from the martial arts arena.
"Xia... Dean Xia, is the person at the curtain Teacher Wuming?!"
After everyone had completely exited the martial arts arena, the teacher who had spoken earlier couldn't help but ask Xia Xueqin again.
Swish, swish, swish...
In an instant, everyone looked at Xia Xueqin with excitement and anticipation, waiting for her answer.
"I don't know."
Xia Xueqin shook her head, choosing to conceal the truth.
Because she knew that Jiang Wuming's current identity was special and it was not appropriate to reveal it, and Jiang Wuming himself had not appeared in front of everyone, only leaving his back to everyone, which was likely because he did not want to reveal his identity.
"Er..."
Hearing Xia Xueqin's reply, everyone was stunned.
Then, those who were pessimistic showed concern on their faces again.
Under the heavens, only Jiang Wuming could fight extraterrestrial enemies at the Five-Star War God realm at the Fourth-Star War God realm!
If that person was not Jiang Wuming, the outcome of this battle would be the same as before, and everyone would die here.
"Teacher Wuming!"
However, there were also many optimistic people who believed that the figure in front was Jiang Wuming. One student even shouted towards the back figure.
"Teacher Wuming!"
"Teacher Wuming!!"
Following that, more and more students shouted loudly.
They also made the same judgment and were no longer worried, but excitedly shouted at Jiang Wuming's back, expecting Jiang Wuming to turn around and say a word to them as he had before:
"We can win!"
However—
The scene they expected did not appear.
In front of the curtain.
The young man did not turn around or speak from beginning to end.
"Teacher Wuming, victory is assured!!"
Despite the dashed hope, the students were certain that the person in front of the curtain was Jiang Wuming. Before Jiang Wuming could say the words, they shouted in unison again.
They firmly believed that the young man they regarded as an idol and a hero would kill the extraterrestrial enemy as he had before!
This was a belief rooted in their hearts, a belief that penetrated their souls!
The young man's body trembled slightly.
