Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Besides the three of us, no one else knows about Yang Xian's death, right?"

Huang Meng's throat bobbed, breaking the eerie silence.

"That's strange!" Jiang Hong's expression also became serious.

"Is it haunted in broad daylight?"

The three of them looked at the thin envelope in their hands.

An utterly absurd thought arose in their minds simultaneously.

"Could it be..."

"Is Yang Xian really still alive?"

They spoke in unison.

"Who cares where it's from! Let's just open it and see!" Huang Meng was an impatient person, and he tore open the envelope without believing it!

The letter was roughly torn out and quickly unfolded.

Several large characters were written on it in a vigorous and powerful style, each stroke seemingly carrying a strong sense of resentment.

"Old Biden! Come quickly and take me back to Star City!"

This handwriting... who else could it be but that kid Yang Xian?

"..."

"..."

Shen Qingtong and Jiang Hong leaned over for a look, and both fell silent.

Huang Meng suddenly looked up, as if he had realized something: "What Xiao Bai said, could it all be true?"

His reminder made the other two instantly recall the event.

Bai Chuyi did mention to them more than once that Yang Xian was in Star City, waiting for them to pick him up.

But at the time, no one took her words seriously.

Everyone assumed the girl was lying, or that she was hallucinating because she missed her so much.

But who could have imagined...

That seemingly naive girl, every single word she uttered was actually true!

Yang Xian is really still alive!

"This kid... he's got a really tough life!" Shen Qingtong couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's more than just hard!" Jiang Hong let out a long breath, his tense body finally relaxing.

"To survive the power of 'The Flame' is nothing short of a miracle!"

On the other side, Jiang Mengyun, holding her own letter, almost ran back to her room.

She locked the door from the inside, leaned against the door panel, her heart still pounding.

She had already asked someone to distribute the other letters to their respective recipients.

Now, only this one letter remains that belongs to her.

"After being apart for so long, what will Yang Xian say to me?"

With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, the girl sat down at her desk and carefully opened the envelope.

Familiar handwriting came into view.

"My dearest Mengyun, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing this title, Jiang Mengyun's face flushed red instantly, her heart filled with sweetness.

She continued reading.

"I think about you and our baby every single day..."

"Don't worry, I'm doing fine in Star City. I have enough to eat and wear, but I don't have much freedom. It's almost like being in prison..."

Jiang Mengyun read it carefully, bit by bit, as if afraid of missing a single word.

Her cheeks were flushed, a mixture of happiness and shyness.

This was the first time she had received a message from Yang Xian.

Knowing that he was still alive and well, the weight that had been hanging over her heart for so long finally lifted.

In the letter, Yang Xian briefly recounted what happened after he was taken away by the Glory Society. Of course, he only briefly touched upon the most dangerous experience with "Spark".

In his letter, he frankly explained that after experiencing some things, the foreign girl named Elena also became one of them.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Mengyun unconsciously pouted.

Another one?

How come this guy can attract women wherever he goes!

In his letter, Yang Xian stated that besides Elena, there had been new "developments" in Star City, but he did not explicitly say that he was entangled with a Martial Emperor of the Seventh Realm.

He only vaguely mentioned that he had been noticed by a big shot and was temporarily unable to get away.

Soon, Jiang Mengyun saw the end of the letter and unconsciously read it aloud.

"If you can, please tell your grandfather and the others and ask them to find a way to bring me back."

"There's not much that can be written in a letter. Let's talk on the phone once Nanhai City can communicate with the outside world normally!"

"Take care of yourself, and wait for me to come home!"

That concludes the letter.

But the girl still wasn't satisfied, so she watched it again from beginning to end, over and over again...

She looked at the letter over and over again at least ten times before reluctantly folding it up again and locking it in a box.

"Yang Xian, don't worry..." The girl gently stroked her round belly, her face beaming with a happy smile.

"My child and I are waiting for you to come back in the South China Sea..."

Star Academy, Mecha Training Ground.

"boom!"

A heavy mech wielded a massive alloy battle axe and cleaved it in two, splitting a training target in half.

Inside the arena, students were piloting their mechs and conducting various training exercises.

Yang Xian stood alone at the edge of the training field, watching all of this with a sense of boredom.

Since he didn't have a mecha, he could only watch from the sidelines.

During training, however, a gray mech would occasionally cast its gaze toward Yang Xian.

Inside the mech, pilot Wei Teng, through the communication channel, menacingly ordered his subordinate beside him: "Proceed according to plan!"

"Yes, Young Master Wei!" the henchman's mecha responded immediately.

The next moment, the younger brother piloted his mech, broke away from the battle, and flew straight towards the young teacher who was giving instructions on the sidelines.

"Teacher! Teacher! There seems to be a problem with my mecha's energy circuit. Could you please take a look?"

The young teacher, unsuspecting, immediately followed his younger brother's mech to the other end of the training field.

That place... happens to be a blind spot.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

A red light flashed in Wei Teng's mech eyes. He pretended to make a mistake and the energy cannon on the right arm of the mech suddenly changed direction.

They aimed their shots at Yang Xian, who was completely unsuspecting in the rest area!

A blue energy ball the size of a basketball shot out with a piercing whistling sound!

"Watch out, Yang Xian!"

A sharp-eyed female student noticed the strange occurrence and let out a terrified scream.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the ball of energy.

The teacher, who was inspecting the mecha, suddenly turned around and was shocked by what he saw.

Without a second thought, he immediately unleashed his full speed, rushing towards the energy ball in an attempt to intercept it.

"Oh no! It's too late!"

The energy ball was moving too fast and was too close.

He didn't have time to get there!

Everyone watched as the energy ball flew slowly toward Yang Xian.

Finished!

An ordinary martial artist who is not wearing a mecha.

How could anyone possibly survive such an attack?!
