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

Nanhai No.1 Middle School.

"Qingxue! Watch out behind you!"

With a loud shout, Xia Ming's spear tip drew a sharp arc, accurately knocking away a demon that was attacking Lin Qingxue!

"Bang!"

The first-level demon slammed heavily against the wall in the distance, twitched twice, and then went still.

"Huff... huff..."

Lin Qingxue leaned on the straight knife in her hand, her chest heaving violently, and the few strands of hair on her forehead were already soaked with sweat.

As a newcomer to martial arts, she was clearly struggling.

On the other hand, Xia Ming, though also breathing somewhat rapidly, was still quite capable of dealing with these small fry as a second-realm martial artist.

Half an hour ago, the two arrived at Area A and headed straight for Nanhai No.1 Middle School.

As a result, they happened to run into a monster.

"Are you alright?"

Xia Ming patted Lin Qingxue on the shoulder.

"Thank you, senior. I'm fine." Lin Qingxue shook her head and wiped the sweat from her temples.

She glanced back at the boys' dormitory.

Yang Xian is very likely in the dormitory building!

I will absolutely not allow any monster to cross this line!

"Okay, then take a short break."

Xia Ming noticed her exhaustion: "The reinforcements will arrive soon, and there are five official martial artists outside the school holding the line. We just need to deal with these stragglers."

That's what he said, but Xia Ming was having doubts.

This situation doesn't seem right at all!

The next moment, Xia Ming's ears twitched, and he turned around abruptly.

"who!"

A figure was standing at the entrance of the girls' dormitory not far away.

The other person was wearing a snow-white dress, and her long, smooth, light blue hair reached her waist.

Her skin was snow-white, and her light brown eyes were crystal clear with slightly drooping corners.

The girl walked out of the dormitory and looked around blankly.

"Da Yang... Da Yang..."

"Sisters, do you know where Da Yang is?"

"Xiao Bai doesn't want a big meal anymore, Xiao Bai just wants to find Da Yang now."

Xia Ming and Lin Qingxue exchanged a glance, their faces full of questions.

Da Yang?

Who is it?

What time is it? You still have the mind to look for someone?

This girl is so carefree!

"Hey student, it's dangerous outside! You should go back to your dorm and hide!"

Xia Ming frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "Trust us, this crisis will be over soon!"

Bai Chuyi stubbornly shook her head, her clear eyes filled with seriousness.

"I know it's dangerous outside."

"That's why Xiaobai is even more determined to save Dayang."

In her simple world, logic is that simple.

There is danger, so we must protect the most important people.

Just then, on the top floor of a teaching building a few hundred meters away.

A figure shrouded in a black cloak was looking down at the scene below.

He slowly raised his hand and lightly tapped the miniature communicator next to his ear.

"Report, target located."

A cold, processed voice came through the headphones.

"Make your move, capture them alive if possible."

"yes!"

The moment the cloaked man finished speaking.

"boom--!"

A deafening explosion rang out from the school, and flames shot into the sky!

The loud noise seemed to be a signal.

"Awooo—!"

"roar--!"

Outside the school walls, the roars of monsters echoed incessantly.

Three dark figures suddenly leaped over the wall and landed heavily on the ground, their scarlet eyes fixed on Xia Ming and his companions!

Xia Ming's expression instantly turned ugly.

"Oh no! Three at the second level!"

She turned to Lin Qingxue and Bai Chuyi and yelled, "Qingxue, take her and leave! I'll hold them off!"

After saying that, she took the initiative to approach a second-realm demon.

Xia Ming had cursed the intelligence department a thousand times in his heart.

The intelligence is incorrect!

Wasn't it said that there were less than ten small fry who infiltrated Area A this time?

There are almost more than ten of them just from the school!

The most crucial question is, how exactly did they sneak into the city so quietly?!

"Pfft!"

Xia Ming raised his spear and blocked one of the demons.

But the other two demons seized the opportunity, bypassed her defenses, and charged straight at Lin Qingxue and Bai Chuyi!

Xia Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and he tried to defend himself, but it was too late.

"not good!"

------

Off-campus.

"Damn it!"

"We have no choice but to fight now!"

Yang Xian watched the second-realm monster leaping towards the school and decided to take action.

Even if we don't act now, we'll probably have to confront it once we get to school.

Since that's the case, why not just take it down now!

"Look!"

"That person... he charged at the monster!"

"Is he a martial artist? He's so young!"

"He's quite handsome, but that small frame... looks a bit risky."

"Stop looking! Run!"

"When gods fight, mortals suffer; be careful not to get caught in the crossfire!"

"..."

The chaotic crowd instinctively avoided Yang Xian, leaving enough space between him and the monster.

"A breathtakingly beautiful step!"

Yang Xian's figure turned into a blurry afterimage.

Amidst everyone's gasps, he closed the distance to the monster in an instant with unbelievable speed!

The joints cracked crisply, and with a clenched fist, the fist shot out with a thunderous boom!

Ice Soul Divine Technique!

"roar!"

The humanoid monster sensed the threat from behind, and a savage glint flashed in its crimson compound eyes.

It suddenly turned around, its carapace-covered claws tearing through the air as it viciously grabbed at Yang Xian!

A fist and a claw collided, and a chill suddenly swept out from them.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in shock, both physically and mentally.

Holy crap?

Without even using weapons, they're just going to fight monsters head-on?

This guy is too fierce!

Is his hand made of diamond?

Or are the monsters made of paper?

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The fist and claw separated at the same time.

Yang Xian swayed slightly, only feeling a slight numbness in his arm, but was otherwise unharmed.

But that monster was in trouble!

Not only was its entire body covered in frost, but its entire paw shattered into countless ice shards, which clattered and fell to the ground!

The difference in strength is obvious at a glance!

"hiss--!"

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell.

Passersby were stunned.

Who is the real monster?

This young martial artist is ridiculously strong!

"Go, warrior! Kill this wretched monster!"

"Yes! Kill it! We're all your backup!"

"I don't understand, how can so many of us not be able to handle just one?"

"That's right! The advantage is with me!"

"Just do it!"

"..."

Ignoring the noise around him, Yang Xian lightly shook his numb right hand. "I still suffered from a lack of combat experience."

That punch was a bit reckless.

Fighting monsters head-on is ultimately not the best solution.

Yang Xian's advantage was purely due to the overwhelming power of his top-tier Heaven-level cultivation technique.

Keep in mind that he had only advanced to the second realm less than a day ago.

The aura emanating from this demon was at least at the mid-stage of the second realm, or even higher.

Monsters are naturally stronger than human martial artists of the same level!

This also shows just how terrifying the "Ice Soul Divine Technique - Enhanced Edition" given by the system is.

If Yang Xian had more combat experience, he could have attacked the enemy's vital points.

That one strike was definitely enough to take it down!

"It seems that focusing solely on improving one's cultivation level isn't a sustainable strategy."

"I need to find more opportunities to go out and practice more, fight monsters, and gain experience."

"But right now, saving Little White is the most important thing!"

Yang Xian looked at the 6000 points on his panel and waved his hand!

"system!"

"All in on the Ice Soul Divine Technique!"
