If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

The setting sun is like blood.

In the classroom of the senior martial arts class at Gaowu No.1 High School.

The school bell had just rung, and most students were already packing their bags to go home. My best friend Zhao Hai was sitting at the table, enthusiastically bragging to a few boys about the latest virtual reality game.

Lin Yuan sat in the corner by the window.

He rested his chin on his hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the clouds outside the window, dyed red by the setting sun. His right hand casually twirled a black carbon pen between his fingers.

Based on time calculations.

Xiaoya should be almost at the alleyway in front of her house by now, right?

She said this morning that she was going to make a mutated grass carp soup to nourish herself; I wonder how much chili she's planning to put in it.

Just as the warm scene full of everyday life appeared in Lin Yuan's mind...

boom--! ! !

The heavy solid wood door of the classroom was violently pushed open from the outside!

The loud impact plunged the previously noisy classroom into a deathly silence.

All eyes turned to the doorway.

There stood Su Qinghan, a rising star in the military, panting heavily outside the door.

Her face, which was usually as beautiful and aloof as a piece of ancient ice, was now completely bloodless, as pale as a sheet of paper!

Her chest heaved violently, and her fair forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. She clutched a top-of-the-line military communicator that flashed a blinding red light tightly in her hand.

All the boys in the class were stunned.

No one had ever seen this aloof and icy school beauty show such a panicked expression.

"Lin...Lin Yuan!"

Su Qinghan's gaze swept frantically across the classroom, instantly locking onto Lin Yuan, who was sitting by the window.

She rushed into the classroom like a whirlwind, completely ignoring the shocked looks around her, and pounced on Lin Yuan's desk.

His hands were pressed tightly against the table, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force.

"Something's happened..."

Su Qinghan's voice trembled violently, carrying a hint of undisguised self-reproach.

"My grandfather just sent me a top-level internal notification!"

"The Dark Spirit Society... has dispatched a Profound Sea Realm elder!"

"They routed the military's Dark Sword Special Operations Team at the entrance of a civilian alley."

At this point, Su Qinghan took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yuan.

"Your sister, Lin Xiaoya... has been kidnapped!"

"They escaped the Seventh Security Zone's defenses in a black car designed to avoid detection!"

Boom!

Outside the window, on the horizon, a muffled rumble of thunder could be faintly heard.

The classroom was deathly silent.

Zhao Hai's smile froze completely.

The surrounding classmates also looked horrified. Kidnapping? A heretical cultivator at the Profound Sea Realm?!

These words were simply unbelievable to these sheltered students!

Lin Yuan was sitting in a chair.

He didn't speak.

There was no action taken.

He maintained the same posture of resting his chin on one hand.

just.

The black carbon pen that he had been twirling in his right hand suddenly stopped in mid-air without warning.

next second.

No breaking sound was heard.

The carbon pen, made of hard engineering plastic, seemed to have been weathered by time for millions of years, right at Lin Yuan's fingertips.

Silently and without a sound.

It turned into a pool of fine black powder, which slid down between his fingers.

Followed by.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.

Those dark eyes, which were originally calm as still water and even had a hint of languor.

The moment it was lifted up, everything changed abruptly!

A streak of dark golden light, almost tangible, flashed wildly deep within his pupils!

boom--!!!

A trace of supreme blood energy, indescribable in words, broke through Lin Yuan's physical body's seal due to the outburst of his emotions, overflowing from his body!

Just a tiny bit!

But it was this slight leak of aura and pressure that made it so powerful.

Standing in front of him, the closest person to him, Su Qinghan felt as if the whole world had frozen at that moment!

Time seemed to stand still.

The air instantly transformed into a solid substance a thousand times heavier than mercury!

In that instant, every hair on Su Qinghan's body stood on end! An unprecedented, extreme fear, emanating from the deepest part of her soul, gripped her heart like a cold, icy hand!

In her retina.

The thin, frail boy in front of me seemed to vanish in an instant.

Instead.

It was an ancient Asura, towering ten thousand feet tall, covered in dark golden battle patterns, and with six terrifying demonic arms growing from its back!

The demon was staring intently at her with an absolutely cold gaze, devoid of any human emotion, as if looking down at an ant!

"Well……"

Su Qinghan's pupils dilated instantly, and her mind went blank.

Her once-proud, long legs now seemed to have lost all their bones, limp and almost collapsing to the ground.

Even the true energy she had painstakingly cultivated for many years in her dantian, under this pure physical pressure, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain and completely stopped circulating!

She couldn't breathe.

Unable to think.

The only instinct was to kneel on the ground and worship this god-demon who was about to devour the heavens and earth!

This sense of oppression was ten thousand times more terrifying than when she faced the three grandmasters that night!

"What...what's going on?!"

Su Qinghan screamed in despair in her heart.

Just as Su Qinghan was about to completely collapse and faint under this pressure,

That suffocating illusion suddenly receded like the tide.

The air began to flow again.

"I see."

Lin Yuan's cold, emotionless voice, as if it had drifted from the depths of hell, rang in Su Qinghan's ears.

Su Qinghan shivered violently, gasping for breath, her clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.

When she finally regained her balance and looked up in horror...

But then they discovered...

Lin Yuan had stood up at some point.

He walked past Su Qinghan expressionlessly, without even glancing at her, and headed straight for the classroom door.

His pace was slow, yet it exuded an absolute chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Lin Yuan...wait!"

Su Qinghan finally came to her senses. Suppressing the trembling in her legs, she turned around and shouted:

"Don't be impulsive! My grandfather has already mobilized the entire army's reconnaissance satellites to find that car!"

"Going alone won't do you any good! Contact your master immediately..."

however.

Lin Yuan completely ignored her cries.

His figure stepped out of the classroom and instantly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Su Qinghan gritted her teeth and stumbled after him.

As she rushed into the hallway.

Empty and desolate.

In the long corridor, there was no trace of Lin Yuan.

Only the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the cold tiles.

Su Qinghan looked down and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

Underneath the desk where Lin Yuan had just stood.

The high-strength alloy floorboard, capable of withstanding several tons of pressure, silently collapsed, leaving a clear footprint half an inch deep!

There was no trace of a burst of true energy.

It was purely due to the sudden loss of control over his physical weight that he stomped on it and collapsed!

"Gulp."

Su Qinghan swallowed hard, staring at the empty corridor, a sense of dread rising within her.

……

at the same time.

Less than 500 meters from the school, in a blind spot of surveillance cameras, in a dark alley filled with garbage.

boom!

Lin Yuan's body crashed onto the waterlogged ground like a heavy cannonball.

He casually tossed his worn-out schoolbag, which he always carried with him, into the trash can next to him.

"military?"

"Oh."

Lin Yuan lowered his head slightly, staring intently at the murky puddle at his feet.

His eyes, now completely consumed by violence and murderous intent, were reflected in the puddle.

His breathing began to become unusually heavy.

It sounded like a bellows being pulled violently, producing a deep rumble.

Tear—!!!

Lin Yuan grabbed his faded school uniform and exerted force.

The tough fabric was torn into fragile pieces like paper in an instant.

In this dark, dead-end alley.

His originally thin and frail body began to swell wildly and in a terrifying way!

Click click click click!

His bones erupted with a thunderous roar, and his muscles bulged outwards in a savage manner.

Thick, blue veins, like coiled dragons, crisscrossed wildly across his body.

Immediately afterwards, dark golden battle runes, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes and destruction, rapidly spread from his heart and instantly covered his entire body!

In just three seconds.

Lin Yuan, the high school student who barely passed, has completely disappeared.

Instead, there is a towering, two-and-a-half-meter-tall, black iron tower-like, oppressive demon god!

Lin Yuan slowly raised his right hand.

He pulled the pale plastic mask out of the torn pocket of his coat.

Click.

The mask covered his face, obscuring all his expressions, leaving only a pair of eyes that shimmered with a dark gold light, like those of the Grim Reaper.

"Since you Dark Spirits enjoy playing the disappearance game."

"Then I'll go ask the master of the Seventh Safe Zone!"

"Lead the way, or...die!"

Lin Yuan slightly bent his knees.

Boom! ...

Under the terrifying pressure of two hundred thousand extreme qi and blood, the ground of the entire dead-end alley instantly collapsed, creating a meteorite crater with a diameter of more than ten meters!

By means of this reaction force.

Lin Yuan's massive dark gold battle body, like an intercontinental missile flying against the current, directly smashed through the air barrier.

It was accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

He transformed into a black meteor streaking across the sky, carrying a heart full of Asura's rage, heading straight for the heavily guarded military headquarters building in the city center!
