The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

The golden figure remained silent.

The wind and snow fell on him, only to be silently evaporated by the golden light.

Li Yuan suddenly smiled, but the smile was bitter and astringent.

"It's not that we don't want to go home."

"If you go home and find that your home is gone, you might as well die here."

"At least if I die here, my family will still have a chance to escape."

"If you run away, you'll still have a home."

After he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the knife.

The blade already had several cuts.

But he seemed to have grasped something most precious, plunging the knife heavily into the city bricks to prop himself up.

"So, it's not that we won't back down."

"It's not possible to get a refund."

"We cannot retreat even a single step!"

Li Yuan looked up, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.

"A country must exist before a family can exist!"

On the city wall, the remaining four soldiers looked up at the same time.

In those four pairs of eyes, there still lingered the bewilderment of someone who had been brought back from the dead.

But at this moment, the confusion dissipated.

Only one thing remains.

That was the answer from the defenders of the city.

The golden figure remained silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

"Is this your answer?"

"yes!!"

The five people spoke in unison.

The next moment, they looked at each other.

They all bowed and clasped their hands in supplication to the golden figure.

"If our answer displeases you, senior, you may take our lives back at any time!"

"joke!"

The golden figure flicked his sleeve and looked towards the area beyond the pass.

"Why would I care about your lives?"

He tilted his head slightly, his tone still indifferent.

"Keep them for yourselves."

"Whether you choose to leave it to this city or dedicate it to time, the choice is yours!"

Li Yuan and the other four men were simultaneously jolted.

A moment later, they bent down even deeper.

"Thank you...senpai!"

The moment they straightened their backs.

"Clusters!"

Golden rays of light rose from the bodies of the five people.

The wind and snow swirled backwards.

The bloodstains on the city wall were illuminated by the golden light, and the broken armor plates hummed and vibrated.

The scattered qi and blood in the five people's bodies were gathered together again as if by a hand.

The newborn flesh and blood roared.

At that moment, the sound of their heartbeats drowned out the wind and snow.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

The five auras rose higher and higher.

Mid-stage Grandmaster.

Late stage of Grandmaster.

Grandmaster level achieved.

Finally, it was as if five knives simultaneously cleaved through the invisible shackles.

"boom!"

The Grandmaster's imposing aura surged skyward.

The remaining snow outside the pass sank down, and the military flags on the city walls suddenly rose.

"Holy crap..."

Someone on the playground uttered a curse first, and then the entire crowd erupted in cheers.

"You've already broken through?"

"A grandmaster indeed—"

"Why do I feel like I'm about to gain enlightenment just by looking at it?"

Just then, a calm yet slightly sour narration suddenly sounded from the sky.

[Li Yuan and his gang of brats are really lucky!]

I wonder what the junior was thinking?

With his ability to preserve a shattered soul and reshape a physical body, shouldn't the flaws between the soul and the newly formed body be easily erased?

Why bestow such a great opportunity...?

The students on the playground were stunned.

"Who?"

"Which old, pretentious brat is talking?"

"He doesn't sound like Ai Kun at all."

The next second, the camera suddenly shifted.

It went straight to the teacher's expressionless face.

Everyone: "..."

No.

You, a former Northern Territory Master at the Celestial Realm, envy five juniors who broke through to Grandmaster?

Is the opportunity to reach the Grandmaster realm still useful to you?

Pooh!

Shameless!

It was as if I could hear everyone's complaints.

The teacher's face remained tense, but his inner thoughts continued to surface.

This is a matter of clear understanding and self-examination!

This is a top-tier opportunity for spiritual enlightenment, on par with a sudden awakening or a profound awakening at Longchang Temple—one that is extremely rare and hard to come by!

Among the few terrestrial immortals at the forefront of the Guixu Source, one of the founders of Longhu Mountain is said to have achieved his breakthrough through enlightenment at a dragon-themed site.

[Now, this top-tier opportunity for enlightenment is just casually conjured up by this "classmate" Lu Ming invited, and presented as a reward?]

In the lens.

The teacher's eyes were getting increasingly sore.

The sour smell seemed to waft out even through the sky.

[Should I swallow my pride and go up and ask?]

[Maybe today I'll break through to the Celestial Realm, which I've been stuck at for ten years!]

[Hey senior, I'm starving! Can I have one too?]

The last sentence fell.

The playground of Jinling Wuzhong School was silent for a second.

The next moment, laughter erupted.

"puff……"

"Isn't 'Senior, I'm hungry~' something a teacher should say?"

"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts a bit, hahaha!"

The students burst into laughter.

Even the soldiers of the First Division of the State Guard, who were on guard duty on the perimeter, were shaking with suppressed laughter.

On the high platform.

Ye Long remained silent for a moment, then quietly took out his phone.

He sent that recording to his real-life teacher.

"Senior, I'm hungry~ Can I have one too?"

The other party replied instantly.

"Ye Long! I'm so angry!"

Ye Long put his phone away with satisfaction and looked back at the sky.

The atmosphere on the playground finally relaxed completely.

Everyone understood.

The Desolate Emperor did not humiliate the warriors of the Northern Border.

He was asking his own heart.

It was also a tremendous opportunity bestowed upon them.

All those curses, doubts, and resentments from before have become a joke at this moment.

of course.

Apart from Zhao Kuo.

He lay on his side on the grass, his eyes fixed on the sky.

When he saw Li Yuan and the other five break through, and when he saw the whole audience cheering for the Desolate Emperor again, the last glimmer of light in his eyes was completely extinguished.

"How...how could this be..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhao Kuo's head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

No one cares about him.

No one wanted to look at him anymore.

Ye Chuhao leaned back in his leather chair, holding Xingyao in his arms, a faint smile still on his lips.

Xingyao took a deep breath of his chest.

The worries that had been building up in my heart finally dissipated little by little.

She quietly tilted her head up and looked at the boy's overly composed face.

The more I looked at it, the angrier I became.

"snort."

"All he does is laugh!"

"What a... big bad guy!"

Ye Chuhao looked down at her, his smile deepening.

He stretched out a finger and gently poked her soft cheek.

"You've gotten bolder, little stutterer."

Xingyao stared at the slender finger, her throat bobbing slightly.

Want to take a bite?

Ok……

Her face grew increasingly red, but she began to mentally reassure herself.

Take a bite, just one bite!

Who told him to always be so mean?

I made her so worried just now.

Moreover.

They've both made their relationship public.

He called her his wife.

She also said that she would always be his.

Is there a problem with taking a bite?

No! ! !

Xingyao's eyes hardened little by little.

Then, she suddenly lowered her head and carefully moved closer to Ye Chuhao's finger.

Ye Chuhao noticed her little movement, chuckled softly, and didn't dodge.

The finger remained suspended in mid-air, allowing her to approach little by little.

Xingyao originally just wanted to go closer to test it out, but when she got really close, she panicked instead.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she cheered herself up.

Finally, she opened her mouth and bit a small piece of her finger.

"Hmm."

It was a very light touch, like a feather brushing past, or like a kitten tentatively touching its paw.

Ye Chuhao paused slightly, then looked down at her.

"Finished biting?"

Xingyao's ear tips were bright red, but she pretended to be calm and put on a fierce look.

"I just... I just took a bite,"

"Um."

Ye Chuhao went along with her, his smile indulgent.

"You can take as many bites as you want, but let's continue watching the show for now."

He looked up and gazed at the sky again.

Within the canopy,

Li Yuan and the other four suddenly opened their eyes, feeling the abundant power within their bodies.

next moment,

They suddenly knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,

"Thank you for the generous gift, senior!!!"

The golden figure looked towards the pass and casually responded.

"No need to thank me. You deserve it."

His gaze focused on the mangled human corpses outside the city, and he stretched.

"Hmm~"

"Alright, I promised Lu Ming I'd protect you in the Northern Territory for a while, but it's true I'm late. As compensation..."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

At that moment, everyone on the northern city wall stared intently at the golden figure.

Li Yuan felt his body tremble, as if an electric current was coursing through him, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Senior... what do you mean?"

The golden figure raised its right hand and chuckled softly, "Of course, we'll bring them all back..."
