High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Jinling.

City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, this place belonged to 'Li Wan'er,' or rather, to the Dark Star Old Witch.

And now.

With the conclusion of the Battle of Jinling, the Dark Star Clan was defeated and the Human Race won a great victory. The owner of this magnificent city lord's mansion once again became a human from the Blue Star Clan.

More precisely.

The owner of this city lord's mansion has become Lu Yu.

Although this was his first time appearing here since the war ended.

"What?"

"You're going to the abyss?"

"Cross that gate to the abyss, and go to another, truly abyssal world?!"

Inside the newly renovated main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Jiang Xueying's sweet cry rang out.

It came at the same time.

All the high-ranking members of the human race present turned their gazes toward Lu Yu.

A moment ago.

Lu Yu, who had just returned from the temple, suddenly came to the city lord's mansion and announced the news.

This statement came out.

It was like a calm lake surface suddenly being rippled when a huge stone was thrown in.

"Xiaoyu..."

Fang Yun, Lu Yu's aunt, is still only at the Supreme Realm, but she has now become an important member of the human race's high-ranking officials and appeared in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

And this moment.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Fang also looked at Lu Yu, her face showing deep tension and worry.

After hesitating for a moment.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help speaking anyway:

"Xiaoyu."

"Aunt Fang knows that you are very strong now, and your giant beast pets are also very powerful."

"but……"

"Beyond the Gate of the Abyss lies a true world of colossal beasts!"

"It's fraught with danger, teeming with giant beasts, and fraught with deadly threats at every turn!"

"The Dark Star Deity mentioned unintentionally before that the god-level Frost Crow was merely one of the twelve Abyss Ancestral God Beasts!"

"The unspoken implication is—"

"Currently, at least eleven, or even more, god-level behemoths still exist in the Abyss World!"

"Even with immense personal strength, venturing alone into the abyss is a perilous journey if you find yourself surrounded!"

Aunt Fang's voice echoed in the hall.

The rest of the people present.

Jiang Zhenmin and others had been following Lu Yu's "original shares" since Yu City, while Zhuo Xu and others had only recently joined, but they were all powerful Xuanlong Army commanders with the strength of demigods.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing their strong agreement with Fang Yun's words.

Lu Yu remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Aunt Fang, you're right."

The words fell.

Fang Yun was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile was about to appear on her face.

But then, Lu Yu said in a calm yet firm tone:

"but……"

"I have a reason why I must go to this abyss world."

This statement came out.

The vast hall fell silent instantly.

A good while passed.

Jiang Xueying spoke first, breaking the silence and voicing the question that was on everyone's mind.

Why?

"The Dark Star Clan was just defeated by us, and even a group of gods were wiped out by you."

"Although the gate to the abyss has always been open, the strongest beings who could cross it to reach Earth would be demigods, and demigods pose no threat to you in your current state."

"Why are you still in such a hurry to go to the Abyss World?"

Jiang Xueying's tone was filled with confusion, but also with anxiety and worry.

Ever since that incident three years ago, when Lu Yu disappeared without a trace and his fate was unknown, she has been extremely afraid that the same scene would repeat itself.

Not to mention.

Lu Yu of today is no longer just the boy she grew up with.

Today, Lu Yu shoulders a greater mission and holds a greater status. He is the leader and faith in the hearts of nearly 100 million Blue Star people inside and outside Jinling.

If something really happens to Lu Yu...

Jiang Xueying and the others didn't even dare to imagine such an ending.

"because……"

Lu Yu sighed, wanting to say a few words to reassure those who cared about him.

But once I started speaking, I didn't know where to begin.

Ultimately.

Lu Yu made such a "sudden" decision to go to the Abyss World.

The reason is...

The result was the same as the previous trip to the temple.

[1/4 of a Star God-level behemoth core, or equivalent energy resources!]

This is the condition that Lu Yu needs to pay to the temple in order to obtain information about the location of the Dark Star High Priest, or rather, the Dark Star's lair.

The core of a Star God-level behemoth, also known as a God-level beast core.

Not long ago, Lu Yu actually did have it.

The third-realm divine beast core from the Frost Crow.

But alas!

In order to briefly awaken the Empress and use her power to fight against the old witch who summoned the gods, the divine beast core was completely consumed.

Not to mention a quarter, not even a single crumb remained...

of course.

The temple does not necessarily require "god-level beast cores"; it can also use "equivalent ability resources".

But after careful consideration, Lu Yu thought that might be even more difficult.

Demigods and gods, though seemingly only one realm apart, are actually worlds apart.

And now, on Earth.

Whether they are abyssal behemoths or remnants of the Dark Star, at most they can only be beings at the demigod level.

How many demigods' energy resources would be equivalent to 1/4 of a Star God-level beast core?

Lu Yu had indeed asked the Temple this question before, and the answer he received left him speechless.

[It depends on the demigod level!]

[Approximate range: 10~20!]

In other words.

At the very least, Lu Yu would have to kill ten demigods to meet the requirements and obtain information from the temple.

Ten demigods?

Lu Yu even doubted whether the Dark Star Clan still had at least ten demigods remaining on Blue Star.

Even if it exists.

After the outcome of the Battle of Nanjing was announced, they were probably scattered all over the country, hiding and fleeing.

By the time Lu Yu finds them all, it'll be too late; the grass on the God of War's grave will probably be three feet tall...

In comparison.

In the Abyss World, aside from the Ancestral Gods and Beasts, there are plenty of Demigod Beasts as well.

For Lu Yu now, collecting ten, or even twenty, demigod beast cores is not a difficult task.

If you're lucky enough to encounter a lone ancestral god or behemoth, you can not only reach your goal in one step, but also reap rewards far exceeding your expectations.

after all.

The information Lu Yu wanted to obtain from the Holy Temple was not limited to just the Dark Star High Priest!

And then there's...

Even if the extra demigod beast cores or even god-level beast cores are not useful in the temple, Lu Yu can still convert them into beast-taming power to improve the realm of Caesar and other pet beasts.

Although they are now at the demigod level, not all of them have reached the peak of demigod status like the Nine Revolutions Holy Heavenly Dragon.

Xiao Meng, whose cultivation level is the lowest, is only a first-level demigod.

and so.

Lu Yu's decision to go to the Abyss World seemed sudden.

In reality, it was the result of his careful consideration of various factors after returning from the temple.

Inside the lobby.

Everyone's eyes remained fixed on Lu Yu, who was in the center, and never left him.

only.

Lu Yu remained silent, but did not offer any further explanation.

"I need to go."

Lu Yu raised his head and spoke again, as if announcing a decision.

And this time...

Even though Aunt Fang's face was still full of worry, after a moment of silence, she sighed and said:

"You are now the leader of the human race, and whatever decision you make, we will support you."

"only……"

"You absolutely, positively, must ensure your own safety."

"Never do anything too risky."

"I, Xueying, Shiyao, and countless other humans are waiting for you to return here."

The words fell.

Inside the hall, everyone else looked up and responded in unison.

"Lu Yu (classmate/friend/adult)!"

"We're waiting for you to come back!"

This moment.

No one questioned Lu Yu's reasons for going, whether it was for himself or for the sake of humanity.

Although they were all very curious.

but……

They wouldn't press further, much less try to persuade Lu Yu to change his mind.

As for the reason?

Very simple.

Lu Yu is now the leader of the human race on Blue Star, the leader of all of them.

That one sentence is enough.

Jiang Xueying's previous questioning was only possible because she and Lu Yu were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship.

The rest of the people?

Even Jiang Zhenmin would never utter a single extra word.

Respecting any decision Lu Yu makes is the most basic respect he has for his current status and position among humans!

"it is good."

Lu Yu let out a breath.

Seeing that no one was saying anything more, I felt much more relaxed.

His gaze swept around the room, finally settling on Jiang Zhenmin.

"Principal Jiang."

When Lu Yu spoke, his tone was not arrogant at all; on the contrary, he remained polite and respectful.

"Eh!"

"Lu Yu, no, Lord Lu Yu!"

"Zhenmin is here!"

Jiang Zhenmin appeared somewhat flustered and apprehensive when Lu Yu suddenly called out his name.

"Why--"

Seeing this, Lu Yu sighed and shook his head, saying:

"There's no need for that."

"There are some things I want to tell you."

This statement came out.

The people present exchanged glances.

In particular, the five Xuanlong Army leaders, including Zhuo Xu, who were at the demigod level, first froze, then showed some relief and acceptance.

finally.

Many envious gazes were cast upon the former principal of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School.

"You, you said—"

Jiang Zhenmin was flattered and spoke repeatedly.

Lu Yu, too lazy to dwell on attitudes and titles any longer, simply gave instructions on all his plans and ideas during his absence:

"Strive to gather the human army and its remaining forces..."

"Capture those corrupted Dark Star warriors first, and I will purify and resurrect them upon my return..."

"Once the situation in Jiang Province is completely stable, we can expand to other regions, including Shanghai, Beijing, and even those reclusive families..."

"Also, keep an eye out for and inquire about the whereabouts of some other people: Aunt Nangong, Shangguan Xiaoyue, the Five Saints of the Martial Academy..."

"..."

"These are spatial dragon scales. I'll keep a few for you to distribute later."

"If we encounter problems in Jinling or other battlefields that we cannot solve, I can activate the Space Dragon Scales and travel through space to get here at any time..."

Inside the main hall of Jinling City.

Lu Yu's voice echoed in waves.

The faces of everyone present gradually revealed increasingly gratified and proud smiles.

This moment.

Looking at the young man in the middle of the hall, explaining the various arrangements word by word.

In a daze.

Everyone seemed to see it too: amidst this chaos and natural disasters, the human race on Earth was slowly rising again, heading towards a bright and powerful future...
