High-level female soldiers: My female soldiers are all SSS-rank!

Ye Chu stepped into the quiet and empty villa area. An unusual silence permeated the surroundings, as if time had frozen here, isolating the hustle and bustle and leaving only the desolate emptiness of the wilderness.

Although the sunlight shone down, it could not penetrate the oppressive atmosphere, making the entire area appear exceptionally desolate, like a forgotten ancient city.

Just then, a slight vibration from my phone broke the surrounding silence, and a short but significant message appeared on the screen.

The message was simple: congratulations to Ye Chu for surviving the first night; he would be under protection until sunset today.

If the Shao family dares to attack Ye Chu again, then Zhenhai City will step in.

Ye Chu slightly curled the corners of his lips, a faint smile appearing on his face. Then, he flashed away and stepped into a secluded corner.

There, it seemed, was a tranquil space that nature had specially reserved for him, far away from all the disturbances of the outside world.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly raising his palms before firmly placing them on his chest.

With a deep and powerful roar, countless tiny streams within Ye Chu's body seemed to be instantly activated, flowing with an inexhaustible power.

A warm sensation seeped from my palm and quickly spread throughout my body, accompanied by a series of soft crackling sounds—a sign that my muscles and bones were stretching and my blood was boiling.

Last night's fierce battle, though not fatal, left him with aches and pains all over his body, as if he had gone through an arduous and rigorous training.

Now, in this secluded place, Ye Chu is undergoing rapid self-repair and adjustment in an almost self-torturing manner, using the power hidden within his body.

Every inch of skin and every muscle is rapidly regaining its former vitality and resilience under this extreme method.

Soon, as the last crackling sound dissipated into the air, Ye Chu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining with an even more resolute and profound light.

He knew that the road ahead would be even more arduous, but it was this challenge that ignited his passion and strengthened his resolve to move forward.

"You've worked hard, get some rest."

Ye Chu spoke.

Before the words were finished, the figure formed by the White Dragon Spear swayed slightly and reformed into human form, which was none other than Mu Tongyan.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes gleaming with a weary yet indomitable light. She responded to Ye Chu's concern with a slight smile, a smile that revealed a sense of relief at the challenge and an expectation for the future.

Then, she turned gracefully, her steps carrying a subtle firmness, and slowly walked up to the quiet upstairs.

As Ye Chu watched her retreating figure, a ripple of emotion stirred within him, and he sighed inwardly.

Tonight, Mu Tongyan fully embodies the Zhen trigram from the Eight Trigrams of Thunder.

She was able to unleash that awe-inspiring power more than ten times in a row. If she hadn't possessed that top-tier SSS-level talent, she probably would have been powerless and unable to sustain it long ago.

This talent and perseverance are both admirable and heartbreaking.

After a moment of silence, Chen Wenwen slowly walked into the villa. Her figure revealed a hint of weariness that was not easily detected, as if she were carrying an invisible burden on her shoulders.

"How's the situation over there?"

Ye Chu asked.

Chen Wenwen sighed softly, a bitter smile barely tugging at the corners of her lips, a smile that concealed a mixture of helplessness and resignation.

"What else can we do? The Shao family's influence is deeply entrenched and they have a large number of people. It's simply impossible to deal with them all one by one."

Her words revealed a sense of helplessness, yet also a tenacious spirit.

"I'm afraid they'll send an even more troublesome person tonight."

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chu nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"You did a great job, Wenwen. It's truly remarkable that you remained calm and persevered in the face of such difficulties."

"Please be extra careful tonight and protect yourself."

……

Ye Chu was well aware that the Shao family's counterattack tonight would be even more terrifying.

Immediately, Ye Chu went to the bedroom.

Instead of overthinking, focus on strengthening yourself.

Ye Chu exhaled a breath of turbid air, his chest feeling as deep as a thousand mountains and valleys.

Recalling the battle with Chen Si tonight still leaves him with lingering fear.

If he hadn't used his internal energy so skillfully on the brink of life and death, he would probably have turned into dust long ago.

Every time I recall the power of Chen Hua's Dragon-Shaking Fist, it's like a thunderclap in my ears, shaking my very soul.

The difficulty of this battle made him realize that only by constantly honing himself and making strength the strongest armor could he safeguard his inner peace and dignity in the coming storm.

The Shao family's final trump card is none other than the fourth-tier Grandmaster Yao Qianwei; it's anyone's guess when they'll make their move.

However, all these unknown threats could not extinguish the inextinguishable flame in Ye Chu's heart. Even if it was only a one in ten thousand glimmer of hope, he was determined to hold on tightly and not let it slip away easily.

Ye Chu sighed softly, his eyes flashing with determination and unyielding spirit. Then, he slowly extended his slender fingers and gently touched the ancient and mysterious storage ring.

The faint breath flowing between his brows seemed to gently unlock the seal of the ring, like a key.

In an instant, a spatial fluctuation rippled outwards, drawing his mind into a vast and boundless treasure trove.

A unique glimmer of light instantly caught his attention.

Earth-level combat skill: Dragon Shaking Fist!

This legendary supreme manual, known as the Dragon-Shaking Gate Manual, seems to possess the power to overturn rivers and seas and shake the heavens. It lies there quietly, waiting for its destined owner.

An indescribable excitement welled up in Ye Chu's heart, as if he could already foresee how heroic and dashing he would be after mastering this skill.

The fierce battle that night not only tempered his will but also forged an unbreakable bond between him and this secret manual.

At this moment, Ye Chu closed his eyes and concentrated, using his Qi to sense objects. His keen insight into martial arts techniques allowed him to quickly grasp the essence of the "Shaking Dragon Fist".

Especially the two battles last night, every move of his opponent, every flow of power, was clearly outlined in his mind, as if the martial arts had already become one with him, just waiting for him to unleash them with all his might.

From this moment on, the path of cultivation becomes smoother than ever before.

However, besides the "Shaking Dragon Fist", there was also an inconspicuous bottle lying quietly in Ye Chu's palm. It looked unremarkable, but it seemed to bear a great weight.

He gently stroked the exquisite little bottle, and as his fingertips moved, an indescribable anticipation quietly grew within him.

As his gaze pierced through the translucent glass bottle, Ye Chu's pupils were instantly captivated by a strange sight—sealed inside the bottle was a drop of crystal-clear, yet powerful, demonic blood.

This blood is extraordinary, capable of attracting the attention of a third-tier martial artist. Its rarity is evident, certainly beyond compare to anything of this world.

As the bottle cap was gently opened, an ancient and intense bloody aura suddenly erupted, as if tearing apart the shackles of time and space, soaring straight into the sky.

It instantly entered Ye Chu's nasal cavity, causing him to involuntarily take a deep breath, feeling the ancient call and awe.

Ye Chu's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart filled with turbulent waves that were difficult to calm. This aura was too familiar, yet too distant, as if it had crossed endless rivers of time, striking directly into the depths of his soul.

He wondered to himself, could this be... the legendary blood essence of a demonic dragon?

Upon thinking of this, Ye Chu's breathing became rapid, and an overwhelming sense of excitement and elation surged within his chest.
