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

The third-tier great demon, the Winged Feathered Monkey, suddenly appeared. Its size had increased by an astonishing third compared to the Water Monkey it had encountered earlier, and it was as imposing as a mountain.

It gripped the gleaming hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, its eyes flashing with the cunning and madness unique to wild beasts.

Suddenly, an unstoppable blade of light slashed down from the sky, heading straight for the spot where Ye Chu had just been standing!

With a deafening roar, the tree branch, as thick as a giant pillar, snapped in two under this astonishing blow, sending wood chips flying everywhere, as if the earth itself trembled.

Ye Chu moved swiftly, narrowly dodging the attack at the last second. The sharp blade wind, its last whistling sound, whistled past his ears, bringing with it gusts of biting cold wind.

The winged monkey was surrounded by a dense, chilling aura, like an icy torrent surging from the abyss.

Not only did it freeze the surrounding air, but even the continuous drizzle instantly condensed into crystal-clear ice beads upon touching the monster, which then attacked Ye Chu.

Ye Chu's expression hardened, and with a flick of his gun, he shattered the ice beads, which then scattered and crackled all around.

At this moment, the winged monkey, with its extraordinary posture, deeply embedded its single paw into the texture of the ancient wood.

Its wings swayed gently behind it, each feather creating invisible ripples.

The large sword he gripped tightly in his right hand still gleamed with a chilling light even in the rain.

Its neck was unusually thick, and a huge fleshy tumor was growing on it, closely connected to its chin.

The winged monkey looked down at Ye Chu from its high vantage point, its eyes filled with a palpable killing intent.

……

On the other side, in the square.

Staff from various television stations set up tents.

A young female host was holding a microphone in one hand, but had to cover her short skirt with the other hand, when a sudden gust of wind caused a glimpse of her underwear.

"Hello everyone, I'm your host Wenwen. As you can see, Zhenhai City has experienced an unusually severe rainstorm, and many areas have been seriously affected."

"The Wuxie area, which is of most concern to everyone, has also experienced a partial collapse, and many participants have been evacuated from it."

"Experts predict that the leaderboard on the plaza is unlikely to see any significant changes; the dark horse D583 will still be in first place by a large margin..."

"Awooo—!"

A soul-stirring roar, like the awakening of an ancient behemoth, suddenly boomed out from the secluded depths of the Wuxie Scenic Area.

Its sound was so intense that even those on the edge of the square could hear it clearly, like thunder, sending a shiver down their spines.

The female host's face froze instantly, her eyes flashing with disbelief, as if she had been frozen in place by this sudden force, and all the surrounding noise fell silent.

In the square, the astonishment in the crowd spread rapidly like ripples.

All eyes turned in unison to the direction from which the sound came, their faces filled with a complex mix of astonishment and curiosity.

This scene, without warning, intruded into the ongoing live broadcast, sweeping over every viewer in front of their television set like a storm.

That deafening roar pierced through the screen, striking the depths of everyone's heart and instantly freezing the atmosphere in countless families.

"Quick! Emergency switch, insert the GG!"

The chief commander of Zhenhai City Broadcasting Station immediately issued instructions.

His voice carried an undeniable firmness, as if the air itself was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, the staff below immediately sprang into action, their fingers flying across the control panel.

They raced against time to erase this unexpected "accident" from the live stream, replacing it with a pre-prepared "GG" screen, striving to minimize the impact.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this resounding sound could not have been made by a first or second-tier demon.

A monster in the Wuxie region has reached the third tier!

"Is that possible? The Five Gorges have only had cracks for a mere six months, how could a demon beast have already reached the third rank?"

"Moreover, we have already ventured deep into the area twice before the Martial Arts Tournament, eliminating the vast majority of threats. Even second-tier demonic beasts have been almost completely wiped out, leaving no trace!"

At this moment, on the edge of Wuxie, inside that towering building specifically built to oversee the martial arts competition, the atmosphere was as heavy as lead, and disbelief and urgency were written on everyone's face.

The Federation's elite martial artists, along with the teachers and outstanding seniors of Zhenhai City Martial Arts University, headed to the conference room. Their steps were hurried and forceful due to their inner anxiety, as if each step was in time.

That sudden, loud roar pierced the sky and touched the hearts of everyone present, stirring up ripples in the air.

Wu Hongdao, the president of Zhenhai Martial Arts University and mayor, had a solemn expression on his face, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him, almost dripping with water.

"Can we determine what kind of monster it is by comparing its voice?"

The research specialist standing to the side, pale-faced and with lips trembling slightly from nervousness, mustered his courage to answer.

"Principal Wu, it's a third-tier demonic beast, the Winged Feathered Monkey!"

"What did you say?!" Wu Hongdao's face instantly turned ashen, his voice suffocating with suppressed anger.

As a fifth-order martial arts grandmaster, he was naturally not afraid of any third-order demonic beasts, but the current situation made it impossible for him to remain calm.

Because this third-tier demonic beast appeared during the preliminary rounds of the martial arts competition!

If it were an ordinary third-tier demon beast, it wouldn't matter, since each competition implicitly allows for casualties as the price of the trial.

But the winged monkey is different; other monsters will have their killing desires reduced once they are full and satisfied.

But it is not only extremely bloodthirsty, but also has a penchant for killing and torture!

If left unchecked, the entire trial grounds of the preliminaries will become its slaughter grounds!

It should be noted that those participating in the preliminary rounds are mostly young martial artists, whose highest health and vitality values ​​are only six or seven hundred.

Sending them to face a third-tier winged monkey is tantamount to suicide!

"Wu Hongdao, the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed! The preliminary rounds must be suspended immediately, without delay!"

An elderly man with silver hair suddenly pushed open the heavy conference room door. Although his steps were unsteady, he carried an aura that could not be underestimated and rushed into the conference room.

"Professor Chen, please be careful; your health is paramount."

The young man following closely behind hurriedly stepped forward, firmly supporting the old man's arms with both hands. He then turned to Wu Hongdao, his tone slightly apologetic, "Principal Wu, I'm truly sorry. Professor Chen was concerned about the bigger picture and acted rashly. I hope you will forgive him."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongdao turned around and met the gaze of the highly respected elder with profound eyes.

"Abandon? Abandon it like this? In the future, when monsters ravage and invade the city, can we so easily give up and abandon it halfway?"

"Fighting against demonic beasts is a life-or-death struggle! They may be here today, or they may be here tomorrow!"

"We will eventually set foot on this land and challenge our limits."

Wu Hongdao's tone was firm, revealing an unquestionable resolve.

"This was all destined to happen, and it is the mission of us martial artists."

"you--!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Chen's expression changed drastically. His beard trembled slightly with anger, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Absurd! It's utterly illogical!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongdao remained calm and composed, his eyes showing no anger, only resoluteness and composure.

"Escort Professor Chen back safely, and make sure he is safe."

"Immediately activate emergency communications to summon all martial artists on the edge of Wuxie, led by Zheping."

"We must kill the winged monkey as quickly as possible!"
