Chapter 459
Over the erald sea, the azure sky stretched out like a vast curtain, wispy clouds drifting as the sea breeze stirred the waves.
Thud thud thud—
An ard helicopter appeared against the sky. Then a second one, a third … Fighter jets soared through the sky like fierce eagles. Warships cruised across the sea, cutting through the water like arrows. Small white sailboats dotted the waters, dense yet orderly.
On each sailboat stood a robust navy soldier, full of spirit …
The grand event of the Dragon Kingdom Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition was beginning to unfold.
This year’s competition utilized over ten thousand drones and underwater caras, supported by satellite surveillance, to provide near-perfect, 360-degree coverage.
Along the waves of Ninghai, giant broadcasting screens had been set up early. Through these screens, even objects dozens or hundreds of kiloters away could be seen clearly, down to the smallest detail.
In the era of rising martial arts, technology had increasingly taken on the role of an observer. Suddenly, white waves surged on the southern sea.
A dozen figures tread upon the waves. Each figure exuded an imnsely powerful aura, with their qi and blood roaring like furnaces. Their spiritual energy surged skyward, undispersed by the wind.
Waves around them evaporated into white mist as their feet dipped beneath the water, driven forward by so mysterious force. Leading this group was a young man dressed in a blue combat uniform, wielding a pale golden spear.
Beneath his feet, the waves rose more than ten ters high, stretching out dozens of ters on either side.
He rode atop this towering white wall of water, revealing his handso face and tall, well-proportioned figure, like a legendary sea demon from ancient tis!
“That’s Li Yao, the top star general of the Southern Military Region.” On the deck of the largest warship, soone recognized the youth.
“Li Yao is ranked second on the Star general Ranking, with a combat power exceeding twenty-five stars … Truly impressive in both might and presence.”
A middle-aged man, dressed in a grand general’s uniform, sighed as he spoke. This warship gathered nearly a quarter of the major figures from Dragon Kingdom’s military Regions.
At the forefront stood five military Region marshals, hands clasped behind their backs. Behind them were over ten generals. Further back, nurous lieutenant generals and star generals stood, creating a dazzling gathering of military elites.
As the Southern Military Region’s “Sea Demon” Li Yao made his grand entrance, the Southern Region’s marshal and several generals smiled faintly. Although the military Regions were unified, there was still a sense of competition among them.
The more impressive their star generals appeared, the more face they gained.
Li Yao’s appearance acted as a trigger. Imdiately, the northern sea seed to explode as if struck by torpedoes. A dozen figures, as swift as dragons, burst from the water, sending waves dozens of ters high.
At the forefront was a towering man over two ters tall, his skin dark as coal. He stomped across the water, each step creating white splashes, as fierce and unstoppable as a black shark slicing through the waves.
“That’s Gao Tianzong, the top star general of the Northern Military Region!”
On the western sea, another extraordinary figure erged.
At the lead was a long-haired woman with a perfectly toned body. She cut through the waves like a sharp blade, half-subrged in the water. Each appearance of a star general group stirred thunderous cheers from the naval soldiers aboard the sailboats.
In this martial age, the spectacle of personal martial prowess ignited more fervor than technological advancents.
As the star generals from the different military Regions vied for supremacy, jets streaked across the sky. A dozen figures descended from above.
In mid-air, these figures erupted into radiant white light, like teors falling from the heavens.
Boom!
They slamd into the central part of the sea. The ocean surface caved in under the impact, raising an overwhelming tidal wave.
At the sight of this, the star generals from the three military Regions all stepped forward, their eyes gleaming with intensity.
Powerful energy, force fields, and formidable auras erupted from their bodies, colliding with the incoming tidal wave and forcing it back with sheer might.
It was as if the combined force of the three military Regions ford a giant hand, trying to suppress the waves.
But in the next breath …
Boom!
An enormous, invisible pillar of energy shot into the sky. Although the pillar itself was unseen to the naked eye, its edges could be traced.
Amidst the towering white waves, the area within the pillar remained utterly calm, as though it were a vacuum. Even the sunlight filtering into the space appeared slightly distorted.
This effect could only occur when soone’s martial presence had reached an unimaginable level.
The faces of the star generals from the three military Regions changed. They could clearly sense a terrifying, uncontrollable force erging from the center, like a colossal beast about to break free.
They wisely stepped back, dispersing the force fields around them.
With nothing to hold it back, the invisible pillar of energy exploded outward.
Boom boom boom!
The central area of the sea ford a massive bowl-shaped depression. At its edges, the violent power sent waves surging tens of ters high, forcing the surrounding star generals and naval forces to retreat. As the waves gradually cald, everyone saw a towering figure walking out from the tumultuous waters.
It was a young man with short, needle-like hair and a face as sharp as a blade.
He stood at 1.9 ters tall, his skin bronzed, and his eyes shone like stars.
With every movent, he exuded an overwhelming, domineering aura that seed to look down on the world. The star generals from the three military Regions all had slight contractions in their pupils and grim expressions upon seeing this figure.
anwhile, the naval soldiers watching erupted into frenzied cheers. Their voices, like crashing waves, rged into a single chant: “Eastern Emperor!”
This man was Dong Potian, the “Eastern Emperor.”
He was the top star general of the Central Military Region and ranked first on the Star general Ranking, the undisputed king of all the military’s star generals.
A lieutenant general with strength rivaling that of a full general.
“So, this is Dong Potian?”
On the highest warship, several generals stared intently at the young man who had appeared from nowhere.
“By now, he must have the qualifications and power of a full general, right?”
Soone asked, but the generals of the Central Military Region only smiled without answering.
Dong Potian’s powerful entrance, signaling his claim as the king among star generals, left countless people in awe and pushed the atmosphere of the competition to a new climax.
Suddenly, one general on the deck asked curiously,
“All four military Regions’ star generals have appeared, but where are the Eastern Region’s star generals?”
“They’ve already appeared, just without the grand display.” Soone casually replied.
“Indeed, the Eastern Region lacks a top-tier star general to lead the charge. The one leading earlier was a bit lacking …”
“I heard the Eastern Region has a rising star, the ‘Blazing Sun Prodigy.’ Why haven’t we seen him today?”
“Maybe he’s already appeared, and we just didn’t notice …” The generals whispered amongst themselves. Their words, though quiet, reached the ears of the Eastern Military Region’s generals and marshals.
