Chapter 673: Center of Attention
ng Yishan and Bai Suxin looked over. She was right. Their son was there, swaggering and posing at the most eye-catching spot in the square formation of Agricultural University. No, it would be more accurate to say that he was doing it in the most eye-catching spot of the entire victory parade.
Speaking of which, ng Chao really took advantage of the situation and stood in the spotlight during the victory parade today.
Before the alliance of the five universities were the Red Dragon Army and the elite squads of the ga corporations, and they placed an emphasis on discipline and teamwork. They wanted to give off a stern and imposing deanor. Even those at the peak of Heaven Realm would not flaunt their personalities too much.
However, the youth defenders from Dragon City University and the alliance of the five universities were young and full of vigor. They were at the age where they wanted to let the people know about their personalities.
They were unlike the disciplined squads and ford a uniform square formation that walked in uniform steps.
Instead, they wore clothes of all sorts of colors and used a lot of spoils of war to decorate their own formation, making their square formations so full of decorations that they looked like they were doing a float parade.
Among the six best universities, Agricultural University (Monster University) was the most eye-catching.
After all, they captured a lot of monsters alive on the battlefield and implanted chips, tal skeletons, and self-destruct collars on them. Then, after a series of biochemical modifications, they turned these originally fierce and wild beasts into biochemical war beasts that followed humans obediently and listened to their every command.
There was nothing else even more exciting and pleasurable than making their enemies of the past submit completely to them and making them work for them.
When the students from Agricultural University rode the monsters and walked through the street in a swagger, the area around them instantly erupted with thunderous applause.
But the spoils of Agricultural University were not limited to these biochemical war beasts alone.
They also had the Demonic Mountain with them!
After hundreds of harvesters worked three days and three nights, the Demonic Mountain’s flesh and organs were all removed.
However, since its skeleton looked really mighty and domineering, it was processed and refined to beco the most eye-catching character in the entire victory parade.
This was a monster that was nearly one hundred ters tall, but it fell under the humans’ sabers and artillery. Its skull shone with a tallic light, and the terrifying holes and intersecting cracks just told the people how terrifying the humans’ military technology was.
This scene instantly caused millions of citizens to feel their pride as Earthlings explode.
The Red Dragon Army, ga corporations, and the other five universities had also killed their share of Apocalyptic Beasts, the problem was, the Apocalyptic Beasts they killed were either not as big as the Demonic Mountain and did not provide such a major visual impact, or their bones could not be preserved for a long ti, which led to them being ground to powder and sent for further processing.
Hence, they could only watch as Agricultural University used the Demonic Mountain’s huge skeleton to boast about their achievents and strength!
As for Agricultural University, Black Tortoise Zong Yue should be the one to lead the squad that killed the Demonic Mountain.
Nevertheless, with Zong Yue’s status as soone who had led Agricultural University’s martial arts course for decades, there was no need for him to join the youth defenders and be judged by millions of citizens. It was impossible for him to do so as well.
As a Deity Realm superhuman, he had the right to sit at the rostrum platform.
Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo, Griffin Li Yingzi, and the other tutors were also assured of their statuses, and they had no need to fight for flowers, glory, and the chance to be at the center of attention with their students.
Hence, ng Chao was the one who benefitted from this, since he was the only student who joined the fight to kill the Demonic Mountain. He stood on the Demonic Mountain’s skull and represented Agricultural University to be judged by a few ten million citizens.
Speaking of which, ng Chao had carefully dressed up for an entire night so that he would not embarrass his university.
Inside, he wore a black nano fighting suit, and on the outside, he wore a soft armor made of an Apocalyptic Beast’s leather. On his chest was Agricultural University’s emblem. Aside from that, there were all the dals he had gained from his national college examination and the recent battle in the lair.
Two of them were from the Red Dragon Army. They were commonly known as the Artillery dal, and they were proof that soldiers had contributed to the war effort. One of them was given to him during his national college examination’s practical exam, and the other was for the northern offense.
Three of them were from the Survival Committee. They were commonly known as the Dragon dal, and these were the proof that citizens had contributed to the war effort. They were for his national college examination, the northern offense, and the Noble Descent Hotel ambush.
Another three were from the Supernatural Tower. They were commonly known as the Star dal, and they were proof that superhumans had contributed to the war effort. These were given to him for the Blessed Paradise murderous pets case, the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, and the battle in the lair.
The newest Star dal he received looked like it was made of a crystalline, red gem. He wore it over his chest, and it trembled due to his heartbeat, causing it to shine with a faint, blood-red light.
The citizens who knew stuff imdiately understood that this was a blood dal, the highest-ranking dal that was the hardest to get among the five-tiered achievent reward system in Dragon City.
Usually, they could only be obtained by martyrs who spilled their blood.
In other words, only when martyrs sacrificed their lives and died would they gain the honor of receiving the blood dal.
There were only a handful of people alive who received the blood dal.
Among them, the ones who remained with all their limbs intact and did not have any chanical prosthetics or synthetic organs placed in them were even rarer.
All of them contributed greatly and were legends who were crucial to the survival of Dragon City.
“The blood dal? It’s really the blood dal!”
“It’s a living bearer of the blood dal!”
“That’s ng Chao?”
A squad of biochemical war beasts, an Apocalyptic Beast skeleton that was one hundred ters long, and a living blood dal bearer.
When these three topics were grouped together, it was just too shocking and amazing.
Not only did the citizens on the spot cast fervent gazes on ng Chao, even the drones and armored airships who surrounded the parade pointed their caras —which looked like guns—at ng Chao.
The screens of the buildings around the area and the live streams on the citizens’ handphones and computers instantly showed ng Chao’s determined face, which was covered slightly in makeup. They also showed the shining blood dal on his chest.
The broadcasting channel only gave him a simple introduction and said that he was “ng Chao, representative of outstanding university students.”
However, ng Chao’s deed of entering the tiger’s den in the lair and turning the tides around during a critical mont had been exaggerated and gained dozens of versions before it spread to the people.
He had no choice. Even though ng Chao himself was soone who did not care about fa.
Unfortunately, for the sake of Dragon City’s future developnt and to have greater power when it ca to making decisions, he could only agree to Lu Siya’s plan and use the promotional departnt in Sky Pillar Corporation and Superstar to live stream, make advertisents, buy popularity, and organize offline ets with the fans. They also looked for quite a number of good-looking and eloquent people in the lair to create all sorts of versions of the heroic deeds that he could not say and publicize them on various channels so that it would occupy the people’s eyes and ears.
In the end, ng Chao and Lu Siya’s fa as the golden duo rose again.
ng Chao then entered the public eye with Golden Tooth Saber while keeping a low profile.
For example, with Golden Tooth Saber on his back, he helped an elderly woman cross the road. With Golden Tooth Saber on his back, he gave up his seat on a bus to a pregnant lady. With Golden Tooth Saber on his back, he held talks about the Demonic Halberd Pig’s biological structure to the children in kindergarten. These friendly and cordial scenes were fild by people accidentally and spread to every corner of the internet.
It caused concepts like ng Chao, wielder of Golden Tooth Saber, and successor of Saber Jin Wanhao to be bound tightly together and entered the hearts of the people.
At that mont, a large number of citizens who received fees from Sky Pillar Corporation and Superstar to promote ng Chao started shouting ng Chao’s na loudly in the crowd.
Quite a number of internet celebrities with a few ten hundred thousand fans up to a few hundred thousand fans also eagerly repeated ng Chao’s glorious deeds on the social dia platforms.
Even if ng Chao’s mind was as strong as steel and loved torturing his body to contribute to civilization, so he was not that interested with these average human girls, he was still touched by the citizens’ fervor. He nearly could not keep a cool front and almost started giggling like an idiot.
‘No, I have to keep it cool.’ ng Chao sucked in a deep breath and dug his fingers deep into his palm to keep his heart from racing. ‘We’re off to a good start in our long journey, and we’ve barely begun. The others might not know, but I do. Dragon City has only half a foot out of the newbie village!’
With that thought in mind, his thoughts pierced through the cheering crowd and went to the boundless battlefield in the Other World as well as the burning apocalypse.
Ti waited for no one. Even if they had really won the Monster War, they did not have a lot of ti to celebrate and catch their breath, much less lay on the seemingly abundant spoils of war and sleep.
After all, the ultimate war that was going to sweep through the Other World was going to be so huge and intense that it was more than ten tis the scale of the Monster War!
Of course, before considering how Dragon City should join the world war in the Other World, he must first verify sothing.
Was the monster civilization really defeated?
Over the past half a month, ng Chao carefully combed through the mories of his previous life and dug through every information he had about the Monster War.
This was the conclusion he ca up with, the main forces of the monster civilization had really been defeated, dispersed, and crippled during this battle.
Unless the monster civilization could use a thod that made absolutely no scientific sense and create a force that was twice or thrice bigger than what they had in his previous life, then, Monster Mountain Range truly belonged to the humans’ steel army now. The remaining monsters could only cower in the corners and wait for the humans to drown them with artillery shells. This was the only ending they had.
Now that he thought about it carefully, even though the invasion of the large monster horde this ti was sudden, to the monster civilization, this was their only choice. After all, after they lost the northern offense, they lost every other subsequent battle and always returned in failure as well as suffered major losses to their forces. Their only option left was to launch a decisive final battle while Dragon City made their pie bigger and was at the limits of their developnt. The reason was, at that ti, Dragon City’s forces and firepower was lacking, and this was a window of opportunity for the monster civilization.
Honestly speaking, the chances of chaos in the lair was really high, and the monster civilization had a high chance of victory in the battle. It was worth it for them to stake everything in this battle.
There should be nothing strange about this battle.
Since the humans crushed the monsters’ sche in the lair and their offense at the borders, the Monster War should end a few years earlier, so they should have no need to fight in those battles with countless casualties and multiple powerful fighters dying anymore, right?
All they needed to do next was to destroy the enemies’ hideout and drag out the monsters’ mastermind once it had no more monsters to command.
Everything seed to be perfect, in fact, it was too perfect.
But there was one small question that remained in ng Chao’s mind.
‘Where are the rest of the Supernatural Entities hiding?’
