"It's over." Instructor Mu let out a long sigh of relief as Hai Daxiu's Life Base was retracted, freeing him from suppression.
"No, this is just the beginning," Hai Daxiu shook his head.
Instructor Mu stared at Hai Daxiu, seemingly realizing sothing, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Hai Daxiu also looked at him and said calmly, "You have been away from the ho planet for too long. Do you know the extent to which the Wan Family has developed now?"
Without waiting for Instructor Mu to answer, Hai Daxiu continued, "The Wan Family, now mainly based on the Hanji Star, a subordinate planet of the Di Man Tribe, already has its own strongholds on more than thirty Alien Worlds. Just openly, it boasts over a dozen Nirvana Beings on Hanji Star, and the number of Ascenders has reached the tens of thousands…"
"Nirvana Beings cannot return to the ho planet, and the new humans born on Alien Worlds can't return either. If they don't use the teleporter from the ho planet, they have no way to co back," Instructor Mu mused.
"You're right; Nirvana Beings cannot return to the ho planet, and the new human Ascenders also can't reach it. Then do you know how many of the Wan Family mbers who left the ho planet are now Ascenders? The number will not be less than a thousand, and most of them have undergone years of training; they won't be low-level Ascenders…"
Instructor Mu's expression grew more somber, and he knew what this implied. If the Wan Family were truly determined to kill the Lin Siblings, having viewed the footage of this battle, then it's possible that hundreds of advanced Ascenders might teleport back to the ho planet.
Looking out the window at the setting sun, Hai Daxiu said, "Their battle has ended, but ours has just begun."
"Do you want to help Lin Shen and the others?" Instructor Mu asked, both shocked and delighted.
"Not just them, but all the young people from the ho planet without backgrounds. They've proven their worth and have also moved ," Hai Daxiu said earnestly.
"What do you plan to do?" asked Instructor Mu.
"Join in convincing those old folks at the Human Supre Hall to at least get half of them to agree on passing a ho planet legislation that limits the excessive intervention of Alien World families in ho planet affairs," Hai Daxiu said as he glanced outside at Lin Shen and the others, "Until we succeed, they can only temporarily leave the ho planet."
"Go where?" Instructor Mu pondered.
"The others have their own families to make arrangents for them, but for Lin Shen and Lin Miao, as well as that Xin Swordsman, if they are willing, they can first head to Giant Ring Star," Hai Daxiu had already planned in his heart.
"Why Giant Ring Star?" Instructor Mu was confused. To his knowledge, that location was not under the influence of Hai Daxiu's backing.
"The Wan Family is backed by the Di Man Tribe. If they were to go to any of our planets, the Di Man Tribe's reach would still extend there. Giant Ring Star is under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Race, and you don't need to tell you about the relationship between them and the Di Man Tribe.
The Di Man Tribe cannot reach there; only on Giant Ring Star can they truly be free from the threats of the Wan Family and the Di Man Tribe," Hai Daxiu explained.
"That indeed seems feasible," Instructor Mu said pensively.
"Instructor Mu, let's start over, it's not too late. I know you've dedicated much to training the young people of the ho planet over these decades, but you must also acknowledge that the majority of teleporters leaving the planet are controlled by the major families. No matter how many youngsters you train, in the end, they can only turn to those families.
You need to pave a path of advancent for them, not just train them," Hai Daxiu stared at him with burning eyes, "I know starting over is difficult, but I believe you can do it."
Instructor Mu looked at Hai Daxiu in stunned silence, then finally managed a wry smile, "As long as you don't mind holding you back."
"Who would dare say that Mu Qingchuan of Martial Star is holding anyone back? Back in the day, you were without equal," Hai Daxiu also smiled.
"What Martial Star, you're slapping my face," Instructor Mu said with a bitter smile.
"No, in my heart, you are always that Mu Qingchuan who once suppressed his contemporaries," Hai Daxiu's gaze was serious, with not a hint of jest.
...
Except for Wei Wufu, all the fighting had ended.
Apart from Zhu Kailing, the fourteen Ascenders from the Wan Family who ca to the Sea Corn Base had been virtually annihilated.
The Ascender battling Xin Swordsman ultimately died at the hands of his own Life Base, killed by Xin Swordsman using his own strength against him.
Zhu Kailing wanted to escape, but he couldn't shake off Wei Wufu.
"Are you alright?" Lin Shen went over to check on Ouyang Yudu's injuries.
"Being injured just makes feel a bit more comfortable," Ouyang Yudu said, not minding the wound on his chest. The wound hadn't healed, and strangely, though his flesh was split open and the injury looked severe, it was not bleeding anymore.
Lin Shen, assured that Ouyang Yudu's injuries didn't need attention, finally relaxed.
He really hadn't expected Ouyang Yudu to help him.
What puzzled Lin Shen even more was Xin Swordsman. Seriously speaking, he and Xin Swordsman were enemies rather than friends. The fact that Xin Swordsman helped him was even more surprising than Ouyang Yudu lending a hand.
But when Lin Shen went to look for Xin Swordsman, he only caught sight of his retreating figure, already riding his mount into the distance.
"Xiaodao, thank you," Lin Shen said sincerely to Tu Xiaodao, who was approaching with a young girl.
"It was within my power," Tu Xiaodao replied, pointing to the girl beside him. "This is my younger sister, Tu Xiaoyao."
"Xiaoyao?" Lin Shen was slightly surprised, then glanced at the girl's waist, which was indeed very slender.
The girl chuckled and spat, "Where are you looking? It's 'yao,' as in demon, not waist."
"I see," said Lin Shen, finally understanding.
"It hasn't been long, and yet you're already a Second Turn Ascender," Lin Shen remarked to Tu Xiaodao after greeting Tu Xiaoyao.
"It was your inspiration that made realize that everything else is illusory, and only level and strength truly matter. I don't need to challenge those above my level; I just need to always be of a higher level and stronger than my opponents. Crushing them is all that matters," Tu Xiaodao said, assessing Lin Shen.
"Originally, I wanted to co out and crush you and Ouyang Yudu, but it seems my level isn't high enough yet. I need a higher level and stronger strength. After I return this ti, I won't co out again until I reach Tenth Turn. After that, we'll et again."
With that, Tu Xiaodao took his leave with Tu Xiaoyao.
Lin Shen watched Tu Xiaodao go, not rembering when he'd ever inspired him.
Wei Wufu was as stable as a machine, so flawless in his conduct that he almost never made a mistake in any situation.
But Zhu Kailing didn't have such a good temperant. So many Ascenders had co together, and now he was the only one left who hadn't died.
Lin Shen and the others were watching the battle, and Zhu Kailing was starting to get impatient, even desperate to shake off Wei Wufu and flee.
But the more he wanted to escape, the less he could get rid of Wei Wufu.
Wei Wufu remained calm and cautious, always fighting Zhu Kailing with the most perfect tactics.
Zhu Kailing, seeing Lin Shen as though he was about to help, chose to take a dangerous risk. However, he gave Wei Wufu the opportunity he needed; Wei Wufu landed a punch on Zhu Kailing's back, the force piercing straight through to his heart, causing Zhu Kailing to violently cough up blood. Not only did he fail to escape, but his situation worsened rapidly.
Wei Wufu, expressionless, kept a tight hold on Zhu Kailing and continued his steady assault. Zhu Kailing, who had lost his will to fight and was injured, couldn't withstand the blows, being hit by Wei Wufu repeatedly, though how many tis was unclear.
In the end, he spat out fragnts of his shattered organs, and was close to the end of his life.
"Wei, you really are strong!" Lin Shen couldn't help but give a thumbs-up; this man had really taken on a Third Turn Ascender head-on without a scratch.
