Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Xiang Ning had just used his entire strength and could no longer stand. He could only collapse and lay down next to Wu Rui. This scene was recorded by Zhao Huatai, and it would be used as teaching material for the next generation of martial artists of Marsh City in the future.

Qi Jiuming and Li Bu both rushed to the stage and checked their students. After ensuring that they didn’t require critical aid, they smiled at each other. A buzzing sound interrupted the silence as Qi Jiuming’s phone rang. He was confused as to who had just sent him a message, but the moment he saw it he knew what it was about.

He kept his phone back in his pocket and said seriously. “Li Bu, we should send both of them to the recovery capsules. They just advanced and already used their entire strength. If we don’t treat them properly, there might be side effects.”

Li Bu agreed. “Teacher Li, send the two of them into the recovery capsules.”

“Yes!”

Soon, the youths were carried away in levitating stretchers.

Seeing that both of them had left the arena, Li Bu stood in the arena and surveyed his students. Everyone lowered their heads when he stared at them.

“Vice headmaster Wang, I leave it to you.” He left with Qi Jiuming as soon as he said that.

Twenty minutes later, Li Bu menacingly chuckled as he found Qi Jiuming on his phone.

“Explain what?”

“Motherfucker! Your student just used fifteen drops of recovery fluid! I had to pay for fourteen drops by myself! You knew this would happen and you dared use me!” Li Bu popped a vein.

The doctor called for Li Bu. “Headmaster Li, the recovery fluid has depleted, should I add more?”

Li Bu stared at Qi Jiuming, who refused to say anything. I knew he consumed a lot of recovery fluid, but to think it’d be this much?

“Add more!” Li Bu gritted his teeth.

Xiang Ning, on the other hand, was greatly enjoying it. He wanted to use a pill, but when he heard that he was being sent into a recovery capsule, he decided to go with the flow.

Level: Tier two, five-star martial artist (2100/9500)

Experience Points +130

+130

+130

...

Level: Tier two, six-star martial artist

His cells finally had their fill and the wound on his body quickly recovered. After five minutes, he walked out of the capsule with a smile; Li Bu wanted to smack him.

“Scram.” Li Bu didn’t even want to see him anymore. Not only had Xiang Ning beaten the crap out of his students, but he’d even used up sixteen drops of recovery fluid. Li Bu had lost so much today!

“Xiang Ning, head back to school.” Qi Jiuming smiled mischievously.

Xiang Ning nodded and thanked Li Bu for his hospitality. “I’ll come again if I have the chance.”

Li Bu almost failed to suppress himself.

Fury Points +66

When Xiang Ning left, Li Bu finally sat down in defeat. “Quickly state your business, or you can just scram too.” He was tired.

But when he heard what Qi Jiuming said, he stood up immediately. His expression wasn’t good.

“Tranquil City has fallen, almost three thousand martial artists perished as they killed over sixty thousand beasts. It’s been confirmed that over a hundred thousand beasts are marching toward us.” Qi Jiuming was serious.

“Is this true?”

“It was sent by Dong Qianyi.”

“Fuh… Looks like it's time to warm up these old bones.” Li Bu shrugged and cracked his knuckles.

The headmasters of the twelve academies were retired frontliners that had fought hundreds of battles, and every single one of them had had the potential to advance into tier seven. But due to their injuries, they were forced to stay in tier six. If they were to advance, their injuries would no longer be suppressed and they would die.

“No, the higher-ups want us to use the special class in three months.” Qi Jiuming’s hand was shaking as he said that.

Li Bu slammed the table in anger when he heard that. “Those damn bastards! What are they thinking! Are they planning to use them as cannon fodder?!”

Qi Jiuming shook his head. “The situation of the battle in the outer realms isn’t good, so they’re unable to send anyone to reinforce us. It was also highly likely that this beast stampede was caused by the same beast as the one thirty years ago.”

“Octoviolet Silversnake, Balamu!” Li Bu gritted his teeth as he said every single word. Thirty years ago, his master had been killed by that beast!

“Don’t get too excited. The higher-ups are clear on their instructions. Not only is the situation in the outer realms critical, but the beasts are undergoing their sixth evolution. Who knows how many stronger beast types will appear!” Qi Jiuming sighed.

Since the Spirit Origin era, the ferocious beasts had undergone five evolutions. Every time it happened, new beasts would appear and there was a chance that a beast surpassing the Beast King rank would appear. Humanity always suffered heavy losses. As for the outer realms, let’s just say that humanity isn’t the only race living in the galaxy.

“But in three months, most of them will only step into tier two. They’ll only be able to survive in the safer parts of the wilderness. To send them to the front line is suicide!” Li Bu growled.

“We’ll have to post requests throughout the entire city and recruit every single martial artist we can find…”

Li Bu felt that his life had been shaved off by years and sat back on his sofa.

“Sigh, we’re out of time. Humanity is inching closer to extinction, so we must quickly grow stronger, fight, and increase our strength. We can only train them like crazy through this period and minimize their casualties on the battlefield.” Qi Jiuming let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Xiang Ning had just stepped out of Hanwu Academy and saw Fang Rou standing opposite the pedestrian walkway.

They locked gazes and saw each other in the reflection of their eyes.

The green light lit up and Fang Rou walked toward him. One step, two steps, and three.... She sprinted and placed herself into his embrace.

Xiang Ning was a bit awkward with her in his arms, but her softness and sweet scent calmed him down. Her long hair was flowing in the wind, tickling his nose. He wanted to say something but decided not to. Time seemed to stand still….
