The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 567 - 455: The Great Xia Counteroffensive
Miss Qiao opened her eyes and stared at him, articulating each word carefully: "Qi, Shang, Colonel."
The pink doll also became serious: "Chaji."
The burly man instantly became honest: "Sorry."
"...?"
"...?"
Suddenly, as if they sensed something, they lifted their heads to look out the window of the infirmary.
It seemed like there was a flicker of misty golden light.
"Could this be—"
At this moment, within the army camp, and even on the front lines, all the Spirit Masters and their contractual partners inexplicably felt much more at ease.
On the Outer Battlefield, the spiritual pressure on Spirit Masters is very high, making them prone to irritability or emotional fluctuations.
This is not only due to the Demonic Qi and the battles but also because being on the world's edge and facing the fear of the Outer Realm inevitably impacts the spirit.
If Spirit Masters did not specialize in Spiritual Power, Meditation Technique, and the mutual stabilization of minds with contractual partners through the Idealist Extraordinary System, it might end up like the end times of many worlds, with many people going berserk, leading to collapse.
Yet just now.
A vast and overwhelmingly positive feeling began to flood through the army camp.
No...
It was the entire battlefront.
It was the whole territory of Fenghai Province on the Outer Battlefield!
The suffocating pressure of defending the Boundary Wall suddenly lightened.
The strong ones who had to stay in command, preparing for unforeseen events, could now temporarily disengage and actively strike.
"Roar—!"
"Ang—!"
"Screech—!"
In an instant, a dozen terrifying, normally dormant auras shot up from the rear base of the defensive line.
Streams of light of every color pierced through the sky with an unstoppable momentum, charging out of the defensive line.
Yet it wasn't over.
From the massive World-Transcending Gate, similarly awe-inspiring streaks of light began to pour out representing powerful figures.
Within each streak of light was a True Man with an aura as deep as an abyss, be it Six-Star or Seven-Star, alongside their massive, mountain-like or lightning-like quick, incredibly majestic Beast King Level partners.
Storms began to descend on the battlefield.
The strongest of Fenghai Province are most adept at calling forth wind and rain!
They covered the sky, with earth-shattering might, like tigers among a flock of sheep, charging into the Demon Race forces outside the Boundary Wall!
Moreover, a terrifying lightning bolt that seemed capable of tearing through the universe, outshining all other True Men and Beast Kings, like a meteor across the eternal night, dove straight into the heart of the Demon Race army.
Colonel Qi murmured.
"Damn, what is going on with this year's provincial tournament? How reinforced has the Boundary Wall become?"
"Even the lord from the Southern Saint Sect could free their hands to personally take action?!"
He did not know.
This scene was not an isolated case.
The defensive lines on the Outer Battlefield belonging to Great Xia's provinces showcased similar scenes!
...
Three days later.
The latest war report from the Outer Battlefield of Great Xia spread nationwide in the news.
The entire nation was invigorated.
With the successful end of the provincial tournaments, the flow of fortune reinforced the Boundary Wall, and Great Xia's defense lines went on the offensive, achieving exceptionally glorious results.
Countless low-tier Demon Race were slain.
Over a hundred Tier Six Demon Kings.
Nearly fifteen Tier Seven Demon Kings.
Three Tier Eight Demon Gods.
The news shook all of Great Xia and even the entire Blue Star.
This was a victory that Great Xia had not experienced in decades!
......…
Fenghai Province.
Zhen Sheng City
Upon hearing the good news of gaining the upper hand in the battle against the Demon Race, along with the ownership of the championship spreading throughout Fenghai Province, Zhen Sheng City was thrown into unprecedented celebration.
The name of the Experimental School spread like wildfire, burning brightly in every corner of the city.
In every street and alley, whether it's the white-collar workers rushing to work in the morning, the housewives carrying shopping baskets home in the evening, or the students playing during breaks, they all talked about the new Fenghai Province champion team.
And… its captain.
Lin Guang!
Screens in many squares looped the spectacular performances of the Experimental School in the competitions, with each clash of light sparking thunderous cheers from the gathered crowds below.
"Did you see that! That's our Zhen Sheng City champion!"
A middle-aged man excitedly patted his son's shoulder, his face flushed as if he were the victor.
Though the boy was young, he carried a similar posture of pride, his eyes sparkling with admiration, his fists tightly clenched: "It's more than just a championship! It's a real legend! The so-called three great families are nothing!"
For Zhen Sheng City, perhaps this victory had long surpassed the significance of a mere competition.
Zhen Sheng City is a city that has endured trauma.
The divide between commoners and the three great families has been a long-standing one.
This championship was like a shot of adrenaline, injected into a city that suffered great damage from the Demon Race eleven years ago, igniting the flames in countless ordinary people's hearts.
Suddenly, the whole city revelled with pride, an intense emotion called "pride" permeating the air.
This wasn't simply a display of vanity.
In this world, a legendary genius truly can propel their hometown to develop.
As long as Lin Guang soared and continued to rise, his hometown would benefit in return.
Yet, at the center of this nationwide celebration, the true hero remained distant from the clamor.
...…
On the seventh day after the provincial tournament finals.
July 7th.
As night fell.
A private celebration was underway in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Longteng Hotel.
There were no flashing lights, no annoying magazine or newspaper reporters, only fragrant tea and wine and gentle laughter.
This banquet, personally organized by the director of the Bureau of Education, Kong Guofeng, only invited Lin Guang's teachers and friends.
