"Li Yu, how come you've suddenly gotten so strong?"

Fu Xiyao was the first person to notice the subtle changes in Li Yu.

"Is there?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu was slightly taken aback, then looked down.

Sure enough, his already sturdy body became even more muscular.

His muscles became more defined, and he exuded a sense of power.

After a moment's thought, Li Yu realized that this change was likely related to the three ghosts he had just killed.

It turns out that the energy just now not only nourished the spirit, but also strengthened the body.

Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly curled the corners of her lips and deliberately said to Fu Xiyao:

"These are all benefits from absorbing the crystal cores of alien beasts!"

"If you could absorb crystal energy every day like I do, you wouldn't be so thin now. People who don't know you would think I don't feed you."

After saying that, Li Yu took out a strange beast crystal core from his pocket, handed it to Fu Xiyao, and urged her:

"I'm making you absorb nutrients every day, and you're still slacking off."

"Take it, and absorb it quickly, understand?"

Li Yu said, enunciating each word clearly:

"We need to speed things up, and be quick!"

"I understand..." Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyao blushed and lowered her head gently, silently accepting the crystal core that emitted a faint light. She was as obedient as a docile little rabbit, not daring to ask any more questions.

Whenever this kind of issue came up, Li Yu would change the subject and urge her to absorb the crystal core quickly.

This has made him and her feel somewhat guilty and afraid whenever they see alien beast crystal cores.

"Waaah—"

Just then, a rapid alarm sounded again throughout the Great Wall.

Le Gang quickly looked into the distance.

Faintly visible dark shadows could be seen surging in the heavy rain, advancing towards the Central Plains defense line at an alarming speed.

Le Gang's body jolted violently:

"The Eternal Flame Alliance has finally made its move!"
