Xu Xiwang said with a look of disappointment, "Can't you try to be more ambitious! You're making the Xu family look bad!"
Xu Qingfeng was speechless. Could this guy put on an act any more?
However, Xu Qingfeng possesses the Wind God Physique and a mysterious inheritance within him, so catching up with Xu Xiwang is only a matter of time.
Having defeated Zhou Feng, Xu Xiwang's ranking naturally rose to ninth on the potential list.
This made Lin Qingxue, who had previously insisted that Xu Xiwang was a simp, even more remorseful, and she vowed that she would never break off the engagement.
The old man from the Lin family was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running to the Xu family compound every few days, fearing that his son-in-law would be snatched away by Ning Hanshuang's father, Ning Zhenhua.
Only Xu Xiwang's mother, Liu Qingyan, the eldest wife of the Xu family, refused to see anyone. Moreover, upon learning of Xu Xiwang's rapid progress, she wore a worried expression, as if she had some pent-up worries and was filled with sorrow.
She looked up into the distance and murmured, "If you don't come back soon, the child might be in danger..."
"City codename CT-03 has been attacked by a monster. A monster of the highest level has been detected. Military support is requested."
"City codenamed CT-03 has been destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people have died!"
"The monster has attacked the Southsea City region, which has a population of one million. The Southsea City garrison requests reinforcements!"
Upon learning the news, the military realized that the situation was spiraling out of control and had no choice but to request that various families and factions send experts to provide support.
Meanwhile, the message requesting help reached the Long family.
Inside the Dragon Palace, in the council hall.
"Monsters are attacking coastal cities one after another, each time with overwhelming force, resulting in countless civilian deaths and injuries!"
"In just three days, more than ten cities have been lost!"
"This monster rampage can be described as the most ferocious attack since the revival of spiritual energy!"
Many of the Dragon Palace Venerables wore expressions of worry.
"The true forms of all the supreme experts are suppressing that place; I'm afraid they can't spare the time!"
A powerful pressure emanated from the sky, and the figure of the Celestial Saint King appeared above the council hall.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
Inside the main hall, many venerable figures knelt on the ground and bowed in reverence.
"Lord Celestial Sage, what did you foresee in this calamity?"
The Celestial Saint Lord pondered for a moment, then spoke, "A great calamity is imminent; the anomalies in heaven and earth have arrived ahead of schedule... We cannot wait any longer."
The voice of the Heavenly Saint Lord resounded throughout the entire council hall, and every elder was stunned upon hearing it.
"Is disaster imminent?"
"Does Your Majesty mean that this monster rampage is likely to affect the balance of power in this world?"
The Celestial Saint King shook his head. "This is merely a harbinger of the changes in heaven and earth. The real changes are far more serious than we imagine."
"Your Majesty, Celestial Sage, have you foreseen how long this calamity will last?"
"Once it happens, it can't be reversed!"
The voice of the Heavenly Saint King suddenly became solemn. He looked at the horizon and narrowed his eyes.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"Issue my order: effective immediately, all Dragon Palace students are to be dispatched to various cities and front lines to prevent the monsters from invading."
"Issue the Dragon Palace decree, calling upon the strong to protect their homes and defend their country."
The Heavenly Saint Lord spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, we have poured so many resources into nurturing them. What if they were to die young...?"
One of the venerable ones raised his concerns.
The Celestial Saint Lord snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Do you think now is the time to fear the death of these promising talents? They are the pride of humanity, the future of humanity. They must withstand all trials! If they cannot even withstand this much danger, how can they bear the hope for humanity's future!"
"However, their current strength is not very high; only a few have reached the Transcendent Realm."
The Venerable One still wanted to argue.
"Then who do you think will survive when disaster strikes?"
The Celestial Saint King countered with a question.
The Venerable One was taken aback and remained silent.
After the Celestial Saint King finished speaking, his figure slowly dissipated into the void, leaving behind a sentence that lingered in everyone's ears: "Now is a time of national crisis. If there are any who are afraid of death, I will personally kill them!"
"yes!"
All the venerable ones in the hall answered in unison with solemn expressions.
