High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 125: Chapter 118: Only Strength Matters

”Shadow Hunting Bureau?”

Zhang Jianwu immediately understood Jiang Ye’s feelings upon hearing this.

He, of course, knew that Jiang Ye’s father was on duty at the Shadow Hunting Bureau.

And he was on night shift!

Now, all the experts from the Shadow Hunting Bureau have been dispatched to combat the Shadow Disaster.

If a Starry Sky Corridor appears near the Shadow Hunting Bureau? The situation would be terrible!

”Jiang Ye.” Zhang Jianwu immediately said, ”Don’t act impulsively, the experts from the Shadow Hunting Bureau have definitely noticed, and someone will return for defense.”

”You must not go out and take risks alone!”

”Jiang Ye! Do you hear me?” Zhang Jianwu’s voice was extremely severe.

”Director, I understand.” Jiang Ye’s voice was calm.

But upon hearing his voice, Zhang Jianwu’s heart sank.

He sternly said, ”If this is a level 2 Shadow Disaster, you won’t be able to save your father and might even put yourself in danger.”

”Jiang Ye, stay at home and don’t go anywhere, do you understand?”

”Leave your father to me, I’m already on my way!”

Zhang Jianwu’s voice carried the sound of sharp wind.

Clearly, he was rushing to the Shadow Hunting Bureau at full speed.

”Director!” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel tense.

”No need to worry about me, I’ve already informed Cao Feng and the others.” Zhang Jianwu spoke quickly, ”Stay at home, don’t go out!”

”Alright, take care!” Jiang Ye said in a deep voice.

Zhang Jianwu hung up, rushing to the Shadow Hunting Bureau, unable to be distracted.

Jiang Ye didn’t linger long on the rooftop either.

He quickly returned to his home.

”Brother!”

Jiang Ting ran out, panicked, tightly hugging Jiang Ye, ”It’s the Shadow Disaster, right? I’m so scared...”

”Don’t be afraid,” Jiang Ye gently comforted, ”If the sky falls, your brother will hold it up.”

Beside them, Li Anping also looked panicked, her hair unkempt, hands trembling.

”Mom, don’t worry about Dad,” Jiang Ye knew what she was worried about, ”Dad will be okay.”

”Okay.” Li Anping nodded, not speaking further.

Jiang Ye didn’t say much more either.

After comforting his frightened sister, he went to the window.

Looking out at the scene.

Their home was on the sixth floor, and from this height, he could still see a crack about twenty meters long above the Shadow Hunting Bureau.

Within the crack, a colorful Starry Sky Corridor flickered in and out of sight.

The Shadow Race has not appeared yet.

But he could vaguely see the Starry Sky Corridor slowly writhing.

”It must!”

”It must hold until the Director arrives,” Jiang Ye silently chanted.

As he gazed at the scene outside the window, he felt a strong urge rising in his heart.

To become stronger!

If at this moment, he were already at the Second Break, or even the Third Break Martial Arts Master, why would he fear the Shadow Disaster?

The distance from Taoyang District to the Shadow Hunting Bureau was much shorter than Zhang Jianwu’s distance.

Yet even this distance, Jiang Ye at this moment, couldn’t get closer.

Jiang Ye was not one to fear death.

It’s just that he knew if this really was a level 2 Shadow Disaster, rushing out wouldn’t save Jiang Dahai but would cost him his life.

What’s more, at home were Li Anping and Jiang Ting, both needed protection.

The sense of helplessness in having to choose stemmed from... not being strong enough!

”Only strength.” Jiang Ye closed his eyes.

In his chest, it felt as though a warm current was surging through.

At this moment, Jiang Ye had an unprecedented desire to become strong.

...

At the same time.

Across the entirety of An City.

Various colorful Starry Sky Corridors began to appear.

Among these, several corridors began spewing large numbers of Shadow Race, sweeping in all directions.

Fortunately, the Shadow Hunting Bureau had pre-emptively locked down the nearby areas and stationed personnel to guard them.

But.

Soon the powerhouses of the Shadow Hunting Bureau found that among the Shadow Race, there weren’t just infant forms.

There were also juvenile forms of the Shadow Race!

Juvenile Shadow Race—standing between three to ten meters tall, comparable to First Break or even Second Break powerhouses.

Individually, a juvenile form isn’t a huge threat.

But what if ten, twenty, or even hundreds of juvenile forms appeared?

With An City’s current defense system, it wasn’t enough to withstand such an attack scale!

”What’s going on!”

”Why are there so many juvenile forms appearing?”

”This isn’t a level 1 Shadow Disaster!” In a lockdown area, members of the Shadow Hunting Bureau’s third squad were bravely fighting.

Facing the horde of massive juvenile Shadow Race, everyone’s scalp tingled in fear.

The monitoring was wrong!

If it were just a level 1 Shadow Disaster, there couldn’t be this many juvenile forms.

But if it really is a level 2 Shadow Disaster, then there’s a chance for Shadow Race youth forms to appear!

Those are terrifying enemies comparable to a Third Break!

”District 3, West City, requesting support!”

”District 3, West City, requesting support!”

The squad there was on the verge of collapse.

But their calls were destined to go unanswered.

Because at this moment, almost all of the dozens of lockdown areas in An City faced the same situation.

Terrifying young Shadow Race creatures appeared one after another.

An City’s Shadow Hunting Bureau was about to hold out no longer!

...

”This is An City’s Shadow Hunting Bureau, a suspected level 2 Shadow Disaster has erupted, requesting urgent support from Cyan Yang City!”

”Repeating, An City suspected of erupting in a level 2 Shadow Disaster, requesting urgent support from Cyan Yang City!”

Amid the frenzied slaughter, the bald-headed captain roared.

”Kill!!!”

...

Cyan Yang City, Shadow Hunting Bureau.

A rapid and sharp alarm woke everyone up.

”Emergency notification, suspected level 2 Shadow Disaster in An City, First Squad, Second Squad, Third Squad... immediately proceed to support!”

”Repeating, immediately proceed to support!”

In an instant, the entire Cyan Yang City Shadow Hunting Bureau awakened like a war machine.

Mighty auras soared to the sky, filling the entire sky.

”An City? Level 2 Shadow Disaster?”

”Many people are going to die again.”

”First Squad and Second Squad, I hope you return safely!”

Many people didn’t even have time to say goodbye, quickly embarking on their journey.

They all knew that on this mission, some might never return.

But no one hesitated for a moment.

From the moment they entered this profession, every Shadow Hunter was prepared for sacrifice.

”Rumble!”

Moments later.

Flying machines took off from the Cyan Yang City Shadow Hunting Bureau, carrying hundreds of Shadow Hunters, racing towards An City.

...

Donghai Province, Penglai University.

In a plain large villa, a red-haired old man, Zhu Honglie, sat cross-legged.

On the screen projection in front of him were internal data files.

”Jiang Ye, 915 points?”

”Hehe, I knew this kid passed the Star Sea Divine Path certification.” Zhu Honglie shook his head and said, ”No wonder even Chen Yuntian is scrambling for him.”

Achieving such success with Original Talent is extremely rare!

In a certain sense.

It’s even more precious than some 1000-point Tao Bone talents.

”Chen Yuntian probably gave him a certification slot.”

”With this favor, it won’t be easy for me to compete.” Zhu Honglie pondered.

At this moment, a quick message popped up on the large screen in front of him.

[Suspected level 2 Shadow Disaster in An City...]

”An City? Level 2 Shadow Disaster?”

Zhu Honglie was involuntarily about to close it, but seeing these words, his expression suddenly changed.

”An City, that’s the city where that little guy is?”

Zhu Honglie abruptly stood up. He knew that in a small town like An City, with its weak defense capabilities, a Shadow Disaster would be an unimaginable catastrophe.

Let alone, a level 2 Shadow Disaster!

Thinking of this, Zhu Honglie swiped through the projection to bring up Jiang Ye’s information.

After thinking for a moment.

He made a phone call.

...Meanwhile, in Taoyang District.

Jiang Ye was anxiously watching the direction of the Shadow Hunting Bureau when his communication watch suddenly rang.

”What is this?” He glanced at the watch; it was an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, he answered.

”Student Jiang Ye, I am Teacher Zhu Honglie from Penglai University.”

”Penglai University?”

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned; he had just filled out his application tonight, and the news had come so soon?

”I saw that in your city, a level 2 Shadow Disaster has erupted.” Zhu Honglie quickly inquired, ”How’s the situation on your end?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye was stunned again.

He didn’t expect that the call wasn’t about his application, but the Shadow Disaster instead.

Jiang Ye didn’t have time to think much and said in a deep voice, ”Teacher Zhu, I’m fine, but the situation in An City is very bad...”

Halfway through his sentence, suddenly.

”Boom!”

From the direction of the Shadow Hunting Bureau’s Starry Sky Corridor, a burst of dark shadow erupted.

A dense wave of Shadow Race infants and younglings surged out like a tide.

Jiang Ye’s pupils shrank suddenly.

The Shadow Disaster had erupted!

The speed far exceeded his expectations.

And Zhang Jianwu hadn’t arrived.

”Jiang Ye?”

On the watch, Zhu Honglie asked, ”What’s happening on your end?”

”Sorry.” Jiang Ye regained his composure, suppressing his emotions as he spoke, ”My father is on duty in the Shadow Hunting Bureau’s security room, and a Shadow Disaster has erupted there, but no one is stationed.”

He tried hard to control his emotions.

But Zhu Honglie had already sensed Jiang Ye’s inner anxiety.

”I understand, don’t be nervous,” Zhu Honglie said decisively, ”I have some connections in An City, your father will be alright, I say so!”
